On her Tumblr, Marina answered a fan’s question asking what “Solitaire” means to her and how she felt while writing it:
Being introverted isn’t a personality flaw. I love being around people—and performing for people- but I really enjoy having time to myself too. I think at the time of writing I co...
Solitaire 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
[Outro]
Hmm, solitaire
Hmm, solitaire
Hmm, solitaire
Hmm, solitaire

What did MARINA say about "Solitaire"?
In a track-by-track interview about FROOT, Marina said about “Solitaire”:
It’s one of the most stripped-back tracks on the record, but it’s an important one, thematically. It’s kind of about sticking up for yourself and remaining a very strong character despite whatever is going on around you.
