r/coheed song of the day #14: The Crowing
Here's my updated version of today's song of the day! Here's the link to the greatness.
The Fiction- his song is about Ambellina, a willing outcast from the Prise, and group of "angels" - blue women-like creatures with wings that guard the Keywork. She has literally had her wings burned off to make her more human. She has had little to no communication with the outside world outside from following Claudio and keeping him safe. Claudio has been hiding in a city on the world of Godder Damm for the past decade or so. Hence, Ambellina severed her ties to shroud Claudio under the streets of "this city."
The first half of the song is from Ambellina's point of view, ending with the line "I've parted three ways."
The second half of the song is Claudio coming to grips with fact that he is "The Crowing," a sort of savior that is supposed to rise up and save the Keywork from Wilhelm Ryan, the main antagonist of the series.

The Real- I like to think this song is about Claudio moving on from Nikki to his new gf, Chondra. I dont feel like typing too much after 11 hours of work. Basically, the line "I've parted three ways for you, the Newo that I have love". I feel like this is Claudio admitting that he's over Nikki Owen (Newo Ikkin). What these three ways he's parted with her are, I'm unsure, but... The next part about the character Claudio being watched over by Ambellina. I'm convinced that this is Claudio's way of introducing Chondra into the story, character-wise. Claudio wants to be "watched over" by Chondra(Ambellina). Yes. That's my shit. This shit is bananas. I'm tired.
The Part- I know most people will prefer the end of the song, for very good reason, but my part has to be when the song slows down. It's so so so pretty sounding. Knocked me down when I finally gave the song a chance.
Thanks for the patience folks. Contribute to discussion!!!
OH, AND IT'S NOT CALLED "THE CROWNING", GODDAMMIT
