Lich Prince
Foxing Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Glued up
I feel so
Insulated
I feel desperate
I could wake up
But I won't
I feel slowed down
I've been shortchanged with the lord for too long
I've been thinking of new ways
To fuck with old friends
I just want real love for you
I just want real love for you

I just want real love for you
I just want real love for you
I just want real love for you
I just want real love for you

I was drowned out
I was worthless
Than where I was
When you said I was rotten
Been thinking of new ways
To take old drugs
Been thinking of shortcuts
To dead ends

I just want real love for you
I just want real love for you
I just want real love for you
I just want real love for you

For you
For you
For you
I feel like a house plant
For you
I feel like a house plant
For you
I feel like a house plant
For you
I feel like a house plant





You
For you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Foxing's Lich Prince express a sense of being trapped, isolated and helpless. The opening lines "Glued up, I feel so insulated, I feel desperate" suggests a feeling of being stuck and disconnected from the world around them. The singer is in a state of lethargy, not wanting to wake up despite feeling slowed down. The line "I've been shortchanged with the lord for too long" implies a bitterness towards a higher power or ideals that have failed them.


The second verse finds the singer feeling worthless, drowned out and rotten, with thoughts of taking old drugs and shortcuts leading to dead ends. They express a desire for "real love", someone who will accept them for who they are without judgement or conditions. The repeated lines "For you, I feel like a house plant" emphasize a feeling of being constrained and powerless, like a plant that has been potted and cannot escape.


The song touches on themes of loneliness, regret and the search for genuine connection. The desire for love and acceptance is a recurring theme throughout the song, with the singer's frustration at feeling disconnected and trapped within themselves. The lyrics create a sense of claustrophobia and emotional suffocation, with the repeated refrains emphasizing a feeling of being stuck and powerless.
