The lyrics to our chosen song and meaning

The Shape Of The Earth - Alone In This.

All these names and people places, oh I’m not that sure, I’m not that sure, am I alone in this?
All around the world they tell us oh we’re not that sure we’re not that sure, am I alone in this?
I don’t know how to breathe oh I’m not that sure, I’m not that sure, am I alone in this?
I always try and work on this a lot,
What I have I’m sure you haven’t got,
I can only, only tell the truth….


This is a song about someone questioning themselves to whether they have someone looking out for them and in the same situation in life as they are. This is a soul searching song about someone who really wishes all these things because they don't want to be on their own throughout all their life. The song is about admitting that they feel this way as they didn't want to say it as it is a realisation of themselves and the people around them and it's a fact that isn't the greatest and it's one they wanted to ignore and try to think isn't the truth.

This will be good to link in with our music video idea as the lyrics connect with what it going on in the video and makes it more emotional alongside the images and the story that appears with it. The story is about a girl who is from a bad family and lifestyle as she was abused and bullies within her own home. She then decides to travel around the UK to get away from her life and escape. Along the way she meets new people that make her happy as well as seeing loads of places that make her feel free along with the travel. These lyrics link in as she feels alone in life and wants to find something other than this feeling. It also helps to have these lyrics with the music video because she is travelling on her own and the lyrics state that the person feels alone.
