Immersed in introspection and solitude, this musical piece invites listeners into a contemplative journey. The lyrics emphasize the importance of self-discovery and personal growth through introspection, signified by "spend some time away" and "spend some time alone." The recurring phrase "alone again" underscores the necessity of solitude in this process. The phrase "you'll run with better men" suggests that through such self-reflection, one can improve oneself and consequently find oneself in improved company or circumstances. Furthermore, the line "it's within that brings that lonely feeling," indicates that loneliness is not an external condition but rather an internal state of being. Ultimately, Mac DeMarco communicates the transformative potential of introspective solitude.
