Hello dear Vacuumists! Some days before I listened to radio & found a song of Nick Cave & Kylie Minogue “Where the wild roses grow”. Suddenly I thought about the phrase from the song “The beauty must die”. “Death” and “beauty” – something related to Vacuum…. So what do you think about this two phrases: “We’re dead – it’s beautiful” and “The beauty must die”? Are their meaning similar or opposite? Both of them are quite dark but which one is more pessimistic?

Each time me is pleased with depth of questions which set admirers of Vacuum. Well, my opinion. I think, that one phrase this consequence another. First to whom that in a head comes an idea“The beauty must die”. And it decides to execute this verdict. And then already-“We’re dead – it’s beautiful”. And such fatal philosopher now enjoys that has turned out.

Take a listen to HIM Their music is dark enough and mostly about love, beauty and death. You will find there a lot of interesting moments related to the subj.
P.S. I don't think that the beauty must die.

Well, the sentence "beauty must die" makes me think to the idea of beauty as an ephemeral thing... as flowers that wither. It's quite a Japanese concept
The other phrase - "We're dead, it's beautiful" makes me think of completely different things... firstly that is we're dead, we are free of the chains that tie us in this world, and so, if we're dead, it would be like if we're dreaming... yes, something like the situation of a dream.

To my mind these phrases are incomparable. I know this song of Nick Cave and like it a lot, but these phrases have quite different sense. IMHO a phrase of Vacuum is optimistic as well, instead of Nick Cave's phrase witch is as always painted in dark tone.

Welll, Nick Cave is talent person and good singer. On his album "Murder Ballads" is too many good things.
These phrases of course, are completely various, though are told by similar words ... " And I kiss her goodbye said:All the beauty must die " this phrase is very strong and I agree with it. But “ We're dead - it's beautiful ”... I can tell nothing about this phrase, I can't understand it

Well, for me the phrase #the beauty must die" means one clear thing. Everything beautiful is not eternal. Everything beautiful finally dies. Everything we love in this life dies. And we should remember it and love it every moment of our lifes. To enjoy every moment of our lifes. Remember about death. Live with this understanding and pain. But enjoy the life itself and with everything you love. Untill it's not too late...

Satallite, I do not agree about HIM. Yes, "we're dead, it's beautiful" is a typical line for HIM. That was my top of mind reaction to this title. But still it has very different content. Sweet lyrics by HIM about love and death do not have that depth. With all my respect to Ville Valo and his music.

Termy, it is equal to "We're switched of and dismantled - it's beautiful" Better now?

Nobody wants. But it's a life. Entropy does not spare anyone. Neither humans nor robots. Even gods are victims of it. Gods can not die, can not be dismantled. But gods can be forsaken.
BTW, it was exactly the fear of death, that has turned people to religion. Made them to create it. As a way to find a hope and faith. So, Terminator, if you do not want to be dismantled, it can become your obsession , you can have a risk of getting too religious...

So once again I am asking you not to reply and not to comment my messages. As I do not comment any foolish thing I see in your ones. Thank you in advance. My best regards, The God

Well, in Wagner's opinion gods can die and they do in the end of Gotterdammerung.
The God, I like very much your traslation of "we're dead, it's beautiful" as "We're switched of and dismantled - it's beautiful"
Well, I am not sure that Wagner was 100% right. It is rather allegorical. Gods are immortal, in most of religions when they are killed they reborn in other hypostasis or smth like that. Can you give me any example of any god who was really killed once and forever and disappeared completely? Even from people memory? But to be forsaken means to be dead for any god. E.g. Prometheus was sentenced and has fallen into Oblivion for his betrayal. He was alive as he was eternal, but people have forgotten him...
Regarding "We're switched of and dismantled" - it is not a translation. It is rather translation to "machine code". As I perceive this refrain as allegorical. For me it is not about death but about end of some relations between people and begining of freedom and smth new. But how can I explain it to the machine?... Even to such highest machine as our friend The Terminator. It's about human feelings. Very irrational human feelings.

I really liked how phrase “we’re dead – it’s beautiful” fit into the “Something evil I love (dead and beautiful)” by The God. I didn’t like this phrase in “Dead”, it didn’t make sense to me and didn’t seem to fit in. For me, this phrase signifies a new beginning. People transcended into the next plane and look back and forward at the same time. They see that everything is as it should be, and it’s beautiful. For me, this phrase carries light and new promise (or promise of new). Probably, this is not how Vacuum intended it, because I really don’t understand it and don’t like it in “Dead”.
About “all beauty must die”, it took some time for me to remember this song. I like it, but I never thought too much about it. I guess I just see a very disturbed psychologically, maybe even ill, person saying that. It may make sense in interpretation “all that has a beginning, has an end”, but I, personally, only see pain or umbrage that longs for some revenge . Overall, I see it as something dark and evil.
Their music is dark enough and mostly about love, beauty and death. You will find there a lot of interesting moments related to the subj.
, you can have a risk of getting too religious...
