Behind the song
“Born Alone Die Alone” came from a point where, from the outside, it probably looked like I knew exactly where I was going. But internally, I was questioning a lot of it.
I had already made money. I had been through things, survived things, and learned how to depend on myself. People could look at my life and wish they were living it, while part of me was looking at theirs and wondering what it would have been like to just live a normal life.
That’s the contradiction behind the song.
I was ambitious and believed I was meant for something bigger, but at the same time I was asking myself, Where am I actually going?
There were moments when I felt lost, hopeless or like I was losing focus, even if nobody around me could see it. But underneath all of that, I still had this belief that I had been chosen for something and that giving up wasn’t an option.
I knew I was going somewhere.
I just didn’t always know where.
