Good For Your Soul Lyrics
you were not yourself
That your body was the same
but everything around you wasn't right
And images so strange and foreign
Flooded in like raging water
with someone you hardly knew
Whereas every time you closed your eyes,
you saw this person come alive
It kept you wide awake at night
You felt like you were burning up
In pain, you want to scream
Then you passed out in a dream
Just once or twice is good for your soul
Just once or twice is good for your soul
If you don't stop, you'll lose control
Just once or twice is good for your soul
With some nagging demon tugging at that tiny bell
Inside your mind
When suddenly that strange idea
Bursts into an inspiration
You grab for it and then
The whole thing slips right through your fingers
Just once or twice is good for your soul
Just once or twice is good for your soul
Just once or twice is good for your soul
It's good for your soul
It's good for your soul
It's good for your soul
It's good for your soul
It has been said that the use of psychoanalytical drugs can have a profound effect on the mind if used properly. Though I myself do not condone the use of illegal drugs such as LSD (acid) and psilocybin (mushrooms), I’d be a hypocrite not to admit, that in my own experience, the “once or twice” use of them had been very “good for my soul”.
Atropos, Atropos, Atropos! This song's about masturbation. Weren't you ever 14?
Ok ARCX, your right...gimme a sec and I'll fix this right up...
It has been said that pulling on yer pud can have a profound effect on the mind if done properly. Though I myself do not condone the use of hand lotion or furry gloves, I'd be a hypocrite not to admit, that in my own experience, that once or twice I've used live hamsters and it had been very good for my soul!!!
I agree with ARCX that the song might actually be about masturbation, and giving into vices under severe mental pressure. "You grab for it (your penis) and then, the whole thing (ejaculate) slips right through your fingers". "Once or twice is good for your soul" is a justification used by the speaking character.
Obsession seems to be the general theme between the two verses.
It's really about giiving in to one's basic urges and doing things like sex and drugs. One time is not going to kill you, but it can send you on a slippery slope to doom.
