What is the meaning behind Obzen lyrics?
When we delve into what the artist truly meant to convey, the play between good and bad vibes, on one hand, and the creation of a new world, on the other hand, feed the metaphors of filth and decay that represent a distorted light. Messy metaphors dominate Obzen's lyrics, alongside despair, angst, social criticism, reflection, and anger. Simultaneously, the song talks about the squeaky-clean aspect of filth, the new faith, the extremes of vice and corruption, and the coexistence of the foul with decay and disgust. Besides that, the lyrics offer violence, vice, and corruption as their major themes together with very unsettling visuals and language forbidden for under-18 audiences. ✔️
