We're All Alone
Rita Coolidge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
'Neath the waves
Through the caves of ours
Long forgotten now
We're all alone, we're all alone
Close the window, calm the light
And it will be all right
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 all right
No need to bother now
Let it out, let it all begin
All's forgotten now
We're all alone, oh, we're all alone
Close the window, calm the light
And it will be all right
No need to bother now
Let it out, let it all begin
Owe it to the wind
My love
The song "We're All Alone" by Rita Coolidge is a romantic ballad that describes the feeling of being alone with a loved one. The first verse sets the scene of a rainy night, with the suggestion that it may continue for some time. The singer instructs the listener not to cry, because they are together and they have a dream that will transport them to an eternal sea. The second verse describes how the couple can be together even if they are physically separated by the lyrics are used to take the loved one on an imaginary journey through caves and waves. This is a metaphor for the emotional journey they are sharing.
In the chorus, the singer tells the listener to close the window, calm the light, and relax. Things will be all right, there is no need to worry. The tension ebbs away, as the lyrics encourage the loved one to let it all out, to let everything begin again. The singer suggests that after telling their story, they should not worry that it will grow old like the seasons that change or the love that fades. Instead, the couple should hold onto each other and owe everything to the wind.
Overall, the song's interpretation is that we all seek solace in our relationships with loved ones, but through the passing of time, we have to deal with aging and the changing of our relationships, much like the cyclical change of seasons. The dreamy and poetic lyrics are open to interpretation and allow the listener to attach their own meaning to the song.
Line by Line Meaning
Outside the rain begins
The rain has started outside
And it may never end
It seems the rain is going to continue for a long time
So cry no more
Don't be sad or upset
On the shore, a dream
A dream of life at the beach or by the sea
Will take us out to sea
The dream will help us escape our troubles
Forever more, forever more
This escape will last forever
Close your eyes and dream
Visualize and imagine
And you can be with me
We can be together in this dream
'Neath the waves
Underneath the ocean's surface
Through the caves of ours
Exploring the underwater caves
Long forgotten now
Memories of this adventure have been lost over time
We're all alone, we're all alone
There is no one else around us
Close the window, calm the light
Shut the window and turn off the lights
And it will be all right
Things will be okay
No need to bother now
You don't need to worry or stress
Let it out, let it all begin
Start fresh and let the adventure begin
Learn how to pretend
Immerse yourself in the dream and pretend it's real
Once a story's told
After telling a story
It can't help but grow old
The story becomes less interesting over time
Roses do, lovers too
Just like roses and lovers, stories wither and die
So cast your seasons to the wind
Let go of the past and start anew
And hold me, dear
Be close to me, my love
Oh, hold me, dear
Stay close and don't let go
Owe it to the wind
We can attribute our new beginning to fate or chance
My love
Enduring term of endearment for a significant other

'Neath the waves

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, 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

@Celia Batista É por que antes só a gravadores tinha o poder de produzir e só escolhia musicas top para gravar não se via música sem letras, já hoje qualquer um pode grava, até em casa, muita merda é produzida e lançada, antes as músicas era escolhida a dedo.

@61guitbox
the list of classic songs from the 70’s is loaded with gems like this one ! by far the best decade for music !! ☮️
@guilhermebertti7247
Taí uma verdade absoluta, nunca houve uma década tão brilhante em músicas espetaculares como a década de 70.
80s foi genial também, mas por pouco perde pra de 70.
