Ronin was a feudal samurai without a master, forced and discriminated against by all those around him. Silver, Crimson, Black, is about the different shades of a warrior (the theme of the warrior is repeated throughout the Ronin Album). Silver, is about the honor, the prestige, the respect and the nobility of a warrior. Crimson is about the blood and violence, the aggressive brutality of the reality a warrior must live. Black is the ultimate answer. It is depression, it is fear, it is death itself. It is inescapable and a true warrior must acknowledge Black's existence. We can assume that Zack Hemsey was reciting the combination of these three key traits of the few greatest and most brave warriors, included the Ronins of Feudal Japan.
Ronin's are an easy thing to dig in to, if you could call it a dig. They were just masterless knights/warriors, samurais who acted like mercenaries or bodyguards at times, but yes, they were looked down upon, because if you didn't have a master, then you did not share an honorable defeat/death alongside him. It is even said, that before isolation, some ronin went westward over seas to fight as unique mercenaries, without anyone asking about or looking down upon their upbringings.
while I agree on the silver and black that ain't crimson that's maroon or magenta (I think?) crimson is the color of blood by friend but crimson does have a better ring to it
Mihaly Lukacs I discovered the track yesterday. Didnt really get to me. Today i went to train in kickboxing as usual. I listen to this track, as I recognize myself carrying the colors Red (Gloves), Black (SweatJacket), Silver (Jumping Rope). I felt like Samurai Ronin himself suddenly.
Zack Hemsey- Thank you so much for these beautiful, deep, and moving songs that you post on youtube for us. We are all so appreciative of your music and your ideas. Please keep doing what your doing.
There is just something that you have expressed in this song that hits me very deeply and I love this feeling. I cant figure out what I feel like doing when I listen to this song, its just something which I feel great doing, makes the fire in me rage so passionately. Love what you did here Zack, very touching work. I very much believe that I will feel this great feeling in my life and when that happens I want you all to know reading this comment that you are too much of a great person to miss out on, do you and do what you love, You would be doing yourself a disservice for not living the life you want. if you read all that, please be the REAL and uninfluenced you, bcuz when we are all fake to each other and ourselves we will never really know what it meant to live.
Silver is "the known" (order, culture, tradition, yang) Black is "the unknown" (chaos, nature, death, yin) Crimson is the conflict (blood and fire) that often appears on the boundary. This song is a guide for YOU to go forth and act in the world, defined as such. There is a ton of meaning in here packed tightly into a few verses.
It is alchemical order of man, being Silver (the true nature, soul / the curious and pure, the ever-greatful and present) Crimson (the emotions that define and can blind, the heart & what binds you to the world) Black (the basis of fear and arousal, of beauty, death and resurrection) If you understand all these three principles that make up the "self" you can bring it forth before you and push it like a tool, rather than to be mastered over it through unknowledge and infancy.
When I listen to the song, I can only think of how it tells the futility of dying by the blade The sliver is the slash, it commands respect for it is the sword, it delivers the blow Crimson is the blood, it appears through sliver Black is death, black is pointless black is internal and empty nothing more nothing less
Black isn't pointless, you give it meaning by honoring silver and remembering the crimson red. Another person has already written the meaning and it is a just one. ''Ronin was a feudal samurai without a master, forced and discriminated against by all those around him. Silver, Crimson, Black, is about the different shades of a warrior (the theme of the warrior is repeated throughout the Ronin Album).

I'm glad I found your music Zack Hemsey. All of it fire, and helping me through some dark times. I hope you're doing well, and the best wishes over the holiday's Merrt Christmas to you and your family.
Silver is respect "To know silver is to know respect" And respected people are not always good. "But silver lies with the snake, ain't no idle threat". Respect is a weapon.
Listen to the fucking words, and pay attention to the TITLE of the song!! SILVER=HONOR CRIMSON=SHED BLOOD BLACK=DEATH RONIN DEFFINITION: Samurai without a House. Obviously there are NO soldiers in your family.
He who draws his silver will inevitably be spilling crimson,be it in a righteous cause or otherwise...you live by your sword,you will inevitably die by it and return to black. thanks for the awesome work Zack. An artist evolves,experiments, matures and creates art.
