Alone
Twin Shadow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said you'd make it up to me
I hadn't seen you since
And didn't plan to
Then last night when I saw you
You made it very clear
That I was nothing
And that you never planned to
Isn't it unfair
That I should be alone, waiting for you
I stay alone, I stay alone
I should be alone, waiting for you
I stay alone, I stay alone
The first time that I met you, the last thing that you said
Is you were free, and I will never hold you back, from whatever feels good
So is it me first?
(Me first)
Is it you first?
Who's it gonna be?
Isn't it unfair
That I should be alone, waiting for you
I stay alone, I stay alone
I should be alone, waiting for you
I stay alone, I stay alone
Isn't it unfair
That I should be alone, waiting for you
I stay alone, I stay alone
I should be alone, waiting for you
I stay alone, I stay alone
You can tell me not to move, I'll be waiting here for you
(We'll do whatever feels good)
I'd do anything for you, I've got nothing left to prove
You do whatever feels good and
Isn't it unfair
Last time that I saw you
Said you'd make it up to me
I haven't seen you since and I don't plan to
The lyrics to Twin Shadow's song Alone in 2-3 long paragraphs:
The song Alone by Twin Shadow is about a relationship gone wrong. The singer talks about how the last time he saw his ex-partner, she promised to make things better but never did. He had not seen her since then and had no plans of running into her again, but fate has other plans. When he saw her again, she made it very clear that she was not interested in him and that he meant nothing to her. The singer feels alone and abandoned, waiting for someone who doesn't want him anymore.
The lyrics ask the question of who should come first in a relationship. The singer is left wondering if he should put himself first or his partner. However, it seems too little too late, and he is left alone, questioning the fairness of the situation.
The song's chorus repeats the same phrase, "Isn't it unfair, that I should be alone, waiting for you? I stay alone, I stay alone." The repetition emphasizes the singer's loneliness and how he feels abandoned in the relationship.
Overall, the lyrics of Alone by Twin Shadow beautifully capture the emotions someone might feel when they are left alone in a relationship, questioning the fairness of the situation.
