LOST SOUL
Anger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lord... holy lord in the sky
won´t you set my soul free
and leave me to die

now... i feel the coldness of death
watch pictures of my life
as i take my last breath
i feel the coldness of death
as i take my last breath

i ... can see light at the end
can hear someone´s call as
i take a deep fall

now... am i dead or alive
i can live on the outside
and be long dead inside





i can see light at the end
as i take a deep fall

Overall Meaning

In Anger's song Lost Soul, the lyrics depict a person's desperation for freedom from their current state of being. The use of religious language, such as "holy lord in the sky," suggests that this person is seeking guidance from a higher power to alleviate their pain. They ask for their soul to be set free and to be left to die, indicating that they no longer wish to live in their current state of misery.


As the song progresses, the individual reflects on their life, seeing images of their past through their mind's eye. They feel the coldness of death and perceive a light at the end, possibly indicating a near-death experience. The chorus repeats, with the person questioning whether they are dead or alive and feeling as though they are long dead inside, despite their physical existence.


The ambiguity of the song's ending leaves the listener to question whether the person has actually died or if they are experiencing a spiritual awakening. Perhaps the lyrics also suggest a metaphorical death and rebirth, where the person is shedding their old self and emerging anew.
