Threshold
Sex Bo-bomb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And we're here to make you think about death
And get sad and stuff
This is the beginning of the song
I'm hearing voices, animal noises
The creme de la creme, effeminate abyss
Staring at the truth 'til I'm blind
My body's stupid, stereo putrid
Spilling out music into raw sewage
Reaching my threshold
Staring at the truth 'til I'm blind
My threshold
My threshold
Reaching my threshold
My body's stupid, stereo putrid
Spilling out music into raw sewage
Reaching my threshold
Staring at the truth 'til I'm blind
My threshold
I'll explode
Reaching my threshold (my threshold)
My threshold (my threshold)
My threshold (reaching my threshold)
My threshold (my threshold)
The opening lines of "Threshold" by Sex Bo-bomb may seem morbid to some, but it's a reflection on the human experience of grappling with mortality. The lyrics set up the tone for the song as it establishes the band's intention to make the listener face hard truths and emotions that are often ignored in day-to-day life. The repetition of the phrase "reaching my threshold" acts as a metaphor for reaching the limit of one's personal tolerance, in this case, for the painful reality of life.
The second verse of the song features a vivid description of the band's sound, comparing it to "animal noises" and "raw sewage." Through this, Sex Bo-bomb is effectively rejecting polished music production and embracing a raw and gritty style. The repetitive nature of the chorus reinforces the message that the band is at a breaking point, indicating that they can no longer tolerate the superficiality of life and aim to break through to something more profound. Overall, "Threshold" is a song that offers a perspective on the human experience that is honest, unapologetic, and emotional.
