about

“Solitude” is a cover of the Black Sabbath ballad from Master of Reality. Representing depression, the fourth stage of grief, I unearthed this song at the onset of the pandemic. I was in a terrible episode of melancholy and listening it made me feel seen and understood. Consuming it on repeat for days, I felt like I was living inside of it.

lyrics

My name it means nothing
My fortune is less
My future is shrouded in dark wilderness
Sunshine is far away, clouds linger on
Everything I possessed – now they are gone

O where can I go to and what can I do?
Nothing can please me only thoughts are of you
You just laughed when I begged you to stay
I've not stopped crying since you went away

The world is a lonely place – you're on your own
Guess I will go home – sit down and moan.
Crying and thinking is all that I do
Memories I have remind me of you
