Inner city nights, I cannot sleep
Oh candy, sweetest remedy
Only you can ease my troubled dreams
Caught up in bitterness and blame
Oh candy, on dark and lonely days
I hear your voice whispering my name
You can make it on your own
Don't you know it's alright to be alone
You can make it on your own
I will always see you safe from harm
Candy, we'll never be apart
Night and day you're constant in my heart
You can make it on your own, yeah
Don't you know it's alright to be alone
You can make it on your own
Oh candy, my dreams
Oh candy, my dreams
Oh candy
Come to me, you are not alone
Oh candy, you're everything to me
You and I will always be free
You can make it on your own yeah
Don't you know it's alright to be alone
You can make it on your own
It's alright to be alone
Don't you know it's alright to be alone
You can make it on your own yeah
Don't you know it's alright to be alone
You can make it on your own yeah
Don't you know it's alright to be alone
You can make it on your own yeah
It's alright to be alone
You can make it on your own yeah
It's alright to be alone
You can make it on your own yeah
It's alright to be alone
You can make it on your own yeah
Does this song make anyone else think about drugs?
No, it's about the effect of vanilla coke on austrian indiegods full of youthful spirit.
:D
why does this song seem so damn contradictory to me??? does anyone else feel this way? Evidence: "Candy, we'll never be apart" but later... "Don't you know it's alright to be alone/you can make it on your own"... I'm confused.
i like the video and song but i dont get the lyrics...
but now that i read them again it does sorta sound like he's writing about drugs.
i thinkk it could be perhaps about a girlfriend of his and although he cares a lot for her, he knows it can't work for some reason or other and that's why he's telling her 'it's alright to be alone'. and i think the line 'we'll never be apart' is that even though they are not going to be together, they had something special and will always have a special connection thiing between them. just a gues, although i do like hollys interpretation of it!
I think it's about the effects of chocolate on your mood. It has been proven that chocolate makes you feel better when you're depressed, in this case depressed of being alone.
I just think it's about that it's alright to be alone. Lots of people are alone and looks for a boy/girlfriend, and they should just know that it is alright to be alone.
One of Ash's best and underated.
This song means so much to me; reminded me of my first girlfriend when I was with her. Candy always made me feel great inside.
I agree with theTyrant; assuring people who are single that it's alright to be alone and they are not the only ones.
My favourite line will always be "You can make it on your own".
For me it's my first love...
