The Sunset Tree is a goated album^^^ I also highly recommend seeing them live if possible, if you need a spiritual cleansing Johnbobb posted... It's also not a villain song. Which is weird, given that it directly says things like "I'm gonna kill all the judges." Unlike many of the other villain songs here, in which when someone says "I'm gonna kill them," it's clear they actually mean it, this one absolutely feels more like venting frustration and sadness. Unless you want to take the song as literally about Romulus and Remus (historical metaphorical allusions as a plot device within the song definitely gets it bonus points in characterization btw) the song really is about someone suffering from abuse, and all the pain and frustration associated with it and feeling like there's no way out through any safe or viable route. It's extremely sad to the point that I can't justify considering it legitimately villainous. But I could also be interpreting this all wrong and it could be alluding to an actual bloodbath, but that's where I'm at.HMmmmm - I guess I took it more literally, did not expect it to get a villain score of 1. To me it kind of feels like a villain's origin story; a way to see their point of view and how their actions could even seem justified. But I like this take. --- azuarc wasn't even home. he was playing Magic the Gathering at his buddy's store, which is extremely easy to verify ... Copied to Clipboard! |
