Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mm, mm, mm
Como una espina de rosa
Cuando yo te vi con otra
Fue lo que sentĂ
Te quiero pa' mĂ
Ere' una calle rota
Serpiente venenosa
Anoche soñé que estabas aquĂ
Well, I got a feeling
These scars won't ever look like they're old news
If I let you keep on
Rubbin' salt into all my open wounds
I wish I could keep everything
That you took of me but the photos
But you keep a piece of me
Locked in a secret spot we called home
Solita, solita
Bailando aquĂ sola, como a mĂ me gusta
Solita, solita
Bailando aquĂ sola
Es mejor que con el diablo
(Mm, mm, mm)
Sola, sola, sola, sola
Sola, sola, sola, sola
Mejor que con el diablo
Mejor que con el diablo (mm, mm, mm)
Sola, sola, sola, sola
Sola, sola, sola, sola
Rooted in your ways
You won't ever know, you won't ever stay
Who I am today, the roots of my soul
Now I need to face
My demons alone (mm, mm, mm)
So close, I could smell his cologne
He asked me why I'm all alone
Solita, solita
Bailando aquĂ sola, como a mĂ me gusta
Solita, solita
Bailando aquĂ sola
Es mejor que con el diablo
(Mm, mm, mm)
Sola, sola, sola, sola
Sola, sola, sola, sola
Mejor que con el diablo
Mejor que con el diablo (mm, mm, mm)
Sola, sola, sola, sola
Sola, sola, sola, sola
The song "sOlitA" by Kali Uchis is about the feeling of being alone after the end of a relationship. The lyrics start with the metaphor of a thorn on a rose, which represents the pain that the singer feels when she saw her ex with somebody else. She admits that she still wants him despite the hurt he caused her. She describes him as a broken street and a venomous snake, highlighting the danger that he represents to her. In her dream, she wishes he was with her, showing the conflicting emotions she has towards him.
The chorus, "solita, solita," means "alone, alone" in English. The singer acknowledges that being by herself is better than being with her ex or even the devil. She prefers to dance alone, which is something she enjoys doing, and wants to face her demons alone, without any help. The bridge suggests that her ex is unable to understand who she is now, and she needs to face her truths alone. The line "so close, I could smell his cologne" indicates that he is still in her life, but as a memory.
Overall, "sOlitA" is a song about self-discovery, growth, and healing. It encourages listeners to embrace their solitude and face their inner demons alone, without relying on others.

Anoche soñé que estabas aquĂ
Last night I dreamt that you were here
Well, I got a feeling
I have a feeling
These scars won't ever look like they're old news
These scars will always be a painful reminder
If I let you keep on
If I let you continue
Rubbin' salt into all my open wounds
Adding insult to injury
I wish I could keep everything
I wish I could hold on to everything
That you took of me but the photos
That you took from me except the photos
But you keep a piece of me
You still hold a part of me
Locked in a secret spot we called home
Hidden in a place we once shared
Rooted in your ways
Set in your ways
You won't ever know, you won't ever stay
You won't understand and you won't stick around
Who I am today, the roots of my soul
My true self, the core of my being
Now I need to face
Now I have to confront
My demons alone
My inner struggles by myself
So close, I could smell his cologne
So close, I could smell his perfume
He asked me why I'm all alone
He asked me why I'm by myself
Solita, solita
Alone, alone
Bailando aquĂ sola, como a mĂ me gusta
Dancing here alone, the way I like it
Es mejor que con el diablo
It's better than being with the devil
Sola, sola, sola, sola
Alone, alone, alone, alone
Mejor que con el diablo
Better than being with the devil
Mejor que con el diablo
Better than being with the devil
Sola, sola, sola, sola
Alone, alone, alone, alone
Sola, sola, sola, sola
Alone, alone, alone, alone
