1) Lost Ye… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least two artists using the name Lost Years:
1) Lost Years is Magnus Larson from Avesta, Sweden. His enthusiasm for the 1980s, red wine and collecting Roland synthesizers has landed him a permanent spot on the Rosso Corsa Records roster. His music ranges from charming surprises to soundtracks for bad-ass newscasts. Both of these different sounds remain cohesive within the Lost Years aesthetic through the use of real 1980 synthesizers. Magnus has been professionally making 1980s-inspired music since 2008. Before he started collecting Roland synthesizers, Magnus spent his time playing guitar in the 80s punk and 90s hardcore scenes.
2) Lost Years is an alternative/punk rock band from Indiana, USA, formed by three friends in 2010. Since then the group has released one Acoustic LP through Capeside Records which led to Lost Years winning the Ernie Ball Battle of The Bands Acoustic Basement and being featured on the Indianapolis date of the 2013 Vans Warped Tour. In addition, Lost Years have released three full length records including the new album ‘Wish You Weren’t Here’, released in February 2023.

I've Still Got a Soul Left to Lose
Lost Years Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Floor boards, a bible in the attic that I don't
Read anymore and I think it's time I let you
Know that all the love in life fades away but
Some days I feel okay and I think it's time I
Let you know that. I start the day as my hands
Shake. Pray to God for better days but I know
My soul is sinking like a stone. You can't
Left to say but these growing pains are tearing
At my bones. Oh, I've got nothing left to give
And I can't promise you rose kid but you can
Have every piece left of me. She said said to
Herself as she walked away "I'll never fall in
Love again" How perfectly fitting for you. As
I'm sitting at home and I'm drinking alone and
The whiskey it starts to sink in and you, you
Start to sink in. Oh, I've got nothing left to
Give and I can't promise you rose kid but you
Can have every piece left of me.
The lyrics to Lost Years's song "I've Still Got a Soul Left to Lose" are a poignant and deeply personal reflection on the struggles of life and love. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, revealing the singer's hidden stash of a bullet and a bottle, as well as a neglected bible in the attic. The melancholy theme of fading love is introduced, with the singer acknowledging that some days are better than others. It's clear that the weight of the world is heavy on his shoulders, starting each day with trembling hands and a prayer for respite.
As the song progresses, the full extent of the singer's emotional pain becomes apparent. He's mired in despair, feeling as though his soul is sinking like a stone. He recognises that pretending everything is fine when there's nothing left to say is pointless, and the growing pains of life are taking a toll on him. The middle section of the song is a reference to a past relationship, with the singer lamenting the fact that he has nothing left to give to his former partner. He can't promise her anything more than what he already is, but he's willing to offer her every last piece of himself.
The final lines of the song are an acknowledgement of the toll that this sadness takes on a person's mental state. As he sits alone and drinks whiskey it begins to sink in, and the weight of the past relationship begins to take over. It's a poignant and powerful song about love, loss, and the struggle to keep moving forward even when everything seems hopeless.
