Light Of Transcendence

Angra's song 'Light Of Transcendence' delves into the profound themes of self-realization and spiritual awakening. The lyrics suggest that our perceived reality is merely an illusion, a projection of the mind. This idea is encapsulated in the opening lines, 'Sorry, you're nothing but an illusion / You're just a mind projecting our world.' The song encourages listeners to look beyond their worries and fears, which are described as 'nothing but conclusions' and 'lies deterring your rebirth.' This rebirth symbolizes a deeper understanding of oneself and the universe.

The song further explores the concept of the self as a 'silent bliss' and a 'quiet dream' that exists beyond the 'abyss of thoughts' and the 'seas of time.' These metaphors suggest that true peace and understanding lie beyond the constant chatter of the conscious mind and the constraints of time. The lyrics 'Sorrow are faces on the mirror / Billions of hearts and names ethereal' imply that our individual sorrows and identities are transient and insubstantial, like reflections in a mirror.

The chorus, 'Shed all the fears / And trust the universe / Light of transcendence / The real perception,' serves as a call to action. It urges listeners to let go of their fears and place their trust in the universe, thereby achieving a 'light of transcendence' and a 'real perception' of reality. The repeated emphasis on 'trusting the universe' and the 'human conception' coming to fruition suggests a transformative journey towards a 'brand new world.' This new world is one where individuals are free from illusions and can perceive the true nature of existence.
