All By Myself
Gina Glocksen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
Nobody's home
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And loves so distant and obscure
Remains the cure
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All by myself
Anymore
When I was young
I never needed anyone
Making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
Oh
Don't wanna live
By myself, by myself
Anymore
By myself
Anymore
Oh
All by myself
Don't wanna live
I never, never, never
Needed anyone
The lyrics of "All by Myself" by Celine Dion, written by Eric Carmen and Sergei Rachmaninoff, convey feelings of loneliness and isolation. In the beginning, the singer highlights her independent nature, having never needed anyone when she was younger. However, these lyrics highlight a sense of sorrow, as she reflects on the fact that those days are gone and she is now living alone. When she tries to reach out to friends, nobody is available, emphasizing the feeling of being isolated and alone.
The chorus further highlights these emotions, with the repeated refrain of "All by myself, don't wanna be all by myself anymore." The singer acknowledges that it is hard to be sure of oneself and that love feels distant and obscure. Nevertheless, the cure to these feelings is not to be alone, and she does not wish to live that way anymore. The repetition of the phrase "don't wanna be all by myself" emphasizes the longing for human connection and the desire for social interaction.

When I was young
Back when I was a child
I never needed anyone
I was independent and never had to rely on someone else for anything
And making love was just for fun
Having sex was just something I did for enjoyment
Those days are gone
That time in my life has passed
Livin' alone
Being by myself on a daily basis
I think of all the friends I've known
I reflect on all the people I've met and been close with
When I dial the telephone
When I try to call someone
Nobody's home
No one is there to pick up the phone
All by myself
I am completely alone and unsupported
Don't wanna be
I don't want to remain in this state
Anymore
I want something different now
Hard to be sure
It's difficult to feel confident about anything
Sometimes I feel so insecure
I often lack self-assurance
And loves so distant and obscure
Finding love seems impossible or hopeless
Remains the cure
Yet love is still the solution
Don't wanna live
I don't want to exist
Oh
An expression of emotion
By myself, by myself
All alone, with no one else
I never, never, never
At no point in time
Needed anyone
Did I require another person to help or support me
