Alone is a song about the contradiction of wanting to be alone, to push everyone away and yet, to not understand why you find yourself lonely. To me, it means that we are all desperately trying to not depend on anyone but ourselves and somehow still feel complete.
[Verse 1]
Falling off my bed every morning
Reaching for my phone but no one is calling, no
No one is calling, no (Now what, now what, now what?)
Black and white, grey is the color
Winter light, summer is calling now (someone is calling now)
Summer is calling now (ah, fuck)
But I ain't picking up
[Chorus]
Undemanded, so backhanded
Alone (alone, alone)
I just wanna be alone
Reprimanded, empty handed
Unknown (unknown, unknown)
I just wanna be alone
[Verse 2]
Well, if they say the cup is always half full
Can't be right, cuz I swear I've drank plenty
Maybe inside I guess I wish I was too
But god damn, mine's already half empty
Fake friends, been sipping
Half numb, half feeling
No sleep, day dreaming
Hook up, bad kissing
Bad fuck, no meaning
[Chorus]
Undemanded, so backhanded
Alone (alone, alone)
I just wanna be alone
Reprimanded, empty handed
Unknown (unknown, unknown)
I just wanna be alone
(Now what, now what, now what?)
I just wanna be alone
[Bridge]
(Does it matter)
If the coffee won't hit
(Does it matter)
If the sugar ain't sweet
(Does it matter)
To be back on my feet
I just wanna be alone
[Chorus]
Undemanded, so backhanded
Alone (alone, alone)
I just wanna be alone
Reprimanded, empty handed
Unknown (unknown, unknown)
I just wanna be alone
I just wanna be alone
I just wanna be alone
