Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will hold all the lights on you,
We give ourselves a shining start,
All alone,
All alone.
And all the roses turn to black,
And my heart is as cold as stone,
We give ourselves a shining start,
All alone.
And though the trouble's in the dark,
I will hold all the lights on you,
We give ourselves a shining start,
All alone,
All alone.

Line by Line Meaning
And though the trouble's in the dark,
Despite the difficulties being hidden, unseen, and difficult to navigate through,
I will hold all the lights on you,
I will guide and support you, making sure you are not alone,
We give ourselves a shining start,
We are taking control of our lives and beginning anew,
All alone,
Despite this new beginning, we still feel isolated and lonely,
All alone.
This loneliness still persists, even as we strive for personal growth and change.
And all the roses turn to black,
What was once beautiful and vibrant in our lives has become lifeless and dreary,
And my heart is as cold as stone,
My emotions have become detached and uncaring, almost empty,
We give ourselves a shining start,
Despite this emotional numbness, we still recognize the need for positive change,
All alone,
Even as we pursue this change, we still struggle with feelings of loneliness and isolation.
All alone.
These feelings of loneliness continue to persist, despite our efforts to move forward.

It’s the year 2021 and I just heard this song on the show Start Up episode 7. I replayed it 4 times and found it with Shazam. This is such an amazing, relaxing, and soothing song.
