Törr Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Černá a bílá
Svíčka v rohu místnosti už září
Třináct stínů
Znamení setby se v stínech do zdi vráží

Ref.:
Ďáblův dech, cítěj teď
Ďáblův dech, cítěj teď

Čas zůstal stát
Sugesce je větší během transu.
Rozum se kalí
Jejich duše ztrácejí svou cestu

Ref.:
Ďáblův dech, cítěj teď
Ďáblův dech, cítěj teď

Devět hlav se před půlnocí schází,
Spojení se od rána už chystá,
Posvátný nůž do černé knihy vráží,
Rudej samet zakryje ta místa.

Čas zůstal stát
Tvář oběti se mění během transu,

Stíny se dvojí,
Jejich duše nachází svou cestu.

Overall Meaning

The song Ďáblův dech by Törr is a dark and eerie exploration of the occult and demonic possession. The lyrics start by describing a room where a black and white candle is lit, casting thirteen shadows on the walls. This scene sets the tone for the rest of the song as the singer implores the listener to feel the devil's breath, suggesting that a ritual or summoning is taking place.

The second verse references time standing still and the power of suggestion being greater during a trance, implying that those participating in the ritual are losing their sense of reality. The chorus repeats the phrase "Ďáblův dech, cítěj teď" which translates to "feel the devil's breath now" in English, reinforcing the idea of a demonic presence.

The final verse describes nine heads coming together and preparing for a connection, perhaps implying that a group of individuals are collaborating to summon or invoke a demon. The use of a sacred knife and a black book further augments this theory. The final lines suggest that during the trance, the victim's face changes and the shadows double, indicating a transformation or possession by the demon.

Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a disturbing and sinister ceremony, with a focus on the unseen, malevolent forces at work.
