My Soul
A Colour Cold Black Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go out and cry...
Pray, my baby pray, for my soul
Rotting away
I'm diving into blue
Right down the things we do
For each day is a rape
If only my soul could love my body
Forever more
I'm diving into blue
Right down the things we do
For each day is a rape
I'll drug myself away
I run away
From trust and believe
That slipped through my hands
Like grain of sands
Craving for strength
I dig into myself
Ticking I find
A timebomb of madness
Rise, oh my soul
Flee this stinking body, this goddamn world
If only my soul could love my body
Forever more
I'm diving into blue
Right down the things we do
For each day is a rape
I'll drug myself away
I run away
From trust and believe
That slipped through my hands
Like grain of sands
Craving for strength
I dig into myself
Ticking I find
A timebomb of madness

The lyrics of A Colour Cold Black's song "My Soul" deal with a sense of profound disconnect: the divide between body and soul. The opening lines "Just blood and bones won't make my body/Go out and cry..." sets the tone for the rest of the song: the singer feels as if their physical existence is inadequate for expressing the turmoil within. The repetition of the line "I'm diving into blue" could be interpreted as a yearning for release, as if the blue water is a metaphor for a state of peace, or even death.
The idea of rape being a daily occurrence is a particularly heart-wrenching image used in this song, and suggests that the singer feels their life is being constantly violated in some way. The lyrics "From trust and believe/That slipped through my hands/Like grain of sands" reinforces this idea of the singer feeling helpless and powerless. The line "Ticking I find/A timebomb of madness" implies that the singer feels as if they are on the brink of losing control or breaking down. The final line "If only my soul could love my body/Forever more" is a plea for unity, for the rift between body and spirit to be healed.
