Noir
Voxis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"So much regret"

I am your fear
Your secret lie
I taste your tears
Bound and coiled inside
Cigarettes and lonely eyes
Fade away into a smooth regression
Running out of alibis
Paranoia feeds your cold obsession

"Only the pain will set you free"

I'm bleeding for this anger
Way of suffering
Take me into hiding
Hold my place
I'm fading here
And while I ache
In this place
Head is light
Getting closer




Dread every step I take
I can't breathe

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Voxis's "Noir" depict a sense of fear, pain, and regret. The opening line "I am your fear, your secret lie" suggests that the singer is someone who is closely connected to the listener and understands their fears and secrets, even though they may not want to share them. The line "I taste your tears" likely refers to the singer's ability to sense the listener's emotional pain, perhaps indicating a close or intimate relationship.


The next lines, "Bound and coiled inside, cigarettes and lonely eyes," add a powerful sense of isolation and disconnection. The listener is trapped within themselves, consumed by their addiction to cigarettes and left feeling lonely and helpless. The use of the phrase "smooth regression" suggests that the listener is trying to escape reality and numb themselves to their pain, but they are running out of excuses and reasons to do so.


As the lyrics continue, the tone becomes more intense and emotional. The line "only the pain will set you free" is powerful and suggests that the singer believes that the only way for the listener to truly escape their pain is to confront it head-on. The sense of desperation in the lyrics "I'm bleeding for this anger, way of suffering" suggests that the listener is nearing a breaking point, and they need to find a way to overcome their pain before it destroys them completely.


Overall, the lyrics of "Noir" are deep and emotional, exploring themes of fear, pain, and regret. The singer encourages the listener to confront their pain head-on, rather than trying to escape it through cigarettes and isolation. The song is a powerful reminder that only by confronting our pain can we truly heal and find a way to move forward.

. . . Your Secret Lie/Noir:
"Thanks very much for the feedback, much appreciated (and very helpful). Glad you like NOIR and Coiled so much. I remember that out of all the songs on the album, I spent the most time on NOIR (a lot of personal connection [and why I wrote it in the first place] caused it to be much too painful to work on at points). As for the lyrics:

('. . . So much regret') I am your fear, your secret lie, I taste your tears, bound and coiled inside you. Cigarettes and lonely eyes fades away into a smooth regression. Running out of alibis. Paranoia feeds you cold obsession. ('Only the pain will set you free'). Now I'm bleeding for this anger, way I'm suffering. Take me into hiding, hold my place, I'm fading here. And while I ache in this place, my head is light, getting closer, dreading every step I take. I can't breathe. ('. . . So much regret').

As for other tracks: aside from writing my own material, the idea has been tossed around by Rob from Torn Skin of us doing a project (he has his live band, Syntax Error, but this would be studio oriented). One song just needs a little more recording. . . . You may wind up with a little taste of that. Thanks again for your message."
