MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS - Solitaire [Official Audio]

Official Audio | MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS - Solitaire

“FROOT is a symbol for something really positive: you plant a seed, a tree grows, it bears fruit, that is the cycle of our lives. I feel like I’ve got to that point where I feel fully realized as a musician. I’ve never felt like that before.” - MARINA

LYRICS
[Verse 1]
Don't wanna talk anymore
I'm obsessed with silence
I go home and I lock my door
I can hear the sirens
I see buildings and bars from the window
And I listen to the wind blow
I see people and cars covered in gold
And I'm happy to be on my own

[Pre-Chorus]
Hard like a rock, cold like stone
White like a diamond, black like coal
Cut like a jewel, yeah I repair myself
When you're not there

[Chorus]
Solitaire
Something you consider rare
I don't wanna be compared, yeah
With that cheap shimmer and glitter
Solitaire

[Verse 2]
I’m in love with the ice-blue grey skies of England
I’ll admit all I wanna do is get drunk and silent
Watch my life unfold all around me
Like a beautiful garden
I see flowers so tall, they surround me
Oh, my heart, it became so hardened

[Pre-Chorus]
Hard like a rock, cold like stone
White like a diamond, black like coal
Cut like a jewel, yeah I repair myself
When you're not there

[Chorus]
Solitaire
Something you consider rare
I don't wanna be compared, yeah
With that cheap shimmer and glitter
Solitaire

[Bridge]
And all the other jewels around me
They astounded me at first
I covered up my heart in boundaries
And all the fakes they called me cursed
But I’m not cursed, I’m not cursed
I was just covered in dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt

[Chorus]
Solitaire
Something you consider rare
I don't wanna be compared, yeah
With that cheap shimmer and glitter
Solitaire

"And all the other jewels around me....They astounded me at first. I covered up my heart in boundaries and all the fakes, they called me cursed. But I'm not cursed, I'm not cursed. I was just covered in dirt"

[elnatrepagnylygdman]

My love for Froot grows with every song. 

[Shell.]

I adore Marina's songs of introversion, because not only do they sound great, her lyrics are relatable despite being about her experiences and highly creative. You know how some songs represent your life or part of it? Solitaire's one of mine.

[imelectraheart]

This song reminds me that it's OK to be alone.

[thgluv]

'I'm not cursed', idk that part just seems so powerful to me, inspires me and gives me strength every time I even think about it

[BitDylan]

One of my favorite songs from the album. It just has a raw quality to it that I can relate with!

[Matrraka]

this album is one of the most important pop records of the decade, nuff said.

[brodydemoya]

WHEN YOU BLAST IT IN HEADPHONES WHEN THE BEAT DROPS ITS AMAZING

playing solitaire listening to solitaire while i'm solitaire. 35% life goals.

[luvpersephone]

The part where she says "but i'm not cursed, i was jusy covered in dirt" is so powerful, i get goosebumps every time i hear it 💖

[lois]

marina : what froot should I release?
me: just fuck me up
marina: rELEASES ALL THE FROOTS

[dominikamaciejasz]

I don't know if you know but I know that 'solitaire' can mean precious stone surrounded by same kind of smaller stones. That would match her and us 'Marina and the diamonds'. And she doesn't want to 'be compared with cheap shimmer and glitter' and as I said it means PRECIOUS stone. That's how I think it might be.

[Inigo-cuos]

This honestly reminds me so much of the song "The Family Jewels". You can see the obvious development, and I consider this the evolved version of that song. 

[janbeltre]

why is marina not very famous? like she has all these years in the fame world but she doesn't even hit 1M in youtube?

[ailene_e]

My favorite lyric is "I repair myself when you're not there." 💜

[ivanyaguilar]

"but I'm not cursed I was just covered in dirt" really hits me 😩💜

[iestynrees]

In my opinion her best song. The vocals and effects/backing are mesmerising, the lyrics and the instrumentals are just.. beyond for me.

What an amazing talent, I feel so lucky to know about such a gifted artist

[LukeBradleyEmmett]

Savages and this are the best song 24/7. Cause she slays

[NoTeSaleNiMamado]

The first time i listened it, specially its first verses, i could picture how my life was a few years ago, struggling to get a job and finishing my career, spending my nights watching the lights of the city from my 10th floor apartment all by myself. It was Electra Heart era, but listening to The Family Jewels back then helped me to not give up, to control my anxiety, to assume my mistakes and figure how to fix them instead of depressing and complaining. You've done it again Marina. You go girl.

And I listen to the wind blow
I see people and cars covered in gold
And I'm happy to be on my own
Hard like a rock, cold like stone
White like a diamond, black like coal
Cut like a jewel, yeah I repair
Myself when you're not there
