Karma
Alpha Tiger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Light
The sphere alit in garish light
Unknown sapience fills my mind
All mundane forsakes my fate
My weightless soul does levitate

Elder spirits call at me
Equal nightmares frequently
The deity on lions throne
Straight from the abyss of my soul

Afterworld
Afterworld
On my way I led astray

Afterworld
Afterworld
From my inner sanctuary

Now
I wander through the plains of dread
Somewhere between life and death
And I try to find escape
From phantoms in angelic shapes

The realm descends into bedlam
With blood drinking guardians
This image breaks my sanity
God, consciousness dwindles from me

Afterworld
Afterworld
On my way I led astray

Afterworld
Afterworld
From my inner sanctuary

I felt the harm of my own vile deeds
And failed to pass this final trial
So I seek refuge in mothers womb
And so it will start again




Start again
Start again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Alpha Tiger's song Karma create a vivid image of a person's journey through the afterlife. The opening stanza describes a bright light, representing the journey from life to afterlife, and the unknown sapience filling the person's mind represents the experience of encountering spirits or supernatural beings. The next stanza describes the person's encounter with elder spirits and nightmares, suggesting that they are beginning to understand the consequences of past actions or behavior. The deity on lion's throne is likely a representation of the judgment that the person is facing in the afterlife, and the abyss of the soul represents the depths of their own guilt or shame.


The chorus provides the song's title and encapsulates the concept of karma, with the person acknowledging that they have led themselves astray and are now faced with the consequences of their actions. The lyrics in the following stanza describe the person wandering through a terrifying landscape, encountering phantoms that represent both their own guilt and the judgment of others. The final stanza suggests that the person has failed their trial and is seeking refuge in the safety of birth, suggesting that the cycle of karma and rebirth will begin again.
