OMG me 2

[@vlbonnie]

To me this song feels like it's about being suicidal. For me, lines like "I could use this vessel as a sacrificial lamb...and escape in a checkmate" sounds like someone sacrificing their life to get out of a bad situation by any means necessary, even if that means is death. They become so disillusioned with everything around them, the way things "just are," that they want to take other people with them to freedom, thinking it's better that people die than suffer at the cruel hands of life. The religious theming feels like it ties in to a martyr complex--if I die, things will be better for everyone around me. It could also be linked to the idea of "things will be better in the afterlife." Other things like "secrets hidden underneath our tattered arms" call to mind images of self harm. Or maybe that's just me talking from a dark place and hearing things I can relate to personally. Anyways the song is beautiful, big fan of your work.

[@mangoesd1430]

this alligns with what my interpretation was so ty for proving me im not totally delulu 😭

[@PastryPuff9339]

That’s what I thought as well, especially with the lines about telling the truth resulting in being ‘eaten alive’ could be related to the misconceptions, prejudice, and abuse towards people with suicidal thoughts

[@the_nothingness]

Lyrics: I know I'll never die I know I'll never die I know I'll never die Define my life, despite the gods' pathetic cry The real world is ours The real world is ours The real world is ours Can you hear them talk behind the concrete star? I see the way things are, the way our names lack certain charm, the way our faces still alarm, the secrets written underneath our tattered arms, the ceiling's closing in, my mind is dyed in eosin, and counting now the many sins that place the shame to pray for reign before his grin They've played us all for fools, for in their everlasting rule, faux death is but a dirty tool to hide the right of night disguised as cyclic moons I'll face it all alone 'cus no one else could ever know divinity and indigo expose the rose to freely interpose If I take the blade of Abraham, I could use this vessel as a sacrificial lamb I'll awake my fate to calculate and escape and escape and escape (in a checkmate) This world is decorated by the hands of lies If I open up the walls to show the astral sea, then would that be alright? If I break this body into bits, I'll never die I'll bring the ones I love to my eternity and demythologize my lines Ultimate truth is shrouded from our very sight, so what could be the reason behind every chance at a god given right? (Right...) I know... this story's a neverending shine, so what could be the reason behind why my blood turned to wine? If I take the blade of Abraham, I could use this vessel as a sacrificial lamb I'll awake my fate to calculate and escape and escape and escape (in a checkmate) This world is decorated by the hands of lies If I open up the walls to show the astral sea, then would that be alright? If I break this body into bits, I'll never die I'll bring the ones I love to my eternity and demythologize my lines I'm scared my fear's locking up the holy sky If I told the world the truth of this reality, I'd be eaten alive My head's been bugged, and no matter how I try, I'll never get a chance to reach eternity or even say goodbye This world is decorated by the hands of lies If I open up the walls to show the astral sea, then would that be alright? If I break this body into bits, I'll never die I'll bring the ones I love to my eternity and demythologize my lines (Ah~) To keep us safe, I'll make us break for our eternal wake I know I'll never die I know I'll never die I know I'll never die Define my life, despite the gods' pathetic cry The real world is ours The real world is ours The real world is ours Can you hear them talk behind the concrete star?

"Honey I'm Home" by GHOST and "Hell's Comin' With Me" by Poor Man's Poison are similar!

i think hellfire by the mechanisms might have similar vibes! it's a concept album so some lines might not make sense without the context of the rest of the album (which you should also listen to btw it fucks severely) but i think it's still good out of context

The part when she says, "If I take the blade of Abraham, I can use this vessel as a sacrificial lamb." Means she is gonna sacrifice herself to a higher being to become whole or immortal.

Sneakers on a nun Better run better run Or she'll get you, hun And you'll be done

[@gayternatee]

man that's the best thing i've heard

[@Ivaan-v1z]

For some reason, I think that this song is about a character knowing that is inside a videogame, with Abraham being one game character and God being the game's creator, and the character knows that if she tell the others the truth she might be eliminated from the game because the creator wants it to be a normal game, also, I don't know what does "I know I'll never die" means but ok

[@queen-lilyorjiako268]

Maybe she is a playable character? Or otherwise knows for the story's integrity the creator won't kill them.

