"Themata" is the second single/music video from Australian progressive/alternative metal band Karnivool. It was released as the second single from their debut album Themata on 11 July 2005, following the first single, "L1FEL1KE". "Themata" is the first song by Karnivool to chart on Triple J's Hottest 100, where it reached #97 in 2005.
The song was covered by Australian Idol contestant Reigan Derry in 2006.
The music video on YouTube for the song was released with the song on 11 June 2005. It was Karnivool's second music video, after the video for L1FEL1KE on YouTube (2003). It was followed by the video for Shutterspeed on YouTube (2005), and then Set Fire To The Hive on YouTube.
The music video features the band playing in a room with red curtains, with the band's trademark, a little bug with what appear to be glass eyes, flying around. Some lyrics of the song flash up on screen and disappear again. The trademark bug is also seen in the video for Shutterspeed, and on the cover of Themata, both album and single. The video is edited down from the song's original length of 5 minutes 40 seconds to 4 minutes 35 seconds. In the part of the song where violins can be heard, three or four people playing violins appear in the room, then disappear again.
