Cogito ergo sum! I think, therefore I am. It's an honest observation on the human condition, reflecting on situations that in one way or the other we can truly say: we've all been there. Just my opinion, probably not right.just kinda what I get after cross referencing some of his other songs that deal with similar subjects.One of the greatest surprises of the year, "Phantom" is an experience to be seen and felt by everyone who strives to see something unique in terms of film and life experiences. Unable to get it back to the position that it once was he has resigned himself to spend time with the sea and plans to one day return to it and hopes to regain his innocence once more before he dies so that he may return to the position he once held. Tuomas wanted to become a man to tell his stories and his poetry but in doing so he lost the innocence. At one time so clean and untainted, but now is darkened and black.stained with the wickedness of mankind. The ocean represents the evils of the world but also what used to be the goods of the world, more like "Tainted Innocence" and this is what I get from the term "Ocean Soul."Ī soul that represents the oceans, and the in turn represents the world. In the end the story is of tuomas before he was birthed being a blamless soul and after his birth into the oceans of the world, his innocence is darkened. (Resolution, Tuomas will one day prove the ocean wrong and regain his innocence, even as a man)
(Simply the truth, men cannot help but be passionate for wickedness, the ocean being the progenitor of both) (Tuomas hating the ocean for rejecting him, but still wishing to return to his position of innocence from so long ago) (The ocean waits to reclaim him as he will die one day) (Tuomas questioning his faith in the ocean, as he has been a man far too long) (Tuomas begging the sea, the ocean for things that he once had, but when he tries to pray for the ocean itself the ocean rejects him as he is only a man) (the ocean telling him he will rejoin him one day, upon his death) He visits the sea often to try and reconnect with it like he once was, but he is a man not the image of god like he once felt.
(virginity again being innocence here, death is all around him and he cannot fight it. Hail the oceanborn!)įor you are the cradle for the image of god" Welcome to the end of his life as he is now mortal and will one day die. (He would die to gain back the love of the ocean, now fully a man and cast in the image of a man. The bloodred waters being the ocean, but not the ocean that he is of, but instead the ocean of this world and the depravity of men.) (this is Tuomas now fully grown, harkening back to the time of his innocence. The ocean being deep and dark and unexplainable, the liquid shall give him power) (This is the ocean, with which Tuomas has always had a lifelong love affair. The incarnate shall be born and his innocence will be gone) The lady dressed in white, the innocence.his innocence will soon be lost to the man. (this is yet another hint toward himself but as a human. But in doing so he became exactly what he hates about this world) He wished to become a man to tell his stories, to shout out his prophecies. (This is Tuomas, the snowy owl before his birth, the poet of ancient gods. Song MeaningWell after sitting and listening through these lyrics 4 time in a row I think I have some interesting ideas, just tell me what you think of my lyrical breakdown. The eternity will begin once again in peace Our songs will echo over the mountains and seas
For you are the cradle of the image of god"
