Anomaly
Sceptic Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time and space were always immutable
These creations are barely detectable
Therefore this unique balance must be remained
In order to the totality could be still maintained

Over us - eternal threatening
Living constantly intimidating
Examining this disturbance

Without chance to exert any influence

Anomalies rule our worthless world perpetually
Become for all living creatures so commonly
Passing the test of taking control over these actions
Being uncertain if it won't drive us into destruction

Observing the appearance of spatial distortion
Attempting to modify kept natural proportions
At the end of cosmos unleashed from its shrine
Throughout the galaxy's coming ever lasting sign

Beyond the distant, unreachable, darkest locations of cosmos
Place where imagination and mind, time and space are mixed
Spacecrafts incapable to get so far, to the end of the universe
Where immense gravity loads are just a very beginning of the worse

Where you have to face and survive your inner weaknesses

Overall Meaning

The song suggests that this balance must remain in order for the totality of the universe to continue existing. However, the world is constantly threatened by anomalies that disturb the balance and intimidate all living creatures. These anomalies become a common part of life, and while we pass the test of taking control over these actions, we are uncertain if they won't eventually drive us into destruction.

The cosmos are unleashed from their shrine at the end of the universe, and the galaxy is facing an ever-lasting sign. This sign suggests that something beyond the distant, unreachable, darkest locations of cosmos exist, where imagination and mind, time and space are mixed. Spacecrafts are incapable of reaching this point of the universe, where immense gravity loads are just the beginning of what one must face and survive their inner weaknesses.

Overall, the lyrics of "Anomaly" are a contemplation of the delicate balance of the universe and the threats that may cause it to fall out of this balance. It also delves into the unknown depths of the universe, where imagination and mind, time and space collide, leaving one to face their inner weaknesses.
