Sound Avtar Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Deck the hall with boughs of holly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
It's the season to be jolly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Don we now our gay apparel
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
Sing the ancient Yule-tide carol
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

(Yeah)

See the blazing Yule before us
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Strike the harp and join the Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Follow me in merry measure
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
While I tell of Yule-tide treasure
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

(La la la la) Deck the halls with boughs of holly
(La la la la) Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
It's the season to be jolly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Don we now our gay apparel
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
Sing the ancient Yule-tide carol
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

(Yeah) Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Cursed" by Sound Avtar are actually a sample of the traditional Christmas carol "Deck the Halls." The song is an upbeat, festive tune that encourages listeners to decorate their homes with boughs of holly and don their gayest apparel for the holiday season. The chorus of "Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la" serves as a joyful, repetitive refrain that adds to the celebratory nature of the song.

Despite the fact that "Cursed" is a dubstep track with heavy bass and electronic elements, the inclusion of the "Deck the Halls" sample brings an unexpected element of traditional holiday cheer to the song. Perhaps the juxtaposition of these two seemingly disparate elements is meant to convey a message about the universality of the holiday spirit, which transcends cultural and musical boundaries.

In conclusion, while "Cursed" by Sound Avtar is not a traditional holiday song, the inclusion of the "Deck the Halls" sample adds a festive element to the track and expands the reach of the holiday spirit to even the most non-traditional musical genres.
