 The relationship between the song and the songwriter
Alan Walker dalam sebuah wawancara menjelaskan bahwa lagu Alone adalah tentang
persatuan. Anders, salah seorang produsernya berkomentar bahwa lagu ini memiliki sedikit
perasaan bahagia dan sedih di saat yang bersamaan. Dengan kata lain, lagu Alone seolah
bercerita tentang seseorang (penulis lagu) yang sedih karena harus berpisah dengan orang yang
ia cintai. Oleh sebab itu, si penulis lagu selalu mengingat momen-momen kebersamaannya
dengan orang yang ia cintai sehingga ia tak merasa sediri lagi dan terlepas dari kesedihanya. Tak
bersama, tapi tetap bersatu, walau hanya lewat sebuah ingatan dan kenangan, itulah inti dari
lagunya jika dimaknai secara sederhana.
 The meaning of the song and the message it contains
This song tells about the sadness of the songwriter who has to part with the person he
loves. Even though he asked the people he cares about not to leave him, it seems that separation
still happens. Even though they are separated, they are still united. Even though it's only through
a memory and memories, maybe that's the simple meaning. From this incident, the songwriter
finally realized that nothing in this world is eternal. There must be a meeting and there is a
separation. And even though they finally have to part, the songwriter seems to remember all the
beautiful things about his lover wherever he is so as not to feel alone.
If we watch the video clip of the song, it tells about a group of people who access
computers in their respective lives and they meet in cyberspace. Just like in real life, this group
of people perform various actions. It is described there that Alan Walker pasting a "walkers join"
sign/sticker could be a representation of their actions in cyberspace, because usually in
cyberspace hackers also often put signs on the sites they hack.
So if judging from the video clip, the song could have a different meaning. That is about
how we live in technological sophistication. Even though we are alone at home, we can access
Facebook for example and meet our friends in cyberspace, right, so we don't feel alone. Even
though we are far from our loved ones, we can still meet through video calls so we don't feel
alone. And even though the world is silent, we are still not alone because we can chat with our
crush even though our crush is far away from the world.
Separate, but still connected through the sophistication of technology and the internet.
That's how I interpret the video clip of this song.

Daniel Colter Reyolds was born July 14, 1987 in Las Vegas, Nevada. He is one of the
nine children of Christina and Ronald Reynolds. The musician's parents were Mormons (a
common religious movement in the US). Traditionally, Mormon families are large, so it is not
surprising that the Reynolds raised so many children, the seventh of which was Dan Reynolds.
The family is musical and the children start teaching music early on. Like his eight
siblings, Dan started taking lessons from the age of 6. The boy was very talented, but did not
think about the career of a musician. And dreams of working for the FBI. To fulfill his dream,

Tolman. People played famous hits at parties and bars, and then started writing their own songs.
In 2008, the group won the university competitions "Battle of the groups" and "Got
Talent", which prompted Dan Renolds to seriously think about a music career. He came to the
conclusion that he was not doing well in school and decided to drop out of college and study
music. In his interview Dan Reynolds said that this decision was very difficult for him. The band
had their big break in 2010 when the frontman of the group Train fell ill and the team was unable
to perform at the Bite of Las Vegas festival. Instead, "Imagine Dragons" performed and won the

best known as the frontwoman of the indie rock band Nico Vega.[2] She has also released

moniker Egyptian.
Volkman is the daughter of James Volkman and artist Rogene Manas. She attended South
Eugene High School and graduated in the class of 1998 at the age of 18. [4] She married the lead
singer of Imagine Dragons, Dan Reynolds, on March 5, 2011.[5] They have three daughters and a
son. Their oldest daughter was born August 2012, fraternal twin girls born in March of 2017, and
their son was born in October of 2019.[6][7][8] On April 26, 2018, Reynolds announced that he and
Volkman would divorce after 7 years of marriage. [9] Volkman confirmed the pending divorce the
following day.[10] However, on November 6, 2018, along with the release of the Imagine Dragons
song "Bad Liar", Reynolds announced that he and Volkman were dating once again and that she
helped co-write the song with him earlier in the year.
Volkman was approached by Michael Peña after a solo performance in 2005.[11] Although
Peña later left the band to pursue acting, Dan Epand (drummer) joined and this formed the basic
structure of Nico Vega in 2007.[11] The band released a series of EPs. They signed to now
defunct MySpace Records. Two years later the band released their debut eponymous album.
Three tracks off of the album were produced by Linda Perry (Pink, Christina Aguilera, Gwen
Stefani) and the rest were produced by Tim Edgar. The album was mixed by Tchad Blake (The
Black Keys, Sheryl Crow).[12] Nico Vega performed on Last Call with Carson Daly later that
year and then toured for the next couple years. They toured extensively with artists
including Gavin Rossdale (of Bush), Manic Street Preachers, Imagine Dragons, She Wants
Revenge, and Blondie. They have also opened for No Doubt.[13] During this time the band signed

