alone in a room full of people
blackbear Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm alone
In a room full of people
On a street full of broken homes
And we only hurt each other
And I'm alone
In a room full of clones
Thought you all were my friends
But we only hurt each other in the end

Hurting each other since 2018
You got me anxious again, so I'm stuck in my sheets
You had me so high, now I'm on 1%
You plugged me in and tucked me in, you showed me how to pretend
I hope you're happy, even though you don't look it with him
Had to archive every photo like it didn't exist
Now every summer I just think about the times that I miss
Not to mention all the friends that I lost ever since

And I'm alone
In a room full of people
On a street full of broken homes
And we only hurt each other
And I'm alone
In a room full of clones
Thought you all were my friends
But we only hurt each other in the end

Yeah (yeah)
A hundred missed calls and I don't wanna pick up
'Cause when you say you'll hit me back, you hit me back in a month
And I don't wanna leave the crib and I don't want get lunch
'Cause everything I love doing, it just lost all its fun
And you made me feel disgusting 'bout the things that I've done
Gave me a hundred chances, I fucked up every one
Reminiscing 'bout a past that I could never outrun
I've been looking 'round this room and I don't fuck with anyone

'Cause I'm alone
In a room full of people
On a street full of broken homes
And we only hurt each other
And I'm alone
In a room full of clones
Thought you all were my friends
But we only hurt each other in the end

And we only hurt each other in the end
And we only hurt each other in the end

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Blackbear's song "Alone in a Room Full of People" depict feelings of isolation and disappointment in relationships. The first verse suggests that despite being surrounded by people, the singer feels alone. They compare the environment they are in to a street full of broken homes, emphasizing the sense of damage and pain existing within their social circle. The line "we only hurt each other" implies a cycle of harm and conflict within these relationships, leading to the singer's solitude.

The second verse delves deeper into the specific experiences that have contributed to the singer's feelings of being alone. The mention of "hurting each other since 2018" implies a history of repeated hurts and unresolved issues. The singer's anxiety, represented by being stuck in their bedsheets, highlights the emotional toll these experiences have had on them. The reference to being "on 1%" suggests a state of extreme emotional lows, feeling drained and disconnected from their usual vibrancy.

The chorus repeats the theme of feeling alone in a room full of people, emphasizing the brokenness within the social setting. The mention of clones suggests a lack of individuality or genuine connection in these relationships. The revelation that their supposed friends have also contributed to hurting each other in the end adds to the singer's sense of disillusionment and loneliness.

The final verse delves into the aftermath of the damaged relationships. The singer expresses exhaustion and a lack of motivation to engage in activities they used to love. They convey a feeling of shame and self-disgust, possibly caused by the judgments and criticisms they received from others. The repeated references to being alone in a room and not connecting with anyone further encapsulate the singer's current state of isolation and detachment.

Overall, these lyrics capture the struggles of navigating toxic relationships, feeling disconnected from others despite being physically surrounded by people, and the resulting emotional consequences of being constantly hurt.

[Chorus]
I'm alone, in a room full of people
On a street full of broken homes
And we only hurt each other
And I'm alone in a room full of clones
Thought you all were my friends
But we only hurt each other in the end

[Verse 1]
Hurtin' each other since 2018
You got me anxious again, so I'm stuck in my sheet
You had me so high, now I'm all on the descend
You put me in and tucked me in, you showed me how to pretend
I hope you're happy, even though you don't look it with him
Had to archive every photo like you did in the gym
Now every summer I just think about the times that I miss
Not to mention all the friends that I lost ever since

[Chorus]
And I'm alone, in a room full of people
On a street full of broken homes
And we only hurt each other
And I'm alone in a room full of clones
Thought you all were my friends
But we only hurt each other in the end

[Verse 2]
Yeah
A hundred missed calls and I don't wanna pick up
'Cause when you say you'll hit me back you hit me back in a month
And I don't wanna leave the crib and I don't wanna get lunch
'Cause everything I love doing it just lost all its fun
And you made me feel disgusting 'bout the things that I've done
Gave me a hundred chances I fucked up every one
Reminiscing 'bout a past that I can never outrun
I been looking 'round this room and I don't fuck with anyone

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm alone, in a room full of people
On a street full of broken homes
And we only hurt each other
And I'm alone in a room full of clones
Thought you all were my friends
But we only hurt each other in the end

[Outro]
And we only hurt each other
And we only hurt each other

He literally can’t make a bad song i swear, and they’re so relatable to the point it hurts sometimes but it’s nice to have songs that you can relate to well.
