think about this song in the context of the old testament: isreal was distroyed all of those times because she constantly broke Gods covenant. God always rebuilt her though, no matter what happened. he resorted them, just as he restores us, redeems us, forgives us. the reason this song is so cool is because it takes all this metaphorical buisness and puts it to the raddest, heavyist, chill inducing song ABR style |

| Oh, Sleeper – WORLD WITHOUT A SUN Lyrics

I agree that this song is about how much things would suck if we didint have the sun/son, but this is primarily imagery form dantes inferno. In the inferno, dante says that the lower circles are frozen by the flapping of satans wings, freezing the world of stone. the part about the trees is especially interesting. in canto XIII, the second round of the seventh circle is the wood of the suicides where their souls are traped in dead trees where flesh grows out instead of leaves and they are picked off and eaten by the harpies. nasty stuff, but i think it is likley that this is what is being discribed. as a matter of fact, just about all imagery of hell comes from dantes inferno or the Aneaid, not the bible. i challenge you to find a spiritual death (hell) refference in the bible that describes anything but simply the grave or the fire. |
