[Part 1 TLDR] There is conclusive evidence indicating a Grammy Award winning band has been undercover orange-pilling millions of listeners for nearly a decade. Bitcoin is the key that unlocks their “cryptic” music.
You can find Part 1 here: #167811
Moving on to Part 2; uncovering the bands 2nd album, ‘Anthem of the Peaceful Army.’
Released in 2018, Anthem of the Peaceful Army was a quick follow up to their first album but it did not disappoint. The title alone can be interpreted as Bitcoin music, but the most evident clue that these guys are orange pilling is the album cover itself.
The cover shows an orange landscape with two suns shining above; one is bright green and the other is orange but less bright. Through the lens of Bitcoin this communicates the parallel worlds/monetary energy of Bitcoin and Fiat/dollars… essentially visualizing Gresham’s Law. On the horizon you can make out silhouettes of the band leading an army of people to the orange land. At the center of the album cover stands a large orange dome; I’ll leave that interpretation up to you…
“The Second Sun’s our love’s desire”
Take a look for yourself…
Let’s get into it. The album opens with the track titled ‘Age of Man,’ which was released prior to Age of Machine but is the period that follows…
“In an age of darkness light appears
And it warns away the ancient fear
March to the anthem of the heart
To a brand new day
A brand new start
And as we came into the clear
To find ourselves where we are here
Who is the wiser to help us steer?
And will we know when the end is near?
They pass the torch and it still burns
Once children then it’s now our turn”
#forthekids
The second track, ‘The Cold Wind’ tells of a coming storm… among other things…
“The snow is comin', all the village folk know (few…)
This wicked shiver, chills me down to my soul, oh
Only time will tell
Take the ox to town and you can sell
And leave me in my bed (hodl)
Today
The Yankee peddler bargains with you on his way (shitcoiners/ traders/scammers)
Whoa, sweet mama's gotten herself a new dray
Keep the children snug as the wagon rolls on
When the cold wind blows most of them will be gone, oh”
Before moving on there are a couple things to point out in The Cold Wind. First and foremost, GVF isn’t selling. Second, this song was written and released shortly after the first Lightning transaction was made and a “dray” is a horse drawn wagon typically used for transporting heavy loads and commodities… like gold…
“Whoa, sweet mama's gotten herself a new dray” ⚡️
The next track, When the Curtain Falls is another fun interpretation. The song tells the end of a mystical Hollywood celebrity’s career. Through the lens of Bitcoin this is revealed to be the personified end of Gold as a monetary good.
“Well, listen darling
It's been real swell
What can I say, you've done it all
You're a one woman show
But I'm not gonna lie to you
You could use a little work, well
At your age…
When the curtain falls
Walk the hollow halls, babe
Once a valley doll (get it?)
Now you're not at all, no
Goodbye, baby, goodbye”
When the Curtain Falls was accompanied by another cryptic music video in August of 2018. Without getting too far into the weeds, the video includes hooded figures with what appears to be laser eyes. As far as I can tell, this could be the first instance of laser eyes in Bitcoin history (the character in my profile picture).
Moving on to the next track titled ‘Watching Over.’ Like Tears of Rain in Part 1, this song also voices environmental concerns. The song begins with a juxtaposition of oil (petrodollars) and Bitcoin.
“Many long years amongst the trees
Many long years in the ground (oil)
To be with one that's never seen (Bitcoin)
The one that stands and watches over
I wonder when we'll realize
This is what we got left
And it's our demise
With the water rising
And the air so thin
Still the children smiling
Can we see no sin
Even though we couldn’t believe
It’s only clearer in mirror
Now”
The next song, ‘You’re the One is essentially a Bitcoin love song… even amongst all the fud…
“Babe, ain't no denyin'
That I've got you in my head (keys)
You're the one I want
You're the one I need
You're the one I had
So come on back to me
Babe, you're so young and pretty
But you're evil, you oughta know (fud)
Darling, ain't that a pity
Won't you stand yourself and show, yeah!”
Next up is ‘The New Day.’ The band proclaims their commitment to Bitcoin which they personify as a young child as well as love.
“Let the new day shine its light on me
Shake the old way, nights too dark to see
Free tomorrow, it's bright with something new
Believe the righteous, and it will come true
You're a child in the garden
You're growing up I'll watch you bloom
And your dreams are not forgotten
You'll be a woman soon
Love isn't greed it's a need that goes unspoken
Love doesn't leave when you fade away
Pain isn't vain if it means your heart's been broken
Pain is the same as a means to heal
Let me try love, you know I'm only one
Live or die love, I tried and to me won
We're the future, it's hard to say we know
And the suture is what we have to sew”
After that is ‘Mountain of the Sun’ which is the land under the Second Sun. It can also be interpreted as any Bitcoin chart…
“The sun shines brighter from above
And you're the woman that I love
Climb the mountain even higher (📈)
To kiss the sun, fight the fire
I'll make you mine
You're my sunshine
Take me with you when you go
To be with you is all I know
As we ride, we light the fire
The Second Sun's our love’s desire”
The next track, ‘Brave New World’ is a reference to Huxley’s infamous novel… It also pays tribute to Satoshi…
“A silent child climbs a mound of char (Satoshi)
Where he plants a seed that grows beyond the stars
Take one look at your skies
And in the darkness realize
Kill fear, the power of lies
For we will not be hypnotized”
The second last track is a uniting tune appropriately titled ‘Anthem.’ I’ll let it speak for itself…
“With the news there's something every day
So many people thinking different ways, you say
Where is the music?
A tune to free the soul
A simple lyric to unite us all, you know
Your opinion only knows
The one thing that you seem to want to have most
And you chose
To save yourself in your own time
You'll have to stay and open up your own mind
In all the noise facing every day
The colored world has turned into a grey, you say
And from the void, the place in which we came
Can we step back and see we want the same
Oh lord
And every glow in the twilight knows [chant]
That the world is only what the world is made of
Just you and me can agree to disagree
And the world is only what the world is made of”
Lastly we have ‘Lover, Leaver, (Taker, Believer).’ Among many things this song describes the process of being orange pilled…
“Oh my holy Lord!
She sets my soul on fire
Flames of love and sweet perfume
She's my heart's desire
She's an angel straight from Hell
Draws me to the deep
In the darkness, way below
It's my heart she'll keep
Lover (of the old world)
Leaver (of fiat)
Taker (of the orange pill)
Believer (of the new world)”
That wraps up Part 2; the intro to Anthem of the Peaceful Army. Once again Bitcoin unlocks the meaning of each song revealing a level of orange pilling never seen before. I highly recommend listening to this whole album in order with the lyrics and forming your own interpretations. One more album to go…for now!
“To save yourself in your own time
You'll have to stay and open up your own mind”
