The concept of a soul, and it being lost/destroyed via genital mutilation?

I'm curious about this part of the human experience as I've heard this word "soul" used before but I never understood what it was referring to.

I listen to a lot of usually aggressive music that deals with this topic of the singer and their soul being lost or destroyed in some form.

I believe these men are all singing about the same related cause... ( I could be wrong... but I really do feel a connection between them all)

Here are some examples

I can guess why the soul would be lost/destroyed via the unimaginable pain of genital mutilation, which im guessing causes parts of the brain to shut down... maybe for good?

And if those parts hadn't been shutdown there would be a feeling of this "soul" people speak of?

What I'm getting at is. Just what is this "soul" they're referring to? We learn that whatever it is, it's gone, but just what IS IT that's been lost?

Anyone?
