Rock music, Horror movies, Disney, anything with symbolism/etc is welcomed

I made this topic because i had found some information and stuff but didnt want to add it to other topics in case it may not have belonged in there.

\

rock:

side note: i feel like the sheep mentality has been instilled since long ago, because the pattern is always the same when something gets out. ill explain. lets take the “satanic panic” phrase for example. everything was fine in rock, but then a switch happened, suddenly you had parents concerned about rock music and the message they had, because of the symbolism, signs, etc. and i feel as though it was such a huge thing, mainstream at that particular moment, but then the phrase “satanic panic” came from it and dismissed the ideas. people then also jumped on that(i’m young and wasn’t born then, i’m just speaking as someone who listens to rock and speaking based on the information that i know, so i cant say for 100% that it’s exactly how it went down). the phrase is now said to dismiss blatant symbolism. i think of how its been imbedded in rock(take slayer, iron maiden, and motorhead for an example.) and everyone just goes along with it and continues to ignore it by just saying its “satanic panic”. (which i think was their plan all along, the elites, almost kinda like with rap.) in conclusion it pingpongs, theres one idea, then it gets called out, then it goes back to normal and the majority opinion overules and people dont question it because it has now become the main idea so people dont follow(sheep mentality.)

|

i listen to rock and i dont believe all bands are satanic, but at the end of the day we do never know. i’ve seen the power of rock and a lot of bands/members stand on business defending whats right/protest, going against the government and so forth. but again at the end of the day some can swing both ways. also we’ve seen with how they created rap to control and promote negative actions. in the rock world there’s a lot of symbolism that is apart of the whole vibe now(but i believe that rock has a more positive impact, take punk for example.) for example:

| you’ll see people raising their hand making this sign :love_you_gesture: at every single rock concert, and everyone’s doing it. also the pentagram, horns, skulls, blood, etc. which blurs the lines between rock vibe, and satanic symbolism, but i believe that the symbolism has become apart of the vibe. so people use the excuse of “it’s just rock, nothing satanic.” we can look at the rolling stones or the beatles(sgt pepper album had crowly on the cover) and it’s blatantness but yet people will deny.

this youtube channel has some good videos about satanism in rock, they have i believe a 2 hour documentary sort of video

^whats ironic is i was in a restaurant and one of his songs on this album came up so i used songkick, right when i saw the album i thought wow, 100% has symbolism.

https://www.instagram.com/p/DY4pmGypuJP/

^this guy says a lot of stuff, surprised they haven’t gotten rid of him. he also mentioned(i think in another video or this one not sure) that they try making human animal babies, and they have them in tanks(something along those lines).

^i am young, but it does make me confused how with all this blatant stuff that people didn’t change their views, maybe some people stayed hidden because it’s always easier to go with the current than against.

horror movies:

i feel as though horror movies is just a genre full of that word where they need to put it in your face(like tell you about it because then its not their fault because they put it out there and told you, sorry i forgot the name of it!) example would be rosemarys baby, im a huge horror fan and never really questioned anything, i just thought “wow how do they come up with this.” but finding this forum really made me look back on rosemarys baby, its a women who is gets pregnant and is surronded by a cult trying to get her baby and in the end she gives birth to a demon baby(honestly its been years since ive watched that movie so the details may not be spot on.) another is the substance, which i know there is a forum on here for the movie, but wanted to mention it as i feel like its another cover to say that “its just a horror movie, hey this isnt real” sort of thing. IT is really just, weird. i mean an ancient demon thing who loves kids and eat them? this clip i found of stephen king:

Song Bio7 contributors

This song is sung in first person form, with Mick Jagger playing no one else but Satan himself. He documents events through history that could be seen as “works of the devil.” The Rolling Stones took some serious heat for singing a song from the devil’s perspective, but the point of the song is more about the flaws in mankind. It was never intended as devil worship.

There was a rumor that this song was playing when a fan died at the Rolling Stones gig at the Altamont Free Concert, but it was actually “Under My Thumb”. Despite that, the Stones didn’t perform this song for at least 5 years (as they played it on tour in 1975) after the incident.

These lyrics were inspired by the book “The Master and Margarita” written by Mikhail Bulgakov. In this book Devil (and his ‘gang’) roam around Moscow in the 1930s and play tricks on stupid/greedy people.

