There Goes My Soul
Journey of Lost Souls: Unveiling Tales in the Underground
Lyrics
My sea was set for sail
Expressing readiness or anticipation for a journey or new experience.
And then the lightning struck me
An unexpected and significant event disrupted the speaker's plans or life.
Caught up in another tale
Engaged in another story or situation, possibly beyond the speaker's control.
It seemed that luck had ducked me
Feeling unlucky or facing challenges in the current circumstances.
I fumbled in my pocket
Searching in his pocket, possibly for money or something valuable.
For a tenner that I swear I'd left there
Realizing he doesn't have the money he thought was there.
Because I never have a wallet
Not having a wallet suggests a lack of financial preparation or stability.
I sort of knew I'd have to bunk the train fare
Expecting to evade paying the train fare due to lack of funds.
And then my situation
Facing a challenging situation or problem.
Rose to take another step
Overcoming a difficulty and moving forward.
Up in Archway station
Describing a location, possibly with a sense of uncertainty or discomfort.
Without a ticket I slowly crept
Sneaking into a place without a ticket, risking consequences.
Under the barriers
Passing under barriers, breaking the rules, or seeking a way through.
Praying the steward don't see me
Wishing not to be noticed by an authority figure.
Think I'll become a liar
Considering dishonesty as a way to navigate challenges.
Because I told the truth and look where it got me
Reflecting on the consequences of telling the truth and feeling regret.
There goes my soul
Suggesting a loss of integrity or a deep emotional impact.
Down in the underground
Symbolizing a descent into a challenging or unknown situation.
On the Cally Road
Referring to a specific road, possibly associated with hardships or challenges.
Where Billy don't make no sound
Highlighting silence or secrecy related to someone named Billy.
To the eyes of the law
Being observed or judged by the legal system.
Who he knew before
Referring to past connections or relationships with the law.
Banging, banging, banging
Describing a repeated, forceful action, possibly a demand for entry.
On his basement door
Connecting the speaker's soul to the underground journey.
There goes my soul
Reiterating the loss or impact on the speaker's soul.
Sailing round the underground to here
Continuing the metaphor of the soul's journey through the underground.
And so my senses line me
Suggesting heightened awareness or alertness in a different environment.
Chased into another zone
Being pursued or driven into a different mental or emotional state.
No pretences find me
Emphasizing authenticity or sincerity in the face of challenges.
Other than the effort of the journey home
Expressing the genuine effort involved in the journey back home.
There goes my soul
Repeating the idea of the soul being affected or changed.
Down in the underground
Reiterating the descent into a difficult or unfamiliar place.
On the Cally Road
Referencing a specific road and the challenges associated with it.
Where Billy don't make no sound
Echoing the silence or mysterious nature surrounding Billy.
To the eyes of the law
Being under scrutiny or judgment by legal authorities.
Who he knew before
Revisiting past connections or interactions with the law.
Banging, banging, banging
Describing a forceful and repeated action, possibly related to confrontation.
On his basement door
Connecting the soul's journey to the persistent banging on the door.
There goes my soul
Reiterating the impact or loss of the speaker's soul.
Sailing round the underground to here
Continuing the metaphor of the soul's journey through the underground.
Sailing round the underground to here
Repeating the notion of the soul's journey through the underground.
Sailing round the underground to here
Concluding with the continued imagery of the soul's journey.
