Ridin' Solo
Njomza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I waited here for you
It feels like things are different now
Don't know what's false or what's true
So I take myself somewhere far
Somewhere new
I can't feel you
What am I supposed to do
I won't look back on things that don't look my way
'Cause time has made me change
It won't let me stay
Why should I care when you absolutely never did
Don't you know that love
It works both ways
You can go, go, go
And leave me
Here alone, lone, lone
I'm ridin' solo
I'm ridin' solo, baby
I'm ridin' solo
I'm ridin' solo, baby
Is it crazy that I almost thought I loved myself
Less than I had loved you
Does it really matter what is sittin' in my cup
I know it don't got much to do with you
Purple, pink
The only way I like my drink
Light up the weed
Now I'm forgetting you
I'm fine on the line
But I'll swallow your heart and I
I can't remember you
You can go, go, go
And leave me
Here alone, lone, lone
I'm ridin' solo
I'm ridin' solo, baby
I'm ridin' solo
I'm ridin' solo, baby
Fuck it
I don't need you
I can breathe just fine without you here
I said fuck it
I don't need you
I'm doing just fine
You can go, go, go
And leave me
Here alone, lone, lone
I'm ridin' solo
I'm ridin' solo, baby
I'm ridin' solo
I'm ridin' solo, baby
The song "Ridin' Solo" by Njomza is an upbeat and empowering tune about moving on from a past relationship. The lyrics are straightforward, with Njomza expressing her frustration and confusion about a former lover who had promised to return but never did. The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm ridin' solo" as a declaration of independence and freedom from the emotional burden of waiting for someone who isn't able or willing to reciprocate love.
The opening lines of the song set the tone for the rest of the lyrics. Njomza sings, "You said that you'd come back around, so I waited here for you. It feels like things are different now, don't know what's false or what's true." She's questioning the validity of her former lover's promises and feeling uncertain about the future. But instead of dwelling on this uncertainty, she takes control of her own life and decides to "take myself somewhere far, somewhere new." This is a common theme in many breakup songs, but Njomza's delivery is unique in that she refuses to look back and instead focuses on moving forward.
The middle section of the song introduces an element of self-doubt, with Njomza admitting that she had almost loved herself less than the person she had been waiting for. This is a poignant moment, as it suggests that waiting for someone who doesn't come back can have a negative impact on one's self-esteem. However, she quickly recovers and declares that she doesn't need the other person in her life - "Fuck it, I don't need you. I can breathe just fine without you here."
Overall, "Ridin' Solo" is an empowering and catchy tune about taking control of one's life and moving on from a past relationship. The straightforward lyrics and upbeat tempo make it a perfect song to blast in the car or dance to with friends.

You said that you'd come back around
You promised to come back to me
So I waited here for you
And I waited patiently for your return
It feels like things are different now
However, it feels like things aren't the same anymore
Don't know what's false or what's true
And I'm having trouble separating truth from lies
So I take myself somewhere far
Therefore, I decided to get away to a new and distant place
Somewhere new
A place I have never been
I can't feel you
I am unable to feel your presence
What am I supposed to do
And I don't know what to do now
I won't look back on things that don't look my way
I won't waste my time on things that don't benefit me
'Cause time has made me change
I've changed and evolved over time
It won't let me stay
I can't stay the same forever
Why should I care when you absolutely never did
Why should I care about you when you never cared about me?
Don't you know that love
Don't you understand that
It works both ways
Love should be mutual between both parties involved
You can go, go, go
You're free to leave and go your own way
And leave me
And leave me behind
Here alone, lone, lone
To be alone by myself
I'm ridin' solo
I'm on my own now
I'm ridin' solo, baby
I'm handling things on my own
Is it crazy that I almost thought I loved myself
Is it strange that I almost loved myself less than I loved you?
Less than I had loved you
Less than I loved you before
Does it really matter what is sittin’ in my cup
Does it matter what I'm drinking right now?
I know it don't got much to do with you
It has nothing to do with you
Purple, pink
I don't care about the color of my drink
The only way I like my drink
As long as I'm happy with what I'm drinking
Light up the weed
I'm going to smoke some weed
Now I'm forgetting you
So I can forget you even more
I'm fine on the line
I'm doing well on my own
But I'll swallow your heart and I
But if you come back to me, I'll take you back
I can’t remember you
But if not, I'll continue to forget you
Fuck it
Nevermind
I don't need you
I don't need your love or presence in my life
I can breathe just fine without you here
I can survive and be ok without you
I'm doing just fine
In fact, I'm doing great
