Red Sea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're lying awake in bed
You thought it was easy
To ignore what was said
Your everything changes and
Your mind's in the red
There stands a man with eyes of fire
Sayin' "leave the world you know behind
It's gonna blow your mind"
Soul shaker, soul shaker
Fire in your brain
Drivin' you insane
Soul shaker, heart breaker
It's gonna bring you to your knees
Satisfaction guaranteed
Tonight, tonight
So free your mind
The rhythm, it feels so right
Your eyes were burnin' from the first rays of light
The soul shaker's comin' and it's your turn tonight
Don't bite the hand that lights the fuse
The time has come for you to choose
Turn or burn, black or white
You know it feels so right
Soul shaker, soul shaker
Fire in your brain
Drivin' you insane
Soul shaker, heart breaker
Gonna bring you to your knees
Satisfaction guaranteed
Tonight, tonight
Technicoloured smoke screen visions clouding up your mind
Trying to remind you of the world you've left behind
Soul shaker, heart breaker
Gonna bring you to your knees
Soul shaker, heart breaker
Satisfaction guaranteed
Soul shaker, heart breaker
Yeah, you got me on my knees
Soul shaker, heart breaker
Yeah, you got me on my knees
Soul shaker, heart breaker
Gonna bring you to your knees
Satisfaction guaranteed
The lyrics of Red Sea's "Soulshaker" speak to the transformative power of music and its ability to transport a person out of their daily life and into a heightened state of being. The song begins with the image of a person lying awake in bed, unable to push aside the thoughts and emotions that have been stirred up within them. They thought it would be easy to ignore what was said, but now everything has changed and their mind is overwhelmed. It's in this state that they encounter the soul shaker, a man with eyes of fire who encourages them to leave the world behind and allow their mind to be blown. The lyrics suggest that this experience will be intense and potentially overwhelming, but also deeply satisfying and transformative.
In some interpretations, the soul shaker could represent music itself, or a performer who is able to channel and transmit the power of music to their audience. The references to rhythm and the intense sensations experienced by the listener suggest that the song is describing a moment of musical ecstasy, where the barriers between the self and the world are momentarily dissolved. The song also speaks to the importance of making choices and not being afraid to take risks in pursuit of personal growth and self-discovery.
Line by Line Meaning
It's long after midnight
It's very late at night
You're lying awake in bed
You're unable to sleep and instead lying awake in bed
You thought it was easy
You believed it was simple
To ignore what was said
To disregard what someone said
Your everything changes and
Everything about you is changing and
Your mind's in the red
You're stressed and overwhelmed
There stands a man with eyes of fire
An intense man is present
Looking through your heart's desire
Examining what you truly want
Sayin' leave the world you know behind
Encouraging you to abandon your familiar life
It's gonna blow your mind
It will surprise and impress you
Soul shaker, soul shaker
A person or thing that stimulates the soul
Fire in your brain
Intense and passionate thoughts captivating your mind
Drivin' you insane
Causing you to go crazy
Soul shaker, heart breaker
An individual who excites and breaks hearts
It's gonna bring you to your knees
It will humble and overpower you
Satisfaction guaranteed
You will thoroughly enjoy it and be fulfilled
Tonight, tonight
This is happening tonight
So free your mind
Clear your thoughts and relax your mind
The rhythm, it feels so right
The beat and tempo of the music is perfect
Your eyes were burnin' from the first rays of light
You are excited and eager
The soul shaker's comin' and it's your turn tonight
The exciting thing is coming and impacting you tonight
Don't bite the hand that lights the fuse
Don't hurt the person that activated your emotions
The time has come for you to choose
Now is the moment for you to decide
Turn or burn, black or white
You have to choose between two polar decisions
You know it feels so right
You're confident in your decision
Technicoloured smoke screen visions clouding up your mind
You're overthinking and confused
Trying to remind you of the world you've left behind
Attempting to jog your memory about your previous life
Yeah, you got me on my knees
You left me speechless and at your mercy

This was an excellent album. I'm glad it has finally been reissued, and the remastering is a bonus.
Don Tocher
Loved this album for years - one of my absolute favourites. Such a shame Red Sea only produced one album. Such great talent & what a message!
FireChild
Thanks for remastering this masterpiece of Metal. A perfect demonstration of good bad ass rock 'n' roll. Unfortunatly too late in time to become famous with this style of music. 1994 Grunge was already everywhere. Its a pleasure to put it back on today and listen to it at maximum volume. Rock on.
Mr. D.
P.S. would be great to see this album on Spotify.
