Soil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
C'mon
Take your time take it anytime
Raise the line raise the line everytime
C'mon
Raise the line
Raise it above my mind
Everything that stains me and breaks me
Everything is right here color me unsold
Everything is right here inside
Take the pain wash it all away baby
C'mon
Take the pain rip it all away
Take my hand take it anytime friend
C'mon
Take my hand take it anytime
Just like the king's men's nightmare
So low gotta see me to feel me
It's just a gut reaction
Trapped in this aggressive action
Everytime I give up something
I end up with less than mine
Turn around and see what's given
It's still less than
mine
The lyrics of SOiL's song "Inside" are a message of healing and empowerment. The song is encouraging the listener to take all the time they need in order to overcome whatever obstacles they are facing. The repetition of "take your time" and "raise the line" convey a sense of patience and perseverance in the face of adversity. The song speaks to the pain and damage that can come from being trapped in a cycle of aggressive behavior and gut reactions. The lyrics make an appeal for the listener to take control of their own mind and release themselves from the baggage that's holding them back.
