Orchestrate the Infinite
Scar Symmetry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through my will
Solar systems live and die
Omnipotence in a world of limits
Omniscient, stars will fall
On my command
Find ways to label me
Godhood or devilry
Collision as a spark of me entered flesh
Still I keep the ability to form
Until the day I leave my cage
I design this world in my image
What I create I can destroy
Stars fall on my command
Tomorrow's in my hand
I'm the grand orchestrator
In finite form and the infinite design
Beyond wings and horns I am
In wordless thought
Orchestrate the infinite
With focus on the things
Certain to face death
My essence will elude you 'til you die
Omnipotence has no beginning
Omniscience has no end
It can't be grasped
But those who live within this world
Find ways to label me
Godhood or devilry
I'm the grand orchestrator
In finite form and the infinite design
Beyond wings and horns I am
In wordless thought
Orchestrate the infinite [Repeat: x2]
Orchestrate the infinite
No horns and no crown of thorns
Will fit on me
On a field where the judgment
And all the pain you feel
Can no longer reach you
In the silence existing
Between your every thoughts
This is where I'll meet you
But those who live within this world
Find ways to label me
Godhood or devilry
I'm the grand orchestrator
In finite form and the infinite design
Beyond wings and horns I am
In wordless thought
Orchestrate the infinite [Repeat: x1]
Orchestrate the infinite
No horns and no crown of thorns
Will fit on me
Scar Symmetry's song "Orchestrate the Infinite" seems to showcase a powerful being who can manipulate the universe at will. The lyrics are written from the perspective of a being who can control whole solar systems and can make stars fall from the sky with a mere thought. The individual declares themselves as omnipotent, and states that they have the power to create something out of nothing and that they can destroy what they have made.
However, despite their god-like abilities, the being is misunderstood by others living within their universe, who see them as either a god or a demon. The individual acknowledges that they were once like those people, bound to a physical form but still able to shape the world around them.
The song speaks to the concept of being greater than the sum of your physical form and that true power lies within you, beyond traditional understandings of what it means to be a deity. In the end, the being declares that they exist beyond any label or conception that others try to place on them, as they are simply the grand orchestrator of the infinite.
