Background Rant on Empire of the Sun
In my last post More Betrayal and Other Things (July 23, 25), I discussed evidence of Lindsey Stirling having Luciferian symbolism in her music, and postulated that nearly every major musical artist is similarly into the occult. So yesterday, I decided to test this hypothesis on the band “Empire of the Sun”. I chose this band because it is the last of my all around top favorite bands in the 21st century that I haven’t found to be corrupted.
Just to emphasize, I am not actually going through artists and cherry picking ones that are weird – this genuinely was my last favorite modern artist who I felt had inspired me and helped me during hard times.
So, when I started this analysis, I didn’t expect to find anything super interesting. After all, the band just seemed so innocent – nothing explicit; they maintained silly attitudes and goofy music videos with upbeat melodies.
How wrong I was. And, of course, my goal here is not to single out this band, but to provide evidence indicating that most modern artists who consistently have amazing music are actually inspired by the adversary; a necessary point because I believe we need to stop listening to modern music as saints (which will be incredibly hard for me to personally do). So, here are the creepy songs of empire of the sun in no particular order. And as before, yes, some of my points are weak, but some are not, and if you ignore the strong points and only attack the week ones (not considering the evidence as a whole) then you are pedantic.
* Before writing this I must note: Psychedelics are not good – all they do is allow the user to see into the demonic realm, where demonic entities proceed to trick them into accepting new age beliefs, or drive them crazy leading to possession. I discuss this briefly in Problems with The Law of One, though I’m realizing my site deserves a far more comprehensive discussion on the topic since there are so many sociopathic lies about psychedelics online.
So, firstly, they have many music videos featuring meditation, eastern religious temples, and quasi religious psychedelic scenery. I won’t go through all such videos except the most famous one: High And Low, which has such symbolism, including also a scene of the eye of mother earth and people with multiple arms (in refence to hindu Gods). Moreover, the video is about a woman named “Alice D” which sounds like LSD, so I assume the video really is trying to depict a “spiritual” experience one may from taking LSD. In conclusion, obviously the new age is not good, but this video still is not necessarily “proof” of the demonic. So lets keep on going.
Alive – the video features a character who looks much like the goddess Artemis (interestingly like unto Lindsey Stirling’s Artemis), who the lead singer prays to, as well as a pantheon of other figures who are dressed like Gods and Goddesses. Particularly, one of these figures is a black dancer who has the dress and makeup to look exactly like a demon who then disappears into a cloud of smoke; I don’t know what this could symbolize other than a literal demon… So overall, the video is about paganism where some of the gods are demons.
Way To Go – This video has creepy psychedelic imagery of the singers dressed in black with a black background. Then we zoom into their heads, which start to psychedelically morph. Inside their heads we see strange scenes, such as a scene of many eyes staring at you (typical creepy symbolism), and lots of shiny black faces. At the end we see the singers on floating black islands, where the earth of the islands is itself singing. So, again the video seems to be about a psychedelic trip, but this time the imagery is darker, potentially even symbolizing possession. We also see some interesting lyrics:
Are you ready for
A revolution to show the way
Seven whole weeks until the day
This sure seems like a description of end times antichrist stuff, where the seven weeks represents the final 7 years (as discussed in End Times Timeline).
And yes, demonic music tends to discuss the end of the world timeline, except it cuts off just before Christ returns (as seen in a huge number of videos of Alan walker, such as Rise of the Drones).
Standing On The Shore – the music video starts off by depicting the singer being frozen underground, and then swordfish girls (literally women wearing swordfish masks) unbury him; he is then struck by lightning which revives him. He follows a rope to another man half buried in the sand wearing religious looking attire who shoots lightning at the main singer, teleporting him to a party in a cave briefly, before he reappears in the desert. He leads a troop of these swordfish girls into a fight with other oddly dressed people – figures holding poles with goat heads on top and other figures dressed entirely in black (no skin visible), with weird black shiny triangles on parts of their body. There briefly is a conflict between these factions, before they make peace, and he leads these groups to a statue of himself with the original guy who teleported him standing behind it. They then stand around the statue dancing around, before the singer receives power from a lightning bolt and humorously uses it to kill everyone. To note, in characteristic style of empire of the sun, the whole video is sort of goofy, especially the ending.
