Soon Be To Nothing
Indigo Girls · Other Songs - Indigo Girls
With a sagging heart and a break apart
Voices in me stood as thick as thieves
With no sympathy for the beggars art
I have passed these pines 'bout a million times effortlessly
Now I grip the wheel fear is what I feel
At the slow unraveling of me
You tell me it's temporary it's a matter of time
By God don't you think I know it's in my mind
It's right over left and healing the then
I'll soon be to nothing but I don't know when
Well the way I flee on my crooked feet
Barn happy horse on a one-track course
Then I self despise cryin' out my eyes
'Cause the happy trail led me to remorse
But the road is long and the song is gone
I blow empty in my cicada shell
If I saw my choice I might find my voice
But I don't know when and I just can't tell
You tell me it's temporary just a matter of time
By God don't you think I know it's in my mind
It's right over left and healing the then
I'll soon be to nothing but I don't know when
Deep behind my face is a safer place
But old gears are hitched tight to the gate
It's a daily grind waiting to unwind
Till I hear that click that unlocks my fate
So tell me it's temporary it's a matter of time
By God don't you think I know it's in my mind
It's right over left and healing the then
I'll soon be to nothing but I don't know when
I'll soon be to nothing but I don't know when
I'll soon be to nothing but I don't know when
Soon Be To Nothing
Indigo Girls' 'Soon Be To Nothing' stands as a poignant example of the duo's signature acoustic folk-rock style, characterized by Amy and Emily Werner's harmonies and introspective songwriting. Released during a period where the band frequently explored themes of relationship dynamics and personal vulnerability, the track exemplifies their ability to blend raw emotional honesty with melodic accessibility. The recording captures the group's signature sound, featuring stripped-down instrumentation that allows the vocals and lyrical content to take center stage. As part of their broader discography, the song reflects the band's commitment to addressing complex human emotions through music that resonates with listeners seeking authenticity and connection.
