Dark Solitaire is the final track to Northlane’s sixth album Obsidian.
The song, as vocalist Marcus Bridge mentions in a track by track interview with Ghost Cult Magazine, is an acknowledgement of how he wasn’t doing so well in terms of his personal mental health, and how he couldn’t pretend to be...
[Verse]
I'm falling, falling in
Into my head
I'm falling, falling in
Into my head
Walking against the wind
Dark solitaire
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm roaming these paper streets
Hoping no one will find me
You wouldn't even recognize my face
[Chorus]
I'm navigating pain
I'm circling the drain
Maybe the journey will open up the sky
The ghost of a memory won't let me say goodbye
[Post-Chorus]
Won't let me say goodbye
[Bridge]
I'm falling, falling in
[Breakdown]
I'm still trying to be what I see in myself
I'm still trying to be what I see in myself
I'm still trying to be what I see in myself
But I need help
