      That line's been bothering me all month as deadlines approach. I tried using it as motivation to stay on top of things and not hold them off until the last minute, but everything kept going wrong and causing delays all month (so I guess it's a good thing that I did try to stay on top of things, or everything would have been late). God, March always sucks ass.

    Swept away by rhymes
    (Hypatia)
    Far away from the stench of the heavens

    And throw your holy rocks right at her

    It's the truth of candour shown
    Through a prism of deceit
    It's the continence of bishops
    With their choirboys en suite

    Some might now, some probably "googl'ed" it. "Kaiserion" is kinda tribute/requiem to Hypatia of Alexandria. She was a philosopher, mathematician and inventor and had a lot of moral authority and influence on political scene, and among the people. She is also called "martyr of science". She was sentenced to death by Cyril of Alexandria due to her contact with Orestes, viceroy of Egypt, and probably Cyril's jealousy of respect she had among the people of Alexandria.

      Tobias wanted it to be the first single. But the American record company didn't listen as they're already had decided that Call me little sunshine was supposed to be that. This is also why Tobias played it live before it was released because in his mind the decision was wrong and he had already prepared for Imperium and Kaisarion to start the conserts off. Every tour of every album always starts with the first two tracks on the current album.

    • @24fretsoffury
      @24fretsoffury 2 года назад +21

      Tobias spoke about this song and it’s meaning, I highly suggest looking it up. But the basics are - Hypatia was a female philosopher back in the Roman times. She was a brilliant scientist and mathematician, who taught philosophy and astronomy. She was horribly murdered by the early Christians, “who were like an insane cult at the time”. They then went on to burn the library of Alexandria, where we lost the most human knowledge in one fell swoop, and lost all early accounts.
      So this is drawing parallels between back then, and the recent attempted coup on the capital, and how “some” groups are heading for society.
      Also of course, “the noise of the righteous dogma that hides the Handmaid’s Tale” is super self explanatory if you have either read the books, or watched the show.

      I listened to Infestissumam today and it's obvious that Ghost has/have evolved. Tobias's vocals are better now and if you compare the lighter, faster songs of Infestissumam (e.g. Idolatrine) to the modern stuff I think the songwriting is more sophisticated too. But in terms of dark and gloomy songs nothing beats Infestissumam. Still, I think Impera is the best album since. It just works for me.

They are all different from each other which is what makes this group so good to me.

  • @Nergal665
    @Nergal665 7 месяцев назад +7

    This song is about Hypatia who was philosopher, teacher, astronomer, etc who lived in the 300s in Alexandria, Egypt. She was killed by Christians who believed she was a witch. This is back when Christianity was still s cult. The song treats Christianity as a cult that inhibits human progress & human potential. The chorus brings us back to to the present (Long Ago, Yet Too Close To Forever) to drive the point home that it's now & forever. A tale as old as mam himself. It is a very political song. Just like in the times of Hypatia, people today are clashing with the side effects of human progress. We stand at a crossroads as society. Either we will become more than human through our technological might or we will regress to our ignorant & primitive selves. (People see human progress as a threat to themselves but it also threatens the artibers of our social order. So no matter how much bread & circuses you give the masses, those in power will lose it. Another faction will inherit that control. The moment we split the atom, we lost the ability to believe in nonsense.
