Sister
The King's Parade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you see it?
I’ve been counting each day
Gets repetitive
Time is moving so slow
Oh no, what a way to go
Will you be by my side in the morning?
I’ve been closing my eyes
So I’m keeping ‘em closed
Oh no, what a way to go
I try to take a step
But my body is frozen
And my stare is cold
And my stare is cold
I’m trying to move on
But the record is broken
And I’m singing along (to)
A Never ending song
And I don’t think it’s right
But I need you by my side
Evermore, evermore
There’s a hole in my soul
Can you see it?
I’ve been counting each day
Gets repetitive
Time is moving so slow
Oh no, what a way to go
Will you be by my side in the morning?
I’ve been closing my eyes
Jjust to picture it
So I’m keeping ‘em closed
Oh no, what a way to go
Like a trigger flip a switch
Memories of you try to find a way out
Buried deep in my bones
Buried deep in my bones
I’m trying to settle down
But I got your word
Running through my head
Spinning out of control
spinning out of control
And I don’t think it’s right
But I need you by my side
Evermore, evermore
There’s a hole in my soul
Can you see it?
I’ve been counting each day
Gets repetitive
Time is moving so slow
Oh no, what a way to go
Will you be by my side in the morning?
I’ve been closing my eyes
Jjust to picture it
So I’m keeping ‘em closed
Oh no, what a way to go
I sold my soul for a ticket out of the war
A ticket out of the war
Oh, won’t you let me out
I sold my soul for a ticket out of the war
A ticket out of the war
I wanna get out
I sold my soul for a ticket out of the war
A ticket out of the war
Oh, won’t you let me out
I sold my soul for a ticket out of the war
A ticket out of the war
I wanna get out
I sold my soul for a ticket out of the war
A ticket out of the war
Oh, won’t you let me out
I sold my soul for a ticket out of the war
a ticket out of the war
A ticket out of the war
The lyrics of The King's Parade's song "Sister" portray a sense of emotional emptiness and longing for something more fulfilling. The repeated line "There's a hole in my soul, can you see it?" suggests a deep internal longing or void that the singer is experiencing. They feel trapped in a monotonous routine, as evidenced by the line "I've been counting each day, gets repetitive."
The singer yearns for a companion or support system, someone who will be there for them in the morning. They speak of closing their eyes just to imagine having that person by their side, emphasizing their desire for connection and intimacy. However, they also acknowledge their own struggle to move forward, feeling frozen and unable to take a step. The mention of a broken record and a never-ending song implies that they are stuck in a cycle of memories and emotions associated with a past relationship.
Despite their internal conflict and acknowledgment that it may not be right, the singer still admits to needing this person to be by their side. The repetition of the phrase "evermore" suggests a desire for long-lasting, enduring companionship. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation, where the singer feels a deep sense of loss and yearning for something or someone that can fill the void in their soul.

There’s a hole in my soul
I feel empty and incomplete
Can you see it?
Can you understand my inner struggles?
I’ve been counting each day
Every day feels the same, monotonous
Gets repetitive
Becomes dull and predictable
Time is moving so slow
The days feel long and dragging
Oh no, what a way to go
It's a terrible way to live
Will you be by my side in the morning?
Can you support me through difficult times?
I’ve been closing my eyes
I'm trying to imagine a better future
Just to picture it
To create a mental image of a happier life
So I’m keeping ‘em closed
I choose to remain hopeful and optimistic
I try to take a step
I attempt to move forward
But my body is frozen
I feel stuck and unable to progress
And my stare is cold
My gaze lacks warmth and emotion
I’m trying to move on
I'm attempting to let go of the past
But the record is broken
The memories keep replaying, hindering progress
And I’m singing along (to)
I can't escape the thoughts and feelings associated with the past
A Never-ending song
The memories seem to go on forever
And I don’t think it’s right
I know it's not healthy or beneficial
But I need you by my side
I still rely on your presence and support
Evermore, evermore
Always and forever, without end
Like a trigger flip a switch
Like an instant change or realization
Memories of you try to find a way out
I struggle to let go of the memories we shared
Buried deep in my bones
The memories are deeply ingrained within me
I’m trying to settle down
I'm attempting to find stability and peace
But I got your word
I can't ignore the promises and commitments you made
Running through my head
Constantly occupying my thoughts
Spinning out of control
My emotions are overwhelming and chaotic
I sold my soul for a ticket out of the war
I gave up my happiness and well-being to escape my internal struggle
Oh, won’t you let me out
I desperately want to free myself from this pain
I wanna get out
I yearn to find liberation from my inner turmoil
