You are not alone
Mission Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I…
I used to think
that my life…
had to mean some-thing
but it turned? out…
I had to find out the hard way
create my own meaning
You are not alone… inside
You are not alone… tonight
tonight
Could you let it go, inside?
Could you let it go, …?
Tonight.
I
I used to think
That I had to know
Every, Thing and Every one
But it turned out
that I had to start
knowing, … start feeling?
You are not alone, inside
You are not alone, tonight
Tonight
Could you let it go, inside
Could you let it go,

tonight
You’re not alone, Inside,




You’re not alone, tonight,
Could you let it go.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mission's song You Are Not Alone explore the profound idea of finding and creating meaning in one's own life. The singer reveals that they used to believe that life must inherently have a specific purpose to it, but they have come to realize that finding that meaning can often be difficult and it may require one to create their own path. The song is particularly poignant in how it emphasizes the feeling of loneliness and isolation that accompanies this process. The singer encourages the listener to let go of any fears and doubts and embrace the journey of discovering one's sense of purpose.


The repetition of the lines, "You are not alone...inside/tonight" is significant as it highlights the importance of the inner journey of self-discovery. The use of the word "tonight" adds a sense of urgency and reminds the listener that the time to explore and find meaning is now. The repetition of the verse, "Could you let it go, inside?" underscores the idea that letting go of one's preconceived notions of meaning and purpose is key to finding one's internal sense of direction.

@ellocox

Completamente equivocado, hay como 5 o 6 canciones con el nombre "You´re not alone" que la de Michael sea la mas famosa no hay duda, sin embargo efectivamente el grupo que canta esta cancion es Mission LA CUAL ES UN COVER de Olive con la cancion de mismo nombre, es solo que en estas compilaciones era mas barato pagar a un grupo para que haga el cover que... ¿supongo hacer un remix de la misma? es por eso que los grupos nunca son iguales o no las cantan los "autores" originales

@ranasutra

a ver yo les voy a dar un poco de informacion...este es solo un remix, la cancion original es de OLIVE aun asi esta version es muy buena

@davidlo6264

Damm how many memories with this song I'm sure you will agree with me on this right ? Laura

@Canito188

Oye amigo, creo que esta cancion no es de Mission. Si no de O.L.F La cancion You Are Not Alone (Remix de la de Michael Jackson) si es de Mission. Si puedo hare un video y la subire. Ojo, no he encontrado informacion sobre la cancion en ningun sitio, pero mirando vinilos y recordando yo baje la que te comento. Y he visto que la que Ud tiene es de O.L.F no de Mission. Un saludo.

@HostiaRecords

Pos este tema lo saque directamente el disco "Megadance '98" y asi viene en el listado, a que yo sepa no tiene nada que ver con el tema de Michael Jackson, actualize con un enlace a la info del disco de Megadance 98 en la descripcion, ademas Youtube me puso que efectivamente si es Mission UK
