Reptile Sun
Dopelord Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Night of rat people crawl in the dark
Warlocks and witches calling their gods
Bring fire and light - reptile sun
Reptile Sun
Reptile Sun
Blinded by pride become the opressors
Temples of glory carved in gold
Radiating light - reptile sun
Reptile Sun
Reptile Sun
The lyrics to Dopelord's song Reptile Sun describe a time in the distant past where there was no light and "rat people" crawled in the darkness. Warlocks and witches call upon their gods to bring fire and light, and thus the "reptile sun" is born. This reptilian sun seems to be worshipped by the people in this world, as it is described as a "mythical saviour" and people engage in "idolatrous dance." However, pride blinds them and they become oppressors, creating temples of glory filled with gold and radiating light.
Through these lyrics, Dopelord seems to be exploring themes of power and corruption, as well as the dangers of blindly following and worshipping something, especially if it comes at the cost of other people's freedom and well-being. The image of a reptile sun is also interesting, as it evokes a sense of primal power and ancient mystery, and may suggest a connection to ancient myths and stories.
Overall, the lyrics to Reptile Sun are evocative and thought-provoking, inviting the listener to reflect on the darker aspects of humanity and the dangers of unchecked power.
