Nobody but you
Go It Alone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Searching for a pillar of strength in a confusing world. Your eyes tell me all I need to know, you're reaching our for warmth in the cold. You could try to lose yourself in someone else, but even in a crowded room you'll always feel so alone. But there's beauty in these moments that we spent by ourselves even if it's hard to see sometimes, like a pretty face obscured behind a veil of tears. "I need" is such an ugly phrase when it falls from your lips in a stranger's voice like a whisper of defeat. I know it's hard to feel whole when you're broken inside so learn to wrap your arms around yourself, cradle your head, and dry your salt stained eyes. Because there's beauty in these moments that we spend by ourselves even if it's hard to see sometimes like a pretty face obscured behind a veil of tears. This is what I've learned: Don't search for solace in another's embrace. Everyone that we hold so dear gets lost in the static of the passing years. So , learn to be alone. Find comfort in the solitude. Harden your heart and build unbreakable will. It's the only way you'll ever survive this world.

The opening lines ask for a "pillar of strength," acknowledging the difficulties of trying to navigate through life's challenges alone. The singer is seeking warmth and comfort, but fears that even in the presence of other people they will still feel alone. Throughout the song, the theme is one of finding comfort in solitude and embracing the beauty in those moments when we spend time with ourselves. Even when it is difficult to see, the singer finds solace in the notion that there is a kind of beauty in the struggle and pain that life can bring.


The ultimate message of the song is to embrace the idea of being alone and to focus on building inner strength and resilience. This is a hard lesson to learn, but ultimately it is the only way to survive in a world that can be both chaotic and painful. The lyricist implores the listener to "harden your heart and build unbreakable will," recognizing that it is only by cultivating inner strength that one can truly thrive. The phrase "I need" is presented as an "ugly" phrase, suggesting that relying on others for comfort may ultimately be a form of weakness.
