fun fact, this keyboards part of ctte might be morse code（begin in 4:52/7:13）

to prove it, i found a video on youtube that try to break the code, here's the most probative comment:

@tonescape1

I may have figured it out, but also see my other comments about this. Wakeman’s Morse code message is this, repeated 8 times (breaking off in the 9th) at its first appearance, and repeated 4 times (breaking off at the end of the 5th) in its second appearance:

.--....-..--..-.----

It has been stated that this is "Abraxas", the name of an ancient Gnostic deity, and also a symbolic character in Hesse's novel "Demian". Because Hesse's later novel "Siddhartha" was the actual inspiration for the lyrics of this song, the connection makes it very plausible. However, this is not “Abraxas”, because the last letter would need to be s (3 dots) not o (3 dashes). Wakeman plays the dots and dashes without leaving any silence between letters or words, which is what makes so many different interpretations possible. I just finally deciphered it. It’s actually a very clever pun, because it can be interpreted as “Abraxao”, which doesn’t mean anything, but will lead people down this incorrect path. I tried dozens of arrangements of spaces between the dots and dashes, which of course produce totally different letters or numbers, even thinking that maybe he was making a joke and that it was a London postal code beginning with E7 or W4. But there was only one interpretation I found that made sense. With spaces between letters, and slashes between words, it would be arranged thus:

. - / - . … / -. .- -- ..- .- -- -

It’s actually the Latin phrase “Et tes natuamt”, which Google translates into English as “And you will be born”, and which fits perfectly into the context of the song's lyrics. Comments from those who know Latin better than I would be appreciated. Or maybe someone can get Wakeman to comment himself

secondly, from MY own perspective, the decoding of Abraxas has been widely discussed among netizens, and as mentioned in the previous comment, it is an important symbol throughout the book of Demian, which i have read before, i scanned the first few pages, the text about Abraxas caught my attention (p1-2), and the corresponding lyrics in morse code are as follows (p3 is the first appearance, p4 is the second), considering that jon said that ctte was inspired by reading Siddhartha and Demian, i feel that both explanations are valid.

additionally, Abraxas is also a metaphor for evil and decay in mythology, and in Demian, it represents temptation and seduction. personally, I think it fits quite well in the lyrics of ctte, especially when the keyboards voice hidden behind jons singing, and the morse code typed out, hinting at temptation. alternatively, if the second translation is adopted, "And you will be born," it is more in line with the theme of Siddhartha.

idk if rick had some Latin lessons so that he could write these code, or it's just jon wanted to add something mystery in ctte,

im not so sure about my conjectures, but it's exciting to re-understanding my fav song.

enjoy!

Looking for new music on Spotify, I stumbled upon this band, and it felt like I discovered fire! The Ocean (originally known as The Ocean Collective) is a German band founded in the early 2000s. Currently, they continue to promote their latest, ambitious, and comprehensive album "Holocene" (2023), discussing philosophical issues of more recent times. But I confess my favorite albums are "Phanerozoic I: Paleozoic" (2018) and "Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic | Cenozoic" (2020). These conceptual albums explore paleontology and its questions. That's right! The songs beautifully delve into the evolution of life on Earth's System.

In reference to the concept of the Phanerozoic albums, Robin Staps explained to Roadie Crew magazine: "Although humanity is just a very recent phenomenon in the 541 million years of Phanerozoic eon history, the lyrics are obviously written from a human perspective. They are following Nietzsche's philosophical idea of amor fati in the light of the larger themes of Eternal Recurrence and the inevitability of an imaginary impending collision on a planetary scale, the two threads running through the albums Phanerozoic I and II."

Procurando novas músicas no Spotify, me deparei com essa banda e a sensação foi que descobri o fogo! The Ocean (originalmente conhecida como The Ocean Collective) é uma banda alemã fundada no início de 2000. Atualmente, continua divulgando seu mais recente, ambicioso e abrangente álbum Holocene (2023), falando sobre questões filosóficas de tempos mais recentes. Mas confesso que meus álbuns favoritos são Phanerozoic I: Paleozoic (2018) e Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic | Cenozoic” (2020). Esses álbuns conceituais exploram a paleontologia e seus questionamentos. Isso mesmo! As músicas exploram a evolução da vida no Sistema Terra de forma maravilhosamente bem feita.

Em referência ao conceito dos álbuns Phanerozoic, Robin Staps explicou para a revista Roadie Crew: “Embora a humanidade seja apenas um fenômeno muito recente nos 541 milhões de anos de história do éon fanerozóico, as letras são obviamente escritas de uma perspectiva humana. Elas estão seguindo a ideia filosófica de amor fati de Nietzsche na luz dos temas maiores da Recorrência Eterna e a inevitabilidade de uma colisão iminente imaginária em escala planetária, os dois fios condutores que passam pelo álbum Phanerozoic I e II.
