Paroles de la chanson
That slow burn wait while it gets dark
Bruising the sun, I feel grown up with you in your car
I know it's dumb
Oooh…
We both got a million bad habits to kick
Not sleeping is one
We're biting our nails, you're biting my lip
I'm biting my tongue
Oooh…
But people are talking, people are talking
But people are talking, people are talking
Raise a glass, 'cause I'm not done saying it
They all wanna get rough, get away with it
Let 'em talk, 'cause we're dancing in this world alone
World alone, we're alone
All my fake friends and all of their noise
Complain about work
They're studying business, I study the floor
And you haven't stopped smoking all night
Maybe the Internet raised us
Or maybe people are jerks
But people are talking, people are talking (but not you)
But people are talking, people are talking
Raise a glass, 'cause I'm not done saying it
They all wanna get rough, get away with it
Let 'em talk, 'cause we're dancing in this world alone
World alone, we're alone
All the double-edged people and schemes
They make a mess, then go home and get clean
You're my best friend and we're dancing in a world alone
A world alone, we're all alone
I know we're not everlasting
We're a trainwreck waiting to happen
One day the blood won't flow so gladly
One day we'll all get still (but people are talking, people are talking)
Get still
But people are talking, people are talking
But people are talking, people are talking
Oooh…
Raise a glass, 'cause I'm not done saying it
They all wanna get rough, get away with it
Let 'em talk, 'cause we're dancing in this world alone
World alone, we're alone
All the double-edged people and schemes
They make a mess, then go home and get clean
You're my best friend and we're dancing in a world alone
A world alone, we're all alone
But people are talking, people are talking
But people are talking, people are talking
But people are talking, people are talking
But people are talking, people are talking… Let 'em talk!
Explication des paroles de A World Alone de Lorde
« A World Alone » de Lorde aborde le thème de l’isolement et de la solitude dans un monde connecté mais paradoxalement individualiste. La chanson évoque le besoin de se sentir compris et aimé, malgré la difficulté de trouver des liens authentiques dans une société où les relations superficielles prédominent. Lorde a écrit cette chanson après avoir observé la distance croissante entre les individus malgré la technologie qui devrait les rapprocher. Une anecdote intéressante est que « A World Alone » était à l’origine une démo non terminée que Lorde avait initialement enregistrée dans sa chambre, avant de la retravailler et de la sortir comme morceau final de son album « Pure Heroine ». En conclusion, « A World Alone » incarne la quête de connexion humaine dans un monde de plus en plus fragmenté.
