| Therion – Darkness Eve Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
This is a very very weird and cryptic lyric, according to my understanding. I've traveled over all the internet searching for an alternative analysis trying to find a similar interpretation like mine. These are my thoughts about it: This album was released in 1995, and recorded in 1994. This song was not seen before in another released work of Therion. Johnsson told around an enemy, who was sacrificed ( assassinated ) , it seemed, by secret dark forces which were involved through him. A kind of revenge sorcery. This enemy had an empire ( a small empire ) which was failed like a collapse of a house of cards. Details around the killing are more interesting, for the eyes of a good observer. The enemy died under blood red, under a tragic fate, he screamed out in pain ( and it was in vain ), he was enslaved with his own knife, this person died by a knife, his pride was ridiculed, his friends cried, and then he was forgotten. Who is this enemy ? victim of a bloody killing ? It seems apparently the crime was "unresolved", maybe a metaphorical person, entity, soul or demon... but this is very suspective. Two details in the song seem to clear the mistery: "look out number two what will be done to you", and most clear unambiguous sentence "The tenth he made the kill".... Christofer Johnsson was clearly talking about the events around the norwegian inner circle, the killing of Euronymous ( Øystein Aarseth ) by Greven Grishnackh ( Varg Vikernes ), events that happened the last year before this song was composed. So, with irony, Johnsson recognized has been concerned about this inner circle and their actions, everyone can remember the girl who nailed a death-threat on his parents house, on behalf of the norwegian inner circle. The norwegian inner circle, has posted in many publications the hatred and contempt for Johnsson's "death metal music" and certainly he was on the target of this critics. Strangely Johnsson moved from raw old school death metal to symphonic black metal, and joined Dragon Rouge during that time. It seems that he began to praise occult beings and gods ( Lilith, Baal, Baphomet ) as a daily practice, and his dear enemies ( norwegian inner circle ) were reminded in his prayings... I think this song is very revelatory of his deep thoughts and feelings... For him, it seems, all the mess around the killing was product of his sorcery invocations, and the events happened just he wanted it. Varg Vikernes was conducted by occultist forces beyond his comprehension and acted so brutally by the influece of a demon. Euronymous was humilliated in that way, as a result of rewarding rites made by Johnsson from long distance in Sweden. "I've gained, I love your pain.. He'll teach you not to play with hell, He'll show you what it's like..I bet you understand things better now, but it's too late to hide "... these phrases full of irony, are a kind of teaching, a teaching that Euronymous involved with the occult, and you can not play with satan, and may finished dead anyway. Also this reflects the scorn and maybe some envy that Johnsson had around him ( Euronymous ) I don't know if another listeners and fans of Therion could conclude the same things than me. For me this lyric is historical and symbolic but it has strong roots in the events in Norway. Finally it's very difficult to determine who is GORARA. Probably a demon, a qliphotic entity, a messenger of death. Gorara is not mentioned in any demonology book. May this name was an acronym of hidden secret agents involved in the killing ? within the norwegian and finish scene ? Abruptum and Impaled Nazarene mentioned similar names in their enochian cryptic messages on the forgotten demos. Who knows ? |

Tremendous and epic song. The lyrics are telling us about the eternal battle, the eternal struggle against the antagonist forces ( These forces may be ambiguous and certainly hidden under convenient masks) who are commanded by the Master Woe of Destiny. A powerful woe, perversed, ruthless, opressive, hypocrite, a big liar accompanied by charlatains, deceivers, and false prophets. However, the inner power, the honour, the pride and the strenght of the true ( viking ) warriors prevail against all this unworthy system full of hyprocrisy. Finally everyone is involved, The final war is declared and the bloodiest battle ever seen is ongoing against this tyranny and the Stablished Order. All the oppressed people, the sons and heritage of the Ancient Ones shall see at the of the journey the expected arrival of the Hammer God. The reward for the perseverance for those who didn't fallen into the weakness and the contrariness traps of the evil enemy. The glorious vision of the freedom and the victory after a lifetime beneath the darkness and lies, is presented as an epilogue of this Ragnarok episode. May be this story illustrates the war of the viking people to liberate the chains of christinanity. Definitely this is a song about Hope, and the reaching of realization through honour, wrath, battle and consciousness of heritage, and the right to be proud of bloodline worth. |

. Probably the meaning is related with the contemptuous judgement Pehr Ohlin did about a failed searching of aim or sense in life he knew... If the life is nothing... death would be the same... It reveals a deep nihilist view very inside his mind. |

"Burzum is ... light or darkness depending of how do you see..." All we remember that old zine interview.... Ok... I think, here is the same... Probably is an threat message for christianity... The followers of the light... are not ready yet for a new age of darkness... which it could be... near... on the next day... tomorrow with a little help of him... :-) Varg, also stand out, for the wonderful feeling of darkness, its essence... as he manifests in other parts in the Filosofem album... "We need the night as we need the day..." The darkness is powerful too. The impetuous almightiness of darkness is here acknowledged... as an entity absolutely superior to the light... deeper and severe... Modern world has forgotten all this... Modern world doesn't put any attention in the meaning of darkness... and try to avoid her... but society failed miserably. |

SNU MIKROKOSMOS TEGN... There is a great sense of inconformity in this song... Peace, a background of diplomacy filled with hipocrisy that underlines the passivity of those who are in the political correct way. Varg, confronts this attitude and express the problem... The one way for solution is turning to the left... the essence symbol of his personal fury... ( for me maybe a swastika mark ( the mikrokosmos, or his personal personification of this )... which turned left... you probably know in what it becomes... When in the last part, he stated " In the night I'll raise to the Hell ", he manifests his choice... for joining to the dark side of his own philosophy... It's an act of affirmation... Is his personal Statement... That's my view... my meaning for this song. |
