SoMo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Had you coming when you called (called)
Now I need somebody
That can handle what's involved (-volved)
Gave you all you wanted
Took you down the boulevard (-vard)
Now I need somebody
I can lean on when it's hard (hard)
I need time to make some sense (sense)
Saving all my money
I've been tryna to make it flip (flip)
Candles burning out
You don't leave candles in the wind (wind)
Need someone to love me
You can love 'till the end
Baby, baby, baby, baby
You say you feel the phases
I told you I was aching
You know I need you more, oh
Baby, baby
You say you feel me fading
I warned you I was crazy
You know, you know, you know
Baby, baby, baby, baby
You say you feel the phases
I told you I was aching
You know I need you more, oh
Baby, baby
You say you feel me fading
I warned you I was crazy
You know, you know, you know
Baby
Come back with me, ah
Can you hold the weight?
Will you hold your weight up
Or will you let it fall?
Come back with me, ah
Can you hold the weight?
Say you'll hold me tight
You'll hold me right
You'll hold the weight up
Come back with me, ah
Can you hold the weight?
Will you hold your weight up
Or will you let it fall?
Come back with me, ah
Can you hold the weight?
Say you'll hold me tight
You'll hold me right
You'll hold the weight up
Pray you'll hold me up
Hold me tight
Will you fight the fight I fight? (fight)
Stand there by my side
When I've got nothing left in sight (sight)
You deserve this life
I told you every single time (time)
I've been slippin', right?
I need your hand to help me climb (climb)
Would you, would you hold the weight?
If your heart is beating dry, oh
Would you hold the weight?
When I'm on the other line, oh
Would you hold the weight?
Could you go beyond the pine?
If we're soul mates
Would you hold the weight?
Moonlight, then you close your eyes
Lay here with a lonely mind
Sunlight, when it's you and I
Say you'll love me all the time
I've tried for the longest time
That maybe there's another rhyme
But all the time, means all the time
Come back with me, ah
Can you hold the weight?
Will you hold your weight up
Or will you let it fall?
Come back with me, ah
Can you hold the weight?
Say you'll hold me tight
You'll hold me right
You'll hold the weight up
Come back with me, ah
Can you hold the weight?
Will you hold your weight up
Or will you let it fall?
Come back with me, ah
Can you hold the weight?
Say you'll hold me tight
You'll hold me right
You'll hold the weight up
The lyrics to SoMo's song "Weight" express the singer's need for a partner who can provide emotional support through tough times. The first verse reflects on the past, where the singer provided physical pleasure and material comforts to their partner, but now they require a deeper connection. Time is described as getting "rougher," and the singer needs someone to help "make sense" of things. They've been saving money and trying to make it "flip," suggesting that they are undergoing financial struggles. The metaphor of candles burning out alludes to the relationship burning out, as the partner did not provide the necessary support. The chorus repeats the phrase "Baby, baby, baby" and questions whether the partner is aware of the singer's needs. The bridge poses a series of questions, asking whether the partner would hold the weight of the singer's burdens, including emotional stress, dry spells, and distance, boldly challenging the relationship to determine whether they are "soul mates."
The song captures the universal feeling of needing someone to lean on, especially when it feels like everything is falling apart. There is a sense of desperation in the lyrics as the singer asks whether their partner is willing to put in the effort to hold the weight of the relationship. The repetition of the phrase "baby, baby, baby" in the chorus feels almost pleading, as if the singer is trying to find some reassurance that their partner will be there for them. Overall, "Weight" is an honest and vulnerable take on the struggles that come with relationships and how important it is to have someone who can support you through the hard times.

Lying here with a mind that feels empty and sad
Sunlight, when it's you and I
In sunlight, with you and me together
Say you'll love me all the time
Promise me that you will always love me

That maybe there is a better solution
But all the time, means all the time
But in the end, all that matters is that we are together and committed to each other
