"Part 2"
*
Weak hunts find your hiding places
The ones with strong hold tell where it is
Weekends are the times when we can recover
The weekends need to weak things to told
*
People say machines don't have a soul
But my car, she was born a lady
The british navy sailors ?
*
? at night
Help me love this January cold
*
The mission gets ?
And she's got ?
*
And in the evening we retire
To let our brains desire ? thugs
If by the full your planting diamonds
The come the springtime you will have gold rings
*
If you ride bow of sinking ship
The taste of salts, the story that you tell
*
But all my friends are islands
My family is what you don't see down below
*
? infiltration
? metaphore
By my time I'll keep on singing
This ? anniversary's gift

The song "Part 2" by Bars of Gold is a thought-provoking and metaphorical piece that delves deep into the struggles a person faces while trying to find their true self. The song opens with the artist stating that it is easier for weaker individuals to hide in the open while stronger ones show the hiding places. The lyric seems to suggest that individuals with weaknesses are more vulnerable, and hiding becomes an instinctual thing for them. In contrast, people with stronger beliefs and convictions expose and reveal their hiding places, making them more apparent to the world.
Throughout the song, the artist makes various references to things that have souls and those that do not. The line "people say machines don't have a soul, but my car, she was born a lady" suggests that even inanimate objects have a personality that can be felt by the owner. The reference to the British Navy sailors in the same verse is not clear but is possibly a way of indicating the depth of the artist's connection to the object/person.
The song also explores themes of identity, determination, and resilience. It encourages the listener to persevere through the hard times, planting the seeds of strength and determination. When springtime comes, it will bring gold rings, a metaphor for success achieved through hard-work and perseverance.
