Sodastream Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who's gonna hang his robes
Who's gonna bring the wedding down
It was only one
It was only one
It's over now for me
The evening has come bought a lighter meal
You were holding out
You were holding out
Cause what you need
What you need is three days old and changing
You were traveling blind
But you felt like this would feel
And somethings wrong, somethings wrong
Cause you felt like that in the mountains
You were coughing blood and not feeling worthwhile
So come, what was that sound
It was me breaking up losing out and falling down
And gather your hands
And blanket that smile
I wasn't big enough, big enough to fall behind
So when your needle comes
You won't be steady armed today
When something changes you'll be heading out to say
Who's gonna bury the sun now
Who's gonna water the sand
Who's gonna fall out and break now
This heavy hand
This heavy hand
It's ending now for me
The morning broke bought a heavy meal
Heading out over the sea
You were holding out
You were holding out
Cause what you need
What you need is three days old and changing
You were traveling blind
But you felt like this would feel
And somethings wrong, somethings wrong
Cause you felt like that in the mountains
You were coughing blood and not feeling worthwhile
So come, what was that sound
It was me breaking up losing out and falling down
And gather your hands
And blanket that smile
I wasn't big enough, big enough to fall behind
So when your needle comes
You won't be steady armed today
When something changes you'll be heading out to say
The lyrics of Sodastream's song "Boss" are rich with imagery and emotion, describing a sense of betrayal and loss while also telling a story of self-discovery and acceptance. The repeated questions of "who's gonna blow the whistle now?" and "who's gonna bury the sun now?" hint at some sort of power dynamic or conflict, perhaps between a boss or authority figure and the singer. The lines "you were traveling blind / but you felt like this would feel" suggest that the singer was once naive or unaware of what was really going on, but now sees the situation more clearly. The image of the singer "heading out under the sea" and later "heading out over the sea" could represent a journey or escape, while the lines "cause what you need / what you need is three days old and changing" suggest the singer is searching for something that isn't easily defined or fixed.
The repeated line "so come, what was that sound / it was me breaking up losing out and falling down" captures a sense of vulnerability and loss, as the singer admits to not being "big enough" to handle the situation. However, there is also a sense of hope or determination in lines like "when your needle comes / you won't be steady armed today / when something changes you'll be heading out to say." This could be interpreted as the singer recognizing their own strength and resilience, even in the face of uncertainty and change.
