BOC: Imaginos, part 3 - Imaginos

[Johnny Firic]

3. IMAGINOS
-----------

We are left completely in the dark as to how this entire 16th century
episode ties in with the main Imaginos theme. It is possible that the two
previously discussed songs were felt to be necessary, to explain the
historical (story-internal, not actual history) background of the main
story. Other than that, nothing has been said to deny the statement that the
early England/Spain conflict was not in fact a 'retaliatory strike' of Les
Invisibles, a short-term scheme while they were working on a larger,
centuries-spanning plan.

(Cough) Imaginos. The first lines could be taken to say that he was either
born (and had so 'approached the sun', being incarnated), or he came to
Earth in a spaceship (I know, I know - everyone seems to insist on this
one!). Slightly more metaphorically, it can be taken to mean that he entered
the story, that his own story (or "saga") began at that time.

"Singing song nobody knew" is the first reference to Imaginos' songs. As can
be seen from their frequent mentioning throughout the cycle, the songs he
wrote were of utmost importance for Imaginos privately - because they were
the devices he used to put down his supernatural inferences (his
Imaginoses?!)

The last part of the song is probably Imaginos' own, seemingly chaotic,
vision of his future - it has been said that his foresight was limited (as
can be seen from "Blue Öyster Cult").

The next song, without a doubt, is "Del Rio's song".
