The rehearsal "The Mask of Dead Innocence", disclosed in 1996, was the first record and it was composed of some studio recordings and other live recordings. Soon the band gained notoriety in Rio de Janeiro’s underground, going through a great period of gigs.
In 2000, the EP "Lonely Seas of a Dreamer” was released. Composed of 5 songs that marked the transition to a more atmospheric and symphonic sound style. The critics were extremely positive on the part of the specialized media and public.
Despite all its success, Quintessente interrupted its activities for some years until 2015, when the band retook the songwriting process, intending to release a full-length album, which was recorded between October 2016 and March 2017, entitled "Songs From Celestial Spheres”.
This new work gathers 10 compositions where the sonority embraces the most varied styles within Heavy Metal just like the stars with its different chemical structures, age, mass, luminosity and magnitude. The concept of Songs From Celestial Spheres is based on the relationship between man and sky. Over time, the observation of the sky brought the knowledge of the evolutionary dynamics and created correlations of human organizations and analogy of history and beliefs with the cosmic phenomena.
Delirium
Quintessente Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We still feel this cold in our bones
Conscious to unconscious
Devouring yesterday
From grace to disgrace
And it heals away
Bring me to the colors of the day to lie
I turn myself into delirium
Delirium!
We heard the same song of loneliness
So all wisdom gives way to insanity
Gather my remains and heal the wounds
Delirium… Delirium!
Bring me to the colors of the day to lie
From ashes and dust will come our growth
I turn myself into delirium
Delirium!
I am the last proof of madness
Where do we leave the reality?
Freedom of the thought is drifting
I can't purify myself for my behavior
Bring me to the colors of the day to lie
From ashes and dust will come our growth
I turn myself into delirium
Delirium!
I am the last proof of madness
I am the last proof of despair
The song "Delirium" by Quintessente is about the struggle between consciousness and unconsciousness, and the journey from grace to disgrace. The lyrics represent the coldness and loneliness within the human soul, and the resulting insanity that can arise from the search for freedom of thought. The singer of the song acknowledges that they are the last proof of madness and despair, but also recognizes the transformative power of pain and suffering, and the need to embrace one's delirium in order to grow.
The opening lyrics, "We heard the same whisper in our souls / We still feel this cold in our bones," set the melancholic tone of the song, which is characterized by powerful and mournful vocals, heavy guitar riffs and a driving rhythm. The repetition of the phrase "from grace to disgrace" suggests a descent into darkness, while the lines "I turn myself into delirium / Delirium!" evoke a sense of surrender and a desire for escape from the pain of the present moment.
While the lyrics are dark, the overall message of the song is one of hope and renewal. The lines "From ashes and dust will come our growth" suggest that even destruction can lead to rebirth, and that pain and suffering can be transformative. The singer's acknowledgement that they are "the last proof of madness" underscores the universal nature of their struggle, and the importance of embracing one's delirium in order to find a way forward.
Line by Line Meaning
We heard the same whisper in our souls
We both heard a voice speaking to us from within
We still feel this cold in our bones
We are left with a feeling of emptiness that goes deep into our very being
Conscious to unconscious
Our awareness fades into oblivion
Devouring yesterday
We are consumed by memories of our past
From grace to disgrace
We have fallen from a lofty position to one of shame
And it heals away
Our wounds gradually fade away over time
Bring me to the colors of the day to lie
Take me to a place of happiness where I can forget my problems
From ashes and dust will come our growth
Out of destruction and despair, we will rise stronger
I turn myself into delirium
I am losing my mind and surrendering to madness
Delirium!
Madness takes over completely
We heard the same song of loneliness
We both feel the pain of isolation and solitude
So all wisdom gives way to insanity
Our rational thoughts are replaced by insanity
Gather my remains and heal the wounds
Collect the broken pieces of my life and help me to heal
I am the last proof of madness
I am evidence that madness exists and can consume a person
Where do we leave the reality?
Where does reality end and madness begin?
Freedom of the thought is drifting
Our ability to think freely is slipping away
I can't purify myself for my behavior
I cannot forgive myself for the things I have done
I am the last proof of despair
I am living proof that there is no hope left
