my s2 rowan theory
okay i had an epiphany the other night about this. i've been analyzing venetian blind man (and the songs blue has on his offical rowan playlist, but that analysis isn't complete yet) recently, and there's one lyric i could never figure out.
"Lord knows I've said awful things 'round this house They echo through the frame and six feet down"
now this!! this is interesting!! let's take a look see at the "six feet down" part. who do we know that has died? no not that one. rowan's former co-counselor. and to further seal this?
"...last year, in a different weather-related incident, a counselor from Cabin Magpie Moth was tragically… destroyed." -FILE 3. The Squall of Prophecy.
and who predicts those weather incidents? rowan. and how does he communicate his predictions? by saying them to others. and by god i'm sure those predictions count as "awful things". and i may be looking too far into this, but the venetian blind man lyrics say "i've SAID awful things." past tense. it isn't him currently saying these things that have a fatal effect, but rather he's said them and the fatality has already happened.
another tidbit that could be unrelated is this line
"Well, campers returning from last summer will remember what happened last time we ignored one of Rowan's forecasts." -FILE 2. The End of the Squall.
could rowan have predicted something so awful that it killed his own co-counselor?
You fall asleep to the sound of your heart
Trying to break free from your chest
And wake to your thoughts trying desperately
To escape your brain.
What does it say about you when your own
organs
Want to escape your body?
