Where Is My Soul
Finn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wick in the candle
What lies beneath
Look in the shadows
And the spaces in between
A vision ghosted
Appearing on my screen

Soul, where is my soul
Where is my soul

I seek contentment
I'm acting still
All airs and graces
With a smile before you kill
Hold back the hostile crowd
Before they trample you down

Soul, where is my soul
Where is my soul

I'll go up
With my conscience clean
Down below
They're looking for me
And I know
You've got my soul

Oh, holy ancient
I'll smoke you up
I'll take your wisdom
And I'll turn it into dust
You fill my ashtray
The one I've come to trust

Soul, where is my soul
Where is my soul
Soul, where is my soul
Where is my soul

Soul, you've lost control
Of all you've had




Soul, where is my soul
Your will so bad

Overall Meaning

The song "Where Is My Soul" by the Finn Brothers is a reflective and introspective piece that ponders the state of the soul. The opening lines use the metaphor of a wick in a candle to symbolize the hidden aspects of oneself, "what lies beneath." The next line, "look in the shadows and the spaces in between," encourages introspection and self-reflection. The line "a vision ghosted, appearing on my screen" suggests a spiritual or metaphysical encounter, heightening the tension around the lost soul.


The chorus, "soul, where is my soul," repeats throughout the song as a desperate plea and a question seeking answers. The singer is longing for contentment, but the allusions to "acting still" and "airs and graces" suggest they feel fake or insincere. The second verse introduces the idea of an angry or hostile crowd with the line "hold back the hostile crowd before they trample you down." This line could suggest a need for self-protection in a world that can be unforgiving.


The bridge of the song contrasts the singer's morality with the fear of being caught. "I'll go up with my conscience clean/Down below they're looking for me/And I know you've got my soul" suggests that even though the singer knows someone is looking for them, they are morally confident in themselves. The final verse directly addresses the soul, "soul you've lost control of all you've had/your will so bad." The singer implies that their soul is out of control, leading them astray.
