Not Alone
Soler Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The thinking . The sinking
Is a day-to-day affair
If hurting is healing
Could it be Im half-way there?
The jury has spoken
I am found guilty as charged
A lifetime in prison
Could be where I find my star
Break my mind . Break my soul
Turn my spirit into stone
Cross the line . Burn my home
I am not alone
I am not alone

The demons and angels
Cause my senses to run wild
From heaven into hell
But Ill survive
Break my mind . Break my soul
Turn my spirit into stone
Cross the line . Burn my home
I am not alone

Break my mind . Break my soul
Turn my spirit into stone
Cross the line . Burn my home
I am not alone
Break my mind . Break my soul
Turn my spirit into stone
Cross the line . Burn my home
I am not alone




I am not alone
I am not alone

Overall Meaning

These lyrics from Soler's song "Not Alone" evoke a sense of inner turmoil and struggle. The first two lines suggest that the artist's thoughts and emotions are constantly sinking, as if in a state of drowning or despair. However, the next line proposes that perhaps this pain is necessary for healing to occur, implying that the artist is going through a difficult process in order to find peace or resolution. The lyrics continue with a jury finding the artist guilty, perhaps of their own self-doubts and negative thoughts. The mention of a lifetime in prison represents the idea that the artist could be trapped within their own mind, unable to escape their own inner turmoil.


The chorus is simple yet powerful, repeating the phrase "I am not alone" multiple times. The artist seems to be seeking a sense of comfort and reassurance that they are not the only one dealing with these struggles. The final verse mentions demons and angels, suggesting a battle between light and dark within the artist's psyche. Despite this inner conflict, the artist remains determined to survive.


Overall, these lyrics convey the message that even in our darkest moments, we are not alone. Though it may feel like we are trapped within our own minds, there is hope for healing and growth.
