Energy
Ashes of Soma Lyrics

The lyrics of Ashes of Soma’s song “Energy” suggest a relationship that has gone sour due to one person’s misconceptions and misjudgments. The opening lines indicate that the singer has expressed their honest feelings to their partner, but may have been too frank or too certain of their position. The partner’s negative reaction to this may have resulted in the situation becoming worse. The singer seems to be questioning whether they are the one who wants the relationship or whether they are the one who is in the wrong. The chorus, “I’m burning in your thoughts, your energy is mine, I’m terrified I’m seeing how I look inside your mind,” suggests that the singer is struggling to understand their partner’s thoughts and is perhaps concerned that their partner does not reciprocate their feelings. The repeated line, “walking away from me was all you were thinking,” suggests that the partner has already mentally checked out of the relationship, leaving the singer with feelings of betrayal and rejection.

As the song progresses, the singer appears to become increasingly jaded and resentful of their partner. They claim to hate the things that turn their partner on and seem to be fighting a conscious battle against their own feelings. The repeated line, “all those times alone and all those times we shared,” suggests that the singer is grappling with memories of happier times and is struggling to understand how things have gone so wrong. The final lines of the song suggest that the singer is ready to walk away from the relationship, claiming that they are the one who is now “walking away.” The repeated refrain, “it’s all you were thinking,” suggests that the singer now believes that their partner’s thoughts were only ever focused on leaving the relationship.

Overall, the lyrics of Ashes of Soma’s “Energy” suggest a relationship that has gone sour due to misunderstandings and perceived betrayals. The singer is struggling to understand their partner’s thoughts and feelings while feeling increasingly jaded and resentful themselves. The repeated refrain of walking away suggests that the relationship is now irreparably damaged.
