Solitude
Authority Zero (USA) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm wondering about a poem
I can't express the way that I feel in words
I start to write, when I'm all alone.
I can't say that I know what I'm talking about
I can't say that I can keep below a shout
I can't say that I want what I'm writing about
As my body turns to stone
I start to peel my brain right to the bone
I'm trying to bring justice to my thoughts
I'm trying just to let my mind reign
Now I can't feel a fucking thing
Well then I ask my self, hey now why should I sing
I'm trying to bring justice to my thoughts
I'm trying just, to let my fucking mind reign!
The lyrics to Authority Zero's (USA) song "Solitude" depict the singer as they sit alone, contemplating their emotions and attempting to express them through writing. The opening lines suggest a sense of isolation and introspection, as the singer describes themselves as "by myself" and "wondering about a poem." They feel unable to articulate their feelings through words, and so they write their thoughts down in an attempt to process them.
The following lines express the singer's frustrations with their ability to communicate effectively - they "can't say" what they want to say without shouting, they don't know what they're talking about. The repetition of these phrases emphasizes the singer's sense of confusion and uncertainty.
As the song progresses, the singer becomes increasingly frustrated with their inability to understand their own thoughts and feelings. They describe feeling numb, as if their body has turned to stone. Despite this, they continue to try and make sense of their emotions, telling themselves they're "trying to bring justice to [their] thoughts." The use of profanity in the final lines underscores the singer's sense of anger and desperation as they try to "let [their] fucking mind reign."
Overall, "Solitude" is a powerful and introspective song that explores the complexities of self-reflection and emotional expression.
