dirty punks for some, dirty fascists for others." The debut album's lyrics dealt with mythology and the depths of the human soul. According to Legacy journalist Johannes Paul Köhler, the second album, Srontgorrth, dealt with the total solar eclipse in 1999, while Meilenwald explained it as the fictional story of an individual freed from the prison of the unconscious and striving to reclaim his past, understand the present and look into the future. While Köhler wrote that with vocalist Zingultus, the band moved away from the Pagan lyrics, Meilenwald wrote that the mythological aspects had almost completely disappeared on Srontgorrth and were more important to Virus West again. The third album's cover displays the Westwall, which, according to Alexander von Meilenwald, is not supposed to be interpreted politically but "is the dark side of the Western German landscape and supposed to support the musical scenario. 'Virus West' is a pathogen coming from the west—that's us." According to Meilenwald, most people "may have realised by now that the political content in black metal contradicts the original idea and has a weak ideological fundament". He called politics a "mixture of lies, hunger for power and megalomania". The band considered it to be important to remain apolitical; Zorn called radical politics in music annoying but added he does not care about political beliefs that are kept out of the music. Nonetheless, the drummer pointed a finger at "Turks" and "North Africans" and equated them with social problems.
