The chorus of the song takes a more objective perspective, as it condemns the effect of society's superficiality and its addiction to gold, fame and status. The song was one that the girl loved and played extensively, and they enjoyed living it up with the boys. However, rolling off these tracks can leave one derailed and with no chance of seeing what lies ahead. The train represents the tracks that we set for ourselves and what we believe they hold for our futures. In the second verse, the song shifts towards a more melancholic tone as the band recalls the inevitability of change and how it can derail our encounters at times. The narrator is in awe of the girl, and her liveliness, promised by the music, helps her come alive. The lyrics suggest that love was always around, but it takes an old-time jive for it to be played well and seen. But I could D Run to your apartment D A Hope to get you started better than before A7 And I could D Write it in a poem D Pretend I used to know you A E A Better than before Chorus A Why is it I. The opening lines of the song "Souls" by Hippocampus transports us back in time, to the streets where the kids are new, and takes us on a journey of reminiscence, love, and a will to stay true to one's self, against the superficiality of the world. ![]()
