Solitude
M83 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somewhere back in time
I left a part of me, I wanna see if you can try
To bring it back to me

You gotta go where I cry
And take in all the tears, I wanna see if you can try
Drink a little bit of me
No
No

Just a little lonely where I am
Take me back in time, I wanna see if you can smile
If I become a better man

I need you, now I know
Just give me one more time, I'm gonna try and be your friend
So we can beat the end

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to M83's "Solitude" seem to be exploring the idea of wanting to reconnect with a part of oneself that has been lost or left behind. The first stanza sets up the idea of a past self that the singer is hoping to retrieve. The lines "Somewhere back in time / I left a part of me" suggest that the singer feels disconnected from a former version of themselves, and the repeated phrase "I wanna see if you can try / To bring it back to me" implies a desire to reunite with this lost part of the self.


The second stanza adds a layer of emotional depth to the lyrics. The lines "You gotta go where I cry / And take in all the tears" suggest that the singer has been through some difficult times and is looking for someone who can understand and relate to their pain. The repeated phrase "Drink a little bit of me" may be a metaphorical way of saying "get to know me on a deeper level," as if the singer is inviting someone to share in their emotions and experiences.

Somewhere
Back in time
I left a part of me
I wanna see if you can try
To bring it back to me
You gotta go
Where I cry
I'm taking on the tears
I wanna see if you can try
Drink a little bit of it
No
No
Just a little lonely
Where I am
I'm ticking back in time
I wanna see if you can spot
You finally calm my head at night
I need you
No I don't
Just keep me one more time
While I try to be a friend
So it can be the end
No
No
No
No
