BOY
LLIRUM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see your eyes watching me
Just like lasers in the dark
Speed of light
Piercing me
Cutting through my flesh
And I try to hide all my fears
Cause I'm ready to move on
So I breath
Get a grip
Cause the clock is ticking

Night of the hunter is falling outside
There's so much to see
And there's so much to try
I won't go under
I won't let you drag me under

I won't wait for you
Cause you can't decide what you're up to
I can't change my life in a blink of an eye

Boy, boy, boy, oh boy

Howl to the moon like the wind
Going like a predator
Time to fight
Or to flee
Cause the claw will dig in

Reaching the dawn
Searching for a new light
Breaking the spells from the demons inside
I won't go under
I won't let you drag me under

Nada que o piscar dos seus olhos pode mudar

I won't wait for you
Cause you can't decide what you're up to
I can't change my life in a blink of an eye
I won't wait for you
You keep on denying your own truth
I can't change my life in a blink of an eye

Boy, boy, boy, boy
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh

I won't wait for you
No, I won't wat for you
I can't change my life in a blink of an eye

No, I won't wait for you
You keep on denying your own truth
I can't change my life in a blink of an eye

Boy, boy, boy, boy
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh

Run away from you




Run away from you
Nada que o piscar dos seus olhos pode mudar

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to LLIRUM's song "Boy" depict a person who is being watched intensely by someone else, causing them to feel vulnerable and exposed, like their every move is being monitored. The "lasers in the dark" that are piercing the singer imply a sense of danger or threat. Despite feeling scared, the singer is determined to "move on" and refuses to let the other person drag them down. They recognize that time is running out, and the "clock is ticking," so they need to take action.


The second verse suggests a sense of adventure and freedom, with the "night of the hunter" falling outside, and a desire to explore and try new things. The singer continues to emphasize their resilience and determination, refusing to let the other person control their life. The repeated line of "I won't go under, I won't let you drag me under" serves as a powerful statement of the singer's commitment to independence and self-determination.


The chorus repeats the refrain of "boy, boy, boy," which may refer to the person watching the singer or be used more abstractly to symbolize a feeling of being trapped or constrained. The repeated line "I won't wait for you" is a further indictment of the other person's indecision and refusal to take action. The Portuguese line "Nada que o piscar dos seus olhos pode mudar" roughly translates to "Nothing your blinking eyes can change," emphasizing the singer's clarity and confidence in their choices.


Line by Line Meaning

I see your eyes watching me
The intense look you give me tells me everything I need to know


Just like lasers in the dark
The way you watch me is so sharp and precise, like lasers lighting up everything in darkness


Speed of light
Your gaze cuts through me like lightning - fast and shocking


Piercing me
Your eyes bore into me, making me feel completely exposed and vulnerable


Cutting through my flesh
Your intense stare feels like it's slicing through me, leaving me completely defenseless


And I try to hide all my fears
I try to conceal my anxiety from you, but deep down I'm terrified


Cause I'm ready to move on
I'm at the point where I'm prepared to let go of my worries and fears


So I breathe, get a grip
To calm myself, I take some deep breaths and steady myself


Cause the clock is ticking
The time to act is now, as time is running out


Night of the hunter is falling outside
The darkness of the night is looming, trapping me like prey in the hunter's sights


There's so much to see, and there's so much to try
I'm excited to see what's out there and to live life to the fullest


I won't go under, I won't let you drag me under
No matter what happens, I refuse to be defeated or let you bring me down


I won't wait for you, 'cause you can't decide what you're up to
I won't hang around for you to make up your mind, or to leave me hanging in the balance


I can't change my life in a blink of an eye
I can't just magically transform my life in an instant, I need time and patience


Howl to the moon like the wind
I scream out to the world, letting my emotions soar and my voice carry far and wide


Going like a predator
I'm ready to pursue my dreams like a predator stalking its prey


Time to fight, or to flee
Now is the moment to take action, and to choose whether to stand my ground or to retreat


Cause the claw will dig in
I'm facing real danger and risks, and I need to be careful not to get hurt


Reaching the dawn, searching for a new light
There's hope on the horizon, and I'm reaching out for a new beginning and a brighter future


Breaking the spells from the demons inside
I'm fighting my inner demons - my doubts, my fears, my insecurities - and seeking to break free of them


Nada que o piscar dos seus olhos pode mudar
Nothing in this world can change my mind or my path, not even your piercing gaze


Boy, boy, boy, oh boy
You may be a boy, but I'm a woman taking control of my life


No, I won't wait for you
I won't hang around any longer for someone who can't make up their mind


You keep on denying your own truth
You're lying to yourself, and that's not something I can change for you


Run away from you
I'm finally breaking free from your grasp and taking control of my own destiny


Nada que o piscar dos seus olhos pode mudar
Your piercing gaze no longer has the power to sway my decisions - I'm my own person now
