Life is absurd. However, that doesn't mean it's meaningless; it means that meaning is created by human folly. You don't have ultimate control over your own life, but you have some. Yes, you are a deterministic pile of matter; this is nothing to be sad about.
'Soul' is not a well-defined term. It's not a helpful term to use. Regarding the nature of the soul, the best position is philosophical non-cognitivist; that is to say, to realise that there is no singular concept of the soul, therefore no-one can have anything useful to say about it.
