You're Not Alone
Shiloh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything around me kinda looks a little strange
You see, here's the situation
I'm feeling the frustration of my loner generation
My father's always workin' - my mother never smiles
The world is on their shoulders, money problems on their mind
They're full of good intentions as far as I can tell
But we're so disconnected like I'm living by myself
If there's someone out there who knows what I feel say hey ya!
If you're feelin' like you got the short end of the deal say hey ya!
When the world's got you backed up against the wall
And no one's there to catch you, when you're starting to fall
If you feel like no one cares what's going on
You're not alone
Hey teacher today what's the lesson
I hope you got some answers 'cause I got a lot of questions
Help me out I need an education
A little inspiration, wanna see my graduation
Does it really matter? Does anybody care?
You're goin' through the motions got me pullin' out my hair
If everybody's sleepin' I'm locking all my doors
Text me if you want to, I can't take it anymore
If there's someone out there who knows what I feel say hey ya!
If you're feelin' like you got the short end of the deal say hey ya!
When the world's got you backed up against the wall
And no one's there to catch you, when you're starting to fall
If you feel like no one cares what's going on
You're not alone
Cuz I feel like I'm drowning in space
Fighting with the choices and the chances I take
It keeps knockin' me down, lockin' me in
I'm reachin' out again- is anybody out there?
So if there's someone out there who knows what I feel say hey ya!
If you're feelin' like you got the short end of the deal say hey ya!
When the world's got you backed up against the wall
And no one's there to catch you, when you're starting to fall
If you feel like no one cares what's going on
You're not alone
Shiloh's song "You're Not Alone" depicts the experience of feeling disconnected and isolated despite being surrounded by people. The first verse talks about the pressure and stress the singer sees on her parents' faces, which makes her feel like she's living in her own world. The second verse addresses the frustration of being trapped in a tedious routine with no help or guidance to get through it. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the importance of reaching out to someone who understands, and knowing that nobody is truly alone.
The song's message is one of hope and resilience, encouraging listeners to seek comfort and support with others who have gone through similar experiences. Shiloh emphasizes that although it may seem like nobody cares, there is always someone who will listen and offer a helping hand. The lyrics also touch on the struggles of growing up and trying to find one's place in the world, a universal experience that many can relate to.
One interesting fact about the song is that it was written by Shiloh and her brother, Tyler. Another is that it was used in the 2010 movie, "Ramona and Beezus." The song has also amassed millions of views on YouTube, making it one of Shiloh's most popular tracks. Additionally, the song's message has inspired many covers and fan videos that spread the message of hope and community.

I was listening to this when i was crying in my room. My mom had just announced after we fought that either im moving out (to the streets, or to the foster homes) or her and my innocent little brother are and im left with my angry dad. These songs make me feel like im not the only one going through this, and that things will get better. Thanks shiloh. <3
