Totes Licht
Eden Synthetic Corps Lyrics

The lyrics of "Totes Licht" by Eden Synthetic Corps describe an entity that is elusive and intangible yet so present and powerful that it is essentially stealing the air and freedom of the listener. The entity is likened to smoke and disease, which are both harmful and difficult to grasp. It sees the listener dying and hears them screaming in pain, but it also revels in the sound of their suffering. The chorus poses a direct question to the listener, asking if they know what they are, if they recognize the face of the entity that is causing their suffering. The phrase "Ein totes Licht," or "a dead light," is used to describe the listener, who may feel trapped and hopeless in the face of such powerlessness.

The second verse speaks of endless dreams that may seem unattainable to the listener. The entity seems to taunt them, saying that there is no escape from the pain and that no one understands the depth of their suffering. The lyrics are very evocative and use strong imagery to convey a sense of intense despair and hopelessness. The song seems to reflect on the darker aspects of the human experience, focusing on themes of powerlessness, suffering, and the struggle to find meaning in a world that can be cruel and unforgiving.
