The singer is calling out to the Lord to build and fill him with light, but also to chasten him with sight. The idea of sight is important, as the singer wants to see as a god would see, and even crushes their own eyes to attain this sight. The idea of becoming godlike is further emphasized when the singer claims to have slayed the lion to become him, and to have choked the human within to gain the will of a god.
The imagery in the lyrics is intense and graphic, with references to wounds, blood, and devouring flesh. The singer is in a state of madness, overflowing with venom and ready to open their chest to devour flesh with their word. The earth itself trembles and goes silent as the singer speaks these words.
