Incubus
Daemonarch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna see your thousand wings
Open, closing, behind you
Open them all at once for me
Be prepared for what you see
I will die before
Listen to my thousand tongues
Amplifiy it by a thousand screams
Speak them all at once for me
Be prepared for what you hear
I will die before
I will live untouched
Incubus, succumb to me
Succubus, incube with me
Incubus Succubus
There is an order
That will be a meaning
When you're discovered
You'll die with the lust, but we'll see
There is an order
That will be a meaning
Incubus spreads with your disease
Succubus under a mad reveal
There is much more than I really mean
There is so little to be a few
Succubus, oh fly with me
I wanna be your symmetry
Succubus, arise in me
I wanna be the apathy
Succubus, arise in me
I wanna touch in harmony
Succubus, oh come to me
I've got to feel the anarchy
Incubus, succumb to me
Want to see a thousand wings
Open, closing, behind you?
Open them all at once for me
Be prepared for what you see
Listen to my thousand tongues
Amplified by a thousand screams
Speak them all at once for me
Be prepared for what you hear
Incubus, succumb to me
Succubus, incube with me
Incubus Succubus
The lyrics of Daemonarch's song Incubus suggest a plea to a supernatural entity to reveal itself to the singer. The singer addresses the entity as an incubus and a succubus interchangeably. The incubus is a male demon who preys on sleeping women to have sexual intercourse with them, while succubus is the female counterpart that preys on men. The "thousand wings" could be the manifestation of the entity's power, which the singer wants to witness. The singer seems to be tantalized at the thought of seeing the entity's power, and the line "be prepared for what you see" suggests a warning that what he sees may be overwhelming for him to handle.
In the second verse, the singer asks the entity to speak to him through its "thousand tongues," and "amplify it by a thousand screams." The entity's screams are so many that they would need to be amplified to be heard by the singer. The singer seems to be aware of the danger that lies in calling out to these entities, but he is willing to face the consequences. The final verses of the song suggest that there is an order and meaning to the entity's actions, which the singer wants to understand. He wants to "feel the anarchy" and be a part of the entity's power, which may ultimately cause him harm.
