Giants
Lael Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Learned to fend for myself
Then one day I found your footprints
That lead my right to your house
You greeted me with your warm eyes
And extended out your hand
Somehow I knew that I could trust you
To teach me how to be a man
But then we grew up together
I studied the world as you studied me
We built an empire fit for two but
I only saw what you let me see
You better watch out there are giants in the sky
Get ready they're coming for you
As this house became a prison
I served a sentence without choice
My old friend became the warden
The one who locked away my voice
But we grew up together
How did I let you get this close?
Your warm eyes they turned to fire and said
"Boy you're nothing but a host."
But I know something that you don't
The wind told the forest
The forest then told me
It's time you meet the ones
Who live where sky meets sea
The wind told the forest
The forest then told me
It's time you meet the ones
Who live where sky meets sea
But what about the warden
He took everything I loved
My son the ones who are coming
Even he's afraid of
You better watch out there are giants in the sky
Ready or not they're coming for you
You better watch out there's giants in the sky
Get ready they're coming for you
They're coming for you
And they're coming for you
They're coming for you
They're coming for you
The lyrics of “Giants” by Lael take the listener on a journey of self-discovery and betrayal. The song opens with the singer reminiscing about his simple life, living in the forest and fending for himself. One day, he comes across footprints that lead him to the house of his friend, whom he trusts to teach him how to be a man. As they grow up together, the singer realizes that his friend has not revealed all to him, and he only saw what his friend allowed him to see. The singer realizes that he has been betrayed and that there are giants in the sky coming for his old friend.
The singer feels trapped in the house, serving a sentence without choice, his old friend becoming the warden, locking away his voice. He believes that he let his friend get too close to him, and this allowed him to get betrayed. The singer then reveals that the wind told him that he needs to meet the ones who live where the sky meets the sea. However, there is a warden who took everything he loved, including his son, causing him to be afraid of the giants coming for him. The song ends with a warning that the giants are coming for them, and they better watch out.
