Hole In My Soul
Aerosmith · Nine Lives
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)
Yeah there´s a hole in my soul
But one thing I´ve learned
For every love letter written
There´s another burned
(So you tell me how it´s gonna be this time)
Is it over, Is it over
´Cause I'm blowin´ out the flame
Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be
The one who turns the knife inside of me
Take a look and you will find is nothing there girl
Yeah I swear, I'm telling you girl yeah ´cause
There´s a hole in my soul that´s been killing me forever
It´s a place where a garden never grows
There´s a hole in my soul, yeah I should have known better
´Cause your love´s like a thorn without a rose
I'm as dry as a seven-year drought
I got dust for tears
And I'm all tapped out
(Sometimes I feel broken 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 something tells me this time I'm down to my last licks)
´Cause if it´s over, Then it´s over
And it´s driving me insane
Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be
The one who turns the knife inside of me
Take a look and you will find is nothing there girl
Yeah I swear, I'm telling you girl yeah ´cause
There´s a hole im my soul that´s been killing me forever
It´s a place where a garden never grows
There´s a hole im my soul, Yeah, I should have known better
´Cause your love´s like a thorn without a rose
If it´s over, It is over
´Cause I'm blowin´ out the flame
Take a walk outside your mind
Tell me how it feels to be
The one who turns the knife inside of me
Take a look and you will find
is nothing there girl yeah I swear
I'm telling you girl, yeah ´cause
There´s a hole in my soul that´s been killing me forever
It´s a place where a garden never grows
There´s a hole in my soul, Yeah, I should have known better
´Cause your love´s like a thorn without a rose
About Hole In My Soul
"Hole In My Soul" stands as a defining track from Aerosmith's 1998 album *Nine Lives*, marking a pivotal return to the band's classic hard rock roots following their hiatus. The song features the signature blend of Joe Perry's melodic guitar work and Steven Tyler's powerful vocals, capturing the raw energy that characterized their work in the 1980s and early 1990s.

It complements the album's broader exploration of themes regarding life's challenges and resilience, delivered with the same gritty authenticity that made Aerosmith a cornerstone of the genre. The track remains a staple of their live performances, showcasing the band's capacity to deliver high-energy rock that resonates with audiences across generations.
