The Grass
The Souls Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I will roll one more
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
Beat old box of brass

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

Overall Meaning

The song β€œThe Grass” 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 –Mary 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 β€œbeat old box of brass” 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 Jane’s 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 people’s lives and how individuals cope with the pressure of life by escaping reality.

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

Ramrod bLDM

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 doesn’t really matter if Demod responded to it or not

Galaxy Vulture

​@Ramrod bLDMJust cause you're desperate for attention doesn't mean everyone is. Tons of people just want to comment something funny.
