I don't know -- for me, it's kinda fun.

Check out the frame surrounding the video for "The One" -- I think he digs making the most of all avenues of communication -- plus, if he's cryptic enough and people get upset, he can say, "that's not what I meant" or "that wasn't the intention," etc.

just guessing

huh. The first time i downloaded Darling Nikki, and that shit at the end, i thought i downloaded some demon shit. And i thought i was the ONLY person that heard it. Like that baby at the end of Delirious. Or "Trampoline" in Tambourine. And what IS up with all that whispering shit? And i mean, if he's trying to tell us something, why all the RANDOM messages? Like what the hell is up with whispering "starvation" in Mountains? Mountains don't eat. And "Your soul belongs to God" well fucking DUH, but did you have to whisper the shit and scare the HELL outta me?

I liked the mirror messages (love; rose is the color of my queen; and "don't buy the Black album" inside the cd cover of the symbol album.

Been awhile since I've seen it, but I remember him mentioning "stauros -- not the cross" or something like that, and "Jesus is King" and other things like that. It was right at the time where he was getting heavy into the JW beliefs.