Aja Volkman and Dan Epand created a new band, named TWO, and put out an EP, "Pull

Volkman in 2010. He invited her to help him finish some demos he was working on. [3][16] The
two began a collaborative process which they titled Egyptian.[3] They recorded and released
independently a four track eponymous EP digitally.[17]
They have performed this material once at the M Resort in Las Vegas. In 2015, Reynolds

2017 and featured lead single "My Man".[19] The album features production by Joshua James and
producer Tim Edgar (Nico Vega, Imagine Dragons).

 The relationship between the song and the songwriter

In this song, Reynold admits that he is a really bad guy because he often lies and causes
trouble. If only Reynold had told the truth by admitting all his mistakes, maybe he wouldn't
regret it like he is now, as if implying that Reynold promised not to pretend, not to lie anymore,
to his ex-wife (Aja Volkman). By admitting all his faults and trying to be honest with his
girlfriend, Reynolds felt that he was a terrible liar. A good liar is a liar who does not admit his
lies, while a bad liar is a liar who admits all his mistakes.
 The meaning of the song and the message it contains
The song "Bad Liar" basically tells about the regrets of Imagine Dragons vocalist (Dan
Reynold), and openly admits all the wrong he did to his ex-wife (Aja Volkman). If Reynold had
told the truth by admitting all his faults, perhaps he wouldn't be as sorry as he is now.
By admitting all his faults and trying to be honest with his ex-wife, Reynolds felt that he
was a terrible liar. A good liar is a liar who does not admit his lies, while a bad liar is a liar who
admits all his mistakes, that's about it. Reynold in this song also hopes that all his confessions
and honesty can be accepted by his lover, can be trusted by his ex-wife. From the rumors that are
developing, it is said that all of Reynold's confessions are written in this song, to persuade Aja
Volkman's ex-wife so that the two of them can reconcile.
This song teaches us to admit all mistakes, try to be honest. Because admitting ourselves
wrong, can make us a better person. We can't wear a mask and pretend to be the most perfect
person. But in reality we have a lot of faults and shortcomings in ourselves.

 The relationship between the song and the songwriter

In this song, Alan Walker thinks that his idol woman is very meaningful to his life, she is
assumed to be a shadow of light that always illuminates him. Light is needed to create shadows;
Shadow cannot be made to exist without light. But unfortunately a thousand dear, in fact Alan
Walker's relationship with his lover had to run aground, so that the love and light from his lover
slowly faded away. Alan walker was very sad, very upset, very sorry, because he was left by his
lover, he wanted his lover back in his arms.

 The meaning of the song and the message it contains

We must have often heard the words "every meeting there will be a farewell". If you have
someone you love one day you will surely meet at a point where you have to fight, lose them,
even break up with them.
The song "faded", says it all. This song tells the story of a person (Alan Walker), who feels
very sad because his love relationship with his idol has run aground. The end of the relationship
makes Alan Walker regret, because he considers that his lover means a lot to him, like a light
that always illuminates his day. But all the light eventually "faded" because his lover left him just
like that.
From the separation, his lover also finally disappeared from Alan's life. Alan, who continued
to regret the separation, finally continued to look for the whereabouts of his lover, by calling
"where are you" but his lover was never found. His lover seemed to go and disappear from his
life like the lost city of atlantis.
This song presents us with a picture of Alan Walker who is so sorry that his love relationship
had to end. So from this song, we seem to be able to learn that maintaining love is very difficult,
we must take good care of it so that our relationship always runs harmoniously.
