When I'm Alone

from Defying Gravity by Kevin Coem

/

about

This song mixes quite a few genres, as I took inspiration from hip-hop, EDM, dubstep and future bass when composing it. I wanted it to sound dark and even kind of eerie, but I also wanted it to be catchy, so I got creative when mixing the vocals for the hook section to make that part stand out and sound cool.

I wrote about feeling trapped, but not necessarily in a love relationship. It could be a job, a family member, or even a bad habit too. So I used these lyrics to talk about how good it feels to be able to break free and be alone, leaving what's making you feel trapped behind.

lyrics

I don't think you really know me
But you keep acting like you know it all
I've been feeling like I'm in a cage
And you own me, own me

But I got a miscreant mind ready for action
One step at a time, this is my only option
If it hurts, I'm fine with that
You gotta watch me go
Oh oh oh oh!

Ah~ When I'm alone...
Ah~ You want it? You get it
This is my turn to show you how I roll
'Cause I'm not gonna stop 'til I get where I want
Come on, sing along

When I'm alone!
Now I'm finally breaking free
No longer under you control
When I'm alone!
I've been broken for so long
But I'll pick up the pieces right now

When I'm all a-a-a-alone
I'm breaking free
Alone, alone
When I'm all a-a-a-alone
I'm breaking free
Alone, alone

You say you want me?
But you keep pushing me away
You say you need me?
And I just think that you're lying

I guess you think I'm staying, what a misconception
I'm one of a kind, oh baby I'm an exception
If it hurts, I'm fine with that
You gotta watch me go
Oh oh oh oh!

When I'm alone!
Now I'm finally breaking free
No longer under you control
When I'm alone!
I've been broken for so long
But I'll pick up the pieces right now

When I'm all a-a-a-alone
I'm breaking free
Alone, alone
When I'm all a-a-a-alone
I'm breaking free
Alone, alone

You gotta treat me right
I'm much more than you think
Yeah, you gotta treat me right
Even though it's too late

Ah~ When I'm alone...
Ah~ I'm done with the way you talk to me
I'm good even if you think that I'm not
Now I'm gone, watch me go

When I'm all a-a-a-alone
I'm breaking free
Alone, alone
When I'm all a-a-a-alone
I'm breaking free
Alone, alone

When I'm all a-a-a-alone
I'm breaking free
Alone, alone
When I'm all a-a-a-alone
I'm breaking free
Alone, alone

When I'm alone...
