Project 86: Soma Meaning
Soma Lyrics
Those shadows coming my way
Comforting me with their searchlights
To guide me home again
“We will take
We will take
That wretched heart away
And when you come to
You’ll thank us
For the new you we’ve...

I think this song is ultimately about someone who is so spiritually tired and lost and broken that they allow themselves to be guided and shaped by demons. "The only thing I recall is shadows coming my way, comforting me with their searchlights to guide me home again." Whether it's talking about this process being accomplished through society or more directly, I don't know. But it's clearly about somebody being so sick and tired of the pain in his heart that he is willing to give his heart away, to have it removed ("I'm tired of being myself"), and then discovering that they are just making him more lost and more empty ("Now I'm fading away, fading, fading, far away from me"). Whether the person finally decides that it's better to lose his heart and live with a battery, or whether he finally decides to claim his heart back, is not addressed in the song. It's left open.
