Solitaire
Solitude Symphony: Embracing Individuality in a Crowded World
Lyrics
Everybody's laughing, everybody's drunk
Observing a social gathering where everyone is enjoying themselves with laughter and alcohol.
Everybody's talking way too much
People engaging in excessive conversation.
Only one drink in, but I think I've had enough
Feeling overwhelmed with only one drink and considering leaving.
I wanna go home and watch Buffy re-runs
Expressing a desire to go home and watch reruns of the TV show "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."
Cuz I don't feel like I'm fitting in here,
Feeling out of place and not fitting in with the social setting.
I don't understand all the rules to this game
Confusion and lack of understanding about the social rules of the gathering.
Thanks for the invite but 'till you need me,
Appreciating the invitation but choosing to be alone until needed.
I'll be over here hiding away
Preferring solitude and distancing oneself from the social event.
Playing Solitaire
Engaging in the solitary card game "Solitaire" as a means of escape.
Playing Solitaire
Reiterating the choice to play Solitaire as a solitary activity.
And I don't care
Expressing indifference and lack of concern for social expectations.
I'm playing Solitaire
Reaffirming the commitment to playing Solitaire despite others' opinions.
Solitaire
Repeating the emphasis on playing the solitary card game.
Everybody probably thinks I'm rude
Perceiving others' judgment and assuming they view the speaker negatively.
An antisocial weirdo who's just always in a bad mood
Feeling misunderstood as an antisocial person in a perpetual bad mood.
But they just can't see that I've got quite a party going on inside of my head
Highlighting the vibrant internal world and imaginative party inside the speaker's head.
And I'd rather be there instead, yeah I'd rather be there instead
Expressing a preference for the internal party over the external social event.
Cuz I finally feel like I fit in at this party for one that I've thrown
Feeling a sense of belonging in the solitary "party for one" created in the mind.
It's not that I don't like your company it's just that I'd rather sit here alone
Explaining that the preference for solitude is not a dislike of company but a desire to be alone.
Playing Solitaire
Reverting to playing Solitaire as a form of personal enjoyment.
Playing Solitaire
Continuing the solitary card game despite external opinions.
And I don't care
Reiterating the indifference to social expectations while playing Solitaire.
I'm playing Solitaire, Solitaire
Emphasizing the dedication to playing Solitaire as a personal choice.
I'mma build a house of cards, be neighbors with the Queen of Hearts
Symbolizing building a metaphorical shelter with a deck of cards and a playful reference to royalty.
And I'm gonna hide out there all day
Desiring seclusion in the constructed "house of cards" throughout the day.
But you can come and find it, I promise I won't mind it,
Inviting others into the metaphorical space while assuring a welcoming attitude.
I'll even pour a coffee for you, babe I'm not trynna push you away
Offering hospitality by suggesting coffee, indicating a desire for connection on the individual's terms.
Sometimes I just need a little bit of extra space
Expressing the occasional need for personal space without intending to push others away.
That's why I play Solitaire
Reiterating the preference for Solitaire as a means of gaining mental space.
Solitaire
Reaffirming the commitment to the solitary card game.
And I don't care
Maintaining the indifference towards societal expectations while playing Solitaire.
Cuz I'm playing Solitaire,
Restating the dedication to playing Solitaire as a personal choice.
Solitaire
Repeating the emphasis on playing the solitary card game.
Oh, playing Solitaire,
Continuing to play Solitaire without concern for external opinions.
Solitaire
Concluding with a final reference to the act of playing Solitaire.
