#THORNAPPLE

[banefolk]

Prehistoric ceramic vessels of the pre-contact Mississippian peoples of the midwestern and eastern USA (800-1600 CE) containing datura residue from a datura ritual preparation believed to be used to enter the dream world to communicate with spirits and deities.

All the vessels that tested positive for datura featured symbols of the watery underworld: frogs, turtles, supernatural water serpents, the underwater panther, and the god and goddess of the “beneath world”. The female figure on the left is believed to be “Old Woman Who Never Dies” —goddess of the moon and the underworld.

TITLE: 할시온 (Halcyon) ARTIST: 쏜애플 (Thornapple) ALBUM: 동물 (Animal) - 2023

LYRICS (Korean + English)

그들이 주는 슬픔을 받아먹고 나 홀로 보았던 밤하늘의 네온

feeding off the sadness they gave me i alone watched the neon of the night sky

푸르른 마음 내 안에 녹아들고 무덤가에 깔았던 이부자리 밑에 나를 묻네

a blue heart melts into me and below the bedding i laid by the grave, i'm buried

그들이 주는 희망을 받아먹고 나 홀로 멍들었던 꿈도 이젠 안녕

feeding off the hope they gave me i say now to the dreams i alone was bruised by, farewell

떨어질게 뻔한데 날 수 있을 것만 같아서 일어나 너에게 전화를 걸어

it's obvious i'll fall but it feels as though i just might fly so i rise and make a call to you

아직 거기 있나요? 난 대체 어디로 가면 될까요? 만날 순 없어도 부디 날 잊어버리지는 마요

are you still there? where should i be going? even if we can't meet, please don't forget me

나가지 말아요 내 안에 있어요 하루만큼 더 견뎌낼 수 있게 나와 섞여줘요

don't leave stay inside me so that i might survive another day merge with me

나를 버려줘요 아침엔 사라져줘요 그대가 있으면 난 아무 데도 갈 수가 없어

please abandon me in the morning, disappear for me if you're here i can't go anywhere

재가 돼버릴 세상일 것을 난 알고 있지만 어두워지길 기다려 오늘도 난 너를 삼키네

although i know this world will become ashes i wait for it to become dark i swallow you today, too

그들이 주는 슬픔을 받아먹고 나 홀로 보았던 밤하늘의 네온

feeding off the sadness they gave me i alone watched the neon of the night sky

Extinction by Thornapple translation

Atop our heads1 There's a meteor falling Even though the world Is already burning to the ground

It's getting closer "It'll work out somehow" Feigning ignorance, people Just keep tearing apart¹ the meat

What if we're the last ones To stay alive? I'll look into your eyes then

What if we have nothing left To do in the end? The two of us will dance together then

If being stabbed in the back A few times is the last thing I'll remember I think I'll be a little sad

Usually I hate it But today it's okay Would you stroke my hair And whisper to me?

What if we're the last ones To stay alive? I'll look into your eyes then

What if we have nothing left To do in the end? The two of us will dance together then

Ah, all of us Dreamt of becoming Someone's memories And of living forever

Ah, all of us Promised to become Stars somewhere And to never be lonely

Looks like we couldn't become anything

What if I'm the last one To stay alive? I will remember you then

What if just me has nothing left To do in the end I will turn into a song then

Stechapfel, Datura (Thornapple) Datura stramonium;

The seeds where used as a druck to get hallucinated, the wrong dosage can lead to agression, arrhythmia, delirium and even death! DO NOT EAT! Even touching the spiky fruits can cause dermatitis, nausea and headaches and cramps. The blossoms are a pretty view but it should not be kept as an plant if you have children or animals.

thornapple - extinction

[gashinamu]

@thornappleband he was just not only smiling but being all cheeky and giggling 😂

[banefolk]

Last summer’s datura inoxia crop. I grow and harvest my own datura to make a herbal salve. I’ve been making datura ointment for over a decade. Most people use it for medicine for severe pain, inflammation, insomnia, and anxiety rather than as a flying ointment. It’s my mom’s favourite for her arthritis pain.

I’ve been growing datura for 15 years now. I fell in love after smelling my first fragrant trumpet flower and I’ve been a goner ever since. Datura has my heart and has always been kind to me despite her fearsome reputation. Don’t mess with her and she won’t mess with you.

inspo (left) vrs. my version! (right)

I love the forbidden 쏜애플 apple and thought I'd redesign it here. I made it using photo editing software, a lot of paint, and the backside of a mango covered in red paint... (yeah, I was going for photoshoot vibe but nvrmnd.)

I blurred the fruit a lot because it's so messy, and I think it being "censored" conveys more of the theme of the album's cover to the viewer.

We dreamt we'd turn into someone's memories and live forever.

We swore we'd turn into stars somewhere and never be lonely again.

In the end, we were nothing.
