LOST SOUL
Kalisia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cold gusts of wind running throughout the desert plain...
Dark clouds choking the sky...
High above the world, Gaâl cries.
He's been there for weeks, alone, searching for himself.
The inner voices were gone now and Nature became silent.
He could feel that God was listening to him, so he started to talk :

"Oh, my God, I am drowning among the others...
Oh, high Lord, all these questions I seek the answers..."

"Your quest is what makes your humanity"
"Our valors have no sense, licence to lawyers. Oh where's the balance ?"
"Mankind will never choose humility"

Life's a quest for serenity, but once you've reached it, It becomes unbearable...

"You're just a piece of Nature
Taken to conscience
You're just a mortal Creature
I master existence"

"I can't find no meaning to what my life should be, my desires are fading..."
"Being is just a part of harmony"
"After death will I see another beginning, another painful destiny ?"
"Dying will take you to reality"

"Lost in the universe, humanity's too small. Were we born without brothers ?"
"Nature has in itself the ones you seek"
"Lord, father of us all, your gifts can't be favors, this creation needs a goal"
"Nature's only a mask through which I speak"

"Mankind shall rise and then realize..."

Mankind is running toward the chasm, hiding its eyes not to see...

"You're just a piece of Nature
Taken to conscience
You're just another Creature




I master existence
To be !"

Overall Meaning

The song "Lost Soul" by Kalisia describes the journey of a man named Gaâl, who is searching for himself in the middle of a desert plain. He has been alone for weeks, listening to the sounds of nature and feeling the presence of God. He questions the purpose of life and wonders if there is any meaning to it. Gaâl talks to God and asks for answers to his questions. He wants to know why mankind is so arrogant and why there is no balance in their values.


God replies, "Your quest is what makes your humanity." He tells Gaâl that life is a quest for serenity, but once you reach it, it becomes unbearable. Gaâl then questions the purpose of his life and talks about his fading desires. God explains that being is just a part of harmony, and death is the only reality. Gaâl feels lost in the universe and wonders if humanity was born without brothers.


God tells him that nature has in itself the ones he's seeking, and that mankind needs to rise and realize their true purpose. The song concludes with the refrain "You're just a piece of Nature, Taken to conscience, You're just another Creature, I master existence, To Be!" indicating that we are a part of nature and need to realize our place in the universe.


The song is a philosophical and introspective piece that addresses the purpose of human existence and our relationship with nature. It is open to interpretation and can be seen as a commentary on human arrogance and our need to find a balance between our desires and the needs of the natural world.
