      If you had a chance to have a million dollars, but people must die, there would be many unmarked graves. Unless you simply are above/ separate from human emotion, we all would do something horrible to further our own leads/homes. And would definitely see if anyone would agree with us. And and soon as any proof that “we did that right thing” comes out, any worry about what was sacrificed for it would be gone.

    I feel like another thing with that "For whom love is unconditional" line is that you have to pay your way into the "unconditional" love. If you're part of the "In" crowd, the people that are truly devoted, then you get treated exceptionally well, but as soon as you falter you get tossed aside for those who are more willing.

    I currently believe (although I haven't played the entirety of the game) that the being talking to the Lamb over the tarot cards isn't truly a mentor or patron figure, just an amoral bystander to this universe who can see that the Lamb is both a being semi-willingly possessed by the Red Crown and a figure being controlled in a video game and is asking what the Lamb's (and indirectly the player's) beliefs on free will and destiny are out of legitimate curiosity rather than any interest in manipulating events.

    During the part with the Tarot cards he says;
    "The cards you want are OFTEN DRAWN but SELDOM EVER DEALT" - You have an idea for your future but are never given the opportunity to see it (a dealer draws your cards but only deals the ones they want)

  • @PowerSkunk92
    @PowerSkunk92 Год назад +9

    I like how every time the Lamb does something overtly evil or manipulative to his cultists, he's shown in the red-eye look. The brief glimpse of it in the confessional is very much telling, since many real-world cult leaders use "confidential" discussions like that with their followers to manipulate and blackmail them into doing their will. It's a blatant violation of trust but by this time the convert is so indoctrinated and brainwashed that they have no defense against it.
    Overall, Stupes' portrayal of a cult leader is terrifyingly accurate.

    Around 12:30 what you may be referring to is 'word salad'; confused or unintelligible mixture of seemingly random words and phrases. If a person's speech use of it is unintentional, it's usually a sign of a possible mental disorder.
    However in this instance (and in context of the purpose of it in the song) 'narcissistic word salad' is a type of purposefully confusing speech, using circular reasoning, logical fallacies and other rhetorical devices to disorient and manipulate a person or group. Which makes sense considering for most of the song the happy notes, fast pace, and tones can distract from a lot of what's being said until the end of it. That 'point of no return moment' when a casual listener can actually follow the lyrics now, and they're grim, but it's the 'end' of the song (and the audiences' involvement in the cult) so it's too late.

  • @cartoonmaster2401

    "Ne're the wealthy ever left ground"
    The amount of cleverness that line has is amazing:

    A cult leader would twist that to get all of their followers to give all their money away.

    Omg, I laughed at the Ghost Rider comment... it isn't as far off as you might think! The Sheep wasn't evil (at first), he was about to be unjustly killed, and was saved by "He who waits beneath". But he was possessed by the crown which gives him great powers (ghost rider power) in exchange for killing the "Old gods" who imprisoned him (Hell''s bounty hunter).
    Of course, just like the Devil likes to use honeyed words to corrupt, over the course of the game you get tons of ways to do evil in exchange for quick and easy power. Most sheep fall, because gaining that power through normal means takes a LOT longer, and without it you wont succeed in killing the Old gods. You CAN take the Power of the crown and use it for good, but that is the hardest way to play.

      Also an interesting line at 9:48 "we've never met an yet we meet again" which is actually said in-game, though it may be a reference to how he knew you'd show up due to him basically using the tarrot cards to predict the future or something.
      "The cards we want are often drawn but seldom ever dealt" is probably saying the chance for what you want to happen is often possible, but rarely occurs.
      The guy in game does offer advice and uses the cards to boost your abilities in combat areas, but doesn't really take any direct action in-game.

    So the guy with the tarot cards says something a long the lines of "Your cards are often drawn, but rarely dealt." This basically is telling me that you make your own chooses and aren't bound by a destiny. As the song goes on to ask if the Lamb even believes in the idea of destiny or fate, I would say that is a good take of lyrics.

    adding some extra analysis for tarot guy's bit incase anyone's interested:
    the tarot reader is this owl man named Clauneck who believes fate is nothing but an unchangeable straight line, as told to him by the cards. what he's saying in the lyrics is essentially "are you doing this because you want to or because you have no other choice?" alongside just overall questioning the lamb's moral compass. the line "pray that they may shift amidst the rhapsody of haro's wings" refers to the fact that the character Haro provides context to *why* the one who waits is imprisoned in the first place, which happens to reveal that toww is mainly the one in the wrong and not the bishops. i think he's speaking in a complete nonsense way because of his weirdly poetic way of talking ingame.

  • @Momo_Minomo
    @Momo_Minomo 9 месяцев назад +1

    The line about "Pray you might remain upon the list of all the cherished chosen children for whom love is unconditional" isn't saying he's recruiting literal children but refers to the habit of religions and cults to call the faithful the "children" of god or to call the head priest their "father". Using the template of a parent and child relationship encourages blind devotion and obedience on the congregation's part with the promise of being cherished and protected like a beloved child in return by the god or cult leader. After all, children are young and far too naïve to make big decisions for themselves, so it's best to leave the decisions in your "father's" hands since he's so much bigger and wiser, right? /s It also carries with it the unspoken agreement that your "father" has the right to punish you for disobedience.

    With your conclusion of trickery to simply put the wool up

    Yes the lamb action are out of place but the tarot reader has carried a natural pace
    Leaving the oil at the door as he discusses the fate
    Talking on the cult leaders choices as what path the lamb will take
    Mayhaps a result from swimming to shallow in a pool biases
    Quick to latch onto meaning setup by higher things

    As a lack of bar bring broken is first thing that drew me to this reaction

    also it's not clear if the old god in chains is a dark god or more evil then the other four, he was one of a pantheon of five but the other four ganged up on him and bound him, Then to halt of prahpace that would free the red crown they other four started massacring any sheep/lamb they could find.