This song was the band’s second single from their 1982 album. It was influenced by the 1978 horror movie Damien: Omen II, which is about the 13-year-old Antichrist. It is one of Iron Maiden’s most famous and one of heavy metal’s most recognizable songs.

Basically, this song is about a dream. It’s not about devil worship.

Steve Harris

The song starts with a quote from the Bible, read by British actor Barry Clayton; the first lines from Revelations 12:12 and the last three from Revelations 13:8. The band wanted the horror film actor Vincent Price to read this intro, but he wanted more money than they were willing to pay.

During the recording of the album, there were rumors floating about that supernatural occurrences had been going on in the studio, such as lights flipping on and off, strange noises and visions of Satan, that culminated in a car accident their producer Martin Birch was involved, the bill of which was 666 GBP. This was used as evidence that Satan and the Antichrist had a hand in making this. Many preachers and enemies of rock music were led to believe Maiden were Satanists because of the song’s title. Steve Harris replied: “They completely got the wrong end of the stick. They obviously hadn’t read the lyrics. They just wanted to believe all that rubbish about us being Satanists.”

Bruce Dickinson’s high-pitched scream at the end of the intro was a result of producer Martin Birch forcing the band to replay the intro several times. Dickinson became so fed up with the constant repeats that he emitted the scream out of frustration, and it fit so well that the band decided to keep it.

Song Bio2 contributors

This song has a double meaning; on one hand it references the Bible book with the same title and on the other hand it has to do with Aleister Crowley, an occultist and founder of Thelema, who considered himself to be the Antichrist. Crowley believed man was supposed to struggle against nature in order to exercise his brain, something religion strongly opposes. Crowley’s ideas were a revelation of something the religious leaders want to oppress, so the title is a pun with the title referring to two entire opposites.

The lyrics contain many references to Hinduism and Crowley’s philosophy.

The song was composed by Bruce Dickinson, and it is, in fact, the first song ever to be written by him alone.
Also, in an interview, Dickinson explains how the Chesterton’s hymn that opens the song came to be included in it:

I did… have a fondness for hymns; I loved some of the ritual, some of… I mean, it’s beautiful words. “Jerusalem” and, there was another one (ah… with words by… uh… G.K. Chesterton), “O God of Earth and Altar” – very fire and brimstone: “Bow down and hear our cry”, you know. And I… I used that for an Iron Maiden song, called “Revelations”. In my strange, clumsy way I was tryin’a say: look, it’s all the same stuff.

“Chains of Misery” is about the little devil that sits permanently on our shoulder. This little devil who can ruin your life. For instance, you meet a girl, you have a great relationship, and all of the sudden you do something stupid with no apparent reason, and you wonder… “Why am I doing this?” You don’t really know why you act the way you do, but you feel that you have to do it. Maybe it’s a feeling of guilt that drives you, maybe you feel that you’re not “good enough” to deserve all this… In any case, you act against your own interest without really knowing why.

\ iron maiden has way more symbolism but theres just too much to go through. i also tried to do it based on the title name to find stuff, so im sure theres more under different names. they also have lots of religious references/mentions.

bad bunny:

when these came out i thought it was really weird, a little scary.^^^

one eye symbolism?

i think its weird that hes had only 8 albums within 10 years. his first album being in 2018 (X 100pre) being a 1 one as the cover that has arms wrapped around the eye kinda like a snake. then his second album was with a popular artist having a shared album(j balvin) in 2019. he has a bunch of collaborations with famous artist even before he realeased an album. i was trying to find if he realeased music within 2016(when he became an artist) to 2017, but it only mentioned collabs, so i clicked on his discography. first album had 66,000 sales, then the one after somehow had 1,444,000, dont get me wrong unfortunately i think his music is fire, but that is a major jump, i mean whats the coincidence that the first sales is 66,000 then the second 1,444,000? also how interesting that the pattern of sales, one doesnt do well, but then next one does, then goes bad again, then good.

sales:

66,000

1,444,000

348,000

3,400,000

184,000

2,883,000

if you check the link it also gives his singles and he has a ton.

he has a song called “You Don’t Mess With Goats”

“The new religion, I’m the new era” one of the lyrics. he had a tour called “the new religion”

how does a new artist get someone as famous as chris brown? even the venue is not big.

