All Alone
Oppera Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

laying here tonight
wonder how you're sleeping
starting to get light
guess i must be leaving
'cause even when you're here
you make it very clear
that i'm always on my own
all alone

i'm in so much pain
can't live with or without you
you don't care either way
and your silence is as loud as a shout
so i...

whisper in your ear
that you made it very clear
and since i'm always on my own
oh then you're all alone

you don't need me around
and i'm tired of feeling down
so wipe off that stupid frown
'cause i am leaving town
to be or not to be
you won't chase after me
i guess that means i am free
but i'm still lonely

i have no more fear
ou chased away my tears
i'm better off alone
on my own
'cause even when you're here
you make it very clear





always on my own
i'm all alone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Oppera's song "All Alone" is about the pain of being with someone who never reciprocates the same effort and emotions. The song starts with the singer laying awake at night thinking about their significant other, wondering how they're sleeping and starting to get light, indicating that dawn is approaching. However, they feel the need to leave because even with the person beside them, they still feel lonely and alone. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes that despite the person being there physically, they always make it clear that the singer is on their own, hence the title "All Alone."


The second verse reveals the cause of the pain; the singer is in so much pain because they can't live with or without their significant other. The person doesn't care either way, and their silence speaks volumes. The singer whispers in the person's ear that they made it very clear that they're always on their own, indicating that they're breaking off the relationship. The chorus reprises, but the singer sings "You're all alone" instead of "I'm all alone," thereby implying that the person has pushed them away.


In the final verse, the singer announces their decision to leave the town and the person behind. They declare that they're better off alone because they no longer fear anything, and the person has chased away their tears. The song ends with a repeat of the haunting chorus, with the singer resigning to the fact that they're always on their own, even in the presence of their significant other.
