Amos Lee - Soul Suckers Lyrics

Don't worry about it , lots of artist change names ,


♡

Love conquers all ... Rev 3:5-6 , 12

Music Industry is all about the moment of fame. They suck you’re soul and after you stopped being trending they dissapear

Paradiso Mei 2019. Betoverende muziek met een fantastisch publiek. Wat een heerlijke positieve avond.

❤❤❤💙

Amos, has it every emotion, every feeling , even my heart, Awesome song!

It’s sad that so many auto-tuned artist get famous and make tons of money while a true talent like this goes under the radar

Some souls can't be bought.

My early 20s

thank you Snow Tha Product

This song is the TRUTH! It's like Al Green, Bill Withers and Seal made a song together. Amos Lee is one of the most underrated artists in the game.

Funny though, as he changed his name.

tony tunison 😂

I'm sure that's the point

Perfect.

Hauntingly beautiful song. Good lyrics, amazing musicality.

Amos fan 4 life

Good Stuff!!!

It's the music industry people. They use people and ruin their lives.

well I'm happy to see someone else shares my interpretation ;)

My interpretation also, music industry tries to do it to everyone, he'd know more about that than sex slavery, or that's my assumption.

play it girl! MAKE DAT MONEY!

I was under the assumption this was a song about human traffiking... when young girls get trapped, kidnapped and sold in the market as sex slaves. Keep that in mind and listen again, makes sense to the letter

Illuminati? I think this song's more about the music industry, my opinion though, lol.
Did you believe that the music industry discovered your talent?
Did you think fame and fortune would come from them stealing your talent?
Sucking the soul out of your music?
Who needs your own name, your own music, when all you need is a pretty face (pretty frame)

Well, that's my own interpretation, you guys go for what you think, lol.

this is the most beautiful song. and the most soulsearching love song ive ever heard. be yourself and be true.

yeah he's amazing! this song is about a stripper!

"dissapear, disappear forever - like a prince in your little fairytale" my favoruite line from the whole song <3

This dislike-bar; can't see it

It could be about having the trust to be who you are, and not to adjust to other peoples expectations. Otherwise you're living a lie. So perhaps not just about the music industry?

@heiohpei he/she could be right.. here's a source
illuminati-news(dot)com(slash)art-and-mc(slash)used-artists(dot)htm

p.s., YT doesn't allow links to be posted on comments so replace the signs in the brackets.

This song is so true, it's a warning for people! Take heed!!

leroy bell on x factor should sing this

@153redankh Maybe its not that specified... alot of people out there that manipulate other people to serve their own twisted goals,.. could be illuminati, music industry, or simple peer pressure...

Amos is a topLAD

i found another to love like tracy chapman O...M....G amazing!

Incredible voice. :)

gosto...

@sicksicksickness

Get a life...

I am loving every one of his songs today!! I put the "You Tube Mix for Amos Lee" on and I am hearing all of his songs today. I keep writing down the ones to buy on ITunes but I am writing every single one down! This is new obsession is going to be expensive!!!

@sicksicksickness He's talking about modern media, the commercial approach to any value that can be bottled

this song is beautiful, i just discovered it from Pandora... LOVE

AWESOME!!! MY FAVORITE NEW SONG!!!!

@sicksicksickness It sounds more like someone singing about the music industry

Awesome..............simply put

It's about the leaders of the world sucking us dry~

I thought who ever dies with the most toys wins and Amos Lee Doesn't need anymore toys he has them all,so stop and think about it,its all in these words He has more talent and gifts from the almighty that make him better than so many others,He is a great man
doing great things, with his gifts,sharing with us some great music,Like they say a musician speaks though his music,and gives ppl feeling inside to take with them.

I thought who ever dies with the most toys wins and Amos Lee Doesn't need anymore toys he has them all,so stop and think about it,its all in these words

Amazing song with even more amazing lyrics

I always thought it was about "fame", but the illuminati is so well connected to the celeb world, so that makes sense as well.

This song is awesome. I swear I heard this song before, but I don't know where...

@Lionelvm Actually, what i get of this songs is about a girl/model who believes everything she's told about what to do to "triumph"

The beauty stereotype which is inside the model world where you have to do everything.

And how they dump you when you don't accomplish it anymore.

The boy tells here not to believe which she is told.

