Solong
Musiq Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

See we both shared a crowded room
Not formally introduced
But I've been watching her watching me all night
And then she disappeared for a few
Must have got herself a drink or two
To work up a nerve to come and say hi
She politely spoke her name
Like a gentleman I did the same
And she sat down and we talked for a moment, yeah
She told me she'd be pleased to be
The lucky lady leaving with me
That sounds nice but I'd hate to hurt my woman

[Chorus]
So what, so what, it's all love, it's all love, show love
That's what she said to me, yeah
It's alright, it's alright, goodbye, goodbye
But for now you gotta live for the moment

Now what I look like deceiving my lady
The future mother of my babies
And lose a love that took years to build
To do that I must be crazy
And right now I don't feel crazy
Even though you're killing me with your sex appeal
And on the real she may never know
But the problem is I'll know
But how can I look into my baby's eyes
Now it just might be cool for some
But I refuse to be the one
To let a moment ruin my life

[Chorus]

I must admit you look remarkable
But my woman puts you to shame
Cause what we have is more than physical, yeah
More like spiritual souls intertwining.
Intertwining like a braid.





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Musiq's song Solong tells the story of the inner struggle that a man faces when he is attracted to another woman, while he is already in a relationship. The lyrics open with the man noticing a woman in a crowded room, and after a brief introduction, she expresses her interest in leaving with him. However, the man is hesitant to act on his desires as he fears he will betray his significant other. The chorus of the song has the woman telling the man that it's all love, and he should live for the moment, but the man cannot tolerate the thought of losing his long-term partner.


The second verse of the song delves deeper into the man's reluctance to cheat on his partner. The man acknowledges the woman's sexual appeal but reminds himself that he has a bigger responsibility towards his future children and the love that took years to build with his partner. While the man admits that he is tempted by the woman's offer, he cannot bring himself to cheat on his partner, as it may have long-lasting adverse effects on his relationship with his partner.


The message behind the song Solong is clear- it's easy to be lured by momentary attractions, but it's essential to remember the bigger picture and one's responsibility towards their significant other. Musiq communicates this message through his soulful voice and the simple yet profound lyrics of the song.
