What Lucifer represents in Christian mythology is essentially the same thing as Prometheus in ancient lore—the bringer of light. The only real difference lies in how medieval Christian doctrine paints Lucifer as a fallen angel who betrayed God, condemning him to be the ultimate villain, eternally exiled to hell.
On the flip side, according to those ancient myths, Prometheus was actually the greatest humanitarian among the Titans; he was the one who taught humanity all sorts of essential skills and, most importantly, gifted us with fire, which was his way of sticking it to a tyrannical god.
Because of that defiance, he was chained to a rock in the Caucasus, much like how another central figure in Christian tradition was crucified on Calvary.
It feels like revolution always ends up devouring its own children. But then again, I suppose everything in life just boils down to perspective.

I’ve always been of the opinion that I refuse to believe in a God who acts like a tyrant—someone who wants to punish the very people He created just because of some trivial nonsense, like having one too many drinks or eating too much at dinner. At its core, the logic behind religion is identical to how our laws work here in the States: it's all about keeping the sheep under tight control, except religion wraps that control in some palatable myths.

Hell yeah, stonesi

It’s difficult for me to dive deep into religious debates since I was raised in an intensely atheistic environment, but I certainly agree with the sentiment that the masses need to be kept under control at all times.

I stumbled upon this channel filled with a massive amount of unreleased Radiohead material, so if anyone is interested, here

Grand Ballet. Inna Bilash and Nikita Chetverikov. Radio and Juliet

If someone ever asked me to play a track I consider perfect—whatever that means—this would be right at the top of my list. It’s one of those rare songs that captures how life is simultaneously beautiful and a total mess.

Edit: just realized this mix isn't nearly as good as the one I'm linking below—that's the one you actually need to hear.

gin and Milk no One gives a fuck about The values i would die for not The faceless civil servants The rudimentary crack whore no One gives Two fucks about The values i would kill for Give them something to die for ovaj

Nobody cares about the principles I'd go to the grave for
Forget those nameless bureaucrats
Or some random addict on the street corner
People just don't give a damn about the ideals I'd fight for
We need to give them something worth dying for

I think the last time I listened to this was maybe ten years ago...

They were the absolute kings of American pop back in those years—honestly, not everyone can write a song that’s this tender yet absolutely gut-wrenching at the same time.

Just heard today that my old landlord from back when I was in college—lived there three years—is terminally ill. Apparently, he’s only got a few days, maybe a week left. Because of everything going on, I can’t even get to the hospital to see him, and I can't talk to him either since his family says he's basically out on morphine. We haven't spoken or seen each other in seven years, but man, I'm getting choked up thinking about those daily deep talks we used to have—just me venting about my early twenties over coffee and cigarettes in his massive backyard after my classes would wrap up.

He was a friend of Mia

Since we're talking about songs about friendship—honestly, this might be one of the best I've ever heard on the subject.

It might be worth keeping an eye on the career of Fantastic Negrita just a little bit.
