Interpretations:Contrecoup

From This Might Be A Wiki

As mentioned in Interpretations:Contrecoup (Demo), this is a fairly straightforward song if you know the obscure words they use:

  • contrecoup: A head injury where the brain is bruised against the far wall from the impact
  • phrenology: The archaic study of the shape of the head and how it relates to your personality and fate; this was basically palm reading turned into a pseudo-science
  • craniosophic: The state of being well-versed in phrenology. Sophic = knowledge, Cranio = of the skull.
  • limerent: The state of infatuation or being in love

So, to summarize: Guy gets hit in the head, falls in love, but his vocabulary goes all obtuse and no one can understand him.

Just to add, he gets pushed into a wall by someone, that causes his contrecoup\brain injury, this causes him to suddenly fall in love with his attacker but can't convey his love due to the sustained head injury, and possible concussion, he has just received from his attacker\proposed beloved. I know it looks like I'm rehashing what you said, but I just wanted to clarify that the guy fell in love with his attacker... I suppose I could have just said that... Ah well. --Thaddius 14:39, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
