This is highly interesting use of symbol. I was wondering who’s the 3rd reflection in the shiny apple above? Also now that I know there’s actually a real chemical compound adrenochrome (rather than the made-up stories about what it is), and that it’s bright purple, that’s interesting from the perspective of the red/blue. If you notice, he has a few actual purple things in with the red/blue pairs, such as: the rose, the Venn diagram intersection (which also has the… mouth) and I think there’s purple in the plastic(?) heart model he holds also.
To me, coming from what I could call either a perspective of Nietzsche’s or ‘the place where the Dao & zen intersect’, the lyrics speak heavily to the fact that the ‘dualities’ of order & chaos, nirvana & samsara, the way & somehow not the way, or life & death, are false dualities. In the sense that: everything is actually the Way (or we could say will-to-power with Nietzsche, he considers the will deterministic in the sense it’s inseparable from the universe), life & death are inseparable, nirvana is located in the exact same world as samsara. So because I was less familiar with these other meanings you could see, I focused on the above, and I think it’s still there. Eris is a goddess like the others, presumably bound by Fate just the same.
