nathondetroit Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Anyone else find it interesting that the Hypnofeed is pornography? In Silencia, people are just stumbling around and falling over from too much pornography. To say the least, it's a pretty unique way for the band to make a statement on modern culture and media… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafaelchampion Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 ^It's not only porn. For Mylo, it's like he is famous, or loved by everyone. I guess it's more like hypnofeed is some kind of TV, which purpose is alienate people. They watch what pleases them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tash Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Some characters prints (from the ComicCon Videos): Mylo and Fly (Mylo's girl. Probably a Sparker) Mylo Fly Major Minus Those links don't work. Here are the pictures you wanted to post: Mylo and Fly (Mylo's girl. Probably a Sparker) Mylo Fly Major Minus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely see that there are more elements to the hypnofeed than porn alone. Regardless, using that example inside the helmet during the opening pages is still… rather peculiar. From the start, Coldplay know this comic will be read by millions of people. They could put anything in these pages. And right away we have imagery of a victim of pornography. Obviously, there's going to be a lot of content in these 6 issues. I guess I'm just impressed that the band isn't afraid to address these controversial topics. Probably for the same reasons as choosing to write a song like Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paradise117 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 So is Hypnofeed bad??? Cause we watch it all the time on the Coldplay website and its usually good stuff, like art and music and all the stuff Silencers are against!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha my apologies for getting really philosophical about one picture:) Yes can be interpretted in different ways. Basically, the strongest lyrics are: When it started we were alright But night makes a fool of us in daylight There we were dying of frustration Saying, "Lord lead me not into temptation" But it's not easy when she turns you on I see the song as a struggle with the physical temptation of [premarital] sex. It's also kind of interesting that a non openly christian band is quoting the bible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one who tempts the man in the story is Death itself.

aschall Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Let's put a marker in what we've discovered. •The story has place in SILCENCIA •The race of Irdoks, which Majos Minus belongs, rules this world with a false policy of peace. •They command the Silencers, who are responsible for the maintenance of the 'peace' in the world. •To help them, they have the Hypnofeed, it's like a hypnotic kind of media, a brain wash, to keep the civilians away from making something they must not. •The Irdoks says the color and sound that appear once in a while in the city are made by The Eaters. A lie. It's only to keep the civilians away from the art, that is actually made for those 'rebels' we can see in the first pages. •There is an "A Hopeful Transmission" symbol in every Hypnofeed helmet. •Mylo is a Silencer. •REX(Mylo's best friend) is the pink one. Everyone got those conclusions? Oh and thanks for the scans. ^ for anyone who's confused. (thanks to rafaelchampion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did a member of Coldplay actually say that ? I agree with this interpretation, I kinda see the song that way too, but it may be about something completely different, hey, it could be about a woman. /offtopic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aschall Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Seeing that other lyrics in the song are about death, I'd say the "temptation" is suicide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just sayin that you can't say that someone is wrong for interpreting a song in one certain way (unless the songwriter specifically explained the song already).

More info: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=78605 He is a prisoner and he has to try harder everyday to don't fall in the temptation of suiciding. That was definitely an awesome thread to read! Before this comic, interpreting MX was very similar to interpreting Viva La Vida. Both had a sense of narrative, and some structure that strung the songs together. Since it's release, Coldplayers have written about a thousand different stories explaining Mylo Xyloto–which each have their own validity. Yet not one of them is even close to the universe being revealed in these comics. With Coldplay's lyrics, they create songs that millions of people can relate to. Whether it's love, pain, struggle, or temptation, their music always reaches farther than one character or plot it could be associated with. What really excites me, is their ability to tap into these human emotions using risky and unconventional methods. In the case of Yes, It simply blows me away that they can sneak the lyrics "Lord lead me not into temptation" onto the number one selling album of 2008. It's going to be incredible to read these comics. By the time the content of U.F.O. comes up, the religious connotations will surely go through the roof. Or maybe they won't. Either way, It's going to be a fun ride:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronayne94 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 The silencers think theyre protecting people, but it's implied that major minus, another species and the leader of the silencers, is lying to the people of Silencium to keep them oppressed.
