We're All Alone
Newton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Outside the rain begins and it may never end
So cry no more on the shore
A dream will take us out to sea
Forever more forever more
Close your eyes and dream
And and you can be with me
'Neath the waves through the caves of hours
Long forgotten now
We're all alone
We're all alone

Close the window
Calm the light
And it will be alright
No need to bother now
Let it out
Let it all begin
Learn how to pretend

Once a story's told
It can't help but grow old
Roses do
Lovers too
So cast your seasons to the wind
And hold me dear
Oh, hold me dear

Close the window
Calm the light
And it will be alright
No need to bother now
Let it out
Let it all begin
All's forgotten now
We're all alone
oh-oh, we're all alone

Close the window
Calm the light
And it will be alright
No need to bother now
Let it out




Let it all begin
Owe it to the wind, my love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Newton's song "We're All Alone" paint a picture of a romantic, dream-like escape from reality. The song is serene, with Newton's soothing voice conveying a sense of calm to the listener. The opening lines reflect a sense of uncertainty, 'Outside the rain begins and it may never end', which is resolved by her assurance that 'A dream will take us out to sea, Forever more forever more'. This gives a sense that dream world is a safe haven where they can escape reality.


In the pre-chorus, Newton urges her audience to 'Close your eyes and dream', promising the listener they will be with her in the dream world ''Neath the waves through the caves of hours Long forgotten now'. The chorus, 'We're all alone, we're all alone', reinforces the idea of being together in isolation, as if their dream world is the only place where they can be themselves.


The second verse of the song shifts in tone, moving from a romantic escape to a grittier reality. Newton sings, 'Once the story's told, it can't help but grow old. Roses do, lovers too'. She's suggesting that the romantic dream world they created may fade over time, like everything else. The chorus of the song repeats, but this time it feels less like a safe haven and more as a forced reality. The song ultimately ends with the idea that there's no need to be afraid, to 'let it all begin, Owe it to the wind, my love.'


Overall, Newton's song "We're All Alone" is about allowing ourselves to escape from reality and come together in a romantic dream world with just our thoughts and the person we love. The song is a well-crafted narrative that evokes a veritable sense of peace and tension within the listener.

A versão de 1977 interpretada por Rita Coolidge (do álbum Anytime...Anywhere) marcou minha infância. Quando Newton lançou esta versão dançante... oras, quem diria que marcaria o início de minha vida profissional!!! Sensacional!!!
