Anamnesis
Depresy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My origin is in fire of vernal space
Each atom in my flesh
Was here long before living
In flames I witnessed cosmos coming

I hold the legacy of long-lived energy
Floating balance disguised in evolution
Along with dust of space ancestry
I shield the inner flame of stellar cremation

Revolted demigod burned his bridges
Escape from nature, where true wisdom mature
And he never found again the lost virtue

But man stole the fire and all elements enclosed
Searched for Khaos' source, when space-time arose
Staring beyond horizon as his twilight grows

In cold dark oblivion ideas are drowning
Knowing my grave by heart
From beginning I lay inside
Whenever I rise in superior form of living

I materialized and love beauty
But I'm wading in the dirt of world
That mud overflows history of cruelty
Through senses of man to time-eternity

Constant presence of death allures me
As much as it dreads you
I'm being, that came from deep space to Earth

Myriads of fiery spots surround me




In their stable beams I see the past
I remember my burning in stars

Overall Meaning

The singer acknowledges the role of death and the fact that it both allures and dreads them. They also note that they are “being, that came from deep space to Earth” and that they remember their burning in the stars.

I Dream of Apocalypse

This song is an evolutionary milestone for the band. A stripped down groove with Depresy's nefarious fingerprints = maximum headbanging!
