All alone
The Dogma Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The shadows area taking the streets
They're hiding the place where we used to meet
There's no trace, so sign of you now
They say you're gone for good
But I refuse to bow down

Lost in a dream
You close to me

But I'm all alone
Walking the streets of sorrow
Can't look back
Can't even think about tomorrow
If you're gone
There's no hope anymore
Anymore

The neon light shining too bright
Some people are crazy, they're starting to fight
It's hard to face the truth
It's so hard to face the world without you

Lost in a dream
You close to me

But I'm all alone
Walking the streets of sorrow
Can't look back
Can't even think about tomorrow
If you're gone
There's no hope anymore
Walking the streets of sorrow
Can't look back
Can't even think about tomorrow
If you're gone




There's no hope anymore
Anymore...

The shadows are taking the streets
The darkness of my grief is filling the world around me


They're hiding the place where we used to meet
I can't find any comfort or solace in the memories of our past together

You are completely absent from my life, leaving me with no evidence of your existence

The world has accepted and moved on from your departure, but I am struggling to do the same


But I refuse to bow down
