@[bluebottleblue:32035] Sorry mate, not remotely close, you gotta a lot of likes tho. Like how you tried to parse it word by word. He's a poet, it's poetry, this is imagery, these images have meanings, not the meanings of the individual words. Read it again, I'm sorry, I have to off on almost every point, except you got that they were metaphors. Not sure if you noticed, but Christ who features prominantly in their images didn't really make it onto this album, someone correct if I'm wrong here. @[liva102853:32036] Nice catch. Which of course is what the song is about. I like scrolling through the nonsense people post here. This song and accompanying video are worryingly on message, the whole album is teetering on the edge there. I want to write an answer to that, but in song, not on a website. Pretty avid fan of the band here, sort hoping this is another level metaphorical like some sort of Taoist metaphor which is possible. The "awakened" in the video are curiously inside. The danger of a song like this is presuming this is the intent, like the line, have a laugh at the orthodox, it could be misunderstood. Kind of surfing the internet looking for a clearer answer here. |
