Once I read @wes4736 4 months ago wrote this, then I just quoted it as;

My buddy a couple days ago showed me this album, we were talking about albums that tell a whole story. And sure, the album probably is just a general call to revolution, but I was still very inspired and invested in the story I had made while listening (granted, my buddy and I were absolutely smoked up doing this and for the first few songs I also drew rough sketches I could paint further to encapsulate the "Revelation")

See, the singer isn't the same character in each song. When we begin with take a bow, I saw a force of condemnation recounting the ills of humanity being lobbied on a personal level, the culpability of man's sins being castigated on whoever is being sung to. For further reference, we'll call this character being sung to "The Man."

Starlight and Supermassive Black hole are still the same entity, however as I listened I felt like I gained a clearer picture as to what this force is. It is a malevolent figure that cloaks himself in godliness, the devil incarnate revealing his gleeful destruction while also provoking the Man who's seeing the revelation with the simultaneous futility of his situation and masquerading that with the promises of false love.

Map of the problematique was a bit hard to classify perspective when I first heard it, but I think at this point we merge from the entity to the Man as he observes the day to day of humanity as a whole following the revelations, comparing them to take a bow.

Soldiers song and invincible are two halves of a whole. He has taken the entities promises for granted, he has been fooled by the lie that this entity is God and he has a crisis on what exactly he's feeling before consoling himself in the, what I think is initially a self aware lie that he can do all that must be done until by the end of invincible what was at first the coping mechanism is now a firm truth in the mind of the man.

Assassin, exo-politics, and city of delusion is the man now trying to spread to others the same revelation the entity gave him. Firmly believing that the entity was God, he resolutes himself to fight God using the same destructive methods the entity first described from all humanity to personally blame him back in take a bow. These songs are a descent into madness, because he's had to give up so much to have what's been revealed to him, NOBODY has the right to be innocent.

Hoodoo starts off as more of the same before the latter half of the song kicks in, and it's as though the man suddenly gains lucidity again, the personality of the man in Soldiers Poem returns, and in his moments of clarity he recounts what he might have done differently, and what he is to do. It was also really cool to see this songs lyrics literally narrate nearly verbatim what I thought was going on before.

Knights of Cydonia is the final test. The whole intro I was literally on the edge of my seat, will he retain his lucidity? will the man prevail and right his wrongs? Will he truly reject the entity by refusing to embody the condemnations he's been personally blamed for?

He doesn't. I remember when the lyrics kicked in again, I had quite literally exclaimed out loud "He's failed!" He embraces the madness, he does exactly as the entity first described because that's what the entity wants. In the end, the man dies in what's little more than a suicide which he's fooled himself into thinking was the righteous path. As the refrains slowly change from being sombre to being reaffirming, I saw the man foreseeing his end and coming to the conclusion that this is how his end must come, accepting his demise.

The story ended very bittersweet. The man lost, the entity won. He was tricked into the trap that was set up for him at the very start despite thinking that what he was doing was fighting against what the entity had to say.

But the beauty comes into that we ALL see different stories. I asked my buddy what story he saw after I recounted my tale, and he saw something different. He saw two alternating characters, one calm and one rash who were companions (he described it as a pseudoparental relationship, though they don't need to be related, only share a somewhat similar dynamic) before the album, but meet at the albums start. The junior, rash party was asking how the other dared to return, and the senior comes for forgiveness which is initially rejected. However during invincible, they party together once again, as the junior party has to be restrained in their union by the senior party. In the end they resolute themselves that they have done the right thing in the end, and die in a blaze of glory.

I really liked his story too, Idunno how else to describe it other than "Breaking Bad: Good Ending," because when he told me his tale, that's how I thought of it. The Western album cover didn't help dissuade the comparisons either lol.

If you guys actually took the time to read all this, thanks! I wanna hear your stories, too. What do you hear In the album?
