Faith
U.K.L Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feelin young feeling pure feelin full of himself while that pope frank tries his evil spell
The alter boy moans in bliss
The old man can't take a hint
The alter boy moans in bliss
The old man can't take a hint
Alter boy
Pope frank tries his tricks of the trade while Damien prepares his holy blade
Oh Damien, what can you say
Oh Damien, what can you say
The alter boy moans in bliss
The old man can't take a hint
The alter boy moans in bliss
The old man can't take a hint
Alter boy
Oh alter boy
The lyrics of "Faith" by U.K.L. offer a dark and unsettling commentary on the corrupt and exploitative nature of organized religion. The first verse depicts a scene in which a religious leader (referred to as the "high priest") is confronted by a figure named Damien, who carries a "silver bell" that seems to trigger an adverse reaction in the priest's cheeks. Despite this, Damien feels confident and empowered, while the Pope attempts to use his authority to manipulate those around him. The second verse is more ambiguous, but introduces the idea that Damien may be preparing to lash out against the church, possibly with violent means.
The themes that emerge in "Faith" are multi-layered and complex, but one interpretation is that the lyrics are a critique of the abuse of power and authority that can occur within religious institutions. The alter boy's "moans in bliss" suggest that he is being groomed or taken advantage of by the older men around him, and the inability of the "old man" to "take a hint" implies a lack of accountability or culpability for these actions. The idea of Damien wielding a "holy blade" against the church could be seen as a metaphor for a larger societal shift towards rejecting the institutions that have enabled this type of abuse.
Overall, "Faith" offers a searing commentary on the dangers of blind faith and religious zealotry, and raises important questions about the role of organized religion in contemporary society.

Iโm in love with this!! On repeat at least 60 times now
These boys are certified! No way are they wolfs in sheepโs clothing,
but Satan plays pokers with Jehovah an cheats in any way!
In this case itโs the low frequency this music is being played at
Iโm still in love with the message an these lads are talented
Big respects

And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you
