Lost Souls
Portrayal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Suffocation sold to rust
There's no way out for us
They never take, never turn, never never run
In the hollows where the devil takes another gun
They're falling out of love
Broken hearts from all their trouble times
And you save the lost souls and the
Broken hearts from all their trouble times
When no-one's around
You could turn this all to dust
Separation sold for lust
There's no way out for us
They never break, never learn, never never run
All the horrors that the devil makes without a sun
There's no way out alone
And you save the lost souls and the
Broken hearts from all their trouble times
And you save the lost souls and the
Broken hearts from all their trouble times
When no-one's around
The opening lines of Portrayal's song "Lost Souls" paint a bleak picture of a world that is devoid of hope. The first line "You could turn this all to dust" sets the tone for the rest of the song, hinting at the fragility of life and the ease with which everything can crumble. The next line "Suffocation sold to rust" emphasizes the suffocating nature of this world, where people are reduced to nothing but rust. The third line "There's no way out for us" conveys a feeling of helplessness, suggesting that the characters in the song are trapped in this bleak world with no escape.
The verses contain a sense of desperation and resignation. The lines "They never take, never turn, never never run" suggest that the people in this world have given up on hope and are content to simply exist. The phrase "In the hollows where the devil takes another gun" paints a picture of a desolate and dangerous place where the devil himself resides. The line "They're falling out of love" suggests that even in the midst of all this despair, people are still capable of loving, but it is a love that is fading away.
The chorus provides a glimmer of hope in an otherwise bleak song. The repetition of the line "And you save the lost souls and the broken hearts from all their trouble times" suggests a savior figure who is capable of redeeming those who are lost and broken. The phrase "When no one's around" highlights the isolation and loneliness of the characters in the song, and how the savior figure is the only one who can offer them comfort.
