Samsara
Soul Extract Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lies a secret underneath
The turning gears of this existence
Grinding deep, grinding deep
I feel you waiting outside
Waiting lifetimes patiently
When the light breaks down all that's left
I will see, I will see
As the world divides, eating me alive
We cannot survive this again
As our stars collide, bending space and time
Leaving the world behind once again
When we reunite
Let's stay here this time
As our hearts entwine, reaching out to find
That space cannot divide us again
To feel your touch intoxicating
Emanating underneath
The beauty of this love cascading
Over me, over me
Travelling across expansion
Playing out just like a dream
A burning violet iridescence
Is released, is released
Into an endless paradigm
As the world divides, eating me alive
We cannot survive this again
As our stars collide, bending space and time
Leaving the world behind once again
When we reunite
Let's stay here this time
As our hearts entwine, reaching out to find
That space cannot divide us again
As our hearts entwine, reaching out to find
That space cannot divide us again
I'm falling into you (into you, ...)
Our souls colliding (souls colliding, ...)
I'm falling into you
You're falling into me
Our souls colliding, our stars igniting
Falling deeper into us
I'm falling into you
You're falling into me
Our stars colliding, our souls igniting
Falling deeper into us
The lyrics of Soul Extract's song Samsara depict the idea of reincarnation, the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth that is a fundamental concept of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. The first stanza refers to the existence's turning gears, the idea of a continuous cycle, and hidden secrets that lie beneath blindness. The vocalist talks about feeling someone waiting patiently in what seems like multiple lifetimes, and when the light breaks down, he will finally see what's left of him. The last line, "The ending has arrived," could be interpreted in two different ways: the end of this cycle or the end of his life.
In the second verse, the vocalist talks about a love that transcends time and space. The love is so strong that it can bring people together across dimensions, and their hearts can entwine, leaving no room for distance. He talks about a deep connection between two souls that collide and ignite like stars. The chorus repeats the idea of the world dividing, which could mean the polarization of beliefs or the metaphorical distance between people, and how they cannot afford to survive the same thing again. Historically, "samsara" is a concept that talks about how individuals are trapped in their ignorance and are perpetually consumed by their desires.
