The lyrics to Crossbreed's "Lost Soul" are about the struggle to find one's true self and overcome the negative forces that can keep a person from reaching their potential. The song explores the idea that the soul can become lost or corrupted over time due to various factors such as life experiences, mistakes, and outside influences. The lyrics suggest that it is possible to reclaim one's lost soul, but it requires a concerted effort to let go of the past and embrace a new path forward.
The opening lines of the song express a sense of confusion and uncertainty, as the singer is drifting aimlessly and unsure of which way to turn. The repeated phrase "down under beneath, the soul is lost" emphasizes the idea that the soul has become buried or obscured, perhaps by negative experiences or unhealthy coping mechanisms. The line "now absent minded i don't and i don't like it" suggests that the singer is aware of the problem but struggling to find a way to reconnect with their true self.
As the song progresses, the lyrics suggest that reclaiming one's lost soul requires a willingness to confront one's mistakes and take responsibility for one's actions. The lines "embracing onto the life that was given to you and gripping tasted much time that you've wasted and death will haunt you" suggest that there are consequences to not living up to one's potential, and that the fear of death can serve as a motivating factor to take action. The repeated phrase "will it lead you to fighting off the will to find my soul again" implies that the struggle to reclaim one's lost soul may involve a battle against one's own negative impulses and self-doubt.
Ultimately, the song ends on a note of hope and determination, as the singer declares "i found my lost soul but its all broken down," suggesting that despite the challenges they have faced, they have managed to reconnect with their true self. The final lines of the song serve as a warning to others not to take their second chances for granted, and to live their lives in a way that honors their true selves and their potential.
