Alone
Cosmic Gate Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't breathe 'cause you're like a wave crashing down on me
You leave and every single step takes a part of me
Your love is a mark on my history
When you leave every single step takes a part of me

Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh

Slow down, can you feel this place here is holy ground?
Don't know who I'm gonna be if you're not around
Your love is the best that I ever found
Don't know who I'm gonna be if you're not around

I don't wanna meet somebody new
I'm not gonna start getting over you
If you won't take me home I'll be alone, be alone
'Cause you're the only one that's on my mind
And other things are a waste of time
If you won't take me home I'll be alone, be alone

Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Alone" by Cosmic Gate Feat. Kristina Antuna is an expression of the pain experienced by the singer after a break-up, where the memories of the relationship still linger and take up space in her mind. She compares the experience to a wave crashing down on her, indicating the intense and overwhelming nature of her emotions. The absence of her ex-lover has made her feel incomplete, with every step taken reminding her of the love that once existed between them.

The singer is torn between moving on or holding onto the past. She recognizes the holiness of the place where they once shared beautiful moments and understands that her partner is the best thing that's ever happened to her. She, however, resigns herself to the fact that without her partner, she is lost and doesn't know who she is. She is not interested in finding someone else to fill the void; rather, she wishes for her ex-partner to take her home.

The chorus of the song repeats the line "be alone" several times, signifying the loneliness and isolation she feels after the breakup. The lyrics are poignant and capture the emotions felt by many people who have gone through heartbreak.

Line by Line Meaning

Can't breathe 'cause you're like a wave crashing down on me
Your presence is overwhelming and makes it difficult for me to continue with my daily life

You leave and every single step takes a part of me
I feel incomplete every time you leave

Your love is a mark on my history
Your love is significant in shaping who I am today

Slow down, can you feel this place here is holy ground?
This moment and this relationship we share is sacred and important

Don't know who I'm gonna be if you're not around
I am lost without you and unsure of my own identity

Your love is the best that I ever found
You are unlike anyone else and your love is unique and special

I don't wanna meet somebody new
I do not want to replace you with someone else

I'm not gonna start getting over you
I cannot move on from you

If you won't take me home I'll be alone, be alone
Unless we are together, I will be empty and alone

Cause you're the only one that's on my mind
You are the sole focus of my thoughts and desires

And other things are a waste of time
Anything else that does not involve you is unimportant and meaningless to me
