LOST SOUL
P-Mayer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothin' seems to be workin'
I really just wanna go back home
Here's the story of a lost soul
I don't even wanna live anymore
Grab onto life till' I hit the floor
If this is life, where's the exit door
I don't know so just let me live my life, yeah
But the pain keeps comin' and I can't stop it
So I'll keep movin' till' I start droppin'
I don't need to be corrected
Why won't you have any faith in me
I'm trying my best but I keep losing
Everywhere I go is a like a battle I've lost
So, let me live till' my time runs out
My life is full of fighting bouts
Every round I lose, so I'll die tonight and fight
I don't know what you want from me
The devil on my shoulder say he's there for me
He's lyin' to me, said I'll be dead by tomorrow evening
Oh no, I'm feelin' pretty low
My heart's feeling cold, I think I'm laying in the snow
The loner with a lonely heart, I think I'm all alone
Oh, woah
The tales of a lost soul
(The tales of a lost soul)
Life is full of reasons
But I don't got a reason
And I don't wanna reason
So just give me a reason
Too real
This is too real
I can't feel, no I can't feel
Surreal, what an ordeal
I can't feel, no I can't feel
In P-Mayer's song Lost Soul, the singer expresses their struggle with feeling lost and hopeless in life. They have tried to make things work, but nothing seems to be going right for them. They long to go back home where things were simpler and easier. The singer feels like a lost soul, one who is aimlessly wandering through life without direction or purpose. They do not even have the desire to live anymore because life feels like a constant battle that they are always losing. The pain just keeps coming and they cannot stop it, so they will keep moving forward until they can no longer go on.
The singer expresses frustration with others who do not believe in them and their abilities. They are trying their best but keep losing, leaving them feeling defeated and unsupported. They ask to be allowed to live their life and make their own choices, even if they may not be the right ones. The devil on their shoulder tempts them with false promises but they know they cannot trust him. The singer feels alone and isolated, with a cold heart and no sense of belonging. They do not have a reason to keep going, but they also do not want to give up yet. This song portrays a raw and honest depiction of a person struggling with mental health issues and the complexities of life.

He's lyin' to me, said I'll be dead by tomorrow evening
The voice is not telling me the truth; it is saying I will be dead soon
Oh no, I'm feelin' pretty low
I am feeling especially bad
My heart's feeling cold, I think I'm laying in the snow
I feel a sense of emptiness and isolation
The loner with a lonely heart, I think I'm all alone
I am alone and feel disconnected from everyone and everything around me
The tales of a lost soul
These are the stories of someone trying to find their way
(The tales of a lost soul)
Again, this is an indication that these are stories of someone feeling lost
Life is full of reasons
There are many explanations for why things happen in life
But I don't got a reason
I cannot find any explanation for what is happening to me
And I don't wanna reason
I don't want to try to find an explanation anymore, it's pointless
So just give me a reason
Some sort of explanation or justification that might make what I'm going through make sense
Too real
The reality of my situation is hitting me hard
This is too real
The situation is even more real than I ever could have imagined
I can't feel, no I can't feel
I am numb and unable to experience emotions
Surreal, what an ordeal
This is like a nightmare I can't wake up from
I can't feel, no I can't feel
Once again, I am unable to feel anything
