the only serene track on this is Immortelle imo, the rest is various shades of shivers and limbo
apart from Amaranth, which is its own level of "uh so it looks like you died please remain in this space (???) while your soul works out where it wants to go oh actually nvm goodbye whoops"

tfw she lets you wax poetic until one of you expires and the other is forgotten forever and no one knows where the room is, we've all had an amaranth day at some point or another

To me the lyrics simply hint at where we came from and will all return to. I never dig overly complicated lyrics or even cared about them much in music, so the vagueness of lyricism Is like a gift from Toby to people like me who can’t connect with lyrics. I connect more w music and how it moves through spaces and harmonizes, that’s where the emotional weight of stuff comes for me. It seems Toby knows this sense so well like he’s been walking it his whole life. Love his music.

The lyrics are very abstract on this and BLD, I assume a lot of the songs are recollections of experiences in lucid dreaming and astral projecting? Random occult stuff? Amaranth the Peddler almost sounds like some old fable about an encounter with some ancient ghost or spirit, idk

Hopefully the latter and not occult stuff. Toby has Byron in his band who is a Mason so I’m sure he actually knows more about that stuff (for better or worse) but occult lyricism can often come of as the lamest stuff ever. I’d like to think this is mainly dream imagery and concepts.

And you could make an argument that stuff is already “occult” but my school of thought is that you need a strict system of initiation and application in order to call anything occult.

Occult is a pretty open-ended term, one definition just means "hidden knowledge". You're probably right about the lyrics. Most of them come across like flowery goth poetry to me, and occasionally some kind of contextless part of a story by someone like H.P. Lovecraft.

" Byron in his band who is a Mason"
A freemason?

Yes right so “hidden” implying there’s usually a kind of rite or initiation being associated w said knowledge. That’s all I’m saying. I do find occult fascinating too but for some reason it conjures up some of the corniest stuff in the music world.

freemasonry isn't occult that's a conspiracy theory

Sorry but it’s most certainly occult and that’s not a conspiracy. It’s by their own admission. Just talk to a Freemason. Have you ever read Manly P Hall? That knowledge is out there and can be confirmed.

I think what you’re referring to, more specifically, is the question of how much control they possess over the broader reality. That’s a conspiracy theory. Most of their central practices, a part from the adept beliefs, is common knowledge or readily available knowledge

I've seen several freemason lodges that say otherwise online.

I would say it only takes a very small bit of research to come to the conclusion that Freemasonry at large, in most lodges, borrows many customs from ancient Egypt. It is by default, an occult organization. All lodges came from the same principles ate the start. They believe they are sons of Isis. Their own words. Trust me I actually know Freemason and have spoken to them. I have one in my family too. Plus this can be found online. Don’t give too much credit to the website of each lodge because first and foremost they are there to get new members

The world “occult” immediately has negative connotations online because it is broad and a term that can get backloaded with any biases anyone may have. It is not negative to call something occult! It isn’t secretive either. You have to reprogram your brain out of that nonsense
