I think some of you may be right in that it implies sex, but tha's not what the whole thing is about. The song is about giving into natural 'primal' instincts. Maybe its the kind of basic instincts humans developed before they were civilized and were just a bunch of neanderthal types. I think the main message Anders and Niklas are trying to get across is how monstrous and stupid humans are when they give in to their instincts of war and sex. First stanza is the detonation of his instincts. Fireworks i think are a metaphor for the insticts that are being detonated. Not certain about alchemy, maybe it refers to the chemistry of our genes, or maybe the fireworks. Genes means they are our natural instincts encoded in us. The X and Y chromosomes are split when sperm are made, so that's what spliced means, then they are triggered in her organic cave or vagina. The genes are also passed on to the child, and will be triggered in the future. Seismorgasmic omnipotence: Seismo-earthquakes, orgasmic-pleasureful, omnipotence-power. His power is really orgasmic, or as pleasureful as earthquakes. Scenes of magma describes how chaotic he feels, and relates to eruptions, and basically takes over his body system. The chorus relates to the theme and what I said at the beginning: Animal instincts that blocks the daylight, or any logic or sense. He is morphing into his animal side. I'll cover every particle from there to Andromeda means he's going wild and is going to destroy everything everywhere, and not going to forget a single location. From the throat of Ibis to the co-ordinate of Matterhorn are just fancy words that further describe how he's going everywhere. My shot either means his weapon like he's shooting something, or it's a shot like the injection. I think it is the latter because that would explain Penetratonaut. The shot is penetrating him. Anyway, its a shot of genesis or the beginning of something, and catharsis or the release of his repressed instincts. Genesis is the beginning or cosmology of lust, lust for power. I think this another spot where sexual urges are implied, because of penetrate and lust. The subterrenean creature is another metaphor for the instincts, but I dont know why they would be proudly shown to heaven. Maybe he is proud to have it sucked out of him finally. With one slight wave of his hand describes how quickly his stars dissolve. Stars mean intelligence and basically the good parts of the human mind, just as they were used in the hive "to disarm the stars within us." His brain (intelligence, logic, sense) is dissolved. His lungs are blocked, he is slowly dying from the animal inside. The final line, "when locked in such a perfected now", I think is the moral, or why the animal inside has been triggered. I think that he's trying to say that when people live in a utopia where there are no wars, the animal inside is repressed and dies to be let free. My theory on how this fits into the overall Whoracle story, is that not only are the cyborgs destroying the humans (Jester Script Transfigured), but also other humans that have gone wild in an anarchy, as will be described in Worlds Withing the Margin.
