Dialogue Lyrics
I want to be alone
I need to touch each stone
Face the grave that I have grown
I want to be
Alone
Before all the days are gone
And darker walls are bent and torn
To pass the time of those who mourn
I want to be
Alone
Rivers that run anywhere
Are in my hand and just up the stair
Past the eyes of those who care
Who can never be
Alone
Changes that were not meant to be
Tow the hours of my memory
Sing a song of love to me
To say you must never
Never be alone
The tears of a silent rain
Seek shelter on my broken pain
And run away
But I remain
To speak the words
That sing
Of alone
I want to be alone
I need to touch each stone
Face the grave that I have grown
I want to be
Alone
I need to touch each stone
Face the grave that I have grown
I want to be
Alone
Before all the days are gone
And darker walls are bent and torn
To pass the time of those who mourn
I want to be
Alone
Rivers that run anywhere
Are in my hand and just up the stair
Past the eyes of those who care
Who can never be
Alone
Changes that were not meant to be
Tow the hours of my memory
Sing a song of love to me
To say you must never
Never be alone
The tears of a silent rain
Seek shelter on my broken pain
And run away
But I remain
To speak the words
That sing
Of alone
I want to be alone
I need to touch each stone
Face the grave that I have grown
I want to be
Alone

I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I think this song is about wanting to be alone. I may be wrong though.
Maybe this is too general, but I think it's about retreating oneself to be alone despite the coincident feeling of having to find someone that gives the life back its sense. Maybe he left his love and is now mourning about this grave he so built himself.
I dont know, to me it feels like when he says he wants to be alone he is longing for death. So sad that the idea feels like relief even though it means to continue being alone. Thats how i see its meaning. Have no clue if thats what he thought, but to me the lyrics tell that story.
