Collision (Ordem Paranormal)

Ayakashi's song "Collision (Ordem Paranormal)" delves into the harrowing experience of battling inner demons and external threats in a chilling, almost apocalyptic setting. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a protagonist who is tormented by both psychological and physical afflictions. The recurring imagery of cold, snow, and ice symbolizes the emotional numbness and isolation the protagonist feels. The mention of Glaucius, a figure that freezes the protagonist's soul, adds to the sense of being trapped in a relentless, frigid environment where escape seems impossible.

The song's narrative is steeped in anxiety and fear, as the protagonist grapples with a monstrous presence that haunts them. This monster could be interpreted as a metaphor for mental illness or personal demons that are difficult to escape. The lines "A ansiedade consome / E infectando meu próprio raciocínio" highlight how anxiety consumes and distorts the protagonist's thinking, leading to a sense of being infected or poisoned by their own mind. The use of terms like "infecticídio" and "vírus no sistema" further emphasizes the idea of an internal battle against a pervasive, destructive force.

In the midst of this turmoil, the protagonist seeks solace in the cold, using it as a means to numb their pain and fear. The repeated phrase "Em meio a nevasca" (In the midst of the blizzard) suggests a state of being lost and overwhelmed, yet also a place where the protagonist can hide their fear. The song's climax reveals a desperate struggle for survival, with the protagonist willing to transform their surroundings into a hellish landscape to defeat their tormentor. The final lines, "Depois vou ter que colher os cacos / De todos esses vidros jogados," reflect the aftermath of this battle, where the protagonist must pick up the pieces of their shattered psyche.