Interesting how his rap videos are in Silver Crimson Black, but his intrumentals are Silver Black. So is he saying that the instruments contain his ideals (silver) and mysteries(black) while his voice conveys his rage (crimson)?
never to late for this luv, never people will continue to interpret art in their own way and guess about it for millennia, probably until we go extinct.
Idk, maybe someone already came up with this, but hey I'm still going to say this. I think these colors stand for the first three of the four horsemen of apocalypse. White horseman = Silver Red horsemen = Crimson Black horsemen = Black They are also mentioned in exactly the same order in the Bible and have similar characteristics (white horseman is a guy with a crown, who is going to conquer, the red horseman wants to take away the peace of the world and the black horseman is to bring famine). The fourth horseman is the pale one and is literally called death, so yeah pretty clear what he stands for. However, I can't really connect him to this song. And a small sidenote, Crimson could be interpreted as the combination of the two place names *Crim*ea and Kher*son*, both are now under Russian control.
To fully appreciate this album I suggest understanding what the title means. Ronin is a Samurai who no longer has a master. The words of this song are describing the life of a Samurai.
It is alchemical order of man, being Silver (the true nature, soul / the curious and pure, the ever-greatful and present) Crimson (the emotions that define and can blind, the heart & what binds you to the world) Black (the basis of fear and arousal, of beauty, death and resurrection) If you understand all these three principles that make up the "self" you can bring it forth before you and push it like a tool, rather than to be mastered over it through unknowledge and infancy.
Did anyone ever notice how the album's logo is the reverse of what you should be if you understand this song? Black on the inside for understanding/strategy, red in between for those who buck, and silver as the exterior so that you may progress.
I am obsessed with the samurai and geishian ways of life,so much so that i made a male samurai on IMVU and a Geisha.. Because they knew true honor,respect,loyalty and love.. Like no time before or after them..
Sometimes listening to this masterpiece I do wonder if Zack didn’t watch too much Naruto to pull out a song like this one. As a big fan of the show myself I wonder if “Silver Crimson Black” is indeed portraying the 3 founders of the Hidden Leaf. The lyrics seems shaped for them. Tobirama = Silver Hashirama = Crimson Madara = Black
I agree with everyone's Theory one the meaning of this song...I think your right it has multiple meanings and messages....One I found that No one mentioned yet... If you listen close you'll find it... An Ancient Science... Astrology

I just realized something about this song, it is the color of the triangle. The triangle that you see above has 3 different colors and 3 different layers. The smallest and innermost triangle is *silver* the middle triangle is *crimson* and the biggest and outermost triangle is *black*
I think this is interesting because I see people interpreting the silver as something good, when it actually is bad. It doesn't represent anything good, but instead brutality and slaughter. Crimson is the blood that comes from the silver, and of course black is the result of both.
+Mudoh415 No. Silver, crimson and black are all meant to be good /and/ bad. Each person is made up of those three. You're supposed to find a balance. Crimson, for example, can be murder, or prose, or romance, or danger, or bloodlust and many more. Good and bad both. Silver is pride, honour, having a mission/purpose, and sticking true to your ideals under pressure. It's at the heart [center] of the album diagram, because it's supposed to be the person's core. Your ideals and tenets. It also warns that silver can be MISUSED, or misinterpreted. Such as somebody pretending to be 'silver' to follow their ambitions, using 'silver' to justify doing something evil. Like a holy war who's purpose is really money, for example. Black is just... Everything else. It's both knowledge and mystery. Black is everything we don't know, and as we unveil more, we learn more. Hence a black-light reveals evidence, death is black (mysterious). Silhouettes, because while they are black, they give a clue as to what the object actually is. In finality, there is no 'silver is bad, red is good, etc.' They're all good /and/ bad. Find the three colours within yourself.
This song is so badass. In my mind it's a shadowy powerful figure walking through hell making the devil cower before him, the fires of hell form a path for his every step as he approaches to unleash hell on those who've corrupted Earth. That's Mr. Silver Crimson Black.
silver is defintily not good and he warns us that we will take it as good: "n disguise come that silver like a side effect But silver lies with the snake, ain't no idle threat"

"That silver shines when a man stands in victory
That crimson blinds from the fires of our history
That black aligns all the beauty and the misery"
Wow...
