The song "Alone Again Or" by the band UFO tells a story about waiting patiently for someone who constantly chooses to be alone. The lyrics convey a sense of resignation and acceptance towards this situation. The song starts with the narrator expressing that it's alright and they won't forget all the times they've waited patiently for this person. Despite their efforts, the other person continues to act on their own free will, doing whatever they choose to do. This leaves the narrator feeling alone once again, emphasizing the distance and emotional separation between them and their loved one. A significant part of the lyrics comes from a quote someone said to the narrator. The quote suggests that the person speaking could potentially fall in love with anyone because they find people to be the greatest source of enjoyment. This quote highlights the narrator's realization that their loved one doesn't appreciate the value of their relationship and instead seeks enjoyment elsewhere. Overall, "Alone Again Or" depicts a lonely and unfulfilling relationship where the narrator patiently waits for someone who constantly chooses to be alone. The lyrics capture the sentiment of longing and resignation associated with unreciprocated love.
