Time Alone
Ziggy Alberts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
in this time alone
time alone,
from the room to grow
and some stones to throw,
was a little love
in the wood
carved from the tree tops,
a little love in the ocean
and the salty skies,
so I stood by this tree here to learn some wisdom, speak clear speak clear now,
if you can,
be clear be clear
how you stood with the silence.
Singing grow
let the wind blow, let the wind blow away,
grow my love,
singing grow my dear
let the wind blow let the wind blow away,
this time alone this time alone,
...
So I'mma let my heart walk further then my feet,
so my feet can follow so my feet can follow,
and I'mma let my heart walk further then it needs dear,
so I stood by this tree here to learn some wisdom, speak clear speak clear now,
if you can, be clear be clear
how you stood with the silence.
Singing grow my dear
let the wind blow,
let the wind blow away,
grow my love,
singing grow my dear
let the wind blow let the wind blow,
this time alone this time alone,
this time alone this time alone now,
Lets find some beauty in the silence before we go,
and some beauty in the silence before we leave, cause nothing makes nervous,
nothing makes me nervous like you,
so lets find some beauty in the silence before we go,
some beauty in the silence before we leave, cause nothing makes me nervous,
nothing makes me nervous like you close to me,
Singing grow
let the wind blow, let the wind blow away,
grow my love,
singing grow
let the wind blow, let the wind blow,
grow my love,
singing grow
singing grow,
grow here.

The song "Time Alone" by Ziggy Alberts talks about finding love and wisdom in one's solitude. The lyrics emphasize the importance of taking the time to be alone in order to grow and learn from life's experiences. The opening lines "what we found in this time alone, from the room to grow and some stones to throw, was a little love" suggest that through loneliness, the singer found a little bit of love within themselves. This implies that being alone is not necessarily a bad thing and can actually lead to self-discovery and personal growth.
The second verse "so I'mma let my heart walk further than my feet, so my feet can follow" indicates that the heart is leading the way and the feet are simply following. This implies that one's emotions and intuition should guide their actions, rather than logic or practicality. The line "let's find some beauty in the silence before we go" suggests that there is beauty in the quiet moments in life and we should appreciate them before life becomes too busy or chaotic.
Overall, the song encourages listeners to take the time to be alone and find beauty in moments of stillness, as well as to allow their emotions and intuition to guide them. It also suggests that personal growth and self-discovery come from learning in these moments of solitude.
