So if each song is inspired by the women and Goddess of Greek mythology, here is what I think each one is : 1. everything matters - Eos she was a Titaness and the goddess of the dawn, who rose each morning from her home at the edge of the Oceanus . 2. Giving into the love - Aphrodites goddess of love and sexuality. 3. Cure for me - IAOS the goddess of cures , and remedies. 4. You keep me crawling - Eleos goddess of forgiveness, clemency, mercy, and pity. She granted succor (succor -assistance and support in hard times or distress ) to all those who asked for it. This one took me the longest to decide on. This song is about the relationship of people with religion and most people turn to religion in hard times. Even many who aren't religious will pray to God when in a dire situation. Which makes me think of how people prayed to Eleos in hard times. Also the line "if you keep forgiving , if I keep forgiving Maybe I'll believe that you never meant for life to hurt for me" Why do I keep begging like the animal?" could be referencing how people stripped naked and cut off their hair at the alter of Eleos. 5. I exist for love - I have two possibilities . Amphitrite the goddess of the sea . She was the wife of Poseidon, God of the sea. He fell in love watching her dance and sing. It would make sense why Aurora is dancing and singing in a clam shell . The story goes she said no to the proposal at first but sent a dolphin god to convince her and she was convinced and married Poseidon. This could explain the lines "then I learned the truth how everything good in life leads back to you . And when I fall into your arms I exist for love. " Theory two it's about Aphrodite's again . 6. Heathens - Persephone goddess of the underworld .Of course referring to the Goddess of the underworld as a Heathen makes sense. She became Goddess of the underworld when she was stolen from Demeter. Her temporary return to the surface represents her functions as the embodiment of spring and the personification of vegetation and grain. Lyrics that allude to this story specifically are “ She gave her love, her gift of life So we could live with her” giving up her life to stay with Hades, and her love and gift of life is the plants that grow in spring when she returns to earth. She appears always together with Hades and the Underworld, sharing with Hades control over the dead, which is alluded to in the lyrics,.” We fell from sky with grace And landed in her soft and warm embrace” “ The unforgiving promise made to us Unworthy of your light, your god, your touch We're guided by the lust” Everything you touch Will be Hers Our mother with no heart Will give Love Her love is yours But only if you give your heart to her” alluding to dying and going to hell or the underworld by behaving like a heathen. 7. Innocence - Astraea, She was the virgin goddess of justice, innocence, purity and precision Her name meant "star-maiden" and she was on the earth with humans during the Golden Age of Man. She left during the Iron age because she thought it brought wickedness and sorrow. Astraea abandoned the earth and she transformed into the constellation Virgo. When she returns it is said she would bring about a new Golden age. “ The innocent life, the innocent touch is never enough For the ones who love, the ones who love. The ones who love” alludes to Astraea leaving because of the wickedness of the earth, the innocence wasn’t enough for humans. “Danger in the boy that would lose control. When everyone thought he had a heart of gold” could be a reference to the Golden Age Astraea was Goddess of. 8. Exhale Inhale - Gaia the first Greek Goddess mother earth . It was believed Giai created herself out of primordial chaos. From her fertile womb all life sprang, and unto Mother Earth all living things must return after their allotted span of life is over. She personifies the entire ecosystem of Planet Earth. She works to maintain balance , and harmony. 9, Temporary High. Hera Goddess of marriage and birth. She is the wife and sister of Zeus. She was also the Goddess of the Heavens and the sky before marrying Zeus. She was known to be jealous and vengeful towards the many lovers and offspring of her husband Zeus. She was also known to turn her anger towards mortals who made her mad as well. 10. A dangerous thing- Deianira. Deianira’s name means “destroyer of her husband” or “man-destroyer”. A princess of the Greek city of Calydon, Deianira was one of the three wives of the Greek demigod Heracles. She is most infamous for accidentally killing Heracles. The myth goes that a very vicious centaur named Nessus tried to kidnap Deianira; however, she was rescued by her husband Heracles. Heracles shot a poisoned arrow into Nessus, bringing down the wild centaur. Just before Nessus died he whispered into Deianira’s ears, telling her to quickly take a sample of his blood. Nessus then ordered Deianira to form a love potion by mixing his blood with olive oil. The potion was intended to cure Heracles’ unfaithful habits. She was constantly in fear he would leave her for his new love Iole. She smeared the potion on his lion skin shirt. She didn't know the potion contained the toxic blood of Nessus. Heracles put on his shirt then he started to burn in sheer agony; then threw himself into a funeral pyre and died. She then killed herself. Hercules is a dangerous thing because he a demi God of unimaginable strength. In her jealousy Deianira becomes a dangerous thing and “There's no love in the end No love in the end” 11. Artemis - Artemis goddess of the hunt, the wilderness, wild animals 12. Blood in the wine - Athena the Goddess of warfare, wisdom, and handicraft, She was the sister of Ares God of war Athena, who wore armor represented the martial functions include military strategy and generalship Ares embodied the physical valor necessary for success in war, along with sheer brutality and bloodlust, in contrast to his sister. “A thirst for pleasure and war A hunger we keep inside. “You can drink, you can feast There's beauty in your beast” 13. This could be a dream - Brizo – Greek Goddess of the Sea and Dreams. She was known as the protector of mariners, sailors, and fishermen. She was worshiped primarily by the women of Delos, who set out food offerings in small boats. Brizo was also known as a prophet specializing in the interpretation of dreams. “And if you come by, could you take me home?” could be referencing Brizo leading the sailors home. “This could be a dream” could be a reference to her interpreting dreams. 14. A little place called the moon- Selene , the moon Titan . She was the personification of the moon .
