Ichthyic Ascension
PreEmptive Strike 0.1 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seek aquatic deep
Ichthyic ascension
Atavistic leap
Navigate the oceans
Water everywhere
Destiny is calling
The seekers of
This fish-like race
Disappeared
Without a trace
Praise
Tentacled ΜΙΑΣΜΑ
Pulsating ΠΛΑΣΜΑ
Praise
Tentacled ΜΙΑΣΜΑ
Grips the deck
Engulfs this broken wreck
Tentacled ΜΙΑΣΜΑ
Pulsating ΠΛΑΣΜΑ
Dagon
Ex tenebrous breed
Praise
God of the sea
Dagon
Ex human form
Praise
Aquatic filthy lord
The lyrics to "Ichthyic Ascension" by PreEmptive Strike 0.1 are a reference to a mythical, esoteric order seeking a deep, aquatic ascension through an atavistic leap. The song could be interpreted as a journey to reach a higher state of being through the exploration of the vast and mysterious oceans, where destiny is calling and there is no turning back. The seekers of this water-bound race, however, have disappeared without a trace, leaving only the tentacled ΜΙΑΣΜΑ and pulsating ΠΛΑΣΜΑ to be praised as they grip the deck and engulf a broken wreck.
The lyrics also make reference to Dagon, the god of the sea, who is praised as an aquatic, filthy lord with ex-human and tenebrous roots. The focus on tentacled ΜΙΑΣΜΑ and pulsating ΠΛΑΣΜΑ could be a nod to the Lovecraftian mythos, which often features these types of creatures.
