PJ Morton's 'Go Alone' is a soulful reflection on the tension between following one's own path and conforming to expectations. The song encourages listeners to embrace their uniqueness and pursue their true desires, even if it means walking alone. Morton acknowledges the difficulty and cost of authenticity but resolves to play the hand he's been dealt rather than live as a spectator. The lyrics touch on themes of self-discovery, courage, and the internal struggle between safety and purpose. While not overtly religious, the message resonates with Christian themes of faith, surrender, and trusting God's plan for one's life.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I'm not so sure if it's a gift
Or a curse that I have been given
To live with
Sometimes it's my only wish
That I didn't have to be so different
What's the reason
But you don't wanna be
Going through the motions
As a ship sets on the oceans
Passing you all by
You're standing on side
A spectator of your old life
Don't you think it's time
You take a ride
Why do you go on
Why do you go on
You should go for what you wanted all along
Why do you go on
Why do you go on
You try to feel it even when it felt so wrong
Instead of just going alone
Why don't you go alone
I want the world to sing along
But I'm not sure I can afford the costs
Without getting lost
I know that there's an easy way
But I'm not sure that I'm willing to play
I'm not so good at this game
'Cause I can be
Going through the motions
As a ship sets on the oceans
Passing you all by
You're standing on side
A spectator of your old life
Don't you think it's time
You take a ride
Why do you go on
Why do you go on
You should go for what you wanted all along
Why do you go on
Why do you go on
You try to feel it even when it felt so wrong
Instead of just going alone
Why don't you go alone
I'm not saying it will be easy
But what choice do I have
I'll take head for being me oh no
For being somebody else
So I'll play with the cards
That I have been dealt
And I'll play my own game
Why do you go on
Why do you go on
You should go for what you wanted all along
Why do you go on
Why do you go on
You try to feel it even when it felt so wrong
Instead of just going alone
Why don't you go alone
You might have to go alone
