Ritual
Alex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My body unchackles,
From a dream,
my reality,
My flesh but an illusion,
Perception dissolves,
As I transcend the beyond,
My vision perplexed,
Deep I go,
Infinite energy inundate my soul,
A magnificent design you are,
Beauty like no other,
Enrapture me in your light,
For I humble to your perfection,
Embrace me with your splendor,
For I am,
The wisdom of old,
Om Asato Maa Sad-Gamaya,
Tamaso Maa Jyotir-Gamaya,
Mrtyor-Maa Amrtam Gamaya,
Om Shanti Shanti Shanti
The lyrics to Alex's song "Ritual" suggest a transformation of the physical body and a journey into the metaphysical realm. The opening lines "Boundless ascension, my body unshackles, from a dream, my reality" seem to suggest that the singer is breaking free from their physical limitations and entering a state of higher consciousness. The line "my flesh but an illusion, perception dissolves" suggests that the singer is shedding their attachment to the material world and embracing a more spiritual existence.
The next lines "as I transcend the beyond, my vision perplexed, the frontier bids me welcome" further suggest that the singer is passing into a new realm, one that is difficult to comprehend but welcomes them nonetheless. The imagery of "infinite energy inundating my soul" and "beauty like no other" convey a sense of overwhelming awe and wonder.
The final lines of the song are a traditional Hindu prayer: "Om Asato Maa Sad-Gamaya, Tamaso Maa Jyotir-Gamaya, Mrtyor-Maa Amrtam Gamaya, Om Shanti Shanti Shanti". This prayer translates to "Lead us from untruth to truth, from darkness to light, from death to immortality, Om peace, peace, peace." The inclusion of this prayer reinforces the sense of spiritual transformation and enlightenment that the song conveys.
