Not Alone
Tupelo Honey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The way the tears run down your face
Too soon to know
It's all within your hands to change
Beautiful
Your colors fade and turn to gray
In front of you
Can't see clearly from below
Caught up in the undertow
You're not alone
You're not alone
When it feels like you're to blame
You hate the sound of your own name
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're overwhelmed
Every road has done you wrong
Just hold on
You've always been where you belong
Can't see clearly from below
Caught up in the undertow
You're not alone
You're not alone
When it feels like you're to blame
You hate the sound of your own name
You're not alone
You're not alone
When no one hears you
And the world's against you
You're not alone
Not alone
You're beautiful
It's all within your hands to change
Can't see clearly from below
Caught up in the undertow
You're not alone
You're not alone
When it feels like you're to blame
You hate the sound of your own name
You're not alone
You're not alone
The song "Not Alone" by Tupelo Honey is a message of hope to those who feel lost and overwhelmed. The lyrics describe how one may feel like giving up, but they are reminded that they are not alone in their struggles. The first verse acknowledges the pain and sadness the person is experiencing, but then emphasizes that it's up to them to change their situation. The chorus reassures the listener that they are not the only one going through difficult times and encourages them to keep going. The second verse speaks directly to those who feel like they have been wronged by the world, telling them to hold on because they have a purpose and a place in this world.
The pre-chorus, "Can't see clearly from below, caught up in the undertow," is a powerful metaphor for feeling trapped and overwhelmed by life's challenges. The line, "You hate the sound of your own name," speaks to the shame and self-loathing one may feel when they are struggling, and the repetition of "you're not alone" in the chorus reinforces the theme of community and support. The final lines, "It's all within your hands to change," is a message of empowerment and hope, reminding the listener that they have the power to make a difference in their own lives.
Overall, "Not Alone" is a song that addresses the often-unspoken struggles of mental health and emotional pain. It tells us that we are not alone in our struggles and that there is hope for change and healing.

You're beautiful
You are a beautiful person
The way the tears run down your face
Even though you cry, you're still beautiful
Too soon to know
It's too early to say what will happen
It's all within your hands to change
You have the power to change your situation
Your colors fade and turn to gray
Your emotions and passions are no longer as vibrant as they used to be
In front of you
The answer is visible and available to you
The answer's there for you to take
The solution to your problems is waiting for you to embrace it
Can't see clearly from below
Unable to view things with a clear perspective
Caught up in the undertow
Overwhelmed and carried by the negative circumstances
You're not alone
You're not by yourself
When it feels like you're to blame
When you feel responsible for the issues you're facing
You hate the sound of your own name
You're ashamed of who you are and what you've done
You're overwhelmed
You're feeling highly pressured
Every road has done you wrong
Nothing has gone according to plan
Just hold on
Stay strong and don't give up
You've always been where you belong
You have significance and purpose in every situation
When no one hears you
When nobody pays attention to you
And the world's against you
When everything seems to be working against you
Not alone
You still have yourself to rely on
