Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Leprous's song Foe tell a story of conflict and uncertainty. The opening line of "Reduced into tears" sets a somber tone, with the cold winter gust serving as a metaphor for the emotional chill in the air. The next line, "My disease," suggests a personal struggle that has contributed to this sense of despair. Despite this, the singer acknowledges that it is their enemy's time to shine, indicating a sense of resignation or defeat.


As the song progresses, the themes of trust and betrayal become more prominent. The singer speaks of upholding trust, but also warns of a "Broken foe" in their sight. The use of the word "structural" adds a sense of weight or permanence to the conflict, while "sentimental" suggests that emotions are also at play. Despite the difficulty of the situation, however, the singer asserts that clarity can be found: "Clear and bright."
