Ave Expurgo

In 'Ave Expurgo,' k a m a i t a c h i delves into the darker aspects of human nature and societal behavior. The song opens with a 'blessed night,' a time to release pent-up anger towards a world that thrives on the misfortune of others and is enamored with its own pride. The lyrics paint a picture of a society where people trample over each other, using others as shields to reach an 'absolute top.' This imagery suggests a ruthless, competitive environment where empathy is scarce, and self-interest reigns supreme.

The recurring phrase 'Ave expurgo' serves as a call for purification, a cleansing of the 'plagues' that infest this 'damned world.' The song encourages individuals to embrace their rage and use it as a tool for transformation. The idea of bathing in hatred and making one's 'cumulative' anger an 'absolute abyss' suggests a cathartic release, a way to confront and perhaps overcome the pervasive negativity.

As the song progresses, it shifts from a 'blessed night' to a 'damned night,' a time to feed the inner demons that starve during the day. The lyrics draw parallels between human behavior and the animal kingdom, questioning why people hide their true nature when even predators like lions lose their majesty when surrounded by hyenas. The song concludes with a grim acceptance of humanity's flaws—lying, pretending, and stepping on others. It references Machiavellian thought, suggesting that to command, one must be feared, and ends with a toast to our collective egoism. This final note underscores the song's central theme: a raw, unfiltered look at the selfishness and cruelty that often drive human actions.
