Under the advice of the queen, Belshazzar then summons a captive, Daniel, a figure known for his wisdom, who offers a reminder that Nebuchadnezzar was humbled by god for his arrogance.
He then informs Belshazzar, a known blasphemer, that the writing on the wall warns the prince that his life will soon be coming to an end and that his kingdom will be delivered to the Medes and Persians. The song itself doesn't directly reference the biblical story, but instead uses its lesson as Bruce Dickinson constructed his own narrative, which plays out dramatically in the band's animated "The Writing on the Wall" music video. Four cloaked riders traverse the desert in an effort to vanquish a political adversary painted as an American President, as evidenced by the 'Pres 1' license plate and upside down American flags devoid of its 50 stars.
Still, the message remains the same, that if an individual fails to recognize the inevitable, it will only end poorly for them. However, wised that you could summarize it better. Just a little to lengthy. But, nicely critiqued. Thanks for your input. General Comment I'm surprised no one else has commented on this song yet.
I think it's just awesome. To me, it's about someone whose been searching for faith in God throughout their life and then goes on to talk about humanity searching for the last years for God. Anyone else have ideas about this song? Everyone has a different experience of life, and I don't think many if any, ever end up fully comprehending it or ever finding an answer as to why?
But deep down, I think we all perhaps do things in the faith and hope that theres a bigger reason for us doing them. Still, thats what makes life, life I guess; the variety and the unknown. BlankSpace on February 06, And, in doing so, i think the song describes how often you tend to go back to 'what was written on that wall', e. Without playing games or rake up the same old lines and stories, and not believing them truly for yourself. But cause you see the truth behind it.
Could the 'devil turn to dust' bit, mean 'prayer'? I tend to think so. JahLex on October 11, I think it has to deal with his father struggling with alcohol and how his mother held everything together. Maybe this is a loose tie. For me, it's about he realizes his mother had known all along. He hits that same point "running down the same old lines" with "houses burning" kind of referring to how alcohol can tear houses apart. My Interpretation This song is fantastically beautiful.
Someone earlier mentioned that they didn't understand the line: "Never once has any man I've met been able to love, so if I were you I'd have a little trust". This is a very eloquent way of saying that humans will always let us down. We are not perfect, and we are not capable of loving the way God does. So, it's important to trust the Lord who loves us unconditionally and will never let us down. No Replies Log in to reply. He is asking others to trust that he can make the break Seriously, though, I have no clue as this song doesn't seem easy to comprehend.
TurnMeOn on November 06, Link. My Interpretation I think that this song is from the perspective of somebody that had a Christian upbringing, but fell away as he got older.
As he began to become less naive to the suffering and troubles of the world, he started to question the plausibility of religion. Yet despite this, he is drawn back. He has nothing to 'mention' to God in prayer and sees no result from his attempts at it.
He'd rather try to make his way in life by his own effort wander on , and won't trust in God unless he sees some grand miracle or effect in some other religious person someone else is saved. The religious upbringing from his mother starts to come back to him as he is struck by the beauty of nature. Hans urs Van Balthasar comes to mind here a theologian. He wrote about how man can come to God through Beauty first, and then to the True and the Good hopefully these are the three transcendentals of being.
Eating is one of the most basic ways people sustain themselves. But even this is not possible without our God "father at the table". In traditional monotheism, God is the first cause in an essentially ordered series - that is, the entire universe is sustained by him here and now. Drinking, particularly alcohol, is a symbol of celebration, of joy and pleasure. Until one has "turned the devil to dust" - has overcome their temptations and sins, and placed their life with God - they cannot be joyful.
