Take My Soul
Thievery Corporation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Put the life back in your heart
Let's try forgiveness no self-deception
Little less reaction, little more reflection
New trails are blazing in, city shows no love tonight
All the sounds come crashing in inside and outside
Running through your mind all the words collide
Come on open your eyes
Take my soul
I don't need it anymore
Don't let it go
You're the cure I am looking for
Take my soul
I don't need it anymore
Don't let go
You're the cure I am looking for
Old habits creeping up
Floating by, riding high
Silver clouds up above
Come on open your eyes
Take my soul
I don't need it anymore
Don't let go
You're the cure I am looking for
Take my soul
I don't need it anymore
The lyrics of Thievery Corporation's song "Take My Soul" contain messages of self-reflection, forgiveness, and letting go. The opening lines suggest that people often express themselves in unexpected, "strange" ways, and that it's important to look deeper to see who they truly are. The next lines encourage the listener to put "life back in [their] heart" by practicing forgiveness and self-awareness. This involves reacting less and reflecting more, which allows for personal growth and change.
The rest of the song seems to be a call to action for the listener to wake up and see the world around them. The lyrics describe a city that "shows no love tonight," with sounds crashing in from all directions. Amidst this chaos, the singer suggests that the listener can find peace and healing by taking their soul and being open to the cure that comes from outside of themselves. Old habits and distractions may try to pull them away, but the singer encourages them to stay present and focused on finding the cure.
Overall, "Take My Soul" is a song about personal growth, reflection, and finding peace amidst chaos. It suggests that by forgiving ourselves and others, and by being present in the moment, we can find the cure we need to heal ourselves and the world around us.

Squaw Valley? I helped build Resort at Squaw Creek way back when. Man, I miss those days. Just out of college and could afford to live in SF and Tahoe. Different world.
