| A.F.I.- Miseria Cantare (The Beginning) Interpretation: This is a reference to the Nephilim, born from angel and human- condemned since birth, whether they are good or bad. Many of them become evil, if they are not evil by nature, because they know that they have no hope for salvation. They become hateful and bitter. Davey makes a lot of references to them. For example, the song "The Nephilim", and the lines in another song "I watched the stars fall from the sky- I held a fallen star and it wept for me, dying. I watched the fallen stars encircle me, now as they cry..." The Bible refers to angels as stars. So, fallen stars- Nephilim. This is a song of initiation. Love your hate, your faith lost- You are now one of us. Love your hate, your faith lost- You are now one, one of us. They're telling this person that it's alright- give in and feel good about this hatred searing through him. His faith is lost, so rebel. He is now one of them. Nothing from nowhere, I'm no one at all. Radiate, recognize one silent call as we all form one dark flame- incinerate... He is nothingness, in a way- none of us are significant in the grand scheme of things. Where do we all agree that we come from? Nothingness. Originally, we were once nothing- and still aren't, in a way. But yet we have a form of substance, an energy radiating from us all. He exudes this idea, this energy with it, and responds to the need to rebel, as he and all the others of his kind come together. They all form one dark flame- one dark beauty, one black light, something so eerily beautiful yet destructive, if you can see that. The nephilim will bring ruin to all they touch, and many of us will let them- would you say no to something so beautiful it could break you to only look at? Nothing from nowhere I'm no one at all Radiate, recognize one silent call as we all form one dark flame... As well all form one dark flame... As we all... Love your hate, your faith lost- You are now one of us. Love your hate, your faith lost- You are now one, one of us. This person has fallen, has realized what he is fully- he is now accepted as one of the dark angels. Maybe I am reading too much into it, but I see it as a running theme in some of these newer works. |