Pink Floyd - Sheep lyrics,

Hopelessly passing your time in the grassland away
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air
You better watch out
There may be dogs about
I’ve looked over Jordan, and I have seen
Things are not what they seem

What do you get for pretending the danger’s not real
Meek and obedient you follow the leader
Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel
What a surprise

The look of terminal shock in your eyes
Now things are really what they seem
No, this is no bad dream

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by
With bright knives he releaseth my soul

He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places
He converteth me to lamb cutlets
For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger
When cometh the day we lowly ones

Through quiet reflection, and great dedication
Master the art of karate
Lo, we shall rise up
And then we’ll make the bugger’s eyes water

Bleating and babbling we fell on his neck with a scream
Wave upon wave of demented avengers
March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream

Have you heard the news?
The dogs are dead
You better stay home
And do as you’re told
Get out of the road if you want to grow old

Slippery People - Talking Heads.

What about the time you were rollin’ over?
Fall on your face, you must be having fun
Walk lightly, think of a time
You’d best believe this thing is real

Put away that gun, and this part is simple
Try to recognize what is in your mind?
God help us, help us lose our minds
These slippery people help us understand

What’s the matter with him? (He’s alright)
How do you know? (The Lord won’t mind)
Don’t play no games (he’s alright)
Love from the bottom to the top
Turn like a wheel (he’s alright)
See for yourself (the Lord won’t mind)
We’re gonna move (right now)
Turn like a wheel inside a wheel

I remember when sittin’ in the tub
Pulled out the plug, the water was runnin’ out
Cool down, stop actin’ crazy
They’re gonna leave, and we’ll be on our own

Seven times five, they were living creatures
Watch ‘em come to life right before your eyes
Backslidin’, how do you do?
Are these slippery people gonna see you through?

What’s the matter with him? (He’s alright)
How do you know? (The Lord won’t mind)
Don’t play no games (he’s alright)

For all of its heavy riffing and dark imagery, “Highway to Hell” is a depiction of something altogether more lighthearted. A typical move, considering the overriding sense of humor and fun the band proudly held onto.

Bon Scott sings about how his life is a wild ride comparable to a highway to Hell (in a bit of tragic irony, he died by drinking himself to death within a year after the album’s release).

The song was released as the first single off the album. It is one of AC/DC’s most popular and famous tracks and has been played at almost all of AC/DC’s live shows since its release.

A lot of people have noticed the duality this song shares with another monumental rock song from the same time period; Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway To Heaven”. Both were huge hits and eternal evergreens, and they contradict each other both metaphorically Stairway/highway + heaven/hell and musically, one being a long, soft ballad, the other being an up-tempo, hard-hitting short rock song.

could he have been a sacrifice?

these are just a couple, also a lot of their songs are sexual or have implications/Innuendos.

The song Sympathy for the Devil, by the Rolling Stones, is a rip-off of Mikhail Bulgakov’s novel The Master and Margarita, which also happened to be Mick Jagger’s favorite book at the time.

do u understand his lyrics? what do u think is fire of his music? and artists sales go like that because of Playola, meaning his own record label makes tons of purchases of his own music so he can rank higher in the charts and get established Promo, is an investment that pays off when they don’t spend any of that money on the next record as fans will automatically run to buy it, then with other album they spend $$$ again to manufacture higher success and give the perception his back, then the next album they don’t spend $$$ because they know fans will be automatically wanting to see what comes next and purchase the record themselves, is a cycle.

OH No! That’s not what the song is called or what it means. TU NO METES CABRAS, is a Puerto Rican expression used for eons. I am puerto rican (born/raised here in the island). It means You don’t scare me. When someone lies, in Puerto Rico you say that. “Tú no mete’ cabra” translates literally to “you don’t put goat in,” but contextually in Puerto Rican slang, it means “you don’t intimidate me,” “you’re all talk,” or “you can’t fool me.” It is also used to call out someone who is posturing, flexing, or trying to act tough and scary when they actually aren’t. The phrase originates from traditional Puerto Rican gaming culture, most notably dominoes and cockfighting. In dominoes or card games: “Meter cabra” meant attempting a bold bluff with a weak hand to make opponents fold or play defensively. That’s what Bad Bunny does, he uses popular local old poor communities phrases and expressions and make songs out of them, so locals think he is this ultra humble relatable figure. It’s the same repetitive formula in almost all of his lyrics. But the GENIUS Site lyrics that translate it is WRONG. It says “son of a bitch” but in Spanish the song actually says: sarabambiche (look for the spanish lyrics not translated), which is supposed to be Suck of my dick, but in Puerto Rico, dick is: Bicho, Bad Bunny says biche because that’s how little kids pronounce it. Also says Saraba instead of suck of, again this a playful way of uneducated spanish people attempting to speak english, saying foreign words how they perceive they sound, with different vowels to make them appear Spanglish. It’s what the culture do in a humorous way.

