My Own
Soil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Deep within me
Feed my strength
Your words are empty
Look inside and you will see
Break inside break inside
And that's something to me
I've grown, Too strong
To be under your feet
See the hands
That try to hold me
Read the past
I never was free
Deeds of shame
The world around me
Know my pain
The world that I see
The lyrics of SOiL's song My Own is all about self-realization and independence. The message is clear, that the singer has realized that he doesn't need anyone else to validate or affirm him. The opening lines of "Feel my angst, deep within me, feed my strength, your words are empty" show that the singer has gone through a lot and can't be brought down by anyone's words. The singer then encourages others to look within themselves and break out of the limitations that hold them back, "look inside and you will see, break inside, break inside."
The chorus emphasizes the realization of the singer that he is his own person and doesn't need anyone to validate his existence. "I am my own, and that's something to me, I've grown too strong to be under your feet." This is a powerful message that is relatable to everyone. The final part of the song, "see the hands that try to hold me, read the past, I never was free, deeds of shame, the world around me, know my pain, the world that I see" shows the singer’s experience with negativity, but he also knows that he is now strong enough to rise above it.
Line by Line Meaning
Feel my angst
Experience the intense feeling of anxiety and apprehension present within me
Deep within me
In the innermost part of my being
Feed my strength
Nurture and encourage my resilience and fortitude
Your words are empty
Your promises and assurances lack substance and hold no value
Look inside and you will see
Take a closer look within yourself and you'll discover the truth
Break inside break inside
Fragment and crumble internally, under the weight of these emotions
I am, My own
I am an independent individual, capable of governing myself
And that's something to me
And that's a vital and meaningful part of who I am
I've grown, Too strong
I've developed and matured to the point where I'm unbreakable
To be under your feet
To be subjugated or dominated by you
See the hands
Observe the actions and behavior of those around me
That try to hold me
That attempt to restrict or constrain me
Read the past
Examine the history and background that led to this moment
I never was free
I have never truly been able to act and think on my own free will
Deeds of shame
Acts of dishonor and disgrace committed in the world around me
The world around me
The environment and society in which I live
Know my pain
Aware of the misery and suffering I must endure
The world that I see
The reality and existence that I perceive
