‘Viso’ is the second chapter of ‘Raya’, representing the birth of Man and paraphrasing the anthropogenic chapter in the band’s own mythology. In this subsequent stage, Pothamus ponders the primordial origins of Man. Not simply as born on this earth, but as born out of and from this earth.
One could interpret this quite literally, as astrobiologist Lewis Dartnell states that “each of us is literally made of the Earth, as is all life on the planet”. The water in our body, the carbon in the organic molecules of our cells, the salt in our sweat and tears, the calcium in our bones, and the iron in our blood “all eroded out of the rocks of the Earth's crust; as the sulphur of the protein molecules in our muscles was once spewed out by volcanoes”. The particles conceiving the cosmos are also found within us.
In a more spiritual and metaphysicist sense, this awareness probes our relationship with the Earth. In ‘Viso’, the idea is thus put forth that nature is not merely around us, as the implicit but pervasive dualistic credo of the 19th century Enlightenment proclaimed. There is not a ‘natural world’ that is ‘out there’ from which we can withdraw. Nature is within us, as we are within nature. In its most abstract and general sense, ‘Viso’ implies an absolute interconnectedness with our natural surroundings. A total refutation of the duality between self and non-self: We are the Earth.

Lyrics:
Gaia;
Earth and Sky.
You form
What has been born,
What will be born.
From this soil,
Form this soul,
Form these bones.
Embody Raya.
