Surrounded
Soil Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everything is closing in
Won't this emptiness
It's surrounding me

With everything I feel, I just know
Is changing me
Yeah, and I feel surrounded

It doesn't matter where I go
'Cause I just can't sleep
Without you here

I just wanted you to know
That you leave me weak
And I feel frail
I'm surrounded

Memories are finding me
All these rusted chains are pulling me down
Feels like it's killing me
Yeah, and I feel surrounded

It doesn't matter where I go
'Cause I just can't sleep
Without you here

I just wanted you to know
That you leave me weak
And I feel frail
You know I feel surrounded

I'm calling my feelings again
They're hanging out inside my head
It's in there breathing out exhaust
The walls are closing in again

It doesn't matter where I go
'Cause I just can't sleep
Without you here

I just wanted you to know
That you leave me weak
And I feel frail

It doesn't matter where I go
'Cause I just can't sleep
Without you here
(It's killing me)

I just wanted you to know
(Just wanted you to know)
That you leave me weak

And I feel frail
I'm surrounded

Overall Meaning

The song "Surrounded" by Soil, released in their 2004 album "Redefine", talks about the feeling of being trapped and isolated. The singer expresses the idea of being surrounded by emptiness, memories, and the absence of someone he or she loves, making him or her feel weak and fragile. The lyrics suggest that the singer is struggling with the fact that he or she cannot find peace or rest, as he or she tries to make sense of the situation. He or she feels as though the walls are closing in, and that there is no escape from the emotions that are affecting him or her.

The theme of this song is a common one in rock music, as it deals with the emotional turmoil that people can go through in their daily lives. The lyrics suggest that this emotion is all-consuming, and that there is no way to escape it. The singer is trying to express the desperation that comes with feeling trapped and isolated, and the song makes use of imagery to paint a picture of what the singer is going through.

The chorus of the song is particularly moving, as it speaks to the universal experience of feeling vulnerable and isolated. The repeated phrase "I just can't sleep without you here" captures the overwhelming sense of loss and despair that the singer is experiencing. The repetition of this phrase underscores the singer's desperation and his or her desire for relief.
