Wallows - Not Alone

Copied!

{Verse 1: Braeden Lemasters, with Dylan Minnette}
It's dark in the place where you used to be
And all I have's a shadow that you left for me
I got pictures in my head workin' overtime
See the shattered face of you through the blinds
I've counted all the sheep and I know
My brain is turning upside down

{Refrain: Braeden Lemasters & Dylan Minnette}
Oh, I didn't want to let this go
More than you will ever know

{Verse 2: Braeden Lemasters, with Dylan Minnette}
Can we get back to a place that leaves no scar?
Every little piece of us we've torn apart
Staring at the ceiling now and I can't sleep
Maybe all the slaughterhousеs got the sheep
Or maybe they'rе just out getting sheared
To make a blanket of my fear

{Refrain: Braeden Lemasters & Dylan Minnette}
Oh, I didn't want to let this go
More than you will ever know

{Bridge: Dylan Minnette}
You make a mold
Your ghost is gone again
Enlightened by the sunlight shining in
I know it's wrong to know you're right infront of me
And, by the way, I know you're where you're meant to be
I'll wake alone
Your ghost is gone again
Enlightened by the sunlight shining in
Am I constrained in wondering if you think of me
But either way, we're still not alone
Still not alone
See Wallows LiveGet tickets as low as $32
{Outro: Dylan Minnette}
We're okay, we're still not alone
Still not alone
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Still not alone, still not alone

The meaning of the song

edit description

"Not Alone" by Wallows is a heartfelt song that delves into the feelings of loneliness and longing after a breakup. The lyrics paint a picture of a dark, empty space left behind by a lost love, with haunting memories and shattered pieces of a once perfect relationship. The chorus expresses the pain of not wanting to let go, highlighting the deep emotional connection that still lingers. The bridge captures a sense of acceptance and realization that despite the separation, the presence of the other person is still felt, creating a bittersweet sense of togetherness in solitude. The outro brings a sense of reassurance that even though they may be apart, they are not truly alone. The melancholic yet hopeful tone of the song resonates with anyone who has experienced heartbreak and the struggle to move on.

Biography

edit bio

Wallows singers/guitarists Braeden Lemasters, Dylan Minnette, and drummer Cole Preston have been playing in groups together since they were 11, starting out at a San Fernando Valley music program, Join the Band. Throughout their time together, the trio have played under several different monikers, the first being “The Feaver,” debuted in 2010 when the four-piece (at this stage, bassist Zack Mendenhall was part of the collective) won 98.7 FM’s RockStar 2010 battle of the band competition, which lead to their 2011 Vans Warped Tour performance. In 2014, the band changed their name to The Narwhals, releasing a self-titled EP the same year.
The band’s current state was birthed by the release of debut single “Pleaser,” in 2017, with the band (now a three-piece), settling on the name, Wallows, inspired by the location in Tony Hawk’s Underground.

Nearly a decade into their friendship, the trio released their major label debut on Atlantic Records, Spring, a collection of six new songs, including “Pictures of Girls” and “These Days”, produced by John Congleton. Wallows' debut EP, follows the release of standalone singles,“Sun Tan”, “Uncomfortable” and “Pulling Leaves off Trees” in 2017.

The band released three standalone singles in 2018, “Underneath the Streetlights in the Winter Outside Your House,” an older track performed by the band whilst they still used the moniker The Narwals; a re-recording of “1980s Horror Film” from the Spring EP and “Drunk On Halloween”.

The release of collaborative single “Are You Bored Yet?” (Featuring Clairo) announced Wallow’s debut album Nothing Happens. Before the drop, two other album singles were released, “Scrawny” and “Sidelines,” respectively.
