You've Never Been Alone

Andrea Balency's song 'You've Never Been Alone' delves into the emotional turmoil of dealing with indecision and the struggle to let go of someone who has always been a significant part of one's life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of internal conflict, where the protagonist grapples with unspoken thoughts and feelings. The line 'Whenever I feel indecision, I try to keep it inside' suggests a constant battle between expressing emotions and keeping them hidden. This internal struggle is further emphasized by the recurring need to 'get away' and 'hide away,' indicating a desire to escape from the overwhelming emotions and the mess they create.

The chorus, 'Oh! You've never been alone, You've never been on your own, no, It's time to let you go,' serves as a poignant reminder that the person being addressed has always had support and companionship. However, the time has come for them to face life independently. This could be interpreted as a message of empowerment, urging the individual to find strength within themselves. The repetition of 'It's time to let you go' underscores the difficulty of this decision, highlighting the emotional weight of parting ways with someone who has been a constant presence.

The playful yet firm lines 'A to the B, to the A B B, Don't you play these games with me' introduce a sense of frustration and assertiveness. It suggests that the protagonist is tired of the emotional games and is ready to take a stand. This shift in tone adds depth to the narrative, showing a progression from vulnerability to determination. The song encapsulates the complexity of human emotions, particularly the pain and liberation that come with letting go of someone who has never truly been alone. Andrea Balency's ethereal voice and the haunting melody further amplify the song's emotional impact, making it a compelling exploration of love, loss, and self-discovery.
