After reading your comment again I know now that you're implying this song is part of some sort of Illuminati mind-control plot. I can relate to your paranoia because I too used to be a hardcore conspiracy theorist. But most of the shit you get off of those websites is bull. I know the thing you use as "proof" are going to be a bit stupid and irrational but I feel the need to address some of them. "the devil is always being talked bad about and he stays the same" It's the "and he stays the same" part that gets me. Isn't Satan supposed to be a shape-shifter...? "the guy has one eye which symbolizes power and money not to mention that its is flaming RED!!!! THIS SPEAKS OF THE DEVIL!!!" It's just an illustration of one half of the guys face. Like the cover of a comic-book. His eye isn't "flaming" it's glowing and it looks like it could be bleeding too. The titles of some of Kavinskys tracks imply that the cover character is the ghost of a man involved in a car crash. So him glowing and having a bit of blood on his face seems logical since it appears that he's supposed to be...well...the spirit of a car crash victim. The fact that the track immediately after Nightcall is about a ghost car adds further credence to this theory. |

Actually w33zy, I don't think this is about the Devil. From listening to all of Kavinskys works and taking note reoccurring themes I've come to believe that each of his songs are telling a single story. With each E.P. being a different chapter in this story. In "Teddy Boy" the the main character [the guy on the cover art] has a car crash, dies in the hospital and comes back as a ghostly phantom driver. In "1986" he is haunting the highways and reminiscing on what happened to him in the moments leading up to and immediately after the crash. And in "Nightcall" it seems as though he's trying to get in touch with his old girlfriend or maybe just a girl he loved in life but never had the courage to tell her. He wants her to ride with him so she can experience all the things he's experienced since he died. And he's telling her not to be afraid. "I'm giving you a night call to tell you how I feel I want to drive you through the night, down the hills I'm gonna tell you something you don't want to hear I'm gonna show you where it's dark, but have no fear" This girl can tell something strange is happening because of the way he sounds, the news reports covering the crash and the sightings of the mysterious "ghost car". Hence the lyrics: "There's something inside you It's hard to explain They're talking about you boy But you're still the same" Basically she's seen the news converge of the crash and the police footage of the "ghost car" that is haunting the highways. She knows he's supposed to be dead but here he is on the phone with her. She can tell he's changed by the way he's talking. He sounds ghostly,depressed,electrified even. But despite how inhuman he sounds she can't help but feel like he's still the same person he was before he died. So she just might ride with him. That's just the way I see it. |
