Alone
Luis Eduardo Aute Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
without you putting everything and nothing upside
down: I'm managing this wreck quite well alone.
Maybe, if I must be sincere, I hear a little too much
silence when I hang around just looking at the mirror in
the bathroom talking to myself alone.
But I'm sure these empty nights will end as soon as I
begin to realize that freedom is a bird that flies
All alone in my loneliness,
alone in distress,
alone in unhappiness
alone in this mess,
alone, alone, alone...
How could I forget this aching head or heart, who
knows, this sort of pain like something fiercely torn out
from the ruins of my broken soul that makes me feel
alone.
I must get acquainted to that beb without you, it's going
to be so hard to keep on killing nightmares when the
nightly dream I need has gone and left me all alone.
Never mind, don't worry about me, thanks, and,
anyhow, it's nice to see you again; just call me any
night you feel alone, alone...
All alone in my loneliness,
alone in distress,
alone in unhappiness
you know my adress,
alone, alone, alone...
The song "Alone" by Luis Eduardo Aute is a melancholic ballad about the experience of being alone after a relationship has ended. The singer of the song is trying to convince himself that he is managing well on his own, but as the lyrics progress, it becomes clear that he is struggling with the emptiness and silence that come with being single. He acknowledges that the pain he feels is like something "fiercely torn out from the ruins of [his] broken soul," and that he needs to get used to the "bed without [her]." Despite this, he tells his former lover not to worry about him and invites her to call him if she is ever feeling alone, emphasizing the theme of loneliness that permeates the song.
Throughout the lyrics, Aute uses repetition to reinforce the idea of loneliness, repeating the word "alone" multiple times in each chorus. The imagery in the song is particularly potent, as the singer describes himself talking to himself in the mirror, and feeling like a bird flying alone. The use of the word "wreck" to describe his emotional state adds to the sense of despair that he is feeling.
Despite the sadness of the lyrics, there is a certain resilience in the song's message, as the singer tells himself that he will get through these empty nights and that freedom is something that he can achieve on his own. Ultimately, the song is about the struggle to come to terms with loss and learn to live on one's own, even when it feels impossible.
