I cant wait for the mind electric

He was in the forest looking to see banana man hopping over on the white hot sand

This guy is literally the hawaii part ii matpat

just in case you hadn’t noticed:: but the Stella Octangula is also faintly drawn over the moon on the Hawaii: Part ii cover, and snow is also referenced in the music video for Isle Unto Thyself when the whale lies down and snow falls atop him . hope this helps!!!

WAIT THAT'S BANANA MAN! (not even trying to make a tally hall reference that's the banana man thing)

I know this an old video *but* because of the reference to Apollo in the album and the lover’s main song having to do with Rainbows I personally call Stella/Betty Iris because she’s the Goddess of Rainbows. A fun fact is that she also in some myths allows Apollo to be born through helping his mom in a convoluted way.

Thanks for making these analysis videos! I'm a massive fan of tally hall but never really got into this album, except the mind electric and murders because they're so groovy (for lack of a better term). These videos have and will continue to help me understand and enjoy the rest of the album!

I got an alternative interpretation of this song One meteor split into 6 parts, each landing in regions later described by these 6 colors, from which came about 6-12 people All to find the black rocks from which arose a Stellar octangular island of black volcanic rock & grey silicate sands. Why? DON’T YOU REMEMBER? CONNECTED RAINBOWS!

*we are all ravenously awaiting the mind electric*

super great analysis! i think you really captured every aspect of the song so well, i can't wait to hear what's next!

I think that saying that Betty is the Stella Octongula is very interesting bc the main creator would mention the old quote “he who understands the Stella octangula will understand the secrets of the universe.” So essentially if Simon payed more attention to Betty and tried to improve their relationship before the wedding, she could’ve had a better fate.

repeating lyrics remind me of the reference you made to fractals. the bridge of the song repeating as well as the background vocals, the metaphorical bridge to the heavens which is the rainbow. the rainbow is connected to the song but also the blackness of the night sky and water seen in the album cover. the reflection of the water connects to the rainbow which makes the rainbow black. his rainbow is dark while hers is light, painting her as the good person and him being the bad guy. she frames him for her murder when he was under the influence but as we now know thanks to the last song, she lured him into her plan for some reason and now they're both fucked because they're both dead, but she was the real villain in the end which is probably why she laughs in White Ball. idk maybe I'm just ɘnɒƨni

Love these videos! I find your analysis of the album very interesting. It is one of my favorite albums and I love hearing other's analysis of the interesting lyrics of this album! Can't wait to see where your analysis goes!!!

I read somewhere that some people refer to the Stella octangula as “the key to everything if you can understand it” so idk but yeah

The female lead sings “Stella Octangula”, are we sure her name isn’t just Stella?

Fuuuck yah I’m so excited for white ball and labyrinth

I'm so ready for more analysis love this stuff

great video! i can't wait to hear you talk about murders and time machine :D

Excited for Murders!

I think the line "you draw them near" may have the double meaning of both "you bring me happiness" and also "you bring about my bridge to the afterlife"

aaa your so underrated!! amazing video 👏👏

I love this album

In my opinion, I thought the first song was called "Introduction to the snow" to kind of foreshadow how complex the album is. Snowflakes are very intricate, detailed, but also each one is unique and different. Maybe, each song is being represented by a snowflake. Each song is different, but they're all connected in the end, as each snowflake is different but it is all still snow. Every flake of snow makes up piles and piles of it, just how every song makes up the album. That's just me, though. Edit: I forgot to mention that the name is "Introduction to the snow" hence it is the introduction to the album. It could be referring to the story or the album itself as snow. People who see the bigger picture or taking it at face value and not interpreting the lyrics at all (the piles of snow) are going to miss the beauty of the lyrics and the stories they tell and their differences (the snowflakes individually). I guess it could just be a warning to not just listen to Hawaii part II and see beyond the happy and upbeat melodies or taking things too literally. Of course, this could also just mean "The album is complex and has MANY interpretations."

oh my goodness you are way better at making connections than me i didn't connect the theme of 8 with Stella / Betty's character and the IUT music video ;-;

Wow. This is a pleasent surprise. These guys dropped an awesome album and a single and dipped.

