Solitude at the Mandarin Oriental Lounge Bar Lyrics

Whiskey in my glass, the ice slowly melts

I trace the rim, but it doesn't help

Golden lights flicker off the bar

I'm here, but I feel so far

I watch the bubbles rise, swirl and fade

Like the dreams I had, now just a haze

The saxophone plays, soft and low

But there's something I don't know

Everyone's smiling, the night feels alive

But I can't seem to catch that vibe

They're lost in the moment, I'm lost in me

In this room full of joy, I can't feel free

The pianist sways, fingers touch the keys

Like he's dancing with the melodies

Couples laugh, clinking their drinks

But I'm stuck in my thoughts, on the brink

A woman in red, her perfume in the air

But her laughter feels light, I can't seem to care

I glance around, but it all feels the same

I'm searching for something, I can't name

Everyone's smiling, the night feels alive

But I can't seem to catch that vibe

They're lost in the moment, I'm lost in me

In this room full of joy, I can't feel free

What am I missing? What's out of place?

Is it the silence behind my face?

I've got the drink, I've got the view

But something deeper's breaking through

Maybe it's the quiet I try to deny

Or the weight of questions I can't clarify

I look for answers in the music's flow

But it only echoes what I don't know

Everyone's smiling, the night carries on

But my peace is somewhere gone

Saxophone lingers, and I just sit

Alone with my thoughts, in the midst of it.
