On My Own
The People's Thieves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Devils in the night they
Tell me what I might be
Found a root with a hold
Tend to rest my head in places less inviting
I'll find my way out
Feel out the steps that I've made
You were there to hold me through
If it weren't for you
I would lose myself
And hide
Just this time
I'll be on the street somewhere
Tellin' everyone that I am not alone
Even if nobody cares
I'm screaming out
Screaming out loud
I ain't no good on my own
Walk with me for just a minute
Far from the walls where I've been livin'
Tell me again
You'll be there in the end
Cause I'm afraid to hear the echos
Always tellin' me to let go
I need a friend
Looking back at all the moments
You were there to hold me through
If it weren't for you
I would lose myself
And hide
Just this time
I'll be on the street somewhere
Tellin' everyone that I am not alone
Even if nobody cares
I'm screaming out
Screaming out loud
I ain't no good on my own
I'll be on the street somewhere
Tellin' everyone that I am not alone
Even if nobody cares
I'm screaming out
Screaming out loud
I ain't no good on my own
The song "On My Own" by The People's Thieves is a powerful ballad about navigating through life with the fear of being alone. The first verse depicts someone who is counting the days they've spent alone, while their mind is being haunted by their demons. The singer seems to have found solace in some sort of root, but doesn't feel at home in the places they've rested. However, they remain determined to find their way out and retrace the steps that brought them there.
In the chorus, the singer is looking back at moments when they were held throughout difficult times. They admit that without the support of this person, they would lose themselves and hide. But this time, they vow to be on the streets, telling everyone that they are not alone, even if nobody cares. The song ends with the singer repeating the chorus, emphasizing the fact that they are not good on their own.
The song speaks to the importance of human connection and how it impacts one's ability to persevere through difficult times. Despite feeling lost and alone, the singer finds strength in the support of someone else. The chorus highlights the idea that even when one feels isolated, there is still strength in screaming out loud and asserting their presence.
