PELICAN TAKE A JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH IN “FINAL BREATH”

I’ve never really been a Pelican fan – but I guess I should be. I saw this clip, for the song “Final Breath,” on Metal Underground, and… wow. Consider my mind blown.

I want to compare it to Journey to the Center of the Earth (We do seem to be traveling through the center of the planet, no?), Fantastic Voyage (some of it kinda looks like we’re inside a human body), or a slowed-down version of the opening credits of David Fincher’s Fight Club (see previous parenthesis), or maybe even the Star Child sequence from 2001… but I don’t think that there’s any denying that the whole thing is vaginal. Is there an equation being made between birth and death? Am I just reading too much into this?

Whatever. It’s pretty cool regardless of what it means or doesn’t mean. And the fact that the song is gorgeous doesn’t hurt, either.
