The Grass
The Souls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The walk to town is short but it's too hot
I will sell some old things in the pawnshop
And Mary Jane is high
I take a look around
I know where I can meet you in town
I'll get in trouble if they ever find us
You always get me right
You always bring a smile on me
I lose all sense of time when you're by my side
Lying on the grass
When I get to your door
The last remaining is gone but I'm longing on for more
I ask for you and they tell me that you're gone
They have to be wrong
I miss your taste so much
Reality is so dull when I lack your touch
I lose all sense of time when you're by my side
Lying on the grass
You carry me in your lap
You carried all the weight off my back
I lose all sense of time when youΒ΄re by my side
Lying on the grass
The song βThe Grassβ by The Soul is a melancholic song which tells a story of a person who indulges in the pleasures of smoking marijuana. In the first verse, he rolls one more joint and plans to sell some old items in the pawnshop. Even though he might get into trouble, he does not bother and prefers to smoke and take his time. The chorus talks about his longing for his partner in crime βMary Jane- and how lying on the grass with her by his side without a care in the world brings joy to him. He loses track of time and can only hope to see her soon.
In the second verse, he decides to meet with Mary Jane in town but fears the consequences of being caught as they would be in trouble. The mention of the βbeat old box of brassβ is symbolic of the difficulties they may have encountered previously during their rendezvous. The chorus comes in again, and he expresses his appreciation for Mary Jane, as she always brings a smile to his face and helps him forget about the dull reality of life.
In the final verse, he reaches for Mary Janeβs comfort again but finds that she is not there, and he misses her taste so much. The last line talks about how Mary Jane carries his emotional burden and how he feels relaxed and free when she is by his side, lying on the grass. Overall, the song takes a critical look at the effects of drug use on peopleβs lives and how individuals cope with the pressure of life by escaping reality.
Line by Line Meaning
I will roll one more
I am going to roll one more joint
The walk to town is short but it's too hot
Even though the walk to town is short, it's too hot outside
I will sell some old things in the pawnshop
I plan to sell some of my old possessions at the pawnshop
And Mary Jane is high
I am feeling euphoric from the marijuana I smoked
I take a look around
I survey my surroundings
I know where I can meet you in town
I am familiar with the location where we plan to meet in town
I'll get in trouble if they ever find us
If we are caught, we will face negative consequences
Beat old box of brass
I play a beaten-up brass instrument
You always get me right
You understand me perfectly
You always bring a smile on me
You always make me happy
I lose all sense of time when you're by my side
When I am with you, time seems to stand still
Lying on the grass
We are lying down on the ground, likely in a park or meadow
When I get to your door
When I arrive at your house
The last remaining is gone but I'm longing on for more
I have run out of something, but I still crave more
I ask for you and they tell me that you're gone
I inquire about you, but am told that you are not available
They have to be wrong
I refuse to believe that you are unavailable
I miss your taste so much
I crave the feeling of being with you
Reality is so dull when I lack your touch
When I am not with you, reality feels mundane and lackluster
You carry me in your lap
You provide me with emotional support and nurturing
You carried all the weight off my back
You helped me deal with my problems and made them feel less burdensome

You said that hoping to get some recognition and a like, being as he didn't like or respond "I love it"
Shadowdan117
@Ramrod bLDM I just said it because I thought it was funny, it doesnβt really matter if Demod responded to it or not
Galaxy Vulture
β@Ramrod bLDMJust cause you're desperate for attention doesn't mean everyone is. Tons of people just want to comment something funny.
