The meaning of the lyrics of the song "ALONE" by the artist "XYL#216;"

In the song "ALONE," XYL#216; explores the theme of profound inner loneliness experienced by the lyrical hero, despite the outward appearance of a happy and fulfilling life.

The song begins by contrasting the internal state of an "outsider" with a "huge smile on [their] face," emphasizing how well the hero hides their true self. Dark clothes become a metaphor for a protective barrier concealing "anxiety the size of an empire."

The chorus is built on contrast. On the one hand, the hero is surrounded by people, "boys and girls," spending every night with them. On the other hand, this does not bring the desired sense of belonging, but only intensifies the feeling of loneliness.

Seeking relief from the emotional void, the hero seeks solace in casual relationships, "sleeping with guys to fill the void." However, this is only a temporary measure that cannot replace genuine intimacy and love. The hero tries to "pretend that everything is fine," but behind this facade lies despair and the question: "Honey, why?"

The culmination of the song is the realization of one's own party as a place where the hero feels most alone. This metaphor vividly illustrates the paradox: being surrounded by people but not feeling part of something bigger.

In the last lines of the song, a ray of hope appears. The appeal "All lonely outsiders need each other" sounds like a call for unity, a search for understanding and support from those who share similar feelings. The repeating phrase "I'm so lonely" at the end of the song emphasizes the depth and persistence of this feeling, leaving the listener with the thought that even in a world full of people, one can remain deeply alone.
