The Boon He Gives
Lefay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
- BLOOD FROM ALL MY TWISTED SOULS
MAKES ME WONDER WHO I AM
AM I DEAD OR AM I DAMNED
A BROKEN MIRROR ON THE FLOOR
REFLECTS MY FACE AND THOUSAND MORE
DEMONLIKE WITH EVIL EYES
STARING FROM THE GLASS OF LIES
INSIDE THIS CRYSTAL BALL
LET ME OUT- SET ME FREE
SEPARATE MY SOULS
GOD OF LIES DECEIVED ME
THE BOON HE GAVE WAS EVIL
THIS IS A FALSE EMPIRE
THE BOON HE GIVES
I REMEMBER LIFES BEFORE
GREAT ADVENTURES, LOVE AND WAR
BUT I WAS FRAMED BY THE KING OF LIES
HE TOOK MY SOUL - HE TOOK MY LIFE
I SAW THE LIGHT THAT BURNED MY EYES
WHAT I BELIVED IN MADE ME BLIND
AND THE BOON HE GAVE
GOD OF LIES DECEIVED ME
THE BOON HE GAVE WAS EVIL
THIS IS A FALSE EMPIRE
THE BOON HE GIVES
IT'S BURNING IN HEAVEN
THE TRINITY LIES
THE BOON HE GIVES
HERE, NOW AND FOREVER
DIVINITY DIES
PRISONED HERE FOR EVERMORE
INSIDE THIS CRYSTAL BALL
LET ME OUT- SET ME FREE
SEPARATE MY SOULS
GOD OF LIES DECEIVED ME
THE BOON HE GAVE WAS EVIL
THIS IS A FALSE EMPIRE
THE BOON HE GIVES
The lyrics to Lefay's "The Boon He Gives" describe an individual trapped in an obscure place with blood-wet walls, questioning their identity and whether they are dead or damned. They see their reflection in a broken mirror, which reveals not only their own demonic appearance but the face of a thousand more. The singer is imprisoned inside a crystal ball and seeks to be set free from the god of lies who deceived them with an evil boon, which led to the creation of a false empire. They remember a past filled with great adventures, love, and war, but their life was taken by the king of lies who framed them and burned their eyes with a blinding light.
The lyrics are an allegory for the deceitfulness and destructive nature of power and control. The god of lies represents the ruling power, which uses deceitful tactics to keep individuals trapped in a false reality. The crystal ball symbolizes the power of manipulation, which distorts the truth to create a false perception of reality. The broken mirror reflects the distorted and fragmented identity, which is the result of living under the control of a deceitful ruler. The singer seeks liberation from the power of the god of lies and the false empire created by the evil boon.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of despair and the urgent need for freedom and liberation from the shackles of deceitful power. The singer's desire to separate their souls and break free from the illusion created by the god of lies is a call for individuals to awaken their own inner power and recognize the need to question and challenge the forces of control and manipulation.
