About You
Soulidium Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My mind
My sanity isn't well
You're gone and friends are here to pray
While I wipe my tears away
Sorry about your loss
They console
You're gone
And friends are here to pray
While I'm crying out to Heaven
Just to hear your name again
I can't believe that this could be the end
I need to feel your touch
Missing you so much
But I remember everything
I won't forget a single thing about you
Staring up at the sky
Two weeks is like five years passing
Rising sun breaks a brand new day
While I wipe the tears from yesterday away
Sometimes I hear you call
I turn but nothing's there at all
You're gone with so much left to say
Can you hear it there from Heaven
As I cry your name again
I can't believe that this could be the end
I need to feel your touch, missing you so much
But I remember everything
I won't forget a single thing
People saying
Just give it time
And everything will work out and be fine
But they don't know, no can't understand
I'd damnify my soul to turn back time
And make you mine again
Just to hear your name again
I can't believe that this could be the end
I need to feel your touch
Missing you so much
And I remember everything
I won't forget a single thing about you
The lyrics of Soulidium's "About You" depict the pain and heartbreak that comes from losing someone you love. The singer is clearly mourning the loss of someone very close to them and is struggling to come to terms with the fact that they are gone. The opening lines suggest that the singer is in a very dark place, with their mind and sanity being severely affected by their grief.
Despite the comfort of friends who have come to pray and console the singer, they are unable to shake off the overwhelming feeling of loss. The singer longs to hear the sound of their loved one's name again and feel their touch, but the reality is that they are gone forever. The pain of this loss is so immense that the singer fears they will never be able to forget a single thing about the person they have lost.
The second verse sees the singer continuing to struggle with their grief. Despite the passage of time, the pain remains fresh and unrelenting. The rising sun and the passing of days offer little comfort to the singer, who is haunted by memories of their loved one. The singer even believes they can hear their loved one's voice calling to them, adding to their sense of confusion and loss.
The final verse sees the singer rejecting attempts by others to offer comfort and instead expressing their desperate longing to turn back time and be reunited with their loved one. The song ends with the singer reaffirming their commitment to remembering everything about the person they have lost and cherishing their memory forever.
