Lyrics
Looking at the pictures I keep on my shelf
'Cause it's been so long since I've looked like myself
Burn another candle down
Burn another candle down
Running low on patience, running low on fumes
I'm never gonna make it halfway to the moon
But it's too late to turn around
But it's too late to turn around
I'm running out of oxygen
I'll never be the same again now
Same again now
Oh my god, I can't remember
Who I was just last December
What have I done, how did I get here?
What have I done?
Oh my god, look in the mirror
I was young, nothing to fear once
What have I done, how did I get here?
What have I done?
Maybe I was foolish, I guess I was naive
I didn't know what I had, and I thought I had to leave
I wish that I was homeward bound
I wish that I was homeward bound
I'm searching for a signal, holding out my phone
Have I gone too far, am I on my own?
No one here to hold me now
No one here to hold me now
I'm running out of oxygen
Can't help but wish I'd stayed
I'm lost just like Will Robinson
Or rocket man in space
Oh my god, I can't remember
Who I was just last December
What have I done, how did I get here?
What have I done?
Oh my god, look in the mirror
I was young, nothing to fear once
What have I done, how did I get here?
What have I done?
Mm, mm
Mm, mm
Mm, mm
Oh my god, I can't remember
Who I was just last December
Who I was just last December
Oh my god
Oh my god, look in the mirror
I was young, nothing to fear once
What have I done, how did I get here?
What have I done?
Mm, mm
Mm, mm

if you actually read this, I LOVE YOUR MUSIC
I support you with my heart and soul so do my friends
Alec is literally the most underrated ARTIST in the world, after let me down slowly, I feel people are forgetting about him, he's pure talent
Why those quotation marks at artist ?
I feel the same
exactly
Ah yes, he is the most underrated artistS. He is multiple artists
Kerry Fox
what???
“Omg I can’t remember who I was just last December” that hit hard cause after December I slipped into a deep depression but I got a little better and this song help when it came out. I cleaned up my whole room. Might I say it was a mess I stayed in it all day my parents and friends would invite me to do stuff and I would reject them and when they asked why I didn’t go with them I made up excuses like “oh I have homework” or “I just feel like staying home today”
I know how it's hard to escape of this prison but you have to always remember that people love you and you are worth of love (I'm sorry about my English I'm learning -_- nonetheless I hope you understand my ideas)
Ella qui voilà yes I understand that now and your English is just great, thank you
@@giannaduran635 thank you and if you don't feel well, know that you can talk to me, I'm always here to help
I can relate to this song too. I used to do my homework and almost never procrastinate on it and I used to practice my trumpet every day. I also used to be social with my family. After December, all of that changed. I had pounds of homework and I became worse at trumpet. My family was worried about me because I would never go downstairs. My teachers were worried because they noticed that I ws losing sleep. I knew this was bad but I couldn't fix it. Im doing better but its still continues
Short name I’m happy ur doing better I hope that it will all get better and you’ll be the way you use to be. What it took for me to get back to normal was to take a look at the person I use to be (old pictures) and then I looked at what I became ( being less energetic, sleeping for days then not sleeping at all,staying room all day, clothes and food on the ground, shutting out friends and family,losing interest in stuff I use to love) and then a week ago I decided I wanted to be who I was again and I cleaned up my whole room and let everyone back into my life I even started to do the stuff I loved again. Now I am proud to say I am my crazy energetic self again
Who else can't wait for the album?
Meeee🙌🙌
Reaumur G me !

Accidents don't exist just "happy mistakes" - Bob Ross one of the many wholesome artists out there
People underappreciate the lyricism on Alec’s songs. He’s one of the best songwriters of this time. I’d say even better than some mainstream artists.
Yes.
So simple yet so meaningful.
Absolutely. The lyrics are amazing and carry so much more meaning than mainstream music. i may or may not be a huge fan
Depression : going to suck your life
Alec Benjamin : hold my mic!
I think you mean Dementors: going to suck your happiness

Dear Alec Benjamin,
I don't know if you're even gonna find this amidst the sea of comments here but I just want to let you know how much your song hits me so hard because this is what I've exactly been feeling today.
Waking up and looking at the mirror trying to figure who's that reflection I'm seeing in the mirror. I don't know what I'm doing right now, I don't know if what I'm doing is even right.
I wanted to write a song to express my feelings but I think I don't need to anymore because this song just explains everything and you Alec, you're a pure gem thank you so much for your music.
Don't stop making music, because your songs connect to our souls in a different way that not most artist can.

