| Kamelot – Sacrimony (Angel of Afterlife) Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I feel that the song is about Revisionist History and how The Cinema acts as an outlet for it, the Angel of Afterlife, is the revised and romanticized account of the original events, a Sacrimony is a Sacrifice of something (in this case the truth) for no real reason, in this case it is unknowingly sacrificed in order to make a more gripping movie, it's also done in propaganda, making "Wrong turn to right, in a Celestial Light" Celestial in this context meaning Star-Studded, like the cast of a big budget motion picture. the song even explicitly states this "Make the truth appear for me as distant memories like pictures on a silver screen" and even in the song, the chaos inside the nebula is sung by the Angel of Afterlife, which to me is Revisionist History personified, sings the chorus "I am your angel of afterlife calming you down Silence inside your nebula And when the wrong turns to right in a celestial light I’ll be your testimony" referring to in time the movie's account slowly becomes the generally accepted truth no matter how romanticized or inaccurate the account may be. |

| Kamelot – Rule the World Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I dunno, to me personally it sounds alot like it's about living with Bipolar Disorder because I seem to have a relatively normal, happy mood during the day, but my emotions become negative going into the evening. (like the verse after the first chorus) sometimes I feel incredibly weak and don't even wanna look out at the world outside the window of my room "Sometimes I crumble when the shades unfurl" and sometimes I feel so incredibly fantastic and confident in myself, that I can do anything. "Sometimes I feel that I could rule the world" I don't know, that's just what it personally means to me... |
