Violated
Pathos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Embrace the god of solar fire
Fill your veins with devotion
Free your mind, proffer your soul...

Skeleton dance with warlord messiah
Putrefied and perished by sin after sin
Malevolent creations, feast on your bones...
Soul, contemplating your
Soul, proffer your
Soul, repulsive
Forms, possessions control...

Proffer your soul
Feast on your bones...

Ceremonial offerings in seventh heaven




Fill your veins with celestial devotion
Embrace the god of solar fire...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Pathos's song "Violated" seem to be heavily steeped in religious and mythological imagery and language. The first two lines urge the listener to embrace the "god of solar fire" and fill their veins with devotion. This has echoes of ancient sun-worshipping practices and suggests a seeking of spiritual enlightenment or ecstasy.


However, the rest of the lyrics take a dark turn. The image of a "warlord messiah" implies a figure of great power and violence, who is associated with a "skeleton dance" and the destruction of the listener in a series of "sins." The use of words like "putrefied" and "malevolent" suggest a sense of decay and maleficence, something that is not only physical but spiritual as well.


The repeated reference to the "soul" is also significant, as it is presented as something to be proffered or offered up willingly, yet it also seems to be at risk of possession or corruption by outside forces. The final line, "Ceremonial offerings in seventh heaven," brings together elements of various spiritual traditions and suggests that this is a song about the dangers of seeking transcendence or spiritual power without being aware of the consequences.
