English

When have I been living alone with loneliness?
When have I felt distanced from others?

I've been forever waiting for the warmth of others
Been hoping, but nobody's ever lent a helping hand

Lived alone, sang alone, was how I've always been
Your average kindness won't help me now

In the hopes that this loneliness will

When did I start smiling all the time?
When did I lose my true smile?

Could only pretend not to care,
couldn't even depend on the kindness of others
I trembled with the lack of love,
as if everyone were escaping me

Left behind by clockwork happiness
In the end, it all fell apart

The immature songs I continued to scream,
couldn't take the people I care about the most
To tomorrow and disappeared into the skies

The skies that were too blue weren't too bright for me
the undelivered song slipped right through love
I lived alone, sang alone, that's how I've always been
Your average kindness won't help me now

In the hopes that it will one day disappear

I feel so sorry for Miku, I have some problems with depression too, but it has become better. Miku needs to stop thinking he's not strong and not good enough! An Cafe have helped so many people, and I'm one of them. He can say he's not a role model so many times he wants to, but he and the rest of An Cafe will still be heroes to me and many other people! I was about taking suicide before I knew about An Cafe. Miku, open your eyes, look at the world! You have rescued many of the people you see!

@Harajukugirl9 Extremely well said! I've sent him letters saying stuff like that, and I'm sure other fans have done it too, but Miku apparently doesn't believe them.

Why are making sad songs?!

[funkyfreshdays7]

@lillawicca You mean, why is An Cafe making sad songs?

even though they're all nyappy and stuff, they still have sad feelings at times and they need to express those feelings. Miku has depression, that's why he writes lyrics such as Alone. And it's very good that they show us their true feelings, it's much better than pretending to be happy when you actually want to cry.

[bakamistake]

I LOVE this amazing song.

[MrJoeyWheeler]

...and thus, I have fallen in love with An Cafe. I can't explain it, but there's something about these lyrics, even when I'm not reading the translation, that makes my heart cry for Miku.

Now I feel depressed myself...why couldn't I be born Japanese?

[athen8989]

Miku don't be sad...

[NoReturnsCNPSF]

I can't watch the live of this D: too sad <3

[shuyananahara100]

The song reminds me of Bou

[Devotionblue]

mmmm I like, An Cafe is the best¡¡¡

[JahJahBrie1]

When I first bought the album I remember this song was my favorite, and at the time I was going through depression, the tone of the song was peaceful and it made me feel better. When I finally saw the title and it read alone I was confused because of the way it sounds. Back then I didn't know I was going through depression but a year later I finally realized and when I came across these lyrics it described how I felt at that time and it made me cry. I'm glad they were my first jrock band. :')

[DanielaElric]

This song makes me cry :C

[TheNanaAoi]

He's still depressed when Bou left

[LittleMissVampire199]

He feels better now right? T-T