But there is a lot of symbolism here to the antichrist. When the singer arises from being buried underground, that represents the antichrist coming to the world from hell (which is underground obviously). The people with goat head emblems, and the men in weird black suits, and the sword fish girls all represent demonic entities, and when the singer unites them, that represents how the antichrist will unite the forces of darkness across the world. The statue of the singer represents the image of the beast (Revelation 13:14–15). Which makes the religiously attired person who teleported the singer and then stood behind his statue the prophet of the antichrist – who brings people to the antichrist, calls fire down from heaven (which is similar to lightning), and raises the image of the beast (Revelation 13:11-15). Also, it is worth noting that (at the very start of the music video), an announcer voice says “the empire forges on in the northern lands of the most isolated city in the world” – which is like unto scripture which tells us that Gog, who is from the northern lands, attacks Israel in the last days (Ezekiel 38:15-16); I could be wrong here though, and I’m not even certain that this “Gog” is the same as the antichrist. Likewise I don’t know what this “isolated city” represents.
But, if this isn’t clearly a prophecy of the future, let’s see the lyrics:
Standing on the shore
Waiting for the ship in call
The future’s in my hands
I hold it in my palms
Engrave it the leylines running right down her arms
So clearly the song is meant to be prophesying the future. These lyrics are also interesting:
Speak in silent tongues
Lies reflect the times
The ghosts and the shadows fill the living scene
Don’t want to talk
All I hear is noise
So clearly creepy lyrics which seem out of place for the goofy face empire of the sun tries to put on.
Without You – So this was the video where I became certain that something is really wrong with this band. We start off by seeing the lead singer sitting on a throne in what I can only describe as a priestly outfit – he has this fancy white shirt with a high collar, a medallion, gloves, black cape, and strange face paint (this face paint is typical across videos, which I will discuss later). This outfit reminded me of the white dress with black cape worn by Lindsey Stirling in Beyond The Veil which I discussed in my last dream. We then see this weird obelisk with symbols on it, with various animal statues placed in front of it. There also is a point where a beaker of what appears to be blood is placed on an altar thing in front of the obelisk. When we see these animals, we also see the ground beneath them turns red (against the otherwise black background). But most noticeably, one of the animals is a bull and for a moment we see a scene of red flames going around it (at 1:03). All this time, the singer makes dramatic poses towards the obelisk.
What is this representing? Obviously, the sacrifice of animals and blood to an idol, with the singer being the high priest. I’m not dumb, that is the only sensical interpretation.
Eclipse Broadcast – Another video with odd symbolism. The singer dances around on a stage with the swordfish girls and black triangle men who I think represent demonic entities that you should be familiar with by now. But there also is a woman on stage who holds what appears to be a snake that she passes to the lead singer. And again, the lead singer has this weird priestly sort of outfit on (as is typical); but he also has these decorative horns with a pile of bones on his head behind the horns, which is just weird and creepy. Then at one point the video shows a solar eclipse (occult symbolism also seen in Lindsey Stirling’s Stars Align which I discussed in the last dream).
The lyrics are also odd. At one point the lyrics make fun of Jesus Christ:
Kings Cross hot shot
Jesus Christ on web blog
Cowboy at a cop shop
Tiger in a drug store
But there is just a lot of other weird and creepy lyrics:
F*ck real
Just make
Shes a trist
But can’t you see
Where the truth
In the sun
Put your lies evrybody now to they say
He also repeats “Calling all the life forms”, where (perhaps) life forms represent demonic entities (or aliens?). But in general these lyrics are just strange and off-putting.
Dark Secrets – In the video we see the two lead singers dressed in sort of angelic outfits getting out of a mini limo in a dark misty night. This scene plays and then rewinds repeatedly. Which isn’t necessarily that creepy until you start to notice patterns; it reminds me of Lindsey Stirling’s Stars Align, where the video repeats the scene of Lindsey as an angel in heaven falling to earth where she transforms over and over. So, the conclusion from this video is that the flying car which travels through magical portals frequently displayed in Empire of the Sun’s videos (which I haven’t discussed yet) represents how demonic entities transport from their heavenly realm to earth – and of course this video depicts these fallen angels arriving at earth.
