Dissolve
Soul Extract Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Underneath a buried substrate of sickness and decay (and decay)
Breaking down
You're dissolving
Inside out, factory defaulting
DNA code overwriting
Deeper as you suffocate, suffocate
They're dragging you under
The shadows closing in
Outgunned and outnumbered
You disintegrate and carbonize
Hardened and fossilized
Buried deep within your mind
Now your soul is neutralized, neutralized
A symmetric reflection that never goes away
A perfect replication of everything that you hate (everything you hate)
Every Trace is gone
Replaced, erased by your submission to the ones you follow
Further down into this hollow state
Deeper as you suffocate, suffocate
They're dragging you under
The shadows closing in
Outgunned and outnumbered
You disintegrate and carbonize
Hardened and fossilized
Buried deep within your mind
Now your soul is neutralized
Trapped in the undertow
Drowning inside your soul, inside your soul
There's nowhere else to go
But at least you're not alone
Trapped in the undertow
Drowning inside your soul, inside your soul
There's nowhere else to go
But at least you're not alone
They're dragging you under
The shadows closing in
Outgunned and outnumbered
You disintegrate and carbonize
Hardened and fossilized
Buried deep within your mind
Now your soul is neutralized
Hardened and fossilized
Buried deep within your mind
Now your soul is neutralized, neutralized
They're dragging you under
Outgunned and outnumbered
They're dragging you under
Outgunned and outnumbered
The lyrics of Soul Extract's song "Dissolve" depict a descent into a haunting and unchanging memory. The singer delves into a buried substrate of illness and decay, a metaphorical representation of a dark and toxic mindset or situation. As they delve deeper, they find themselves breaking down and dissolving from the inside out, with their very DNA code being overwritten and their sense of self suffocating.
The first verse highlights the overwhelming feeling of being dragged under and surrounded by shadows. The singer feels outgunned and outnumbered, as if their strength and sanity diminishes with each passing moment. They become disintegrated and carbonized, hardened and fossilized within their own mind. The repetition of the phrase "Now your soul is neutralized" emphasizes a loss of identity and inner essence, as if their very soul has been rendered ineffective or numb.
The second verse introduces the idea of a symmetric reflection that never fades away, a replication of everything the singer despises. This could represent a constant reminder of their negative experiences or the toxic influences they can't escape. Every trace of their individuality is replaced and erased, as they submit to the will of those they follow. This surrender to external forces leads to a deeper suffocation and descent into a hollow state.
The chorus reinforces the sense of being dragged under, trapped in an undertow within their own soul. Despite this overwhelming struggle, the singer finds solace in the knowledge that they are not alone in their suffering. The repetition of the lines "drowning inside your soul" and "at least you're not alone" suggests a shared experience of pain and a small comfort in the knowledge that others also endure similar struggles.
In summary, "Dissolve" by Soul Extract explores themes of inner turmoil, personal decay, and the loss of self. The lyrics delve into a memory that refuses to change, showcasing the destructive nature of toxic influences and the suffocating sensation of losing one's individuality.

Descend into an ancient memory that never seems to change
Underneath a buried substrate of sickness and decay and decay
Breaking down, you're dissolving, inside out, factory defaulting
DNA code overwri-ti-ing, deeper as you suffocate
Suffocate
They're dragging you under, the shadows closing in
Outgunned and outnumbered you disintegrate and carbonize
Hardened and fossilized, buried deep within your mind
Now your soul is neutralized
Neutralized
(A symmetric reflection that never goes away)
(A perfect replication of everything that you hate) -Thing you hate
Every trace is gone, replaced, erased by your submission to the ones you follow
Further down into this hollow state, deeper as you suffocate
Suffocate
