Left Alone
Flume Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is the sound beating of my loves
This is the sound beating of my loves
This is the sound beating of my loves
This is the sound beating of my loves
This is the sound beating of my loves
Good down, I'm for long
Good down, that's alright
All I want is to be left alone
Left alone, left alone, left alone
Left alone, left alone, left alone
Left alone, left alone, left alone
Left alone,
Cannot swallow blue found vow
More than that my sleep is wild
All I need is suffering bones
Breathe in sorrow
Gonna watch you fake it now
Will I freak can I calm down
And I take it all at a loss
Breathe in sorrow
Gonna watch you fake it now
Will I freak can I calm down
And I take it all at a loss
Breathe out sorrow
Gonna find them peace in loss
Holding by the knees and vow
I can always feel this proud
Breathe out sorrow
Oh I tell you something more
What my brain is bleeding for
And it hurts my darling, but breathe out sorrow
Gonna find them peace in loss
Holding by the knees and vow
I can't always feel this proud
Breathe out sorrow
Oh, I tell you something more
What my brain is bleeding for
And it hurts my darling, but breathe out sorrow
The lyrics of "Left Alone" by Flume are a mix of emotions, including love, loneliness, suffering, pride, and loss. The repetition of "This is the sound beating of my loves" at the beginning of the song may indicate the singer's intense emotion and passion in a relationship. However, as the song progresses, it becomes apparent that the relationship has ended, and the singer yearns to be left alone.
The second verse suggests the singer is struggling to cope with the breakup while trying to maintain a facade of calmness. The lines "Cannot swallow blue found vow / More than that my sleep is wild / All I need is suffering bones / Breathe in sorrow" may indicate that the singer is struggling with depression and is trying to put up a front. Meanwhile, the chorus emphasizes that the singer desperately wants to be left alone despite the pain and suffering they feel.
In the third verse, the singer seems to have come to terms with their situation, finding peace in their loss despite the pain. They realize their own strength and pride and vow to keep going despite the heartache. The final lines "And it hurts my darling, but breathe out sorrow" encourage the singer to release their emotions and let go of their pain.
