Solstice
Adventurer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Woah!
Woah!

And I don't even care where I go
And I don't really care who you know
Pull me back from something
I just want to be real
I don't want to be forgotten
Take me back to old school
I just want to know you
Maybe we should take the time

I know you'll feel better
When you let me come inside
I think you'll feel better
If you say what's on your mind
So long
I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting

They try to tell me that I'm slipping up
It's kind of funny 'cause I'm not giving up
As I'm watching themselves digging deeper into the mud
I still see you
You should keep your mouth shut
I know that you're watching me with both eyes closed
Woah!

And with my hands around her throat
She chokes
She chokes
Can we just stay the same
Can we make everything
Go how it used to be
How it used to be

I knew that you would never last
You were too perfect and impressive
I'm not meant for anybody like that
I knew that you would never last
You were too perfect and impressive

I know you'll feel better
When you let me come inside
I think you'll feel better
If you say what's on your mind
So long




I've been waiting so long
I've been waiting

Overall Meaning

The Adventurer's song "Solstice" depicts a protagonist who is unconcerned with their destination and the people they meet on their journey. The individual feels lost and disconnected from reality, and desires a meaningful connection with someone who is genuine. The lyrics suggest the singer is seeking to rediscover a past relationship with someone who understood them deeply, and longs to recapture the feeling of being truly known. Yet, such a desire is hindered by doubts and skeptical voices telling them they are unworthy of such relationships. The singer, in turn, struggles with a sense of inadequacy and self-doubt.


The lines "And with my hands around her throat / She chokes / She chokes" may evoke violent imagery. However, it is plausible that this is a metaphor depicting the singer's inner turmoil and attempts to hold on to something that no longer serves them. They may be struggling with letting go of the past and moving forward with a meaningful connection.


Overall, the song suggests that true fulfillment comes from being real, genuine, and being able to communicate our thoughts and feelings genuinely. At the same time, we must learn to let go of the past and believe in ourselves.

I don’t even care
Where I go
I don’t really care
Who you know
Pull me back from something
I just want to be real
I don’t want to be forgotten
Take me back to old school
I just want to know you
Maybe we could take the time

I know you’ll feel better when you let me come inside
I think you’ll feel better if you say what’s on your mind
So long I’ve been waiting

They try to tell me that I’m slipping up
It’s kind of funny cuz I’m not giving up
As I’m watching themselves digging deeper into the mud
I still see you can you keep your mouth shut
I know that you’re watching me with both eyes closed

With my hands around her throat she chokes

Can we just stay the same
Can we make everything go how it used to be

I knew that you would never last
You were too perfect and impressive
I’m not meant for anybody like that

Loved you guys since I heard House back in college in 2015. Instrumentals have such a full sound, the melodies are infectious, and the harmonies are always on point. Your material just keeps getting better, keep up the great work and I look forward to what’s in store for the future 🤘🏻
