Sus letras, ciertamente introspectivas, pretenden dar a conocer posiciones personales sobre interrogantes existenciales que la mayoría del ser humano se ha planteado.

A pesar de su corta existencia, Antiflvx tiene cierto reconocimiento a nivel internacional a raíz de su inclusión en un compilado en formato vinilo del sello español Oráculo Records llamado “Ride The Wave” con la canción "The Haze". Con la aparición de este nuevo proyecto en los panoramas locales e internacionales, Antiflvx pretende dar por iniciado su camino en el circuito de la música alternativa de forma activa con un sonido frío y nublado que busca imprimir la atmósfera de su natal Bogotá y sus propias vivencias.

Sculpture
Antiflvx Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, Sculpture, of marble skin
Of crystal eyes and heart of sin You'll be
Eternal and a never-ending muse, yet still

Oh sculpture, I carve your face
With chisel, hammer and my way to see
The beauty and my sadness, a consequence tied to it

Sculpture, Oh Sculpture
A distant archetype of love
Sculpture, Oh Sculpture
A piece of art born in my cold

Oh Sculpture, in dark cold nights
I see you with a veil of light that shines,
In gold and grey reflected by your perfect shape

Oh sculpture, a masterpiece
A perfect body with a void inside of it
Eternal and a never-ending muse, yet still

Sculpture, Oh Sculpture
A distant archetype of love

Sculpture, Oh Sculpture
A piece of art born in my cold

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Antiflvx's "Sculpture" are a contemplation on the nature of art and beauty. The song describes a sculpture, created by the singer, with "marble skin" and "crystal eyes," that is both eternal and an endless source of inspiration. The sculpture is also described as having a "heart of sin," suggesting that the beauty it represents is not without darkness or complexity.

The singer recognizes that their own perspective shapes the way they carve the sculpture, conveying their own "beauty and sadness" in the process. The sculpture, therefore, becomes a reflection of the sculptor's own emotional experience, and a way of processing and expressing it. Despite being a product of the sculptor's personal vision, the sculpture is also something that can be appreciated by others, existing as a "distant archetype of love."

The idea of creating art as a way of expressing one's inner experience and creating something of beauty is a central theme throughout the song. The sculpture represents a kind of ideal beauty, with its "perfect shape" and "veil of light," but the singer is also conscious of the "void inside of it." This suggests that beauty is not always straightforward or easy to attain, and may require some kind of sacrifice or darkness to achieve.

Overall, Antiflvx's "Sculpture" is a meditation on the power of art and beauty to help us process complex emotions, and the role of our own inner experiences in shaping what we create.
