Alone
Song Meaning
Disciple sits inside real despair without rushing to resolve it in "Alone" — "like a single grain of sand moving with the tide, no one knows I'm here, wouldn't matter if I died." The song lets that thought stand as spoken, rather than immediately correcting it with reassurance.
"Time is running out, tired of not having rest, can't go on like this forever, maybe death is best" keeps the danger explicit rather than softened into vaguer language about sadness. "Tell me what it's all about, you love me, well that I really doubt" voices genuine doubt about being loved at all, deeper than mere tiredness.
"Told me a story of a man with scars in His feet and hands, can take me away from this land, but can He really save me" ends the song on an open question rather than a resolved testimony — the story of the crucified and risen Christ is set beside the despair without claiming to have already fixed it, treating the doubt itself as still standing at the song's close.
Like a single grain of sand moving with the tide
No one knows I'm here wouldn't matter if I died
Out of control lost on my way searching and dying more each day
[Bridge]
Trying as hard as I can
Won't someone hold out their hand
I feel so strange in this land
But if you ask me I'm fine
[Chorus]
I can't go on
I've always had to be by myself
I'm so alone
I just need somebody's help [X2]
Time is running out tired of not having rest
Can't go on like this forever maybe death is best
Tell me what it's all about, you love me, well that I really doubt
Told me a story of a man with scars in His feet and hands
Can take me away from this land
But can He really save me
