No doubt everyone's perception of "art" can vary. But, the "artist" themselves create out of one viewpoint. Their very own experiences. In this case, it may not be bold but there may be a reason. Let's take a look at the song and video "Runaway Train" for example. In the beginning he mentions the "love triangle" he, "future" and "calamity" are in. At this moment in the video, Brandon shows us the two horned male drawings, which are the same person and himself presenting them. Triangle - Brandon (future), Brandon (calamity) and Brandon (himself) "in the corner starting to feel uncomfortable". Now he is asking if he should stop or continue with this love triangle. "douse the spark or fan the flames". Here's where it gets interesting. Brandon has been trying to communicate with us something that he shouldn't be talking about. So he has to "merely think of clever things to say". An addiction can bring about the word "love" to express how much one likes what they experience from it, whether good or bad. Breaking away from what you love is not easy. So now we have Brandon telling us how he has tried more than once to break away from this love triangle. But each attempt has brought him back to the uncomfortable corner. "the more I try to seperate, the better it feels to get right in the way. At this moment in the video, when he says "the better it feels to get right in the way", you see a male figure in a suit opening a treasure chest. In the second verse, Brandon keeps finding himself back in the love triangle, it's because "THEY have a talent for making trouble seem enjoyable." Who are "they"? Could be the entertainment industry hence the man in the suit flashing treasures and gifts. Here's a clever thing. In the video at 2:00, when he says, "Oh how I do love the RAIN.", you will see the suited man flashing objects which symbolize gifts. Brandon loves being SHOWERED with gifts! Even though it seems to get him in trouble. The horns are symbolic. You see the horns in the video "Last Night A Passenger" as well, with the female demons around him. "with HER belly full she culled..". Female demons because in Paganism, the female goddess is the one in control. Just like chess, in which you win when you beat the QUEEN. His fate lies in the belly of the "beast"/ "hell". Most of Brandon's songs are about his experiences as a Pagan. "our intuit we're taught to deny, yes our soul we're told's for selling!" -Out from Under Maybe the simplistic lyrics of his solo album and the videos is the line he crossed being the reason why he never performs any of the songs besides this one and it was only once in 2010 in Chile in a benefit for the trapped miners. He's not the only Pagan "artist" out there. |

In the Company of Wolves: rite of passage - a ritual event that marks a person's progress from one status to another. Cull - a selection; those beasts taken out of a herd for a special purpose. "she CULLED this rite of passage it was the longest night of my life" this is not about sex or politics. brandon belongs to a certain group in which he has reached a certain level within it. "the man you see was made", "i was lost but NOW i am found", i was low but NOW i am high", "i was ALIVE i think for the FIRST time". after the ritual, brandon doesn't feel any different, in which he assumed he would. so he feels "something's wrong... when it all remains the same". but brandon assures us the ritual did work. he is now Found, High and Alive. at the beginning of the second half, you hear brandon exhale symbolizing the birth of this new man he now is. so what does this all mean? check out the "live on letterman" concert video of this song @ 4:42 (horns), @ 5:33 (pyramid) and @ 7:33 (666). look at his facebook page. there is a lot of symbols with the pictures in his photo album. look at the info section. "1 800 GOAT BOY". enjoy Incubus - A male demon believed to have sexual intercourse with sleeping women. |
