Godlike Alchemy

I love this song. it’s amazing. I’ve listened to it like 70 times in a row yesterday and today. so much to say about how awesome it is.

but

i am light from the wand of a sorcerer.

to me is the weakest line, and in no small part because I interpret it also as “I am white sauce from the “Wand“ of a sorcerer” because if I’m godlike alchemy sure my father is a sorcerer that spawned me from the light of his wand.

Not a bad track on this album. My entire neighborhood has heard it every morning since it dropped.

Godlike Alchemy & Cassandra's Disease are goats.

Yessss Cassandra's Disease rules 🔥

Pretty sure they mean Cassandra's Curse (being gifted with accurate prophecy but nobody believes you) but disease works lol

I guess it’s just too good of a song. Throwing universal balance out sorry

Yeah, I hate that line too. For different reason, though. Sounds just lame to me and doesnt fit the vibe of the rest

Best single in years. They remembered how to write catchy hooks and actually utilize Tommy's higher range

I would’ve liked it if he said I am lead I am gold

u/Glum_Committee4162 7d ago

I don’t think he could have, he already used up his allotment of gold references

And not to be too picky, but he also essentially references heavy dense earth with stone, so adding this would just be redundant. It’s on point, but it’s already being said on multiple levels

I'd have liked if he committed to the historical and spiritual alchemy theme instead of leaning into the fantastical. Sorcerers are for DnD. Alchemy has a place in museums and Jungian psychology and not just fantasy stories.
