Not Alone
Dane Rumble feat. Jupiter Project Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could yell at the top of my lungs and nobody would hear a word
One in a million, still I'm on my own
And I′m tired of calling when nobody comes
And I'm falling to pieces and the cracks are showing
Think I'm running out of borrowed time
You may think you′re on your own
We'll stand as one, won′t let you go
Yeah, know you're not alone, hey
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa
Yeah, you may think you′re on your own
But know you're not alone
We′ll stand as one, won't let you go
Yeah, know you're not alone
Staying up for days at a time, just working hard to keep me afloat
And I′d been holding on so damn tight when I just needed to let go
One in a million, but I′m not alone
'Cause I′m starting to understand where I went wrong
And I'm feeling better than I′ve ever known
No more running from where I belong
You may think you're on your own
But know you′re not alone
We'll stand as one, won't let you go
Yeah, know you′re not alone, hey
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa
Yeah, you may think you′re on your own
But know you're not alone
We′ll stand as one, won't let you go
Yeah, know you′re not alone
I know that you may feel like people have let you down
This world is hard to conquer and harder to figure out, yeah
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa
Know you're not alone
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa
Know you′re not alone
You may think you're on your own
But know you're not alone
We′ll stand as one, won′t let you go
Yeah, know you're not alone, hey
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa
Know you′re not alone
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa
Know you're not alone
The lyrics of Dane Rumble and Jupiter Project's song "Not Alone" are about feeling isolated and alone in the world. The singer describes how they feel like they're the last person on earth and that nobody would hear them even if they yelled at the top of their lungs. They feel like they're one in a million and always on their own, tired of calling out for help with nobody coming to their aid. They are falling apart, with the cracks beginning to show as they think they're running out of borrowed time.
Despite this, the message is ultimately one of hope and solidarity. The chorus repeats that, despite how you might feel, you are not alone. The singer assures the listener that they will stand together and won't let them go. They acknowledge that the world can be hard to conquer and difficult to figure out, but there is strength in unity.
The verses offer personal anecdotes from the singer's life. They describe the struggle to keep going, staying up for days at a time just to keep afloat. They speak of holding on too tightly to things that were hurting them and feeling like they were on their own, but slowly coming to understand where they went wrong. The song ultimately ends on a positive note, with the message that things can get better and that there are people out there who care.
