After reading more about Royal Robertson, it seems like Sufjan is telling Royal's story. Wiki said this about Royal 'Numerous hallucinatory visions of space travel where aliens predicted the End of Days through complex numerological formulas and warned him about the dangers of adultery and fornication led Robertson to believe that he was a victim of a global female conspiracy.He believed that his ex-wife's betrayal would be the cause of the cataclysmic destruction of humanity, and that his art was divinely sanctioned.' Sufjan is interested in Royal because he walks the line of genius and mad man. If your know anything about schizophrenia, it commonly occurs in people who are in the highest realms of intelligence. This is what makes it so frightening. Someone could be at the top of their class, brilliant and creative one day, and then unable to tell truth from hallucination the next. |

I saw Sufjan this week and he said this song is about love and the apocalypse. How loosing a love can feel like the end of the world and be so dramatic... 'When it dies, when it dies It rots And when it lives, and when it lives It gives it all it gots This is the Age of Adz Eternal living' I think this is about the struggle in your mind when a relationship is ending, do you give it all you got, or let it rot. still not sure what the lyrics 'Age of Adz' means, and adz is a tool used for shaping wood, maybe because you feel like one has been taken to your chest after a heartbreak. Seems like a lot of the songs on this album concern heartbreak. |
