Hymn of the Absolute Deceit
Arcana Lyrics

The lyrics of "Hymn of Absolute Deceit" by Arcana seem to be exploring themes of intimacy, pain, and mortality. The opening lines suggest a deep connection between two individuals who have shared each other's pain while simultaneously finding beauty in the shared experience. This may suggest a relationship that borders on the line between life and death, or one in which pain and suffering are an integral part of the connection between the two.

The lines "Please let me come in your arms/Let me inside/Why punish me, why bring me sorrow/You angel of grief" suggest a desire for closeness and comfort but also a recognition that such intimacy may come with a price. The singer addresses their partner, who is depicted as an "angel of grief," suggesting that their connection may be one that is tinged with sorrow and pain.

The repeated lines "The growing death inside of me/The knowledge of one" may be suggesting a growing awareness of mortality, one that is shared between the two individuals in the relationship. This could be seen as a recognition that all intimacy and connection carries with it the potential for loss and pain, even as it can also offer beauty and solace.
