White Cluster - Intellectual

The outcast most likely felt he’d be killed immediately, or that his own life would have ended after Melinda’s death. Instead he wakes up to a new day, which he wasn’t expecting.

The crowd is relieved that the man who killed many in the events of the previous track is put to death.

The narrator feels a touch. When he looks back, he sees Melinda standing behind him, ready for him to join her in death.

The “knocking message” stated in the prior verse continues here. The narrator says that it sealed his fate. The narrator also explains that he is very skinny or malnourished, possibly from being held in prison for so long, being banished from the town for 15 years, or both.

Following the torment of the protagonists life, the death of his eternal love and the subsequent lives he took, it is clear the protagonist wishes nothing else but to die.

While most people would be in crippling fear at being hanged and their inevitable death, the protagonist has had everything ripped from him, there is nothing left to live for. Even if he managed to run away from his execution, he’d only wish to return and finish what was started.

White Cluster may be set as tragic, however ultimately death is what is going to bring the most happiness to our fabled protagonist.
