This essay includes a huge discourse on why we shouldn’t listen to modern music. If you want to just read the vision, you will basically have to scroll to the very end.
Background Rant – Continuing Discussion of Empire of the Sun
Here I will continue my discussion of the creepy music from Empire of the Sun started in the last dream (Church Corruption / Feast Dream & Vision). In summary, my goal here is not just to attack this specific band, but to provide evidence of corruption across the whole pop music industry and therefore encouraging the reader to not listen to music. In this part, I will discuss music from their Album “Ask That God”. As I go through this music, I encourage the reader to ponder the question: to which God are they actually referring to in the album title (noting they don’t have positive things to say about Jesus Christ as seen in their song Eclipse Broadcast discussed in the last dream post).
Changes – The symbolism in this video I admit is less creepy than other videos here, but I must include it because it used to be like my favorite song in the whole world. As is typical in their videos, it starts with the singers coming through a green portal in the sky in a flying car into our world. Then their car crashes into a lake, and a little girl finds them. At this point, these men dressed as aliens show up; they have telekinetic powers linked to hand movements which they use to lift the girl and the two singers towards them. Then the scene shifts, and the girl and the singers are in a southeast Asian temple. The singers have priestly outfits and sing on the central balcony as if they own the place, while the girl watches.
These two lines in the lyrics are interesting:
We go far to the early break of dawn
We wearing faces that we’ve never worn before, before
So obviously at face value the video is not bad, but in context of their other videos, I believe this video is another one about the antichrist. When the car comes through the portal, that represents the antichrist coming from the spiritual realm to earth. All the telekinetic aliens that greet him represent demonic entities. The lyrics “We wearing faces that we’ve never worn before” is discussing demonic possession (or aliens pretending to be humans). And the scene of them dancing around in the temple represents the Antichrist’s quasi-religious role in the world.
Cherry Blossom – The video features the singers wearing fancy priestly robes dancing around east Asian temples along with weird psychedelic imagery – a reference to the new age. It ends by showing this very creepy black statue in the ocean of this topless woman with a man’s face and beard, with this weird snarl on his fanged face and red eyes. All I can say is that this is a statue of a demon.
The lyrics are interesting:
“We reach out to everyone
Everything, everywhere, all at once, all the time
Fire come into the black hole
Knowledge leaks the light to unknown
It’s holy, a lover’s love”
These lyrics seem a little Luciferian, seeing that ideology views Satan as a light bearer who leaks forbidden, yet essential and good, knowledge out of heaven to man.
Music On The Radio – As before, the singers enter in a flying car through a portal. This time, they enter a complex that appears to be having a massive party. An announcer says “are you ready” and a man wearing a sharks costume in the pool gives a thumbs up, and then the song commences: in it we mostly see the singer in his extravagantly ornate costume walk around the party complex. Interspersed with the people are these weird entities, with black hoods and no visible faces, just two glowing orbs (eyes) floating in darkness. Strangely, at one point, they animate the singers entire body to just be replace by what appears to be swirling dust in otherwise blackness. Also, some of the Asian woman dancers have pointed elf ears.
I think the weird elf dancers, dark aliens, and shark men all represent demonic entities in the world. The lyrics are about how the singer doesn’t like the radio songs (since they are not his) but still sings along. So, in context, the video is about how a party is actually full of demonic entities – therefore the lyrics are about how we are influenced by entities when we sing along to music. And the scene of the singer turning to darkness reveals his true nature – pure darkness.
The Feeling You Get – We again see the singers arrive in an Asian city through a portal in their flying car. In the city, a woman gives them a coin, and they make a big show of gratitude for it. After the songs, there is a long period of weird background sounds as we watch the singers walk through the Asian city in the foggy night. They arrive at a phone booth and use the coin to make a call to a woman who watches them through the window blinds. Their song happy like you continues this story: the woman watching through the blinds receives the call during which for a moment we see the lead singer’s face lit up in red but otherwise surrounded by darkness. Then we watch this woman dance around her apartment, and the roles switch so that now the lead singer is watching her through the blinds from outside. Interspersed through this scene, we see the singer’s face illuminated while otherwise being surrounded in darkness; we also see the woman trying to view through the window but only seeing her reflection. After the song finishes, there is a moment of background noise as we watch the woman step out of her apartment into the foggy rainy night.
