Alone
Jack The Envious Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It′s been so long, since I've come out of these four walls
I lost direction as my innocence began to fade
An in the end I got betrayed by both ideas
So now I′m searching for an answer
How to stay when every whisper pleads I go
As I'm escaping more disasters
Are we alone? Are we alone?
Where′s our place in life, when we don′t fit with anyone?
And who's to blame if we decide to rid ourselves
From every sentiment that brought us to our knees?
Sometimes it′s hard to be content with what they take me for
But if I don't speak out then no one would agree
(Don′t speak out no one would agree)
Are we alone? Are we alone?
Where's our place in life when we don′t fit with anyone?
Are we alone? Are we alone?
Will anything make sense again, when all is said and done?
Can somebody hear me? Can somebody hear me?
Can somebody hear me? Can somebody hear me?
I'll start by saying "sorry how I lost my faith in where I'm from"
It′s not an easy notion to fall into...
But on the other end, I′m still a visitor in stranger lands
Who's grasping for a chance to just fit in
I tried so hard to build a home from my ideals
But nothing comes close to the voice of reason in my veins
The choice resides in us you see, the failures of democracy
Who burned a bridge to build one of their own
Are we alone? Are we...
′Cause I've been told that for this sickness there′s no remedy
Are we alone? Are we alone?
Where's our place in life when we don′t fit with anyone?
Are we alone? Are we alone?
Will anything make sense again, when all is said and done?
Will anything make sense again, when all is said and done?
Will anything make sense for me and you again...
The song "Alone" by Jack The Envious highlights the feeling of isolation and detachment that one can have when they do not belong to a particular group or community. The lyrics show the struggle of the singer, who is torn between two conflicting ideas, and has lost their sense of direction. The lyrics also depict the fear of being misunderstood and the need for someone to listen to them.
The lines "Stuck between a stranger and a renegade" suggest that the singer is stuck between two contrasting ideas or communities that are in conflict with each other. They feel alone and do not belong to either side, leading to a sense of isolation. The lyrics "I lost direction as my innocence began to fade and in the end, I got betrayed by both ideas" indicate that the confusion and indecisiveness of the singer led to a betrayal of their ideas.
The lyrics "As I'm escaping more disasters, waiting for a voice to tell me that I'm wrong" suggest that the singer is trying to find their way amidst the chaos but is struggling to get validation or support from anyone. The lines "But if I don't speak out, then no one would agree" suggest that the singer's need for validation is so strong that they would rather speak out and be heard than be right.
Overall, the song "Alone" is a poignant reminder of the importance of belongingness and validation, and how isolation and detachment can be detrimental to one's mental health.
