Broad Daylight Misanthropy
Transcending Bizarre? Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Descarte:]
"Void, through kaleidoscope eyes
Reveals no earthly reflection
Shining Black, Shining white
In the Spheres of finite perception
Bounded by flesh in theory
Unleashed through great words of wisdom
Emptiness clings to logical rules

A Void that was born of reason"

"There is no Image, nor shape nor form
Just Tracts of flesh slumbering deeper and deeper
IN BROAD DAYLIGHT MISANTHROPY
Void is crowned the Victor"

"I doubt there was ever a temple
No force behind colours, no magic
Collective bliss, the absolute peace
In Broad daylight Deceit"

Hail the hollow BODY BELIEF!
Hail the fake Clever Design!"
Coiled the pitch black NOTHING
Blooms in the king's Misanthropy
... A Wounded wolf, the once gracious Descarte
A devoted servant of reason

Had now realised this world won't ever change
The Empire of Mind is Utopian

Overall Meaning

The lyrics explore the idea of void and emptiness in life. Descarte refers to the void that he sees through kaleidoscope eyes, which reveals no earthly reflection. The void is shining black and white in the spheres of finite perception, which refers to the limited way in which humans see the world. Descarte believes that the void is unleashed by great words of wisdom, but it still clings to logical rules. The void was born of reason, which means that it is a product of human intellect and thought.

Descarte believes that there is no image, shape or form in the void. Instead, there are just tracts of flesh slumbering deeper and deeper in broad daylight misanthropy. This means that people are not truly alive, but are just going through the motions. The void is crowned the victor in this world, which means that it has taken over and there is no going back.

The lyrics also explore the idea of deception and the absence of magic in the world. Descarte believes that there was never a temple or force behind colors. The collective bliss and absolute peace that people strive for is just deceit in broad daylight. The lyrics end with Descarte acknowledging that he was once a devoted servant of reason, but he now realizes that the empire of mind is utopian and that the world will never change.
