    61 year old man here. I stumbled upon a ghost video about a year ago, and I asked my friend if he had heard about this new band ghost. He laughed at me because I had never heard of them. I’m a big Prog fan from the old days. A bit of a deadhead too. I’ve been watching ghost on UA-cam for a solid year. I’m so addicted!❤

      A source online says this song is about the female orgasm. I say that is BS, Tobias as Papa EM 2 had said things about female orgasm in concert maybe referencing a few lines from that song,so, it seems that people have thought the song was about it. I am sure the song is much more complex than that.

      I hear that. I do dislike newer Ghost stuff; I only consider the first three albums to be true Ghost. After Tobias's original bandmates sued him for withholding payment and erroneously calling the band a "solo project", things went downhill.

    • @ALEXGIBSONCMG
      @ALEXGIBSONCMG 4 роки тому +20

      close, but not quite, In Gnosticism, the Antichrist is anyone acting in opposition to Christ, not a singular unit of an unholy trinity per se, and we as humans are all antichrist, because we sin. In Gnosticism Lucifer is the Christ, cast down from heaven by his fellow angels or gods (little g), for rebelling against he order of the void and creating the world in it. that Jesus was dethroned, cast to earth as man in the virgin birth of Mary, and redeemed by the crucifixion, the one called satan is the spirit of death, and the royal guard of the Christ kingdom. in essence anyway. looking at Ghost through the gnostic lens makes sense of it, even the parts about sexuality, and all. Research Gnosticism, it's an interesting subject, and flies in the face of traditional Christianity. I am thoroughly convinced Ghost is a Gnostic band, more so each time i listen to it, "the guidance of the morning star will lead the way into the void,"

    A Monstrance clock was a popular thing in the Renisance ( misspelled ,sorry) period. It was used in rituals, it was a gold colored time piece that kept time. I can't remember all of what Wikipedia said about it, BUT, it was a real clock from what I had read. There are pics of it online, it looked like a chalice sorta BUT it was NOT a chalice. Just do a websearch to see the thing, it looks odd to a non Catholic, BUT, to anyone who was ever a Catholic you can totally picture it in a Catholic church mass.
    As far as what Tobias means about it in this song, I can't imagine that strange clock like thing making any noise, especially an eerie sound, BUT it makes for great lyrics to a great song.

      I'm guessing he's referring to the doomsday clock, which signifies how close we are to Armageddon. "Lucifer's son" would be the antichrist and the antichrist brings Armageddon. So basically he's singing about the end of days. Typical stuff for Ghost.
