Demiurge
Meshuggah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Writing and embraced
Retribution. Soul eclipse turns solid
Energized. Sucking vomit acting like its honey
Deprived of I
Falling while thrusting squares through circles
Serving one single new dimension

Terror rising. Agnostics nemesis. A prophet of extinction

I scorch the skies before your very eyes
My deliverance - enslavement labelled: love





Just trust this nemesis to sign and seal extinction

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Demiurge by Meshuggah assert the theme of retribution and punishment. The first few lines symbolize the creation process. “Writing and embraced. Retribution” mean that creation of something new always comes after the destruction of something else. The next line “Soul eclipse turns solid" suggests that the artist is embracing his inner darkness and negative energy to form something solid as the lyrics move on to the next verse.


The line “Energized. Sucking vomit acting like its honey. Deprived of I” suggests that the artist has been a victim to negative energy and feeding on it as it seems like a source of nourishment. However, the last line – “Deprived of I" – indicates that the artist knows he is not gaining anything from it but rather becoming more and more deprived, which leads to the next line “Falling while thrusting squares through circles. Serving one single new dimension” representing the artist’s complete disregard to the logic and order of dimensions and the world around him, in pursuit of his own vision.


The next verse, “Terror rising. Agnostic’s nemesis. A prophet of extinction. I scorch the skies before your very eyes. My deliverance – enslavement labelled: love. Just trust this nemesis to sign and seal extinction,” further highlights the theme of destruction and retribution as the artist embraces his inner darkness and seeks to burn everything down.
