Glissandra

wow. no comments. i kinda think it may be the climax of the album, but it doesn't sound that way, the lyrics scream that though.

If you look around the album booklet, you'll see a few pictures. Pyramids, a full moon, an Apollo moon lander of some sort, ECT. it looks like this song is where that all comes from. To be honest, i don't think they have anything important to do with the album, except some pretty cool lines. Glissandra REALLY reminds me of Tristessa, the beat and guitars are similar, but it still manages to be completely unique. it feels like this was meant to be the climax of the album, but it doesn't sound that way. the lyrics, however, are out for blood. ambitious. it looks like these lyrics took the longest to make. only a few repeating lines, and no real chorus. it still manages to be a really good addition to the album, and fits right in with all the unique-sounding songs, and different sounds. and... do i spot a Pink Floyd reference..? "..Pipers play for Dawn" huh. Pink Floyds debut album was called "Piper at the Gates of Dawn". tryin' to make yet ANOTHER sneaky Pink Floyd reference, are we, Billy? that's cool, not alot of people are gonna catch it, i guess. "Abuse the modern minds, Crushed on what you'll find" i wonder what those last lines mean. it's definitely from the perspective of someone alot more famous than the average person, so i don't think i'll ever understand. Great song, Beautiful melody, great Lyrics, 10/10.

huh. i wonder why only this song has correct lyrics.. no matter, i'm just glad someone other than me listens to these XD sometimes it feels that way in the world. all the Robots walk around, headphones spewing SHIT into their rotten ears. some people deserve no tongues. i wish more people would recognize this music as the superior. other music is profane, no feeling. just fucking bitches, and auto-tune to hide their lack of talent. i'm in a hurry, so i cannot post my interpretation of this song, only my hate for others ;)

Well, Glissandra was a cheerful Disney fairey who wore a lot of makeup.

I have no idea how that really fits into this song though :)

Seems like the end of a journey that didn't really provide a resolution.

Iused to know What a wish was for

is the lyric that is repeated over and over. It seems like an admission of confusion.

However, I can also intrepret it as, In the past he knew what a wish was for, but wishes are foolish and he's gained the knowledge to appreciate the journey rather than wishful desires.

I’ve been hungry and I’ve been full

Is another line that is repeated a lot. It kind of shows the full-circleness of the journey.

I feel like I'm missing something with this one though.

I'm unable to do the whole song as it doesn't quite make sense to me, but these lines all stuck out.

"I've been hungry and I've been full And I've been sated some more I used to know what for I used to know All hours look the same"

---- BC has both starved as a musician and had mansions as a musician. Same goal, different surroundings. Since his SP re-boot, he sold his soul to the devil to keep them relevant. Being "sated some more" means they basically sent him the king's banquet, but he knows the cost, and it's still not worth it. He used to know why he did this, now he doesn't.

"Magic plumes my soul Pyramids for sale Full moons on the rail"

--- all of these things are requirements from his new bosses/overlords.

"Hypnotized, unwind these lines around my head"

--- he's literally trying to make sense of what he's done

Shrug. It ties in with all the other garb that BC has written since the reboot.
