Lethargica Lyrics

Lyric discussion by captaineothan 

Cover art for Lethargica lyrics by Meshuggah

to me, this song is talking about the first word of the song, "void". It's about pure, empty, maddening nothingness. This sounds abstract, but again meshuggah is an abstract band. I think it could also be about "disfunction" in humans, evil, malice, and destruction in a broad sense. This is why it has "been perfected through aeons" because it is the darkness in human nature. It is very Eastern in its philosophy, and this cd Obzen is Eastern: the yin and yang, good and evil are permeated throughout the cd

My Interpretation
