I can't believe nobody has commented on any of the new songs from Superstition....
TBM is like one of, if not THE, best goth bands there is, PERIOD and NOONE has anything to write??
Anyway, this one is a little confusing to be honest, because the name is Divide, but the word is not in the lyrics anywhere. Despite that there is some undeniable imagery here, specifically the reference to Graeae, the mythological sisters who share an eye being stolen, but I am finding it somewhat difficult to follow the lyrics anywhere here....
In any case, the song JAMZ, and the album JAMZ, and they deserve some attention for yet another superb release!!
@zlloyd1 Don't quote me on this but I believe the song is a direct reference to Perseus who was thrown into the ocean in a chest with his mothers. I'm assuming that's the tides of glass. They were both thrown in an attempt to kill them as it was foretold Perseus would grow up to kill his grandfather. Upon arriving to the city a man tried to marry Perseus' mother and pretended to marry another women to rid himself of Perseus as he was in the way of the marriage to his mother. as he had no money he was...

Upon arriving to the city a man tried to marry Perseus' mother and pretended to marry another women to rid himself of Perseus as he was in the way of the marriage to his mother. as he had no money he was sent on a quest to bring the head of Medusa. I think this associates to the part about dances with snakes, however it is also possible its a reference to when Medusa's blood falls and creates deadly serpents. As he ventures into the quest his siblings Athena and Hermes come to his aid and bestow him with shoes to allow him to fly a scythe and a shield to avoid looking into Medusa's eyes, so the river running black and green might be a reference to the river Styx. In order to find Medusa's location he steals the eye of the Graeae who are her sisters and slays her. On his journey back home he saves and marries Andromeda who later dies and becomes a star, which i believe is where the dead will stare in joy and despair part is playing into the mythology. He finally returns and ends up killing the man still trying to marry his mother and is then banished as king but it is his actions that bring the end result of the prophecy his grandfather was foretold.
