Lost Souls
Nneka Lyrics

Yes, thank you very much, often back
Expressing gratitude and acknowledging past experiences

I hope you are listening
Desiring for the listener's attention and understanding

I hope you are enjoying it
Wishing for the listener's pleasure and satisfaction

The next song is called, 'Lost Souls'
Introducing the title of the song and its theme

You know, the eye is the lamp of the body
Highlighting the significance of perception and understanding

And if the eyes are not good
If one lacks clarity and insight

Then you have no light in your body
Their whole being is devoid of illumination

Your eyes are bad, you have darkness within
Their perspective is clouded with negativity

So many things that we ignore in life
Acknowledging the tendency to overlook important aspects of existence

The truth, the uncomfortable truth
Referring to the harsh realities we often avoid

And this song is to remind you
The purpose of the song is to bring these truths to light

No matter how hard it is, to see the truth
Facing the sometimes difficult reality

Or to be truthful to somebody, you need
Being honest and genuine with others

You got to get over it, yeah
Overcoming obstacles and challenges

Get over your shadows
Moving past personal insecurities and doubts

Show love, spread love
Expressing and sharing love with others

Make love, you know? See love
Embracing love in all its forms

And living life every day, waking up, breathing
Appreciating the beauty of everyday existence

Nature, everything about our existence, yeah
Recognizing the interconnectedness of our lives with the natural world

Listen up, listen up, listen up, yes
Urging the listener to pay attention and listen closely

When I look into your eyes
Observing the listener intently

All I do see is your lost souls
Perceiving their inner struggle and confusion

Scared in the midst of roaring loud madness
Feeling fear and uncertainty amidst chaos

You utter the crossroad, that got wild
Expressing the overwhelming choices and challenges faced

It's a pity how far one has to go
Expressing regret for the difficult journey one must undertake

Without looking back to being grateful, oh
Neglecting to appreciate the blessings and progress made

You despise, and oversee humble days, yeah
Disregarding and neglecting humble beginnings

It's a pity you think you made it all by yourself
Regretting the arrogance and lack of recognition for support received

Because you, you used to shine
Highlighting a previous state of brilliance and radiance

In the darkness like a twilight
Bringing light and hope in difficult times

You were once a child
Recalling a time of innocence and vulnerability

But now, now you're grown old
Referring to the loss of youthful optimism and enthusiasm

Used to swim on the surface
Existing superficially and without depth

But now, you've been taking a dive down deep
Exploring the depths of one's being and experiences

You were awake and observing
Being aware and perceptive

But now, you have fallen asleep
Becoming indifferent and unaware

You avoid confrontation to your, your innermost
Avoiding facing one's true self

You paint a lie with the truth and for you
Deceiving oneself by distorting reality

You had made your tossed
Accepting the consequences of one's actions

Can't you see what you have done, oh my soul
Questioning the individual's awareness of their actions

Can't you feel what you have caused, no, no, no, no
Challenging them to recognize the impact of their choices

Recognized your mistake and note it out
Acknowledging and learning from one's errors

Stand a test and accept you're a hypocrite
Facing scrutiny and admitting one's own hypocrisy

Bring back legitimacy to this music
Restoring authenticity and sincerity to the art form

Human is to be got
Emphasizing the inherent flaws and complexities of being human

You, you used to shine
Remembering a time of radiance and brilliance

In the darkness like a star
Illuminating and standing out in difficult times

You were once a child
Reflecting on a time of innocence and vulnerability

But now, now you're grown old
Acknowledging the loss of youthful innocence and optimism

All those road different highway
Referring to the various paths one can take in life

Once precipice, humble and respective
Previously characterized by humility and respect

But now, you′re nothing, can just stop your riches
Feeling empty and unable to find fulfillment in material wealth

In your good-luck, you are stuck
Feeling trapped despite external success

All those road, different highway
Highlighting the multitude of life's choices

Once precipice, humble and respective
Previously characterized by humility and respect

But now, you're nothing, can just stop your riches
Feeling insignificant and unable to find satisfaction in material wealth

In your good-luck, you are fucked
Feeling trapped and unsatisfied despite external blessings

You, you used to shine
Reiterating a past state of radiance and brilliance

In the darkness like a star
Exuding brightness and hope in challenging times

You were once a child
Recalling an earlier period of innocence and vulnerability

But now, now you are grown, old
Acknowledging the loss of childlike wonder and zest for life
