Críptica Visión

Dorso's song "Críptica Visión" delves into a nightmarish and apocalyptic vision inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft, particularly the mythos surrounding the Necronomicon and the Great Old Ones. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world where humanity has been extinguished, and ancient, malevolent forces rise to reclaim their dominion over the Earth. The reference to the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire in Lovecraft's universe, sets the stage for the arrival of a 'bastard star' and the pseudo-god Araña, who is destined to rule over desolate landscapes.

As the song progresses, it describes the weakening of this arachnid deity's power over centuries, paving the way for the reign of the sea and the emergence of the great Cthulhu and his deep-sea minions. This imagery is steeped in Lovecraftian lore, where Cthulhu is a cosmic entity lying dormant beneath the ocean, waiting to rise and bring chaos. The 'cryptic vision' that haunts dreams and descends from the cosmos symbolizes the return of these ancient beings, reclaiming their empire and bringing darkness and madness to the world.

The song's vivid descriptions of living protoplasm with countless mouths and eyes, and the nightmarish creatures dancing around it, evoke a sense of overwhelming horror and corruption. The forests boiling with corrupt vermin and the howling of a mad chant further amplify the sense of a world overrun by eldritch horrors. Dorso's use of these intense and grotesque images captures the essence of cosmic horror, where the unknown and the incomprehensible reign supreme, and humanity is but a fleeting memory in the grand scheme of the universe.
