The lyrics of “The Tower” delve into themes of upheaval, destruction, revelation, and transformation, echoing the symbolism inherent in the tarot card. The lyrics were inspired by the emotional impact of experiencing a sudden, profound, and traumatic change. The dynamic shifts in the music, ranging from slow and brooding to fast and chaotic, mirror the turbulent nature of the events associated with “The Tower.” The song serves as a sonic interpretation of the tarot card, capturing the essence of destruction as a precursor to rebirth and renewal.

Arcanica’s “The Tower” demonstrates the bands ability to weave a compelling narrative inspired by esoteric symbolism. The fusion of intense instrumentation and thematic lyrics creates an immersive experience for listeners, inviting them to explore the depths of transformation and upheaval symbolized by the tarot card.

lyrics

One with the sun
We on high
Live in a tower
Built upon a lie
We the feast
We the blight
We the eb and flow
Day in to the night

Reaching for the sky
searching for the power
thirsty oh so dry
And then came the shower

Blasts and bolts
Blood and smoke

And we all fall down

We the stained
We the marked
Travel long to
reclaim our hearts
Lost and torn
Flame reborn
Finding our own
Out of the night

Reaching for the sky
Searching for the power
Thirsty and so dry
Searching for the light
