Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Anti's song Invocation are deeply spiritual and resonate with ancient religious beliefs. The words are taken from the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire created by the writer H. P. Lovecraft. The song begins with an invocation to the AGAKU, which is a reference to the ancient Sumerian god, Enki.

The main part of the song consists of the repetition of four phrases, "ZI KIA KANPA, ZI ANNA KANPA, ZI DINGIR KIA KANPA, ZI DINGIR ANNA KANPA". These phrases are believed to be a type of incantation that was used in ancient Sumerian and Babylonian religious rituals. The lyrics evoke the spirits of the Earth and sky, calling upon them to "Remember!". The use of these archaic phrases throughout the song emphasizes the power and timelessness of the gods being invoked.

The song is both eerie and intriguing, drawing upon the mysticism and mythology of ancient civilizations. The lyrics imply a desire to connect with these ancient powers, to ask for their guidance and protection. The repetition of the phrases is meant to create a hypnotic effect, and when combined with the driving beat of the music, the listener feels as if they are being transported to another realm.
