The bridge— "My family crest is a demon of death" —acknowledges his cursed lineage. The repetition of "bury the light" signifies his deliberate attempt to hide his lingering humanity and the trauma of his childhood.

The lyrics are a deep dive into Vergil’s psyche, focusing on his obsession with power and his rejection of his human heritage.
