LOST SOUL
Beau Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanted to stay
Want to stay in my home
I cried all day
Momma wouldn't go to work
To receive the pay
But it's alright she told me
To live and work on a saturday night
When I could be dreamin'
She said she might as well be awake while she is sleeping
Once a lost soul
Waitin' on the dial tone
Operator couldn't console
She wasn't comin' home her place was unknown
Had to go on alone
But it's alright she told me
You are the only reason
My fingers are sore
My eyes are tight but I'm still believin'
I work every day just to see your smile and face in the evening
And when she came home
I'd be so happy I wasn't
Bein' alone listenin' to the radiator screechin'
Counting to ten hoping she'd walk through the door breathin'
And when she came home
I'd be so happy I wasn't
Bein' alone listenin' to the radiator screechin'
Counting to ten hoping she'd walk through the door breathin
The lyrics of Lost Soul depict a poignant tale of a person who once felt lost and alone but found solace in the unwavering love of their mother. The opening lines "Once a lost soul, I wanted to stay, want to stay in my home, I cried all day" convey the singer's despair and reluctance to leave their comfort zone. The next few lines capture the sacrifices made by the mother, who refused to work and be paid for it because her child needed her more. The support and reassurance she provides as she tells her child "You are the only reason to live and work on a Saturday night when I could be dreaming" is a testament to the unshakeable bond between them.
The song then moves on to describe the anxiety and helplessness of separation, as the mother is unable to return home and the singer is forced to come to terms with being alone. The line "But it's alright she told me, My fingers are sore, My eyes are tight but I'm still believing" conveys the strength and determination of the mother, who is willing to endure hardship and fatigue for the sake of her child. The final lines of the song express the joy and relief of the singer when the mother finally returns home, and the shared sense of joy they experience at being together.
Overall, Lost Soul is a moving tribute to the love and sacrifices of a mother, and the enduring bond between parent and child.
Line by Line Meaning
Once a lost soul
I used to feel lost and aimless
I wanted to stay
I preferred to stay in my comfort zone
Want to stay in my home
I didn't want to venture out and explore the world
I cried all day
I was sad and frustrated with my life
Momma wouldn't go to work
My mother stayed at home to take care of me
To receive the pay
She didn't work because she wanted to take care of me instead of earning money
But it's alright she told me
My mother reassured me that everything would be okay
You are the only reason
I was her main motivation and priority
To live and work on a saturday night
She worked on weekends to provide for us
When I could be dreamin'
Instead of resting, she spent her free time working hard
She said she might as well be awake while she is sleeping
She chose to make productive use of her time, even when resting
Waitin' on the dial tone
I was waiting for someone to call me
Operator couldn't console
The person I was waiting for didn't answer their phone and the operator couldn't help me
She wasn't comin' home her place was unknown
I couldn't track down the person I was waiting for
Had to go on alone
I had to move forward without that person
My fingers are sore
My mother's job was demanding
My eyes are tight but I'm still believin'
She remained hopeful and optimistic despite the challenges she faced
I work every day just to see your smile and face in the evening
My mother worked hard to provide for me and bring joy to my life
And when she came home
When my mother returned from work
I'd be so happy I wasn't
I was relieved that she was safe and sound
Bein' alone listenin' to the radiator screechin'
I didn't enjoy being alone in a quiet, cold house
Counting to ten hoping she'd walk through the door breathin'
I anxiously anticipated my mother's safe return home
