Left Alone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walked these streets and I'm
Wasting time because I want to go home
I know the feeling and satisfactions
Every day all this gets so old
Well I've been living and I've been sinning
Wasted my days and wasted all my nights
When I'm just trying to find a place to hide
It's a waste of time

Line by Line Meaning
4 weeks that I
I have been walking on these streets for four weeks now
Walked these streets and I'm
I have been roaming around aimlessly on these streets
Wasting time because I want to go home
I am wasting my time because I want to go back to my comfort zone, my home
I know the feeling and satisfactions
I understand the emotions and contentment associated with certain things
Every day all this gets so old
I feel like doing the same thing every day is becoming monotonous
Well I've been living and I've been sinning
I have been existing but also indulging in immoral activities
Wasted my days and wasted all my nights
I have spent my days and nights in vain
Every day it feels like it's getting harder
Every day feels like a challenge and things are not getting easier
When I'm just trying to find a place to hide
I am simply trying to find a safe haven from the struggles of life
