Soil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Canister filled with ink
Yeah, now think of your body
As the pen where the ink resides
Fuse the two; KAPOW!
What are you now?
You're the human magic marker, won't you
It's in your nature,
You can paint whatever picture
You like no matter what
Ted Koppel says on channel 4 tonight
So modify this third rock from the sun
By painting myriads of pictures
With the colors of one
I'm sick of painting in black and white
My pen is dry, now I'm uptight
So sick of limiting myself
To fit your definition
Picture the scene, where whatever you thought,
Would, in the blink of an eye,
Manifest and become illustrated
You'd be sure man that every
Line drawn reflected a life that you loved
Not an existence that you hated
So, must we demonstrate that
We can't get it straight?
We've painted a picture,
Now we're drowning in paint
Lets figure out what the fuck it's about
Before the picture we painted
Chews us up and spits us out
I'm sick of painting in black and white
My pen is dry, now I'm uptight
So sick of limiting myself
To fit your definition
Redefine
The lyrics to SOiL's song Redefine are an invitation to break away from society's restrictions and limitations, and to redefine oneself with boundless freedom and creativity. The lyrics use the metaphor of a pen and ink to illustrate this idea. The brain is likened to a canister filled with ink, and the body is the pen where the ink resides. When the two are fused together, the result is a human magic marker that can paint any picture imaginable.
The chorus urges listeners to embrace their natural desire to paint whatever picture they want, even if it means ignoring the opinions of others. The lyrics encourage listeners to reject a black and white existence and instead use the pen to create a life with the colors of one's choosing. The bridge of the song takes a more urgent tone, warning listeners that if they do not take control of their lives, they risk drowning in the paint of the picture they painted themselves.
Overall, Redefine is a rallying cry for individualism and creativity, and a rejection of conformity and limitations.
Line by Line Meaning
Imagine your brain as a
Think of your mind as a container
Canister filled with ink
That is filled with creative potential
Yeah, now think of your body
Consider your physical form
As the pen where the ink resides
As the vehicle to express and manifest your ideas
Fuse the two; KAPOW!
Combine them, and boom!
What are you now?
Who have you become?
You're the human magic marker, won't you
You're a powerful instrument of change, won't you
Please surprise my eyes?
Amaze and inspire me with your creations?
It's in your nature,
It's inherent to your being,
You can paint whatever picture
You have the ability to create any image
You like no matter what
That you want, regardless of
Ted Koppel says on channel 4 tonight
What authority figures or the media may suggest
So modify this third rock from the sun
Change this planet we call home
By painting myriads of pictures
Through creating endless possibilities
With the colors of one
Using your unique perspective and style
I'm sick of painting in black and white
I'm tired of living a dull, rigid life
My pen is dry, now I'm uptight
I'm creatively drained, and it's causing stress
So sick of limiting myself
I'm tired of holding back my potential
To fit your definition
To conform to someone else's expectations
Picture the scene, where whatever you thought,
Imagine a world where your ideas
Would, in the blink of an eye,
Could, instantly
Manifest and become illustrated
Materialize and come to life
You'd be sure man that every
You'd be certain that each
Line drawn reflected a life that you loved
Stroke you make represents a fulfilled existence
Not an existence that you hated
Rather than a miserable existence
So, must we demonstrate that
Do we need to prove that
We can't get it straight?
We're incapable of getting it right?
We've painted a picture,
We've created a reality
Now we're drowning in paint
And now we're suffocating in our own vision
Lets figure out what the fuck it's about
Let's determine the true meaning
Before the picture we painted
Before our creation and vision
Chews us up and spits us out
Destroys us and our ideals
Redefine
Create a new vision and path forward

(First sight!) Turns me around again
Brings me face to face with my sin
I've got it, always had it
A reason to look within now
(Take flight!) To your sun again
Burns the sin straight from my hands
I've got it, always had it
A reason to live within now
Every time I fall, you catch me
And every time I lose control
You help me, you save me
And every time I lose myself
You find me, redefine me
(My God!) How stained my hands have been
Makes me sick from inside out again
I've got it, always had it
A reason to look within now
(Stand close!) To my side again
Never stuck a knife in my back, friend
I've got it, always had it
A reason to live within now
Every time I fall, you catch me
And every time I lose control
You help me, you save me
And every time I lose myself
You find me, redefine me
Somebody to make me feel whole again (Life gets better)
Somebody to make me wanna love again (Life gets better)
Somebody to make me see the sun again (Life gets better)
Somebody to hold me, hold me
Until this life feels better
Every time I fall
Every time I lose control
You help me, you save me
And every time I lose myself
You find me, redefine me
And every time I hate myself
You love me, forgive me
And every time I lose myself
You find me, redefine me
