Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sonny Fodera & Sonickraft's song Flashbacks appear to be about an inability to ignite or light one's soul. This repetition emphasizes that the soul cannot be lit, potentially suggesting that the person in question is feeling unfulfilled or unsatisfied in some way. The final repeated line, "Hey-yeah, I want your soul," adds complexity to the interpretation. It could be argued that the singer of the song is addressing someone else, expressing a desire to connect with them on a deeper level, to see their soul, and perhaps seeking reciprocation of this desire. Or it could be that the singer is addressing themselves, acknowledging their own need to ignite their soul and find connection.

Overall, the lyrics to Flashbacks by Sonny Fodera & Sonickraft express a yearning for something more in life, a search for connection and fulfillment that seems just out of reach. The repetition of the phrase "can't lit your soul" has a haunting quality, suggesting a deep dissatisfaction with the lack of meaning or purpose in life.
