Those lyrics are very thorough. Most Death lyrics are, especially on Symbolic. They're really great, meaningful and accurate. Simple yet sophisticated and to-the-point
Before anyone says this is an anti-religious song, it's not. Bobby Koeble says himself the song is about Chuck's neighbor. Chuck was never anti-religious, he knew it was something personal to people. His mother is a Christian, too. One opinion is that Chuck wasn't arguing about religion but individual flaws by people or those who use religion as a weapon. Other than that, he respected people's views. To quote him in an interview: "I don't have any problem with religion, but at the same time I'm not religious". I remember reading Chuck was proud of his parents religious heritage. Respect.
Religions are nothing more than government mind-control mechanisms. Religion and Spirituality are nothing alike. Here is a small breakdown: Religion (and churches) - What a group of people decide what God is And it's always "outwardly", and it's always in the past/future of Ego - What happened thousands of years ago and judgment in the future. If anyone doesn't fully agree with the mental "concepts" of the religion, those people are ridiculed and excluded from the group. No Spiritual experiences whatsoever. Spirituality - Everyone is invited. And if one is willing to go "INwardly" within themselves all the way, nobody shall be denied. ETERNAL NOW. Many direct Spiritual Experiences. And be free from the Prison of believing and into the infinite freedom of knowing and be-coming. The ego based thinking human mind can only function in duality. And duality is totally blind to everything when it comes to truths and experiencing them. Therefore, since all philosophies and ideologies come from the totally blind mind, then naturally all beliefs and all philosophies are false - as they all come from duality and in the illusions of time, as time is total illusion when it comes to truths. Therefore all your philosophies are total shams and worthless. Everything you believe is a total lie, because all beliefs are rooted in fear and fear is total illusion. The fearless believe nothing. Beliefs are nothing more than ego-attachments that blind. Which is what you make up in the blind mind as your identity, and it's all fake. All beliefs / philosophies / ideologies are nothing more than false masks for the false ego. As the ego (which is who you "think" you are), is total illusion. All the ideas of yourself are borrowed, borrowed from those who have absolutely no clue who they are. The human thinking mind is the source where all the bondage comes from. Truths can never be found there. As your mind is nothing more than the countless lies of society speaking through you, it is not the real you Logic and intellectualism will get you nowhere. Truths are far FAR beyond any logic and any intellectualism as logic is all rigid 90-degree angle thinking, which is anti-nature, anti-creation, anti-love, anti- Soul, anti - Spirit , Anti - Universal multi-dimensional truths that are far more evolved than the extremely limited and totally blind ego-based mind of duality. Look at it this way... The more that you think, the further away you are from Truths. So instead of thinking outside of the box, get rid of the box altogether. In a holographic Universe there are no boxes to think outside of. Enlightenment is the complete and total destruction of everything you thought to be true.. Enlightenment is the complete and total destruction of everything you thought to be true.. Enlightenment is the complete and total destruction of everything you thought to be true... Humans are not so much afraid of the unknown, as much as they are afraid of what they think they know coming to a bitter end. "Your reality is limited for the reason that your own understanding about the Universe is limited and incomplete. People are not afraid of the unknown as much as they are afraid to lose the old false identity illusion beliefs they have created for themselves & everything behind it. That are all lies of ego-attachments. The stupidity of your fear of death and your attachment to life and time causes all your greed, separations, selfishness, delusions, prejudices, ignorance, blindness to Nature, and self-hatred."- The Universe
Dragonaut111 Well even in the bible if you read Romans there is a lot of talk about the "armor" of God. That means defense opposed to offense. Yeah there's a sword, but it's not meant for people, rather, the forces of evil. :)
@Simon Belmont Imagine a professor teaching his interpretation of a theory to a student and instead of understanding the professor's interpretation, the student CREATES his own interpretation of the theory using the basics of the theory and says that its his professor's interpretation. Will I call this delusional? Yes. Do I call it creative? Yes. Sometimes we are deluded by our own imagination, Imagination, I feel is a two edged sword.
So much love was poured into this video, and it shows. Death were so ahead of their times in terms of musicianship and concepts illustrated in their songs .
Don't know how you made the revolving Death thing, but you did an awesome job dude editing this vid. Best I've seen, thanks, wish they all had this touch to em.
This is a great song, I wish all of Death's late stuff was like this. I bet Evil Chuck wrote it in one sitting, and it all just flowed out. Sometimes the best songs are like that. I feel like he tried too hard to make his last 3 albums complex.
Dude this is an amazing video! Right before I typed in Death-Crystal Mountain lyrics I was wondering if anyone had any sweet ass videos instead of just lyrics in the description and here it is! Mad props!!
Wow, I really just put this on to listen to in bed. It was pulling me in, and so well done I loved how you flash Chucks face to the riffs!! This is fking awesome!! A+++++++++ All the Chuck p
No, this is song about Chuck's neighbour who always called the cops whenever he was playing, and just gave him hard time all together. Her house is the crystal mountain.
That is intelligent artwork on top of a GREAT song. Nice touch calling the pigs in DC hypocrites. I love Death, you have my utmost respect for the fab job that you did. Keep up the good work. RituAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!
politics is a cult, worshipping ideals, ended up in bloodbaths and destruction, while pretending delivering us from the obscurantism of the religion our ancestors lived on. Basically politic is like a religion but with a sense of superiority towards it that make them feel self justified when ppl does horrible acts for their cause
pero que excelente video, yo se que la cancion es una pieza maestra pero joder tambie tomen en cuenta el trabajo de la persona que hizo este video, los demas videos de letras son nada mas una portada y las lyrics apareciendo pero esto me hizo sentir emocion, no se xD muy buen trabajo
I wonder if chuck choose the words "Crystal Mountain" to represent that although religion is seen as always clean and pure (like crystals) it can be used for the worst "Inside crystal mountain Evil takes its form Inside crystal mountain Commandments are reborn"
