To me the gun is pointing at me. We look out at the world and see beauty, but we don't see that the world is going to kill us, because of our irresponsibility of not keeping the planet clean.
I don't see a gun. It kinda looks like a revolver in a way, but i think it is something else protons,neutrons , worm holes string theorie. I don't know something else though. Something deeper than a gun and a moon.
Although the type of clip used in a revolver is called a moon clip
We're meant to be seeing both, it's a visual pun.

If played properly that could turn into a pretty bad ass heavy metal riff in the vein of "Push It" by Tool.

I'm not even joking. That'd be fucking great.
Close Encounters but he takes the family with him. Essentially how Spielberg would end it if he made it today.
Future Days would serve this purpose.

I rarely ever log on here, but I had to log in just to tell you I laughed hard when I read this. Brilliant.

Glad you enjoyed it. You should stick around.

Guys, this is all very exciting but I'm trying to think temper my expectations because I have a hunch this artist might be more clever than the band in his interpretations. Just compare the FD artwork with the song. That disparity could happen with any of these.

They should have given the guy a list of titles, had him make artwork for each of them, and then tried to write songs to match the artwork.

Are you serious? That fish artwork is cool, and 'Ole' isn't on the album except in rumoured fake tracklists.

By the way, the fish / leviathan / whale artwork reminded me of this.

I think that "metaphysically" is a lyrical slip-up in that song. 'Metaphysical' implies God, and that's not what he means.

It's definitely "metaphysically redeemed" on the song.