Hear me out on this one boys Introduction to the snow is literally a sea shanty "Alone at the edge of a universe humming a tune, with sparking crystal souls aglow" is simon sailing to hawaii singing a sea shanty, implying the theory that he's a sailor+

okay so i was gonna wait for that question till the next video but seeing you *very* regular upload of hawaii part II analysis im gonna ask it now. Are you gonna make a video about Variations on a Cloud? I know it isnt a part of original album but i still want to understand it more.

god damn the top chat replay is just sad :( these videos are WAAYY too underrated man. oh, and i'll be the 37 COMMENT. too underrated man...

I think what she means by "you draw them near" and "its perfectly clear" is foreshadowing that he's going to kill her but they don't realize/know that yet since during those two lyrics the word black was heard in the bg. Just my opinion tho

Had an idiotic little theory that Simon might be the guy Banana Man reffers too, when saying he's "Too up tight" although i absaloutley do not like what Banana Man conveys for Joe Hawley, I can't deny Hawaii Part: II is connected to him in some way being the character appears in Hawaii the album itself. So back onto what i was saying, what I think Banana Man implies is what lead to Simon flying to Hawaii in the first place. "Fly away from city on the run" and "Tommorow morning on the plane" reffering to Simon's vacation going away from "busy town" to Hawaii, Bannana man serves as this explanation for why Simon went on vacation with his lover, in the song Simon is struggling with putting up with his job, and is stressed about all of the things he has to carry at once. Banana Man offers him a banana, this banana being something that motivates simon to fly away, and start to begin "Shouting spirit names" and "Let his spirit free" in Hawaii, but secretly Bannana Man has decived him in some way forcing him to eat the banana over and over, (If you go off the theory of banana man being related to drugs, it makes "Coke Snowflake" and "Introduction To The Snow" WAAAAAY more literal, reffering to cocain) "making a mock of his plan". This leads into the events of Hawaii and possibly his fumble, and decline in songs like the mind electric. Whatever Bannana man did made Simon call upon spirits, and "shake the thunder from the spirit cloud" possibly resembling god's wrath as a religious connection. Notice how Banana Man is the one chanting the colors to make the stair way to earth to heaven, knowing Joe's need to connect drugs and a plethora of other things to religion, i believe the theory is something worth mentioning that just popped up in my head. Basically Banana Man is the someone that Simon says, he followed. He's a manifestation of this zealous twisted Mix of Drugs and Religion that thrives Simon to be more disconnected with Stella (his lover). Banana Man might also represent "Apollo" because Simon states he was a victim of Apollo, meaning not literally he is a victim of the God, but he was a victim of the belief in a higher realm above earth that made him delusional. and later on in "Murders" "Apollo" makes Simon kill Stella due to the belief she's the one preventing him to going to Heaven (Space Station Level 7).

Hey these are good videos and I hope they get more views the longer they stay up. This is not an easy topic, and you present it in a pretty approachable way. I appreciate it.

Cant wait for more!!

ULA'ULA' 'ALANI MELEMELE OMA'OMA'O POLŪ PONI 'ELE'ELE

11:55 there’s a whale on the moon.

I think the line "You draw them near" which is immediately followed by the chanting of "black" is actively alluding to the murder. Drawing the bridge to heaven closer to her. Thoughts?

Connected rainbows are the 7 celestial spheres that surround the garden of eden.

YIPIEEEEE :)

SIMON AND BETTY ??? WHY IS PETRIGROF WHEREVER I GO

why not call ‘betty’ ‘stella’ instead?

PLEASE RECAP DREAM SWEET IN SEA MAJOR

Cant believe banana man is here

the fact that you use an ai to separate the vocals from the instrumentals really shows in this video. maybe consider just playing the song parts normally so you can actually hear them?

