On Your Own Again Lyrics

Cover art for On Your Own Again lyrics by Scott Walker

In my mind this Song has always been a reflection of how Scott really enjoyed the transition from being surrounded by people (Or from being in a relationship that was uncomfortable to him)to being left alone and allowed to be "Himself" again...

Which incidently is Introverted and Deeply Private.

(I especially love the line "Your on your Own Again, And You'r Your Best Again - Thats What you Tell yourself" I can totally relate to that.)

However sometime after (Having seen it through as far as it would go) he realises that it has left him feeling lonely..

My Interpretation
