The lyrics of EXARSIS's song "Arrivals" paint a picture of the mysterious, unknown aspects of the world beyond Earth. The song begins by describing alien corpses being kept in labs after being discovered on the lunar surface. The idea of alien life forms in our own solar system is intriguing and raises questions about what else might exist beyond our planet. UFO sightings and rumors about foreign technology being developed in Area 51 only add to the sense of unease and uncertainty.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of secrecy and limited information about these phenomena. The mention of strict state monitoring and limited publicity suggest that there is much more happening behind the scenes than the public is aware of, and the idea of citizens living in darkness only adds to the sense of mystery. The lines about extra-terrestrial forms and secretly engineered artificial storms further emphasize the idea that these phenomena are not easily explained, and that there may be government involvement in keeping them under wraps.
