The meaning of the lyrics of the song "De Profundis" by the artist "Watain"

The lyrics of "De Profundis" by the Swedish black metal band Watain are a hymn to darkness, chaos, and rebellion against the established order. It calls for a descent into the depths of despair and madness, where primal forces and demonic entities reside.

"Unfurl!" - This repeated call is addressed both to the outside world and to the inner "self" of the lyrical hero. It calls to break the shackles of reality, to tear down the veil of illusions and come face to face with the horrifying truth hidden in the depths of the unconscious.

The path that Watain calls us to is thorny and dangerous. It is littered with the corpses of those who could not stand the test of darkness. But the reward for courage will be a meeting with the true "self", freed from the shackles of morality and social norms.

The music that is sung about in the text is not just a set of sounds, but a weapon of rebellion, a "cry of protest" against everything holy and infallible. It carries the energy of chaos, destruction and transformation.

Watain calls us to renounce false gods and turn our gaze to the "flaming heavens" - a symbol of the coming apocalypse, which will sweep away the old world and give rise to a new one, where chaos and darkness will reign.
