Just My Soul Responding
Amber Run Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the stars in the sky fade into one
Oh, and I wanna be here when times are hard
When the beating of your heart is like a drum
But every day
I found new ways to hurt you
And every day
We took our sides
And it's just my soul responding
To the heavy heart I'm holding
And it's just my soul responding
To the love you took from me
Oh, and I wanna be here when morning comes
When the stars in the sky fade into one
Oh, and I wanna be here when times are hard
When the beating of your heart is like a drum
But every day
I found new ways to hurt you
And every day
We took our sides
And it's just my soul responding
To the heavy heart I'm holding
And it's just my soul responding
To the love, to the love, you took from me
And it's just my soul responding
To the heavy heart I'm holding
And it's just my soul responding
To the love, to the love, you took from me
And it's just my soul responding
To the heavy heart I'm holding
And it's just my soul responding
To the love, to the love, you took from me
The song "Just My Soul Responding" by Amber Run is about a person who wants to be there for someone they care about through good times and bad. However, they find themselves hurting that person every day and taking sides, leading to the loss of love. The lyrics express regret and a longing for the possibility of a better future, but the emotional pain they carry weighs heavily on their soul.
The lines "And it's just my soul responding, to the heavy heart I'm holding" suggests that the singer is carrying a lot of emotional baggage, causing them to act in ways that hurt those around them. The repetition of the phrase "just my soul responding" highlights the internal struggle the person is going through, and how their actions are not necessarily a result of a lack of love or care for the other person.
The chorus, with its repeated lines and rising intensity, captures the turmoil and intensity of complex emotions. The poem’s pacing and word choice add to the overall mood and sentiment of the song, and the singer's voice tells a story of hurt, regret, and hope.

Oh, and I wanna be here when morning comes
I desire to be present and awake to witness the arrival of the morning
When the stars in the sky fade into one
As the stars in the sky merge, I desire to be here
Oh, and I wanna be here when times are hard
I aspire to be present during challenging and difficult moments
When the beating of your heart is like a drum
When your heart is racing and pounding like a drum, I want to be present
But every day
However, each day
I found new ways to hurt you
I discovered fresh methods to harm and inflict pain upon you
And every day
Each new day
We took our sides
We allocated ourselves to opposing sides
And it's just my soul responding
It is merely my innermost being reacting
To the heavy heart I'm holding
To the weighty and burdensome sorrow that I bear
To the love you took from me
To the affection that you snatched away from me
And it's just my soul responding
It is merely my innermost being reacting
To the love, to the love, you took from me
To the affection, to the affection that you removed from me
And it's just my soul responding
It is merely my innermost being reacting
To the heavy heart I'm holding
To the weighty and burdensome sorrow that I bear
To the love, to the love, you took from me
To the affection, to the affection that you removed from me
And it's just my soul responding
It is merely my innermost being reacting
To the heavy heart I'm holding
To the weighty and burdensome sorrow that I bear
To the love, to the love, you took from me
To the affection, to the affection that you removed from me

Oh, e eu quero estar aqui quando a manhã chegar
Quando as estrelas no céu se dissipar em um
Oh, e eu quero estar aqui quando os tempos forem difíceis
Quando a batida do seu coração for como um tambor
Mas a cada dia eu encontrei novas maneiras de prejudicá-lo
Mas a cada dia nós pegamos nossos sinais
E isso é apenas a minha alma respondendo
Pelo feliz coração segurando
E isso é apenas a minha alma respondendo
Pelo amor que você tirou de mim
Oh, e eu quero estar aqui quando a manhã chegar
Quando as estrelas no céu se dissipar em um
Oh, e eu quero estar aqui quando os tempos forem difíceis
Quando a batida do seu coração for como um tambor
Mas a cada dia eu encontrei novas maneiras de prejudicá-lo
Mas a cada dia nós pegamos nossos sinais
E isso é apenas a minha alma respondendo
Pelo feliz coração segurando
E isso é apenas a minha alma de respondendo pelo amor
Pelo amor que você tirou de mim
E isso é apenas a minha alma respondendo
Pelo feliz coração segurando
E isso é apenas a minha alma respondendo
O amor, pelo amor que você tirou de mim
E isso é apenas a minha alma respondendo
Pelo feliz coração segurando
E isso é apenas a minha alma respondendo
O amor, para o amor, que você tirou de mim

So mad that these boys aren't getting the recognition they deserve. They have a really soulful and harmonic sound. And it can help a lot of people, I want to see them down here in Australia one day

This is the kind of song that makes you feel so broken and at the same time makes you feel like you have wings.

This was the second song that I listened to after a friend suggested that I listen to 'I Found'. I was already in love when I heard the first song.. This one just convinced me that I really need to listen to this band that is absolutely heaven-sent..

I found this song and Amber Run on the same day I discovered 'Agape' by Bear's Den. It was also the same week I found 'The Intro' by XX.
