"Soma" by The Strokes

(1)The theme of "Soma" by the Strokes is when suffering and pain are averted, a person can't be an individual. (2)This is shown several times in the song. (3)"Soma is what they would take when hard times opened their eyes," shows how when people came across pain and suffering, they took soma-a drug that induces euphoria-to get rid of the bad feelings. (4)This causes them to lose their self and individuality, as shown in the repeated lines, "And I am Stop." (5)As soon as the speaker starts being themself, they are stopped by the soma. (6) The lines, "And these friends, they keep asking for more. Oh, yeah, oh but that's it," also show how all the people, even friends, care about is getting more and more of the soma.

Loss of Innocence

Innocence is being unaware of the darker sides of life and believing that everything and everyone is good.
Innocence can be lost when people learn the truth about life, that bad things happen and everything isn't always happy

-The background looks like snake scales, and snakes are symbolic in the Bible of gaining knowledge and losing innocence, as in the story of Adam and Eve
-The girl covering herself shows she's not innocent, because innocent little kids run around wuthout shame, as did Adam and Eve before the fall
-The woman to the side looks like she's coming to clothe the girl, because non-innocent people know they need clothing to hide their bodies

Bo Bartlett

-The man is cruel to animals-hunting is a cruel activity, and he shot a doe

-The man doesn't care about the environment-the trees are cut down, there's a dead deer, and the car is old (which usually means gas-guzzly)

-The kid is not as important as hunting, cars, or the woman (he's off to the side), which could be a reflection of the southern way-the kid is alone and off to the side