In alignment with my creepy interpretation of the video (which I understand some may argue with), the lyrics are also pretty creepy:
Far far underground
Down in the earth’s core
Strange feelings they play
I’m telling you a bad bad game
Struck me hard right down
…
Dark secrets
No dark secrets
Ooooh
We coming out
Out of the underground
In my view, this video is about how in the end days, the hoards of Satan will emerge to earth from hell – which will end the dark secret of their existence because they will be out in the open.
Let’s Pause for Now
Wow, I’m realizing there really is a huge amount of content to analyze here. I’m only about halfway through all the music videos I wanted to cover, and trust me, there are some creepy ones left.
I guess in the next dream (I trust I will have more dreams), I will complete my review of empire of the sun. But my conclusion in short is that we shouldn’t be listening to pop music, not just because almost all major artists are demonic, but also because it is a form of manipulation and therefore witchcraft (a topic which deserves a much longer discussion).
This is a conclusion I had drawn two months ago, where I had an odd experience where the exact moment after I decided to not listen to music, my computer’s audio drivers failed – which I had seen as confirmation. But, sadly, I was not able to follow through with my convictions at the time; though I largely switched out of many of my favorite bands to what I perceived as “more holy” artists (like Lindsey Stirling LOL), I was still listening to music all of the time – which now I am realizing is not psychologically good for you because as said it is a form of manipulation.
So, for the past day and a half, I have been trying to stop listening to music. And I will admit, it is really hard. I am very addicted to music, and I just feel this complete emptiness and sadness when I am left in the silence (which I hypocritically discuss in Overcoming Addictions) – which makes me want to lie down and not do anything at all. While in such a stupor today, randomly this video Testimony Time – Yoga came up on my YouTube recommended videos. The video was about how a former yoga teacher slowly realized yoga was demonic – she started off by just cutting out the “bad” parts of yoga, before realizing that she had to stop practicing it entirely. This felt like confirmation on my views of music – similarly, I started out by only cutting out the “bad” music – but now I am realizing I just have to stop listening to all music (probably it is OK to listen to uplifting music just a little bit, but certainly not 99% of waking hours as I have been doing for years).
So, what form of entertainment is left? I already don’t think we should be watching tv or playing video games, and my sad experience is that almost all modern books are very woke. I just want to go to heaven so bad. I don’t see life on earth as particularly enjoyable, and my life is actually pretty good. So please come oh Lord and take us sojourners in a strange land back home to you, I’m begging you. I’ve heard a theory that in heaven we forget all the people we used to know who don’t go to heaven; that sounds pretty nice to me – I would like to just get there and forget all the troubles of this mortal realm and remember life on earth as but a short dream. For now, I will try to fix a few things on this site in the time I have left on earth, but of course I would prefer to be working on this site from heaven LOL; ultimately almost everything in this life just feels irrelevant and meaningless.
The Dream
In the dream, there was this church building full of monsters and demonic entities, and I was trying to drive this golf cart thing through it without hitting any of the entities or getting caught. I think part of the dream involved me crossing like this fairy tale / Hogwarts style bridge through fog from a sort of different realm to a space just outside of the Church building, whereupon I entered the Church building and had to avoid the entities.
I also dreamt I was at a fast and testimony meeting of my church (in the Mormon church, at the start of each month, instead of the normal meeting, members volunteer to stand at the podium and bear their testimony). So, my Mom went up to the podium and instead of bearing her testimony, told the whole congregation that my twin brother was having an affair.
Interpretation
After waking up, I didn’t immediately think this dream was special (as is often the case) so I only wrote it down in my section for not prophetic dreams. So, on one hand, sadly I likely would have recorded more details if I had taken this dream more seriously. On the other hand, I’m glad I wrote this dream down at all, and I guess my section for “not prophetic” served it’s purpose – I try to write down such dreams to train my subconscious to remember dreams.
