On My Own
Miley Cyrus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey! I ain't looking at you
For no particular reason
It doesn't inspire for me to be in
I gotta open that door
Hey, I gotta get it open hey
I'm breaking way through, just like the robber
And smile for the camera
Damn, I feel awesome!
But she doesn't know more
Gotta get it opened!

You never listen when I need someone to talk to
So you switch the subject
Cause, cause it's beyond you
When you talk about your dreams, I'm never included
I need to stop sleeping on myself
Wake up and do it on my own!
I found a way, yeah
And I'll do it on my one, hey!
I can do anything, yeah
And I'll do it on my own

Can't you get it done with the help of no one
I came to this word by myself
So I don't need nobody else!
We have just begun,
So much to do, so young
Don't be afraid of alone
You'll get it done on your own!
Uh, uh, uh!

I know you're in there
Open up, open up!
Just like the feds, looking for the stuff
Three knocks at the door
I gotta get it open!
I'm so confused with all the traffic
I'mma skip the line
Who cares what happens
I gotta stay on that course
I gotta get it open!

You never listen when I need someone to talk to
So you switch the subject
Cause, cause it's beyond you
When you talk about your dreams, I'm never included
I need to stop sleeping on myself
Wake up and do it on my own!
I found a way, yeah
And I'll do it on my own
I can do anything, yeah!
And I'll do it on my own!

Can't you get it done with the help of no one
I came to this word by myself
So I don't need nobody else!
We have just begun,
So much to do, so young
Don't be afraid of alone
You'll get it done on your own!

You never listen when I need someone to talk to
So you switch the subject
Cause, cause it's beyond you
When you talk about your dreams, I'm never included
I need to stop sleeping on myself
Wake up and do it on my own!
I found a way, yeah
And I'll do it on my own
I can do anything, yeah!
And I'll do it on my own!

Can't you get it done with the help of no one
I came to this word by myself
So I don't need nobody else!
We have just begun,
So much to do, so young
Don't be afraid of alone
You'll get it done on your own!

Overall Meaning

The song "On My Own" by Miley Cyrus features lyrics that are relatable to anyone who's been torn between love and the hypnotic power of music. It is about a person who's in a state of confusion trying to figure out whether the attraction they feel towards someone is genuine love or merely a result of the music's beat. Throughout the song, the singer acknowledges that the music has the power to control their actions and feelings on the dance floor with a partner, but they're not sure whether the feelings of lust and passion are real or not.


Miley compares the experience to art, acknowledging that sometimes it's hard to tell what is genuine and what isn't when it comes to matters of the heart. The lyrics are a testament to the power of music, and how it can evoke strong emotions and desires within us. The singer admits that they are unsure whether their connection to their dance partner is due to the music's hypnotic effect or if there really is something meaningful there.


Overall, the song is an exploration of love, attraction, and the blurry lines that blur between the two. It's about the way music can inspire and enhance feelings of love but also leave us questioning just what our true feelings actually are.


Line by Line Meaning

Creation shows me what to do
The world inspires me and gives me direction


I'm dancing on the floor with you
I'm with you, enjoying the moment and the music


And when you touch my hand, I go crazy, yeah
Your touch electrifies me and makes me feel alive


The music tells me what to feel
The rhythm and melody guide my emotions


I like you now, but is it real?
I'm not sure if my feelings are genuine or just a result of the music and the moment


By the time we say goodnight, I'll know if this is right
After spending more time with you, I'll be able to figure out if my feelings are true


And I feel you (you) coming through my veins
Your presence and energy are filling me up


Am I into you (you) or is it the music to blame?
I'm questioning whether my attraction to you is real or just a result of the music


Who owns my heart
I'm not sure who or what is responsible for my feelings


Is it love or is it art
I'm trying to distinguish between real emotion and the effects of the music and the atmosphere


Cause the way you got your body movin' got me confusin'
I'm confused because your dancing is making me feel things, but I'm not sure if it's genuine


And I can't tell if it's the beat or sparks
I'm not sure if my feelings are a result of the music or a real connection with you


You know I wanna believe that we're a masterpiece
I want to believe that this moment and our connection are something amazing


But sometimes it's hard to tell in the dark
It's difficult to differentiate between reality and the effects of the atmosphere and emotions


The room is full, but all I see is the way your eyes just blaze through me
Even though there are other people around, I only notice you because you're captivating


Like fire in the dark, we're like living art
Our energy and connection are like a work of art that comes alive


And it hits me like a tidal wave
I'm overwhelmed with emotion and sensation


Are you feeling me or is the music to blame
I'm questioning whether you feel a connection with me or if it's just the music influencing us both


So come on, baby, keep provoking me
I want you to continue to stimulate and provoke me emotionally and physically


Keep on roping me like a rodeo
I want you to keep me close and keep me feeling the intense emotions we're experiencing


And it hits me like a tidal wave
I'm still overwhelmed with emotion and sensation


Here we go, here we go, here we go
We're continuing to ride the emotional and musical wave of the moment
