The song "Lemarchand's Box" by Jedi Mind Tricks features lyrics from different artists, including J. Krishnamurti and Yes Alexander. The song's title refers to a mystical artifact from the "Hellraiser" horror franchise, which is a portal to another dimension. The lyrics discuss various themes, such as consciousness, separation, fear, and death. J. Krishnamurti, a spiritual thinker, emphasizes that our current state of being and consciousness shape our perception of the future. Yes Alexander's lines touch on the idea of being invaded or controlled by external forces, like dark thoughts or influences. Vinnie Paz's verse introduces darker imagery and references horror elements. He mentions books, blood, Jerusalem Street, and the Midnight Meat Train, which allude to themes of violence and darkness. The lyrics discuss the struggle of humanity, represented by the human remains, as well as the pain and rules of life. The reference to Lucifers (fallen angels), Hell, and serving it implies a battle with personal demons and facing internal darkness. Vinnie Paz expresses a willingness to stand against oppressive forces, even if it means facing death. The recurring line "Tear off your skin, Gon’ slowly tear off your skin" and the mention of saving or being saved represent a cathartic release or shedding of a false exterior, revealing the true self beneath. Overall, "Lemarchand's Box" explores themes of consciousness, personal struggle, and the battle against inner darkness, using metaphors and references from horror and spirituality to convey its message.
