All Alone

‘All Alone’ by Day6 is a K-Pop track from the album ‘MOONRISE’, released in 2017. Sung in a self-contradicting, midnight register, the lyrics move from insisting “I am not lonely” to dwelling on nights under the moon where only cold air keeps company. It sketches a day’s end, a hoped-for embrace that never arrives, and the wish that someone would stay. Even when the singer tries to reassure themselves for tomorrow, the refrain-like thought returns, with the wordless sky and the absence of an answer doing the most damage.
