Soulcage Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’m walking, walking on your dreams
I’m chalking for your off spring to read
They’re landmarks on maps of broken lines
Insatiable needs worth a dime

For an origin
For that vanished thing
For an origin

To find where to begin
There are scars
There are scars on my arms
They tell of fulfilled needs
And broken dreams worth a dime





[chorus]

Overall Meaning

In Soulcage's song Origin, the lyrics explore the theme of the search for one's origin and beginning. The song is rich in metaphors and the lyrics are layered and deep. The first verse talks about the singer walking on someone's dreams, possibly suggesting the singer is controlling someone's life. The singer is also chalking for the offsprings, indicating that perhaps the singer wants to leave a legacy behind. The line "landmarks on maps of broken lines" seems to portray that these dreams and aspirations may not be attainable, and the needs are insatiable and only worth a dime.


The second verse reveals more about the singer's own origin and the struggles faced along the way. The scars on the singer's arms suggest that they have gone through pain and perhaps self-harm, and the "fulfilled needs and broken dreams worth a dime" may reflect that the singer is not satisfied with where they are in life. The chorus, which repeats the line "For an origin", further emphasizes the search for where it all began and perhaps the desire to start over.
