Alone

this song is so sad

the way i interpret this song probably is wrong, but it comes from my own realation to it. maybe its just me, but when im alone sometimes and nothings going on, i start to think about everything, and i think thats what this song is about. "the empty room it fills my mind" like hes looking around, noticing every little detail, "as these words part with my tongue, i question why they even sung" "today and tomarrow have become one"........all of these are almost philosophical ideas that people seem to think about when they are alone and let their mind run free. or maybe im just a whack job.

I found this song while dealing with a breakup. Figure it out for yourself.

the song is very sad, but at the moment I can relate to it, I admire Ben Harper for his way of expressing his feelings... it's wonderful

this song is increable

My favorite song by Ben

these lyrics remind me of this precious 14 year old girl from california i met in an eating disorder treatment center last year. she was the cutest thing you'll ever see, so much personality, and you'd never guess her horrible fear of being forgotten. she constantly feared she'd get left behind, all alone with no one to care for her.

as for the second line, the more free time one has to sit and dwell in their own depression and loneliness, the more caught up in their eating disorder they become. that's my perception anyway.

ben harper cheated on his first wife. to me, this song describes the feelings of that experience, especially: "I don't even know myself inside".
