Oranssi Pazuzu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ja sen vastakohta
Jonka reuna aukeaa kuiluna
Aseta kätesi osaksi liekkiä
On kallo
Ajatusten seinä
On värejä
Rajat imeytyneet suoniimme
Rakkaamme, jotka katosivat savuun
Eivät ulvo kirkkaita tuulia
He ihastuivat liekkeihin
Nyt heidän sisällään polttaa yö
Tulessa sekoittuvat lauseet
Uhrit
Lauseet
The lyrics to Oranssi Pazuzu's song Hypnotisoitu Viharukous are quite abstract and open to multiple interpretations. The opening lines, "On vain yksi sääntö / Ja sen vastakohta / Jonka reuna aukeaa kuiluna" can be translated to "There is only one rule / And its opposite / Whose edge opens up as a chasm". This could possibly refer to the duality or binary nature of existence, where opposites exist as two sides of the same coin, or two extremes of a spectrum. It could also imply that there is always a balance that needs to be maintained, and that straying too far from that balance could lead to chaos and destruction.
The next lines, "Aseta kätesi osaksi liekkiä / On kallo / Ajatusten seinä / On värejä / Vain värejä vasten" can be translated to "Place your hand in the flames / There is a skull / A wall of thoughts / There are colors / Only against colors". These lines could be interpreted as a metaphor for self-discovery or enlightenment, where one must face their fears and dive into the unknown (the flames), and confront the skeletons in their closet (the skull). The "wall of thoughts" could represent the barriers we put up in our mind that prevent us from seeing the truth, and the "colors against colors" could be a metaphor for the different facets of our identity that we must embrace.
The rest of the lyrics are equally cryptic, and touch upon themes of sacrifice, oblivion, and metamorphosis. Overall, the song seems to be a journey towards self-discovery, where the singer must confront their fears, shed their old skin, and emerge transformed.
