Solitude Lyrics

In my solitude
You haunt me
With dreadful ease
Of days gone by

In my solitude
You taunt me
With memories
That never die

I sit in my chair
And filled with despair
There's no one could be so sad
With gloom everywhere
I sit and I stare
I know that I'll soon go mad

In my solitude
I'm afraid
Dear Lord above
Send back my love

I sit in my chair
Filled with despair
There's no one
Could be so sad
With gloom everywhere
I sit and I stare
I know that I'll soon go mad

In my solitude
I'm afraid
Dear Lord above
Send me back my love

What is the Meaning of Solitude?

When love leaves, it often takes a piece of us with it; a sentiment beautifully echoed in this melancholic melody. The protagonist is haunted by the ghost of a past lover, their memories an uninvited guest in her solitude. She's trapped in a cycle of despair and loneliness, staring into the abyss of her own heartache. The walls of her solitude close in on her, threatening to drive her mad. Her only respite is a desperate plea to the divine for the return of her lost love. It's a poignant reminder that sometimes, solitude isn't peaceful contemplation but rather an echoing chamber of painful reminiscences.
