Hym
Isis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dissolve me
His own light, now it's gone
The thirst came on
And it come on in waves
He would dream of cells swollen with water
Blank memory washed away, swallowed whole through eyes and teeth
The lyrics of "Hym" by Isis depict a sense of dissolution or a desire to be dissolved. The opening line, "Love flows fears no window minds time oceanic" suggests a sense of interconnectedness or fluidity between beings, while the subsequent line, "Dissolve me," speaks to a dissolution of self. This theme of dissolution is further emphasized in the lines "His own light, now it's gone" and "Blank memory washed away, swallowed whole through eyes and teeth." These lines suggest a loss of identity or even a loss of consciousness.
The next set of lines, "The thirst came on, And it come on in waves, He would dream of cells swollen with water," suggest a sense of thirst or yearning, which is again tied to the idea of dissolution. The dream of "cells swollen with water" could represent a desire to be absorbed, or to dissolve into a larger whole. Overall, the lyrics of "Hym" seem to be grappling with the human desire to transcend the self and merge with something greater.

And it come on in waves
This desire or craving is not constant, but comes in waves that ebb and flow with varying intensity.
He would dream of cells swollen with water
The person is so consumed by their desire that it permeates their thoughts and dreams, creating vivid images of cells swelling with water as a metaphor for their own intense yearnings.
Blank memory washed away, swallowed whole through eyes and teeth

I have listened to this album/song more times than i can keep track to count. Music is a powerful tool when you want to end your life. After I had experienced going through a terrible car crash that I was life-flighted for, during the time of the recovery and rehab a woman I've invested time and energy into looks for other alternatives in men. I was being prescribed painkillers, I was mixing it with LSD and cannabis to try to feel numb to it cause I couldn't accept that she would no longer be interested in the time we spent together in my vulnerable state. Through my misanthropic state of being I eventually got psychiatric help while my physical rehabilitation was interferred and extended from the drug use. This album I have to thank is the only thing that pulled me through the sadness and pain.

С 5:50 по 7:00 один из самых лучших их моментов. Сколько не переслушиваю, до сих пор нравится. Замечательнейше вообще. Это что то за пределами.
