Hi there,

One of the songs of Morcheeba mentions the following:

I´d like to impress you with the backs of my soul...

Although I can imagine (by the context) which is the meaning, I would like to know what does it mean exactly.


Thanks in advance for your help!

They wanted me here just to show you my face,
But when it comes to the crunch, I just hide in disgrace.
You're calling me mad, but I know you're the same.
'Coz you got to be seen to be playing the game,
Yes, we got to be seen to be playing, the game.

I'd love to impress you with the backs of my soul,
I wanna take up your love but it's locked in a
I wanna take up your love, but it's locked in a vault.
