Persson, Heder and Soderling relocated to Stockholm, leaving Rytkönen and Eriksson to find new members. Contractual disputes with Black Mark ended with Rytkönen and Eriksson (along with new members from Fantasmagoria) having to change name to simply Lefay. Persson, Heder and Soderling recorded an album under the Morgana Lefay name, but only to get rid of contractual obligations. The album is not recognised by the current incarnation of the band.

In September of 2004 Lefay resigned with Black Mark and regained the rights to use their full name.

Tequila
Lefay Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The day after
The night before
Remember nothing
As I face the floor
A pounding headache
A smell of death
I guess it must be my own breath

Remember girls
And plenty of booze
And my tequila desire

Striptease
The metal police
Then I remember nothing more
Because I was
Passed out on tequila - blackout

Rise and shine, a stupid puke
Oh, shit I'm freezing and oh god
I'm nude
I've been arrested that's for sure
Else I wouldn't face
This goddamn floor

Remember girls
And plenty of booze
And my tequila desire

Striptease
The metal police
Then I remember nothing more

Because I was
Passed out on tequila - blackout

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lefay's song "Tequila" deal with the aftermath of a drunken binge. The singer wakes up the day after with a terrible hangover, unable to recall what happened the previous night except for a few scattered memories of girls and plenty of booze. He hints that he may have engaged in some risqué activities, as well as a "striptease" and his "tequila desire" got the better of him. The chorus repeats the phrase "passed out on tequila - blackout", highlighting the severity of his drunkenness.

The second verse reveals that the singer is not only hungover, but has also been arrested and is waking up in a jail cell. He realizes he is nude and freezing on the floor, indicating he may have been caught in a compromising situation. The metal police mentioned in the lyrics suggest he may have been at a heavy metal concert or event, adding to the wild and rowdy atmosphere of the song. The repetition of the chorus underscores the consequences of his excessive drinking.

Overall, the lyrics of "Tequila" warn of the dangers of alcohol consumption, particularly when taken to excess. The singer's experience serves as a cautionary tale of the consequences of binge drinking, including loss of memory, regrettable behavior, and legal trouble.
