All by Myself
Julie Zenatti 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
When I dial the telephone
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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Julie Zenatti's "All by myself" express a sense of loneliness and isolation that comes from growing older and feeling disconnected from the people around you. The opening lines set the stage for the song, as the singer reminisces about a time when they were young and free, and didn't need anyone else in their life. However, as they have grown older, they find themselves alone and longing for the company of others. The line "making love was just for fun" suggests that the singer may have enjoyed casual relationships in their youth, but now finds themselves searching for something more meaningful and lasting.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "all by myself" four times, emphasizing the sense of isolation and loneliness that the singer is experiencing. They desperately want to break free from this feeling and connect with someone, but the people they try to reach out to are not available. The second verse further explores this sense of isolation, with the singer expressing feelings of insecurity and distance from love. Despite the pain that these feelings cause, the singer recognizes that love is still the answer, the "cure" to their loneliness.


Overall, "All by myself" is a haunting and poignant song about the universal human experience of feeling disconnected and isolated. With its memorable melody and powerful lyrics, it has become a beloved classic for generations of music fans.

When I was young
Back in my younger days


I never needed anyone
I never relied on anyone for emotional support


And making love was just for fun
Sex was purely for enjoyment


Those days are gone
That time period has ended


Livin' alone
Existing without a romantic partner


I think of all the friends I've known
I reflect on my past friendships


When I dial the telephone
When I attempt to call someone


Nobody's home
No one picks up the phone


All by myself
I am alone


Don't wanna be
I desire companionship


Anymore
Not now that I'm older and crave a connection


Hard to be sure
Uncertain about what the future holds


Sometimes I feel so insecure
There are moments when I lack confidence


And love's so distant and obscure
Finding love seems difficult and unlikely


Remains the cure
Love can heal those insecurities


Don't wanna live
I do not wish to exist


Oh
Interjection expressing emotion


Never, never, never
An emphatic statement


Needed anyone
I denied ever needing someone in the past, but I realize now that I do
