Invincible Throne
Conan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics to Conan's song Invincible Throne are highly symbolic and open to interpretation. At its core, the song speaks of a powerful, seething beast that has been taken and bound to an earthbound quest. This beast is commanded by a "seeker" who demands obedience and destruction from the beast. The "warlord" in these lyrics could refer to the beast itself, or perhaps another powerful figure that the seeker commands. The reference to impaling in the lyrics could be interpreted as a violent or cruel act, suggesting that the power dynamics at play are not necessarily just.
The lyrics continue with a reference to horns of wrath, which could symbolize the aggressive or combative nature of the seeker's commands. The mountain speaking could be interpreted as a metaphor for some sort of natural force or power that the seeker is tapping into to maintain control over the beast and their followers. Ultimately, the repeated refrain of "obey the seeker, intent. Destroy" is a reminder of the violent and reportedly all-consuming nature of the monster's mission. This powerful imagery creates a sense of foreboding and fear in the listener, evoking a world in which brutality and violence are the only sure paths to power.
