Cover art for Alone lyrics by Dark Tranquillity

How are there no comments on this song. Its amazing. The sadness behind it is really brought out in the '94 version. Its like the raw form of Lethe.

I think it is about someone who has given up on life because of some traumatic event. He becomes very isolated and won't interact with anyone. He has adapted a misanthropic view and despises anything that he sees. Really a very sad song.

@NovembersDoom I agree with parts of your interpretation, to me it sounds like they may have given up on humanity redeeming itself.
