Foeman's Bride
Lyriel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That fell on the floor
Near to your toes
In days before
Black like the night
In her ivory tower
In her darkest hour
All words are so trite
Connate to the core
Granded and blessed by his light
So he must be the one to show me
How to live and never die
Oh my dear, it's time to step aside
Be aware! You've become your foeman ́s bride
The higher you will go, the deeper you can fall
So close your eyes and let the darkness call
Black like wet stones
After a sudden rain
Your tears bemoan
The despair in vain
Black is the colour
Of my lover ́s eyes
Black that ain't cover
My time still runs dry
Captured in mind
Deprived of the marrow
Enslaved and constrained by his light
So now he is the one to show that
Lover ́s eyes are black and they can lie!
Oh my dear, it's time to step aside
Be aware! You've become your foeman's bride
The higher you will go, the deeper you can fall
So close your eyes and let the darkness call
Oh my dear, it's time to step aside
Be aware! You've become your foeman's bride
You've gone the highest way, you'll fall into disease
So close your eyes and let the darkness seize
The lyrics of Lyriel's song Foeman's Bride describe the dangers of losing oneself to another person, becoming consumed by their ideals and ultimately becoming a shadow of who you once were. The imagery of black throughout the song conveys a sense of darkness, despair, and the unknown. The rose that fell on the floor and the wet stones after a sudden rain represent loss, sorrow, and grief. The singer sings of being enslaved and constrained by the person they once idolized, who they believed was kindred in mind and grand and blessed by his light. But they have now realized that this person is their foeman, their enemy, and they have become their bride. The message of the song is clear - it is time to step aside, be aware, and to not let the darkness consume you.
