Alone

Justin Bieber's song 'Alone' delves into the emotional aftermath of a relationship strained by neglect and the inevitable distance that follows. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a once inseparable couple whose bond was disrupted by the demands of Bieber's schedule. The memories they created together were 'incredible,' but the relationship couldn't withstand the pressures of his busy life. This led to his partner falling into a deep depression, a situation Bieber feels responsible for, as he acknowledges the aggression and emotional turmoil that filled her heart.

The chorus emphasizes the theme of adaptation to loneliness. Bieber's partner, once deeply connected to him, has now become accustomed to being alone. The repetition of 'being alone, alone' and 'you adapted, now you're used to being alone' underscores the painful reality of their separation. It's a poignant reflection on how people can become used to solitude when left with no other choice, highlighting the emotional cost of neglect.

In the second verse, Bieber reflects on his inability to accept the truth of the situation as it was unfolding. He admits that he could have managed his time better, suggesting a sense of regret and missed opportunities. The line 'I should have fractioned it' indicates his realization that he could have balanced his responsibilities more effectively. However, the damage was already done, and his partner's depression deepened. The song concludes with a reiteration of the chorus, driving home the message that his partner has now become used to being on her own, a stark reminder of the consequences of emotional neglect.
