Home Alone
Mr.White Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turns on when you wander through my door
And your friends won't see you to the end, I'm sure
But you love them anyhow
Lost feelings of love
Lost feelings of love
That hover above me
Lost feelings of love
That hover above me
The ghost that visit me the most, drop by
Cause they know they can find me here
And they claim to be held from me in chains, but come on
They're guilty as sin my dear
I'm becoming a ghost
Becoming a ghost
So nobody can know me
I'm becoming a ghost
Becoming a ghost
So nobody can know me
These stones that are thrown against my bones, break through
But they hurt less as times goes on
And though alone, I build my own home, to be sure
That nobody can touch me now
Yeah
All alone in my home
Alone in my home
Nobody can touch me
All alone in my home
Alone in my home
Nobody can touch me
The lyrics to Mr. White's song "Home Alone" touch on the themes of love, isolation, and self-preservation. In the first verse, the singer describes how the presence of a loved one brings a light into their life, but acknowledges that this love may not be everlasting as the friends of the loved one may not stick around. The chorus, "Lost feelings of love, that hover above me", suggests that the singer is grappling with feelings of loneliness and heartbreak even with their loved one in their life.
The second verse of the song speaks to the metaphorical ghosts that visit the singer, guilt-ridden and chained, but the singer sees through their façade, recognizing that they are not truly here to haunt him. The chorus shifts to "I'm becoming a ghost, so nobody can know me", indicating that the singer is putting up walls to protect themselves from future heartbreak and feeling disconnected from the world around them. The final verse speaks to the singer's resilience and ability to cope with pain and loneliness, "All alone in my home, nobody can touch me now."
Overall, "Home Alone" is a poignant expression of the struggles that come with relationships and the fear of being vulnerable, yet finding a way to navigate those feelings of isolation and protect oneself.

This light that shines on me tonight
The feeling of love that has brought me happiness tonight
Turns on when you wander through my door
It's only when you're with me that I feel this way
And your friends won't see you to the end, I'm sure
You won't be with your friends forever but it's okay
But you love them anyhow
You love them even though they won't stay
Lost feelings of love
A love that I once had but have lost
That hover above me
A persistent feeling of longing for love
The ghost that visit me the most, drop by
The memories of the love I've lost haunt me
Cause they know they can find me here
These memories always come back to me
And they claim to be held from me in chains, but come on
These memories seem like they're out of my control
They're guilty as sin my dear
But I know that I am the one holding onto them
I'm becoming a ghost
I am withdrawing from people and the world
Becoming a ghost
Becoming more and more isolated
So nobody can know me
So no one can hurt me again
These stones that are thrown against my bones, break through
These hurtful experiences have impacted me deeply
But they hurt less as times goes on
With time, I am learning to move on and heal
And though alone, I build my own home, to be sure
I am creating a safe place for myself, even if I'm alone
That nobody can touch me now
A place where I am in control and can't be hurt by anyone else
All alone in my home
Living a life of isolation and self-protection
Nobody can touch me
No one can harm me or break my heart again

"Don't gimme dat; you've been smooching with everybody! Snuffy, Al, Leo, Little Moe with the gimpy leg, Cheeks, Boney Bob, Cliff... I can go on foreva, baby!"
with a weird look on his face "I really don't know what you're talking about, sir! I'm just here to deliver the pizza you ordered!"
"Alright. I believe ya... but my TOMMY GUN DON'T!!!"
eyes get big
"Get down on ya knees, and tell me ya love me."
moving in a scared manner "Okay, sir. On my knees, pizza's by the door..." sighs in disbelief "I love you, sir."
Kevin laughs to himself
"Ya gotta do betta dan dat!"
"I really, really love you, sir."
"Maybe I'm off my hinges, but I believe ya. That's why I'm gonna let you go. I'm gonna give ya to the count of three to getcha lousy, lyin', four-fleshin' carcus out my door!!"

fires machine gun
"And a Happy New Yeah."
gunshot
"THAT'S IT!!!! THAT IS THE LAST STRAW!!! Starting tomorrow, I am NOT delivering pizzas anymore!!"
@thebakeosaurusrex8361
The way he denies “smooching with my brother” just makes it looks like he actually did which makes it much funnier for me
@robertdubs9466
Well, don't forget he did have that seemingly embarrassing encounter with what he thought was Kevin's father singing 'Cool Jerk' in the shower and then threatening him with a slapping, the previous evening. He probably thinks Johnny is the brother of Kevin's father, and is referring to that.
@TMNation
Even funnier was when he said you’ve been kissing Cliff and Cliff is bewildered 😂💀💀
@80sDude990
It’s incredible how the hotel room events of the consecutive days link to each other. Rather convenient how the room Kevin was in had a partition wall, enabling him to trick the concierge with the clown dancing behind the shower curtain to Cool Jerk and with Uncle Frank’s recorded voice on his first night, then he was able to trick the same man, Cedric, the desk clerk, Cliff and the security guard with thinking that Johnny was talking to them partly about what had happened the previous day, up until carrying out his threat to open fire.
@matthewcardoza1190
@@robertdubs9466 the song is actually “Cougar;” that’s why it has the verses “cool cat” and “heaviest cat”.
But other than that, nice job!
