Testo Alone - Nico Collins
Testo della canzone Alone (Nico Collins), tratta dall'album Alone
Eight years old and he's kicking and screaming
"I'll only go to school if you give me a reason
The kids are really mean and I already know
All the things they're teaching"
Hopped in the car, mama let him play hooky
Missed the first hour just to get a cup of coffee
She's the only one who saw who he was
No one else could read him
Showing up late but he makes it to class
Just to stare out the window and the clock in the back
He daydreamed away to a sky so gray
Everything's simple, it's driving him mental
Wishing everyday that something would change
Instead his dad makes him play ball by the bay
And every time he cries, father rolls his eyes, saying
"Son it's all your fault, how come you never try?"
He does all that he should
Why is he misunderstood?
This is a story 'bout a broken boy
With his headphones in just to block out the noise
Of everyone around him telling him the way to go
So he walks the world alone
Wondering if it gets better
Or if he's always gonna feel empty forever
So he gets lost tryna find another way back home
As he walks the world alone
15 years and he's drowning his sorrows
Smoking weed, drinking cheap liquor out the bottle
With a bunch of fake friends 'cause he tried to fit in
But it wasn't working
Ran in with the law 'bout a dozen of times
Nothing too bad, just a few suburban crimes
Still he says to himself
"What are you doing, you don't deserve this
Don't you know nobody will ever understand
The person that you are, learn to hold your own hand
Get your shit together and lose the weight
You'll never be what you want, no, not with that face"
He started writing all of his thoughts on paper,
Realized music made life so much greater
A hundred pounds down, he looks so different now
As he plans his escape from a crooked hometown
He does all that he should
Why is he misunderstood?
This is a story 'bout a broken boy
With his headphones in just to block out the noise
Of everyone around him telling him the way to go
So he walks the world alone
Wondering if it gets better
Or if he's always gonna feel empty forever
So he gets lost tryna find another way back home
As he walks the world alo-o-o-o-o-o-one
Alo-o-o-o-o-o-one
Alo-o-o-o-o-o-ooone
21 years and he's on the right path
But sometimes he wonders if he grew up too fast
And missed out on the little things
All of the little things (haha, yeah right)
Who is he kidding? Surely not himself
But sometimes he wonders if there's somebody else
Who takes the same road but he'll never know
'Cause he walks the world alone
This is a story 'bout a broken boy
With his headphones in just to block out the noise
Of everyone around him telling him the way to go
So he walks the world alone
Wondering if it gets better
Or if he's always gonna feel empty forever
So he gets lost tryna find another way back home
As he walks the world alo-o-o-o-o-o-one
Alo-o-o-o-o-o-one (Does it get better? Does it get better?)
Alo-o-o-o-o-o-ooone
As he walks the world alo-o-o-o-o-o-one
Alo-o-o-o-o-o-one
Alo-o-o-o-o-o-ooone (So alone)
Yeah, he walks the world alone
