Thorns Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am dematerialization of the self
I am the axis in the wheel of reincarnation
The endless singularity
I turn the spirals of existence
I am the slowing pace of life
I am the pulse of creation,
I balance the shifting tides of life
Everything must return to me
I am the beginning
And I am the end
The lyrics of Thorns's song Vortex speak of a powerful force that governs the world and all its manifestations. The opening line "My eye is the vortex from which nothing escapes" symbolizes the all-encompassing nature of this force that has the power to draw and contain everything in its grip. The line "I am dematerialization of the self" suggests how this force transcends material existence and operates at a level beyond physicality.
Further, the song speaks of the force's role in the wheel of reincarnation as the axis that governs the cycles of birth, death, and rebirth. The references to slowing down the pace of life and being the pulse of creation and destruction allude to the immense power this force holds over the forces of nature, including life and death. The line "I balance the shifting tides of life" further emphasizes the idea of this force as a powerful equalizer that brings balance to the chaotic modes of life.
Finally, the song concludes with the lines "I am the beginning and I am the end." This suggests that this force is omnipresent and eternal, existing both before and after time itself. The lyrics of Vortex are a poetic take on the idea of a supreme force that governs life and death and brings a sense of order to the ever-changing nature of the world.
