The Acid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
God is Sun
Pull me under
Foam is pouring out
Hidden one
I just wonder
All my blood love is faint
I'm falling
Through my head, through my veins
God is sun
On his face I'm falling
I'm falling
God is Sun
Come Shiva Sun
Shock the blood
Shock the Veda
Home I'm overcome
Flesh and blood
Shock the Veda
All my blood love is faint
I'm falling
I'm falling
Through my head, through my veins
God is sun
On his face I'm falling
I'm falling
God is Sun
The lyrics to The Acid's track "Veda" synthesize themes of divinity, nature, and darkness. The first lines of the song, "Come, I'll melt you down / God is sun," introduce a mysterious and alluring force that is both powerful and dangerous. The singer of the song is drawn towards this force, metaphorically represented as the "Sun," and is willing to be "pulled under" by it. The second stanza, "Foam is pouring out / Hidden one / I just wonder," adds to the surreal imagery of the track, evoking a feeling of intoxication and hallucination.
The chorus of the song, "All my blood love is faint / I'm falling / I'm falling / Through my head, through my veins / God is sun / On his face I'm falling / I'm falling / God is Sun," highlights the singer's surrender to the power and mystery of the "Sun." The lines "Shock the blood / Shock the Veda" suggest a ritualistic or sacrificial element to this surrender, further emphasizing the intensity of this experience. The final lines of the song, "Home I'm overcome / Flesh and blood / Shock the Veda," bring the song full circle, suggesting that the singer has found a new sense of belonging and purpose in this transformative experience.
Overall, "Veda" is a deeply poetic and hypnotic song that pulls the listener into a world of mysticism and darkness. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the singer's surrender to the mysterious and powerful "Sun," and the song leaves the listener with a sense of awe and wonder at the profundity of this experience.