Wow! I would've thought this just from the name black rainbows. I sure do wonder what murders is about.

It's not a whale on the album cover fam, it's an angler fish and the moon is it's Lamp. Since the moon is used in other places in the album as what seems to be metaphor for the afterlife, I think the implication is that the afterlife is a trap

I have a weird theory about black rainbows what if the rainbow is a symbol for them being together and them being black basically means their probably gonna die

Also the Stella Octangula has a ton of meanings in new age woo Vaguely something about the soul vessel for travel and also infinite power But I’m not well studied on these things Mainly this is just precedent for the religious meanings of the Murkabah being used by a non Jew

Why does Luxy always look high?

its all fun and games until we have to analyze all the demos

Eh I think the album tells a more profound story than a romance better two individuals

New and improved interpretation of Hawaii part ii + ruler of everything and variations on the clouds. Before we start this is the backstory on how I found these, found the ruler of everything first then mind electric second but in a closet time period to it. I saw an explanation by the ruler of everything which explained the basic frame of the entire story like 2 years from the current writing of this explanation. This is what the songwriter got its inspiration from with the story and using some of his unused unfinished songs and incorporated them into the album. If you think of the ruler of everything as a demo, inspiration, and enactment of the man’s feelings throughout all of it (explanation of ruler of everything will be at the end). I found how the song and the albums themes and mood were overall similar then I dug deeper for the explanation for Hawaii which I think are false, which led me even deeper to my explanation here so please read and if you have any discrepancies please tell. I believe that the Hawaii part ii is a album detailing the story of a man who was cursed with immortality which is a curse bestowed upon him with the added factor of the passing time degrading his mind and the alter ego of himself infecting his mind and causing the death of his lover. The following paragraphs will detail how this interpretation is a suitable story for the album. The first song “Introduction to the snow” shows him reminiscing on his past life as he floats on the precipice of all eternity when everything fades away as he gazes upon the stars and his mind detailing how beautiful and bitter it is. The second song “Isle Unto Thyself” starts us off with an ethereal sounding chant that might have been the goddess he and his lover worshiped or himself reminiscing on the past. Then it cuts to the man detailing how he met the love of his life and like the quote “why would it matter” doubting why and how it all started or maybe him being hesitant of love and how it may hurt him. The song I believe details his love and journey with her and him questioning if the memory was real then the song lyrics details on how when he was on the brink off death “Bled on the ground” he met the god and he was given the immortality he wanted and his alter ego too unbeknownst to them it would be a curse. Next it describes how the universe passed through and how he describes it and how it all died and him questioning his humanity as he ponders life. The song “Black Rainbows” is sung by the woman and is set in what I believe is Hawaii where the 2 lovers met and how they came upon Stella Octangula which basically defines a god(search it up and the theory of its meaning) the song follows how they saw the light that it shown and the possibilities and how beautiful their love and “it” was. (Btw the songs if you listen in order mix like a musical flowing together perfectly ) The next song white ball details a tango both physically and metaphorically kinda where they danced and detail about the future of the stars and eternity and their love together but later on it’s only him who lives forever. This song “Murders'' is a song shows the ego shows how it depicted of the love and how it pessimistically saw it and how he was in the middle and how all it wanted was the fountain of infinite mirrors which basically means immortality and how the ego took control and killed the love of his life and how at the end he gains control and spirals down into his depths of tragedy. The next song is the Japanese song which is translated to space station level 7 which basically details how humans evolved into going into space what it looks like but level 7 is a gate a final gate to heaven which the song constantly chants which leads me to believe that the man lives and is looking for heaven where his lover is and constantly looking for death. The song “Mind Electric” depicts how he was caught for killing his lover and how he is in court pleading to the court of his alter ego which they sentence him to death and how he depicts his degrading mind. And with his sentence he is sentenced to electric chair and how he