Solitaire
Renz Verano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who lost his love through his indifference
A heart that cared, that went unchecked
Until it died in his silence
And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself, it's easy to pretend
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire
Another day, a lonely day
So much to say that goes unspoken
And through the night, his sleepless nights
His eyes are closed, his heart is broken
And solitaire's the only game in town
And every road that takes him, takes him down
And by himself it's easy to pretend
She's coming back again
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire
A little hope, goes up in smoke
Just how it goes, goes without saying
Solitaire
And by himself it's easy to pretend
He'll never love again
Ohhh
And keeping to himself he plays the game
Without her love it always ends the same
While life goes on around him everywhere
He's playing solitaire
Solitaire, solitaire
The lyrics of Renz Verano's "Solitaire" portray the story of a man who lost the love of his life due to his indifference. The man cared for his love, but failed to express it, eventually leading to the death of the relationship in silence. This left the man lonely and he turned to the game of solitaire as his only source of companionship. Every road he takes seems to lead to a dead-end, and he finds it easy to pretend that he will never love again. He isolates himself from the world, playing solitaire to fill the void in his life.
As time goes by, the man still feels the pain of the loss and the words he never spoke. Sleepless nights only add to his sorrow and his heart remains broken. Despite his pain, he still clings to the hope that his love will return, but it goes up in smoke. He continues to play the game of solitaire, hoping that somehow, things will change. In the end, he is still alone, playing solitaire in a world that moves on around him.
"Solitaire" is a poignant and melancholy song that speaks to the heart of anyone who has loved and lost. The lyrics express the deep sense of loneliness that can follow the end of a relationship and the regret that comes with realizing that one did not express their love when they had the chance. The choice of solitaire as a symbol of the man's isolation and loneliness is a powerful one, as the game is usually played alone and represents a kind of solitary confinement.