Many have said it before, but Zack is more than a musician, he's a goddamn poet.
@@TaraZaraChara He truly puts the poetry to the rhyme.
@@TaraZaraChara Yep! And when you realise:
silver = honour
crimson = bloodshed
black = death
It makes it hit harder. Shit still gives me tingles.
Words of a scribe
No words can describe
But they can serve as a guide
And you can learn if applied
Now some burn from the match
Some fall through the cracks
So for those lost, this a map
Silver crimson black
To know silver is to know respect
In disguise come that silver like a side effect
But silver lies with the snake, ain't no idle threat
So only rest where all them silver lines bottleneck
Silver off the screen, treated patron like a saint
Silver in that spoon but don't confuse the painter with the paint
Cuz silver heed the tales of butchered men and perished souls
Leave in its path fallen beasts, silver bullet holes
Silver under gold like pressure under weight
Silver that potential, it's that key to heaven's gate
Silver when that patience conquer seizure with restraint
Silver understands the essence of no greatest of the greats
And silver tame emotion like that silver spider sews
Silver mirrors light the way that silver moon glows
And silver cut adversity so keep your hands closed
That silver crimson black a mix so few have ever known
Silver crimson black
Crimson decimate the workings of a straw man
Cut the ribbon, crimson opens with a strong ram
And crimson spread a mass of fury when the flames fan
Crimson have you searching for the exit on the floor plan
Crimson mob bold
Paint the town - red - giant uncontrolled
Red letter A's told
And crimson can seduce and turn a district into sleepers
Infect a righteous leader with a case of scarlet fever
Now let that crimson rise within, begin to see red
Catch that surprise, crimson reveals, begin to seem red
If crimson blooms all the waters up and seized red
And all the crimson in our hands leave them seas red
Mark that zone red
Sound that code red
That ringing phone's red, emergency the word said
And crimson flows from the rivers that our hearts bled
Crimson rose, redrum, murder, pose, dead
Silver crimson black
Made with sliver crimson black
Black rose pedals on the landscape when Grim come near
And black roams far, it's that final frontier
When black holes swallow black's magic disappears
That black hole sorrow break the most austere
Now evil in the air, black tones sound fear
Though even if you stare black veils, all clear
And never beg a savage, black hearts don't tear
But black mourns those who've departed so dear
Sincere is the reckoning, black's cloud storms
Black robes worn, black day's norm
Like black rats spread disease, black swarms
Meander in the dark and black eyes gone form
As black's knight shield the heaven's with - black - hides the messages
But black's light shows the evidence
And space is full of dark matter's black mass
Raise them stone walls, watch when black's ball smash
Cuz black's mark bear that ash from the rubble
Black bears the vault where those secret thoughts huddle
And black bares all, turn and face it if you dare
But if you run from black's bear be prepared for some trouble
Now who on earth am I
Why are we alive
What's the me in "my"
Where does time fly
All the pieces to the puzzle black hides
Black boundless explanatory gap so wide
And black envelops in that blackout
Question of the truth will lead to silence in that blackout
You should know confusion always follows when you black out
So never turn your back to black when it blacks out
Every luminescence casts a black shadow we perceive
But black's mail contain not one letter you can read
And criticize their worth but black's sheep stampede
Rely upon a plea or flee from black's ops
That silver shines when a man stand in victory
That crimson blinds from the fires of our history
That black aligns all the beauty and the misery
Crimson and that silver can shed light on black's mystery
So pull that sliver from the stone, let that red attack
Cross that silver with that black, be a silverback
And hold that crimson, red-handed as you go
Then with your black hand spin that hourglass, black widow

Ronin was a feudal samurai without a master, forced and discriminated against by all those around him.
Silver, Crimson, Black, is about the different shades of a warrior (the
theme of the warrior is repeated throughout the Ronin Album).
Silver, is about the honor, the prestige, the respect and the nobility of a warrior.
Crimson is about the blood and violence, the aggressive brutality of the reality a warrior must live.
Black is the ultimate answer. It is depression, it is fear, it is death itself. It is inescapable and a true warrior must acknowledge Black's existence.

This man just rhymed "black out" in 4 different ways...Legend. Absolute legend.
