Why "Project Red Guitar"?
Posted: Wed Sep 21, 2022 9:15 am
The Project Name comes from the song from David Sylvian "Red Guitar". The song's lyrics, in my interpretation, express the perspectives on existence, life, how to live life in spite of the anxiousness at times in what I can only assume is a lyrical celebration of self-determination, self-dominion, endurance, accepting failure and will that everyone is inherently born with. It's a very mysterious song and one of the few songs I can feel the poetry in song (I don't typically say that about most music, even the music I like to enjoy repeatedly). Listen/watch here
Lyrics:
I recognise no method of living that I know
I see only the basic materials I may use
If you ask me, I may tell you
It's been this way for years
I play my red guitar
It's the devil in the flesh
It's the iron in my soul
I understand you're facing problems inside you
A certain difficulty of being that I know too
You may ask me why do I fail
Just when I'm needed
I play my red guitar
It's the devil in the flesh
It's the iron in my soul
If you ask me, I may tell you
It's been this way for years
It may not be entirely applicable to the story of the game but it is an internal value of one of the characters of the game.
