    In Roman mythology, Mercury (aka Hermes in Greek mythology) was the messenger of the Gods and the swiftest out of all of them.
    Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and has the shortest year, hence why she's a messenger in flames.
    Clever.

    Astrophysicist here, can confirm Mercury speaks the truth: Sol will become a red giant and expand to consume Gaia in ~7.5 billion years. The Gods of the Sky and the Underworld, Jupiter and Saturn, will reign supreme in new habitable zone (Saturn won't have beautiful rings anymore, sadly). Stay tuned for more cosmic horror!

    “Peering at her scarred face” - Mecury’s surface has a decent number of craters
    “Breathless yet she remains” - Mercury doesn’t have much of an atmosphere
    “Calamitous embrace” refers to how the sun will eventually grow much larger, consuming several planets in our solar system before finally collapsing into a white dwarf.

      Considering that the figure is literally wearing the astrological symbol for Mercury, yeah, this is a safe bet. The philological breakdown is nice though. One other observation would be the use of the word "messenger" and the winged ornaments about her head, both of which allude to the Mercury of Roman mythology as the messenger of the gods.

    I love the symbolism! Let's go: "scarred face" - Mercury has the biggest craters of the solar system planets "Caloris" /
    "Breathless yet she remains" - Mercury moves across the sky faster than any other planet. /
    "Facing the flames" and "Messenger in flames" - closest planet to the Sun /
    Conveying fate - Mercury will be the first planet to face Sun's ending/
    The stars will witness your empyreal ballet - Mercury usually is just seen by western horizon after sunset or eastern horizon before sunrise, usually in twilight....So it's pretty difficult to see it compared to the likes of Venus. //
    Also it has references to Apocalypse: Revelation 16:8, KJV: "And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire." /
    When Cepheid says that Sol will consume, Goddess will fall, fires will scorch Gaia's heart, Luna's eclipse... celestial downfall -- it's a direct reference to Prophecies: "..the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place." Revelation 6: 12, 14.
    Revelation 8 -6,10: When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
    And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them(.....)
    Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them.
    The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down on the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.
    The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
    The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water- the name of the star is Wormwood.
    What leads me to the picture: angels are considered God's messengers ( Greek "angelos" means ‘'messenger’'), therefore feathers around the Girl not only represent the god Mercury from the Mythology, but also the fact that she's a pure (white clothing) being closest to higher powers and its sayings.
    The Sun image also resembles divine language, what reminds me of the prophecies in Daniel's book: "Suddenly the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lampstand in the royal palace. The king watched the hand as it wrote. 6 His face turned pale and he was so frightened that his legs became weak and his knees were knocking.
    The king summoned the enchanters, astrologers[b] and diviners. Then he said to these wise men of Babylon, “Whoever reads this writing and tells me what it means will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain placed around his neck, and he will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom.” - Daniel 5-5,7"
    Nothing goes unnoticed from me Cepheid! Can't wait for other songs!(ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

  • @solarraign
    @solarraign 3 года назад +172

    Could be wrong, but the song seems to be about Mercury telling Gaia and Venus about their fate being related to the Sun/Sol's death.
    When the sun starts dying, it means it has run out of Hydrogen from its core to burn off as fuel, so it will start burning off the Hydrogen in its shell instead, rapidly expanding with its luminosity also steadily increasing, this is called the red giant stage of the sun's death. I'll be explaining the relation between the Sun's death and the song:
    *➢"Light searing the sky":*
    ⎯When the sun starts expanding, it will "burn off" the Earth's atmosphere, AKA "light searing the sky".
    *➢"Menacing gaze peering at her scarred face":*
    ⎯"Scarred face" would be Earth's surface becoming oceans of lava with the atmosphere lost to space, therefore its "scarred".
    *➢"Breathless yet she remains":*
    ⎯"Breathless" could mean the loss of the atmosphere, due to it being burnt off by the Sun's death/expansion.
    *➢"Facing the flames, messenger conveying fate":*
    ⎯The messenger here is Mercury since in Roman mythology Mercury is the gods' messenger. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun therefore it is "facing the flames".
    *➢"Sol will consume, goddess will fall":*
    ⎯The Sun, in its red giant stage, will consume Mercury, Venus & Gaia/Earth, "goddess" might be Venus in this, she will fall as she's consumed by the Sun's flames.
    *➢"Fires will scorch Gaia's heart":*
    ⎯Gaia's heart would be the Earth's core I would assume.
    *➢"Luna's eclipse":*
    ⎯Googling the definition of "Eclipse" you'd get something that would be self-explanatory here: "an obscuring of the light from one celestial body by the passage of another between it and the observer or between it and its source of illumination", AKA the Sun's flames will "eclipse" Luna/the moon.
    *➢"Will not forestall":*
    ⎯This just means that this is inevitable and cannot be stopped.
    *➢"Celestial downfall":*
    ⎯Self-explanatory, the 3 planets: Mercury, Venus and Earth will be in the Sun's flames, while the other planets will most likely not be engulfed.
    *➢"
    You cant flee from your fate":*
    ⎯Mercury/The messenger is telling Venus and Gaia that they cannot escape this destiny.
    *➢"Nothing will save you from calamitous embrace":*
    ⎯Nothing can be done to stop Venus and Earth from being swallowed by the Sun's raging flames.
    *➢"A destiny etched in stone, written and bound":*
    ⎯This is saying that their destiny is already determined, "Etched in stone" could also mean that it cannot be changed or altered.
    *➢"Dance your encore with grace":*
    ⎯Encore would be the repetition of the planetary orbit around the Sun, "Dance your encore" is just Earth's and Venus' Orbit around Sol.
    *➢"The stars will witness your empyreal ballet":*
    ⎯Empyreal Ballet is just fancy words for "Celestial Orbit".
    *➢"Erupt into violent rage, embers and ash remains":*
    ⎯Sol's eruption into rapid expansion and steady increase of luminosity that will engulf the 3 planets will leave nothing but embers and ash, in Earth's case it will actually leave oceans of lava and metal oxides but I digress.
    ⎯EDIT I: forgot to mention the artwork, the person in the image (I would assume to be Mercury), is "holding" the 3 planets (evident by the orbit lines around Sol/the Sun), the orange one would be Mercury, pink would be Venus and the blue one with a crescent orbiting it is, of course, Earth. The symbol on her crown (?) is Mercury's symbol ☿, Venus' symbol would of course be ♀, Earth's would be ⊕ and the Sun would be ⊙.
    Hope this covered it all! If I made a mistake or should've mentioned another point LMK.

