Devolution
Virocracy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dreary woodlands left without a trace
Vibrant scene of a once green space
Dead tree trunks witness ancient decay
Boughs hang down from their lifeless shoulders
All human horrors climbing out their
GravesFainted human memories
Erase
Timeless space
Carcass of a world once cold to me
Blackest skies and void’s the sea
Caving deep all escapees
Dead long before all ancient
Trees
Ache
Tainted humankind
Deceased
Into devolution
Defective – Infected – Devolved minds
Conception – Interception – Deluded – Blind
Transforming – Deforming – Reptoid brutes
Irradiation – New creation – Non-human kind
Catatonic giant creatures
Emerged from human stain
Scaly skin, a crust of ichor
Devoid of reason, mind of disdain
Feasting on each other’s spawn
Crawling through the acrid fumesCondemned life on these hostile grounds
Desperate screeches piercing through the
Gloom
Tainted humankind
Entombed
Into devolution
Human’s festering scar
A planet infected
Life forms of damnation
The abyss resurrected
Arise!
Grotesque earthlings of pernicious mind
Distorted visions of accursed crimes
All systems forced to resign
To the obscure void in their eyes
Creeptures laid to rest forever
Bedded on disaster’s shrine
Arise!
Grotesque earthlings of pernicious mind
Deformed prisoners of the afterlife
The song "Devolution" by Virocracy paints a dystopian picture of a world in decay and regression. The opening lyrics describe a rotting forest, once vibrant and green, now reduced to dead tree trunks and lifeless scenery. This imagery represents the degradation of nature and the loss of the beauty and life that once existed. The mention of "human horrors climbing out their graves" suggests that the destruction of the environment is a result of human actions.
The next stanza amplifies the theme of decay by referring to the "carcass of a world" that was once cold to the singer. The skies are described as black and the sea as void, emphasizing the desolation of the world. The use of the word "devolved" suggests a regression into a primitive state, where humanity has lost its way and is deteriorating. The reference to "dead long before all ancient trees" implies a lack of hope for revival and a sense of futility.
The following section introduces the concept of "defective-infected-devolved minds," depicting a society where the collective consciousness has been corrupted and distorted. The use of terms like "conception-interception-deluded-blind" conveys the idea that there is a warped perception of reality and a lack of clarity or understanding. The mention of "reptoid brutes" and "non-human kind" suggests a transformation into monstrous creatures lacking humanity and reason.
The final stanza describes the emergence of these grotesque creatures, born from the "human stain" and devoid of reason or empathy. They engage in cannibalistic behavior, feasting on each other's spawn, and roam the landscape in despair. The lyrics suggest that the world has become a hostile and unforgiving place, where desperate screeches pierce the gloom. The repetition of "tainted humankind" and the phrase "into devolution" reinforce the idea of regression and the irreversible decline of humanity.
In the closing lines, the song calls for the distorted and pernicious minds of these "grotesque earthlings" to arise. They are portrayed as prisoners of the afterlife, suggesting that their existence is a form of punishment. The lyrics speak of distorted visions and cursed crimes, implying that their actions have led to their own downfall. The idea of "all systems forced to resign" suggests the collapse of societal structures and the triumph of chaos and darkness.
Overall, "Devolution" explores themes of environmental destruction, societal regression, and the consequences of a distorted and corrupted mindset. The lyrics paint a bleak picture of a world on the brink of collapse, where humanity has lost its humanity and descended into a state of devolution.

Nestled on the altar of catastrophe
Arise!

Grotesque earthlings of pernicious mind
Hideous humans with evil intentions
Deformed prisoners of the afterlife
Distorted captives of the world beyond death
