What is The Lamb about, anyway?
>>129586734Look I love the Lamb but let's not pretend like the storyline is coherent and the main focus of the album. The story is basically "Rael has a strange encounter, then another, then another" and so on. Cut out the shit with the cocoon or the anesthetist and nothing is lost

>>129587064Why is there a lamb lying in Broadway and is it connected to the underworld travel?
>>129594910Here's the verse sort of. I'll relisten to the album this week and try to figure it out.
>>129594910http://www.bloovis.com/pages/lamb/Everything is explained here in more depth than you will probably find anywhere else online. Usually it's more fun to try to decide it all on your own but you have to have to have at least a fundamental understanding of the mystical aspects of world religions and occult metaphor (+ old pop culture references to really catch onto Gabriel's wordplay and puns especially in "Broadway Melody of 1974"). Features direct quotes from him and the other band members from over the years about what it means. Basically it is one long metaphor for the different stages of initiation into the Gnostic mystery cults
>>129597522Forgot to add the answer to your question >According to the dictionary, the Hebrew word “yisrael” means to struggle against God. Judeo-Christian references played a major role in the music of Gabriel-era Genesis, starting with the band’s very name. The Lamb’s songs might be considered within the context of the New Testament. Some things may begin to fall into place. Carrying the metaphor further, we can assume Real is a Christ figure. “The lamb lies down on Broadway” would then mean “Jesus Christ dies in New York.” At the end of the story, Rael sacrifices his life for his brother John, in spite of the numerous times John had forsaken him, and he loves him anyway. This is a very Christian attitude. On an unrelated note, “Rael” spelled backwards is “Lear”, which may be an intentional reference to the mad king of Shakespear.
