Hole In My Soul

This song tears me up...I can relate to it fully. When someone you care so much lets you down it leaves a bruise within yourself that no other relationship you might have will heal. So it always reminds me of that friend-lover of mine I used to have, maybe someday I will be brave enough to tell him how much he hurt me inside, and that he really was the one that turned the knife inside of me acting like he did. And he left a hole. Slowly stepping out of that hurting situation and say goodbye is what this song means to me, and the pain it leaves you, even knowing that's the best and only thing you can do. These lines tell me so:

"I'm as dry as a seven year drought, I got dust for tears and I'm all tapped out Sometimes I feel broke and can't get fixed

I know there's been all kinds of shoes underneath your bed Now I sleep with my boots on but you're still in my head And somethin' tells me this time I'm down to my last licks..."

this is my favorite Aerosmith song ever... I fell in love with this song when it first came out.. i remember. I had just been allowed to watch MTV and then they had this music video and this nerdy guy is like cloning and making these beautiful girls for him but they'd leave him for a jock or whoever, (He gets a chick in the end dont worry). I love the song though.

I get to see them tonight live and i hope they play this song :D

this song is dedicated to natalia abolutely she is the one who turns the knife insede of me

this song brings back good memories...my best friend and i listened to it 8 hours straight...her boyfriend just made her a cd with this song on it they broke up not too long after we pretty much became obsessed with it...they had it on the jukebox at my old job...i played it for the one who turns the knife inside of me...and even though it was two years ago...he still does, sadly enough lol

can't really understand the words fully until it happens to you... :(

Great song, but depressing at the same time, because its seems to me this song is about still being in love with someone who doesn't love you back, but at the same time keeps stringing you along and playing with your emotions. So you go out to find someone to take their place:

"I'm down a one way street With a one night stand With a one track mind Out in no man's land The punishment sometimes Don't seem to fit the crime"

but the thing is you can't replace this person and you're left feeling all lost and then you finally realize that you can move on and you feel nothing.

this is my favorite Aerosmith song! got me though some tough times haha.

I luv this song!! it's one of my favorites. I think is about being hurted by someone you really love and feel uncapable of ever love again It's about feelin' dead inside cause you lost your true love and you're sufferin' "There's a hole in my soul that's been killing me forever it's a place where a garden never grows" Very sad and very intense Awesome song!! Steven's voice is amazin'!! This guys rock!!!

he wants to know if its really over for good this time. and he wants the other person to think about it deeply. and the hole is something thats been getting at him for a while, and hes been trying to replace it with other things but the pain eventually catches up

i can't believe noone commented on this! this is such a sad, beautiful song about betrayal.
