I'm listening to this now for the first time in a while, and I actually kinda love all the lyrics so far. I'm on Angelus Novus currently, Garm has one of my favorite singing voices easily.

Yeah, Garm is amazing. Completely agree.

I actually dig the juxtaposition of the melodious and poetic music and themes against the sometimes very literal lyrics haha

Eh, I wouldn't call it that. Here's the wiki article, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rape_of_Proserpina
That dude was 23 when he sculptured that thing. It's insane.

It should be noted that he tried to reproduce the ancient Greek ideal of depicting tragedy in the most aesthetically pleasing way (which is dumb), so you're honestly not to blame

Why is it dumb?

It's obviously subjective, but depicting something unbearable in a pleasing way seems very unfitting to me. It's like trying to bend sorrow to be more easily digestible for the recipient. When you portray harsh matter, you might as well do it in a way that does justice to the pain depicted. Your profile pic is definitely more up my alley lol.
With this attitude, you might guess what kind of films I can't stand and what films I love heheh.

"depicting something unbearable in a pleasing way seems very unfitting to me"
disagree with this. reality is based in paradox. duality exists because through tragedy one finds salvation if they happen to survive the tragedy, and even if they don't, death frees them from the torment of that which killed them, for instance. everything has a counterintuitive counterpart, thus making art to fit the attached contradiction of any situation just makes the art in question more cognizant overall. that's just in principle. this isn't to say you can't make very bad art by combing two things in such a poorly thought-out way that they lack any iota of the sublime or transcendent qualities, even while trying to depict the double-side of whatever the subject.
and this isn't a moral argument even in the slightest so please don't read into it with that mindset. it may seem instinctual at first, but i'm just trying to justify why counterintuitive art often is veiled, and exists to model the duality of our apparent reality.

Hahaha bloc.
Thanks Rik, I don't agree at all. Every human experience must be portrayed in every way.
Well, ideally.

"Every human experience must be portrayed in every way."
Yes, that's the problem: The ancient Greek ideal I was talking about was handled as the superior form of art and the depiction of something in ugly ways as just too appalling to be "art". And imo it's the wrong ideal, to the point of it being "dumb". I mean, we're talking about "he has to look pretty while he's being tortured", it can come off as very silly.
And either way, rape is not something I want to see portrayed in every way. Just like, say, the holocaust. There are topics artists have to be careful about.
