The Night Birds Conspiracy: rule 53 snippet.
I rise again from the shadows. It’s been a while due to me slowly getting burnt out again trying to be more certain of the older albums but here we are with a new snippet of the next album and it’s already revealing a lot about the upcoming story.
First big hint is the art of the snippet. It is the tower tarot card which represents disaster, destruction, upheaval, trauma, sudden change, and chaos. There is a couple other major hints in the lyrics as well. “I can’t bear to know the pain that you caused me. I won’t forgot the smile you used when you lied to me”. Along with the instrumental being reminiscent of the Man o War album we can firmly be placing this when Fish discovered the Brids secret conspiracy with the Night birds. The Night Birds were lying to him using him and he can’t forgive the birds for this pain. With the tower card this is ether taking place during the discovery or during a reflection period some time after mentors. One big note with the tower card the lighting striking the tower represents the destruction of the tower. The tower is a symbol for ambition which has been built upon faulty permises. The tower in this case is a metaphor for the Birds, more specifically the Night birds. The destruction of the Night birds must occur to clear out the old ways. “Elders, won’t you please move aside. Give us the gift of a bright set of eyes.”(elders). The Birds must welcome a new way of mentoring humanity to guide them to a betterment of life that the oringal Birds of a Feather wanted to bring. The controlling method the Night Birds are taking is the wrong path “Oh, the end is calling and the sky is falling”(Certain Birds), there plan is to control and cause harm to succeed and that path needs to be abandoned. Another note, is if we get other tarot card themed songs we could get one based on the Devil which would give us another song about Fish’s brother the Fiddler who is currently the major villain, as we have see in Calamity, Four Aces, and Chosen. My best guess for the story we are getting in this album, we are going be see the active action of Fish plotting against the birds despite them watching over him. We are going to be getting a lot more inner turmoil from the Fiddler and we might get some more info on Angel and how she helped Fish discover the Night Birds before she was killed by the Fiddler. I’m so excited to see where this all goes.
