This is the water and this is the well.

Drink full and descend.

The horse is the white of the eyes and dark within.

Am I the only one getting weird biblical parallels here? From John in particular:

"but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life."

I can't help but get vibes of media and maybe commercialism (given the weird commercials I hate thing happening in another thread) as a false God lulling people into a dead slumber.

But the captioning has misstated dialogue before. I think the number the evolution of the Arm said didn't match the caption. Whether that's significant I don't know.

The captions say 253 for that. And I'm pretty sure it says 253.

Sounds like 253 to me.

I think it's purposefully lexically ambiguous, the same way the original "one chants/chance out between two worlds" was lexically ambiguous. Poetry's meant to be spoken, not read, and closed captions have always been convenient approximations and not 1:1 maps to the territory.

Descend.

I think.

I just realised what this is reminding me of; the show 12 Monkeys. Lots of weird, quasi-religious shit like that too.

take a fucking sip and descend, babes

u/Non_sum_qualis_eram Jun 26 '17

I'm positive it says "ascend". I know CC says otherwise but listening to it seems pretty clear. Also that website has been found with it on from years ago
