I Alone
K's Choice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's easier not to be wise
And measure these things by your brains
I sank into Eden with you
Alone in the church by and by

I'll read to you here, save your eyes
You'll need them; your boat is at sea
Your anchor is up, you've been swept away
And the greatest of teachers won't hesitate
To leave you there, by yourself
Chained to fate

I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
Fear is not the end of this

I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you

It's easier not to be great
And measure these things by your eyes
We long to be here by his resolve
Alone in the church by and by
To cradle the baby in space
And leave you there by yourself
Chained to fate

I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
Fear is not the end of this

I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
Yeah

I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
Yeah

Oh, now, we took it back too far
Only love can save us now
All these riddles that you burn
All come runnin' back to you
All these rhythms that you hide
Only love can save us now
All these riddles that you burn
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
Fear is not the end of this

I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
Yeah

I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
Aaah

I alone love you




I alone tempt you
I alone love you

Overall Meaning

The song β€˜I Alone’ by K’s Choice is a stunning expression of vulnerability, love, and fear, where the singer is addressing their beloved. The song questions the concept of knowledge and wisdom and how we measure things in our lives. It is easier not to be wise and measure things by our brains because knowledge brings complications and a sense of responsibility. The singer talks about sinking into Eden with their partner and being alone in the church. It seems like the church is where they feel the most comfortable, where they can love and be themselves.


The singer is reading to their partner to save their eyes, and the partner has been swept away, and the greatest teachers won't hesitate to leave them alone. The singer acts as their only savior while the partner is chained to fate. The lines "I alone love you. I alone tempt you," have a strong impact on the song's overall message. The singer is talking about being the only one who loves and tempts the partner, and fear is not the end of this, as in, fear shouldn't be what holds them back from love.


Later in the song, the lyrics reveal that only love can save us now. The riddles and rhythms that we burn all come running back to us when the fear and illusions are lifted. The song is a beautiful message about the power of love and how we should embrace it without fear.