So, these two songs are about demonic entities (represented by the singers) gaining influence over a person. When the Asian woman hands the coin to the singers, that represents the first time she opened the door to bad influences. When she answers the phone, that represents the demonic entities tempting her (with the call) and her giving in, thus opening the door even wider. This leads such entities to be watching her and singing to her (to which she dances along), though she can’t see them (the meaning of her not being able to see through the window). When she then steps out of her apartment, that represents a final move of submission towards these entities.
AEIOU – in the video, the signers are cyborgs – robot bodies and human heads – and dance in front of and along with a robot army. As the video progresses, eventually the singers turn fully robotic. I think this video is about how the outcome of the beast system is that the earth will be full of robots and cyborgs, with no proper humans left. These lyrics are noteworthy:
How come we’re slow
‘Til we get to know
How good life can go?
We lose the control
It’s too late to say no
These lyrics mean life is better as a robot, but once you choose to be one, you lose free agency and can’t go back (so please reader don’t take the mark of the beast).
The letters AEIOU are also interesting – they were used as a motto by the holy roman empire that meant “All the world is subject to Austria”. The implication is that this new robot army empire will be a continuation and fulfilment of the roman empire.
Television – The music video shows short scenes of various extremely creepy, clownlike, and demonic entities. Most notably is the clown angel (with wings) shown throughout (example at 1:48); in general this is one of the most disturbing of their videos I have seen. So yeah; it is depicting fallen angel demon entity things.
Since the lyrics mention cellophane, I searched “what is cellophanе” in google which led me down a strange rabbit hole. I discovered the search results to be very short because their word for cellophane actually has the cyrillic е at the end, rather than the classical latin e. From that search, I only got this present song Television, two other songs (Marc Mortimer – Cellophane & hyperbolicSunrays – My Insides Have Now Become My Outsides), and no other results at all. I won’t analyze these two other songs here because if you follow the provided links to the lyrics, you will find they are both pretty obviously creepy and demonic. What are the chances of that?
Revolve – has no music video, but the lyrics are pretty odd:
“…Individual stance
Underground heaven
Urban duck and cover
…Master wears the serpent
Serpent wears the slave
…Gotta give up your sensitivity
And follow the energy
We are the living energy
We are always giving our energy
Give me some of all that emotional sensitivity”
So, we see here references to Satan and his realm, as well as new age ideas about giving others our energy (or entities stealing our energy).
Wild World – again no music video, but has strange lyrics:
“…All my religions are slowly slipping away
…And your fragile mind
Is shaking lion’s door…”
Ask That God – no music video, but also has strange lyrics:
“I need the rest, I’m so depressed, I don’t feel the best, I need to live to survive
And all of this time, I’ve been waiting on you to call
On the fence, I have regrets, I must be the best, the dream becomes a fantasy
…I feel bad for getting mad, enemy has got the tanks, it’s endless, help my heart
…I lost part of my soul long ago
I never knew the undertow before
…Ask that God (Oh, just ask that God)
Just ask that God (Oh, just ask that God)
Be a river right through your blood
Be a river right through your blood…”
I believe the song is about losing control of yourself (“I feel bad for getting mad, enemy has got the tanks”) and losing part of your soul. This results in the singer becoming depressed, so therefore asking “that God” (i.e. Satan – who got part of their Soul) to finally end the singer’s own life (the meaning of “Be a river right through your blood”). And this was the song they decided to name their album after!
Clowns
For background, the reader must understand the idea that demonic entities look like clowns, and that often times people dress as clowns in order to channel such entities.
This YouTube series explains and proves this far better than I can: The Nephilim Clown Connection In 15 Minutes
Here is a summary of the first video:
Across ancient cultures worldwide, people dressed in elaborate costumes not for entertainment, but to channel spirits. The idea was that if you dress like an entity this allows the entity to possess you, and therefore channel through you power and knowledge.
Shamans, tribal leaders, and even entire communities painted their faces white, added red lines and dots, wore chaotic, multicolored outfits, and topped it off with exaggerated wigs or headpieces. And just to emphasize, this whole YouTube channel documents how the type of face paint and costume worn across vastly separated cultures tends to look very similar. As said, these costumes mimicked their “ancestor spirits”; these were not family members, but rather the Ancient Ones: the original hybrid rulers, builders of civilization – what the Bible calls the Nephilim. Their spirits, now disembodied, are the demons of scripture.
This practice didn’t vanish; it was simply absorbed into Western culture.
