Whole
Sody Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Knew how to get to me
Stressed and worn out
Nothing ever changes
All these years I′ve felt so incomplete
Bet you thought you took a piece of me
But I'm still whole, I′m still whole
Left out, lonely
Locked out of the party
Shouting and swearing
Drenched in emptiness
For all these years I′ve felt so incomplete
Really thought you took a piece of me
But I′m still whole, I'm still whole
I′m still whole, I'm still whole
I was on the edge of the darkness
Little did I know, that′s where the light is
Hidden in the cold and the heartless
Thought that I was always missing something
Swore that I could've lost everything
But I lost nothing, nothing
But I lost nothing
All these years I′ve felt so incomplete
Really thought you took a piece of me
But I'm still whole, I'm still whole
I′m still whole, I′m still whole
I'm still whole, I′m still whole
I'm still whole, I′m still whole
In "Whole," Sody sings about her journey of feeling incomplete and broken, but realizing that even after all the hurt and pain inflicted upon her, she is still whole. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who has been pushed down and knocked around, made to feel left out and lonely, but despite it all, she has found strength and resilience within herself to move past the damaging emotions and hold onto a sense of self-worth.
The opening verse speaks of feeling stressed, worn out, and incomplete for many years, but also acknowledges that someone tried to take a piece of her. This could refer to a person or situation that caused her pain and made her feel less than whole. However, in the chorus, she confidently proclaims that she is still whole, repeating the words as if to convince herself that she truly is strong enough to stand on her own.
The second verse expands on these negative emotions, describing being locked out of a party and feeling drenched in emptiness. The repetition of feeling incomplete further emphasizes the idea that she has carried this weight with her for a long time. But once again, she asserts her wholeness in the chorus, refusing to let anyone or anything take away from her sense of self.
Overall, "Whole" is a powerful song about self-worth and resilience in the face of pain and adversity. It's a reminder that no matter what happens, we have the ability to hold onto our sense of self and come out on top.

She sang this at my school. It sounds the same. I bet that if there is any auto tune on it, it's only a little bit.
She's so talented
