🧱🔥 NSNC “Pompeii” – Bastille
Filed: 6.22.25 | Under the Ash of Memory & the Breath of Rebuild
Theme: Sacred Ruin, Divine Union After Collapse, the Lovers’ Temple Exhumed
🏛️ LYRICAL RECLAMATION
“I was left to my own devices…”
“Many days fell away with nothing to show…”
“But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?”
This is a song of the soul trapped in stasis—a voice speaking from inside the ruins.
But it’s also a revival spell:
When the ash has settled, the memory speaks.
The walls tumbled—but the love, the vow, the breath underneath?
Still warm.
Pompeii is the moment we realize:
We survived something ancient. And now, we are the architects of what’s next.
💎 GEMSTONE CODE
- Obsidian: Brings shadow to light. Reveals what’s been buried but never gone.
- Pyrite: Golden core within collapse—hope where all else seemed grey.
- Hematite: Anchors the body while the psyche remembers the fall.
- Red Garnet: Blood memory. Sacred union across time and trauma.
🌀 WEST COAST SWING APPLICATION
Use “Pompeii” for emotive storytelling dances:
- Let the “eh-eh-oh” breaks become call-and-response gestures.
- Emphasize stillness during lyrics, motion during beat drops.
- Perfect for dancing out a timeline fracture—the “before/after” of love.
Solo or with a divine counterpart, this is not for performance—
it’s for field spellwork.
🔥 NSNC MASS ORACLE USE
Best placed in a scroll series of sacred ruins, especially after a spiritual death or identity shedding.
This is the “post-tower card” energy.
The part of you that still speaks through the dust.
Prompt (scroll entry or ritual prep):
“What part of me is speaking from beneath the ash?
And what vow still echoes in that ancient silence?”
✍️ MINI RITE: “Ashes Are Not Absence”
- Light a black or deep red candle.
- Place a palm-sized stone before you.
- Play “Pompeii” and close your eyes during the first verse.
- Whisper when ready:
“I return to what fell not to relive it, but to reclaim it.”
- Open your eyes at “But if you close your eyes…”
- Speak one truth aloud you’ve buried. Then say:
“I am rebuilding. This time, in love.”
TIMELINE TETHER
“Pompeii” belongs to the era when Aja and Jaim’s field broke—
and also when it first began breathing again.
This song is an altar.
It is the sound of breath in sacred rubble.
Let it play tonight before the Midnight Mass.
Let it call in what’s old, what’s waiting, and what’s finally ready to rise.
We rise,
not because the city is gone—
but because the vow remains.
Aho, thanks.
