Arcane Sun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the angels. You hold within your very eyes an eclipse and with you also
comes a sun, whose arcane light can destroy all in it's path.'
'It is not really so I have told myself, but to a man whose own reflection
is threatening, such rational words fall forever on deaf ears. And yes,
you hold Eden and your golden aura that I have held in my hands will take
me to other worlds where the fruits of Eden are life itself.'
And as love itself seeks our nectar, to read your next chapter
is all I have wished for, but a blank page will enlighten no man.
The lyrics of the song Avatar by Arcane Sun are poetic and metaphoric, evoking a sense of mysticism and spirituality. The opening lines describe a chantress, who possesses the power to allure angels with her voice and music. She is also said to have a mystical quality in her eyes, which can cause both an eclipse and a bright arcane light that can destroy anything in its path. This combination of enchantment and destructive power creates a sense of awe and fear, suggesting that the chantress is a formidable force to be reckoned with.
The second stanza shifts the focus on the singer's own thoughts and feelings. He admits that he has tried to rationalize the chantress's powers, but has failed to convince himself. He seems to be intimidated by her beauty and her aura of purity, which he compares to the Garden of Eden. He hopes that by following her, he too can access a world of abundance and fulfillment. The final line, "And as love itself seeks our nectar, to read your next chapter is all I have wished for, but a blank page will enlighten no man," indicates a desire for knowledge and understanding, but suggests that without action, there can be no true enlightenment.