Little kids love that track because its how they speak, a total mess, noise that sounds like words, but aren’t actual words. A literal MESS! So those lyrics in reality, it is a playful Puerto Rican phonetic adaptation of “suck my dick,” combining an imitation of English sounds (“saraba”) with local slang (“biche,” a childish pronunciation of bicho). This intentional reshaping reflects a common cultural humor in Puerto Rico, where American English phrases are humorously adapted based on how they sound to native Spanish speakers. So the song became a “banger” with children, young people and dumb adults.

He recorded with Big names already well established Puerto Rican legends, and the songs were really hits, but it marked a transition in Puerto Rican reggaeton music, (the genre he makes), a genre known for giving birth to harsh beats, young fast lively vocals, with serious bad lyrics of adult real life street gangster savage cut throat vulgar, narco life, extremely hardcore pornographic music; then once Bad Bunny started to release his albums, he shifted the genre entirely, he established slower, older sounding, deeper vocals, to lyrics that are soft, playful, vulgar, humorous, play-pretend-fake gangster, slightly-ish pornographic. A shift never done before in this genre of music. But yes, the Popular established artists were doing duets with him, that’s how a nobody became someone, but then released his ultra funny due with Becky-G where he changed his voice to sound like an old grandpa character even deeper slower voice, while Becky-G was singing about loving older grandpa men, Bad Bunny who was just 22 years old was singing and acting like he was some 72 sugar daddy. So the humor of it all catapulted him to “stardom” in reality behind the scenes he had already done alliances with Puff Diddy (viral videos from that time confirm it) so this elite influence in production started at that exact time he became a global phenomenon. Other massive Puerto Rican artist Daddy Yankee (singer of Despacito and “Gasolina”) Confirmed in a recent interview that Bad Bunny has done certain rituals to gain fame. So that explains a lot.

What have bad bunny said that makes u happy?

I’m doing this through my phone so it may not be organized well. Firstly I just want to say thank you for the reply giving your insight, I’m not Puerto Rican but Mexico so I’m not fond of the slang used. I should’ve specified that I think the songs sound good in my personal opinion, the lyrics I don’t like nor agree with, depending of the song. As someone who has been bullied a lot and made fun of i really like his song “estamos bien” specifically this part: Hoy me levanté contento, hoy me levanté feliz (Jeje)
Aunque dicen por ahí que están hablando de mí, ey (Na’; ey)
Joda, que se joda, que se joda, ey, ey
Joda, que se joda, que se joda

Hoy me levanté contento, hoy me levanté feliz
Aunque dicen por ahí que están hablando de mí, ey (Ey)
Joda, que se joda, que se joda, ey, ey
Joda, que se joda, que se joda, ey (Yeh)

Some of his songs not caring about what others is what I like because it helped me. not ones where he is talking about vulgar things. The sound of it(his songs) like I said previously is something I like as well, I used to not care about lyrics and can block them out while vibing to the music, but now I care about what is being said in lyrics(which is why I don’t listen to rap anymore.) as for things he has said that makes me happy is he has spoken up about trump, ice, etc. here are some links:

(I’ve seen a lot of videos as well about more information on it but I can’t find them)

Since (I believe) the beginning of this year or last I’ve been looking into things more which is why I had posted about bad bunny, because he was my favorite artist, but since figuring out things I wanted to see others perspective, which is why I really appreciate your insight!

I had also seen the videos with diddy and that confirmed it for me.(to stop supporting him)

I also have not heard all his music, just some collabs, certain songs from certain albums and I think only 2 full albums so I can’t say that I know exactly what his lyrics from certain songs are about. I think his vibe of not caring is what I liked about him because there was a point where I tried really hard to be friends with others, but I later accepted the truth.
