Friend Or Foe
Destroid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
cultured and wise
a rebel true of heart
illusions or design
a liar and a cheat
a hustler and a thief
a vengeance with deceit
words without wisdom
just flow from their lips
like water on the ground
it spreads to other ears
Distinguished and refined
cultured and wise
a rebel true of heart
illusions or twisted designs
I am not
who I thought my self to be
since no one seems to see me
for who I am
a liar and a cheat
a hustler and a thief
a vengeance with deceit
like cancer or disease
words without wisdom
just flow from their lips
like water on the ground
it spreads to other ears
The song "Friend or Foe" by Destroid is a complex piece that contains various elements that require interpretation. From the lyrics, the artist describes the duality of human beings. The way people present themselves to society may differ from the way they genuinely are. They may appear distinguished, cultured, wise, and brave, but their reality could be twisted, filled with deceit and bitterness, like cancer or disease. The artist talks about the spread of lies and rumors and how it affects people's perception of them. He expresses how he feels that he is misunderstood by many people, probably due to such factors.
In the second half of the song, the artist continues to describe the duality of human beings. He admits to being a liar and a cheat, which contradicts the image people have of him being refined and cultured. His version of being a rebel true to his heart may differ from what others expect from him. He talks about his frustration with people's perception of him, and how others spread lies about him, which distorts the truth, like water on the ground that just flows to other ears.
Overall, "Friend Or Foe" by Destroid is a thought-provoking piece that sheds light on the duality of human beings. It demonstrates how society's view of people is often clouded by false impressions or misunderstandings, which can lead to a distorted image of themselves. The song encourages self-reflection and an understanding of the significance of the words we say.
