vii
Au-Dessus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tombstones sunken deep in a lifeless soil
Speak of long forgotten past
Familiar writings but other scripts
Familiar voices but other speech
Journey through utopian memories
Rewrites manifests once carved deep in flesh
We are the creators of all the meanings
Dealers of our own addiction
Sell ourselves to weakness
Abandon hope and throw all goals away
Fear of innate perdition
Urge to search shelter in divine shrines
Afraid to meet our inner beings
We rebuild those tombstones to erase the past
We'rethe creators of all... Of all the meanings
Dealers of our own addictions
Sell ourselves to weakness
Abandon hope and die in vain

Portray..belief..
Expect.. relief..




Portray..belief..
Accept.. grief.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Au-Dessus's song VII explore the themes of memory, addiction, and the search for meaning in life. The opening lines paint a picture of a desolate landscape where tombstones are sunken deep into the soil, speaking of a forgotten past. The subsequent lines reveal that although the familiar writings and voices are present, they are in different scripts and speech, suggesting that the past does not entirely align with the present.


The song goes on to delve deeper into the human experience, exploring our addiction to weakness and our fear of facing our inner selves. The urge to seek refuge in divine shrines and the constant rebuilding of tombstones is seen as a futile attempt to erase the past and avoid facing our innate perdition. Yet, the chorus reminds us that we are the creators of our own meanings and the dealers of our own addictions, ultimately slipping into despair as we abandon hope and die in vain.


The repeated phrases of "Portray belief, Expect relief" and "Portray belief, Accept grief" suggest the cyclical nature of our belief systems and how they can lead to both hope and despair.


Overall, the lyrics of VII offer a bleak but insightful commentary on the human experience, urging us to confront our inner demons and find meaning in our lives before it's too late.

This band really took me by surprise. I like the different layers to their music. It's something you cannot comprehend just by listening to it once or skipping through the songs. This is truly something outstanding.

At first I couldn't leave aside the similarities to both Mgla and Blut aus Nord. Now I'm getting into it and feel it as breeze of freshness.
