Red
Soul Takers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

flat on my back
in a lonely sprawl
i stare at the ceiling
'cause i can not fall
asleep tonight
no not at all
head lights flash
across my bedroom wall
crying eyes open
'cause i can not fall
in love with you
no not at all

walk away and taste the pain
come again some other day
aren't you glad you weren't afraid
funny how the price gets paid

walk away and taste the pain
come again some other day
aren't you glad you weren't afraid
funny how the price gets paid

busted in two
like a brittle stick
i can not drink
because my throat constricts
lovesick from you
that will never do
open my mouth
i couldn't make a sound
i could not scream
no
i could not shout
it out to you
nothing to do

walk away and taste the pain
come again some other day
aren't you glad you weren't afraid
funny how the price gets paid

walk away and taste the pain
come again some other day
aren't you glad you weren't afraid
funny how the price gets paid

this may come as a shocking surprise
i have to take a walk
i have to kiss it goodbye
goodbye my love
goodbye my love
i am not alive

walk away and taste the pain
come again some other day
aren't you glad you weren't afraid
funny how the price gets paid

walk away and taste the pain
come again some other day
aren't you glad you weren't afraid




funny how the price gets paid
funny how the price gets paid

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Soul Takers' song "Red" seem to be about a person who is unable to fall asleep because they are thinking about someone they love. However, the love seems to be unrequited as the singer states that they cannot fall in love with this person. The person is crying and feeling lovesick but is unable to express it to the other person. The singer is also unable to drink due to their constricted throat and is described as feeling "busted in two like a brittle stick." The chorus repeats the lines "walk away and taste the pain, come again some other day, aren't you glad you weren't afraid, funny how the price gets paid."


The lyrics suggest that the singer has decided to end the relationship, as they say "goodbye my love, goodbye my love, I am not alive." It seems that the singer has come to the realization that they need to move on from this relationship and say goodbye to the person they love, even though it hurts to do so.


Overall, the song seems to be about the pain of unrequited love and the difficulty of moving on from a relationship that is not working.
