Reminiscent of an early Coldplay, add a powerful vocal injection à la Kings of Leon via the up to date and catchy acoustic style of Mumford and Sons and there you have Soul Nidus.
Fall of 2010 saw the band’s debut in the UK as SOUL NIDUS hand delivered their new album - LOOKING BACK FACING FORWARD - to The UK.
LOOKING BACK FACING FORWARD, which was recorded in Ontario and mastered at England's famed Abbey Road Studios, is produced by Ehsan and Salman Ashrafi with the help of producer Graham Brewer. LBFF was digitally released on 10/10/10 and is available on iTunes.
Undoubtedly the best way to discover Soul Nidus is to take a listen for yourself, so go ahead, don't be shy.
I'M SORRY
Soul Nidus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I heard that there were tears
As you sat on the train
Leaving me all alone
I
I know the sun will shine
and the moon will light the night
but it just won't be the same
I'm sorry, for the nights you felt alone
Sitting on your own
Wondering if I can ever make it a home
I still can see your face
every time I close my eyes
I do that all the time
I know that I'm too late
as I turn inside out
I hope you're happy now
I'm sorry, for the nights you felt alone
Sitting on your own
Wondering if I can ever make it a home
I'm sorry for the words I left untold
For the ones that left youcold
Now I'm wondering if you'll ever take me home
I'm waiting for you to call
I'm waiting for you to call
I'm waiting for you to call me now
I'm waiting for you to call
As you're waiting for me to fall
I'm waiting but you don't call me now
I
I'm here to say I'm sorry
Never meant to make you cry
I just wish you could believe
these words of mine
The lyrics of Soul Nidus's song, "I'm Sorry," reflect on the regret of losing someone and apologizing for the mistakes made in the relationship. The opening lines, "I heard that there were tears, as you sat on the train, leaving me all alone," paint a picture of a breakup with the subject leaving and the singer being left behind. The lines following, "I know the sun will shine and the moon will light the night, but it just won't be the same," express that while life will go on, it won't be as bright or fulfilling without the other person in their life.
The chorus of the song is a repeating apology, with the singer saying sorry for the nights their lover felt alone, and for the words left untold that left them cold. They express regret for not making their lover feel at home and now wonder if they'll ever take them back. The bridge shifts to the singer waiting for their lover to call, willing to reconcile and hoping they don't fall too far out of reach. The final lines, "I'm here to say I'm sorry, never meant to make you cry, I just wish you could believe these words of mine," express a feeling of remorse and a desire for forgiveness and another chance.

I heard that there were tears
I heard that you cried
As you sat on the train
While leaving and traveling away
Leaving me all alone
Leaving me behind by myself
I know the sun will shine
I know brighter days will come
and the moon will light the night
and the night will still be bright
but it just won't be the same
but it won't be as good as when we were together
I'm sorry, for the nights you felt alone
I apologize for the times when you were lonely
Sitting on your own
Being by yourself
Wondering if I can ever make it a home
Thinking about if I could make our home better
I still can see your face
I still remember your appearance
every time I close my eyes
whenever I shut my eyes
I do that all the time
it happens frequently to me
I know that I'm too late
I understand that I'm tardy
as I turn inside out
as I start to change
I hope you're happy now
I hope that you are content presently
I'm sorry for the words I left untold
I'm expressing regret for the things I never said
For the ones that left you cold
For the phrases that were unkind and made you feel distant
Now I'm wondering if you'll ever take me home
I'm curious if you'll ever allow me to return to our residence
I'm waiting for you to call
I'm hoping you'll contact me
As you're waiting for me to fall
As you wish for me to fail
I'm waiting but you don't call me now
I'm still hoping for contact, but it hasn't happened yet
I'm here to say I'm sorry
I'm present to reveal regret
Never meant to make you cry
I never intended for you to shed tears
I just wish you could believe
I desire for you to trust me
