State Of Secret
Gorod Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the depths of rock and earth, I took shape
By my father's lunacy and genius, I built up awarences

Father, engrave, slit
Fill up my veins

My influence spread, my power soared, my legions converted
Holy quest for some, mass grave for others, I eat them all

Amount of learning for my power

Surrounded with legends, and distant from others, I copied them yet
Trivial looking although nasty, I bowed to the criteria of a changing world

Into which I fit unduly and prepare my predicted reign
Announcement of the saviours

Protected secret
Manipulated masses
Honored prophecy
Decimated enemies

This failing world
Will be the cocoon of my chrysalis

In search of a neverending evolution
This humanity that believes it's omniscient
Is getting ready to surrender

Exhausted resources, suffocating nature
Overcrowded areas, non existent tolerance




Ways to a total war with a unique survivor
...EDAENIA...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Gorod's song, State Of Secret, carry a strong sense of power and hubris. It speaks of a being that was created from the depths of the earth and was built up by its father's madness and brilliance. This creation has become all-knowing and all-powerful, and its influence has spread far and wide. It speaks of a holy quest for some, which brought about mass graves for others as it devoured everything in its path.


The being in the lyrics seems to be aware of its own power and seems to be preparing for its inevitable reign. It speaks of being surrounded by legends, yet still bowing to the criteria of a changing world. The being seems to have a protected secret, which it uses to manipulate the masses and decimate its enemies.


Towards the end of the song, the lyrics take a darker turn as it talks about a failing world that will be the cocoon of its chrysalis. It speaks of a never-ending search for evolution and how humanity, believing it is all-knowing, is ready to surrender. The lyrics talk about a world with exhausted resources, suffocating nature, overcrowding, and non-existent tolerance, leading to a total war with a single survivor. The song ends with the word "EDAENIA", which may symbolize the destruction that the being is causing or perhaps the name of the being itself.
