All Alone Together Lyrics

The monsters underneath your bed
They're all just praying for you to let them crawl back home
I know it's hard to sleep
When you're so frozen
But we are all together alone

You won't find you
Unless you lose your mind
And you let go of all the things you cling to
'Cause we are all together alone

Have we gone wrong?
Or are we growing?
I'm exploding from this beauty
Have we gone wrong?
Or are we growing?
I am crushed by all this madness
Have we gone wrong?
Or are we growing?
I'm exploding from this beauty...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Can't believe there are no comments! I love that middle stanza. You have to lose everything and separate yourself from it all to know where you stand. Very zen. Perhaps a statement about materialism? At the end he's kinda questioning society.... Are we evolving or going backwards? I think a lot of people wonder this about technology--are we helping ourselves or hurting ourselves in the long run, and is it a reversible change, but I don't know whether the last stanza is strictly about technology, it could easily be about really any constantly changing thing in the world, whether personal like a relationship or massive like the state of the globe. The idea of being all together alone is very odd (and the song title has to be changed!) and one of those earthy, semi-spiritual thoughts that Cloud Cult sings so much about. Not really sure how to word what it means, I think it's just one of those things you understand.
