Although originally associated with the funeral doom scene, the band has developed a more complex sound in their later work, incorporating elements from progressive and classic rock alongside the original influences from doom metal, classical and ethnic music. Typical for their sound is the creation of a solemn, mystical atmosphere, to which elements such as atmospheric keyboards, acoustic instruments and semi chanted vocals strongly contribute.

Gluttony
Pantheist Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm hungry for life
For pleasures to come, years to fly
Still more and more and more
I'm thirsty for loneliness
The key to my happiness
When I dive into my own world
I'm the whole universe

The solitary life I adore
It boasts my confidence
Laying at the shores of solitude
I'm the world itself

But if I'm the world
And the world is God
Where shall I find my creator?
If He made me so hungry for power over the world
Then who shall teach me to be humble?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Gluttony" by Pantheist reflect a search for meaning and purpose in life. The first verse expresses a desire for more experiences and pleasures, indicating a hunger for life. However, the second verse shows a conflict between this desire and a thirst for loneliness, which is seen as the key to personal happiness. The paradoxical nature of these two desires reveals a search for balance and fulfillment that is difficult to achieve. The idea of being the whole universe suggests a desire for unity and connection with the world, while also acknowledging the isolation and solitude that comes with being an individual. The final verse poses a question about finding one's creator, and suggests that the hunger for power and control over the world might be at odds with the need for humility and spiritual growth.

Overall, the lyrics speak to a search for meaning and purpose in a world that can be both beautiful and harsh, and for a sense of balance between conflicting desires and needs.
