Solitude
Belmont Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To hold myself in place
But I've been sinking lower in my own distaste
And I still wonder if you'll ever find and dig up my grave
Or if I'm buried in the hopes I'll rot away
I tried my best to move along with you
But you never tried to follow through
Alone with no peace of mind
(You took my piece of mind)
I did my best to admit I'm wrong
Took the blame for far too long
While you're stuck inside your head
I've been stuck inside my bed
I feel like I'm losing ground
Climbing up to just fall down
I tried my best to move along with you
But you never tried to follow through
Gave up and spent my time in solitude
Alone with no peace of mind
(You took my piece of mind)
I'm just a placeholder, nothing to care over
I'm just a dot on the map
I'm just a placeholder, nothing to care over
I'm just a dot on the map
The lyrics to Belmont's song "Solitude" speak to the pain of feeling alone and unimportant in a relationship. The singer expresses frustration and disappointment with their partner for not reciprocating the effort and energy put into the relationship. The line, "I never thought I'd be the one to hold myself in place," suggests that the singer has tried to maintain a sense of stability and consistency in the relationship but feels like they are carrying the weight alone. The following lines describe the singer's growing discontent and disillusionment, feeling like they are sinking deeper into their own negative feelings and wondering if their partner will even care enough to try to help them.
The chorus repeats the idea that the singer has given up on the relationship and is spending their time alone, with no peace of mind. The line "you took my piece of mind" suggests that the partner has caused some kind of harm or sadness. The next verse continues to highlight the inequity of the relationship. The singer has tried to take responsibility for any issues, but their partner remains stuck in their own head, leaving the singer feeling stuck in bed, helpless and defeated. The final lines of the song acknowledge the singer's feelings of insignificance, feeling like they are just a "placeholder" and "dot on the map" to their partner.
Overall, "Solitude" is an honest and raw expression of the pain of feeling unseen and unimportant in a relationship. The lyrics touch on the complicated emotions that can arise from a sense of unreciprocated effort and the feeling that the relationship is one-sided.

I never thought I'd be the one
I never imagined that I would be in this situation
To hold myself in place
To keep myself in a stagnant position
But I've been sinking lower in my own distaste
But I have been falling deeper into my own self-loathing and dislike
And I still wonder if you'll ever find and dig up my grave
And I am still unsure if you will ever discover and acknowledge the harm you caused me
Or if I'm buried in the hopes I'll rot away
Or if I am being disregarded and neglected, left to decay
I tried my best to move along with you
I attempted to progress and grow together with you
But you never tried to follow through
But you did not put in the effort to make it work
Gave up and spent my time in solitude
I surrendered and spent my time alone
Alone with no peace of mind
Completely by myself with no sense of tranquility
(You took my piece of mind)
(You have taken my peace of mind)
I did my best to admit I'm wrong
I tried my hardest to acknowledge my mistakes
Took the blame for far too long
I accepted responsibility for too much, for too long
While you're stuck inside your head
While you are preoccupied with your own thoughts
I've been stuck inside my bed
I have been unable to get out of bed
I feel like I'm losing ground
I feel as though I am losing my sense of stability
Climbing up to just fall down
Striving to make progress only to encounter disappointment and failure
I'm just a placeholder, nothing to care over
I am nothing significant, not worth any affection or attention
I'm just a dot on the map
I am a small and insignificant point on the grand scheme of things
I'm just a placeholder, nothing to care over
I am nothing significant, not worth any affection or attention
I'm just a dot on the map
I am a small and insignificant point on the grand scheme of things
