Invoking names like Dance Gavin Dance, Russian Circles, and the Dear Hunter, Eidola was founded in 2011 by Andrew Michael Wells (vocals), Brandon Bascom (guitar, vocals), James Johnson (bass), Matthew Dommer (guitar, vocals), and Matthew Hansen (drums). The band self-released its 2012 debut album, The Great Glass Elephant. Two years later the group inked a deal with Dance Gavin Dance guitarist Will Swan's indie label Blue Swan Records and issued Degeneraterra. In early 2017 they dropped the single "Amplissimus Machina" ahead of the arrival of their third studio long-player, To Speak, to Listen, which featured guest spots from Joey Lancaster, ex-A Lot Like Birds bassist Matthew Coate, and saxophonist Nicholas Pope. Guitarist Brandon Bascom left the fold shortly after the album's release and was replaced by Sergio Medina. In 2021, Eidola unveiled the fiery "Counterfeit Shines," their first new single in four years. It appeared on their fourth full-length effort, 2021's Rise-issued The Architect. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi

De Coelesti Hierarchia
Eidola Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Between the crown and matrices
Never misgive, never regret
Her grace will always find me in the end
I've spent every ounce of faith I had to give
Now I've come to build the throne
The lyrics in Eidola's song De Coelesti Hierarchia revolve around the concept of faith and the relationship between God and the singer. The opening lines, "eternal light in the space between the crown and matrices," refer to the divine realm, where God resides. The singer sees this space as a source of light and hope, providing direction and purpose in their life. The next line, "never misgive, never regret," suggests that despite any doubts or fears the singer may have about their faith, they remain steadfast in their beliefs.
The third line, "her grace will always find me in the end," speaks to the singer's belief in God's unending mercy and forgiveness. The singer sees God's grace as a guiding force, helping them to navigate life's challenges and ultimately find their way back to the divine realm. The final lines, "I've spent every ounce of faith I had to give, now I've come to build the throne," suggest that the singer has reached a point of spiritual maturity, having fully committed themselves to their faith. The metaphor of building a throne speaks to the singer's desire to establish a lasting relationship with God, one based on mutual respect and trust.

Eternal light in the space
The everlasting radiance shining in the vast expanse of the universe
Between the crown and matrices
Existing amidst the majestic emblem of royalty and the intricate systems of order
Never misgive, never regret
Without faltering or second-guessing, always resolute in conviction
Her grace will always find me in the end
The benevolent mercy of the divine will ultimately locate and embrace me
I've spent every ounce of faith I had to give
I have exhausted all the trust and belief I possessed
Now I've come to build the throne
But now I am resolved to construct my rightful place of power and authority
