VNV Nation - Solitary (Signals Version) Lyrics






Set me aflame and cast me free.
Away, you wretched world of tethers.
Through the endless night and day
I have never wanted more.
I always thought that I would stand
Before the faceless name of justice.
Like some law unto myself,
Like a child of God again.

I always thought that I would stand
Before the faceless name of justice.
Like some law unto myself,
Like a child of God again.

And if rain brings winds of change
Let it rain on us forever.
I have no doubt from what I've seen
That I have never wanted more.
With this line I'll mark the past
As a symbol of beginning.
I have no doubt from what I've seen
That I have never wanted more.

In this picture stands a man,
Far away, alone and distant.
Like a solitary field
In some nameless foreign land.
All around him points of light
Start to dim and cease transmitting.
Shadows fell on futile games
And then there was nothing more.

Through the screams of falling steel.
By the light of flares and wisdom.
All the doubts I could not face.
All this time I wanted more.
With a line I'll mark the past
As a symbol of beginning.
To the gods whose names we've lost
And the names who gave in vain.

And if rain brings winds of change
Let it rain on us forever.
I have no doubt from what I've seen
That I have never wanted more.
With this line I'll mark the past
As a symbol of beginning.
I have no doubt from what I've seen
That I have never wanted more.

Set me aflame and cast me free.
Away, you wretched world of tethers.
Through the endless night and day
I have never wanted more.
I always thought that I would stand
Before the faceless name of justice.
Like some law unto myself,
Like a child of God again.

And if rain brings winds of change
Let it rain on us forever.
I have no doubt from what I've seen
That I have never wanted more.
With this line I'll mark the past
As a symbol of beginning.
I have no doubt from what I've seen
That I have never wanted more.

Sever the line to the guilty past,
To the ones who brought us nothing
Spoke of futures brave and proud
And brought only hate and war.
Lined the roads with hollow praise.
Marked the land with paper statues.
Shadows fell on their futile ways
And then there was nothing more.

  1. d.... c....

    I never forget the first time I Heard this live in 2000 opening for Apotygma and this song the DVD or CD machine broke or something and the entire crowd in Ft Lauderdale sang word for word and stomp and dance and this became the song that still to this day stands out the most for me. I was only a fan for a month when I saw them live and since then I have seen them so many times and when this song comes on that intro, that bass kicks in and I jump up and down with so much adrenaline its like a kid getting his favorite treat and I can listen to this song forever......when I get buried this song needs to be on loop in my grave...lol...wake the dead

    d.... c....

    @Jeffrey Spring oh I see....yeah it seems like the laws ever since that time period really made ft Lauderdale a drag to hang out...its changing now but obviously older now so not the same atmosphere. Cool you in the tech world. I see that respectable does some kind of gothic night

    d.... c....

    @david chaves that kind of music is on life support right now. It hasn't innovated enough to get younger fans into the music. Also, for every VNV Nation, there is ten other bands that are absolutely boring to watch live. I went back to listening to progressive metal because at least it's different in every decade.

    d.... c....

    @Jeffrey Spring its unfortunate....great music but I've always been a metal fan so it's there have been some great bands over theast few years I've seen and listen to like JINJER, VOLBEAT, BE'LAKOR, MOL, POWER TRIP

    d.... c....

    @david chaves I seen Volbeat live. They were amazing.

    d.... c....

    @Jeffrey Spring volbeat was incredible live...only seen them once when they played the revolution about 10 years ago

    This is from another dimension, that is why it's posted long a go, but is new, in this reality , a paradox, and not a paradox at the same time XD

    Woah.. VNV Nation, their songs make me tear up. So beautiful! 

    Z.... ....

    Same here. Ronan got me into this whole electro thing actually, but certainly there's no band like them. Feels like there was a deep story behind each of their songs...

    Z.... ....

    Very true! :D

    Z.... ....

    For me October 12, 2004 was/saw the turning point. And it was so good I still tear in nostalgia, a 1st light for us who had not comprehended anything

  19. b.... ....

    The best!!!

  20. C.... J....

    I feel like I should say something about 5:33, but I'm still picking up pieces of my brain from all over the room.

  21. R.... ....

    I listen to this almost everyday. Each time, it sounds new. Like the first time. And a rush of hope, strength, courage, fearlessness follows with the advent of the first beats. The bass is epic. HAIL VNV NATION FOREVER!

  22. �.... �....

    brings back so many memories....

    All the doubts I could not face
    All this time I wanted more.
    With a line I mark the past
    As a symbol of beginning

  23. T.... W....

    I saw them live in Plastique Noir in Duisburg, Western Germany in 1998. On that I bought the EP. I was a great night. The Concert was as small as the club, the concert was as good as the club, but VNV Nation were already so great as today..... I saw them Live at the Blackfield Festival in 2009 ..... Oh what really amazing memories....

  24. Y.... H....

    Wow, i likebit this version!!! <3 And if rain brings winds of change, let it rain on us forever♪♫ I have no doubts from what i've seen, i have never wanted more♪♫
    With this line i'll mark the past as a symbol of beginning♪♫ i have no doubt from what i've seen, i have never wanted more♪♫

  25. V.... ....

    3:10 - one of the Top 10 song part from VNV :D

  26. b.... ....

    The best!!!

  27. T.... ....

    I never heard this version before. Probably the best one for this song.

  28. D.... S....

    I like this version much better than the way it's supposed to be.. it gives the song more of a buildup, which makes everything seem much better.

  29. C.... J....

    It sounds like 100 of the best bands in the world got together and spent 5 years doing a remix of Solitary.

  30. D.... A....

    Best band in the world...any genre.

  31. S.... ....

    I love the begining with the Orchestra type music and how the Vocals Start, VNV Nation is truly one of the greatest bands ever :D

  32. S.... ....

    Amazing, This song is just pure awe....It would be perfect for a Video Game :)

  33. x.... ....

    simply amazing!

  34. P.... ....

    Best version of this song.

  35. C.... ....

    the beginning.. so breathtaking... as always...VNV Nation forever!!!!
