Aarni's superintelligent lyrics take form in the language believed most suitable for the song's subject: usually in English, Classical Latin or Finnish and occasionally in French, Ancient Egyptian, Hebrew, German, Enochian, Glossolalic, Ouranian-Barbaric et cetera.
Aarni has of course always existed, but the current incarnation's story began in the autumn of 1998 ev, when M.·.M.·. suddenly began solitarily developing his vague musical ideas further. He got telepathetic messages from the unicorn dolphin elder of Sirius B, who begged M.·.M.·. to reawaken the ancient Xothian aural technology tradition called aarni. Soon after choosing to comply with the demands of these psychotic transmissions, Comte de Saint-Germain appeared to him and immediately joined Aarni. When the two gentlemen conducted an unsuccessful necromantic ritual at Moominpappa's cenotaph, a third member's addition to the band took place: Doomintroll. Simultaneously the first letter of Mahatma M's surname semi-accidentally flipped over completing his mutation into Master Warjomaa.
The fourth band member does not really act as a "proper" musician, but seems nonetheless to partake in Aarni's creative processes. For Mistress Palm seems in fact composed entirely of artificial, phlogiston-driven rectoplasm and due to her apparently incorporeal nature can only exist on a computer's hard disk.
Now work nears completion on Aarni's third studio album aka 'Lovecraftian'.

Aarni Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my nekromanteion I summoned a son of smokeless fire.
*
The rebis transmutates into azoth, the pull of Ahriman is overcome
Visita interiora terrae rectificandoque invenies occultum lapidem.

In the psychotronic model of reality telluric power is valid.
Harness it, treasure it, in a hypnagogic state of mind. Trapped in the space-time continuum,
Nympholeptic for the numinous.
The lyrics to Aarni's song V.I.T.R.I.O.L. contain esoteric and occult references, which can be interpreted in different ways. The first two lines, "Sator Arepo Tenet Opera Rotas, the inner becomes the outer/ In my nekromanteion, I summoned a son of smokeless fire," make reference to two different concepts. The first line is a palindrome that has been used in magical and mystical circles for centuries. It can be interpreted as a formula for transformation and change, in which the inner becomes the outer and vice versa. The second line refers to the idea of summoning spirits or entities from the afterlife, in this case, a son of smokeless fire. This could be seen as a metaphorical journey into the underworld or a literal invocation of some supernatural being.
The second paragraph, "The rebis transmutates into azoth, the pull of Ahriman is overcome/ Visita interiora terrae rectificandoque invenies occultum lapidem," contains more alchemical references. The first line refers to the transformation of the "rebis" or the dualistic nature of things into the "azoth," the universal solvent or source of the philosopher's stone. This represents a higher state of consciousness or spiritual attainment. The second line comes from a Latin phrase that means "Visit the interior of the earth and rectifying you will find the hidden stone." This refers to the idea that the philosopher's stone can be found within oneself through introspection and self-discovery.
The third paragraph, "In the psychotronic model of reality telluric power is valid/ Harness it, treasure it, in a hypnagogic state of mind/ Trapped in the space-time continuum, Nympholeptic for the numinous," continues with the mystical and occult themes. The first line refers to the idea that reality is shaped by consciousness and that telluric power, or the Earth's electromagnetic energy, can be harnessed for spiritual purposes. The second line suggests that this can be done through a hypnagogic state of mind, which is a transitional state between wakefulness and sleep. The final line is a play on words, combining "nympholeptic," which means being overcome with desire for the divine, with "numinous," which means spiritual or mysterious.

Thank you...there shall probably be a remix of the tune. Just to fix all the shittiness. FYI: no emotions involved in this our song. Just a little "occulture" propaganda.
