Wicked
Boy Epic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can call me fantastic Mr. Black
Give me a damn cigarette
Swallowing my regrets
With jack Daniels, on my breath
I need that therapy, that melody
I'm drowning in my sympathy
Doctor can you un-break me
Because I fell in love
Yes I fell in love
But wasn't good enough
For us
She's got that devil touch
That apocalyptic lust
I swear I'm not a sinner
I'm just beautifully broken

Now there's a darkness deep in me
I keep falling asleep
To these wicked dreams
Can't fight the darkness deep in me
It's where she likes to keep
Haunting my wicked dreams

You can call me fantastic Mr. Black
So cool, now there's nothing left
but an empty soul
every thing is so bitter cold
I need a doctor please
No I can't sleep
She's the monster, but she's my queen
Broken halo on a comatose me

I fell in love
Yes I fell in love
But was never good enough
For us
She's got that devil touch
That apocalyptic lust
I swear I'm not a sinner
I'm just beautifully broken

Now there's a darkness deep in me
I keep falling asleep
To these wicked dreams
Can't fight the darkness deep in me
It's where she likes to keep
Haunting my wicked dreams

She sings
Unbury me
Unbury me
She sings
Unbury me
Unbury me

Now there's a darkness deep in me
I keep falling asleep
To these wicked dreams
Can't fight the darkness deep in me
It's where she likes to keep
Haunting my wicked dreams

I can't fight the darkness
Can't fight the darkness




Or my wicked dreams
My wicked dreams

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Boy Epic's song Wicked appear to be a tale of a man struggling to cope with the aftermath of a toxic relationship. The singer, who refers to himself as "fantastic Mr. Black," seems to be turning to alcohol and cigarettes to help him deal with his pain and regrets. He expresses his love for an unnamed woman, who he believes possesses a "devil touch" and "apocalyptic lust." However, despite his love, he was never "good enough" for her, and their love appears to have ended. The man is left haunted by his memories of the relationship and plagued by "wicked dreams" that he cannot escape.


The chorus repeats the lyrics "there's a darkness deep in me, I keep falling asleep to these wicked dreams, can't fight the darkness deep in me, it's where she likes to keep haunting my wicked dreams." This repetition reinforces the idea that the man is struggling to move on from the failed relationship and is beset by thoughts and dreams that won't let him go. He begs for someone to "unbreak" him and help him find a way to forget the past and escape the darkness.


Overall, the lyrics in Wicked paint a dark and anguished picture of a man struggling to move on from a toxic and damaging relationship. The imagery of darkness, bitterness, and wickedness reinforces the sense of despair and hopelessness that permeates the song.

"Baby... it's so much pain".

I'm not a lip reader, but I think his last non-vocal sentence uttered these profound words. He adds originality and more importantly, an unbelievable visual interpretation to an already unbelievable song... Well done BE.

Normally I can never find a song that symbolizes all that is, was and will no longer be in a relationship until now. Not only are the words important but words are just that, words, anybody can sing them. For me, this video absolutely translates those words into feelings. THERE is where you see talent in an artist.

Today is August 30th, 2016 and my girl is moving out. The reasons surrounding it were vague at first. She decided on a 8 hour trip back from a parent's visit that she no longer wanted to be with me. I could not give her what she wanted; children, living close with her family (I'd need to leave my 3 kids), the constant need to subdue her anxiety demons as well as several other inflictions meds tried to mask. My darkness.. being bi-polar and making every effort to control it..

Sometimes there are things we can not change, it's who we are. She is my best friend. There is no hate, no animosity... only a different kind of love now. As I help her move out, encouraging and thinking somehow that this is best for her, I can only think about this song and how will carry a meaning for me for a very long time.

Goodbye baby...



@SuperSceneSarah

This song hits me. Deeply.

"Now there's a darkness deep in me..."

I have been diagnosed with Depression, ADHD, Traits of Bi-Polar, Anxiety, and a Eating Disorder. All are NOS.

I love you Boy Epic. Your songs are not just words that have no meaning. They are the truth. They hit me in what is left of my "soul". I thank you for making songs that are real and to the point. Don't stop. No matter what. Cause if you do, it's going to be hard to keep going.

xx

@hugot697

I love Boy Epic, been a fan since 8 years ago and listening to all his music now takes me back to 2016/2017. What a time machine

@WOLFGANG634

It's safe to say I'm in love with this man... I can't believe he lost weight to show the toll depression can take on someone... This guy is definitely someone who is very devoted.

@cd6976165

First of all, wow! That's was beautiful. You sing so well. Second of all, I enjoyed watching but couldn't help shedding a tear or two. Towards the ending I just almost caved in and felt my heart crumble, and my body was literally shaking... This was so simple yet so powerful, so well-thought and beautiful!!!!

@dylanhaze952

2022...this was 8 years ago...WHY AM I RANDOMLY SINGING THIS IN SHOWER!!??!
