1)Alchemist is a progressive death metal band from Canberra, Australia.

Since 2003, Alchemist has also featured a fifth member in Nick Wall, who provides samples for live shows.

The band announced in June 2005 that they were releasing a compilation album entitled Embryonics; this was released in late October.

Rhythm is a big feature in every track, being erratic, broken and with the use of unconventional drum-programming and sound quality. That creates very special auras all the way throughout the piece.

Garden of Eroticism
Alchemist Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Through the abundant life.
Your ability release my infidelity.
Swollen ovaries of temptation.
Shall I dare submerge my self with this obsession?
Trapped by lust, nudity an obscenity.
Shading its darkness with light.
Fooled I am drawn toward the gates of jade.
Garden gates forever trap me.

Forever to tend her fields.
Rewarded with the fruits of life.
Take another bite. Fate seizes me.
I am punished by my loyalty to her desire.

Garden of eroticism. hemaphrodelia.
Punished by my loyalty to her Salacrophobia - tetostrodelia

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song 'Garden of Eroticism' by Alchemist explores the themes of lust, temptation, and obsession. The lyrics talk about how the singer is drawn towards the gates of jade, which is a metaphor for the enticing nature of temptation. The singer feels trapped by their own lust and is unable to resist the temptation of the garden, which is a representation of the allurement of sexual desire. The use of the phrase "swollen ovaries of temptation" is a stark reminder of the seductive nature of lust and its ability to overpower one's better judgment.

The lyrics delve deep into the theme of loyalty to desire, as the singer realizes the consequences of his actions as he succumbs to the temptations of the garden. The consequences of such actions are highlighted through the line "I am punished by my loyalty to her desire," where the singer experiences the aftermath of his choices. The use of words such as "obscenity" and "salacrophobia" adds to the profound sense of sinfulness and guilt that surrounds the extensive themes of temptation and desire in the song.
