All Alone

Saturnus, a band known for their melancholic and atmospheric sound, delves deep into the theme of loneliness and existential pain in their song 'All Alone.' The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person standing alone, observing the world around them while grappling with an unending sense of sorrow and confusion. The imagery of clouds floating by suggests a passage of time that brings no relief from the emotional turmoil. The mention of 'pain never deserted me' and 'sadness, sorrow, bewilderness that never left' highlights a persistent state of emotional suffering that the protagonist cannot escape.

The chorus, 'I'm flying away,' introduces a fleeting moment of escape or transcendence, but it is quickly overshadowed by the return to solitude. The lines 'Holding hands with myself, Sharing life with myself' emphasize the protagonist's isolation, as they are their only companion. This self-reliance is not portrayed as empowering but rather as a consequence of their inability to connect with others. The metaphor of 'reaping the loneliness I've sown' suggests that the protagonist's current state is a result of their past actions or choices, leading to a harvest of solitude in the 'fields' they have cultivated.

The final lines, 'Digging the blackness from my mind, I will die all alone,' convey a sense of hopelessness and resignation. The act of 'digging the blackness' implies an attempt to confront or understand their inner darkness, but the conclusion is bleak. The inevitability of dying alone underscores the depth of their isolation and despair. Saturnus uses these powerful and evocative lyrics to explore the human condition, particularly the themes of loneliness, self-reflection, and the search for meaning in a seemingly indifferent world.
