Hole in My Soul
Yearning Echoes: Navigating Loss in 'Hole in My Soul' by Apocalyptica
Lyrics
It's getting dark and I'm lost in the woods
Feeling a sense of darkness and being lost in a difficult situation.
I'd find a way out if I knew where to look
Expressing a desire to find a solution but uncertain where to look for it.
If I could, I'd rip this page out of my book
Expressing a wish to erase or change a part of one's life story or experience.
I'm confused and misguided and my faith is beside me
Feeling confused, misguided, and facing a crisis of faith.
I've got a hole in my soul where you use to be
Describing an emotional void left by someone's absence.
There's a thorn in my heart and it's killing me
Symbolizing emotional pain with the metaphor of a thorn in the heart.
I wish I could go back and do it all differently
Expressing a desire for a chance to change past actions and decisions.
'Cause now there's a hole in my soul where you use to be
Reiterating the emotional vacuum created by someone's absence.
A fire inside but my bloods turning cold
Contrasting inner fire with a growing sense of emotional coldness.
I'm walking alone down this desolate road
Walking a lonely path, possibly reflecting on a challenging journey.
Yesterday feels like a life time ago
Reflecting on the passage of time and a sense of distance from the past.
The memories are fading, my dreams are all changing
Noting the fading of memories and the evolving nature of dreams.
I've got a hole in my soul where you use to be
Repeating the theme of emotional emptiness due to someone's absence.
There's a thorn in my heart and it's killing me
Emphasizing the pain of the emotional void with the thorn metaphor.
I wish I could go back and do it all differently
Expressing a strong desire to go back in time and make different choices.
'Cause now there's a hole in my soul where you use to be
Reiterating the impact of someone's absence on the speaker's soul.
There's a hole in my heart, in my life, in my way
Expanding on the emotional void, regret, and the consequences of pushing someone away.
And it's filled with regret and all I did, to push you away
Describing a metaphorical hole filled with regret for actions that led to separation.
If there's still a place in your life, in your heart for me
Asking if there's still a place for the speaker in the other person's life or heart.
I would do anything, so don't ask me to leave
Expressing a willingness to do anything to maintain a connection and not be abandoned.
I've got a hole in my soul where you use to be
Repeating the theme of an emotional void caused by someone's absence.
You're the thorn in my heart and you're killing me
Intensifying the emotional pain by identifying the person as a thorn.
I wish I could go back and do it all differently
Reiterating a strong desire to go back in time and change one's actions.
I wish that I'd treated you differently
Expressing regret for not treating the other person differently.
'Cause now there's a hole in my soul where you use to be
Summarizing the enduring emotional void resulting from the person's absence.
