Thunderstorms
Soja Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say way back when knew how but there's nothing telling you now
Just to do your right and not your wrong
When wrong is easy and right is hard

And we've all got our weaknesses and only you know what yours is
But your tomorrows are all that seems to escape from your lips

But I don't wanna wait today
For something that might never ever show it's face again
I promise that I've heard too much
I'm ready, tell me
It seems ridiculous to trust
And none of your games you'll play
There's one life, one world, one chance
And I don't wanna wait

I don't wanna wait

Moving forward to right now a government that let you down
A racist leader no one trusts
That a army that's been good to us
And a poverty on a global scale
A fragile world with fragile layer and a fragile water
I'm sure they'll put off to tomorrow

But I don't wanna wait today
For something that might never ever show it's face again
I promise that I've heard too much
I'm ready, tell me
It seems ridiculous to trust
And none of your games you play
There's one life, one world, once chance
And I don't wanna wait

I don't wanna wait
I don't wanna wait for you and your games now
I just can't wait, I just can't

I'm skipping forward to the ending to that one or two impending to that moment
Then all that stops and one day when that bottom drops
And we remember how our voices had a chance
Yea we had our choice but time is a luxury we as the people, we might not no longer afford

So I don't wanna wait today
For something that might never ever show it's face again
I promise that I've heard too much
I'm ready, tell me
It seems ridiculous to trust
And none of your games you play
There's one life, one world once chance
And I don't wanna wait

There's not enough time, so I don't wanna wait
You know I've got a lot on my mind, so I can't wait
I could reach the end of the line, so I don't wanna wait
Oh I'm not fine

Don't wanna wait




It's not for me
I don't wanna wait

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Soja's "Thunderstorms" address the concept of time- how we spend it, how it passes, and how it shapes our lives. The first verse talks about how different values and morals were followed in the past, but now people are lost and have lost their sense of direction. Wrong has become too easy and doing the right thing has become difficult. The second verse talks about how the government has let people down, how racism still exists and is perpetuated by leaders, and how the world is facing issues like poverty and environmental degradation. The song's message is that life is fragile and unpredictable, and we need to take action now instead of waiting for a future that might never come.


The chorus repeats the line, "I don't want to wait", emphasizing the urgency and the need for action. The artist asserts that they have heard too much and cannot wait anymore. The line "It seems ridiculous to trust" shows the artist's lack of faith in the systems that have been put in place to govern and manage our lives. The final verse talks about how time is a luxury that we may not be able to afford. We need to act now and take charge of our lives before it's too late. The artist is asking us to consider what we are doing with our time and to use it wisely.

Soja - thunderstorm



I don't know one thing about you not
Knowing a thing about me
'Cause we drop down into all your
Thunderstorms and claim it's not
Your lightning
And now the fire is gone in my eyes
They grow cold for a while
And I'don't feel your heat
These words have been said
Over and around it, but
I don't hear no talking, you're talking

I'll be stopping, I'll be starting
I'll be wondering why we don't
Know what we do
I'm a be the same, even if I'm
Walking by myself
I'm just wondering why

I never ever saw us clearly
And clearly we're both to blame
But silence and progress
Were my thing
And your thing was calling
My name
Now you can see your whole
Life without me
I'm quietly in mine without You
The distance and the loneliness
And the phone calls offsetting
Them, there's some things what
I guess I can't do, too


I'll be stopping, I'll be starting
I'll be wondering why we don't
Know what we do
I'm a be the same, even if I'm
Walking by myself
I'm just wondering why
Yeah!!

My name remains the prisoner
Trapped in my world that's gone
And I'm the only one
Who still lives here
And I've got all the lights off
Now you can stop and
Visit me in my cell
And we can talk if we've
Got the time
Then you can start to
Go on your way
'Cause I believe I've found
I've found mine

So I'll be stopping, I'll be starting
I'll be wondering why we don't
Know what we do
I'm a be the same, even if I'm
Walking by myself
I'm just wondering why we don't know

I'll be stopping, I'll be starting
I'll be wondering why we don't
Know what we do
I'm a be the same, even if I'm
Walking all alone
I'm just wondering why.

Tradução:
Eu não sei nada sobre você...não
Não sei nada sobre mim
Porque enfrento todas as suas
Trovoadas e você afirma que não é
O seu raio
E agora o fogo se foi dos meus olhos
Eles ficaram frios durante algum tempo
E eu não sinto seu calor
Essas palavras foram ditas
Repetidas vezes, mas
Eu não ouvi nenhuma conversa, do que você está falando

Eu vou parar, eu vou começar,
Eu vou me perguntar por que nós não
Sabemos o que fazer...
Eu vou ser o mesmo, mesmo se eu estiver
Caminhando sozinho
Eu só estou querendo saber por quê

Eu nunca vi nós claramente
E claramente ambos tem culpa
Mas o silêncio e o progresso
Foram minha parte
E seu negócio era chamar
Meu nome
Agora você pode ver aquela sua
Vida sem mim
Estou tranquilamente na minha sem Você
A distância e a solidão
E alguns telefonemas compensantes
Deles, há algumas coisas que
Eu acho que não posso fazer, também

Então, meu nome permanece prisioneiro.
Aprisionado no meu mundo que se foi
E eu sou o único
Que ainda vive aqui
E eu tenho todas as luzes apagadas
Agora você pode parar e
Me visitar na minha cela
E nós podemos falar se
Teremos o tempo
Então você pode começar a
Ir pelo seu caminho
Porque eu acredito que eu encontrei
Eu encontrei o meu
