Reelin' On Your Own
Crimson Sunday Lyrics

The lyrics to "Reelin' On Your Own" by Crimson Sunday convey a sense of inner struggle and vulnerability. The opening lines, "Well I die harder yeah I don't mind, see you lie deeper I could cry," suggest that the singer has experienced pain and hardship that has made them resilient and unbothered by the deceit and dishonesty of others. However, this does not mean they are completely unaffected, as indicated by the mention of tears.

The next verse introduces the idea that the person they are addressing is cruel or harsher than they would like to be themselves, acknowledging a disconnect between their own nature and that of the other person. The line "Walk alone in the prime of life, chew a bone if it cuts like a knife" portrays a strong individual who can endure challenging circumstances, even if it causes pain. The repetition of the phrase "just like a rolling stone" highlights the theme of independence and resilience in the face of difficulties.

As the song continues, the singer reveals their own emotions and acknowledges their vulnerability, stating "So I cry deeper yeah I don't mind, see you try diggin' a hole so deep." Here, they express their willingness to confront and deal with their emotions, contrasting with the other person who seems to be trying to bury their own feelings.

The final verse brings the song full circle, reaffirming the sense of being alone in the prime of life and feeling the sting of pain. The repetition of "just like a rollin' stone" emphasizes the ongoing struggle and resilience, while the phrase "reelin' on your own" suggests that the singer and the person they are addressing are both navigating their own paths, facing their individual challenges without depending on others.

Overall, "Reelin' On Your Own" explores themes of resilience, independence, and the ability to face hardships head-on while acknowledging vulnerability and the emotional toll of navigating through life's difficulties alone.
