@[FryGuy248:17572] I don't remember the whole paradox by heart. But if memory serves, this paradox brings out the possibility that our civilisation is gonna be destroyed in time, thus the songs a bit dark for such a theme. But I honestly don't remember the logic of that conclusion, you may look it up. |

This song's about Giordano Bruno, he had thoughts way beyond his time and got executed because of charges heresy by Roman Catholic Church. 'As you will sentence me, your fear is beyond mine' were his reply to his conviction. Anyway, this is from his quotes, you may judge his opinions yourself 'There are countless suns and countless earths all rotating round their suns in exactly the same way as the seven planets of our system. We see only the suns because they are the largest bodies and are luminous, but their planets remain invisible to us because they are smaller and non-luminous. The countless worlds in the universe are no worse and no less inhabited than our earth. For it is utterly unreasonable to suppose that those teeming worlds which are as magnificent as our own, perhaps more so, and which enjoy the fructifying rays of a sun just as we do, should be uninhabited and should not bear similar or even more perfect inhabitants than our earth. The unnumbered worlds in the universe are all similar in form and rank and subject to the same forces and the same laws. Impart to us the knowledge of the universality of terrestrial laws throughout all worlds and of the similarity of all substances in the cosmos! Destroy the theories that the earth is the centre of the universe! Crush the supernatural powers said to animate the world, along with the so-called crystalline spheres! Open the door through which we can look out into the limitless, unified firmament composed of similar elements and show us that the other worlds float in an ethereal ocean like our own! Make it plain to us that the motions of all the worlds proceed from inner forces and teach us in the light of such attitudes to go forward with surer tread in the investigation and discovery of nature! Take comfort, the time will come when all men will see as I do.' |

| @[FryGuy248:17571] The man is Giordano Bruno. Direct translation of his words were 'Perchance you who pronounce my sentence are in greater fear than I who receive it.' | |

I think this is about a person who's looking back. Didn't put too much worth to people around him, cared about himself, thinking that 'never looking back' was the trick to live the life he wanted, but ended up alone and without anyone that loves him. 'There are words that never found my lips There are words I'd soon forget Thought the trick was never to look back But it seems I've lost my grip, I slip' 'Took the road but should have chased the stars Now I've lost my own way home Had a photo of the time we shared But I burned it long ago, I know I struck all the matches stuck in the ashes Forgive me, won't you simply speak my name' It is quite obious in these particular verses actually. It may also be about a person who gave up people he loved for ideologies and some political ideals, then realised what the hell he had done when all he had was loneliness, insecurity and darkness. That would fit the album's concept even more. 'Mother wash the devil from my hands Pray the Lord I have the strength to stand Mother, tell me was it all a lie? Show me where the angels die' Might mean that he realised that he sacrificed his loved ones for a lie, and now wants to at least make a stand for the right thing, asking help from the only person who'd not reject him. |
