1. Sole, born Tim Holland, is an alternative hip hop artist and a co-founder of the anticon. collective. Sole is known for his dense, often dark stream-of-consciousness writing style. His verses are often filled with abstraction, metaphor and sarcasm while avoiding or deconstructing traditional hip hop topics. His albums and record label have been featured in magazines such as Playboy and The Wire. Sole is also a producer and releases his self-produced experiments under the alias mansbestfriend, taken from the name of his Apple G4 computer
Sole was born in 1977 in Portland, Maine. He recorded his first demo in 1992. He shopped the demo to Entertainment Resources International. There was serious interest, and he was flown to Florida to record a few songs. However, the record deal fell through, and soon after, at age 15, sole got together a new group called "45 Below Records", which included Alias, JD Walker and a DJ Cuz the Highlander, now better known as Moodswing9, and together released an album titled "Mad Skillz and Unpaid Billz" under the moniker "Northern Exposure", selling more than 300 copies. At the age of 16, sole pressed up his first 12" and gave it away for free at the 1995 Gavin Convention. In 1996 sole started up a "Webzine" and online radio station, run directly from his basement bedroom in Portland, Maine. His Live Poets 12" from 1997 garnered some press and college radio play, selling a few thousand copies and leading to connections with other like-minded artists like Doseone (Adam Drucker), Jel (Jeffrey Logan), Atmosphere, The Shape Shifters, and the Sebutones (Sixtoo (Vaughn Robert Squire) and Buck 65 (Richard Terfry)). In early 1998, Sole and Pedestrian (James Brandon Best), coined the name Anticon, and together started the collectively owned record label of the same name. In the summer of 1998 Sole, Alias, and Doseone traveled to Minneapolis and together with Slug of Atmosphere recorded the first official Anticon album Deep Puddle Dynamics. Pedestrian and Sole eventually left for California, settling in the Bay Area. Anticon. is currently owned by eight members, Sole, Alias, Pedestrian, Jel, Doseone, Why? (Yoni Wolf), Baillie Parker, and Odd Nosdam (David Madson), well-known for his instrumental albums and his production work on Sole's albums.
Sole is married to Yasamin Holland. Her name and references to her can be heard scattered throughout his lyrics.

Sole Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thank God I never made it to Earth, what a happy place
how I long to be depressed, to be a grouch, get away
Yo, Yo Here I stand in the desert sands
There I lay in a dust storm, brain storms
Some day we may form a massive collective mind with no bandages
I kneel down to fantasy of what is real
I came across upon this quest was nothingness
possessed to find truth at all costs elementally
I walk a thin line of good and evil coincidentally
We all believe in god and nature and higher levels
Yet we dwell with devil's machinery in lower levels of raped scenery
It's seemingly endless
Demeaning and mindless, we're friendless and meaningless
Living in darkness walking with candles
And while I'm on the subject of difference is lame
I've noticed the more things change the more things stay the same
To stay in focus
It's hopeless to go against the grain while new to this
Till I'm menopaused and then ejected from the uterus
Chorus
And I've seen so far into the night
And lingered in the land of no night
Day two I've left the earth and all is alien and foreign
Females are wailing and I'm swimming in a cest pool
It's pouring
It ain't dark no more, no more worth the fight
My old candles turn to sunglasses, I can't stand the light
Yet I can't stand the rain these bodies I live with are numb
And I can't stand the pain these children I play with are dumb
A figure points a finger and whispers, "leave"
This small porcelain tomb
It will be all I will have achieved
And I refuse to be excrement
dash to the left and to try to and break for my life
A large hand grabs me now, there's no escape
I'm thrown into a whirlpool, spinning until infinity
Grasping for an oxygen breath, but I don't breath that yet
Inhale the H20 and thank life I'm still living breath
Giving death a hell of a run until the movement stops
Bubble to the surface almost dead ass out
Starving cold and alone until I pass out
chorus
Living ain't all that, I want to go back to non-existence
The womb was not meant to be a tomb, but once I've gone the distance
Won't sleep to see revenge for my dead sibling, I miss her
I watched my brother be impaled as I held the hand of my sister
Kissed her when she was void
Missed the missile, I'm docile
Amongst dead soil and fossil till I'm deployed
None of it ever happened
As far as I'm concerned I'm barred
Should've died months ago in the condom
and this wouldn't have been so hard
Should'nt of, but it's not that way
I fought that way
I lay until I no longer thought that way
None of this was worth the fight, I should have been disposed
At night time, laying only half of the trash can
Not white trash in a trailer park
Or a dismembered rash lashing utter last sole
member of a coathanger tailored art
With no formed identity blanketed by newspapers
Remedy be levity, life be the penalty
This body in a mask grow fast carry out the masquerade
I lay in the cut to hear lies, pawns, peons, and tricks of this trade
In this eon let me be on and beyond the next decade
There I stayed remain of flux to be another child saved
outro chorus
The lyrics of Sole's song "Save The Children" reflect a sense of disillusionment and despair with contemporary society. The opening lines express a desire to escape the pressures of modern life and return to a state of non-existence. The verses that follow describe a journey of self-discovery that takes the singer through a desert landscape and into a world that is strange and unfamiliar. Throughout the song, the singer grapples with the conflict between good and evil, and the struggle to find meaning and purpose in a world that seems increasingly dark and chaotic.
The chorus of the song offers a glimmer of hope, with its reference to "lingering in the land of no night." This line suggests that even in the darkest of times, there is still a possibility for redemption and renewal. However, the overall tone of the song remains one of deep pessimism and despair.
