Shiver
Vianova Lyrics

In the first verse, the lyrics depict a person's confrontation with violence. The singer acknowledges that violence is present and stares back at them, almost seducing them with its tempting and numbing allure. It expresses a desire to see the world purged and destroyed by fire and flames, fueled by fury and hate. The singer proclaims that they would rather perpetuate chaos than suffer silently, implying a preference for disruption and unrest over complacency.

The second verse introduces a dream, a vision of becoming a king of dirt ruling over an empire of ashes. This dream is legitimized by the symbol of "skull and bones," suggesting a connection to death and decay. The lyrics encourage reaching for a higher perspective, striving for "god's eye" and a third sight, indicating a desire for greater understanding and insight.

The following lines shift the focus from the grand vision to a more introspective viewpoint. It suggests that the singer's sight is blurred, making it difficult to see clearly. They are urged to look at their own feet and finally gain a clearer understanding. The grim imagery of exposed bones and unmarked graves symbolizes the disregard for humanity and the absence of peace.

The chorus repeats the sentiment of reaching for "god's eye" and the third sight, emphasizing the importance of gaining a deeper understanding. It suggests that this sight is all that is needed to perceive the truth and the underlying reasons behind violence.

The final section of the lyrics introduces a different language, Bengali, with the phrase "নিথর, শিরায় শিরায় তরল সন্ত্রাস, এ কোন এাস?" which translates to "Innocent, quietly, liquid terror, where did it come from?" This phrase adds a layer of introspection and questioning to the lyrics, reflecting on the origins and nature of violence. The lyrics then conclude with a repetition of the dream of becoming a king of dirt, atop an empire, indicating an ongoing fascination with power and control, even in the context of destruction.
