We explore the final leg of the epic ‘Achilles Come Down’ in this final installment of our 2-part analysis of the band’s most popular track. Here, we’ll see the two opposing voices meet in a Homeric clash with stakes that could literally mean life or death for our protagonist. We’ll learn more about the existentialist philosophy baked into the song, as well as examine some of the implications of a song like this becoming as successful as it has, with the audience that it has.
