Alone
Ty Segall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll hang around beside it, time your haul
And when you're all alone, I'll climb into your home
I wish that you weren't so mean to me
I'll make you wish you weren't so mean to me
Alone, alone
We'll be all alone
Alone, alone
We'll be all alone
Alone, alone
We'll be all alone
Alone, alone
We are alone
Alone, alone
We are alone
Alone, alone
We are alone
The lyrics of Ty Segall's "Alone" seem to embody the creepy mindset of someone who is relentlessly pursuing an individual. The opening line, "I got my fingers climbing up your wall," is particularly chilling. It suggests that the singer is in close proximity to the person, perhaps right outside their window, which is already a violation of privacy. The subsequent line, "I'll hang around beside it, time your haul," adds to the sense of unease, as if the singer is biding their time, observing the person's movements, waiting for the right moment to make their move.
The chorus, "Alone, alone / We'll be all alone / Alone, alone / We are alone," has an unsettling undertone. The repetition of the word "alone" reinforces the message that this is a solitary pursuit, one that the singer is determined to see through, regardless of the feelings or well-being of the person they are targeting. The lines that follow, "We'll be all alone / Alone, alone / We are alone," drive home the sentiment that this is a twisted and unhealthy relationship.
The final verse, "Next time you give dog a bone, I'll climb into your home," plays on the idea of the person being vulnerable and the singer taking advantage of that vulnerability. The reference to a dog bone is particularly sinister, as it implies that the person is being manipulated and possibly even abused. Overall, the lyrics to "Alone" paint a picture of a dangerous obsession that is deeply unsettling.

lyrics (near as i can make out, pls correct me):
i got my fingers climbing up your wall
i'll hang around beside it, time your call
and when you're all alone i'll gladly tear your arm (?)
i wish that you weren't so near to me
i'll make you wish you weren't so mean to me
next time i give dog a bone
i'll climb into your home
alone alone we all alone

I'm quite familiar with a few of his projects. They all have a common connection too them, other than being pretty damned good. This guy kind of reminds me of Marc Bolan. That's also pretty damned good.
