Some may remember Boondox more as the artist Turn Coat Dirty from the first round of the Underground Psychos Contest or even earlier as part of S.H.I (Southern Hustlas Inc.) with Smokey and Produk.
The Newton County native is easily identified by his distinct look - a flannel shirt, straw hat and sinister face paint. In addition to this, Boondox also sports the Hatchetman pendant typical of all artists on the Psychopathic Records label.
According to his official biography, Boondox "tears it up over everything from Southern sounding banjo and harmonica loops to (Mike E.) Clark's patented sick-ass drum beats and fat bass drops." Boondox's debut album, "The Harvest", was released on July 11, 2006 through Psychopathic Records and features the Axe Murder Boyz, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, the Insane Clown Posse and Twiztid as guests.
With hypeman Jake Polzin aka Cousin Cleetus by his side and a live drummer behind him, Boondox made his concert debut at the 2006 Gathering of the Juggalos, which consisted of 4 songs, "Out Here", "Diggin' Myself Out", "Seven", and "They Pray With Snakes".
He is currently accompanying Blaze Ya Dead Homie and the Axe Murder Boyz on "The Tombstone Terror Tour" which is Boondox's first ever tour on Psychopathic Records.
Torn Possession
Boondox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can hear (? ) but I can't find a way
I can feel myself falling but I can't find my
Angels in my ear tellin me don't 'let go'
Demons in my ear tellin me to let go
When I'm fightin for my sould and the both want control
I'm surrounded by the dark become a stranger to the light
But as I sit here crippled nervous in a state of shock
Times become my enemy I'm staring at a broken clock
And every hour on the hour some thing strange is taking place
Apparitions on the wall voices and my soul is raped
I can't explain it am I burnin' in that fire pit?
Has the devil come to claim what's his for all the times I needed shit?
I tried sleeping but still I could feel it creepin
Call off the deakon bloods leakin right from the ceiling
I hear the rain fallin tappin on my window sill
Shadows crawling babies crying make it all seem so surreal
And what's that tickin in my head
I know for sure that I ain't dead
If that's the case then why the fuck am I still sittin in my bed
I'm tryna scream but no sounds so I'm reachin for the fone
I need to call some one right now to tell me what's goin on
(Chorus)
Seven days and nights go by and I ain't seen the fuckin sun
Layin here surrounded by a preist som crosses and a nun
Speakin in a foreign language but I seem to understand
Crucifix is burnin flesh right when they placed it in my hand
Holy water feels like torture fallin on my head
Demons whisper in my ear don't worry son your almost dead
Moms cryin daddies packin pictures flyin on the wall
I can hear my grandma talk in tounges some where down the hall
(backwards talk)
Next thing I noticed I'm wakin up I'm in an empty room
Some what unfamiliar was I sleepin in an empty tomb
And then a light from up above
I heard a voice filled with love
A lady dressed all in while I didn't who she was
And I can't explain the calm
After the shock pain in my arm
All I kno is I feel warm ad I don't care what's goin on
(Chorus )
(x2:)
Demons demons demons (backwards talk)
The lyrics in Boondox's song "Torn Possession" depict a struggle with inner demons, where the singer is caught in between the opposing forces of angels telling him to hold on and demons urging him to let go. The singer is crippled with fear and anxiety as he is surrounded by the darkness and becomes a stranger to the light. He puts all his hopes into the belief that everything will be alright, but nevertheless, he seems to be falling helplessly, unable to find his way out. He hears strange noises and experiences hallucinations, with voices and apparitions on the wall, which make him question whether he is burning in a fire pit or if the devil has come to claim what's his.
As the lyrics progress, there is a shift from the dark and unsettling feeling towards a light of hope. After being surrounded by a priest, some crosses, and a nun, the singer feels holy water falling on his head and hears whispers from the demons, telling him that he's almost dead. Despite the chaos and strange occurrences happening around him, he finds himself calmed by the shock and pain in his arm. In the end, a voice filled with love and a lady dressed all in white bring a sense of calm, and the singer feels warm and does not care what is going on.