These dreams I think are just another reiteration of corruption in the church (the subject of many of my dreams). Particularly, this dream reminds me of Betrayal / Dark forces in Churches / Discussing Christian Zionism, which also involved a demonic entity in the chapel of my church.
I think this dream might also be about how the 144,000 will have to navigate around literal demonic entities after they return to earth following their calling in heaven during around the same period of time as the 3 days of darkness.
I think the part about my Mom’s testimony reiterates corruption in members. First of all, husbands shouldn’t be having affairs. But second of all, when that does happen, we should not be gossiping about it to everyone, especially not in a setting where our intended role is to bear testimony of Jesus Christ (D&C 42:88–93).
The Vision
After waking up, I started praying. As I’ve mentioned on this site, I have a habit of praying myself to sleep, where I repeat a mantra prayer in my head (and no, I don’t usually pray in mantras, just only when I try to fall asleep, since the mental effort required to construct a unique prayer would block my falling asleep).
I actually remember what the prayer mantra was. For context, I was feeling really bad about my sins at the time, especially since I was realizing that all of my favorite music I used to listen to actually is demonic. So here is the prayer:
“Lord, I love you, I am sorry for worshipping Satan all my life, help me to turn to you; give me a new heart that aligns with you, help me to overcome temptation and serve others. Lord, I pray for dreams and visions and revelations from you, in the name of Jesus Christ Amen”.
Just to note: when I say “worshipping Satan” what I mostly mean by that is listening to satanic songs – I used to sing along to such songs for hours and hours every day, while spending no time at all worshipping the Lord. Also, I mostly just said the first half of this mantra since it was too long for my tired brain.
In response to this prayer, I started to feel astral projection like symptoms. I felt this energy go through my body, and this physical lightness. And (if you haven’t been following this blog) you should know I have experienced this a lot, so I knew exactly what was happening – I was about to astral project. Therefore, I continued praying waiting to see what would happen (and not engaging in any of the practices that I normally would do if I wanted to induce an astral projection). Then, certain parts of my body started to float up and down, my whole upper body eventually drifted up, followed by my legs; at this point I knew the astral projection had completely started, and that I could move around without ending it.
I found myself in the same room in which I was sleeping. But there was this gold coloring everywhere (as in past spiritual vision / astral projection things). There was also this female voice quoting scripture the entire time (somehow I knew it was scripture, though I don’t know what book it came from, nor do I remember the content).
I walked out of the room I was sleeping in and appeared in the hallway of my parents’ house that connects to the bedrooms. Typically for me, when I walk through a doorway while astral projecting I go to a new place, as though doorways are more like portals. Therefore, I usually try to leave through a doorway as soon as possible in an astral projection to be able to further explore new places (since astral projections are very short), which is why I walked directly to the front door to leave in this experience.
Strangely, I had a hard time opening the door – I had to be sure to press down on the upper nob thing to open it. So apparently the doorway was a physical barrier and I was not able to just pass through it. I emerged on our street and walked straight to our closest neighbor’s house.
As I got closer, the house seemed bigger. It had this circular turnabout driveway thing in the front, with a roof going over part of this driveway (like you might see in a fancy hotel). I could see the building had a very large and tall living room, not just in the front, but then curving around to the left and back. I saw multiple pianos and musical stands inside. I also saw a folded basketball hoop in the living room (which reminds me of the large rooms of Mormon Chapels). And there appeared to be a party going on inside, or at least people getting ready for one (I remember seeing folding tables with snacks and rows of plastic drink cups). The door was already open, and as I approached, the woman from the channel Raine with Grace greeted me. She apparently was expecting me and took me inside because she wanted to show me something. I asked her how she knew me, and she told me that “somehow she did”.
Then the vision ended.
So, I think this vision represented the coming wedding feast of the Lord discussed in the scriptures representing when the saints finally meet the Lord in heaven. I received the vision as a reassurance that I would be OK in the end in response to my stress about my salvation status.
So, as is the case for all my “visions”, they all are very similar to astral projections. And it is confusing to me why other youtubers (who I believe in) don’t report similar sensations at the start of their visions. Surely, I am not the only one with visions like this?
Thanks for reading!