Line by Line Meaning
Thank God I never made it to Earth, what a happy place
I am grateful that I wasn't born on Earth, which seems to be a joyous place
how I long to be depressed, to be a grouch, get away
I wish to feel sadness and bitterness so that I can escape from reality
Here I stand in the desert sands
I find myself standing in a desert surrounded by sand
There I lay in a dust storm, brain storms
I am laying in the midst of a storm, both physically and mentally
Some day we may form a massive collective mind with no bandages
Perhaps in the future we will be able to come together without any barriers or hindrances
I kneel down to fantasy of what is real
I bow down to illusions which I perceive as being true
Thus far the only signs of freshness I came across upon this quest was nothingness
I have not come across anything new or refreshing on my journey so far, just emptiness
possessed to find truth at all costs elementally
I am obsessed with finding the truth regardless of the cost, it's a fundamental desire
I walk a thin line of good and evil coincidentally
I am walking a tightrope between what society deems as good and evil without intention
We all believe in god and nature and higher levels
Most of us have faith in God, nature and superior entities
Yet we dwell with devil's machinery in lower levels of raped scenery
But we still choose to live in a world dominated by evil, in the midst of damaged landscapes
It's seemingly endless demeaning and mindless, we're friendless and meaningless
It feels like it will never end, we are degraded, lifeless and lacking meaningful relationships
Living in darkness walking with candles
We are living in a perpetual darkness, and the only illumination comes from the candles we hold
And while I'm on the subject of difference is lame
As I am talking about the topic of individuality, I realize how absurd it is
I've noticed the more things change the more things stay the same
I've come to the realization that even with change, things rarely get better
It's hopeless to go against the grain while new to this
It's futile to resist the norm when you're new in a situation
Till I'm menopaused and then ejected from the uterus
Until I go through menopause and am then expelled from my mother's womb
And I've seen so far into the night
I have witnessed the depth of darkness and its power
And lingered in the land of no night
And remained in a place where there's no light or hope
Day two I've left the earth and all is alien and foreign
On the second day of my journey, I'm no longer on Earth and everything is unfamiliar
Females are wailing and I'm swimming in a cest pool
I hear women crying and I find myself swimming in a cesspool
It ain't dark no more, no more worth the fight
It's no longer dark, but it's still not worth the battle
My old candles turn to sunglasses, I can't stand the light
My prior sources of light have become something to avoid, and I can't tolerate brightness anymore
Yet I can't stand the rain these bodies I live with are numb
I also can't stand the rain, and the people around me seem emotionless and detached
And I can't stand the pain these children I play with are dumb
I can't handle the agony, and the kids around me seem foolish and innocent
A figure points a finger and whispers, 'leave'
A mysterious person points at me and whispers, 'go away'
This small porcelain tomb It will be all I will have achieved
This small coffin is my only accomplishment
And I refuse to be excrement dash to the left and to try to and break for my life
I won't allow myself to be worthless, and I'll run to escape danger
A large hand grabs me now, there's no escape
A hand that's too big to fight off takes hold of me, and I can't get away
I'm thrown into a whirlpool, spinning until infinity
I'm flung into a whirlpool and swirl endlessly
Grasping for an oxygen breath, but I don't breath that yet
I'm gasping for air, but I can't breathe yet
Inhale the H20 and thank life I'm still living breath
I breathe in water and am thankful for being alive and breathing
Giving death a hell of a run until the movement stops
I'm fighting for my life until the moment I die
Bubble to the surface almost dead ass out
I manage to swim to the surface, almost dead and exhausted
Starving cold and alone until I pass out
I'm hungry, freezing, and isolated, and eventually faint
Living ain't all that, I want to go back to non-existence
Life isn't everything it's cracked up to be, and I yearn to return to non-existence
The womb was not meant to be a tomb, but once I've gone the distance
The womb was never meant to be a grave, but once I'm born, I'm on my own
Won't sleep to see revenge for my dead sibling, I miss her
I won't rest until I've avenged my deceased sister who I miss dearly
I watched my brother be impaled as I held the hand of my sister
As I held my sister's hand, I witnessed my brother get pierced in the stomach
Kissed her when she was void
I gave my sister a kiss before she passed away
Missed the missile, I'm docile
I evaded the missile, and now I'm submissive
Amongst dead soil and fossil till I'm deployed
I'll stay among the remains of other living things until I'm sent somewhere else
None of it ever happened
It all seems like a made-up story
As far as I'm concerned I'm barred
As far as I'm aware, I'm restricted
Should've died months ago in the condom and this wouldn't have been so hard
It would have been easier if I had died in the condom many months ago
Should'nt of, but it's not that way
But I didn't die in the condom, so it's not like that
I fought that way
I struggled against the current path, but failed to change it
I lay until I no longer thought that way
I stayed down until I no longer had the energy to fight
None of this was worth the fight, I should have been disposed
All of this wasn't worth the trouble, and I should have been discarded
At night time, laying only half of the trash can
At night, I lay halfway inside a trash can
Not white trash in a trailer park or a dismembered rash
I'm not an impoverished person living in a mobile home, nor am I covered in a skin rash
lashing utter last sole member of a coathanger tailored art
I'm the last member of a more refined world, where coats were custom-made and hung
With no formed identity blanketed by newspapers
Without an established identity, I'm concealed by a shield of newspapers
Remedy be levity, life be the penalty
The cure for my suffering is to indulge in humor, but existence is still the punishment
This body in a mask grow fast carry out the masquerade
My disguised body ages quickly as it continues the performance
I lay in the cut to hear lies, pawns, peons, and tricks of this trade
I stay hidden to hear people's deception and manipulation tactics
In this eon let me be on and beyond the next decade
I wish to be present and relevant in this era and the next ten years
There I stayed remain of flux to be another child saved
And there I remain, always changing, hoping to save another child
outro chorus
The chorus is repeated as the song fades out
