Azagthoth
Alkaloid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

To the sweet bone-shattering music
Of physics unraveling
Black holes convolve
A messenger is traveling

It will start on the astral plane
Tongues of spiders whisper
Songs of outer frost
Tongues of madness twist the
Fabric of the brain
Tongues of turmoil rip the
Fabric of the world

Azagthoth
Exploding vacuum
Teeth of the maelstrom
Absolute and final
Eversion of the cosmos
The discontinuum unfurls
The gorge of Azagthoth
Forever ravenous

Azagthoth
Nuclei rumble
Azagthoth
From void emerge
Azagthoth
Paradigms tumble
Azagthoth
And parallels merge

What words can convey
The absurdity of living inside
The blade abyss we call our universe




Who are we in the light of such dimensions
Who am I to even begin to tell the tale

We are taught to rise and conquer what we see
The biosphere devours itself to stay alive
When the worms are done with what is left of us
And the atoms have regained their memory at last

The great beast that contains all matter awakens
Just to find itself engulfed
Wrapped up in a singularity
Choking in the vastness of Azagthoth

Rolling through chasms of unspeakability
Maws the size of galaxies revolve
Scourge the antisphere of space-time
Returning all to Azagthoth

Exploding vacuum
Teeth of the maelstrom
Absolute and final
Eversion of the cosmos
The discontiuum unfurls
The gorge of Azagthoth
Forever ravenous

Solo – Christian

A boil of seething, writhing flesh
Inseminates the sky
Inflates grotesquely
Fills the firmament
Tears through the horizon
Azagthoth
The noosphere burst
Rasps a final breath
Azagthoth
Fucks the universe to death

Azagthoth
Exploding vacuum
Teeth of the maelstrom
Absolute and final
Eversion of the cosmos
Azagthoth

Overall Meaning

The song "Azagthoth" by Alkaloid is a complex and thought-provoking piece that delves into the mysteries and absurdities of the universe. The lyrics describe the sweet bone-shattering music of the universe unraveling and black holes convolving, with a messenger traveling somewhere with this information. The song seems to be questioning the very nature of our existence and the limitations of our understanding of the universe. The chorus describes Azagthoth, a character or entity that seems to represent the vast, incomprehensible forces of the universe, with its teeth of the maelstrom and its forever ravenous gorge. The song culminates in a final verse that describes a boil of seething flesh inseminating the sky, filling the firmament, tearing through the horizon, and ultimately fucking the universe to death.


Overall, "Azagthoth" seems to be a meditation on the strange, terrifying, and beautiful nature of the universe, and a questioning of our place within it. The song suggests that there are mysteries that we can never hope to understand, and that even our most profound attempts to comprehend the universe may ultimately be futile.


Line by Line Meaning

To the sweet bone-shattering music Of physics unraveling Black holes convolve A messenger is traveling
As the universe experiences catastrophic events, with black holes colliding and physics breaking down, a dark force is on the move, carrying a message of doom.


It will start on the astral plane Tongues of spiders whisper Songs of outer frost Tongues of madness twist the Fabric of the brain Tongues of turmoil rip the Fabric of the world
The message of the dark force begins in the realm of the astral plane, with eerie whispers, and spreads to the physical world causing chaos and madness both in the minds of individuals and in the nature of the world itself.


Azagthoth Exploding vacuum Teeth of the maelstrom Absolute and final Eversion of the cosmos The discontinuum unfurls The gorge of Azagthoth Forever ravenous
Azagthoth represents the ultimate destruction of the cosmos, with a vacuum exploding, a violent vortex tearing everything apart, and an ever-hungry void opening up.


Nuclei rumble Azagthoth From void emerge Azagthoth Paradigms tumble Azagthoth And parallels merge
The power of Azagthoth is so overwhelming that it shatters even the most fundamental components of reality, causing nuclei to tremble, new things to emerge from the void, and entire paradigms to shift and blend together.


What words can convey The absurdity of living inside The blade abyss we call our universe Who are we in the light of such dimensions Who am I to even begin to tell the tale
The sheer scale and strangeness of the universe make it impossible to truly comprehend, leaving us to wonder who we are in the grand scheme of things and how we could ever hope to understand it.


We are taught to rise and conquer what we see The biosphere devours itself to stay alive When the worms are done with what is left of us And the atoms have regained their memory at last
Despite our attempts to control and understand the world around us, we are still subject to the same natural laws that govern the rest of the universe. In the end, we will be reduced to nothing more than atoms and memories.


The great beast that contains all matter awakens Just to find itself engulfed Wrapped up in a singularity Choking in the vastness of Azagthoth
Even the most powerful and all-encompassing force in the universe is powerless against the void of Azagthoth, which swallows everything in its path and leaves nothing behind.


Rolling through chasms of unspeakability Maws the size of galaxies revolve Scourge the antisphere of space-time Returning all to Azagthoth
As Azagthoth roams through the universe, devouring all in its path, it creates vast chasms and vortexes that ravage the fabric of space-time, drawing everything back into its ravenous maw.


A boil of seething, writhing flesh Inseminates the sky Inflates grotesquely Fills the firmament Tears through the horizon Azagthoth The noosphere burst Rasps a final breath Azagthoth Fucks the universe to death
In a final act of destruction, Azagthoth causes the very fabric of the universe to tear apart, unleashing a grotesque, writhing monstrosity into the sky that fills the entire cosmos before everything ultimately comes to an end in a cataclysmic finale.

Obscura: Who are you?

@connedwards7030

Vocals are amazing 10/10. Not sure why people aren't enjoying then cleans, it fits perfectly! Alkaloid forever, my favourite album this year. Amazing band, amazing musicians, amazing music and amazing song writing. Can't say enough good about this album, they are so far ahead and infront of so much other music

@TheReapersSon

It really sells their progressive aspect. Then again I love Nevermore so I'm used to a higher register. I think they're well executed and add to the track.

@EchoLog

Ne Obliviscaris (i think I spelled that Aussie band right) and Alkaloid have gorgeous clean vocals.
It throws in that classic power metal/going super Saiyan/stepped on a Lego while listening to Alkaloid and doing dishes sound!
