Ultra Vires
Unveiling Existential Layers: Raspberry Bulbs' 'Ultra Vires'
Lyrics
Meaningless!
Expressing a sense of meaninglessness.
It is all the same game
Suggesting that life or existence is a repetitive and predictable game.
No matter how
Emphasizing the insignificance of different approaches or perspectives.
You address the name
Regardless of how one refers to things or people, it doesn't change the essence.
We all play dress up
Highlighting the universal experience of pretending or putting on masks.
At some point in time
Suggesting that dressing up is a common behavior across time.
Mesmerized by passing seasons
Being captivated by the transient nature of time and changing seasons.
Inspiration: evolving divine reason
Finding inspiration in the evolving and divine aspects of reason.
The symbol's stroke
Referring to a symbol and its significance.
Promethean fires stoked
Evoking the idea of fires associated with the mythical figure Prometheus.
But it's all false
Stating that everything is false or misleading.
And reeks of humanity's halls
Indicating a deceptive quality associated with human endeavors.
The deepest of all lies
Referring to a profound falsehood or deception.
We're the only animal capable
Claiming that humans are uniquely capable of committing a certain crime.
Of this crime
Elaborating on the unspecified crime mentioned in the previous line.
Look back
Encouraging reflection on the past.
Authenticity retract
Suggesting the withdrawal or denial of authenticity.
A belief in yourself solely,
Advocating a belief in oneself as the only valid standpoint.
Well that's just meaningless
Labeling self-belief as meaningless in the larger context.
As something else persists
Acknowledging the persistence of something beyond self-belief.
And offers itself to anyone
Describing the availability of an alternative option or opportunity.
Holding out their hand
Describing someone extending a helping hand or an offer.
