LOST SOUL
Beach Baby Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, when sunday morning calls for me
Oh, and I kick this heaven and I get some peace
Oh, I can hear my thoughts in the walls and ceiling
Woah, I remind myself I'm a lost soul dreamin'
Cuz I don't feel like a man should too, when it's love locked and loaded with sweet
dreams of you
I don't go, where you go
I don't know, what you know, but I will do soon, yeah I will do soon

Ah, take a walk outside for some time away
Oh, With a man I meet for staring game
Ah, and he clicks and stops and he starts to say
Woah, just keep on walking, keep your lost soul moving
Cuz I don't feel like a man should too,
When it's, love locked and loaded with sweet dreams of you
I don't go, where you go
I don't know, what you know, but I will do soon, yeah I will do soon
And I could,
And I would,
Cuz you've been nothing but proof to me
But I will,
and I should,
forever and eternally
But I don't,
and I won't
cuz I'm waiting on something, you see
Oh god, no no
No I don't know what it all means
Cuz I don't feel like, wooooo,
no I don't feel like, wooooo
No I don't feel like a man should too,
when it's love locked and loaded with sweet dreams of you

I don't go, where you go
I don't know, what you know, but I will do soon, yeah I will do soon

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Beach Baby’s song Lost Soul touch on themes of disconnection and confusion, particularly in a romantic sense. The lines “Oh, when Sunday morning calls for me/Oh, and I kick this heaven and I get some peace” suggest a desire for solitude or escape, while the following line “Oh, I can hear my thoughts in the walls and ceiling” communicates a sense of introspection. The chorus of the song, “I don't go where you go/I don't know what you know, but I will do soon, yeah I will do soon” speaks to the distance between two individuals in a relationship, with the singer feeling behind or left out in some way. The repetition of “cuz I don't feel like a man should too” adds an air of insecurity or inadequacy to the singer’s feelings.

In the second verse, the singer takes a walk with a man who tells him to keep moving, suggesting that moving forward is the best course of action even if it’s difficult. The lines “And I could, and I would/Cuz you've been nothing but proof to me” indicate that the singer has romantic feelings for someone, but is holding back for some reason. The final lines of the song, “Cuz I'm waiting on something, you see/Oh god, no no/No I don't know what it all means/Cuz I don't feel like, wooooo” once again invoke a sense of confusion and uncertainty, with the singer unsure of what to do next.

Overall, Lost Soul seems to be a song about feeling disconnected from someone or something, and trying to figure out how to move forward despite those feelings. The singer is introspective but also unsure of themselves, and the song leaves the listener with a sense of ambiguity and open-endedness.
