"Beneath the sugar-coated electro-pop rush of her self-released debut EP Do or Die/Paper Scissors Stone there's a strange mix of more obscure influences."

Ronika Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm not beside you
Want back into the night
I see where to you
Caged by black and white
But I can make you feel
Like back and find youself
But even waiting
Shut in configure eyes
But I can make you feel
I will take you by my hand
I will give you one to one
I will make you feel in life
The way you make me feel
The way you make me feel
The way you make me feel
I feel lost the direction
But try no save your
Your love my last kiss
Oh make it better
I lost myself to feel
I have every thing I need
Tear present my
Don't need you to feel alive
The way you make me feel
The way you make me feel
The way you make me feel
The way you make me feel
The way you make me feel
The way you make me feel
The way you make me feel
The way you make me feel
The way you make me feel
I have every thing I need
Tear present my
Don't need you to feel alive
The way you make me feel
The way you make me feel
The way you make me feel
The way you make me feel
The way you make me feel
The way you make me feel
The lyrics to "Solitaire" by Ronika speak to the desire to be near the object of one's affection, despite feeling lost and directionless in life. The opening lines, "Lost in another life, I'm not beside you, want back into the night, I see where to you," suggest a longing to return to a happier, more fulfilling time with the person who makes the singer feel alive.
The singer then admits to feeling "caged" by the constraints of the world, but offers to make the object of their affection feel free and alive again. However, even though they are waiting for their loved one's return, they cannot escape their own inner turmoil, as evidenced by the line, "even waiting, shut in configure eyes."
The chorus provides the most insight into the singer's feelings. They want to take their loved one's hand and make them feel the same way they do - alive and fulfilled - and they acknowledge that this person is the one who makes them feel that way. The repetition of the line "The way you make me feel" underscores the importance of this relationship to the singer, and the final repetition of the chorus suggests that they are content with the love they have, regardless of whether they have achieved anything else.
Overall, "Solitaire" is a song about the transformative power of love and the hope it gives us in times of darkness and uncertainty.

Someone on youtube is trying to pass this song off as a new Kylie track from her upcoming album (that's what made me listen to it). WOW it's amaaaaaaaaaazing !!! Very Kylie meets early '80's New Romantic (the French talking bit in the middle is pure "Fade to grey").
