NOTE

The Instrumentation of Faith and Considerations of Death

The instrumentalization of faith and considerations of death are explored in this snip. The speaker reflects on the lyrical deconstruction of the desire to die as a child and the relentless beauty of the instrumentation. They discuss their comfort with talking about and considering death, as well as their skepticism about living forever in an afterlife. The experience of visiting their mother's grave and the nonstop endless graveyard metaphor in the album evoke a sense of bleakness. Despite this, they find something beautiful in the realization that life requires enduring grief and that there is no time after death. The speaker also mentions the importance of the execution of these revelations over the journey that led to them.
