Boom
Sioen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's maybe 'cause when you wake up
You ought to get enough
You talk big and you lie
And how you took her from behind
Just to set you off
'Come on now lady, cry'

It's maybe 'cause when you go out
The sport is 'seduce' again
You make a bet but in vain
And how you show off your chest
You work out but instead
You need a gym for your brains

No one needs your kind
You phoney superman
You're just a muscular ken
You're hunting down an innocent plastic girl
To play with in your dull legoland

Going up and boom!
Lightin'up the room
Saying you are cool
Acting like a fool

It?s maybe 'cause when you wake up
You ought to get enough
You talk big and you lie
And how you took her from behind
Just to set you off
'Come on now lady, cry'

No one needs your kind
You phoney superman
You're just a fisher-price fack
Living in a pokemon-vibe
Collecting nudy cards
Come on now macho die!

Going up and boom!
Lightin'up the room
Saying you are cool
And acting like a fool

Going up and boom!
You're lightin'up
You're breaking up
You're breaking every rule
Going up and boom!
You're lightin'up the room




You're saying you are cool
But acting like a fool

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sioen's song "Boom!" are a critique of toxic masculinity and the objectification of women. The singer in the song is calling out a man who boasts about his sexual conquests and uses his physical strength to assert dominance over women. The chorus repeats the phrase "going up and boom," which could be interpreted as a metaphor for the sudden explosion of the man's ego and bravado, or perhaps a reference to the fleeting nature of his sexual encounters.


The verses describe the man's behavior in more detail. He talks about how he "seduces" women, but ultimately fails in his attempts to impress them. He is portrayed as shallow and lacking in intelligence, needing a gym for his brain instead of just his muscles. The singer also mocks the man for collecting "nudy cards" and living in a "pokemon-vibe," suggesting that his immature hobbies reflect his overall immaturity.


Overall, the song is a scathing rebuke of toxic masculinity and the ways in which it harms both men and women. The man being criticized is portrayed as a sad and pathetic figure, unable to form genuine connections with anyone and relying on superficial displays of strength and sexuality to feel powerful.
