Amalgamation
SOiL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've watched my eyes grow so damn old
I've felt my eyes turn wrong side out just to see
Just to see what's right
All I need is a voice to say you will, say you will
All I needed was something real, something real
37 stitches and I'm still doing fine, I'm doing fine
With broken wings I'm still my own
There's more than just myself that feels like I do, like I do
My isolation leads to
Your irritation leads to
Our confrontation but the world keeps spinning
Manipulation leads to
My frustration leads to
Our confrontation but the world keeps spinning
Left wide open through life's love hate games
Understanding me is accepting the pain
This sick soul will eventually turn oh so cold, turn so cold
Reborn once in a while
Reborn but I kept my style
Reborn still and I feel so unreal, I am unreal
My isolation leads to
Your irritation leads to
Our confrontation but the world keeps spinning
Manipulation leads to
My frustration leads to
Our confrontation but the world keeps spinning
I've screamed (screamed)
Too many times, too many times
Who I am
Manipulation leads to
My frustration leads to
Our confrontation but the world keeps spinning
I've felt as stuck as a concrete slave (concrete slave)
And it felt like it cost me everything (everything)
Living alcohol blind my end game (end my game)
No one knows but it feels the same
Can I redefine me
Will you finally heal me
Can I push my obsessions to the outside
Had enough help from two cent friends
I'm the one that lets the sin begin
I'm my pride, my shame, all wrapped-up clean
Deep inside
My isolation leads to
Your irritation leads to
Our confrontation but the world keeps spinning
Manipulation leads to
My frustration leads to
Our confrontation but the world keeps spinning
I've screamed (screamed)
Too many times, too many times
Who I am
Manipulation leads to
My frustration leads to
Our confrontation but the world keeps spinning
The lyrics to SOiL's song "Amalgamation" depict the internal struggle of a person who has undergone various transformations throughout their life. The references to the eyes emphasize the experience of seeing things differently and undergoing personal growth. The line “All I need is a voice to say you will” suggests the need for validation and reassurance that the journey of self-discovery is worth it. The repetition of the phrase “my isolation leads to your irritation leads to our confrontation” is a powerful depiction of the disconnect that can occur when personal growth is not fully understood by others.
The song then turns to alcoholism and addiction, with the line “living alcohol blind my end game.” The constant struggle between the internal and external self is further explored with the final lines “I’m my pride, my shame, all wrapped-up clean deep inside.” This person is both proud and ashamed of the changes they have undergone, and the idea of being “wrapped-up clean deep inside” implies a feeling of being trapped in these changes.
Overall, “Amalgamation” is a powerful song that explores the complexities of personal growth and the struggle to reconcile the changes that come with it.
