On My Own
Nevve Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Soaked in technicolor rain
Time is melting in my brain
Paint the roses black as night
Swimming with the satellites
Never wanna know, never wanna let go
No, don't wake me yet, don't give it awayHold my breath, I just wanna stay and
Lose myself tonight
I'm drifting away through the flashing lights
I just wanna stay out here alone, I can dance on my own, oh
I can't wait no more, I'm drifting away
What you waiting for?
I just wanna stay out here alone, we can dance on our own, oh
Take me where the stars run free
Spin me through the galaxy
Hold me in the flow, never wanna let go
No, don't wake me yet, don't give it away
Hold my breath, I just wanna stay and see what's next
Meet me halfway, hold our breath
And lose myself tonight
I'm drifting away through the flashing lights
I just wanna stay out here alone, I can dance on my own, oh
Yeah, I can't wait no more, I'm drifting away
What you waiting for?
I just wanna stay out here alone, we can dance on our own, oh
Give me just one reason why we can't believe our eyes (give me just one reason why)
Running with the season 'til it makes us realize we (running with the season 'til)Got it all, we got it all for us
I can't wait to see the sun arriving with the rain (I can't wait to see the sun)
Take my hand, we're diving into passionate terrain (take my hand, we're diving into)
Got it all, we got it all for us, oh, ooh
Lose myself tonight (lose myself)
I'm drifting away through the flashing lights
I just wanna stay out here alone, I can dance on my own, oh
I can't wait no more (wait no more), I'm drifting away
What you waiting for?
I just wanna stay out here alone, we can dance on our own, oh
The lyrics of Nevve's song "On My Own" depict a sense of liberation and escapism. The opening lines, "Dancing through a hurricane, soaked in technicolor rain," suggest that the singer is embracing chaos and unpredictability, finding beauty in the midst of it. The mention of time melting in their brain implies a detachment from reality, where the boundaries between past, present, and future blur together. Painting the roses black as night reinforces a desire to challenge societal norms and expectations.
The chorus reveals the singer's longing for solitude and self-expression. They express a desire to lose themselves in the moment, drifting away through flashing lights. This highlights their need to detach from external influences and fully embrace their own individuality. The repetition of "I just wanna stay out here alone, I can dance on my own" emphasizes their desire for independence and self-reliance.
The second verse maintains the theme of escapism but introduces the idea of finding a connection with someone else who shares a similar desire for freedom. The mention of being held in the flow and never wanting to let go represents a deep connection and understanding between two individuals who are both seeking liberation.