My next door neighbor is playing his radio outside super loud and I liked the melody of the song, but I couldn’t really hear the lyrics well. All I caught was “oh my....how did I get here...” So I typed in those words into Safari, clicked on the first thing that popped up, and now here I am. That’s how I got here 😆
Damn i wish my neighbors had such good taste

Waking up and looking at the mirror trying to figure who's that reflection I'm seeing in the mirror. I don't know what I'm doing right now, Seeing my parents fight with each other makes me feel so bad. IDK why I listen to your music during their fights. IDK when I'll make em happy. Nowadays I can't even study. I used to get good marks in my exams now IDK what I'm gonna do in my next exams.
I don't go outside and play cricket like before. I got no friends. Still I'm happy Alec

I did the same and she left me after 8 years. It's been 18 months since that heartbreaking moment, but it also still feels like yesterday. And yet, I've become a better person thanks to that painful moment and used it to make my life a better and more meaningful one. I believe you will overcome this and grow from this experience. Now all you need to do is believe as well :)
You will feel better one day. I know the idea of that seems so out of reach, but it's not far away. It must feel like your world is falling apart around you, but you will rise above it. And you will feel stronger. And you will grow. Lots of love :)

Unpopular opinion but He is the most talented singer ..
His songs aren't meaningless like WAP and stuff
I agree
The song WAP is not meaningless. Just like this song, time energy and feelings were put into it. Just bc things are explicit doesn't mean its okay for you to disrespect someones art.
@@leilalindsey7858 What's the meaning behind it, may I ask?

Burn another candle down

This is like forgetting what you were as a person and when you turned back to look at your actions, you don’t know how you went to that destination, you don’t know yourself anymore. And when you’re wishing you could turn back to where you were, you cant anymore. Its like the quote “It’s not about the destination but its all about the journey” But you chose to focus on the destination rather than your journey.
Oh My God!! You are the most talented person in the whole universe!!

