Cover art for Until I Believe In My Soul lyrics by Dexys Midnight Runners

This is a song about drug addiction, coming out of a high into a low ("hollow sorrow") the author question whether that's "all there is" and if it's the "same for everyone". The author knows withdrawal that it's "the battle between the body and the soul" but in the end he will keep punishing the body, until he will perhaps start believing in his soul.
