Solo
Clean Bandit (feat. Demi Lovato) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You speak to mee
And in your words I hear a melody
But in the twilight it's so hard to see
What's wrong for me

I can't resist
Until you give the truth a little twist
As if you're gonna get away with this
You're not sorry

I can't believe I fell for this

I fell through the hole
Down at the bottom of your soul
Didn't think you could go so low
Look at what you done
You're losing me
Is what you've won
Got me planning to go solo

You sing to me
Too bad you couldn't even stay on key
If your life is such a mystery
Why don't you just stick to acting
Oh

Here we go again
You couldn't find my number until when
You thought that you could get to my best friend
Without a script your game is lacking

I can't believe I fell for this

I fell through the hole
Down at the bottom of your soul
Didn't think you could go so low
Look at what you done
You're losing me
Is what you've won
Got me planning to go solo

I'd rather go to a party alone
Than have to walk around with you on my arm
Now that I'm better to admit that we're done
Good luck trying to find me

Down at the bottom of your soul
Didn't think you could go solo
Oh oh oh
Look at what you've done
You're losing me
Here's what you've won
Got me planning to go solo





Now we're done oh oh
Cause you got me planning to go solo

Overall Meaning

The song Solo by Clean Bandit [feat. Demi Lovato] is about a relationship that has lost its spark. The lyrics talk about the main character hearing a beautiful melody in the words of their partner but being unable to see what is wrong with their relationship in the shadows. The person cannot resist their partner but they twist the truth, leaving the singer wondering how they could have fallen for this. The song is an expression of disappointment and hurt due to the other person's behavior. The singer states that they are ready to go solo and rather be alone than be with someone who doesn't treat them right.


The song's chorus repeatedly refers to falling through a hole down at the bottom of the soul, which is a metaphor for the singer's partner's character. They didn't think their partner would go so low, but now that they have, the singer feels like they must plan on going alone. Even though their partner tries to reach them through their best friend, the singer believes the game is lacking because it's without a script. The lyrics are an expression of confidence in ending a relationship that doesn't work for the singer.


The song Solo was released on May 18, 2018, by Clean Bandit [feat. Demi Lovato].


Line by Line Meaning

You speak to me
When you talk to me, it sounds like music


And in your words I hear a melody
Your words flow together like a beautiful song


But in the twilight it's so hard to see
It's difficult to understand you when things are unclear


What's wrong for me
I can't figure out what's going on with you and me


I can't resist
I am drawn to you and can't help myself


Until you give the truth a little twist
You manipulate the truth to your advantage


As if you're gonna get away with this
You act as if your deception won't have consequences


You're not sorry
You don't feel remorse for the pain you cause


I can't believe I fell for this
I'm in disbelief that I allowed myself to be fooled


I fell through the hole
I got trapped in your deceit


Down at the bottom of your soul
Your true self has been revealed and it's dark


Didn't think you could go so low
I didn't expect you to behave so badly


Look at what you done
You've caused a lot of destruction


You're losing me
I'm slipping away from you


Is what you've won
Congratulations, you've won a prize - loneliness


Got me planning to go solo
I'm going to break away from you and be independent


Too bad you couldn't even stay on key
Your actions don't match up with your words


If your life is such a mystery
You keep things hidden and unknown


Why don't you just stick to acting
You're better off pretending, because you're not good at being real


Here we go again
We've been through this cycle before


You couldn't find my number until when
You ignored me until it benefitted you


You thought that you could get to my best friend
You tried to use my friend to get closer to me


Without a script your game is lacking
You can't hide behind a facade anymore


I'd rather go to a party alone
I'd rather be by myself than be with you


Than have to walk around with you on my arm
I don't want to show you off to the world


Now that I'm better to admit that we're done
I'm ready to acknowledge that our relationship is over


Good luck trying to find me
You won't be able to locate me easily


Now we're done
Our relationship is officially over


Cause you got me planning to go solo
You pushed me away and made me want to be independent

Solo
Clean Bandit
This solo, solo, everybody
This solo, everybody
This solo, solo, everybody
I never meant to leave you hurtin'
I never meant to do the worst thing
Not to you (this solo, solo, everybody)
'Cause every time I read your message
I wish I wasn't one of your exes
Now I'm the fool (this solo, solo, everybody)
Since you been gone
I've been dancing on my own
There's boys up in my zone
But they can't turn me on
'Cause baby, you're the only one I'm coming for
I can't take no more, no more, no more
I wanna f-woop, woop woop, but I'm broken hearted
Cr-cr-cry but I like to party
T-t-touch but I got nobody
Here on my own
I wanna f-woop, woop woop, but I'm broken hearted
Cr-cr-cry since the day we parted
T-t-touch but I got nobody
So I do it solo
This solo, solo, everybody
This solo, everybody
This solo, solo, everybody
So I do it solo
This solo, solo, everybody
This solo, everybody
This solo, solo, everybody
I do it solo
Every single night I lose it
I can't even hear the music without you (it solo, solo, everybody)
Ah, yeah, yeah
Try to stop myself from calling
But I really wanna know if you're with someone new (it solo, solo, everybody)
Since you been gone
I've been dancing on my own
There's boys up in my zone
But they can't turn me on
'Cause baby, you're the only one I'm coming for
I can't take no more, no more, no more
I wanna f-woop, woop woop, but I'm broken hearted
Cr-cr-cry but I like to party
T-t-touch but I got nobody
Here on my own
I wanna f-woop, woop woop, but I'm broken hearted
Cr-cr-cry since the day we parted
T-t-touch but I got nobody
So I do it solo
This solo, solo, everybody
This solo, everybody
This solo, solo, everybody
I do it solo
This solo, solo, everybody
This solo, everybody
This solo, solo, everybody
So do it solo
Can't do it solo
I wanna f-woop, woop woop, but I'm broken hearted
Cr-cr-cry but I like to party
T-t-touch but I got nobody
Here on my own (here on my own)
I wanna f-woop, woop woop, but I'm broken hearted
Cr-cr-cry since the day we parted
T-t-touch but I got nobody
So I do it solo
This solo, solo, everybody
This solo, everybody
This solo, solo, everybody
I do it solo
This solo, solo, everybody
This solo, everybody
This solo, solo, everybody
I do it solo
So I do it solo
