Quasar
Beheading Of A King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My body dissembles and slowly vanishes
I am consumed to death
The horizon is collapsing on itself
Surrender to the quasar
May I decline death's offer
It's barely worth it
You think the world we knew
Quasar realize what you're facing
I am
Making an eye to eye contact
Craving for matter and worlds to destroy
For matter and worlds to destroy
Quasar
Realize the astral in agony
Pleading this consiousness
For our provocation was too intense
We are the architects of a revolution
We are the architects of this atmosphere
We are the builders of the basics
That rule the junkyard you're calling our world
This is the last moment
As the light in the sky loses its beauty
This is a strunghold of men
The nearest point of extinction
It's the end of innocence
Acting without consequence
At your expense, I'll have a ball
Contemplating man's downfall
I'll crush everything in my path
You'll feel the rush, the aftermath
Destroy.
I am the voice of the mute
And the ears of the deaf
And the time as come for us to try
To get out of this place alive.
The lyrics to Beheading Of A King's song Quasar explore themes of destruction, death, and revolution. The opening lines of the song, "surrender to the quasar, my body dissembles and slowly vanishes, I am consumed to death," speak to the overwhelming and all-consuming nature of the quasar. The singer seems to be accepting their fate, acknowledging that death is imminent as the horizon collapses on itself.
As the song progresses, the singer's tone shifts from one of surrender to one of aggression. They crave destruction and want to be the architects of a revolution. They view humanity as builders of a "junkyard" world and take pleasure in contemplating its downfall. The closing lines of the song suggest a desire to escape this world, a recognition that the time has come for something new.

Surrender to the quasar
Give in to the power of the quasar
My body dissembles and slowly vanishes
My body is breaking apart and disappearing
I am consumed to death
I am being consumed by the quasar and will die
The horizon is collapsing on itself
The horizon is imploding in on itself
May I decline death's offer
I hope to avoid death
It's barely worth it
Death is not worth it
You think the world we knew will bring us down
You believe that our world will cause our failure
Quasar realize what you're facing
The quasar must understand what it is up against
Making an eye to eye contact
Looking directly into someone or something's eyes
Craving for matter and worlds to destroy
Desiring to destroy matter and entire planets
Realize the astral in agony
Understand the pain of the astral world
Pleading this consciousness
Begging for help from this consciousness
For our provocation was too intense
We provoked too strongly
We are the architects of a revolution
We are the creators of a revolution
We are the architects of this atmosphere
We created this atmosphere
We are the builders of the basics
We built the basic structures
That rule the junkyard you're calling our world
The structures we built govern the world you call a junkyard
This is the last moment
This is the final moment
As the light in the sky loses its beauty
As the sky loses its beauty
This is a stronghold of men
This is a fortress of men
The nearest point of extinction
The closest point to extinction
It's the end of innocence
Innocence is ending
Acting without consequence
Acting without regard to the consequences
At your expense, I'll have a ball
I'll enjoy myself at your expense
Contemplating man's downfall
Thinking about the downfall of man
I'll crush everything in my path
I will destroy everything in my way
You'll feel the rush, the aftermath
You will experience the aftermath
I am the voice of the mute
I am speaking for the voiceless
And the ears of the deaf
And listening for the deaf
And the time has come for us to try
It's time for us to try
To get out of this place alive.
To survive and escape from this place.
