Solo
Matteo Bocelli Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cars and trains, areoplanes
Birthday cake, cold champagne
I would do anything
To share it with you

I know it could never be the same
But I′m sending pictures everyday
Now I'm so far from home
I′m feeling solo, solo (solo, solo)

Missing you with every breath I take
Wishing you were with me when I wake
Thinking of you my love
What can I do

Solo, solo
Feeling so far away, far away
But I gotta find my way, find my way
They tell me don't go
But I know it's time to go
′Cause I′m singing solo
I'm singing solo, solo

Unlock the door, climb the stairs
Find you asleep in your favourite chair
You′d be surprised that I
Made it so soon

Missing you with every breath I take
Wishing you were with me when I wake
Thinking of you my love
What can I do

Solo, solo
Feeling so far away, far away
But I gotta find my way, find my way
They tell me don't go
But I know it′s time to go
'Cause I′m singing solo
I'm singing solo, solo

I'm singing solo, solo
I′m singing solo, solo
I′m singing solo, solo

Solo, solo
Feeling so far away, far away
But I gotta find my way, find my way
They tell me don't go
But I know it′s time to go




'Cause I′m singing solo
I'm singing solo, solo

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Matteo Bocelli's song "Solo" depict a sense of nostalgia and longing for someone who is far away. The first stanza references various modes of transportation such as cars, trains, and airplanes, suggesting the distance between the singer and their loved one. Despite this distance, the singer expresses their strong desire to share special moments like birthdays and celebrations with their loved one. They acknowledge that it will never be the same, but they send pictures every day in an effort to bridge the distance. The chorus repeats the word "solo," highlighting the singer's sense of loneliness and isolation.


In the second stanza, the singer imagines surprising their loved one by climbing the stairs and finding them asleep in their favorite chair. They once again express their longing for their loved one's presence, wishing they were there when they wake up. The chorus repeats once again, emphasizing the singer's desire to find their way and overcome the distance between them and their loved one. The final repetition of "solo" feels almost like a mantra, as if the singer is willing themselves to be okay with being alone.

You would be amazed that I am capable of taking such a risk


Made it so soon
And that I made it to you so quickly
