Traditionally, English follows Latin usage by placing the "AD" abbreviation before the year number, though it is also found after the year. This dating system was devised in 525 by Dionysius Exiguus, but was not widely used until the 9th century. There is no year zero in this scheme thus the year AD 1 immediately follows the year 1 BC.
This calendar era is based on the traditionally reckoned year of the conception or birth of Jesus, AD counting years from the start of this epoch and BC denoting years before the start of the era.
#Domino meaning full
The term anno Domini is Medieval Latin and means 'in the year of the Lord', but is often presented using "our Lord" instead of "the Lord", taken from the full original phrase " anno Domini nostri Jesu Christi", which translates to 'in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ'. The terms anno Domini ( AD) and before Christ ( BC) are used to label or number years in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. Like I said, just my crazy interpretation of the images this song puts into my head.Anno Domini inscription at Klagenfurt Cathedral, Austria "time is running out for me" and he's talking to himself, AND to whoever is responsible for the violence "can you see what you have done? Do you know what you've begun?" as well as to "her." "Could it be that we shall be together again?"
So now the speaker has decided "I know just what I gotta do" to "fight to rise from this river of Hell." He's gonna take back the night. playing with boats" while the "river of blood" rises. "Hold each other near tonight, for will it last forever?"Īnd then he's also talking about the apathy of the "millions of ordinary people" and the "children. With all the talk of "blood on the windows" and "pointless violence, silent tombs" and talking about the girl who is almost there, and a couple of bits that make it look like the speaker is just barely holding on to sanity, it makes me think of a person who has lost someone else to violence. does the singer strike anyone ELSE as some kind of Batman-type figure? General CommentThis is probably just another one of my crazy interpretations, but. The dominos may be creating a theme of inevitability or fate. In the next stanza he's watching the news (this may be the next morning or a memory from the night before) he worries that his parter has been involved a tragic event being reported, and is looking for her in the footage as insanity creeps over his mind. Apocalyptic scenes are described, as the image of playing children appear, suggesting the terrors belong to him, and do not apply to anyone else. Terror dominates his mind as the concern for his parter inflates. He remembers a moment of intense intimacy before he falls asleep as we enter Part 2 of the song. His anxiousness drives him to believe she is standing outside the window for him. It's late at night, and he tries to sleep before his parter comes home (perhaps without knowing where she is). In the beginning of the Part 1, he's been sitting at a window for some time, anxiously anticipating the return of his partner. Song MeaningA story of his missing love interest and what seems to be a violent nightmare are told in this duology. There's nothing you can do There's nothing you can do 'Cause there's nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing There's nothing you can do when you're the next in line Play the game of happiness and never let on Now I'm one with the living and I'm feeling just fine Maybe if we're lucky, they will show it againīut there's nothing you can do when you're the next in line Well now you never did see such a terrible thing Take a look at the beautiful river of bloodĬhildren are swimming and playing with boats Will the nightmare soon give way to dreaming Nylon sheets and blankets help to minimize the coldīut they can't keep out the chilling sounds Sheets of double glazing help to keep outside the night As I try to pass another long and sleepless nightĭo you see we shall never be together again?Īnd all the pointless violence, silent tombsĬould it be that we shall be together again?
