Timeless
Ravenous Lyrics

The lyrics of Ravenous's song Timeless reflect a sense of paradoxical imagery designed to elicit a feeling of otherworldliness. The artist uses contrasting and vivid imagery of the universe to evoke this feeling, beginning with "Glowing planets" and "a star explodes," which create a sense of chaos and violence. This contrasts with "burning fire on melting ice," where cold and hot mix in a way that would seem impossible. The singer then goes on to describe "a rising sun [that] fades out slowly" and "cold lights in the deep dark sea," which present images of lightness and darkness existing together. The artist presents another paradoxical image of "a solid ground without a surface," which presents a sense of emptiness or nothingness beneath the ground.

The song also plays with the idea of timelessness and the impossibility of measuring time, demonstrated by the lyrics about "a crystal stone without a shape." This image highlights the concept of something that theoretically should have a defined shape and structure, but instead is somehow shapeless or formless. The song also continues with this sense of impossibility with "a ball with an edge," which is a physical impossibility in three-dimensional space. Finally, the artist finishes with "high and low tones smell like dust," where the sense of smell is used in an unusual metaphor to create an otherworldly feeling of timelessness.
