Solitude Sometimes Is Lyrics
Solitude sometimes is
The place that i would like to live
Solitude sometimes is
When nothing really seems to fit
If black were truly black not grey
It might provide some depth to pray
To black out all the worlds of men
And demons too but not even then
Solitude sometimes is
Solitude sometimes is
Life that no longer exists
Solitude sometimes is
When there's nothing truly left to give
If black were truly black not grey
It might provide some depth to pray
To black out all the worlds of men
And demons too but not even then
Solitude sometimes is
Drop your bombs on all i see
Leave this world alone for me
The thing i need to hide behind
It reigns beneath my holy skies
If black were truly black not grey
It might provide some depth to pray
To black out all the worlds of men
And demons too but not even then
Solitude sometimes is
Solitude sometimes is
Solitude sometimes is
The place that i would like to live
Solitude sometimes is
When nothing really seems to fit
It might provide some depth to pray
To black out all the worlds of men
And demons too but not even then
Solitude sometimes is
Life that no longer exists
Solitude sometimes is
When there's nothing truly left to give
It might provide some depth to pray
To black out all the worlds of men
And demons too but not even then
Solitude sometimes is
Leave this world alone for me
The thing i need to hide behind
It reigns beneath my holy skies
It might provide some depth to pray
To black out all the worlds of men
And demons too but not even then
Solitude sometimes is
Solitude sometimes is
Solitude sometimes is

It's the opposite really. According to nicky, it's actually about wanting to be alone sometimes, because nowadays the emphasis is always on social activities and you are considered a weirdo for wanting to just spend some time with yourself sometimes.
I know exactly how he feels, which is why I love this song so much. My friends always want to do stuff and if I suggest that I just want to be alone with my thoughts for a bit they think I am some kind of freak. Just to clarify: I'm not depressed, I just like time to myself now and then.
Like Nicky himself said, not even traditionally solitary activities like reading can be enjoyed anymore with, say, joining a book club etc.
I love listening to this song, possibly about being alone without neccessarily wanting to be, which is how i feel pretty often. i love the lyric "if black were truly black not grey, it might provide some depth to pray". it's just classic Nicky lrics. i also love the guitar towards the end of the song, i don't think many other albums live up to the production work used on this song and the lifeblood album.

Yep i do see that now too actually. have read a nicky wire interview that supports your ideas "paulothemanio". and looking at the line in particular "Drop your bombs on all i see, Leave this world alone for me" does show a longing for a place to be apart from everything else
Love the pretty tinkling at the chorus, fits in with the wintriness of this song(/album) and makes it sound Christmasy in a way, reminding me of my S.A.D. (Seasonal Defective Disorder) days during the holiday season.
