Never Alone Always Alone
Takida Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hatred grows, leaving leads for us, yes it shows, can't find harmony
You won't heal, it's for real
Surely fall, never take friendship personal,
Go your own way and prove them wrong
It's in your hands now, hanging on to the hopeful words,
Plant a seed with a need
I am never alone, I'm failing to turn
I will never miss home, I want to get back again
I am never alone, my colors will burn,
Never alone, always alone
Fearful eyes watching all around,
All this time with no heart and you never cry
Where's the power in that? It's not right, sending signals of shame
I once knew, so did you
I am never alone, I'm failing to turn
I will never miss home, I want to get back again
I am never alone, my colors will burn,
Never alone, always alone
I am never, I am always alone,
I will never miss home,
Breathing lives, and your tears streaming,
Time we now, so
Hold on tight, be the strong one to melt the fight,
Make it all right!

I am never alone, my colors will burn, Never alone, always alone" emphasizes the idea that we are all connected and that even though it may feel like we are alone, we are never truly alone as long as we hold on to hope.

Mal Bredova
Pevně vydrž, buď tím, kdo zanechá války
Dej to do pořádku
Nenávist roste, karty hrají s námi a už je to vidět,
nemůžu nalézt klid
Ty se neuzdravíš, není to sen
Nepodléhej, nikdy neber přátelství vážně, ušlapej si svou cestu a ukaž jim, že se mýlili
Teď je to v tvých rukou, drž se slov naděje,
v nouzi zasaď semínko
Nikdy nejsem sám, nemůžu se obrátit
Nikdy mi nebude chybět rodný dům, chci se vrátit zpět
Mé barvy budou hořet, já vždy budu sám
Bojácné oči sledují svět kolem, pro teď nemám
srdce a tys nikdy nebrečela
V čem je ta síla? Tohle není správné,
vysílám signály studu
Já jsem věděl a tys to věděla taky
Šeptám lži a tvé slzy se valí ven právě včas,
tak
Pevně vydrž, buď tím, kdo zanechá války
Dej to do pořádku

This song is from my childhood favorite rock band (also this album is my favorite childhood rock album) that is coming from my local home region (I'm proud of that).
It's a bit amazing that they came from little town (some of you would call it village) and now they're one of Sweden's greatest rockbands
EDITED: Never mind! The new song "Master" capture this hard rock spirit. It's just awesome :D
