| Tame Impala – Solitude Is Bliss Lyrics

I thinks it's not only about preferring physical solitude, but recognizing and enjoying the fact that everyone is alone. Alone in the sense that they are limited to their own consciousness and cannot fully understand another's. People are bound to their own perspectives and cannot purely empathize or connect, so to speak. This song is about how that isolation is actually transcendental and beautiful rather than bleak. |

Do you think it might mean that he thinks his father was a better man than himself. He views his father as brave and steadfast and himself as a coward. Its a tribute to his father. |

I think its about having a fling with someone and realizing the other wants more when you don't. So you find an excuse to let it fall apart (being far apart). But, you try to make it seem like you tried for the sake of the other persons feelings (trust in me if i could i would be there) |

I guess I always heard the lyrics wrong, I thought it was about him not being able to be with someone for whatever reason and him coping with it.
I always thought it said "If I could choose a different life, I'd be off with you tonight"
Ive never been so profoundly moved by lyrics that werent even correct |

correct me if im wrong but....Daniel Johnston, the writer of the song, has been in love with a girl named laura all his life but he is not with her. She was a very old friend that he never had the chance to be in a real relationship with. Most of his songs are about her but she has declined to be with him. He doesnt and hasnt had contact with her in a looong time. Many of his songs about love are about laura and are written hopelessly long after the fact. It helps to know this to understand the lyrics. Both versions of the song strike a deep chord in me. It portrays a deep everlasting love for someone, long after the hope of being with them is gone. The picture the song describes is arguably the last image the speaker has in his/her head of the one they love and lost (like the last time they saw them). The love the speaker has is still so strong, even long after the fact, that the picture is still as bright and clear and on the same spot on his/her wall as it always has been. Time and hopelessness have not degraded the love at all. The tragic irony is that it isnt the love BETWEEN the people that lasts a long time, but the speakers own unrequited feelings. It ironically and sadly clashes against the cliche of mutual love lasting a long time. Ah, its really beyond words, it is just so purely true and tragic. |

To me it seems like the speaker is the one broken up with and he is obviously really despondent about it. He finds himself in a quiet reflective/meditative state, such as sitting by a pool and feeling the wind. It seems to me that in this state of meditative reflection, the wind represents a very universal, transcendental, spiritual breath that envelopes him. This is a very literary interp. that harkens to Romanticism. He realizes that even in this state of meditative reflection, and even with perhaps the advice from others to "cheer up", he is restless and maybe realizes he will never be able to be a rest about the situation, because the love he had was "another kind", the kind that you only find once, and he has lost it. This song very much relates to "Reprise" |

To me this song seems to be about how we look and look for love that is true and makes us happy, and that maybe you only find it once. And in this song it seems that the speaker has found his love, but his love is not with him at the moment and is out "rambling around" trying to find a love that they already had with the speaker. The speaker is maybe implying that to search will be futile because the person already found that once in a life time love with him, and maybe hopes, eventually, they will realize that and come back. Im not really sure what "from the top, children yell" means though. |