5:22
Zack hemsey is my hero
zack you're not a rapper, you're a poet... and hip hop could use some poems to flourish !
3:57 to 6:18 is just venomous
Everything he spits is just venomous.
+Mihaly Lukacs Agreed, fucking gold.
There is just something that you have expressed in this song that hits me very deeply and I love this feeling. I cant figure out what I feel like doing when I listen to this song, its just something which I feel great doing, makes the fire in me rage so passionately. Love what you did here Zack, very touching work. I very much believe that I will feel this great feeling in my life and when that happens I want you all to know reading this comment that you are too much of a great person to miss out on, do you and do what you love, You would be doing yourself a disservice for not living the life you want.
if you read all that, please be the REAL and uninfluenced you, bcuz when we are all fake to each other and ourselves we will never really know what it meant to live.
Silver is "the known" (order, culture, tradition, yang)
Black is "the unknown" (chaos, nature, death, yin)
Crimson is the conflict (blood and fire) that often appears on the boundary.
This song is a guide for YOU to go forth and act in the world, defined as such.
There is a ton of meaning in here packed tightly into a few verses.
It is alchemical order of man, being Silver (the true nature, soul / the curious and pure, the ever-greatful and present)
Crimson (the emotions that define and can blind, the heart & what binds you to the world)
Black (the basis of fear and arousal, of beauty, death and resurrection)
If you understand all these three principles that make up the "self" you can bring it forth before you and push it like a tool, rather than to be mastered over it through unknowledge and infancy.
Listen to his words.
SILVER- HONOR
CRIMSON-BLOOD THAT IS SHED
BLACK-DEATH
COLORS OF THE WARIOR.
What has to be looked at with this is that it shows a deeper understanding
3:57 gives me shivers. Its so good!
NOMO judement 4.54 will ripp your soul apart..its too good
When I listen to the song, I can only think of how it tells the futility of dying by the blade
The sliver is the slash, it commands respect for it is the sword, it delivers the blow
Crimson is the blood, it appears through sliver
Black is death, black is pointless black is internal and empty nothing more nothing less
Black isn't pointless, you give it meaning by honoring silver and remembering the crimson red. Another person has already written the meaning and it is a just one.
''Ronin was a feudal samurai without a master, forced and discriminated against by all those around him.
Silver, Crimson, Black, is about the different shades of a warrior (the
theme of the warrior is repeated throughout the Ronin Album).
Silver, is about the honor, the prestige, the respect and the nobility of a warrior.
Crimson is about the blood and violence, the aggressive brutality of the reality a warrior must live.
Black is the ultimate answer. It is depression, it is fear, it is death itself. It is inescapable and a true warrior must acknowledge Black's existence.
We can assume that Zack Hemsey was reciting the combination of these three key traits of the few greatest and most brave warriors, included the Ronins of Feudal Japan.''
2:58 "Infect a righteous leader with a case of scarlet fever" - a true prophet
Love listening to his music at the gym
My favourite from him
"No words can describe" how amazing these lyrics are. Easily up a notch on most stuff I've heard
I'm glad I found your music Zack Hemsey. All of it fire, and helping me through some dark times. I hope you're doing well, and the best wishes over the holiday's Merrt Christmas to you and your family.
Silver: The Weapon, the Means
Crimson: The Murderous Rage, the Intent
Black: The Death from them, the Result
:cross that silver with that black....be a silver back" going by what you have written doesn't make sense when I hear this phrase, maybe I am wrong?
@@jamesdeegan7365 could mean, that the means of why certain things are said and done cause the death.
Silver is respect
"To know silver is to know respect"
And respected people are not always good.
"But silver lies with the snake, ain't no idle threat".
Respect is a weapon.
Listen to the fucking words, and pay attention to the TITLE of the song!!
SILVER=HONOR
CRIMSON=SHED BLOOD
BLACK=DEATH
RONIN DEFFINITION: Samurai without a House.
Obviously there are NO soldiers in your family.
Silver Crimson Black. Nice color scheme, good choice for the album artwork. Mr. Afshari's art always makes a perfect match for Zack's songs.
