At the age of 17 he released his first EP with his band Crypt of Kerberos, and in 1993 a full length was released. Arcana was founded back in 1994, when Peter wanted to make a different kind of music than the death metal he was used to. Since then 7 full length albums have been released and Arcana is growing for each that passes. In 2007 Peter founded Tyrant, an old school black metal band in the vein of Bathory and Celtic Frost. Tyrant is known as a band with a ”dirty, filthy and raw” sound. They have played as a supporting act to Gorgoroth in 2007. His fourth band is Meanwhile, a punkband in the veins of Discharge. They have been playing for over 17 years and are still ”going strong”.

In Useless Retrospective
Peter Bjärgö Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Remember on the day
when earth caves in,
that we showed you the way,
but you just laughed.

Remember on the day
when the fires burns you skin,
that we wanted for things to change,

but you didn't listen.

Remember on the day

your child is torn from your hands by the wind,
remember that nature don't care.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Peter Bjärgö's "In Useless Retrospective" are incredibly powerful and invoke a sense of urgency and despair. The first stanza talks about the day when the earth caves in, which can be interpreted as the end of the world. The singer reminds the listener that they had shown them the way to prevent this, but they just laughed. This can imply that the world could have been saved if people had taken environmental issues more seriously, instead of ignoring them.

The second stanza talks about fires burning the skin, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for the consequences of human actions resulting in natural disasters. The singer then reminds the listener that they had wanted things to change, but they didn't listen. This could imply that people didn't pay enough attention to environmental problems until it was too late.

The final stanza talks about a child being torn from the hands by the wind, reminding the listener that nature doesn't care about humans. It can be interpreted as a reminder that nature is powerful and can be unpredictable, and that humans need to take care of the environment to protect themselves and future generations.

Overall, the song is a plea for people to take environmental issues seriously before it's too late.

Line by Line Meaning

Remember on the day when earth caves in, that we showed you the way, but you just laughed.
Recall that fateful day when the world collapses, reminding you that we warned you of this outcome, but you paid us no heed and ridiculed our concerns.

Remember on the day when the fires burns you skin, that we wanted for things to change, but you didn't listen.
On the day you feel the scorching flames burning your skin, remember our desire for progress, but our calls for action fell on deaf ears.

Remember on the day your child is torn from your hands by the wind, remember that nature don't care.
Should the day come when your child is wrenched from your grasp by roaring winds, recollect the apathetic nature of the natural world towards human suffering.
