All Alone

Blind Witness's song 'All Alone' delves into the tumultuous emotions of confusion, helplessness, and a desperate need for understanding. The opening lines, 'What the fuck is going on?' immediately set a tone of bewilderment and frustration. The narrator feels disoriented, as if they are sleepwalking through a reality that doesn't feel real. This sense of disconnection is further emphasized by the lyrics 'I feel like time has no ending,' suggesting a state of limbo where the passage of time is meaningless and the narrator is trapped in a cycle of confusion.

The song's chorus reveals a deeper layer of emotional turmoil. The narrator is not only struggling with their own feelings but is also deeply concerned about someone else, possibly a loved one. The lines 'I never wanted it that way, I never planned to make you face this all alone' express a profound sense of guilt and responsibility. The narrator wishes they could erase the painful memories of a past tragedy for this person, highlighting their desire to protect and support them despite feeling powerless.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of time and control. The narrator feels like they are in a race against the clock, unable to control the 'game' anymore. This metaphor of a game suggests that life has become a series of unpredictable and uncontrollable events. The repeated screams for understanding and the promise to protect the loved one underscore the narrator's desperation and determination to find some semblance of stability and meaning in the chaos.
