I translated obscure black metal song about dmt!

[Kitisha]

I dont usually listen to this type of music, but this band really stands out to me because of the lyrics. Even their other songs are always multi-layered with interesting themes. As far as i know, they are one of the underground OG-cult black metal bands and they were around for decades now, which deserves respect i think.

I thought you all might find the lyrics interesting, so i translated them to share



Masters Hammer - DMT

[YOUTUBE]

Lyrics:

In the jungle of enhanced consciousness
Lives dimethyltryptamine, undying
In hiding, in the shrubbery
On a double helix
In a psychopathic herbarium
New bugs are working

*sounds of dmt bugs doing their thing*

A leader bewitched by a cobra
In the embrace of a perverted queen
A cold firestarter
A worm from a burned library

Fully visible creatures in the darkness
Under the pressure of hundreds of thousands atmospheres
Transparent medusas and giant squids
Glossy scum from playing snakes

*sounds of falling down into chasms*

In the jungle of enhanced consciousness
Lives dimethyltryptamine, undying
He reminded me of how we had to -
Beat hides with a flint
He is the king of ghosts
In our mind he is reading

*sounds of dmt bugs doing their thing*

I had a lick of a stream of light
It flows down lower and closer
A long spiral read in my brain-
"im glad you arent afraid"
"so give me your hand, and undress your clothes"
"see? you are already purring like a kitten"
"im your desire, im your executioner"
"into chasms i will kick you down"

*sounds of falling down into chasms*

Sepultura, an 80s-90s metal band, and another band by max cavalera (From Sepultura) called Soul Fly has some really cool lyrics. Not necessarily about dmt, but primal man, consciousness, other similar things. Brings me back to my younger days.

I liked some songs from sepultura, have you heard this one with pavarotti?

But for all my "primal man, consciousness and other similar things" needs, i usually go to tool. I must have heard their complete discography like 10 times by now, haha.
