| I would greatly appreciate the link to that interview! I'm glad to know I at least guessed some of this right. And the Lost Perfections and Prequel to the Sequel definitely are playing around in here. | |

| Except that the band members themselves have stated it's two different people. It's even on the official website description. | |
| Between the Buried and Me – Augment of Rebirth Lyrics | 14 years ago |

The whole "God complex" and "create/recreate" are intriguing, but I think that Prospect 2 has traveled back in time to the garden of eden to fix humanity's mistakes, or attempt to. "The seed is planted." The tree of knowledge, or the tree of life and death? One of the two, but it seems his God complex comes from the fact he has traveled back in time and acts as a God "in his place." The garden of eden. It's being literal, and when he says he'll face his mistakes, he considers humanity "his kind" and he will either "create" a new history, or "recreate" the one that happened, and his anguish in Lunar Wilderness and his face-off with death shows his plan for humanity didn't work, and he wasn't able to face "his" mistakes and grow. I think Prospect 1 will be key to trying the plan again or something and actually fixing humanity's destructive traits... |

Actually, I do think Prospect 1 does continue from Swim to the Moon... Perhaps, since Tommy stated Swim and Sun of Nothing are companion songs, Prospect 2 is the man from SoN, but I'm not really sure how that works, considering he throws himself into the sun... but perhaps there was some type of temporal disruption that cast him back to life: "The reality chases and catches up on actual alertness. I'm awake. A daydream, alone; silence." His space ship turned out to be a boat. The boat from swim to the moon turned out to be a space ship. This all seems too well planned out... The lyrics are confusing, but I think it's almost definite that at least ONE of these men is from Swim to the Moon. |
