Still Alone
Straylight Run Lyrics

The lyrics to Straylight Run's song "Still Alone" convey a sense of isolation and loneliness that the singer is feeling. The song begins with the singer trying to follow someone's advice by taking deep breaths, keeping their cool, and counting to ten. They are trying to keep their head clear and go for walks to escape the situation they are in. However, despite their efforts, they still feel alone and isolated, like the day they were born and brought into this world. These lines convey a sense of despair and hopelessness, as if the singer is resigned to their fate.

The second verse introduces the idea of having friends and how they can affect one's sense of belonging. Someone tells the singer to hold onto their friends, but the singer disagrees, saying that their friends are not like the person's friends. The next line talks about the singer's list of people they don't miss, hinting that they have cut ties with people who weren't good for them. The chorus is repeated again, emphasizing the singer's aloneness.

The final verses seem to be directed towards someone who is holding a grudge against the singer. The singer tells them not to bother holding it against them because they don't care. They dismiss the other person's complaints as "high maintenance complaints" and tell them to shut up. This suggests that the singer is in a toxic relationship or situation where they are constantly being criticized and judged. The final chorus is repeated one more time, driving home the singer's sense of loneliness and disconnection from the world.
