Hole In My Soul Lyrics Meaning
There’s a hole in my Soul, and it will keep on killing me forever
The song “There’s a hole in my Soul†by Aerosmith, shows the feelings of a man who, emotionally, has been stabbed at his back by his true love. However, Stephen Tyler makes an awesome job by using specific metaphors to communicate the feelings in a deeper way; he’s not being lazy as other artists who will easily say they feel sad. He uses a refrain which says “There's a Hole in My Soul, that’s been killing me forever, it’s a place where a garden never growsâ€. He also demonstrates his great ability at using metaphors as he also respectfully directs to his girl as selfish and traitor, “take a walk outside your mindâ€. Even though at the beginning Stephen Tylor shows he is really angry, he says he hates her and that he can’t believe his love turned a knife inside him, at the end, he demonstrates that although all the horrible things she did to him, he still loves her, “she is still in my headâ€.
I also wanted to point out that in other versions of the song; the singer adds some words after the part in which he says “now I sleep with my boots on†in another version he says “I fu…. With my boots on and you fu…. With my head†this makes it even more emotionally active.
