Let's dive into this masterpiece. What are your thoughts? What do you like about this song?
First off, the bass is so NASTY. In a good way of course. This line gets me every time:
"He struck down gods that he killed and armies
Stood up on top of a hill of bodies
It was never enough, he just needed saving from himself"Like holy crap. I know this song is about Jon but it feels kind of cryptic with a bunch of deeper meanings which is what I love about it.

the complexity in the lyrics is next level.
“he once got an offer from lucifer’s daughter to bow to the gods so he’d keep his verses sharper than a knife sometimes”

So hard to say just one here but I’ll have to go with, and it’s a bit long but “ Heard he was worn, not a hero that's torn Between fame and adornment and loses his sword
So he shot the fame down But he keep a mask on him if the sign's in the sky Heard he was happy so no one could gas him Or force him to dance like a monkey for access He loves his life But he keep a pen sharp enough to write one time” this just gave me the update on Jon I needed to be content, knew he was happy doing him, felt good with the choices he made, and also just have to give shouts to “he just needed saving from himself” because of how true that’s for me personallyBoy Mystic raised from the Wilkins baby

It genuinely feels like a story is being told, which is so cool. Also funny story: as I was typing a response to this is popped up in my shuffle LOL. Coincidence? Or fate? Phenomenal song

Cause I had a fire, passion and desire
Now all I require are circuits and wires
Inside was an ocean of soul and emotion
Then you cut me open... -

@Jefferson-M Huge agree on the specific line you were talking about, scratches an itch in my brain- for some reason the way “bodies” sounds is always my favorite part and just hitsss i cant even explain it
