Alone Again
L D R U Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you're in motion I don't notice myself moving in
To close the distance in an instant just to touch your skin
Catch myself before I let the waves come crashing in
Cos you're not mine but

Sometimes I wonder if you're suffering just like I am
I see the way you're looking, couldn't even comprehend
Maybe it's foolish, I can't ruin everything we have
I choke back reasoning and feelings 'til it makes me mad

You know my weaknesses, I'm seriously losing it
You're not mine, you're not mine
I can't pretend, got my defence up each and every time
Cos if I lose 'em, I might do something that isn't right

I know you know I know so why don't you cut to the chase
It's in your hands I've done all I can to meet you half way
You're everywhere until you disappear without a trace
But you're not mine so

I get hung up thinking 'bout all the things we could've had
And catch myself before I let the waves come crashing back
Maybe it's foolish, I can't ruin everything we have
I choke back reasoning and feelings 'til it makes me mad

You know my weaknesses, I'm seriously losing it
You're not mine, you're not mine
I can't pretend, got my defence up each and every time
Cos if I lose it, I might do something that isn't right

You got me falling for you
Know that I adore you
Maybe in another life
You got me falling for you
Know I'll always wanna
I'll always wanna call you mine

You got me falling for you
Know that I adore you
Maybe in another life
You got me falling for you
Know I'll always wanna
I'll always wanna make you mine

Do you know just what you do to me?

When you're in motion I don't notice myself moving in
Catch myself before I let the waves come crashing in
Sometimes I wonder if you're suffering just like I am
Maybe it's foolish, I can't ruin everything we have

You got me falling for you
Know that I adore you
Maybe in another life
You got me falling for you




Know I'll always wanna
I'll always want you to be mine

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of L D R U's song "Alone Again" convey a sense of longing and desire for someone who is not fully attainable. The singer is in motion, perhaps physically or emotionally, and doesn't realize or acknowledge their own movement towards this person. They feel a strong urge to be close to them, to touch their skin, but they hold themselves back from letting their emotions overwhelm them.


The singer wonders if the person they desire is also going through the same pain and longing, but they can't fully understand or comprehend the other person's emotions. They are torn between the fear of ruining their existing connection and the desperation to express their feelings. The singer knows their own weaknesses and realizes that they are losing control, constantly on the defensive to protect themselves from getting hurt. They fear that if they let their guard down, they might do something that goes against their values.


The singer pleads for the other person to be more direct and cut through the uncertainty. They have put in their best effort to meet the person halfway, but they constantly feel the other person's presence only to have them disappear without a trace. Despite knowing that the person doesn't belong to them, they can't help but get caught up in thoughts of what they could have had. They struggle with the idea of potentially jeopardizing their existing connection but are unable to suppress their emotions.


In the final part of the song, the singer confesses their deep feelings and adoration for this person. They acknowledge that in another life, they would want to make this person theirs. They are aware of the influence the person has on them and how they seem to be the center of their world.


Overall, "Alone Again" captures the bittersweet emotional struggle of desiring someone who is not fully available and the internal battle between pursuing those desires and protecting oneself.
