Sphynx

La Femme's song 'Sphynx' is a mesmerizing journey through themes of transcendence, unity, and timelessness. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of dancing under the influence of acid, feeling as light as a feather carried by the wind. This imagery suggests a sense of liberation and detachment from the physical world, allowing the narrator to dominate mountains and head towards Babylon, a symbol of ancient civilization and mystery. The reference to feeling like a Sphynx, an enigmatic and timeless creature, further emphasizes the theme of enduring through time and space.

The song continues with the narrator walking on plains, feeling the soft grass underfoot, and encountering women with whom they dance. This scene evokes a sense of connection and unity with others, transcending geographical origins as the narrator mentions coming from Bethlehem and the other from the north. The idea that they are brother and sister, one with the Universe, highlights a profound sense of universal kinship and interconnectedness, akin to stars burning in the heart.

The characters Blaise and Alkazar are introduced as brothers under the watchful eye of the Sphynx, dancing under the stars and savoring the essence of the soul. The Sphynx, a symbol of wisdom and mystery, is called upon to reveal itself and guide the narrator on a path that will take them far, lasting through time. The song concludes with a vision of enduring unity and timeless existence, encapsulating the essence of being a Sphynx. La Femme's 'Sphynx' is a poetic exploration of transcendence, unity, and the eternal nature of the human spirit, set against a backdrop of mystical and cosmic imagery.
