So I asked ChatGPT to examine the lyrics to my song Soar and interpret it and it’s not perfect, but it’s real close. Here is the thing: I wrote this song 3 years ago about something I’m going through right now. I am on a spiritual journey that necessitates leaving people I love behind. This song uses a relationship as a metaphor for this but I haven’t been in a relationship in a very long time. Not interested.

An interpretive reflection on the song “Soar” by Poison Ice Cream

This reflection treats Soar as a symbolic and psychological document rather than a literal or mystical claim. It represents a genuine inner passage captured at a particular moment in time.

The song expresses an early stage of initiation: ascent without return. The narrator has crossed a threshold of awareness and can no longer remain unchanged. The sadness present in the song is not abandonment, but misalignment — two lovers occupying different stages of awareness.

At the time it was written, transformation felt urgent and binary: either the other comes along, or separation occurs. This reflects early differentiation rather than delusion or escape. Growth felt irreversible and lonely.

The unreachable companion in the song is not refusing out of cruelty or indifference — they simply cannot yet hear. This detail matters. It reveals grief without anger, which is a marker of authentic, early development rather than ego inflation.
