Thokk
Pensées Nocturnes Lyrics

The lyrics to "Thokk" by Pensées Nocturnes describe a funeral parade where the mourners are playing mournful instruments, covering the one-eyed mourners with tears. The cords of the instruments creak and whine to add to the somber mood. However, the festivities are set to begin, and the dance is open to the most crippled person present. In the dark, dense set of the décor, shadows dance with instruments. It seems that there are indulgence and vice at the funeral because piety rhymes with disdain here. The drunkenness discloses decayed teeth, embitters tongues, and cause forlorn orgies. The ballet dance forms the basis of mourning, and even the drunks hold their eyes dear. What can be heard is the twisting of the crowd, and the graves seem better decorated than the beds of the dead.

The lyrics signify the weird beauty in the loss and how people seek to cope with their mourning in different styles. The words "Thokk" describe someone's despair in Norse mythology, lamenting the loss of a loved one, which relates to the singing of Vikings after a loss of warriors. The music is composed of instruments that embody despair, surprise, and awe that portray the funeral scene's melancholy tone. The cadenced pace recalls the march, which goes with the idea of a funeral parade. The song is quite poetic, as it uses alliterations and metaphors to describe the sorrowful life of the characters.
