Meaning of Sing The Sorrow
XImportant notes.
x Lesser important links.
x Supportive text/hints.
Things in bold or enhanced in some way are not just for being pretty, pay attention, they will come up again.
X Okay, before this album came out, they released a 10" disk, and called it "336".
No one could figure out why, and it was a bit of a secret. All they would really tell us was that when Sing the Sorrow came out, it would all be made clear.
Well, they dropped some hints in the meantime.
xOne time while upgrading the messageboard, they
left links to astrology, numerology, and the the chinese zodiac.
xAnother time, a hint was dropped... they said that
"336" wasn't really important.. it was just "what comes before."
-It came before Sing the Sorrow.
+Meaning that STS was "337." And we really had to figure out what 337 meant.
xAlso, there were the rabbits. They had posters and stuff with rabbits on them.
-And other weird mentions of rabbits.
+In the liner notes from STS, it says, "Rabbits are roadkill."
xSo Sing the Sorrow came out, and no one could figure it out.
XThen their short film, "Clandestine" came out.
- It had the cd, the dvd short film, and a 60 page little hardcover book, which was
like a big colored version of the cd booklet.
+ The whole style is of faded, worn pages. The pages are old and stained...
brownis
realize that some of the stains and smudges are actually red. All of
the stains are actually blood, and dried blood.
- Now, in the film, it starts with Hunter holding a box with the Sing the Sorrow
logo on it.
+ He is running through the forest.
+ He looks at a paper, and keeps running.
+The paper gets dropped, and you see that it says Room 37 at 3:33.
+He runs into a classroom full of kids.
*The board says, "nothing from nowhere."
+Then you see Adam playing cards.
*The box is on the table along with:

+He wins
+takes the box and goes to leave.
*but the box falls apart in his hands.

-It flashes to Dave in a cafe.
+He is writing in a book (the book that comes with Clandestine... it's like the
+A strange woman comes up and kisses him, stealing the box.
*She leaves, and he goes back to writing.
+He notices the box is gone, and leaves.
-It flashes to Jade walking into the classroom.
+the board says "I am no one at all."
- Then he walks through another door in the classroom
+which leads him into a house.
*You see him snooping through the house.
* He goes into the bathroom
*You see a hand at the door of the bathroom trying to open it.
*They unlock the door with a key.
-Jade jumps into the tub going down into the water.
*He comes walking out of the water on a beach.
* He walks across the sand to a small table where all the members sit
*He places the box on the table, and they open it.
End of film.
You never see what is or isn't inside.
xThroughout the movie, itf lashes the clock, which, for every person's scene, is on 3:33, and at the very end, I believe it's 3:37.
Looking up esoteric astrology, chinese
astrolgy, and numerolgy, among other things:
Clandestine means something secret or hidden.
Esoteric also means hidden.
"Miseria Cantare" is Latin for "Sing the Sorrow."
3 x 37 = 111.
777 represents god, or perfection.
In Transference, Dave wrote, "I'm 111 less than perfection."
777 - 111 = 666.
Interesting, yeah?
Three denotes divine perfection;
Seven denotes spiritual perfection.
In esoteric astrology, 336 represents physical death, and the events leading up to it.
There were only 2 songs on the 336 disk.
Some of the lyrics of one of the songs say,
"We're all now in dying days.... I gave up fighting. I've come to be these halos."
337 represents the act of reincarnation
This is important: In chinese astrology, Dave is a RABBIT.
He was born the year of the rabbit.
RABBITS CANNOT BE REINCARNATED.
-Rabbits are on their last life in this world, and do not have another chance.
xIn numerology, Dave's life path number is 3.
In some middle eastern philosophy, they say that there are 37 deeds you must do before you can reach nirvana, or peace/heaven, and be done on the wheel of life.
The whole cd goes in a circle. The sounds at the end are backwards. They end in the same beat and same key as the beginning of the cd.
It's one continuous loop.
X The music before "This Time Imperfect" is the same playedforward as it is played backward.
X The front of the album has the symbol of falling leaves.
Falling leaves represent death, and returning to the earth.
X The back of the album has a symbol of water.
Water represents rebirth.
All of the art for this album has been circles.
-Another symbol of something repeating, of reincarnation.
Also, at the beginning of the film, Hunter is running through the forest (leaves) , and at the end, they're on the beach (water) .
The black fluid in the bathtub relates to "Bleed Black."
The chrysanthemum on the card table relates to "The Great Disappointment."
It's all crazy!
X Basically, the whole theme is death and reincarnation, and the fact that
he CANNOT reincarnate again!
-Look at the song lyrics.
*Although each song as a whole isn't about this, there are specific lines
that corroborate this theory.
Example: "Discarnate." or "Nothing from nowhere, I'm no one at all."
Discarnate means being bodiless. Like floating in time and space.
-There are other questions as well, like
*Well, since the cd is one big circle, we don't believe that it actually
*At the end of Clandestine, there is breathing... Just like at the beginning
**I believe that the album BEGINS!**
~with Bleed Black.
-That would put the song as beginning after Clandestine.
[ -There was a theory that the box at the end was just empty. ]
* The first words are,
*So, if it starts with Bleed Black, the breathing at the beginning could represent life.
~Being born, perhaps?
- That would put the song whose lyrics say,
"recreate me" and more importantly:
"I know I died that night, and I'll never be brough back to life once again."
-So, playing that as the first song, and going full circle around the cd, that puts the leaving songs into order, and ends the cd with The Leaving Song Pt II.
-Now, some people think that Davey "Dies" over the course of this cd.
*Some say that the "Death" (if there is one) occurs during This Time Imperfect.
~That would make sense that Miseria Cantare would be the beginning... from nowhere.
*Then comes The Leaving Song Pt II
~whose very first lyrics say
"Don't waste your touch, you won't feel anything."
>The spanish in the song says,"Yo he estado aqu muchas veces antes y regreso"
"Yo regreso aqu otra vez y comenzo"
"So I return here once again and I begin".
Like being reborn.
The circle of birth and death and rebirth.
"I saw its birth. I watched it grow...."
-Also the fact that the poem is read as in the3 stages of life.
+Like he is aging through it.
