To start of the year 2016 here’s a new track from Joseph the artist called soul bliss featuring up and coming producer and singer Ryzz PiKholo . The instrumental is produced and is from freddie joachim latest album called This World .
The line—“My shine’s a guillotine, black diamonds gleam, / Time’s a corpse, no medics for the dream. / Custom death, I call the jeweller first, / Then the coroner—your fate’s been cursed. / My watch ticks doom, no mercy, no pause, / Your reflection kneels to my unholy laws”—is a haunting exploration of power, mortality, and the human quest for meaning. Its vivid imagery, blending opulence with dread, challenges readers to confront existential and spiritual truths. The speaker’s godlike control and the relentless march of time create a tension that resonates across philosophical and biblical frameworks. This article unravels the philosophical and biblical meaning of the verse, delving into themes of vanity, time, mortality, and redemption, while inviting readers to reflect on its profound implications.
The Guillotine of Materialism
Philosophically, the verse wields a “guillotine” of materialism, its “black diamonds” symbolizing wealth’s seductive yet lethal allure. The speaker’s act of calling the jeweler before the coroner reveals a chilling hubris, as if death can be curated like a bespoke jewel. This godlike control, however, is undermined by time, depicted as a “corpse” with “no medics for the dream.” The imagery evokes Friedrich Nietzsche’s concept of the abyss, where human brilliance gazes into a void of meaninglessness. The guillotine’s gleam reflects a broader existential critique: wealth and power, though dazzling, are powerless against mortality’s blade. The verse thus challenges readers to question material pursuits, urging a search for purpose in the fleeting dreams that persist despite time’s decay. This resonates with existentialist thinkers like Jean-Paul Sartre, who emphasized creating meaning in an absurd, indifferent world.
Time’s Relentless Judgment
The “watch ticks doom” without mercy, and the “unholy laws” force reflections—others’ lives, hopes, or legacies—to kneel, painting a world where divine order is usurped by amoral sovereignty. Time’s indifference, a universal guillotine, cuts through all human constructs, from wealth to ambition. This relentless ticking aligns with Albert Camus’ absurdism, where humanity grapples with a universe devoid of inherent purpose. The speaker’s attempt to impose “unholy laws” mirrors a futile rebellion against time’s judgment, yet the kneeling reflections suggest that even this power is illusory. Philosophically, the verse invites us to embrace the fragile dream, finding meaning not in defying mortality but in living authentically within its shadow, a call to courage in the face of inevitable doom.
Biblical Warnings of Vanity
Biblically, the verse echoes the somber wisdom of Ecclesiastes: “All is vanity” (Ecclesiastes 1:2). The guillotine-shine and custom death mirror the Teacher’s critique of wealth as a fleeting pursuit, unable to outlast death’s curse (Ecclesiastes 2:11). The speaker’s “unholy laws” recall the pride of Babylon in Revelation, glittering with riches yet doomed to collapse (Revelation 18:7). Time’s corpse and the absence of medics evoke the Fall in Genesis, where death entered as humanity’s curse (Genesis 3:19). The speaker’s rebellion against divine authority underscores the futility of human power, akin to the Tower of Babel’s collapse (Genesis 11:4-9). This biblical lens reveals the verse as a cautionary tale, warning against the vanity of self-made sovereignty and the illusion of control over eternal consequences.
Redemption’s Hope Beyond Doom
In stark contrast to the verse’s nihilism, Scripture offers redemption: Christ’s resurrection triumphs over death’s guillotine, promising eternal life (1 Corinthians 15:54-57). While the speaker’s watch ticks doom, the biblical narrative points to a hope that transcends time’s corpse, urging pursuit of divine purpose over worldly gleam. This tension—despair versus salvation, vanity versus eternity—makes the verse a profound meditation on human existence. Its haunting beauty lies in its ability to provoke reflection, blending existential dread with spiritual possibility. Readers are invited to share their interpretations in the comments, exploring how this dark poetry speaks to life’s deepest questions and challenges us to seek meaning beyond the curse.

The philosophical underpinning of this vivid, violent poetic imagery lies in the tension between purity and corruption, a recurring theme in existential and moral philosophy. The speaker’s “barbaric antics” and katana-wielding poetry reflect a Nietzschean rejection of conventional morality, embracing a radical, destructive act to “cleanse” a world deemed inherently impure. This aligns with Nietzsche’s concept of the will to power, where creation and destruction are intertwined—here, the artistry of poetry becomes a weapon to annihilate and, paradoxically, to renew. The assertion that “no one under the sun is pure” echoes existential despair, akin to Sartre’s view of human existence as fraught with inauthenticity, justifying extreme measures to confront this truth.
The invocation of “crucifying” with “sharpness the artistry” suggests a sacrificial motif, reminiscent of Camus’ absurd rebellion. The speaker’s method, though “insane,” is a deliberate confrontation with the absurd—a refusal to accept a meaningless world passively. By wielding poetry as a katana, the speaker elevates destruction to an art form, akin to Artaud’s Theatre of Cruelty, where shocking acts aim to awaken dormant truths. The “horrific scene” is thus a philosophical statement: to dismantle a corrupt world requires a violence that is both literal and symbolic, forcing society to face its own moral decay.
Yet, the final plea to “revive Azuza soul” and “illuminate society with hope” introduces a redemptive counterpoint, suggesting a Hegelian dialectic—destruction as a precursor to synthesis and renewal. This hope, though fragile, aligns with Buber’s philosophy of encounter, where true change emerges from confronting the “other” (here, society’s flaws) with radical authenticity. The poem’s barbarity, then, is not mere nihilism but a philosophical gauntlet: to shatter illusions of purity, expose humanity’s shared guilt, and carve a path toward a reimagined, hopeful society through the crucible of poetic violence.
