Not Alone
Josh Jacobson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All my my favorites stories happened right here on this pavement, pavemen
Got cuts around and trough my bones
You never answer your phone anymore
Got no one to talk to
Where the f*ck did my best friend go, go, go
Don't stop listen to the beat
I'm not alone, oh oh, oh oho
Hey you should know
I'm not alone, you should know (I'm not alone)
Living with hope and fears
And broken hearts
And still until you watch apart
But they never sit down, let it happen
And we never change love
I'm not alone
...
You burned through my chest
When you turned off the music,
You burned through my chest
When you turned off the music
Don't you know the best things go quiet
While abandoning the sunrise
All my favorite kiss are stolen
And the corners who still hasn't opened
Saw you bottom over in the breeze
Coming on I know it, hit me like a forest
In the heat, oh, oh, oh
Don't stop, listen to the beat
Come and drink another one down with me
I'm not alone, oh, oh, oh, oho
Hey you shoul know
I'm not alone, you should know
I'm not alone
...
Living with hope and fears
And broken hearts
And sit out till you watch apart
But the never said???
And they never came back
In Josh Jacobson's song Not Alone, the lyrics describe a feeling of loneliness and longing for a missing friend. The opening lines, "Don't you know the prettiest things rise up from sunset?" suggest that even beautiful moments can be accompanied by feelings of sadness and loneliness. The singer of the song then reflects on the memories they have on this pavement, including cuts and bruises, highlighting the pain they've endured.
The song then shifts to the feeling of isolation, with the singer lamenting the fact that their best friend "never answers [their] phone anymore" and wonders where they went. The chorus repeats "I'm not alone," a mantra perhaps intended to convince themselves of the statement. Ultimately, the song's subject understands that they must continue living with hope and fears, and broken hearts, even when feeling alone. The lyrics reveal a universal feeling of longing to be part of something and feel a sense of belonging while navigating the difficult moments in life.

very impressive work here. Fluid from beginning to end. Could have been just another video but you stayed away from the cliche and it felt real the entire time.

I am so fucking in love with this song. I'd love to sing something for you or with your music. I'm so serious. I typically sing rnb, rock, soul and I write and play guitar/piano but I've not tried diving into this genre. I recently discovered this type of music and I heard your song on Spotify. No joke, I've been playing it on repeat. love live love it
