(1) The message that "Soma" by the Strokes is trying to leave us with is that relationships can be very painful and unpredictable. (2) People take soma to relieve themselves from pain, and it is needed in relationships that are painful/ hurtful because they need to try to forget. (3) The song says, "Soma is what they would take when/ Hard times opened their eyes/ Saw pain in a new way". (4) Soma is needed to cure the relatively new and different pain that people experience when they are hurt by others in a relationship. (5) You never know what is coming next when you're interacting with others, especially in a relationship. (6) In the song, the author shows this by saying, "Well I am stop/ And Go/ In your eyes". (7) Since stop and go are opposites, it emphasizes how confusing and unpredictable relationships can be. (8) Due to this unreliability and pain that can be felt, soma can be taken to make it less real and more ideal.
