| Moonspell – The Hanged Man Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
This song introduced me to Moonspell. To me the lyrics have indication of death at farthest extend of personal strength, one with a powerful mind though without power to change his own destiny,... or on a second thought, someone who has let the destiny to take over and is not struggling against the event, not because he has given up or he his weak, the death is his will. The somehow reminds me of the story death of "Mansur al-Hallaj". #with a flame on my hand# reminds me of the blood when they cut his hand... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansur_Al-Hallaj#Death but well, he has referred to "the card of the hanged man" which according to wiki the card carries the following meanings: Sacrifice ----- Letting go ----- Surrendering ----- Passivity Suspension ----- Acceptance ----- Renunciation ----- Patience New point of view ----- Contemplation ----- Inner harmony Conformism ----- Non-action ----- Waiting ----- Giving up it is one of those lyrics that as you read and learn more, the meaning will change. its dynamic, as if it grows with you, and thats what I like about it. |
