Alone
Yael Naim Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are not alone
I am here with you
Even when you're scared
I'll never leave you
Standing in a storm

Making it insane
Once again, I would try
To enchain you
But you open your eyes to the sky
and whisper

That you are so lonely
You are so alone
You're so alone
You're so lonely, so lonely

So I'm coloring my face
While I am here with you
Imagining the landscape of your sorrow
Is it yellow or blue?

Coloring the sky, and the threes
and the clouds, and the moonlight
I'd colored your heart
If you didn't I did

That you are so lonely
You are so alone
You're so alone
You're so lonely, so lonely

So I'm coloring my face
While I am here with you
Imagining the landscape of your sorrow
Is it yellow or blue?

Coloring the sky, and the threes
and the clouds, and the moonlight
I'd colored your heart
If you didn't I did

That you are so lonely
You are so alone
You're so alone
You're so lonely, so lonely

So I'm coloring my face
While I am here with you
Imagining the landscape of your sorrow
Is it yellow or blue?

Coloring the sky, and the threes
and the clouds, and the moonlight
I'd colored your heart
If you didn't I did





And I wish you could just find home

You are not alone
I am here with you
Even when you're scared
I'll never leave you
Standing in a storm

Making it insane once again
I will try to enchain you
But you open your eyes to the sky
And whisper

That you are so lonely
You are so alone
You're so alone
You're so lonely, so lonely

So I'm coloring my face
While I am here with you
Imagining the landscapes of your sorrow
Is it yellow or blue?

Coloring the sky, and the trees
And the clouds, and the moonlight
I'd color your heart
If you didn't, I did

Now you are so lonely
You are so alone
You're so alone
You're so lonely, so lonely

You are so alone
You're so
You're so lonely, so lonely

"...canı çok acıyordur."
"Sorun yok. Alışıktır o."
"Acıya alışık olması, acımadığı anlamına gelmez. Sadece acısını belli etmemeyi iyi bildiği anlamına gelir."

The first time I heard this song, I was in Iraq 🇮🇶 as a young airman. I just picked a random CD at the huts 🛖 and it was the best weirdest music I've ever discovered. When times got stressful, I'd play this on repeat. It helped...

Even when you're scared
I'll never leave you
Standing in a storm

Making it insane once again
I will try to enchain you
But you open your eyes to the sky
And whisper

That you are so lonely
You are so alone
You're so alone
You're so lonely, so lonely

So I'm coloring my face
While I am here with you
Imagining the landscapes of your sorrow
Is it yellow or blue?

Coloring the sky, and the trees
And the clouds, and the moonlight
I'd color your heart
If you didn't, I did

Now you are so lonely
You are so alone
You're so alone
You're so lonely, so lonely

You are so alone
You're so
You're so lonely, so lonely

I always understand
"I'd color your heart if you didn't hide it" (: it makes more sense this way for me...
And the last words make this song even more perfect :
"And I wish you could just find home" ❤
Thanks for sharing the beautiful beautiful lyrics anyway (':
