Alone
Symmetry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I go out
I wanna see your face
But you're not there
I put my back onto the wall until I go
No, not alone.
When I wake up
Wanna see your face
But you're not there
I put my pillow on my head until I'm done
No, not alone.
No, not alone.
What if we didn't have each other
To talk about
Who we've met
Not sure I would be less lonely
But for sure one less regret
When I'm not there
Do you see my face
When we're on the phone
A million miles away
But not alone?




No, no no no
Not alone

It suggests that even though they may physically be alone, they are emotionally and spiritually connected to this person, which brings them comfort. The lyrics also hint at the fear of not having each other to talk about and the potential regret that may come from losing this connection. The mention of being on the phone and feeling a sense of togetherness despite the physical distance adds another layer to the theme of longing and the power of emotional connection.
