Oblivious To Evil

Deicide's 'Oblivious To Evil' is a powerful and provocative song that delves deep into themes of darkness, evil, and rebellion against religious norms. The lyrics are steeped in imagery that evokes the occult, Satanism, and a rejection of traditional Christian values. The song opens with an invitation to join a night of evil and death, setting the tone for a journey into the kingdom of darkness. The mention of the 'sacrifice of the unborn child' and 'sodomized for the ritual' highlights the extreme and taboo-breaking nature of the rituals described, emphasizing a complete departure from societal and religious norms.

The chorus, with its invocation of 'Infernal majesty' and the act of 'feeding the demon seed,' suggests a deep desire to embrace and be empowered by evil forces. This is further reinforced by the call to 'exorcise the powers of death' and 'invert my cross of time,' symbolizing a rejection of Christian symbols and an embrace of Satanic anarchy. The lyrics also reference Lucifer and Abbadon, figures from Christian demonology, to underline the song's alignment with dark and destructive forces.

The song's bridge and final verses continue this theme, describing rituals that defy death and summon demons. The line 'release me from the angels so righteous, for your God is dead' encapsulates the song's core message of rejecting traditional religious beliefs in favor of a darker, more chaotic worldview. Deicide, known for their death metal style and anti-religious themes, uses 'Oblivious To Evil' to challenge listeners to confront and question their own beliefs about good, evil, and the nature of power.
