Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mathame's song Prophecy are mostly comprised of repetition of sounds and words. The first part of the lyrics consists of a continuous repetition of the sounds "Pum pum" and "Turun." The multiple repetitions of these sounds are used to create a mesmerizing, almost trance-like effect. The repetition is then broken by the single instance of the sounds "Tiririririririiririririririri" and "Turururururuururururun," which add variations to the pattern of the song and also help maintain the hypnotic effect.

The second part of the lyrics seems to incorporate more words, as the term "Populeshion" is repeated several times along with the sounds "Turun" and "Gecha." The word "Populeshion" could be interpreted as population, or it could be a word coined by the artist. It could be a reference to the collective or the masses. The word "Gecha" is also unclear in meaning, but it could be a reference to a type of music or a sound effect. Overall, the lyrics suggest a message of unity and cohesion through their repetitive nature and ambiguous word choice.