He is on tour now, we just saw him at the Moore Theater in Seattle... amazing voice and person, a must see.

@sicksicksickness are u sure? source?

Whatever he wrote it about ,think maybe personal and only he knows ,but read between the lines and let it suit your circumstances if it helps you dig the song and get deeper into it .Beautiful song .Believe this guys is a genuis that doesn,t come along to often.

I think this is what it feels like to be famous...

just close your eyes and listening

@Lionelvm its about a musician selling out. its about a guy. that is all....goodbye

im just listening to this for the third time in a row..

@Lionelvm I personally think this song is about a struggling musician who is being told to be someone he/she isnt in order to get somewhere with his/her carreer.

@heiohpei
I agree 100% - I always thought of it in reference to a musician - starting out with their dream and eventually being transformed into a robot. Told what to wear, sing, etc ..

not bad !

@Lionelvm no the song is about the idustrie that they suck all your soul and change you from who you are and as soon as there done with you you'll never hear from them again

@Lionelvm hey its folk,folk is always all over the place unless you are the artist, but somethings folk make truth but they usually are all over the place.

@Lionelvm who cares this song is awesome:)

@Lionelvm It's about a young star who is on the verge of making it. He's warning her of all the 'sharks' and traps that are waiting for her. He is telling her be herself, to stay true to herself and believe in herself, not these fucken assholes!

this si not my usual style of music but its pretty awesome

amazing song. definetly about the music industry and stuff.

@Lionelvm i think he's singing about a girl who uses her beauty to seduce men so she can feel better about herself but that pleasure fades fast because instead of getting a higher self-esteem, she's only damaging it more. i dont know thats waht i thought

My love, so ashamed... nothing could be father from the truth. and beauty from a wicked world. so play girl, while it lasts this our time before the soul sucker come ;)

i can't stop replaying this song. it's an over looked song, with so much meaning

i can't replaying this song, it's an over looked song with so much meaning

@Lionelvm I think its partly about him having to change his name to Amos Lee, and the music industry 'sucking his soul' out in order to gain fame or be accepted

seein him tonight

have you ever heard music and thought im in love? i just did

this is more then music. <3

Amazing song. Definitely a personal favorite of his.

I think this song is about the music industry.

I thought it was about the whole music industry or any industry for that matter. How they find you and tell you how to be and change your name. Amos Lee is AKA Ryan Massaro. Pretend to be the one who is looking out for you when in reality they are just trying to "suck you soul" from you and make what they think is theirs. Love the song! my fav so far.

no, it's about the big label record industry, and how they own and control the artists they sign. so in a sense yes, the slavery that is the binding contract of signing to a major label.

its about selling out (your soul) to the industry, in this case the music industry. listen to the song again with that in mind and it should make sense

oh my gosh..so true. i didnt find a connection until u mentioned it
love this song

i love this song...it reminds me of marilyn monroe.

.. its done, its complete... a rap remix.. uch..

i think it means what can happen to anyone trying to make it doing anything if you rely on the opinions of others to get where you want to be....watch out for the soul suckers....i agree with heiohpei, he puts the message in the context of a model.

awesome....a rap remix of this song would be incredible

one of the best songs I've ever heard. It has a Seal type of power.
I listen to Amos Lee so much I wake up with his songs in my head- which means they were in my dreams or pre-waking subconscious state.

Awesome!

luv this song
its so truthful
:)

Amos Lee RULES!

no words

"Nobody wants honesty when looking at a perfect frame"

One of the most beautiful songs ever.

I thought it was about record labels and how they can treat artists badly

His best song by far ! Sleep to it, i did and it was niiice;)

hmm..
for me it sounds like a song about a model/star. perhaps amos wrote it for all these new casting-shows.. don't know..

such an awesome song and he has the most beautiful voice! its just so calming!

i saw him at Wal Mart in ashevile today. that was weird cuz i didn't know who he was until my friend told me

this is my favorite amos lee song " nothing is more powerful than the truth my love and nothing is more powerful than beauty in a wicked world" those are my favorite lyrics

pięknie;)

No problem... ;)

Beautiful song !!!

actually that was the reason to upload the masterpiece ;)

love this song!

This song makes my heart ache...seriously.

StellaB 10 years later and its still making hearts ache! Just too soulful.
