Soma's Revelations: Unveiling Life's Hardships and Choices
Lyrics
Soma is what they would take when
Soma is a substance taken during difficult times.
Hard times opened their eyes
Challenging experiences make people more aware.
Saw pain in a new way
New perspectives reveal pain in a different light.
High stakes for a few names
There are significant risks for a select few.
Racing against sunbeams
Intense competition, racing against time.
Losing against fig trees
Facing losses against obstacles represented by fig trees.
In your eyes
The expression of emotions or truth in one's eyes.
And I am
The speaker begins a personal reflection.
Stop
A pause or interruption in the speaker's thoughts.
And go
A command to stop and go, possibly reflecting inner conflict.
In your eyes
Reiteration of the importance of eyes in expressing emotions.
See, I am
The speaker affirms their identity.
Stop
Another pause or interruption in the speaker's thoughts.
And go
Reiteration of the internal conflict to stop and go.
In your eyes
Emphasizing the significance of the eyes in this internal struggle.
Let's go
An invitation or encouragement to take action.
When I saw her for the first time
A flashback to the first encounter with someone.
Lips moved as her eyes closed
Description of the person's lips moving as their eyes close.
Heard something in his voice
Recognition of something in the person's voice.
"And I'll be there," he says
A promise to be there, followed by departure.
Then he walks out
The person exits, leaving the speaker behind.
Somehow he was tryin'
The person was attempting too hard to conform.
Too hard to be like them
A reflection on the difficulty of fitting in.
And I am
The speaker returns to self-reflection.
Stop
Pause or conflict in the speaker's thoughts.
And go
Command to stop and go, repeating the inner struggle.
In your eyes
Emphasis on the importance of eyes in this struggle.
And I am
Reaffirmation of the speaker's identity.
Stop
Pause or conflict in the speaker's thoughts.
Oh, darlin' let me go
An appeal to be released or let go.
Tried it once and they liked it
An attempt at something that was enjoyed.
And tried to hide it
Efforts to conceal the enjoyment.
Says, "I've been doin' this twenty-five years"
A declaration of experience but with a refusal to listen.
Well, I'm not listenin' no more
A decision to stop listening to advice or criticism.
And these friends, they keep asking for more
Pressure from friends for more of the same.
Oh, yeah
An acknowledgment of this demand.
Oh, but that's it
An indication that the speaker has reached their limit.
