Child Of Time
Lefay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'M ETERNAL, I AM TIME
I'LL ARISE AS THE KING OF THE BLOODRED SKIES
A SHAPELESS DEMON
THE CHILD OF BEING
I'M A PART OF THE CHAOS
I'VE COME TO UNDO THE DONE
TO WIPE OUT ALL THE LIVING
REBUILD
REBORN
YOU'RE PAIN
GODS FEAR
YOU'RE THE SIN THAT'S EVERYWHERE
DIE WITH ME
BE REBORN PURE AND FREE
YOU SHALL BE MY NEW ALLIANCE
IN NEW DIMENSIONS
NEW HORIZONS
REDO
REBUILD
REBORN
I TAKE POSSESSION OF YOUR SOULS
YOU SHALL LEAD ME TO MY GOAL
I'LL GIVE YOU WINGS AND THEN
FALLEN ANGELS FLY AGAIN
I'M FREE TO FILL THE VOID
I'M THE LAST IN LINE
THE CHILD OF TIME
RIDE THE SKY
DEMONIZED WITH BLACKENED EYES
FAR AWAY
I'LL REBUILD MY PARADISE
NON SHALL FEAR US NOR DENY US
NEW RELIGIONS NEW MESSIAHS
REDO....
I TAKE POSSESSION....
The lyrics in Lefay's song "Child of Time" is powerfully dark and self-exalting. The singer is a shapeless demon, child of being, who claims to be divine and eternal time. They claim to arise as a king of the bloodred skies to undo what has been done, wipe out all living things, and rebuild anew. The singer seeks to unite with the listener, promising freedom and purity if they die and are reborn with the demon. They plan to take possession of souls, giving their followers wings to achieve their goals. The singer is last in line, a reference to the end of all things, the finality of death, inevitable destruction.
The song appears to portray chaos and destruction, rebirth and alliance. The singer is both a destroyer and a creator, a king and a slave. The idea of being reborn is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing its importance. The lyrics can be interpreted as a call for people to abandon their beings, relinquish themselves to the demon, and be born anew, alluding to the idea of a cult leader seducing followers with irresistible promises. Ultimately, the song depicts a powerful, self-serving leader who seeks to destroy the world and rebuild it in their image.
