Cross My Heart
Soil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mind rotting, through my stare
You walk away
Lifeless feeling in my mind
Bloody hands seems so divine
You think it'll go away
Cross my heart, hope to die
I lost my dream today
I lost my
Cross my heart, hope to die
Pluck out my fucking eye
I am broken everywhere
Loveless bastard, I don't care
I walk away
Tell me something I don't know
Tell me how I need to grow
Emotions drain
(dream today)
You, you walked away
You, never planned to stay
You, you walk away, just get away, just stay away
I said
You, never plan to stay, just walk away, just stay away
I swear
Cross my heart hope to die
Cross my heart hope to, dear God my,
Guts knotted, showed no care
Mind rotted through my stare
You walked away
Lifeless feeling everyday
Bloody hands were my decay
You thought it'd go away
The lyrics of SOiL's song Cross My Heart convey feelings of being abandoned and betrayed by a loved one. The first verse uses vivid imagery to describe the emotional turmoil the singer is experiencing: their gut is knotted and their mind is rotting, likely due to the pain of being left by their partner. The partner is described as walking away without any care or concern, while the singer is left with a bloody feeling of despair.
The chorus of the song, "Cross my heart, hope to die," is a phrase often used in children's games to make a promise. However, in this context, it takes on a darker meaning: the singer has lost their dream, and they feel that they would rather have their eye plucked out than to continue living with the pain.
The second verse continues to explore the singer's emotional state, with them referring to themselves as a "loveless bastard" who doesn't care. They seem resigned to their fate and willing to accept any negative emotions that come their way.
Overall, Cross My Heart is a powerful song that delves into feelings of heartbreak and abandonment. It is a reminder that even the strongest of us can feel broken and lost after experiencing love and loss.
