SOLO
Alsou Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sitting alone here in my room
Staring at your picture from midnight till noon
Counting the hours, counting the days
You know that i miss you in a million ways

[Chorus]
Now I wait in the cold
and this is getting old
No more stories, no more lies
Take me off this ride
When you see me in the hall
I look at the wall
By my actions you should know
I'm going solo

My friends tried to tell me, I didn't want to listen
'cause I'm the kind of person gotta find out on my own
I gave you my heart, you tore it apart
Now I'm coming back strong,I knew it was wrong





[Chorus]

Line by Line Meaning

I'm sitting alone here in my room
I am isolated in my room, reflecting on my thoughts


Staring at your picture from midnight till noon
Continuous contemplation on your photo leaves me sleepless at night


Counting the hours, counting the days
I constantly keep track of time, as I wait for your return


You know that I miss you in a million ways
The longing for your presence comes in various forms and intensities


Now I wait in the cold
I am left alone in misery without your love or comfort


And this is getting old
The pain of waiting has become repetitive and monotonous


No more stories, no more lies
I refuse to listen to any more deceits or excuses


Take me off this ride
I want to leave this emotional rollercoaster behind


When you see me in the hall
In public, I avoid making eye contact with you


I look at the wall
To avoid confrontation, I shift my attention elsewhere


By my actions you should know
My behavior should speak louder than my words


I'm going solo
I am beginning a journey on my own, without your presence or influence


My friends tried to tell me, I didn't want to listen
Although my peers warned me of the consequences, I refused to accept the truth


'Cause I'm the kind of person gotta find out on my own
I am stubborn and need to experience things firsthand, regardless of the risks


I gave you my heart, you tore it apart
I entrusted you with my love, but you betrayed and shattered it


Now I'm coming back strong, I knew it was wrong
After facing the pain of heartbreak, I am returning with newfound strength and clarity

Solo - lyrics:

I'm sitting alone here in my room
Staring at your picture from midnight till noon
Counting the hours, counting the days
You know that I miss you in a million ways

Now I wait in the cold
And this is getting old
No more stories, no more lies
Take me off this ride

When you see me in the hall
I look at the wall
By my actions you should know
I'm going solo

My friends tried to tell me, I didn't want to listen
'cause I'm the kind of person gotta find out on my own
I gave you my heart, you tore it apart
Now I'm coming back strong, I knew it was wrong

Now I wait in the cold
And this is getting old
No more stories, no more lies
Take me off this ride

When you see me in the hall
I look at the wall
By my actions you should know
I'm going solo

For me the real winner of the ESC 2000. Alsou's performance in Stockholm was absolutely amazing. Well done!!

@Lommy9999

Perfect 2000s pop.

@merciansupremacy5113

I was 12 when I saw this on the Eurovision song contest. First impression was, "that singer is hot!" Second: I thought this was a great song and I really, really wanted her to win. I have had the tune in my head for 22 years but have never heard it since, until now. It's even better than I remember.

@businesssimply6798

She's a Russian singer, so it's likely you wouldn't have heard it unless you are Russian or saw that contest

@theatonement
