Discover the story of the song > Alibi – Johnny Hollow

The lyrics describe a person who is haunted by a shadowy figure in their dreams, who constantly criticizes and belittles them. The protagonist wishes they could find a way to ignore this figure's words and is frustrated by the fact that they sometimes believe what the figure says. The protagonist pleads with their romantic partner to not listen to the lies this figure tells, and reassures them that they are their support and defense against these negative thoughts.
