vanity
Soma Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

′Cause it's you
And you′ll never know my reign
'Cause it's you
And you′ll never know my

Such a lonely parallel
You are on my own carousel
I feel so fine and
You′re such a comfort to me, my girl

Nothing's gonna happen to you, girl
Nothing on the top of the truth
What would really happen to you, girl?
Nothing′s gonna happen to you

What would really happen
The sky's not far from heaven
To you

A smelling sound
A merry-go-round
I′ve lost myself
In such a place
'Cause it′s you
And you'll never know my name

I'm getting high
I′m kissing the sky
I′ve drunk my mind
On photograph
'Cause it′s you
And you'll never know my smile
Yes it′s true
'Cause it′s you
And you'll never know my

'Cause it′s Christmas everyday
I never felt so fun, my dear
I feel so fine and
You′re such a comfort to me, my girl

Nothing's gonna happen to you, girl
Nothing on the top of the truth
What would really happen to you, girl?
Nothing′s gonna happen to you

What would really happen
The sky's not far from heaven
To you

Hey, the Lackey′s Stump
I wanna take you back

What would really happen
The sky's not far from heaven to you, girl
Well, nothing on the top of the truth
What would really happen to you, girl?
Nothing′s gonna happen to you

What would really happen




The sky's not far from heaven
To you

Overall Meaning

The song "Vanity" by Soma is a beautiful composition that comes with captivating and abstract lyrics. The song highlights a sense of loneliness and parallelism between two individuals. The chorus, "Cause it's you, and you'll never know my name," underscores the disconnection between the singer and the subject of the song. It tells of a deep-seated love that is not shared or reciprocated. The line "such a lonely parallel" emphasizes that the two individuals mirror each other in some way, yet they remain distant and disconnected.


The verse "A merry-go-round, I've lost myself in such a place" seems to suggest that the singer is lost in the cycle of unrequited love. The theme of disconnection and the pain of unreturned love is further explored in the verse, "I'm getting high, I'm kissing the sky, I've drunk my mind on photograph." The singer is using alcohol and drugs to forget the pain of his unrequited love.
