So Sorry
O.D.I.L Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the moon was around and we moved to the sound
Of our own romantic song
And I gave you all the gifts that my body had to bear
But this world chewed them up spat them all out
And you acted like you didn't care
Well enough is enough when the going get tough
Well this world is so rough it could steal all of our love
But it could never steal our soul
Hold on love
I can see you now
I can feel your pain
I can see you now
I can feel your pain
It's comin' down like rain
And I'm so sorry
If you should leave me now
I'll sing for you a song
And it won't be a sorry song
It won't be a where did we go wrong
No, I'll sing a song of joy
That remains forever in my soul
Because saw us tonight she carves out
The amount of joy we can hold
If you leave me now
Love, then I must stay, well, I pray we meet again
Another time, another way
This far we filled
Well it must not go cold
And they will never steal our soul
Hold on love
I can see you now
I can feel your pain
I can see you now
I can feel your pain
It's comin' down like rain
And
Hold on love
I can see you now
I can feel your pain
I can see you now
I can feel your pain
It's comin' down like rain
And I'm so sorry
Hold on love
I can see you now
I can feel your pain
I can see you now
I can feel your pain
It's comin' down like rain
I'm so sorry
The lyrics to O.D.I.L’s song So Sorry express regret and wishful thinking about a past relationship that has been damaged by the harsh realities of the world. The first few lines hint at a time when things were simpler, when love was pure and the moon was a romantic backdrop to their relationship. The singer laments that despite their efforts to keep their relationship alive, the world chewed up their love, spat it out, and their lover acted like they didn’t care. The "going got tough" and their love was put on ice, growing cold.
However, despite the hardships they’ve faced, the singer believes that their love is unbreakable. The world may be rough and steal their love, but it can never steal their soul. The rest of the song is dedicated to holding on to their love and the memories that they share. The singer recognizes the pain that their lover is feeling and expresses that they are sorry for the pain that they have caused. If their lover were to leave, the singer promises to sing a song of joy and not a "sorry" or "where did we go wrong" song. Rather, they sing a song that will forever remain in their soul. Additionally, the singer expresses that they hope that they will meet again, another time, another way, and that their love will stay strong, and their soul never be stolen.
The song So Sorry by O.D.I.L, despite its somber tone, is a song of hope, resilience, and eternal love. It teaches us that even in the toughest of times, our love can survive, taking comfort in the memories we created together, and that our souls will never be tarnished. The song tells us to hold on to the love we share, even if everything else goes wrong, because one day we’ll look back and be thankful that we did.

I think I'd have to have lived a long long time ago
I wish we lived in a different time when love was easier and more genuine.
When the moon was around and we moved to the sound
When romance was pure and unadulterated, and we danced to the rhythms of the world around us.
Of our own romantic song
The song of love that only we share and understand.
And I gave you all the gifts that my body had to bear
I gave you everything that I could possibly give with my body, my heart, and my soul.
But this world chewed them up spat them all out
The world took and destroyed everything we had built together.
And you acted like you didn't care
You didn't show me any love or care when everything fell apart.
Well enough is enough when the going get tough
It's time to stop and reassess when things get too hard.
Did we put our love on ice did it get cold
Did we freeze our love, causing it to lose its warmth and passion?
Well this world is so rough it could steal all of our love
The harshness of the world could take away everything we hold dear.
But it could never steal our soul
Our love may falter, but our spirits and connection will always remain.
Hold on love
I'm begging you to hold on and not let go.
I can see you now
I can feel your presence and the weight of your emotions.
It's comin' down like rain
Your sadness and pain are washing over me like a storm.
And I'm so sorry
I deeply regret the pain and hurt that our love has caused.
If you should leave me now
If you decide to walk away from our relationship.
I'll sing for you a song
I'll create a beautiful melody of my love for you.
And it won't be a sorry song
This song won't be one of apology or regret.
It won't be a where did we go wrong
The song won't be about our mistakes and failures.
No, I'll sing a song of joy
Instead, I'll sing a song of the moments of happiness we shared.
That remains forever in my soul
Those moments of joy will always stay with me, even if we are separated.
Because saw us tonight she carves out
The memories of our love will be with me as we move forward.
The amount of joy we can hold
Our happiness together is limitless.
Love, then I must stay, well, I pray we meet again
If we can't be together, I hope we have the chance to reunite in the future.
Another time, another way
In a different time, a different setting, where things may feel easier for us.
This far we filled
We've come so far in our love together.
Well it must not go cold
Our love must not lose its warmth and passion.
And they will never steal our soul
No matter what happens, our love will hold strong.