In the 1800s, Charles Dibdin Jr., the son of a prominent Freemason [and if you don’t know that Freemasonry is bad, I suggest searching it in Yandex], radically changed the look of theatrical clowns. He abandoned plain servant clothes and introduced the chaotic, psychedelic design we recognize today. This transformation mirrored Indonesian and Indian demon masks, which Dibdin would’ve seen while traveling the world in Masonic circles.
Enter Joseph Grimaldi, the most famous clown of the 19th century, who made the new design of clowns iconic. Artists drew him in poses identical to the Kalaung Sang, a Balinese demon called the “upside-down demon.” The visual match was direct and unmistakable. Grimaldi became a national idol—literally worshiped in theatrical form while dressed as a demon. [also to note, the way clowns are known for doing things backwards also seems symbolic]
From there, the clown spread into the circus, which was also founded by Freemasons like Barnum & Bailey and the Ringling Brothers. The Ringmaster of the circus in his top hat parallels the Worshipful Master in Masonic ritual. Circuses became open-air rituals, filled with hypnotic lights, spinning wheels, and madness—symbolically recreating the spirit realm where jesters and trickster entities dwell.
Today, the circus is gone, but the clown still remains in pop culture [most notably in celebrity fashion, horror movies, and drag queen shows].
So, this is what I postulate: the over the top psychedelic costumes and distinctly clown like makeup worn by the lead singer of the band is not coincidental. It is an imitation of a clown, or more specifically, of a demonic entity, to perform a ritual. And any artists who do adopt this look – whitening the face, darkening the eyes, and wearing psychedelic costumes – should not be trusted.
Conclusions
I understand some of my points here are weak. However, when considered as a whole, I believe there is no way all of the weird and creepy symbolism in Empire of the Sun’s music could occur by chance. Particularly, the videos Without You and Television actually are so disturbing that they haunt me.
Why do they have such Satanic Imagery?
Firstly, I think many artists have some sort of pact with dark forces where they perform services in exchange for fame and fortune (or an agreement with a producer who has such a pact).
I think the dark forces wish for media to bombard us with satanism to normalize it and make it seem cool. When we see satanism everywhere, it becomes harder to actually accuse someone of being satanic since it just seems ordinary; even if it is satanic, because it feels so conventional it stops feeling inherently evil or worth fighting. And for people on the fence, this type of media is used to make new age religions / meditation / yoga / or witchcraft seem appealing.
But much of the symbolism I discuss here is still far too weird for the prior explanations to hold weight. I think part of it is the spirit of religion – if you were to look into highly religious organizations you would see similar odd behavior. Beyond this, it also seems like these artists are simply sort of going insane and you can see it in their music.
Personal Thoughts on Luciferianism
Not going to lie, after watching all of these videos from Lindsey Stirling and the Empire of the Sun, part of me feels like Satanism is cool and attractive (but of course it isn’t).
If my life had gone differently, I think I might have gone down the path of darkness – given I can easily astral project and believe the law of attraction works (please don’t do it though since it is new age / we should pray to God, not to ourselves). I think the barrier for me was: since I have always known witchcraft works, the mental conflict in my head was not “does it work or not” but rather “should I do it or not” – and the answer of course is NO since you don’t want to lose salvation etc. Ironically, I think people with less belief in the supernatural have a greater tendency towards witchcraft, because – since they are hung up on the question “does it work or not”, they never get to the question “should I do it or not” – thus, once they realize it works, it just seems (to them) like obviously a good idea.
So, my message to the reader is: don’t engage in witchcraft in any way shape or form because, when we engage in the practices of the adversary, that gives him influence over us. And if you have done this stuff before, it is not too late to obtain forgiveness (after all, Jesus even took captive death – Hebrews 2:14–15), so you should seek to return to God by fully rejecting your past.
Music in General
Back to the discussion of music: My overall point is not to specifically attack one artist, but to attack the entire modern music industry. Sadly, every single one of my favorite modern artists have ended up having undeniable satanic imagery in their music videos (discussed in More Betrayal and Other Things).
There just has to be something very wrong with music if only satanic people are able to make excellent songs. My conclusion is that music is a form of emotional manipulation, making it a class of witchcraft. I think God intends us to become happy by improving our circumstances, not by consuming a substance or virtual substance (music). Therefore, I think it is not good to listen to music all the time (as I have been doing) – music should be listened to sparingly, and said music should be well chosen to only be uplifting.
