Honour
Zifir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cut them for me
Let them be rivers flowing through flames
Cut them for me
Your sins, an award for me
Your sins, a release for you
Deny the Humanity
Deny it
You're afraid of the Dark?
Let the light be your nightmare
It is the hell which enlightens you
Holy light is a mere shadow
While shadows are pure lies
You're tied to it by the lies
Cut it so that it can flow
It can flow and the sins can grow
God is my enemy
And so are the men of you
Deny it
Deny it
Deny the Humanity
The lyrics of Zifir's song Honour are cryptic and dark, reflecting a sense of hopelessness and rebellion. The opening line, "Let my life be inigated by your veins, cut them for me," is a metaphor that suggests a desire to be consumed by another person's energy, possibly to escape from one's own problems. The repetition of "cut them for me" emphasizes the urgency and desperation of this desire. Furthermore, the idea of rivers flowing through flames represents an intense and destructive passion that can't be quenched.
The following lines "Your sins, an award for me, your sins, a release for you" suggest that the person singing might be seeking some form of redemption or absolution through the sins of another. The final section of the song, "God is my enemy, and so are the men of you, deny it, deny it, deny the Humanity" indicates a rejection of societal norms and a willingness to reject all forms of organized religion. The desire to deny humanity seems to be born out of disillusionment and a sense of betrayal, possibly by the society or individuals whom the singer trusted.

Cut them for me
Give me access to your veins so that I may take from you what I need
Let them be rivers flowing through flames
Let your blood flow through me like a river of fire
Your sins, an award for me
Your wrongdoing becomes a reward that I cherish and hold onto
Your sins, a release for you
Your transgressions are a means of letting go and finding peace
Cut them and the sins flow in cascades through your veins
Removing your veins unleashes a flood of sin which courses through your body
Deny the Humanity
Reject the notion of being a mere mortal, and embrace your dark nature
You're afraid of the Dark?
Are you frightened of embracing your true self?
Let the light be your nightmare
May the notion of living in the light terrify you
It is the hell which enlightens you
The darkness and pain of hell is what brings true understanding
Holy light is a mere shadow
The light of religion and righteousness is nothing but a pale imitation
While shadows are pure lies
The only truth lies in the darkness
You're tied to it by the lies
You are bound to the falsehoods of the light and its illusions
Cut it so that it can flow
Remove the false light and allow the darkness to consume you
It can flow and the sins can grow
By embracing darkness, sin only becomes stronger
God is my enemy
I see God as an opposing force to what I believe
And so are the men of you
Those who follow the light are also my enemies

Reject the notion of following the light and embrace darkness
Deny the Humanity
Deny your mortal existence and embrace your inner darkness
