Isomorph
Seventh Seal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A portion burning forever
The others finding a way
Only to be secure in our existence
Only to be the way it is
Organized chaos performing existence
A mere collection of actors plots constantly
Changing in turn
Fear spawns disbelief
Credibility founded on science
If they only knew what they thought
They knew the last star would burn out
The lyrics to Seventh Seal's song "Isomorph" are thought-provoking and intriguing. Beginning with "Several million faces watch them spin", the lyrics allude to the vastness of the universe and how everything in it is constantly in motion. The mention of "a portion burning forever" could be referring to stars that are still burning despite the passage of time, while "the others finding a way" refers to the various planets and stellar bodies that have found their place in existence. The lyrics then speak of our need to be secure in our existence and the fact that things are the way they are.
As the song progresses, it speaks of organized chaos and how everything in existence is a mere collection of actors playing out their various roles. The lyrics suggest that these roles constantly change and morph into something new. The mention of fear spawning disbelief could be in reference to our fear of the unknown and how it can lead to a lack of understanding or acceptance of new things. The lyrics then speak of the importance of science in founding credibility and how those who truly understand it know that the last star will eventually burn out, thus signifying the end of all existence.
