WHYYYYY?????

GROWING INSIDE
THERES A PARASITE.
The lyrics of Lifeforms’ song “Illogical” appear to deal with the aftermath of a violent invasion, with particular emphasis on the rape and subjugation of women. The artist expresses a sense of disbelief and confusion, questioning the motivations for such atrocities and seeing this as the end of an era. The lines “creating mutations/bringing to life the nephilim” suggest that this invasion has led to the creation of hybrid beings, the offspring of the invaders and their victims. The names “Nefertiti and Akhenaten” are also mentioned, both connected to ancient Egyptian history, implying perhaps that this invasion has taken place in a similar historical context, where gods and mortals were believed to intermingle.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of tension and foreboding, culminating in the final line “there’s a parasite”, which suggests a continuing cycle of violence and exploitation. The use of repetition and shouting in the chorus reinforces the sense of anger and frustration underlying the lyrics, while the references to ancient mythology give a sense of the long history of violence and oppression that seems to be continuing in the present.
Overall, the lyrics of “Illogical” are a powerful indictment of violence and exploitation, emphasizing the impact on women in particular and questioning the motivations behind such behavior. The use of ancient mythology and the suggestion of mutated beings adds a surreal element to the song, highlighting the strangeness of a world where such violence continues to occur.
