Discerning Spirits delves into compelling themes and societal concerns through pulsating synths, rhythms, and introspective lyrics. It challenges societal norms and invites introspection into the complexities of existence.
“Illegal Truth” is a powerful and evocative piece of music that not only explores important themes of truth and justice but also serves as a poignant call for resistance and perseverance in the face of oppressive regimes. The imagery within the track vividly portrays the repercussions faced by those who challenge the status quo, with graphic descriptions like “teeth in red puddles” symbolizing the brutality and bloodshed endured by truth-seekers. The mention of “add a billion more” implies a widespread escalation of violence, underscoring the dire consequences of dissent.
Themes of truth, oppression, and resistance can be found in the video that shapeshifts signs of the times AI imagery with original and found footage of evil historical manifestations and dark occult suggestions to sync with the dangerous societal warning of the soundtrack.
