I used to listen to this as a 14 year old emo kid, now I'm 23 and the song hits harder the more you grow up. Cheers to the OG fans here

This is why Amy is so amazing. I have never been in a situation like that, but she puts SOOO much emotion into her voice that I cry EVERY TIME I listen to this song. Never fails. My heart just breaks for people who feel like this.

[@Magicalcutzi1]

I cried when I heard this song for the first time. This is the most beautiful song I've EVER heard in my whole entire life!

Me too, after all these years. I'll never get bored of their early songs!

[@annc7739]

This song completely narrates the story of my life. Can’t wait til my confusing, heartbreaking, lonely existence ends and hope my soul and spirit can eternally sleep soundly without ever to wake up to this miserable reality again.

Me too

[@rosenblatterunddornen1804]

I can relate to this song so much on a personal level. I used to cry to this song every night for a long time.. By no means am I expecting anyone to read this all lol, but I guess I just feel like writting this right now. Since before I could remember my father used to come in and out of my life when he felt like it, and would abandon me for 6 months- a year at a time. He always used to tell my mum to tell me that he was comming to get me, and I'd be sitting at the window from early in the morning till after sunset waiting for him. And when he was in my life he would tourcher me, and abuse me. I've never been the person to have any friends all my childhood either, but once I got to high school, I actually gained some very close friends; but they all ended up abandoning me in very hurtful ways. One of my male friends was badly abusive twords me, and would beat the shit out of me and threaten my life/threaten to rape me with knives (so when he left the school I was finally able to break free of that after 3 years). My other male friend who I became attatched to tried to convince me to commit suicide, knowing I was in a bad state in my depression, and abandoned me. My female friend (which I had been friends with for a long time), got angry with me because I was depressed and used me, then told me 'to go fuck myself and that she was done with me period'. My boyfriend who was abusive/narcissistic to me, constantly cheated on me, played with my head, manipulated me, used my pain from my past against me, and then tried to tell me to commit suicide, abandoned me in a very hurtful way. Oh and when I would call my boyfriend (who, mind you, I was planning on marrying, we both were planning on getting married soon and having kids) to tell him about my male friend that was abusing me, I would be sobbing over the phone begging for his help, but he would just laugh at me and say "Well, life sucks"; I closed off to everyone else about it after that since I was convinced no one cared about me at all, and just kept on being abused for a year. All of them abandoning me was all with 2 weeks/ on my birthday. My mother and I were at bad standings I guess for a while, so she wouldn't really interact with me. *I hadn't seen my father for 4 years at this point, because my mother thankfully seperated him from me after finding proof that he was grooming me, and was not only ofc very abusive to me, but also a pedophile twords me as well.* And for 6 months I spent my life in complete solitude, no human touch or interaction At All.. Which, long periods of that actually deteriorates your mind. But I remember just wanting to go up to my mother, to anyone on the street and started begging and sobbing for them just to hug me, just to say something to me, let me know that I was still alive and not some ghost. But 6 months went by, and though that was 2 years ago, it still badly affects me and my ability to give affection. I still suffer from depression and loneliness, and I still play this song every so often and feel so much more pain flood back into my chest..

[@nakamopapina8889]

Can i give you a hug? It's the best i can do *hugs*

[@lifegoeson6461]

I wish I could hug you tightly through the screen . You are precious , you are here for a reason . Stay strong as you have always , this too shall pass. Hard to believe , but hang in there ," this too shall pass" , the world needs you!

[@teamjester7082]

I sincerely wish you have abundance and happiness for the rest of your life, friend. ♡

I'm so sorry all that happened to you. I sincerely hope things get better for you. ❤

[@nakitaburrows2106]

This song describes how I feel about my ex girlfriend......I've cried every night since we broke up. But I'll just hide in my solitude and pray it never leaves.

[@shrey543210]

The first few lines are sung by solitude to its victim. Then in the end it comes back to tell its victim that it is the only friend he ever had.

[@ambershoes]

Everyone leaves me stranded-forgotten abandoned -left behind~

[@crimsonbutterflies]

This song speaks to my heart...Solitude, you are my long-time friend... Still with me is only you..I can't stay away from you.. Is it me or Scorpios can be extremely lonely people when they decide to stay in the shadows?

[@MJrawksmyworld16]

I used to lyke this guy, when I first started going to our school, he was super nice, real funny, and kinda crazy, and the winter dance was coming up and my best friend dared me to ask him, but when I went to see him, he was holding another girl, laughing, I almost went home crying that day. Even today, I see them, walking around hand in hand, almost as if she's mocking me. Since then, this is my sing.

*The idiot guy who didn't date Amy listening to this song and seeing how amazing she is today: Fuck... /Being young sucks. You dont know what's what or where to go and it may even make you do stuff like fall for a guy who barely even notices you (or something like that) but then you realize you're actually pretty kick ass like Amy here. Don't beat yourself up if you're here in that situation right now! There is so much more to you you may not even see yet!

Evanescence Lyrics. Solitude

[@tylernewcomb1013]

Friendzone anthem

[@matbaldwin7408]

Ok let me go into the prince song 1999 because that was when I first noticed the love of my life Really keeping close physical tabs on me lol. I have not wanted to get into this stuff but it does definitely appear that what I must do so let's start with melody just for a second because I have almost zero doubts that I can name a lifelong personal friend of hers who much again to my shock amusement found her way into my life In fact I remember taking her and a mutual friend to eat and of course myself and Monica hit the instant chemistry and the constant back and forth flirting that normally you would Want in a person but like other past lives she would have a tendency to make certain that I knew we would be again. Now melody there the one that I would have voted most likely never forgive me considering she was always who you saw when you hurt one of the army of venus feelings but damn fast forward and lo behold because out of them all I'm definitely blessed to have melody as a rare intimate lifelong personal friend that always will be someone whose views perspectives I hold with tremendous love care respect for and in her own special different unique way she let me know that for the most part I'm ok at what I do but will not let me overlook certain things such as you know what Mike you just now are ready to be very surprised because no matter how I go about this I believe personally that Missy is actually for all intents purposes a original member of our family so she will get to be physically present once this crowd Leaves and boom my home county dump co will be in great force not counting those who I have no reason to not believe in them that as they say might be actually more nonconforming and rebellious than most but that's when if my first crush doesn't appear to me at all in the coming few days rest assured that she is going to be a huge part if the dump co invasion

Why does the word "Solitude" mean?

[@UnknownMan98]

Don't hate me if I'm wrong. If i am not mistaken, solitude means alone. Easily understood if you imagine someone with no one to call friend or family, living a life of solitude.

[@darkestdeath8035]

the state or situation of being alone.

[@minniemouse5207]

Janazíne I'm not sure but I think it's "loneliness"

[@miss._em96]

It means alone, loneliness. I wrote a poem about solitude and use some of the lyrics to this song🖤.
