Alone
Nosferatu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She has sound in her soul,
She writhes for her heart,
In a foreign land of confusion.
Way above the earth, way above the crowd, Way past you.
Somebody's inside, Body's alive, Body is blind to you.
And her siren red lights take the lonely ones,
And her siren red lights take the lonely ones
The song "Alone" by Nosferatu is a melancholic and introspective piece that speaks to the loneliness and confusion that can come with being in an unfamiliar place. The first stanza establishes the image of someone who has "sound in her soul", suggesting that she is deeply connected to her emotions and experiences in a way that is almost musical. However, she is also "writhing for her heart" in a "foreign land of confusion," indicating that she is struggling to find her place in the world and to reconcile her inner and outer selves.
The second stanza builds on this sense of isolation by describing someone who is "way above the earth" and "way above the crowd," suggesting that she is above or beyond the people and circumstances around her. However, at the same time, "somebody's inside" of her, alive but "blind" to those around her. This could be interpreted as a reference to the struggle between the internal and external selves, or as a reminder that even when we feel disconnected from the world, we are never truly alone.
The final lines of the song bring in the idea of love and its impact on our emotional states. The singer insists that "love is dead," suggesting that the object of the song's affection has been through a traumatic event that has left her feeling empty or desolate. The "siren red lights" are then described as taking "the lonely ones," implying that the singer sees himself/herself and the person they are singing about as outsiders or outcasts who are drawn to danger and darkness.
Overall, "Alone" is a song about loneliness and disconnection, as well as the power of love to both inspire and devastate us. Its use of vivid imagery and repeated motifs create a haunting and memorable piece that invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences of feeling alone in a crowded world.
Line by Line Meaning
Sound of her soul,
She has a unique and vibrant soul,
She has sound in her soul,
Her soul carries a distinctive and powerful sound,
She writhes for her heart,
She struggles and suffers for her emotional well-being,
In a foreign land of confusion.
Feeling lost and bewildered in an unfamiliar place or situation,
Way above the earth, way above the crowd, Way past you.
Being in a superior, elevated state of being, far beyond the reach of regular people,
Somebody's inside, Body's alive, Body is blind to you.
Despite being alive and present, this somebody is concealed and indifferent to your existence or actions,
Love is dead, I said her love is dead,
Expressing that love as an emotion or experience has ended or ceased to exist,
And her siren red lights take the lonely ones,
Her alluring and captivating presence attracts those who feel alone and isolated,
And her siren red lights take the lonely ones
Repeated to emphasize the effect of her bewitching aura,

Gravity
on Bombers
I see you are beautiful across the lives
and through your skin
I spy you are beautiful inside
Maybe you’re not meant to be
Sleeping alone dreaming so prettily
Waiting always waiting for tonight
To open your eyes for love in sorrow
Raising your hands like starts to follow
No one knows, no one sees
As I cut your throat
Let the river flow down so... slow
Today the sun sank quietly
Across your back and through your eyes
Drowning in your dilated stare
England’s dreaming land conceals
Our sliding bodies as i steal
Every honeysuckle scented breath
You open your eyes for love in sorrow
Raising your hands like stars to follow
No one knows and no one sees
As I cut your throat let the river flow
Down slow
All the time
Through your eyes
Breaking every life
Stopping every moment in time
But never saving your soul
Through your eyes
Breaking every moment
Stopping every movement inside
And never saving your soul
I see you are beautiful across the lives
and through your skin
I spy you are beautiful inside
With every hungry bite I take
Your frozen body shake shake shakes
Gasping for breath
Gasping for breath
So deliciously pale in your moment of death
You open your eyes for love in sorrow
Raising your hands like stars to follow
No one knows and
No one sees
As I cut your throat
Let the river flow...flow....flow...flow...flow...flow...flow...flow
