(Hummm) You're like an imprint
(Hummm) You've got fire up and down your cheeks
(Hummm) You burn everything you see (hummm)
(Hummm) Leaving traces everywhere you go
(Hummm) Diamonds in your skin, my blood flows (hummm)
Bring the lion out
Bring the, bring the lion out
Bring the lion out
Bring the, bring the lion out
(Uh-huh) Bring the lion out
(Uh-huh) Bring the, bring the lion out
(Uh-huh) Bring the lion out
(Uh-huh) Bring the, bring the lion out
(Uh-huh) Bring the lion out
(Uh-huh) Bring the, bring the lion out

(Uh-uh-uh) Bring the lion out
(Uh-uh-uh) Bring the, bring the lion out
Down of the water
Beads drippin' down your face
Calling out, calling out my name
You were December
Eyes cold, freeze my blood
Somehow, somehow not enough
Huh-huh
Huh-huh

The song "Lion" by Saint Mesa is a curious and intriguing piece that employs evocative, poetic lyrics to discuss the unique qualities and characteristics of a particular individual. The first verse sets the tone by describing this person as being like an "imprint," with a presence that is both burning and golden. The imagery continues, with the suggestion that this person is like a lion - fierce and unyielding, with a powerful impact on those around them. The chorus implores the listener to "bring the lion out," with repeating lines that echo the intensity and determination of this person's spirit.
The second verse deepens the complexity of this character, suggesting a colder, more distant side to them. They are described as having "eyes cold, freeze my blood," a line that feels almost haunting in its mood. Despite this, the singer still seems drawn to this complicated figure, calling out their name and asking for their presence to be felt more strongly. The final chorus repeats the refrain of "bring the lion out," but there is a sense of resignation to it now, as though this person will always remain somewhat distant and unattainable.
In all, "Lion" is a beautiful and haunting meditation on the complexities of human connection, and the ways in which some people can have an almost mystical impact on our lives. The song's lyrics use vivid, poetic language to suggest rather than outrightly state the nature of this character, allowing the listener to form their own interpretation and connection to the music.

0:44 HEAR ME OUT ACOTAR STANS
“First Cassian and Azriel appeared in the doorway. The High Lord’s general and shadowsinger—and the most powerful Illyrians in history. Their shoulders impossibly broader, their faces a portrait of unfeeling brutality.
More Siphons, I realized, glimmered in addition to the ones atop each of their hands. A Siphon in the center of their chest. One on either shoulder. One on either knee. Cassian and Azriel had seven each. Seven.
And then Rhysand appeared.
He had released the damper on his power, on who he was. His power filled the throne room, the castle, the mountain. The world. It had no end and no beginning.
No wings. No weapons. No sign of the warrior. Nothing but the elegant, cruel High Lord the world believed him to be. His hands were in his pockets, his black tunic seeming to gobble up the light. And on his head sat a crown of stars.
Here—here was the most powerful High Lord ever born.
The face of dreams and nightmares.”

You're like an Empress
You've got fire running down your cheeks
You burn everything you see
Gold are your fingers
Leaving traces everywhere you go
Diamonds in your skin, my blood flows
[Chorus]
Bring the lion out
Bring the, bring the lion out
Sound of the water
Beads dripping down your face
Calling out, calling out my name
You were december
Eyes cold, freezing my blood
Somehow, somehow not enough
Huh-huh
[Chorus]
Bring the lion out
Bring the, bring the lion out
