Omah Lay “Reason” Song/Lyrics Breakdown
In verses 1 and 2, Omah Lay sings about his disturbed state. His unrest condition has left him clueless about what to do or who to meet for help. He feels helpless but he is still hanging on.
He also sings about betrayal where people repay good with evil. In essence, you help someone to the top, and they treat you badly and want to unseat you from your top position.
In the pre-chorus and chorus, Omah Lay sings about having power over oneself. A part of him is giving up, and accepting things as they are, another part is holding on. According to him, you are the reason for your action or decision. You can choose to be peaceful or be sorrowful, you can choose to retain or discard memories. You can choose to keep on or surrender. Whatever you do there is a reason. Is it the quest for survival? You alone know.
