Vikernes has described Burzum as a kind of "spell" or recreation of an imaginary world tied in with Pagan history.[2] Each album, he claims, was designed as a kind of "spell" in itself, with each beginning song intending to make the listener more susceptible to "magic", the following songs to inspire a "trance-like state of mind", and the last song to carry the listener into a "world of fantasy" (dreams, for the listener would fall asleep—Burzum was supposed to have been evening music).[8] Vikernes claims the intent to create this fantasy world came from dissatisfaction with the real world.[8] He has stated the "message" of Burzum can be found in the lyrics of the first song of the first album ("Feeble Screams from Forests Unknown").[8]
