Liner Notes

For the #CommentsFirst challenge based on the first few comments I got on this post. They felt Lynchian to me, so I went with a Twin Peaks-inspired song. The first two lines are a quote by the orchid guy. RIP David Lynch

Lyrics

There are things we can't get anywhere
But dream they can be found in other people
There are people who never
Seem to leave their dreams

And maybe our dreams are real
If only in how we feel

There are things we can't get anywhere
But dream they can be found in other people

In the hole of the donut
In the dark of the orchid
In the negative space
Of a close-lipped secret

In the trench of the bullet
In the coconut’s hull
We keep our confidences for the show

In solitaire, in solitaire
For orchids only bloom in hothouse air
In solitaire, in solitaire
Ensemble nous sommes tous solitaire

There are things we cannot know
For once we know them, our interest is unraveled
There are people who never stop
Pulling at loose threads

And maybe the mystery
Was just what it means to be

There are things we cannot know
For once we know them, our interest is unraveled

In the hole of the donut
In the dark of the orchid
In the negative space
Of a close-lipped secret

In the trench of the bullet
In the coconut’s hull
We keep our confidences for the show

In solitaire, in solitaire
We only want to fill the empty chair
In solitaire, in solitaire
Ensemble nous sommes tous solitaire

Ensemble nous sommes tous solitaire
