All By Myself
Wynners Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
When I dial the telephone
Nobody's home
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All by myself
Anymore
Hard to be sure
Sometimes I feel so insecure
And loves so distant and obscure
Remains the cure
When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
All by myself
Anymore
All by myself
Don't wanna live
"All By Myself" is a song by Hong Kong band Wynners that talks about the pains of loneliness and solitude, and the need for companionship. The lyrics describe a person who once enjoyed their freedom and singledom ("When I was young / I never needed anyone / And making love was just for fun"), but now longs for the company of another person ("Don't wanna be / All by myself / Anymore"). The singer reflects on the friends who are no longer around ("Livin' alone / I think of all the friends I've known / When I dial the telephone / Nobody's home"), and expresses frustration with their current situation.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "All by myself," emphasizing the loneliness as well as the singer's desire for change. However, the verse that follows acknowledges the difficulties that come with finding love and forming connections ("Hard to be sure / Sometimes I feel so insecure / And love's so distant and obscure / Remains the cure"). Despite the challenges, the singer remains hopeful that companionship is still possible.
The overall message of "All By Myself" is that it's okay to enjoy being alone, but there's a limit to how much solitude a person can handle. The song encourages listeners to seek out the love and connections they crave rather than resigning themselves to a life of loneliness.

When I was young
In my younger days
I never needed anyone
I did not require others' company
And making love was just for fun
Sexual intercourse was not a significant part of my life
Those days are gone
That phase of my life has ended
Livin' alone
Currently dwelling without companionship
I think of all the friends I've known
Recalling all the buddies I've had in the past
When I dial the telephone
Upon calling someone
Nobody's home
No one answers the call
All by myself
Being alone
Don't wanna be
Do not desire to remain in that state
Anymore
Not anymore
Hard to be sure
Uncertain about the future
Sometimes I feel so insecure
I experience moments of anxiety
And loves so distant and obscure
Finding love seems challenging and unclear
Remains the cure
Love is still the solution
All by myself
Being alone
Don't wanna live
Do not wish to continue living that way
Anymore
Not anymore
All by myself
Being alone
Don't wanna live
Do not wish to continue living that way
Anymore
Not anymore
All by myself
Being alone
Don't wanna live
Do not wish to continue living that way
All by myself
Being alone
Don't wanna live
Do not wish to continue living that way
Anymore
Not anymore