ZACK = way of life to me
The lyrics are so good you could paint a picture of what you hear
Or make a movie
Or write a novel
Srsly the whole Album is the work of a freakin GOD! wow
He who draws his silver will inevitably be spilling crimson,be it in a righteous cause or otherwise...you live by your sword,you will inevitably die by it and return to black. thanks for the awesome work Zack. An artist evolves,experiments, matures and creates art.
The prodigal son returns!
This song would be perfect for a dark movie about a vigilante
john wick
Love, love, love!
Interesting how his rap videos are in Silver Crimson Black, but his intrumentals are Silver Black. So is he saying that the instruments contain his ideals (silver) and mysteries(black) while his voice conveys his rage (crimson)?
It's to late for this
never to late for this luv, never people will continue to interpret art in their own way and guess about it for millennia, probably until we go extinct.
Yes man!
In all instrumentals of Ronin album crimson color dissapiered. Only black,silver color.
Sounds about right
Godisnowhere he’s saying cut
I don't know why but my favorite line is
"Cross that silver with that black, be a silverback." Just sounds epic to me.
that elevated state of the mind.
Damn right this words hit hard.
Anyone still listening is 2020? This is still an amazing song.
yes, and i will be listening RONIN album till the rest of my life!
I just hope Zack is making new increadible album like the way, ronin and nomad
I've been listening to this for many years now I don't listen much else. When I pass from this earth this will be played at my deathbed..
@Matthew Rendenm dw I'm still here listening to it lol
2023 here. This is my definition of masculine music, there's just not enough words to describe it.
2023
The worrior archetype! Time to re-awaken! It is about time!
Idk, maybe someone already came up with this, but hey I'm still going to say this.
I think these colors stand for the first three of the four horsemen of apocalypse.
White horseman = Silver
Red horsemen = Crimson
Black horsemen = Black
They are also mentioned in exactly the same order in the Bible and have similar characteristics (white horseman is a guy with a crown, who is going to conquer, the red horseman wants to take away the peace of the world and the black horseman is to bring famine).
The fourth horseman is the pale one and is literally called death, so yeah pretty clear what he stands for. However, I can't really connect him to this song.
And a small sidenote, Crimson could be interpreted as the combination of the two place names *Crim*ea and Kher*son*, both are now under Russian control.
To fully appreciate this album I suggest understanding what the title means. Ronin is a Samurai who no longer has a master. The words of this song are describing the life of a Samurai.
A masterless and kingless samurai warrior, to be precise. Free. Samurai means 'to serve' samurai are not ronin.
Much respect for knowing history of the ronin.. For we are the three ronin and we are coming
Anonymous Ronin what
Correct
It is alchemical order of man, being Silver (the true nature, soul / the curious and pure, the ever-greatful and present)
Crimson (the emotions that define and can blind, the heart & what binds you to the world)
Black (the basis of fear and arousal, of beauty, death and resurrection)
If you understand all these three principles that make up the "self" you can bring it forth before you and push it like a tool, rather than to be mastered over it through unknowledge and infancy.
This album is amazing.
During the chorus starting about black is savage and killer
I made a parkour POV video on my channel with this song. Credit was given and no money was taken. I was also wearing Crimson and black
Favorite of the album
Did anyone ever notice how the album's logo is the reverse of what you should be if you understand this song? Black on the inside for understanding/strategy, red in between for those who buck, and silver as the exterior so that you may progress.
This is quite the challenge to rap along to
Incroyable cet Artiste !!!🤯🤯🤯💗💗💗
*From France.
I haven't heard real music in a while. Until now.
hot montage dude really stunning..
He's back
I am obsessed with the samurai and geishian ways of life,so much so that i made a male samurai on IMVU and a Geisha.. Because they knew true honor,respect,loyalty and love.. Like no time before or after them..
ha.... look silver crimson black are all on the alblum cover... i love how he slips things like that in there
Fantastic stuff as always Mr Hemsey, you've created a new genre. Or several.
Cool thing about this song with earbuds:different instruments play in different ears,pull out one bud and some instruments are unable to be heard.
Because it's precisely done by Mr. Zack Hemsey
absolutely great music!
u poet
This song slaps.
Today i learned, that on 1.5 speed it slaps in a totaly different way.
The drums. The. fucking. drums.
