The protagonist recognizes the need to summon inner strength and break free from the chains that bind her. This theme of empowerment is further emphasized in the chorus, where she yearns for 'the freedom to walk out that door and find the love I've been yearning for.'

The song's climax is a declaration of independence and self-worth. The protagonist asserts, 'You can't control me anymore, 'cause I am walking out this door,' symbolizing her decision to leave the toxic relationship and reclaim her life. The repetition of 'It needs to find a certain love' underscores her determination to seek a love that is genuine and fulfilling. Judy Torres' 'My Soul' is a poignant reminder of the importance of self-respect and the courage it takes to break free from unhealthy relationships.
