SOiL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They say that from my path I've strayed away
Who'll clear my way to a better day
Who'll cleanse my veins and take all my pains away
She takes me in, She holds me in
She keeps me away from my sin
She makes me feel, Shemakes me real
I never want to see the pain scar her fade again and
I never want to leave the warm embrace of my true friend
Sitting back I realize the mistakes I've made
Moving forward hope to find a simpler way
Feel as if the gods have damned my everyday
She takes me in, She holds me in
She keeps me away from my sin
She makes me feel, Shemakes me real
She give me time to heal and
I never want to see the pain scar her fade again and
I never want to leave the warm embrace of my true friend
The lyrics in SOiL's song She describe the singer's struggles with feeling lost and disconnected from the world around him. He mentions that people have criticized him for straying from his path, and he is searching for someone who can guide him towards a better day and take away his pains. The answer to his quest ultimately becomes the titular "She," who takes him in and provides a sense of comfort and safety from the pain and sin of the world. The singer acknowledges the mistakes he has made in the past, but he hopes to move forward with the guidance of his friend.
This song can be read as a meditation on the power of friendship and human connection. The singer is searching for meaning and purpose, and he finds that in the form of another person who can show him the way. The use of gender-neutral pronouns throughout the song leaves the identity of "She" open to interpretation, emphasizing the universality of human emotion and the need for support from others. The slow, brooding rhythm of the music underscores the heavy emotional weight of the lyrics, and the refrain of "She takes me in, She holds me in" reinforces the sense of safety and comfort the singer is experiencing.
