Frankenstein (Junji Ito) - Parte Por Parte

Chrono's song 'Frankenstein (Junji Ito) - Parte Por Parte' delves into the profound and often terrifying consequences of human ambition and the quest for god-like power. The lyrics draw heavily from the themes of Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein' and the eerie, unsettling style of Junji Ito's horror manga. The song opens with a stark commentary on the relationship between humanity and divinity, suggesting that humans have overstepped their bounds by trying to play God, leading to catastrophic results.

The narrative progresses to describe the obsessive pursuit of the 'secret of life' through relentless research and experimentation. The imagery of laboratories filled with cadavers and the act of assembling life from various parts evoke a sense of macabre fascination and horror. This pursuit is not just a scientific endeavor but a philosophical and ethical transgression, as the protagonist acknowledges the madness shared by many 'geniuses' who dare to defy natural laws.

As the song unfolds, the protagonist grapples with the consequences of their actions. The creation of life, symbolized by the 'monster of Frankenstein,' becomes a source of regret and fear. The lyrics poignantly express the creator's realization of their own flaws and the monstrous outcome of their hubris. The repeated refrain of being 'stitched together, bound to my defects' underscores the inescapable nature of their mistakes. The song concludes with a haunting reflection on the enduring presence of the 'aberration' they have created, a living testament to their transgressions and the ultimate futility of their quest for godhood.
