I was blinded forever
By the beautiful light of madness in your eyes

Such a sweet revelation
And the darkest sensation on soul on soul

With heaven around me
Your ?? gets around me in your arms again

For once I was lost and
Somehow you found me and I was yours again

Soul on soul
Soul on soul
On soul!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to System F's song "Soul On Soul" are clearly about a powerful, intense connection between two people. The singer is describing the effect that their romantic partner has on them, specifically how they feel lost and then found again in the presence of this person. The imagery of blindness and light suggests that the singer is overwhelmed by their emotions, unable to see clearly or think logically.

The repetition of the phrase "soul on soul" reinforces the idea that this connection is not just physical or emotional, but spiritual or even metaphysical. The singer's soul is merging with their partner's, creating a deeper bond than just a physical or emotional relationship. The mention of heaven and feeling "in your arms again" suggests that this connection is intense enough to be transcendent, possibly even religious or divine in nature.

Overall, "Soul On Soul" is a love song that describes an all-consuming, soul-enveloping connection between two people. The intense emotions, spiritual undertones, and transcendent imagery all contribute to the sense of overwhelming passion and love in this song.
