On My Own
Mission Jupiter Lyrics

How to cope with nightmare dreams
The song begins by questioning how to deal with the nightmares and fears that plague the mind.

What if they save us from bad destiny
The idea is entertained that perhaps these nightmares serve a greater purpose in saving us from an undesirable fate.

Have I thought that this is true
The singer wonders if this alternate perspective is a valid possibility.

Or I had to think of you
The singer ponders if this new perspective requires the presence of a specific person to come to fruition.

And when you first came here
A transition in the thought process occurs as the singer recalls the beginning of a relationship.

I was sure you'd been here
The singer feels a sense of familiarity and comfort in the presence of this person.

There's no shelter from this fear
Despite the comfort of the relationship, the fear still exists.

But I'm ready to resist
Despite the fear, the singer is prepared to overcome it.

Come and embrace me
The singer reaches out to the other person for comfort.

Don't be reserved and faceless
The singer implores the other person to show emotion and not be distant.

I believe that you won't leave
The singer expresses trust and faith in the relationship with the other person.

We are victims of occasion
The singer acknowledges the presence of outside forces that influence their lives.

We can't run away from destination
Despite these forces, the singer understands that fate cannot be avoided.

What I need is far and near
The singer desires both emotional closeness and physical distance.

No more complaints
The singer decides to stop complaining about their circumstances.

Again
The cycle of negative thoughts and emotions is repetitive and ongoing.

They come to crush the world
The outside forces are seen as destructive and overwhelming.

I live in
The negative influence of these forces is a constant presence in the singer's life.

I never thought that fatal loss
The singer reflects on a past loss with shock and disbelief.

Could lead to endless tragedy
The impact of this loss is still felt and the consequences are severe.

I was close to you, you left me
The singer laments the loss of the relationship.

And you'll never let me know
The lack of closure or explanation from the other person adds to the singer's pain.

Was it really nothing at all
The singer wonders if the relationship meant anything to the other person.

But the sweetest dream passed near
Despite the loss, the singer remembers the happiness of the relationship.

These wounds will never be healed
The pain and scars of the loss will remain.

I'm running mad
The emotional turmoil is overwhelming and causes the singer to feel out of control.

I'm afraid of standing this world
The singer is fearful of facing the world and its challenges alone.

But I have to be on my own
Despite the fear, the singer recognizes the need to be independent and self-sufficient.

I'm scared to be faded
The singer fears losing themselves or their identity in the struggles of life.

Come and embrace me
The hope for comfort and support from another person is repeated.

Don't be reserved and faceless
The request for emotional openness is repeated.

I believe that you won't leave
The trust in the relationship is repeated.

We are victims of occasion
The presence of outside forces is repeated.

We can't run away from destination
The inevitability of fate is repeated.

What I need is far and near
The desire for both emotional closeness and physical distance is repeated.
