Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tryna find, find the right time
Walk alone, red line
Tryna find, find the right time
Let me eat all these lies up
Let me hide, let me hide them
Let me eat all these lies up
Okay, walking alone next to the red line (yeah)
Tryna find, find the right time, yeah
Walk alone, I'm in the red line, yeah (yeah)
Tryna find, find the right time, yeah
Rrah, rrah, wanted to rise up
Let me hide them, let me hide them
I'ma check twice before you die, yeah
Let me hide them, let me hide them
Rrah, rrah, wanted to rise up
Let me hide them, let me hide them
I'ma check twice before you die, yeah
Let me hide them, let me hide them
They don't want the truth,
'cause a lie never felt so good, babe
Been a while away
Been so long keeping on
Makin' the same old mistakes
If you give me bad news
Do you wish for self-control? Well
Been a while away (away)
Face to face, everything changes
Tell me what you have to say (everything, everything)
Okay, walking alone next to the red line
Tryna find, find the right time, yeah
Walk alone, I'm in the red line, yeah
Tryna find, find the right time, yeah

How the fuck you get in my mind? (Get out, you bitch)
Started with just a fuck, how you still in my life? (I hate my life, you bitch)
Normally they couldn't keep up, but you're still by my side (get right, you bitch)
Maybe in the middle of the night, you're gonna take my life (my life)
You're gonna take my life
You told me I, I like it when you're by my side
Give me that knife, put it in my heart for me, baby
Just wait for the night, I like
I like it when you twist it inside
Give me that knife, put it in my heart for me, baby
Just wait for the night
And I said, baby
You're kind of love too crazy
I said, baby (baby)
The demons in you, don't faze me
So we can fight all night, we can fight all night
I ain't you, you can't get in my mind
I do not switch sides, yeah
Hate comes with bein' a man anywhere
I will kill it, know their eyes, I can feel it
Don't choke it or the man fear
Like, like, like, we need to zen inside
Put it in my, put it in my heart for me, baby
Just wait for the night, I like
I like when you twist it inside
Put it in my, put it in my heart for me, baby
Just wait for the night, I said, baby
Your kind of love too crazy
I said, baby
The demons in you don't faze me
The song "Walking Alone" by Octavian is about feeling lost and trying to find the right path in life. The "red line" may symbolize a dangerous path or situation that the singer is trying to avoid. They are looking for the right time to make a move and find their way out of a difficult situation, but also find themselves consuming lies and hiding from the truth. The "rrah, rrah" sounds in the chorus may represent a gun loading, hinting at the danger and violence in the situation.
The second verse introduces a romantic relationship that is toxic and potentially deadly. The singer confesses that they are unable to escape the pull of their partner, who may be manipulating and abusive. The lines "give me that knife, put it in my heart for me, baby" and "just wait for the night, I like it when you twist it inside" suggest a desire for pain and self-destruction. The singer recognizes that their partner is dangerous but also admits that they are attracted to the intensity of the relationship.
Overall, the song is a dark and introspective exploration of temptation, danger, and the struggle to find oneself in difficult circumstances.
