Prometheus
Erra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Undiscovered entities, thoughts of inconceivable beings
Universal catastrophe, they're relatives to you and me
Space and time, emptiness lightyears wide
To discover the reasons why, we'd revaluate all our lives
Happenings that can't be explained the crawling inside your brain
Unknown toxins in every vein
Exo-galactic planetary sabbatical
Their design is tactical surviving is impractical
Our inferior intelligence versus calculating assailants
Ancient times of negligence eradication of our existence
Our races are being tamed undiscovered entities
Thoughts of inconceivable beings

Creatures that became our masters
Worlds fused from disaster
Realizations too late to matter
The descent of man begins the pattern
Exo-galactic planetary sabbatical
Our races are being tamed their design is tactical
Surviving is impractical
Happenings that can't be explained
The crawling inside your brain unknown toxins in every vein
Our races are being tamed
Creatures that became our masters worlds fused from disaster




Realizations too late to matter
The descent of man begins the pattern the descent of man

Overall Meaning

In Erra's song Prometheus, the lyrics explore the idea of undiscovered entities and beings existing throughout the universe, some of which may be related to humanity. The song highlights the vastness of space and time, and the inherent mystery that comes with trying to understand it. The singer suggests that if we were to truly seek out these unknown reasons for the universe and our existence within it, it would require reevaluating our entire lives.


Throughout the song, there is a sense of foreboding and danger - the idea that there may be beings out there that are far more advanced and calculating than humans, with the ability to manipulate and control our race. The singer suggests that in ancient times, our negligence may have led to our own destruction, and that now we are being tamed and potentially controlled by these unidentified beings. The final lines, "the descent of man begins the pattern", leave the listener with a sense of hopelessness and inevitability.


Overall, the lyrics of Prometheus cast a bleak and chilling vision of humanity's place in the universe, and the potential consequences of our continued ignorance and arrogance.
