Spiritual Metamorphosis
Sirius Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Innate strength
Mind and soul drift away
From a bygone marked in futile artefacts
On an inset path of blinding light...

...Existence
We set the inheritance of new death.
Outrageously we devour the elements
And drink from the spiral essence

"None are innocent.
There are only those weak enough to believe they are.
And those strong enough to revel in the
Knowledge that they are not."
[...Jacob Strauss, Magus of the Shining Hill, London 1940]

Like black holes of enchantment...
We sombrely glitter yet consume cosmic energy
'Til you experience inorganic distress

Life as you know it has come to an end

Devoid of human flesh and blood,
The Stars are the sparkle of our eyes,
Streams of nothingness our veins, and pain...
The work of our hands.





Defy the limits of perception
Destroy the Earthly.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sirius's song "Spiritual Metamorphosis" are a poetic description of a transformation into a non-human, cosmic being. The lyrics start with the picture of innate strength that is present in every human being, but as the song progresses, it becomes clear that this strength is only temporary. The mind and soul are bound to drift away from the material world, marked in futile artifacts and onto a path of blinding light. This material world is described as an inheritance of new death, and human beings are portrayed as outrageously devouring the elements and drinking from the spiral essence. The message conveyed here is that life as we know it is limited, and there is a higher state of existence beyond it.


Sirius presents the human transformation into cosmic beings as something majestic yet terrifying. The stars are the sparkle of our eyes, streams of nothingness our veins, and the pain, the work of our hands. The line "Like black holes of enchantment" perfectly captures the essence of the song, portraying the cosmic transformation as an enchantment that draws you in and consumes you. Once transformed, life on this Earthly plane becomes irrelevant as human flesh and blood are shed to become something far greater.


In conclusion, "Spiritual Metamorphosis" is a poetic and mesmerizing song that evokes feelings of both wonder and terror. It portrays the human journey towards a higher state of existence beyond the material world, stripping away flesh and blood to become cosmic beings that defy the limits of perception.
