What can be said about this song? …seriously though, what can be said? There’s not a whole lot of substance here. Is it just a song about a very specific type of fashion? Not the best fashion, mind you, but very specific all the same. Then Omen comes in with the save, as usual.

Ian’s all about the romance this album. Not romance in the sense of candle-lit dinners and bouquets, mind you. But weird analogies and allusions to love and how much he needs his significant other. Kinda sweet, though, in its own way?

You’re in a noisy city you haven’t visited before. You can’t sleep. You hit the pub. You drink the hours away until you can barely keep your eyes open. You wake up and pay for it in the morning. Then you do the same thing over the following night in a different city. Life (and rocks) on the road.

Such a blue collar feel to this album. Ian is commiserating with the everyman. He is letting us know that he feels our pain, he knows what life is like. He used to save shillings to pay for heat, to then cook a can of stew on top of it. Or is this naughty, like Omen thinks, as usual?

A sister song to last week. We know about Baldr, and we know what happened to him. But what about Loki? Is he good-hearted and he gets carried away sometimes? Or is there malicious intent beneath the facade of the rascally scamp? We can probably interpret it both ways. And several other ways besides. And we probably will!

Gather 'round, kids. Let's talk about the god who brought us knowledge (and runes!), at the expense of just a simple eye. That guy drinking from the well over there - that's Odin.

Here we are. We've made it. The beginning of a new album. The beginning of a new universe. They come and go and disappear, but there's always another one. They cycle that was, is, and will be. Let's dive into some Norse mythology, baby!

Here we are, at the end of The Zealot Gene! A fitting song to wrap up the album. We see an aging character, near the end. What's he done with his life? How does he feel about it? How does this tie into the present day?

What's it all come down to? Love, that's what. Turns out the big man upstairs, and the man down here, knew what they were talking about. And we get to see that in practice in this delightful song.

Light song, heavy subject. The final destination for our friend JC. Or is it?! Hey, where'd he go? He took off, but only for the salvation of our mortal soul, so that's good.