Oh My Lord, this Man is a Genius!😇🙏
Thanks
Silver crimson black bad ass very bad ass
underrated song
Sometimes listening to this masterpiece I do wonder if Zack didn’t watch too much Naruto to pull out a song like this one.
As a big fan of the show myself I wonder if “Silver Crimson Black” is indeed portraying the 3 founders of the Hidden Leaf. The lyrics seems shaped for them.
Tobirama = Silver
Hashirama = Crimson
Madara = Black
I know some people may have already said this, but Ronin's logo has these three colors (silver, crimson and black).
Levi D. P. Barreto Good observation!
I will!
Silver: mind
Crimson: body
Black: soul
I’m getting into pro wrestling I would love to use this as a theme. This track is 🔥
good luck
3 colors...I was brought here by 3 colors...I know everything about this song because of 3 colors...
I agree with everyone's Theory one the meaning of this song...I think your right it has multiple meanings and messages....One I found that No one mentioned yet... If you listen close you'll find it... An Ancient Science... Astrology
i should have heard this 10years ago,how did i miss this demi-god track
Lyrics:
Words of a scribe
No words can describe
But they can serve as a guide
And you can learn if applied
Now some burn from the match
Some fall through the cracks
So for those lost, this a map
Silver crimson black
To know silver is to know respect
In disguise come that silver like a side effect
But silver lies with the snake, aint no idle threat
So only rest where all them silver lines bottleneck
Silver off the screen, treated patron like a saint
Silver in that spoon but don't confuse the painter with the paint
Cuz silver heed the tales of butchered men and perished souls
Leave in its path fallen beasts, silver bullet holes
Silver under gold like pressure under weight
Silver that potential, it's that key to heaven's gate
Silver when that patience conquer seizure with restraint
Silver understands the essence of no greatest of the greats
And silver tame emotion like that silver spider sews
Silver mirrors light the way that silver moon glows
And silver cut adversity so keep your hands closed
That silver crimson black a mix so few have ever known
Silver crimson black
Crimson decimate the workings of a straw man
Cut the ribbon, crimson opens with a strong ram
And crimson spread a mass of fury when the flames fan
Crimson have you searching for the exit on the floor plan
Crimson mob bold
Paint the town - red - giant uncontrolled
Red letter A's told
And crimson can seduce and turn a district into sleepers
Infect a righteous leader with a case of scarlet fever
Now let that crimson rise within, begin to see red
Catch that surprise, crimson reveals, begin to seem red
If crimson blooms all the waters up and seized red
And all the crimson in our hands leave them seas red
Mark that zone red
Sound that code red
That ringing phone's red, emergency the word said
And crimson flows from the rivers that our hearts bled
Crimson rose, redrum, murder, pose, dead
Silver crimson black
Made with sliver crimson black
Black rose pedals on the landscape when Grim come near
And black roams far, it's that final frontier
When black holes swallow black's magic disappears
That black hole sorrow break the most austere
Now evil in the air, black tones sound fear
Though even if you stare black veils, all clear
And never beg a savage, black hears don't tear
But black mourns those who've departed so dear
Sincere is the reckoning, black's cloud storms
Black robes worn, black day's norm
Like black rats spread disease, black swarms
Meander in the dark and black eyes gone form
As black's knight shield the heaven's with - black - hides the messages
But black's light shows the evidence
And space is full of dark matter's black mass
Raise them stone walls, watch when black's ball smash
Cuz black's mark bear that ash from the rubble
Black bears the vault where those secret thoughts huddle
And black bares all, turn and face it if you dare
But if you run from black's bear be prepared for some trouble
Now who on earth am I
Why are we alive
What's the me in "my"
Where does time fly
All the pieces to the puzzle black hides
Black boundless explanatory gap so wide
And black envelops in that blackout
Question of the truth will lead to silence in that blackout
You should know confusion always follows when you black out
So never turn your back to black when it blacks out
Every luminescence casts a black shadow we perceive
But black's mail contain not one letter you can read
And criticize their worth but black's sheep stampede
Rely upon a plea or flee from black's ops
That silver shines when a man stand in victory
That crimson blinds from the fires of our history
That black aligns all the beauty and the misery
Crimson and that silver can shed light on black's mystery
So pull that sliver from the stone, let that red attack
Cross that silver with that black, be a silverback
And hold that crimson, red-handed as you go
Then with your black hand spin that hourglass, black widow
Waking up to new Zack Hemsey in the morning is the greatest thing ever. The song's phenomenal, as always. Keep up the amazing work.
slashes like a katana!
namaste, G homies!