[@taylorlipinski4048]

Going by your theory maybe the "I know I'll never die" line comes from even if she's killed somehow (shot by the player, killed in the cutscene, fall off a cliff, etc) she'll just respawn back as if nothing happened.

[@invisilibrarian]

ayo quick theory bit Vane- near the end of the song (2:51), is "holy sky" meant to be like trauma of any kind? Like, humans/mortals are locked out of heaven and cant go there (until they die ig), right? that parallels to someone being locked out of their traumatic memories/unable to access them unless they "open up the walls"! ALSO ALSO- by having their head being "bugged", is that the prosecutor conditioning the victim to not be able to "tell the world the truth"??????? AnYWAy---byebye

[@-Apothecary-]

My partner and I are both eldest children who grew up carrying the early-parent loads with our siblings. We want multiple children, but we agreed we'd never put childcare on the eldest & middle unless they directly ask to help. I hate when people are like "You're the oldest, you're responsible for when your siblings do something wrong." Because it puts so much pressure on the oldest and encourages the younger kids to act out because they don't get the blame for it. I'm only 3 years older than my sister, and 5 years older than my brother; But I remember a time in high school where if my siblings didn’t eat when they were supposed to, I was the one in trouble. I had to make sure they ate at lunch and dinner because they'd stick themselves to their tablets and forget to eat. And it wasn't like they were babies or disabled and needed support, they were 10 and 12 and knew how to make food for themselves perfectly well. But if they didn’t eat, I was in trouble. If they didn't get schoolwork done, I was in trouble. If they didn't go to bed on time, I was in trouble. And I had these responsibilities since I was younger than them, for both them and myself. My partner's case is slightly different, because their brothers are 9 and 11 years younger than them. They also have severe learning disabilities due to genetic issues, so neither of them are likely to ever be able to live independently. But my partner's mother puts a lot of expectations on them to maintain the house and chores and clean nearly everything 24/7 because of how held up she is with the boys. And my partner, despite being 17, has been withheld from getting a drivers permit or a job because their mom wants to keep them dependent on her so they stay and help with their brothers. We are depserate to avoid this with our kids, because we want them to experience childhood at its fullest. Yes, there are some base responsibilities and certain ages, but if I shouldn't be a parent until I'm fully grown then you shouldn't be either. So we want all of them to care for each other, and we want to establish a mutual feeling of care and responsibility rather than putting that just on the eldest. If we need to step away from a kid for a moment, instead of "Eldest, watch youngest please" 24/7 we'd switch it up. It'd be silly, putting the baby with the eldest and being like "Youngest, keep an eye on eldest for a moment", but we feel it'd keep the responsibility load from being overbearing and establish a mutual bond of caring for each other rather than one expecting the other to care for them. That's for the parent's only.

[@dexterbodford1125]

Super vague song. So I wanna take a crack at it! Now I'm almost definitely wrong but this might be a story about a nun who lived through the Salem trials. So, here's my best guess of what the story is! Basically, a young nun, watching the Salem trials go by, starting to get terrified from the lies and deception flowing through the place. Eventually, she decides to take up witch craft herself in order to investigate. But while doing so she discovers forbidden and taboo secrets. One of the secrets would be immortality, naturally, she takes the opportunity first thing she sees it. But of course soon after, she discovers corruption running through the church, and soon sees it everywhere else as well. And eventually her witchcraft is spotted and she is interrogated, but she knows that they'll attempt to burn her at the stake if she says anything, so she eventually starts to have an internal breakdown; knowing the corruption flowing through the world, having the possibility to stop it, but in the end unable to face the fire that would await her if she was actually to speak up. But like I said, probably wrong.

But Having my autoimmune disease be a very big factor in my horrible mental health (im much better now dw /gen) and how they play so hand in hand with each other, this song hits some notes very close to home for me hsdjkdhf.
