Kenosis to Gnosis

Amaranth

 

The word Amaranth means an imaginary flower that never fades and that definition applied to the imaginary and lyrics of this song is saying that the spirit never fades.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The angel fallen from Heaven and is missing her eyes. The missing eyes represent spiritual blindless. The angel wings represent that she is from above and the white represents purity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 They take the angel back to a peasant village that is full of ignorant people who don't like higher forms of consciousness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He brings the angel to his house, but soon after the villagers come to take him away from her.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The villagers burn down the house the angel is in to get rid of the higher being in their midst. They prefer being the way they are.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The angel gets liberated when she dies. She rises above the physical world and above the ignorant peasants.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Baptised with a perfect name (See the lyrics to the song called Nemo to find out what the name means).
The doubting one by heart
Alone without himself (This seems to be talking about his soul. He's alone without the knowledge of his soul or himself. The angel in the music video may represent his soul).

War between him and the day (The "War between him an the day" represents the struggle between his body and his physical identity with the day, which represents the spirit and his true self).
Need someone to blame
In the end, little he can do alone (He can't achieve anything without the spirit).

You believe but what you see (What you see and experience shapes what you believe).
You receive but what you give (Give and you shall receive).

Caress the one, the Never-Fading rain in your heart (The never fading rain can refer to light and blessings. Rain is something that gives life and water represents purity, that's why it gets used as a metaphor for the spirit and it appears in other songs as well.)
- the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth (The amaranth is an imaginary flower that never fades and this represents the soul in this song. The amaranth or soul is hiding and caressing the one means get back in touch with it. The number one represents the spirit in numerology and "Caress the one" means caress the spirit).
In a land of the daybreak (The daybreak is the dawning of the light of the spirit).

Apart from the wandering pack (The man who takes the angel back into his house is "Apart from the wandering pack". He's seperating himself from the ignorant peasants).
In this brief flight of time
we reach For the ones who ever dare

You believe but what you see
You receive but what you give

Caress the one, the Never-Fading rain in your heart
- the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak

Caress the one, the Never-Fading rain in your heart
- the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak

Reachin', searchin' for something untouched (The untouched is the spirit, it remains untouched for anyone who's ignorant).
Hearing voices of the Never-Fading callin' (The Never-Fading callin' is the voice of the spirit. It never stops its calling).
Callin'...Callin'

Caress the one, the Never-Fading rain in your heart
- the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak

Caress the one, the Never-Fading rain in your heart
[Rain]
- the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
[Rain]
In a land of the daybreak...daybreak!

 

Nemo

 

Nemo means no one or nobody and by nobody I literally mean no body. This song is about the woman releasing herself from the bonds of the body and of ignorance. The imagery and imagery of this song are full of these hidden meanings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

She emerges out of mud and is filthy. This represents her soul being polluted and unclean by ignorance. The crucifix she puts on isn't because she's a Christian or religious, she puts it on because she wants death and resurrection. That's the original purpose of the crucifixion.

The Gospel of Philip (62:15), "When the pearl is cast down into the mud it becomes greatly despised, nor if it is anointed with balsam oil will it become more precious. But it always has value in the eyes of its owner. Compare the sons of God, wherever they may be. They still have value in the eyes of their father."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The strings she holds onto, which are controlled by crows, represents how she holds onto the things that control her in her life. The strings are not tied to her, but she holds onto them because of her own ignorance, she is oppressing herself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is her third eye when she is in ignorance. The iris has a skull in it because she is spiritually dead.
