Soma Lyrics

Soma is what they would take when hard times opened their eyes
Saw pain in a new way
High stakes for a few names
Racing against sunbeams
Losing against their dreams
In your eyes, I am
Stop, and go
In your eyes, I am
Stop, and go
In your...

    Soma is a muscle relaxer that is frequently misused. It gives the person taking it a nice mellow high. People refer to the high as a "soma coma".

    You have to read Aldous Huxley's Brave New World before analyzing the song. Like the guy before me said.

    Soma is what they would take when
    Hard times opened their eyes
    Saw pain in a new way
    High stakes for few names
    Racing against sun beams
    Losing against fig trees
    In your eyes

    And I am.
    Stop.
    Go.

    When I saw her for the first time
    Lips moved as her eyes were closed
    Heard something in his voice
    "And I'll be there," he said
    Then he walks out
    Somehow he was trying
    Too hard to be like them

    Well I am,
    Stop.
    And Go.

    Tried it once and they liked it,
    Then tried to hide it
    Says, "I've been doing this for 25 years."
    But I'm not listening no more.
    And these friends, they keep asking for more.
    But that's it.
