I agree with andamizer. This song could mean a lot on the perspective of time and mortality.
Solitaire is a type of diamond. I think the title in itself is saying that nothing lasts forever. Everything and everyone is condemned to life and death, so people need to wake up and use their lives to amount to something. Time ticks away these last few moments... is there anything we've left unsaid? Basically, the end is going to come and people don't realize it until they're staring death in the face and then there are things that should have been said or done when they had time. I'm on a quest for atonement, got to find a peice of mind and a place to rest... Need to make everything the best I can and accept what life is.
Even the sounds eem to progress through ages... the begining starts off with random sounds, then sounds almost like a toy, a simple melody. Then it explodes into full fledged guitar and gradually becomes more reflective with the repeated lyrics and keyboards. The end goes strand by strand and fades out. Makes me think of life, newborn, growing, childhood, adolesence, adulthood, and old age.
Everyone fades away but when each generation has a responsibility to work with the next they create world (masterpiece) for their children.
This is just something I thought up with a friend. I'm not sure if it's anythihng like what Mushroomhead had in mind but I find it interesting and no one else seems to have mentioned this view.
