LOST SOUL
Pete Murray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it slowly goes from black then into white
I know if you watch the time
Leaves you standing for a moment in life
I know I've been through black and white
I know I'll put up a fierce fight
I know I lost my soul
So I wait to seize the day
With a clouded mind
And a hell of a load to pay
I find that if you know your way
You'll get out of this mess
I know I've been through black and white
I know I'll put up a fierce fight
I know I lost my soul
I know that I lost my soul
I know there comes a time
To believe in yourself
And grow in confidence
Stop hiding behind the door
Like everyone else
Just get out and do your best
I know I've been through black and white
I know I'll put up a fierce fight
I know I lost my soul
I know that I lost my soul
I know that I'll find my soul
The song "Lost Soul" by Pete Murray is about the complexities of life and the struggle to find oneself when feeling lost. The lyrics of the song seem to suggest that the singer feels trapped in a cycle of darkness and clarity, constantly shifting between the two. The singer is aware of the passage of time and how it can leave one stuck in a moment, but also recognizes the resilience and strength needed to face life's challenges. The last verse urges the listener to believe in themselves and have confidence in their abilities to overcome adversity.
The idea of the duality of life is a recurring theme in the song. The use of black and white imagery represents the highs and lows of life, with the singer acknowledging that they have experienced both. The line "watch the time" implies that time moves forward even when one is not ready to move on, resulting in moments of standing still. However, the singer encourages the listener to find their way out of this struggle, to "seize the day" despite a "clouded mind" and "a hell of a load to pay." In the end, the song reaffirms hope that one can find their soul and regain their sense of self.

Sometimes I watch my life
Occasionally I take a moment to reflect on my life
And it slowly goes from black then into white
I can see the contrast between the good and bad times I have experienced
I know if you watch the time
Observing the passing of time
Leaves you standing for a moment in life
Allows you to pause and reflect on your current situation
So I wait to seize the day
I am patiently waiting for the right moment to take action
With a clouded mind
Despite feeling confused and uncertain
And a hell of a load to pay
Bearing a heavy burden or consequence
I find that if you know your way
Realizing that having a plan and direction is key
You'll get out of this mess
You can overcome your problems and challenges
I know there comes a time
I understand that there is a point in time
To believe in yourself
Where you must have faith in yourself
And grow in confidence
Develop a stronger sense of self-assurance
Stop hiding behind the door
Cease avoiding your problems
Like everyone else
No longer conforming to societal norms and expectations
Just get out and do your best
Just try your hardest and do what you can
I know that I'll find my soul
I am confident that I will rediscover the essence of who I am
