Soma Holiday Lyrics

When I was a boy I used to ask the sky for things
I'd lay in bed reciting lines to the ceiling
I made requests as though the clouds were somehow listening
I read because somebody said it'd save me

Now I'm old and I believe only the things I see
The awful news and whatever's on the TV
The sad truth that the world is descending
If miracles exist then god is holding out on me

There is nothing waiting
There is nothing waiting
There is nothing waiting behind the clouds
Just a man pulling strings

We live in a sad world
I'm not a sad man
I'm thankful for the ones I love
My family and friends

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

To me, he's saying that he sees that God doesn't exist as evidenced by the cruel world around him. Then, immediately after disputing God's existence, he seems to use God as a metaphor for the various forces of life as "Just a man pullin strings". This is pretty confusing at first. He concludes by reinforcing the fact that even though this void has opened where childhood beliefs once were, it is filled by the joys of life that come from spending time with family, friends, and the other important things in life that we all take for granted.
