Suffering
Soil (2003 / Redefine) Lyrics

The lyrics to Soil's song "Suffering" depict the pain and longing felt by someone who has lost a relationship. The opening lines, "Well did you notice, what's wrong with me, no I can't even breathe, when my head's low," express the physical and emotional toll the break-up has taken. The singer is struggling to cope with the loss and feels suffocated by their sadness. However, they clarify that their downcast demeanor is not from shame, but rather from the pain caused by their former partner.

As the song progresses, the singer expresses the intense hurt they feel stating, "This loss is slowly crushing me, through all this pain and suffering, I need you back in my arms." They are desperate to reconcile and have their partner return to them to ease their torment. The repetition of the line, "After all this need and suffering, I want you back in my arms," highlights the singer's escalating desire and desperation for their lover to return.

The final verse sees the singer asking their ex-partner to make amends but struggling to understand why they broke up in the first place, "Make amends with me, no I can't even see, The reason behind your needs." The song ends on an ambiguous note, with the singer's pain and confusion unresolved.
