Fade
Indesinence Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I - The Banishing
II - The Sphere
III - The Children of Coma

I

The visions might have appeared in a lucid dream
Space feels eternal, the trance must have settled in
Gazing straight into the ether to unearth the key
Motionless for hours yet miles away from here

The gateway now behind, and the Mysteries far ahead
As the trees close in above me, no one left by my side
The pinnacle looks furthest, still I relish the path
To ensnarement and latitude, away from shame and doubt

To transcend the bounds of consensus reality
And to cherish the nascent cognitive liberty

I traverse further above, then further down to rebuild
Clouds begin to disperse, as abstract truths are revealed
Surviving trials of an age, uprooted within inner depths
Their bright shadow echoing in the dark splendour of the universe

To abide all fear and embrace the mystery
As we savour the flesh of untold possibility

To reveal, to revive, to be at cause
To shatter the illusion of complacence and vice
To face the unfamiliar and bend the linear
To never take a seat at the play of chance

I beseech thy effigy to indulge me this once
Maul and crush my body and blow my mind

II

Illuminated or buried in life
I flee the claws of self-deceit
And, free from the shackles of conceit and vanity
To will, to live and to defy insanity
To trance-migrate into states of divinity
To feel the force of the uncertain and Vital

The sphere is turning, its dark maw wide open
The spurious light that once blinded now frozen
Quod est inferius, est sicut quod est superius
Thus is the glory of the world begotten
Ubique Daemon - ubique Deus
My bloodstream the ink to a contract eternal
Into the vast, freer than ever, I fall

III

The children of coma
Crammed into a corner
They've noticed my presence
They are staring at me

Their eyes cut the darkness
Their laughter breaks the silence
They've noticed my presence
They are smiling at me

Their eyes slice the darkness
Their laughs infest the silence




They've noticed my presence
They are seeing into me

Overall Meaning

The Indesinence song "Fade" is a complex and sophisticated work of art that spans three movements, each with its own unique perspective on the themes of inner exploration, spiritual liberation, and the search for higher meaning. The lyrics in the first movement, "The Banishing," describe the experience of entering into a lucid dream state and then gazing deeply into the ether to find some hidden key to understanding. The singer of the song is motionless for hours, yet miles away from here, lost in the trance of the moment.


As the lyrics progress, the singer begins to explore further, trying to transcend the bounds of everyday reality, and to embrace the nascent cognitive liberty that comes with it. The character pushes further into the unknown, facing fears and embracing the mystery of existence. Their journey leads them to a better understanding of the universe's dark splendor, and they are willing to embrace the unknown and bend the linear to find deeper truth.


The second movement, "The Sphere," takes on a more philosophical tone, exploring the idea of illumination, life, self-deceit, and transcending the shackles of vanity and conceit. The lyrics in this part of the song paint a picture of the singer freeing themselves from the weight of societal expectations and embracing their true calling in life. They reject the illusion of complacence and embrace vitality, feeling the force of the uncertain, and pushing boundaries.


Finally, the last section, "The Children of Coma," takes a dark turn as the singer encounters a group of people crammed into a corner, staring at them with wide eyes. The lyrics paint a picture of these people as existing in some sort of limbo, stuck between life and the afterlife, and constantly trapped in a state of perpetual limbo. They function as a metaphor for the consequences of succumbing to the status quo, of being caught and unable to escape the stagnation.


Overall, the song "Fade" by Indesinence is a powerful and thought-provoking work of art that explores some of the most fundamental questions concerning the human condition. It takes the listener on a journey through inner exploration, spiritual yearning, and the struggle to find higher meaning in life.


Line by Line Meaning

The visions might have appeared in a lucid dream
Possibly a surreal experience, as if in a dream


Space feels eternal, the trance must have settled in
The vastness of space makes one feel timeless and introspective


Gazing straight into the ether to unearth the key
Looking deeply inward to discover meaning


Motionless for hours yet miles away from here
Physical time is suspended while the mind is lost in thought


The gateway now behind, and the Mysteries far ahead
The journey has just begun, with much ahead and much left behind


As the trees close in above me, no one left by my side
Feeling alone and small in the grand scheme of things


The pinnacle looks furthest, still I relish the path
The heights of achievement seem far, but the journey itself is enjoyable


To ensnarement and latitude, away from shame and doubt
Seeking liberation and freedom from negative emotions


To transcend the bounds of consensus reality
Moving beyond commonly held beliefs and perceptions


And to cherish the nascent cognitive liberty
Appreciating newfound mental freedom


I traverse further above, then further down to rebuild
Going deeper in thought before coming back up to refresh


Clouds begin to disperse, as abstract truths are revealed
New perspectives emerge and clarity is gained


Surviving trials of an age, uprooted within inner depths
Enduring the hardships of life and searching within oneself


Their bright shadow echoing in the dark splendour of the universe
The lasting impact of those who have come before, reverberating through time and space


To abide all fear and embrace the mystery
Facing and accepting one's fears and the unknown


As we savour the flesh of untold possibility
Exploring the vast potential that life has to offer


To reveal, to revive, to be at cause
Unleashing creativity, revitalizing oneself, taking control of one's life


To shatter the illusion of complacence and vice
Breaking free from self-satisfaction and addiction


To face the unfamiliar and bend the linear
Confronting the unknown and changing the predictable


To never take a seat at the play of chance
Avoiding randomness and being proactive in determining one's own fate


I beseech thy effigy to indulge me this once
Asking a divine or supernatural force for a concession


Maul and crush my body and blow my mind
Willingness to experience intense physical and mental sensations


Illuminated or buried in life
Living life in either an enlightened or obscured state


I flee the claws of self-deceit
Escaping one's own lies and illusions


And, free from the shackles of conceit and vanity
Without egotism or superficiality holding one back


To will, to live and to defy insanity
Choosing to live with intention and sanity


To trance-migrate into states of divinity
Reaching godly states through mental trances


To feel the force of the uncertain and Vital
Being aware of the power of the unknown and the importance of life


The sphere is turning, its dark maw wide open
The universe is always in motion, with darkness lurking


The spurious light that once blinded now frozen
The false illumination that previously caused blindness is now recognized as immovable


Quod est inferius, est sicut quod est superius
As above, so below


Thus is the glory of the world begotten
This is how the world's beauty is created


Ubique Daemon - ubique Deus
Everywhere is the spirit - everywhere is the God


My bloodstream the ink to a contract eternal
Life itself is like an unwritten, eternal contract


Into the vast, freer than ever, I fall
Falling into the infinite expanses of the universe and feeling liberated


The children of coma
People in a numb, unconscious state


Crammed into a corner
Trapped and confined


They've noticed my presence
Becoming aware of an outsider


They are staring at me
Fixated on this new presence


Their eyes cut the darkness
Intense, piercing gazes


Their laughter breaks the silence
Laughter ringing through the previously silent space


They've noticed my presence
Again, aware of the outsider


They are smiling at me
Showing amusement or curiosity towards this new presence


Their eyes slice the darkness
Their gaze is penetrating and precise


Their laughs infest the silence
Their laughter consumes the once empty space


They've noticed my presence
Acknowledging the presence of an outsider once more


They are seeing into me
Peering deeply into the outsider's soul
