| Bright Eyes – Jejune Stars Lyrics | 15 years ago |

I was under the impression that the code is a literal interpretation of our DNA. "The code we inherit, the basis the essence of life" is a pretty overt description. It's been a running theme throughout People's Key as well as Digital Ash; whether it be in the form of the code, a spiral, or a spiral staircase. I also saw this interpretation in A Machine Spiritual in the lyric "we form some kind of code, of flesh and bone. no you're not alone." I see a running theme of DNA as a base unifier of all living things in this line and in a lot of others. The symbolic unification of all living things is a really strong theme in this song, be it karmic, or scientific. Another example, I feel, is the idea that all matter in our solar system (including all living things) is the result of stars erupting eons ago is hinted at by the term "jejune stars." Just my interpretation though. I guess that's half the fun in listening to this album :) |
