"Let us prepare, and let us study Truth in all its aspects, trying not to ignore any of them, if we do not wish, when the hour will have struck, to fall into the abyss of the unknown. It is useless to rely on chance, and to await the approaching intellectual and psychic crisis with indifference if not with total incredulity, saying to oneself that if worse comes to worst, the tide will carry us quite naturally to the shore; for there is a strong likelihood of the tide stranding but a corpse! The battle will be fierce, in any case, between brutal materialism and blind fanaticism on the one hand, and on the other philosophy and mysticism - that more or less thick veil of the Eternal Truth. It is not materialism that will have the upper hand." H.P. Blavatsky La Revue Theosophique, March 1889 Fil, yep. #QcumberSquad #TOP - Fil, I'm off back to the study.
You were curious about the meaning of red page that he holds in his hands. It's actually Scarlet Letter, a neat callback to Tyler Joseph's solo song 'Taken by Sleep', a really old one. Kind of makes Vignette a cycle in itself just like every other tracks and/or album as a whole
As mentioned Tyler said he sees this song as about addiction. Addiction can be to many things not just drugs or alcohol. In an interview somewhere Tyler said he felt he had an addictive personality which is a reason he doesn’t drink ….. he talked about his addiction to I think it was Candy crush (or something similar) 🤣🤣. But in seriousness, though he doesn’t use any addictive substance he understands addiction
Yeah, this whole album is picking up so many little threads from all of their tracks and weaving a master picture. Lay the fibers side by side and you'll begin to understand. I love, love, love the layers in this one and really really love the falsettos! Love your commentary, too, Fil! :) ❤|-/💛
So happy to see you doing these Fil! The Livestream they did where they premiered the album and the videos is worth watching as Tyler provides insight into several of the songs and the Lore. It's here on youtube.
Also Mac Miller (edit: Mac Lethal) dropped a dis track on Tom MacDonald. Musicly it's pretty good but I'm not a fan of where he took it but that was dropped yesterday. Not sure if Tom is going to hit back or not yet
If you are going to wear this blue hoody, then by law, you absolutely must cover the song from AWOL Nation “Panoramic View” and you, by law must wear the blue hoodie while reacting to this song!!! BY LAW!!!
