Soul Mate #9
Arena Tina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You say that I'm the only one,
But I know it's just a lie.
Soul mate number nine,
You're living in a fantasy
In your mind.
You think that I don't see,
It's a world of make-believe.
You spin a tangled web,
Just like a fairy tale
It's all in your head.
You promised me the world,
You promise me the sun,
You promise me heaven,
That you're gonna turn it 'round.
Soul mate number nine,
You say that I'm the only one,
But I know it's just a lie.
Soul mate number nine
You're living in a fantasy
In your mind.
Soul mate number nine.
You say you're a grown-up man,
You've got it in control,
Your pockets lined in gold.
That's not what I need from you,
Just remember what you say,
It's only what you do.
You look into my eyes,
You try to hypnotise,
To say that it's forever,
But forever means goodbye.
Soul mate number nine.
Say that I'm the only one,
But I know that's just a lie.
Soul mate number nine,
You're living in a fantasy
In your mind.
Soul mate number nine.
I would have loved you
If you'd just be who you are.
If you just say that you want me.
Let the feeling feel so real,
I feel you coming from the heart.
Soul mate number nine,
Say that I'm the only one,
But I know that's just a lie.
Soul mate number nine,
You're living in a fantasy
In your mind.
The lyrics to "Soul Mate #9" by Tina Arena portray the frustration of being with someone who is not living in reality. The singer is soul mate number nine, the latest in a string of partners who have promised her the world but not delivered. She sees through his illusions and understands that he is not the person he presents himself to be. He is living in a fantasy world of his own creation and unable to face his shortcomings. The singer desires a real connection with him, but recognizes that he is not capable of it.
The lyrics contain a theme of disappointment and unfulfilled promises. The singer has been let down by soul mate number nine, who she believed was her true love. He has promised her everything, but has not followed through with his words. She sees that he is not living in reality, but in a world of his own creation. The singer wants to be with him, but only if he can be true to himself and their relationship.

It's refreshing to see a more 'cheerful' tune from Tina Arena after so many melodramatic and soulful tunes from her 'Burn' days. She is truly a pop queen in her own right, maybe underrated compared to those top vocalists like Celine or Mariah. But she can hold her own and she has her own style.
@Support4MySingers
The second single was a disco track called Dare You To Be Happy. Check it out.
@PassionJo777
Lol check out "I want your body " way back after young talent time days. Whoa great song but wow she copped a lot of crap due to how sexy she is
@michaelmignotte2319
J'adore Tina Arena grande artiste
@TheMorningtrain
How cool to hear her sing a pop dance kind of tune that all they melodramatic stuff. Sometimes we have to go all the way back to YTT to find her singing something upbeat
@Support4MySingers
Her second single from this album is also a disco track, itโs called โDare you to be happyโ. Check it out!
