Ripping Up My Soul
Soul's Struggle: Embracing Chaos Through Rock
Lyrics
I told myself
I made a commitment to myself
I wasn't going back
I resolved not to revisit the past
I told myself
Reiteration of the commitment to move forward
I wasn't going back
Reiteration of the decision to avoid going back
I told myself
Reaffirmation of personal determination
I wasn't one of them
Emphasis on not being part of a certain group
I told myself
Reiteration of not identifying with a particular category
I wasn't one of them
Emphasis on not belonging to a specific group
But when the smoke finally cleared my eyes
After a period of confusion or difficulty
It took me too long to realize
Realization took a considerable amount of time
Oh, this is all I know
The current situation is the only familiar one
It's ripping up my soul
The situation is causing significant emotional distress
How do you grow up
Questioning the process of growing up
When you still love rock and roll
Despite aging, the love for rock and roll persists
And how do you grow up
Feeling a lack of control despite the aging process
When you feel so out of control
Struggling with the challenges of maturity
Just give me a sign
Desire for guidance or clarity
Oh, you've gotta give me a sign
Request for a clear indication or signal
I hate myself
Expressing self-hatred
You know I'm such a spazz
Acknowledging personal flaws or imperfections
I hate myself
Reiteration of self-loathing
Oh, you know I'm such a spazz
Acknowledgment of being socially awkward
I run so far but it makes no sense
Physical distance doesn't bring clarity
It's on my back and it's on the fence
The issue is present, both evident and undecided
It's everywhere I go
The problem is pervasive
It's ripping up my soul
The situation is causing significant emotional distress
It's ripping up my soul tonight
Repetition emphasizing the ongoing internal struggle
It's ripping up my soul tonight
-It's ripping up my soul tonight
-It's ripping up my soul tonight
-It's ripping up my soul tonight
-It's ripping up my soul tonight
-It's ripping up my soul tonight
-It's ripping up my soul tonight
-It's ripping up my soul
-It's ripping up my soul
-It's ripping up my soul
-Oh, it's ripping up my soul tonight
Highlighting the current intensity of emotional distress
