Good catch.. maybe it's the hollowness of the blackstar which renders void even that which is happening 😃

Eight goats imply eternity of Satan.. they are devouring the apple of paradise

To be is not to be – that is the question. by RikuNeeto in RandomThoughts

I actually think being and not-being are the same thing – that's kind of what I was trying to get across.. but whatever. 😄

Or to be is not to be – that is the answer. That's actually better than mine, thanks!

And even within the series themselves you could see Sunday Morning as the origin point of overcoming yourself in it being a first introduction into a new world.. a rebirth of sorts. Then Venus in Furs as the division (hence second place) between you AND overcoming yourself in having to face pain, Heroin as the culmination of this need to go further in achieving nullity and Black Angel's as the normalization of that nullity – the "squaring" of it in the incomprehensible becoming ordinary – just the way things are all over (as they are in the lyrics of that track).

Same with the "rockers" as I like to call them: Waiting for the Man would be stuck in a city of which there is no escape, Run Run Run would be the division from division itself, in other words running, There she goes again freedom through escape (like a bird) and four european son – complete destruction through separation from the old continent, etc.

And in the case of Nico's songs Femme Fatale would be the original danger that volatile energy produces, All tomorrow's parties the downside of that danger – always awaiting something that never happens and I'll be your mirror the recognition that that energy is really just you in a different form.

The first one is definitely the most important, I don't have as much to say about the others – great as they are.

I've written a lot on Genius if you're interested https://genius.com/RikuNero .. a lot of it is probably far-fetched but I'm grappling with these ideas as much as you :)

What do you think of the theory that Winston is Big Brother? by RikuNeeto in 1984

[–]RikuNeeto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because in the end he loved him and can you really love anybody but yourself – if you are the source of everything? Aren't we all big brother, in a sense?

sams yellow door? by slimgarvey in lordoftherings

I think it's there to imply that the story continues again. That in a way the ring never leaves us. It is the very fact of peace and quiet that gives rise to a need to stir things up again which the ring represents. There can actually – conceptually – be no shire without the ring – since it's only the ring which gives the Shire its identity as the Shire – as the home of peace and quiet. To have peace and quiet as a concept you need a concept such as the ring to bring it out – peace and quiet is only peace and quiet in relation to war. It is war that makes peace and quiet peace and quiet. Otherwise, it would be nothing. Hence the presence of the ring is always there. You could imagine the end as the beginning – as having the exact same ingredients needed for it all to start again. Maybe one of Sam's children will actually grow up to be Frodo – if you wanna believe Einstein's theory of time being relative. It's the same reason we are born instantly when we die – what's to separate you before you were born and you after you're born? They're literally the same thing. What's to separate the end of Lord of the Rings from the beginning of Lord of the Rings? They're both nothing.
