“Alone / With You” is the sixth track of Daughter’s sophomore album Not To Disappear.
Sonically, “Alone / With You” sees the trio pushing their sound into new directions, with a muffled house beat and lurching bassline. But lyrically, the song forms the thematic core of Not To Disappear, as explain...
[Verse 1]
I hate sleeping alone
Terrified with the lights out
I hate living alone
Talking to myself is boring conversation
Me and I are not friends
She is only an acquaintance
I hate dreaming of being alone
'Cause you are never there
Just a shadowy figure with a blank face
Kicking me out of his place
I hate walking alone
I should get a dog or something
I hate eating alone
I hate eating alone
[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
I hate sleeping with you
'Cause you are never there
Just a shadowy figure with a blank face
Kicking me out of his place
I hate living with you
I should get a dog or something
I hate walking with you
Talking to myself is boring conversation
You and I were once friends
Now you're only an acquaintance
[Chorus]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
[Verse 3]
I hate dreaming of being with you
I hate dreaming of being with you
I hate dreaming of being with you
Terrified with the lights out
Terrified with the lights out
[Chorus]
I hate feeling, feeling alone (Ooh-ooh)
I hate feeling, feeling alone (Ooh-ooh)
I hate feeling, feeling alone (Ooh-ooh)
I hate feeling, feeling alone (Ooh-ooh)
I hate feeling, feeling alone (Ooh-ooh)
I hate feeling, feeling alone (Ooh-ooh)
I hate feeling, feeling alone (Ooh-ooh)
I hate feeling, feeling alone (Ooh-ooh)
