Theurgia Lyrics

The lyrics of Theurgia's song "Virtue" delve into a variety of esoteric and introspective themes. The opening lines, "A resting moon, breaching omen, bloating cornea," evoke a sense of anticipation and foreboding. The image of a bloated cornea suggests an intense focus on witnessing significant events. This is followed by the line "Seeing the birth of open hearts," which implies witnessing the emergence of vulnerability and emotional openness in others.

The next lines, "Forcing dawn, float into multiverses," suggest a transcendence of the ordinary and a departure from the confines of reality. The phrase "Flagellant grace envenomed as symbol" presents a paradoxical image, combining the notion of self-inflicted suffering with a duality of grace and venom. The following line, "lurkers, down of eclipsed ego," implies that hidden forces or entities lurk in the depths of the unconscious mind, emerging in moments of ego dissolution.

The repetition of "eclipse the ego" reinforces the theme of transcending the ego and its limitations. The chorus, "Virtue is absentia. No dreads to ekstasis, autocognition of spirits," suggests that virtue, in its true essence, is lacking in the world. The absence of dread reveals a disconnection from the ecstatic experience and an inability to truly understand and know one's own spirit.

The final lines, "Anomalous fissures, above and below, foes sedation, will is disconnect of all, of peripheral dissections," present a vision of fragmentation and disintegration. The anomalous fissures imply a breakdown of unity and coherence, while the disconnections of will suggest a loss of agency and control. The overall message seems to be a reflection on the absence of virtue and a yearning for a deeper sense of connection and self-realization.
