![]() Renala khurd city map, Mastodon the hunter stream, Dong phu vieng national park. ' Sorry For Now' is a song that helped me some of the most painful moments I've ever experienced, and it's impossible to listen to the entire record without hurting for Chester. One More Light teaches us to remember that we're all a little broken on the inside, that not everything is okay. In the end, that's where the beauty of life is. ![]() Living through the bad experiences so that we know when we've found the good ones.My InterpretationI like the song's title, Clandestiny. This is not only a play on "clandestine" but also evokes imagery from the words "clan" and "destiny". Mastodon has released an intriguing video for 'Clandestiny,' which is featured on their latest album Emperor of Sand. So to me, this song tells a story where a secretive clan recruits someone to "Give their live". The sci-fi animated clip features the destruction of an eerie dystopian. In this story, the character being spoken to has suffered without a say or guidance: "Silent all you life. Running without vision." "Wronging all that's right" suggests that the character is acting out because he/she was suffering. These next few lines are how the "recruiter" describes the clan: "no illness and no pain", "Have not found any suffering". The recruiter describes how the environment for both of them is "dark and bare," with "no clarity, no light". What is the meaning of the lyrics &039 Silent all your life Running without vision.&039 Discuss and share your interpretation of Clandestiny. "The moment" could be the the event or that started the clan the clan's ideals therefore consumed their "sight". The clan will do these things, "mend your broken heart" and "retort the trials that you have lost" if the person joins. It needs the "lives" of its members, literally or metaphorically: organ transplant ("So I can breathe"), vs something like devoting all your energy to the clan. "Save your life" suggests the acting out from the beginning may have included downward spiraling / suicidal thoughts/ behavior. "It's all we need": we don't need your other unique aspects your "life" for the clan is all we need. This line also downplays "life", as if it was something fungible.Ī few things here. "We can be above the ground": suggests they are living underground right now. Underground in a dark, silent environment. ![]() Maybe unveiling itself "above the ground" is another one of the clan's goals. "And devour your humanity": another way of saying "Give your life." "Follow me and follow sound to the end of your eternity": where, "eternity" was an infinite path the character being spoken to was on before, but by following "sound", the character now has a "destiny" or destination, bringing it back to the song title. I feel this song illustrates a part of the story of any number of real life people who, once lost and angry, find a cause to join after being absorbed into a clan. It seems like Mastodon is making a statement about the disaffected groups and the atmosphere around the time this song was released, and even two years later today.
