circumstantial tree Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I really haven't studied the lyrics on this album too much so it's hard to say which is most apt for me. Nor have I been too interested in the underlying story. The music seems to be capturing my attention the most this time around. Plus, as is usual, I have my own abstract interpretations of the songs.

Mystic Slipperman Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 The Garden and The Wreckers are the two that seem to resonate the most with me these days. Difficult to explain exactly why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gedneil Alpeart Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) QUOTE (ReflectedLight @ Jul 15 2012, 04:46 PM) QUOTE (The Body Electric @ Jul 15 2012, 04:43 PM) BU2B. The Blind Watchmaker / Dawkins reference in the lyric is obvious but I absolutely adore the vehemence and anger with which "while our loving Watchmaker loves us all to death" is delivered at the end. Very satisfying delivery of Neil's feelings about faith in religion and neatly sums up how many of us feel about such indoctrinations. One of the best aspects of the CA storyline IMO. just when you thought he got everything off his chest with s & a, and almost everyone going into the making of ca thought he was going to move on to something else. He did....moved onto telling a story with some faith resistance left over, but with a much greater emphasis on existential themes, universal experiences, and a strong message about resolving bitterness and learning from hardship through giving to humanity and letting go of control from the past.
