| I have to comment separately just on the instrumentals alone. I’m not sure of the effect Maynard is using at the beginning, but quite sick! Speaking of sick, the guitar outtro is probably one of the sickest of simple licks I’ve ever heard. Just brilliant phrasing for what’s going on in the song at the time. Keep ‘em coming! | |

| Really can’t believe there’s no comments for this song. I think it’s because people either don’t want to hear the truth, or wouldn’t understand it even if it was made into a brilliantly composed song. It’s more than just a warning about finding ourselves in a false Matrix-like universe. For all we know, we already exist in one, perhaps one many levels deep. But it’s about the real potential for the disillusionment of the truth. The more there becomes an increasing grey area of just where lies the truth, of what’s right and of what’s wrong, the more we devolve as beings, be it human beings, aliens, etc. | |

| ..have to backtrack on the “heterogeneity”. What a complex word. Perhaps in the cynical light again he’s saying, if you take the antonym, “homogeneity” instead. As in we’re all conforming too much to a system, though we want to think we are so different and unique from everyone else. And if you say “our non-resilience to calamity”, that works too. Epic song. | |

| ..I just can’t stop the thoughts produced by this song lol. “raise a glass to our, our (the speaker stutters trying to find a word to land on). Our heterogeneity (the quality or state of being diverse in character or content) he lands on. As if our society achieving the most diverse culture possible is some pinnacle of human achievement. Not that it’s not a great thing, but seriously, this is what we are raising our glass for? Our remarkable resilience from calamity? That we have yet to nuke ourselves back to sticks and stones (if we’re lucky). All in all, it’s a slap in the face of a song to humanity, to awaken. To become awake, not Woke. | |

| ..and last thought, just to attempt to get others to comment on this amazing song for Puscifer’s sake. It’s clear Maynard is an oracle, or traveled here from the future, like Elon Musk. Let’s not forget, Fear Inoculum all but flat out said the plandemic was coming, and it did. People (the smart ones) are just now getting Puscifer about 10 years after he said it would take about a decade. It’s proof lol. | |

.. and I should have added that “it’s gonna be alright, everything will be alright” could be viewed on a grand cosmological scale as well. It’s likely we live on the inside of a possibly infinite network of black holes and what we see as our universe is merely the output of a single massive black hole. So quite literally, everything will be alright. If the universe is practically infinite, it’s guaranteed that your neural pathways or “same sense of self/consciousness” will occur at at place in our universe closer to our universe’s white hole or “Big Bang”, and that this same consciousness has occurred in the past or further out than we are from the epicenter. Due to the given size of our observable universe, it may even be possible that there are versions of your same “consciousness/neural pathways” living in the “present” or same distance from the epicenter of the Big Bang as we are. If any of this is true, than we are quite literally infinite. Now I’m not a cosmologist, nor a metaphysician, I’m an engineer. So I’ll shut the hell up. |

Well I wanted to say I can also see it from the perspective of an unconvinced observer watching a priest giving his sermon, and the observer is thinking: Old man Wibble Lush diviner Duke of babble Mad soothsayer And then the observer taking Communion: Drunken oracle drinks (priest drinks) The Liquid Jesus (red wine/the “blood”) Straight from the bottle Spiritus Sancti (Holy Spirit, nice touch) And the observer then struggling to look beyond all the dogmatic BS to understand the real point of the whole message: Fortune teller croons: “Write your own fable. Believe it'll all work out. It's gonna be alright. It's gonna be alright. Everything will be alright.” And again further filtering of the priest’s words by the observer: "Raise," he says, "raise a glass Raise a glass to our, our heterogeneity Our remarkable resilience through calamity" Celebrating our ability to remain so resilient as a species despite all of our incredible differences. This is where the perspective might have switched to another observer or a hundred others, such as Maynard (in a church??), or the observer is just himself through the whole song. The other idea I had is that this song is actually about Maynard himself being “Old Man Wibble” and “Duke of Babble.” “Drunken oracle drinks The Liquid Jesus Straight from the bottle”. I mean I’ve witnessed the man drink red wine straight from the bottle in one hand on stage & mic in the other lol. And the message he would certainly be sending (and does send in a lot of songs) I think, are those in the quotations of the song. It’s gonna be alright folks. |

It’s clearly told from the perspective of a fish being dragged struggling to “the light” by a fisherman, and the light here is not a good thing. “..skin is broken”, I.e, fish hook. I think my favorite line is this: “All this water, I, I don't feel like I could ever swim to them Whales in the sky (humans) I feel they're so close Inside, and yet so far away” That last line is outlining that all creatures on earth, sentient or otherwise are one and the same, evolutionarily all related at the least. Yet the fish struggles to understand why these humans are doing this to it. I don’t believe fish are that sentient, yet from the perspective of us all being one and the same, it is quite eerie. Very progressive metal! |