Another thing worth noting: if you’re like me, classical music can feel unsatisfying because it expresses only tranquility—something that’s hard to relate to when life is often sad or stressful. So, we end up drawn to darker music that reflects our inner state. But here’s the problem: we shouldn’t seek music that aligns with ourselves, but rather music which aligns ourselves with the divine. Or at the very least, we should avoid music that pulls us further away from the divine (as is the case for all melancholy or sad songs in my view).
And no, I haven’t had any dreams or visions warning me against music, nor is this something discussed in the Bible (beyond vague references in Amos 6:4–5, Isaiah 5:11–12). However, I have had confirmations that we shouldn’t listen to music – to quote the last dream article:
“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 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;
…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).”
The Vision
Wow, this discourse on music was far lengthier than expected.
Onto my experience this morning: since I stayed up late last night, today I slept in till 9am. I didn’t have any spiritual dreams, despite my expectations – so I prayed about it and felt like I should try to fall asleep again. Which is odd, because I had to check out of the room I was staying in today, and already was short on time to pack up my things. But I tried to fall asleep anyway.
As usual, I tried to repeat prayer mantras as I fall asleep. I usually forget the mantra, but this time I remembered it because I didn’t actually fall asleep but instead had a vision. The mantra was:
“Lord, I Looove you and I Looong you. I pray for dreams, visions, and revelations, which are a testimony for your son. In the name of Jesus Christ amen.”
To go into excruciating detail, the original mantra actually was:
“Lord, I Looove you and I Looong to return to your kingdom. please prepare me to return to you. I pray for dreams, visions, and revelations about the coming judgements, mysteries of the kingdom, and instructions for the saints. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.”
But that mantra was too long for my sleepy mind, so I shortened it. I then felt inspired to add the part “which are a testimony for your son”.
Thus, after praying the mantra in my head, I started to feel astral projection like sensations – I felt this sort of high of energy, and my body felt very light. It then felt like parts of my body started to float up. If you have been following me, I basically get this feeling every time I am about to astral project or have a vision. It feels like my body is floating underwater in the ocean, with a slight current going back and forth – thus my body might slowly drift up, but then drift sideways, or drift back down. This part can be confusing – often times I feel like I have fallen off my bed to the ground, and therefore I need to get back on my bed – but I actually am astral projecting, and so when I make the movement to get back on the bed, I immediately zoom back to my body which is already on the bed (in the beginning phases of an astral projection for me, if I move any muscles it stops the experience).
Anyway, in this experience, I never fully started floating – I just felt like parts of my body were so light they had floated a few inches off the bed. As this was happening, I physical heard (not mentally, but physically) the voice of a woman who seemed to be on a spiritual podcast. The podcast was named “Chelsy, with spiritual times with Christ” – so the woman’s name was “Chelsy”. She was on a monologue where she discussed how sometimes people think their spiritual callings are mundane or don’t matter, but that actually everyone’s callings have a purpose and we should never think they are not important.
After this ended, I felt like I should continue praying. So I did, and received all the same strange sensations in the same manner, but this time I heard (again, physically heard) a different voice. It was the voice of a child (perhaps 6 years old?) explaining a dream he had to his dad. The child said that there were these traps set by spiritual wolves for us (who are like bunnies – small prey animals), and how these traps are breaking because of the prayers of the saints. The child then exhorted us to perform spiritual warfare, saying that intercessory prayers make a huge difference.
Interpretation
Firstly, just to note: What happened here is my spirit left my body, putting me into a realm in which I could directly receive divine communications. It’s unclear how to classify this experience, but since I did not fall asleep, I decided to classify it as a “vision” even though I didn’t really see anything other than the room I was in (it’s weird, I still could see this room despite having closed eyes).
These visions clearly tell us to take the callings we feel we have received from God seriously, even if they don’t seem important. One of the most important of our callings (which everyone has) is to engage in intercessory prayer, especially for the elect, that they are not deceived by the adversary and are able to come unto God.
The message about how our callings all matter reminds me of a different dream: Come unto God and Serve Him. To quote that essay:
“Another scene: Jesus was saying to a group that we need to accept our tools given to us in an imperfect world to forgive one another and uplift one another so that we can be raised up.”
In summary: in this world sometimes it feels like our callings are unimportant, or that we are not equipped to fulfill our callings. However, these messages tell us that we need to continue faithfully attempting to fulfill whatever roll God has for us, no matter how small it may seem.
Alma 37:6–7
6 Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; and small means in many instances doth confound the wise.
7 And the Lord God doth work by means to bring about his great and eternal purposes; and by very small means the Lord doth confound the wise and bringeth about the salvation of many souls.
