Intro:
This used to be my home,
But nothin's the same since you left baby
But that's OK, I can handle it,
I got some new friends now!
Some new friends now!

Song:
I sold my soul to the Devil
But the Devil came back for more
I sold my soul to the Devil
But the Devil came back for more
Well I'm in need of some cash
So what is he waiting for

I don't know what it's like
To live in a house like this
I don't know what it's like
To live in a house like this
Just see the curtain's are closed
And the garden's a wilderness
(And the garden's a wilderness)

The bottle's my friend
Since the day you walked out that door
Well the bottle's my friend
Since the day you walked out that door
I've got a head full of blues
But nothin' worth fightin' for

I sold my soul to the Devil
But the Devil came back for more
I sold my soul to the Devil
But the Devil came back for more
Well I'm in need of some cash
So what is he waiting for

I sold my soul to the Devil
The Devil came back for more
I sold my soul to the Devil
Devil came back for more
Well I'm in need of some cash
So what is he waiting for

I sold my soul to the Devil
Devil came back for more
Sold my soul to the Devil
Devil came back for more
Well I'm in need of some cash
So what is he waiting for





What's he waiting for (x4)

Overall Meaning

The song "Sold My Soul" by Gare du Nord is a melancholic contemplation of the consequences of selling one's soul to the devil. The opening lines of the song suggest a personal loss, as the singer laments the absence of someone they cared for but admits to having found solace in new friendship. The narrative then turns to the central theme of the song: the consequences of selling one's soul in exchange for something, in this case, cash. The repetition of the line, "I sold my soul to the Devil, but the Devil came back for more" creates a sense of inevitability and fatalism, as if the bargain made cannot be undone.


The singer's sense of resignation is further emphasized by the repetition of the lines, "Well, I'm in need of some cash, so what is he waiting for?" suggesting that the singer is resigned to their fate and waiting for the devil to return to collect what's owed. The song's melancholic mood is further enhanced by the imagery of a wilderness-like garden and closed curtains, emphasizing the sense of isolation and loss.


Overall, "Sold My Soul" is a haunting meditation on the consequences of making a deal with the devil, illustrating the inescapable consequences of such a bargain.
