Helios
Sylvatica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is at its maximum
Coronal holes, it's out of control
Helios's fragmenting his soul
Geomagnetic storms
Solis deforms
Photons in motion, plasma explosion
Coronal mass ejection
Through the void from the netherrealm
Spirits silently race
Migrating to our terrestrial sphere
Conjuring the weather of space
Magnetosphere disrupts
The humans are fucked
Earth's field is open, particles approaching
The electrical grid has broken
Civilisation's gone
Our way of life was wrong
Relying on the system, forgetting old wisdom
Evolved unfit to survive
Unfit to survive
Confusion and panic materialize
Anarchy, violence and chaos arise
As years go by, tribalism will thrive
Only the strongest survive
Survive
SÓL
Through the void from the netherrealm
RA
Spirits silently race
SURYA
To our terrestrial sphere
Conjuring the weather of space
From the sun
We shall come
You beware
Solar flare
SÓL
Through the void from the netherrealm
RA
Spirits silently race
SURYA
To our terrestrial sphere
Conjuring the weather of space
The lyrics of Sylvatica's song Helios depict the catastrophic consequences of a solar storm on Earth. The song starts with a description of the cycle of the sun being at its maximum, which leads to the formation of coronal holes and Helios, the sun god in Greek mythology, fragmenting his soul. The result of this solar activity leads to geomagnetic storms and deformed Solis (the Latin word for sun), which causes photons to be in motion and plasma to explode, leading to a coronal mass ejection.
As the charged particles from the coronal mass ejection head towards Earth, they disrupt the magnetosphere, which results in the Earth's field being open to the approaching particles, causing the electrical grid to break down. With civilization gone and humanity relying too much on the system, panic, confusion, anarchy, violence, and chaos arise, with years going by as tribalism thrives. The lyrics end with a warning to beware of solar flares, as they can potentially lead to disastrous consequences.