Mandarin Spawn BBTS Edition reminded me of this jam!
He is BACK!!!
I just realized something about this song, it is the color of the triangle. The triangle that you see above has 3 different colors and 3 different layers. The smallest and innermost triangle is *silver* the middle triangle is *crimson* and the biggest and outermost triangle is *black*
At this point I don't care if its real or not, I'm in heaven.
need an endless loop of it
endless love
love the meaning of this song.. the way he raps about silver crimson black separately then as one.. thats dope yoh
Yes he is... Oh. My. God.
So what does silver crimson black mix with when mixing with paint?
i would be all of these literally
Is he just describing the album cover?
+Milksheikh I'm pretty sure someone before had said "Yes, clearly." to this comment.
xD so this and teachings of a ronin are the main songs if you think about it
I think this is interesting because I see people interpreting the silver as something good, when it actually is bad. It doesn't represent anything good, but instead brutality and slaughter. Crimson is the blood that comes from the silver, and of course black is the result of both.
+Mudoh415
No. Silver, crimson and black are all meant to be good /and/ bad. Each person is made up of those three. You're supposed to find a balance.
Crimson, for example, can be murder, or prose, or romance, or danger, or bloodlust and many more. Good and bad both.
Silver is pride, honour, having a mission/purpose, and sticking true to your ideals under pressure. It's at the heart [center] of the album diagram, because it's supposed to be the person's core. Your ideals and tenets. It also warns that silver can be MISUSED, or misinterpreted. Such as somebody pretending to be 'silver' to follow their ambitions, using 'silver' to justify doing something evil. Like a holy war who's purpose is really money, for example.
Black is just... Everything else. It's both knowledge and mystery. Black is everything we don't know, and as we unveil more, we learn more. Hence a black-light reveals evidence, death is black (mysterious). Silhouettes, because while they are black, they give a clue as to what the object actually is.
In finality, there is no 'silver is bad, red is good, etc.' They're all good /and/ bad. Find the three colours within yourself.
+AdredalineVideos *Exactly.*
+AdredalineVideos Thank you. That was wonderful.
Mudoh415 i always loved silver..like silver eye shadow..glitter...silver earings..silver anklet..braslet..wat not...but now somehow feeling ...its evil ..lol
Mudoh415 the fight belongs to the warrior king of Selah. Wrath is the Lord's
Shut up and take my money
Omead Afshari does the cover art for all of Zack's albums.
This song is so badass. In my mind it's a shadowy powerful figure walking through hell making the devil cower before him, the fires of hell form a path for his every step as he approaches to unleash hell on those who've corrupted Earth. That's Mr. Silver Crimson Black.
It might be the saint of killers.
silver is defintily not good
and he warns us that we will take it as good:
"n disguise come that silver like a side effect
But silver lies with the snake, ain't no idle threat"
I can tell his element is metal.
"Watch as Blacks balls smash." Huehuehuehuehuehue
I think he was describing the black holes. When two black holes collide, the impossible happens.
Finn Billyard- you mother...OOOOH YOU IS A CLEVER ONE AINT YA
Zack, where u at bro? When are u gonna give us something new?
If you check his twitter, a new album is dropping in a few days. Nov 4th to be exact.
Sweet! Bout damn time!
JK 1611 Here in the future he has a new album called Nomad
Silver Crimson Black.
ZACK is BACK!!
HEAVY BEAT YO!!! I CAN JAM TO THIS!! NOW DROP THE BEAT 1:24 XO
I think it might be a color of the mixture silver crimson black "That silver crimson black a mix so few have ever known". That verse explains it.
🖤♥️🖤
Not even 2 sevonds into the song and i fell in love
I honestly did.
Different, yet freaking amazing and original!
"Red Letter A's told".is rhat a reference to Scarlett letter?
i think he's advocating people to invest in silver :)
Funny