Now it is 2:00 AM here 😆 love this song😘
Lol, it's 7am here, it's a miracle I'm here this early cause if today wasn't a teachers only day I would've been in my way to school rn, and would have missed it.
Our God is an awesome God. He reigns from heaven above. With courage,wisdom,and might. Blessings to all. No mistake is too grave. Remember the body is corporeal. A flesh construct with an expiration date. The soul is eternal. Never stop growing.
We all are changing somewhere, mentally, socially ,behaviourly, physicaly, emotionally,though unconsciously without even trying and sometimes it sucks .....
But let's enjoy this little by little even if it feels like it will fall apart ,we will fall apart but everything will collide in end to make a soft cloud,to whom we will look upto.
-2:29 am :)
His words are so true and smooth, yet so dark and meaningful
ALEC IS A GOD SENT ANGEL!! I don't know how he comes up with such amazing songs!! He is a literal ANGEL!!
His songs hit extra hard when im going through a hard time. Thanks man.
oh my god
Alec I feel like I'm you're friend. All you're songs are so relatable and your voice is axing.
I am so happy Alec Benjamin exists and he’s giving all of these amazing songs that I can relate to
“I’m lost just like Will Robinson, a rocketman in space”
Anyone who has seen lost in space on netflix??😍😍😍
Yeah same I was like so happy when he mentioned Will Robinson that's my friend Max wow 😲😀👍🤖🤖🚀🚀
@Lucas Dyer a character in a series called "Lost in Space" you should watch it
YES I freaked out when I heard that lyric when listening for the first time
Alec, this song resonates with my life. Each lyric of the song is relatable. In search of gold, I lost diamonds. 😞
i love Alec
The first time I heard Alec Benjamin, i was on the plane, bored. I turned on the satellite radio, and let me down slowly came on. I memorized his name, and looked him up when I got home. His music has literally helped me and brought me through tough times. I’m so glad I was bored. Thank you Alec ❤️
*A minute after assigning roles in a group project*
Me: Oh my god, I can't remember who I was
My friend introduced me to Alec, and it was literally the best thing they've ever done.
You know Alec has made it when you hear this song playing on speakers in a shopping centre and restaurant in Australia
Lucky to say I went to his concert today -this old womans son
Nunca vou cansar de dizer: que voz maravilhosa ❤🔥
It's rare for me to like a song at first go just like it's rare for me to not love his song the instant I hear it.
Reason :bcoz lyrics matter and his songs have such beautiful lyrics.
max will be surprised to know you mentioned him in the song .....
Alec Benjamin is best singer his voice is awesome and his song’s words are really strong. I love this song thank you Alec Benjamin you are the best! Who is with me one like lol
Ok. we all know that this song is really relatable in a lot of ways. And a few lines hit harder than you can imagine.
I'm just here to say that this is a really good song and try and dissect a few lyrics (in other words the entire song, sorry if this seems like an English assessment). ps. if you have to analyse poetry and song for an English assignment (I had to last year) feel free to take this!
Verse 1-
"It's been so long since I've looked like myself" could be interpreted as falling into depression and not being the same or not feeling the same emotions as before. This could also be about growing up.
The rest of the first verse seems like a mystery to me though. "Burn another candle down" could be some metaphor for something, but idk. As well as the "running low on patience, running low on fumes" Is a little hard to interpret for me. :P
The pre-chorus -
"I'm running out of oxygen" A metaphor! For something! Given how there is a constant space theme i think this word choice was pretty clever. It also connects the verse and chorus nicely continuing the previous line and leading into the chorus.
"I'll never be the same again now" In the video the "i'll never be the" get's crossed out, leaving only "same again now", which makes this line a lot more hard hitting for me. And makes things seem like he's forcing a smile on his face. You know , fake smiles when you r sad. or the "I'm fine" s that are obviously not fine. That sort of thing. before-hand i never thought much about how he sings "same again now" but it makes more sense for me now.
Chorus-
"oh my god" - an expression of surprise? Look. it's there to be the title. "I can't remember who I was just last December" could be seen as a sense that Alec's morals/ethics/way of thinking has changed. Or maybe his life changed over the period of time from December and when the song was written.
"what have I done? how did I get here? what have I done?" You know. We've all felt a little lost at times, wondering 'What did I do to get here?' or etc. But for the purpose of this entire comment, the whole 'what have i done' seems a little strange if what I said before is true. So this may mean that Alec regret's a past decision he made and might feel guilt for something he said? It might be something more related to the whole theme of the song though.
"look in the mirror, I was young nothing to fear once". This line is what first made me feel like this song was about growing up and reaching the struggles of adulthood (keep in mind, I'm not an adult so this might be wrong). Or maybe it might refer to anxiety? You know, before and after it?
Verse 2-
I'm not bothered writing the every line out because this part is more or less about the entire verse.
So basically, my interpretation of this verse is about leaving home and becoming independent or maybe trying to go alone through the world (which isn't a good thing, like, keep a friend close!) or something like that.
Pre-chorus (The other new words)-
"can't help but wish I stayed" which to me seems like a continuation of Verse 2.
"Lost just like Will Robinson, a rocketman in space". Ok, to tell the truth i had to search this one up. Will Robinson is a main character in a tv series called "Lost in Space". Google says that he is the youngest child and forms a connection to a robot? I think it's a reference to that but I can't tell you the details because I haven't watched it.
Meanwhile, "rocketman" may allude to Elton John's song "Rocketman (I think it's going to be a long long time)" I also haven't heard this song but feel free to give me further information on this if you wish!
My Overall thoughts-
From what I can tell, there is a prominent space theme throughout the whole song, which suits the topics being discussed. (Don't ask what they are, because I'm no expert).
Musically this song is great ( I think). I like this song a lot lyrically and melodically.
The little details in font are cool for the lyric video. Like in the last "look in the mirror" there are little pupils in the "oo" of "look" which is cute. These little details make the video more interesting for the viewers.
I could sit here for ages coming up with different meanings for every line, but in the end this is a comment, not a documentary. But feel free to reply to me with different interpretations for a line if you want! :)
(Woah. I wrote a lot!)
This was the first Alec Benjamin song I've learned of by heart.
I became aware of you through "let me down slowly". After listening to the song forever, which is really an exception for me, I also listened to older songs and only then did I realize what kind of artist you are! I love your voice, your lyrics, just your music! I think it's a shame that many only know "let me down slowly" from you and don't really care afterwards, because you are my absolute favorite singer and that is only because I became aware of you through a single song. I really love all of your songs. ❤️(sorry for my bad English)
I am nearly 50..and i say oh my god. Pure talent. Love your song. Lyrics resonates with me too.
Me is a child waking up in my bed after falling asleep on the couch: Oh my god how did I get here?!?!?!
lol
Me tooooooo
Me too lel
Whoever listens to Alec has good taste in music 🎶
1 word for Alec's music: awesome🙆♀️
The fact that I love this song and then you mentioned Will Robinson from one of my favourite shows 🥺 feels like the song comes from my soul
I don't know but I love all your song, lyrics,music and your simplicity 💜
It feels strange existing at this point, like, that person in the mirror *is me*. But at the same time, it looks like someone is completely different. It kind hurts to remember how I was just a year, it hurts knowing how I changed and who I was and I think this song perfectly shoes that
