Soso Lyrics Breakdown
The number-one hit song from Omah Lay’s album Boy Alone, Soso, has taken over the charts months after its initial release. The hit song is really competing with some new, popular tracks to stay in the daily and real-time charts for Nigeria’s Apple Music Top 100 Songs. This is not shocking considering that there are over 40,000 videos titled “Soso” that are now trending on Tik Tok. Even on the daily Spotify Nigeria and BoomPlay list, “Soso” once again peaked at the top.
In the song “Soso”, Omah Lay sings about his numerous challenges, fears, and pains, which are causing him to lose track and become unbalanced. Though it’s quite unclear the source of his pains, Omah Lay hopes that a muse, which is “Soso”, will drive him to conquer his pain and misery.
The main theme of Soso’s lyrics portrays Omah Lay’s pain and how it has become almost impossible for him to explain his misery and why he is experiencing the things he is or why he is feeling how he feels. All in all, the artist does not hold back in demonstrating that he has a dark side and his uncontrollable actions stem from pain. He really just wants it all to be over, so he can feel good.
Relatability
Basically, most of us go through stuff – it could be emotional stress, mental health issues, midlife crisis, or the world is just taking its toll on us – but we end up managing to have our coping mechanisms on standby. And that`s what really keeps us going. These coping mechanisms could be faith, drugs (and other influences), a muse, soulmate, family, etc. To Omah Lay, it’s Soso. Omah Lay Soso Lyrics
Listeners have excellent reasons to believe that Soso is just a lady by whom brilliant artist Omah Lay is captivated by, given the kind of explicit, sexual themes Omah Lay is notorious for. But then, we all know how frequently artists use the opposite sex as a muse and inspiration for their work through intimate experiences and companionship. Though according to some critics, the music video for the song and the way Omah Lay uses the word “Soso” in the video implies that it has a very high chance of being about a goddess/deity whom Omah Lay calls out to in a bid to erase his pain and misery.
While Omah Lay uses this song to express his pain, the song is quite relatable. He blatantly admits that he has been in a situation that has caused him a great deal of misery and that he is unable to explain why he is behaving the way he is. Omah Lay also references the special people we all have who, when we share our pain with them, could make it go away.
Delivery
Maybe asides from the pre-releases, the best track on Omah Lay’s debut album, Boy Alone, could as well be the smash hit -Soso. The tune might be quite gloomy but it comes with a catchy rhythm, plus the lyrics reflect multiple meanings that discuss his several issues
According to reports, Omah Lay’s Boy Alone album was a description of the singer’s battle with depression, and this fact is particularly apparent in the song, Soso. The story, however, may have changed when the song’s music video is released.
In the song’s visuals, a distressed Omah Lay repeatedly bows before a masquerade while being tormented by three distinct dark female forms. Many viewers of the Spiritualized video have criticized Omah Lay for idolatry and demonization. Did that novel strategy succeed? Oh well, it got everyone talking and it’s quite unique in relation to the usual visuals we get in the industry.
The video and song lyrics should not, however, be interpreted solely as implying that Omah Lay is in a cul or is an idol worshipper. Plus, even though Omah Lay’s message in the song is elusive, the warning signs of his bravery, depression, and urgent need for his muse are still obvious. Omah Lay Soso Lyrics
Replay Value
One of the main reasons Soso is back on the charts 5 months after release is its good replay value. The smash hit has been up there for a while now too. The fusion of alternative sound, the African-style background rhythm, and his uniquely crafted vocals and witty lyrics over the perfectly-mastered instrumentals just make the music so elite, you have yourself playing the music over and over again.
