Pandemonium
B-Front Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Withering communication
Quivering trepidation
Balance unhinged writhing our foundation
Deinstitutionalised from our daily lives
Born and raised with total assurance that we are all knowing
All powerful, divinely significant
Behind our ignorance our chromosomes remain unchanged
Our primordial harmony resonates our programming to survive by any means necessary
When our reign begins to implode, the abrasion of our selfish genes are exposed
The weak, the young, the old, trampled beneath
When the inferno reaches the hive, pandemonium revived
It's too late to atone
Together we are alone




Walk into the unknown
A realm without our throne

Overall Meaning

The opening line "withering communication, quivering trepidation" is a portrayal of deteriorating communication between people, hinting at how the world has become a more divided place over time. The second line, "balance unhinged writhing our foundation", is a description of how the weakening of communication has caused fear and instability in our society. It suggests that we are currently standing on shaky foundations, which could cause our world to collapse at any given moment.


The next few lines illustrate how we have become detached from our daily lives and have been raised with an overconfident and self-important attitude. We have become accustomed to thinking that we are invincible and can conquer anything, but the reality is that we are vulnerable, and our arrogance could cost us everything. Our programming to survive by any means necessary has resulted in a chaotic environment where the weak, young, and old are often trampled upon.


The following lines “when the inferno reaches the hive, pandemonium revived, it’s too late to atone, together we are alone, walk into the unknown, a realm without our throne” depict the aftermath of all the chaos that was caused by our ignorance and shortsightedness. The fire that was sparked by our actions has consumed everything, and there is no turning back. We are left only with our regrets as we walk into the unknown, where there is no throne, and we are all equal.
