the synesthesia of

The Arks

son of the arks

My vision for this is quite fractured and blurry.

 

It starts in an endless black void. A white light cracks through space.

Silhouettes traverse in front of the light, ever warping and changing in front of your eyes.

Thick smoke swirls in your vision, seemingly having a reason for obstructing it.

Just like the music video, I see flashing lights, cracked ground and dark wings.

 This song has no smell, or taste. Only sights and sounds.

Arcane Arts is quite a complicated vision as it contains so many evolutions as the song progresses.

 

We begin in a dark cave; a figures face is freckled by the reflection of glow worms in the stygian water they peer over. They appear to be a warlock of some sort and are conversing with a faceless voice in the pool they lean over. They are ancient and have travelled all the lands, through the Arks to the spirit world and back. Like a silvery mirage they have traipsed endless terrain, learning and using their magic. The build-up before the fast section feels like plummeting through space. Once grounded, they are surrounded by a tornado of their creation. Time lapses faster than the eye can see, resolving at an ocean glistening under a perfect golden sun. At the very end of the song, I see my character Erys being drawn toward the heavens, floating up away from the final Arks which form a circle beneath him.
