Shame marries the guilt
Introduces itself to the
Concept of total loneliness
Sensations repressed
Make friends with
Suicidia and
Here the leeches begin to
Suck away the lust for life
Thus
Escape takes lead
Into a world unknown uncontrolled by all
Where border are erased and potential infinite
Chosen cells glands and transmitters
Blast the body with joy
Astral feet running
Up to dimension covered with gold
Stairs of glowing ectoplasm
Sapphire onyx and buzzing vibrations
A dead man banquet
Food for the gods
There's only 1 real world
Our earth is but a shadow
Created from a child's heart a living jewel
From now on abode for a soul in its setting
Now
Shutting the bloodline
Re-tie the bleeding roots
To a heavenly ship of glass
And let it drift in passive arrogance
In a one-word dialogue with the stars
Introduces itself to the
Concept of total loneliness
Sensations repressed
Make friends with
Suicidia and
Here the leeches begin to
Suck away the lust for life
Thus
Escape takes lead
Into a world unknown uncontrolled by all
Where border are erased and potential infinite
Chosen cells glands and transmitters
Blast the body with joy
Astral feet running
Up to dimension covered with gold
Stairs of glowing ectoplasm
Sapphire onyx and buzzing vibrations
A dead man banquet
Food for the gods
There's only 1 real world
Our earth is but a shadow
Created from a child's heart a living jewel
From now on abode for a soul in its setting
Now
Shutting the bloodline
Re-tie the bleeding roots
To a heavenly ship of glass
And let it drift in passive arrogance
In a one-word dialogue with the stars

It's how we destroy ourselves looking for happyness in other worlds (imagination , alcohol ,narcotics)
Your un-happy so you do whats makes you happy, and that is letting your spirit leave your body to different dimmensions thru astral projection, Look up astral projection.
fits this song and behind space
"Escape takes lead
into a world unknown uncontrolled by all
where borders are erased and potential infinite
Chosen cells, glands and transmittors
blast the body with joy
Astral feet running
up to dimensions covered with gold
stairs of glowing electroplasma
safir onyx and buzzing vibrations
A dead men´s banquet
food for the gods"
Sounds like someone tripping out to me! ;P
Likely the new world that the author escapes into is created by drugs. I'm surprised that no one has posted that already. The drugs affect certain cells, glands, neurotransmitters. Joy indicates euphoria, the rest seems to be about a drug that induces hallucinations. Must be a good trip.
Can't ignore that it's his chosen method of suicide. Overdosing--this "food for the gods" can also kill ("dead men's banquet"). Eat up and leave reality forever.
I might be biased :P I'm bipolar nos, I have had no true hypomania episodes (they don't last for the minimum length of time specified by the DSM), instead it's mostly major depression with dysthymia in between with occasional bouts of extremely agitated anxiety not lasting even 24 hours. I was obsessed about the suffering in this world. When I wasn't emotionally detached and apathetic, my empathy went to the homeless of all species, the harsh existence of wildlife, those abused by their own families in our society, the ones tormented by painful disease, inhabitants of war-torn areas, victims of institutionalized torture such as factory farming and slaughterhouses, etc. I also viewed myself as deeply flawed, and felt constant guilt about being alive in comfortable surroundings and not doing enough to alleviate the misery of the less fortunate. There were times when I wasn't quite completely anhedonic but pleasures didn't seem to matter, I had no interest in them. At my most dysphoric I found solace in hydrocodone. Sometime last year I found that dextromethorphan altered my thinking in ways that felt profound, had many interesting effects (including mild visual hallucinations and close eye visuals), and even let me feel love for others beyond the seconds-long bursts of affection that were all I had for a few years. I looked forward to getting high off dxm; for once I had an activity that had an impact on me, something I enthusiastically planned for the future. Now that I self-medicate daily with tramadol, I'm a lot more stable for the duration I'm under its effects, and I only use dxm when tramadol doesn't work well (NMDA antagonists are great for reversing opioid tolerance). There are a lot of things I might like to try someday, including salvia, DMT, and shrooms. Dxm doesn't give nearly as much of a total trip as those from what I hear. And when I die, I'd like to do so happy as can be and lost in a wonderful new world from opiates and cocaine.
1) food for the gods is an amazing song
2) its part of the whoracle album, meaning it has to be part of the whole story that the album talks about, which is the history of mankind.
Jotun starts by talking about a dream, so its not really the beginning. its a hint of the end. food for the gods is the real beginning.
/Shame marries the guilt
introduces itself to the
concept of total loneliness/
*this talks about how man was once lonely. the rest of the verse could be talking about suicide, but lets just pretend that it has to relate to the history of man. it could be interpreted to say that the loneliness is something so painful it could drive man to suicide.
/Escape takes lead
into a world unknown uncontrolled by all
where borders are erased and potential infinite/
*this means that there is another world that people of this world have no control over..and we cannot begin to define and thus understand its borders and limits so to us it would seem infinite.
/Chosen cells, glands and transmittors
blast the body with joy
Astral feet running
up to dimensions covered with gold
stairs of glowing electroplasma
safir onyx and buzzing vibrations
A dead men´s banquet
food for the gods/
*this shows the belief that the next life has everything blissful to us in this one, and the only way to attain it is to 'feed the gods' (believing in them)
/There´s only 1 real world
our earth is but a shadow
Created from a child´s heart, a living jewel
from now on abode for a soul in its setting/
*so now that man believes that this life means nothing and its the next one that counts, its compared to but a shadow of wat is to come. also, its the kind of thing only children could truly believe without doubt because they do not have the knowlege needed to question this belief....the bible talks about this very same concept but thats waaay too much info
/Cutting the bloodline
re-tie the bleeding roots
to heavenly ship of glass
and let it drift in passive arrogance
in a one-word dialogue with the stars/
*blood sacrifice. not as in-depth as the rest but its all that i could think of. heavenly ship of glass - either cutting oneself with glass or to fill a glass with ones blood, and this is all apparently normal in the name of the gods because of the last lines - basically not caring about something as precious as blood because of out preoccupation with the stas(heavens-gods-faith-blinding)
+I thought jesper stromblad written all lyrics up until colony?