depicts the electric corses through his brain and how his alter ego is becoming more present in his mind commenting on how the surfs work the ground and he plays with his mind and how it or him prays for it to end the torture and suffering. Next song is Labyrinth which describes how his mind is spinning and how he’s trying to get out and how now he feels like his past lover is following and has already gone to level 7 aka heaven. The rapper is the man and his mind as he acknowledges how he is running from the people trying to kill him and how he is in fear of his alter ego/god may cause the death of more and how he is trapped in this cycle. The song “Time Machine” is showing how he is now in the future waiting for the release of life and how he regrets what the ego has done, possibly conquered the ego or fused together because the other thoughts did not appear in the song. It follows his desire to go back with a Time Machine which he is awaiting to appear so he can go back and prevent all of it. The song “Stranded Lullaby” is detailing on him being stranded out in space and time and I believe he finally conquered his ego but became numb to the idea of basically everything with the only remaining shard of him being his lover and he is “lost at sea” or he has finally came to terms with his alter ego and he questions why it did what it did and why it was so lonely. The final song is “Dream Sweet in Sea Major” the final song based on my interpretation is where he finally conquered the ego and becomes and the god finally brings him the the promised land when he floated through space and finally reached level 7 where he finally is reunited with his lover as he savor the moment and the moment forever where the verses describe them going back into Hawaii and where they relive their love and what is to come as they love within heaven which he reached and the final verse he says good bye to Hawaii which is a representation of the ego torture and what he felt to finally get their as he grows and anew and will spend forever in eternity with his love. This is what I believe the album means in most sense. I believe the conclusion I detailed is what actually finally happened in that marvelous story which was detailed in the album Hawaii part ii. Now unto ruler of everything, before explaining remember that ruler of everything was way before and the ground for Hawaii part ii. The song starts out with “Juno was mad he knew he’d been had so he shot at the sun with a gun…” (please read lyrics to understand what i'm saying) implying that Juno/Man was mad because he got tricked into living forever causing for him to lose his loved ones, have the devil/ruler of time/ ruler of everything in the end being in his consciousness(like the alter ego) with its commentary and low tone. The song mentions the sun and how life expanded out of it and around it into the galaxy and the sun literally a god was there with Juno and how the sun knew of the deal he made and could have stopped him. “Every end of a time is another begun” is how Juno saw the passing of time, “you understand mechanical hands are the ruler of everything” mechanical hands being the hands on a clock and how time rules everything, and “do you like how I dance ect ect of the verse” basically states how Juno saw how man was obsessive over how they look talked walked and the view of other for their approvment and how they don’t care that they may “die soon” or disintegrate into chalk. The rest is fodder basically meaning he just bumbled around without meaning and how the time deity criticizes but emphasizes with him. Variations on a cloud first thing straight is not connected to Hawaii part ii or ruler of everything. Blatant reference to their song and overall theme but not connected. Also this supports why I think the ruler of everything is to be taken into consideration when talking about Hawaii part ii. Song starts out with 2 singers both the same person optimistic high tuned awaiting and departing for the future and seeing the beauty of it and the one who doesn’t want to leave the world and what they made and how it’s disappearing in a basic sense. The context is how basically 9/11 yada yada but in 9/11 people were getting burned to death and were stuck onto so people saw as these people were jumping off holding hands to their death which is what the singer is detailing their thoughts and life as it flashes before their eyes “a little bit of magic to end the world”. You can relate the lyrics to this no need to elaborate it shows how he tells of his mother and friends and how they were to him, what he built up how it’s crashing down, and how he/optimistic one accepts it how the memories keep on coming back and coming back as he falls to his death but happy and accept for what is to be for the life he lived and what may lay ahead. Very good song too. I believe this song was also a passion project to the viewers who understand it like a wrap up and gift for a final departure. And so too with these songs for it wraps up the explanation of this song and the rest of all of this.
