You're Not Alone
Erutan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Endless labyrinths weaving though
Will you stagger on,
with no star to light your way?
Share with me your tears
All your troubles and deepest fears
I remember when
you chased all my shadows away
Won't you take my hand?
Come away with me from this land
Let me give to you
all that you have given to me
Fly horizon bound
Find the moon behind darkening clouds
Even far apart,
know our souls together will be
When the storm draws nigh
Dreams will shatter before your eyes
Know that you're not alone
When the battle starts
I will comfort your restless heart
You'll know that you are home
When your stars stop shining
Endless vines around you winding
Know that you're not alone
I will give my all
So your tears will no longer fall
Down, down on sorrow's stone
Look into my eyes
All eternity you will find
In this fragile heart,
know that you will always belong
Shout into the night
Show the darkness that you will fight
Hopeless you may feel,
but inside I know you are strong
Keep me in your heart
So we'll never be far apart
Let the bonds of love
break these chains imprisoning you
Always you will find
Shadows lingering close behind
Lift your spirits now,
We shall be together soon
Erutan's song You're Not Alone is a beautiful melody that is empowering and comforting at the same time. The song tells a story of a person who is lost and going through difficult times in their life. The opening lyrics, "Lost in darkest blue, endless labyrinths weaving through," create a vivid image of the person's state of mind. They are struggling and surrounded by darkness, unsure of which direction to take.
The artist then offers a helping hand, saying "Won't you take my hand? Come away with me from this land, let me give to you all that you have given me." This is a beautiful sentiment, as the person offering their help is thanking the other person for being there for them in their own times of need. The song reminds us that in our darkest hour, we are not alone, and that there are people who care and are willing to help.
The song also makes reference to the fact that even when we are physically far from those we love, our souls can still be together. This is a comforting thought for anyone who has friends or family members who live far away or are unable to be physically close for some reason. The ultimate message of the song is that love can conquer all, and that even in the hardest times, we can find hope and strength in the love we share with others.

So, this feels a little too perfect to have been an accident, so I have to know. See, I just noticed that each stanza of this song (not including the chorus reprise) corresponds to each character's development arc in the order that the characters show up in that scene.
Lost in darkest blue
Endless labyrinths weaving though
Will you stagger on,
with
no star to light your way? - Eiko, who's character arc involved
learning that she did not, in fact, have to figure out her way through
life completely alone.
Share with me your tears
All your troubles and deepest fears
I remember when
you
chased all my shadows away - Vivi, who learned that he was a tool made
for war, and had a shelf life, and had to overcome that aspect of his
nature and choose the goodness inside of him.
Won't you take my hand?
Come away with me from this land
Let me give to you
all
that you have given to me - Amarant, who had to overcome his ingrained
belief that he could only rely on himself, and there was never any
benefit to friendship
Fly horizon bound
Find the moon behind darkening clouds
Even far apart,
know
our souls together will be - Freya, who also had closed herself off
from love and friendship, but because she had lost someone close to her
and feared it ever happening again.
Look into my eyes
All eternity you will find
In this fragile heart,
know
that you will always belong - Quina, who's character arc involved
discovering that it could care about something, anything, other than
food.
Shout into the night
Show the darkness that you will fight
Hopeless you may feel,
but
inside I know you are strong - Steiner, who constantly struggled with
his knighthood and whether or not it was even worth it to defend his
princess/queen and his land with his life.
Keep me in your heart
So we'll never be far apart
Let the bonds of love
break these chains imprisoning you - Garnet, and duh.
Always you will find
Shadows lingering close behind
Lift your spirits now,
We shall be together soon - and then the group as a whole.

This Video opened all the sudden,
by mistake (donno how it happened), but...
I then felt the presence of a loved-one, I knew he was here and I started crying uncontrollably... I don't know why!
This was so weird, I already loved this some before but now I love it even more so!!! ❤🎉💕
Thank You!
I have always loved this song and the fact that this happened, this song is even more special to me now.
@Xymael
14 years later and haven't found another version/rendition that even comes close. You perfectly capture the emotion of the original and bring it to a whole new level. If there's ever a remake of 9 this definitely deserves to be added
@mikoto7693
I still regularly come back to this one. As the partner of a pilot and one who played FF9 as a kid this theme speaks to me.
@ShinagawaLily
@@mikoto7693Same for me. ❤
@dawnrigel4255
It eradicated me when I read the 14 years ago tag on the video
@DonaldD02
How about this song with this remake? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaMiPb6KiWo
Square Enix already ruined it, copyright, will never happen.
I don't get the issue, its a 23 year old game, which they'll never do anything with. You'd think they'd be happy someone liked it enough to remake it themselves.
They did the same thing to a Chrono Trigger Remake a few years ago. Chrono Trigger Resurrection, I think was the name, even had a demo.

10 years later, still the most beautiful rendition of this soundtrack. Clever and skillful writing, perfect instrument choice and performance.
@bonfingertip

@smashmaster13
