Onyx
The Acid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lay your head down
Bound
Fire decide
Heart of the sun
Caught
Lost to your thought
Onyx we won
Bound by your side
Bound by your side
Bound by your side
Bound by your side
Bound by your side
The lyrics to "Onyx" by The Acid are open to interpretation, but they seem to evoke a sense of surrendering oneself to the night and being consumed by its allure. The chorus urges the listener to lay their head down and embrace the darkness, alluding to a desire for intimacy and connection. The word "onyx" is used as a metaphorical representation of this captivating and irresistible force. "Bound" is repeated several times, emphasizing the idea of being tied to someone or something, perhaps indicating a deep emotional attachment or a surrender to a higher power. The repetition of "Bound by your side" amplifies this notion of being completely devoted to someone or something.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a person willingly giving themselves over to the enchantment of the night, allowing their thoughts and desires to be consumed, ultimately leading to a sense of victory ("Onyx we won"). The song captures the magnetism of the dark and the all-encompassing power it holds over our emotions.
