Lyrics & Translation

Learning a language through music is a fantastic journey, and Tame Impala's "Solitude Is Bliss" offers a great starting point. The lyrics are clear and repetitive, making it easier to pick up new vocabulary and phrases related to feelings and self-reflection. What makes this song special is its universal theme of finding comfort in being alone, expressed through vivid and imaginative language that can inspire you to express your own thoughts in a new tongue.

[English]

Cracks in the pavement underneath my shoe

I care less and less about it and less about you

No one else around to look at me

So I can look at my shadow as much as I please

All the kicks that I can't compare to

Making friends like they're all supposed to

You will never come close to how I feel

You will never come close to how I feel

Space around me where my soul can breathe

Off-guard body that my mind can leave

Nothing else matters, I don't care what I miss

Company's okay, solitude is bliss

There's a party in my head

And no one is invited

And you will never come close to how I feel

You will never come close to how I feel

Movement doesn't flow

Quite like it does when I'm alone

I'll be the one who's free

You and all your friends can watch me

Today

(Don't ask me how you're supposed to feel)

You will never come close to how I feel

You will never come close to how I feel

You will never come close to how I feel

You will never come close to how I feel
