I just need to ask, did anyone else understand The Gardener as talking about a pedophile? :S
What a beautiful analysis, Koko! I haven't read Baudelaire's book, but most of what you have written seems to hit the nail right on the head of what he was aiming for. Your connection to the No Reflection video was also remarkable - also note how the women drink some sort of drink... perhaps it is connected to #3 Wine?
It's refreshing to read something well thought-out such as this. Thanks again.
Has anyone tried to decipher what's being said during the intro to Flowers Of Evil? I hear voices all throughout the intro and think I hear him say "this world" at the end of a sentence a couple of times...
you know it reminds me of the pink floyd flower thing too but with his fluers of his paintings.
At the beginning of the song I hear the voices saying "The head of the united nations has declared war," which of course makes no sense at all, but some of those words might be correct.
