"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.
