| She Wants Revenge – Monologue Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| this is one of my favorites. like all SWR songs, it's self-explanatory. it's not supposed to be deep and thought-provoking. it's just...there for enjoyment. and for the background music for sex :) | |
| VNV Nation – Carbon Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
i just finished reading Dan Brown's Angels and Demons, and I can see a lot of symbology in this song that's in that book. the book (amazing, all should read) is about an ancient brotherhood called the Illuminati, who, though originally Christian, became a group completely focused on science and hating religion. Illuminati literally means "the enlightened ones". they were a group of Christian scientists, trying to find the meaning of life and God. they established a "path of illumination" in Rome leading to their secret meeting place, hidden from the Catholic church. marking each point in the path is an obelisk, a large pillar with a pyramid on the top. "Monuments in darkness, standing watch until the sun will rise." although I don't really believe that this song is about this brotherhood, i do find it interesting that it refers to "a million points of light ascending to the sky." it could be the enlightened ones attempting to reach heaven. perhaps the song refers to the corruption of the original religious scientists who became haters of christianity and all it stands for. they became pure scientists, destroying all religion stands for, destroying our beautiful, natural world. haha, i'm probably reaching. but still, everyone should read this book. |