    May be reading into this too much but here are the references I've noticed.
    Breathless - refers to mercury having no atmosphere. the lack of atmosphere also explains 'the stars will witness' as they would always be visible, like on the surface of the moon.
    Luna's eclipse - is likely referring to a solar eclipse where the moon shields the earth from the suns rays.
    Encore - might be a reference to the unusual day/year cycle, mercury has a day that is two years long and therefore it could be said to 'repeat its performance' every single day.
    Empyrean - refers to the highest circle of heaven consisting of fire and light, mercury orbits closest to the sun and is exposed to both heat and light more than any other planet.
    Erupt into violent rage - this may reference the sunrise on mercury, as the frozen nighttime surface is exposed to sunlight its temperature would increase by several hundred degrees causing rapid expansion.
    Messenger - could refer not only to Hermes/mercury, but also to the space probe MESSENGER which collected valuable readings from mercury.
    Lastly: this may not be a reference, but 'the empyreal ballet' was a prog rock album from the late 70s, while it seems like a tenuous connection the cover art would be incredibly appropriate to convey mercury's temperature extremes.

    I theorize we will might get songs about the sun (mentioned as sol. Sun in Spanish and various languages) and the moon (mentioned as luna in both goddess and here). Like it's kinda weird that considering Gaia was also mentioned in goddess if I'm not wrong it's possible that after this we will get either a song about sun (maybe a leader of the cosmic planet goddess?) or about moon (maybe a vice leader of sorts. This is due to the fact that the moon shines by functioning as some sort of mirror of the sun using its light to shine) but maybe I'm just theorizing

      @cecilusbrize4679 3 года назад +7

      The more I listen the more I feel there's a story here and I like it, though similarly to your statement this is all just theorizing.
      Sol:
      Has been referred to almost purely as a force of nature so far, with characters either hyping themselves up by saying they have already overcome Sol's heat (Goddess and Gaia) or that eventually it will destroy them all (Messenger in Flames)
      Mercury: seems to either be subordinate to Sol (if they do turn out to be an individual) or simply the most fatalistic of the bunch, denouncing her fellow celestials for their hubris in believing they could overcome fate. Makes sense as being the closest to the Sun, she be the first to be consumed.
      Venus: seems to be the top dog under the Sun as while Gaia, Luna and even Sol are referred to by name Venus is called Goddess by Mercury. Though as mentioned in the song, even she will fall in the face of Sol's rage.
      Gaia: seems to be looking at her sister Venus' throne and seems to be the most industrious with her world, as while Venus and Mercury talk about their position in the heavens in relation to Sol, Gaia boasts about how she molded the Earth to her liking despite the Sun's rays seeking its ruin.

    This song was amazing. Especially the theme behind it of the sun and the fact it will one day go supernova in a "cataclysmic embrace." And wipe out most if not all our planets.

      Well nktnreally supernova, our sun doesnt have enough mass for something like that, instead it will consume all the hydrogen in the solar system and grow becoming a red giant destroying Mercury, Venus and posibly earth in the process, then once all the hydrogen is gone it will shrink into a white dwarve, then after a couple billion years devolve into a brown dwarve and finaly die as a black dwarve
      Thats it if we don't stop the sun before that happens

    Every time I hear the part “Celestial Downfall” I get shivers down my spine. It’s just such a good song. Though every song on this channel is an amazing song.

    Noticing that while Mercury is contemptuously predicting the destruction of Venus, Gaia, and Luna...
    Mercury is the closest planet to Sol.
    If Sol goes supernova, Mercury will be the first to die.
    I can't help but feel her prophecy is "If I cannot escape my death, none of you deserve to either."

      The sun does not have enough mass to go super nova, it will just grow in size and consume the inner planets, that if we don't stop it from ever reaching that state

      Basically: "If I'm gonna die, I'm taking y'all with me!"

    I know this is about the sun expanding and eventually swallowing the planets in our solar system, but after playing Elden Ring it fits the Flame of Frenzy ending really well.

    I love this so much, because I am a lover of astronomy.
    But idk why, I get the feeling that as Mercury is telling Gaia the message that... Her panet is basically going to die, she has this tone that she is almost glad that its going to die, as if all the planets envious of Gaia because she is the only one harboring life? Especially when she tells her to "Dance her encore with grace" it almost sounds like she's kinda threatening her...Idkkk... Seems like it 👀

    When I first heard this I thought it was a cover of the No More Heroes main theme
