Arcane Mystic
Forming the Void Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Arcane Mystic take me to the fire below
We can eat the ashes burn with the dust
I have sailed on through the sky
I have sailed oceans of time
I have searched for the light
I have sailed all of my life

Arcane Mystic take me to the fire below
We can eat the ashes burn with the dust
Ancient tales speak of the one
He who dwells in the beyond
Casting the spell summoning light
I have searched all of my life
I have sailed through the divide
I have sailed celestial tides




I have searched for the light
I have sailed all of my life

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Forming the Void's Arcane Mystic seem to be a call to an "Arcane Mystic" to take the singer below to the fire, where they can consume ashes and burn with the dust. The singer has spent their life searching for something - maybe a sense of purpose or enlightenment - and seems to have found it in this Arcane Mystic figure. The words "sailed" and "searched" here are significant as they suggest a spiritual quest or journey, perhaps a metaphor for the turbulent ups and downs that one goes through to find their place in the world. The repetition of "I have sailed" and "I have searched" gives the lyrics a sense of perseverance, determination and hope - despite the challenges faced and the unknown territory crossed, the singer continues to sail and search.


The reference to "ancient tales" and the "one who dwells in the beyond" emphasizes the mystical and supernatural themes of the song. The use of fire imagery suggests transformation, as burning can represent a purifying or transformative experience that leads to growth or change. The idea of eating ashes and burning with the dust may also signify a willingness to embrace the darker aspects of life, to accept that things will inevitably break down and decay, and to find beauty in this process. Ultimately, the lyrics to Arcane Mystic seem to be about the human search for meaning, a nod to the mystical journey that many go on to find their place in the world.
