Standing Alone
Pothead Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Standing Alone Now, Waiting For Someone
For Somethin', Somethin'
Alone, O Hitchhiker, O Poor Man
In A Strange Land, A Strange Land

Please Understand, Like Make-believe, Or On T. V.,
A Holiday
Standing Alone, Standing Alone, Standing Alone

Livin' Is So Hard, Wanna Not Know It, Oh Around
Midnight Gonna Be Losin'
Gonna Just Dream, Ya, Gonna Just Dream, Ya
Oh, I'm Fallin' Again
Hooded In Darkness, Aminous Consumes Us.
Oh, It's Just So Real, Oh, It Consumes Us

Standing Alone Here, Waiting For Somethin'
Or Someone, Someone
Standing Alone Now, Livin' In A Place
Of Emptiness, Emptiness

We'll Make Believe, Or Make Up Some Truth,
Or Call'em Lies, Misunderstood
Standing Alone, Standing Alone, Standing Alone

Livin' Is Sad, Wanna Not Feel It, Gonna Try Do Right,
Gonna Just Turn It Around
Livin' Is So Hard, Hope I'm Gonna Make It
No I'm Mistaken, No I'm Mistaken
More Than A Letter, More Than A Statement
Life Is Just So Short, Wanna Do So Much
Never Can Take It, Never Can Take It
Never Can Take The Emptiness

Standing Alone Here, Like A Bad Dream
Running In Place, Time Is Money

Wasting Away, All Of Our Lives
Are Meaningless And Incomplete

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song, "Standing Alone", express the sense of isolation and loneliness that the singer is experiencing. The singer is waiting for something or someone but doesn't really know what or who he's waiting for. The use of repetition in the phrase "standing alone" emphasizes this sense of isolation and the feeling of being disconnected from the world. The reference to being a hitchhiker or a poor man in a strange land implies that the singer is unfamiliar with his surroundings and feels out of place.

The second stanza of the song reveals the singer's desire to escape his present reality. He wishes to get lost in his dreams and not think about the hardships of life. But the singer is also aware that he is falling deeper into darkness, symbolized by the "hooded in darkness" imagery. The third stanza demonstrates the singer's desperation and hopelessness. He is waiting for something or someone that doesn't seem to be coming, and he is living a life devoid of any meaning or purpose.

Overall, the song "Standing Alone" is a poignant representation of human emotion, describing the feelings of isolation, loneliness, and despair that can affect anyone at any time in their lives. The repetition and imagery of the lyrics both emphasize the singer's sense of disconnection and provide insight into the universal human experience of loneliness.
