Karma in Mortem
Subliminal Code Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I will burn
I will become
Dust and ashes
Never was anything
L ever knew
And so it will be vomited
Vomited the things
I wanted to today
I Will not be
A different day

Is time to burn
Is time to burn
Is time to burn
Is time to burn
Is time to burn
Is time to burn
I will become
Dust and ashes




Never was anything
Is time to burn

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Subliminal Code's song Karma in Mortem present a dark and introspective reflection on mortality and the legacy we leave behind. The first stanza describes a feeling of insignificance and impermanence, as the singer resigns themselves to becoming dust and ashes, devoid of any knowledge or identity beyond that fleeting existence. The second stanza repeats the phrase "Is time to burn" as a sort of mantra, emphasizing the inevitability and urgency of this process of transformation and destruction. The conclusion reinforces the theme of transience and futility, as the singer declares that they "never was anything" and accepts the finality of their fate.


On a deeper level, the lyrics suggest a sense of release and liberation in the face of mortality, as the singer lets go of all material concerns and embraces the transformative power of death. Rather than fearing or resisting this process, they seem to welcome it as a means of shedding their mortal constraints and transcending into a state of pure energy and spirit. The repetition of the phrase "Is time to burn" could also be interpreted as a call to action, urging listeners to embrace change and transformation in all aspects of their lives, rather than clinging to outdated and limiting beliefs or habits.
