Alone Again
James And The Cold Gun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want you to know
That you did well to find me home
Who's gonna stop me now?
Too late to slow it down
For all you know I'm worth your weight in gold
But here I am
I drink you down
My medicine
Before it gets too hard
I need you to know
It's cool if you despise me
So fake out or else you might fall
It always gets hard
When feelings are involved
I crawl back into that hole
And here I am
Alone again
I'll drink you down
My medicine
Losing sight of the shape I'm in
C-c-c calling back at 6 AM
You're a new kind of science, I'm taking you in
You in, you in, you win
The lyrics of James And The Cold Gun's song "Alone Again" convey a feeling of isolation and dependence on alcohol to numb the pain of loneliness. The first verse expresses a desire for the listener to understand that the singer is worth their weight in gold and it's too late to stop their self-destructive behavior. The second verse reveals the singer's insecurity and need for validation while acknowledging that their actions may cause others to despise them. In the chorus, they repeat the phrase "alone again" and liken drinking to a form of medicine, indicating that the alcohol is a coping mechanism for their loneliness. The final verse seems to be a reference to a late-night phone call, further emphasizing the theme of loneliness and desperation.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of sadness and the emptiness that can come with isolation. The lyrics suggest that the singer is losing sight of who they are and that they are becoming increasingly reliant on alcohol to numb the pain of loneliness. The repetition of the phrase "alone again" throughout the song stresses the loneliness that the singer is feeling, despite whatever external validation they may receive.
