This is the cover art for Ed Sheeran's album titled "X". The "X" represents the mark of the beast (A.K.A satan).

Actually, that's not correct.
In this case it's just a multiplication sign, as in math.
If you are not familiar with Ed Sheeran: each of his albums is called after a different math sigh (+÷x, etc), and his most recent tour is called Mathematics.

I understand that about him, but you have to take into consideration that this is the music industry we're talking about, and there are no coincidences when it comes to symbolism in the music industry.

That I agree with. However, it's a bit tiring to clutch our invisible pearls and scream "satan" every time we see something that might suggest it, but actually is just a simple thing without subtext.
In case with Ed Sheeran it's just a multiplication sign because there's actually a pattern.
In case of El0n Mu$k - renaming Twitter to X (and knowing his background) - that raises an eyebrow and it's a legit concern.

I agree that there is such a thing as finding symbolism to a fault, but I do think that the multiplication sign on his album cover could potentially mean something satanic. I understand your perspective though.

Ok! So there's this band from the 70s/80s called Talking Heads and this is probably their most famous album (REMAIN IN LIGHT) with the album cover being designed by Tibor Kalman (I'll have to investigate him further too), there is an upside down letter 'A' which apparently means 'The logical symbol ∀ - "for all". According to Wikipedia "According to the principle of acrophony, the letter A originated from the Proto-Sinatic alphabet as a symbol representing the head of an ox or cow (aleph), its orientation and original meaning having been lost over time. The turned A symbol restores the letter to a more easily recognizable logographic representation of an ox's head.[5]

What is 'For all'?
Don't you think the 'ox' A looks like a baphomet? Is it a reference to moloch? Am I overthinking things?
I think the inversion is very intentional though...
You know how the elites and satanists are obsessed with inversion and 'masks'...
Remain in Light? What 'Light' are they referring to? The angel of light- Lucifer? Illuminati light? Because they are definitely not in God's light.

I have a whole thread on them ready on a Word Doc for whenever admin decides to give me thread posting rights.
This is a band I am very fascinated by, especially their lead singer David Byrne...
I'm surprised nobody here has mentioned it before.
He made some creepy predictive programming in 1979. Someone pointed out some predictive programming of things like 9-11 in his movie from 1986. He has all these elite connnections. He went to that Met Gala thing recently. He is Scottish but in an even weirder cult than Freemasons (Or maybe it is a front for the freemasons. I have done my research and it's like his whole life is dedicated to weirdness...
I can't wait to do a whole thread about Talking Heads when I can.
They have some Interesting lyrics too which straddle the line between plain weird and potentially having some deep elite gnostic meaning...
I want to dig into it more and maybe someone smart can help me hahaha
Their 'Little Creatures' album cover is pretty weird too with some... slightly unsettling inscriptions.

Byrne wasn't the only weird one I guess although it was mainly him. When they were disbanded in 1991, the split was so sudden and acrimonious because he announced to press that they were splitting without telling other members and the bassist Tina Weymouth and drummer Chris Frantz and Keyboardist Jerry Harrison tried to continue but then David Byrne sued them so they rebooted the band as 'The Heads', collabed with a bunch of other singers and had a voodoo doll picture for the first single ( called 'Damage I’ve Done' ) in their album which is suspected to be an allusion to sacrificing the astranged lead singer...It wasn't a very successful album in spite of all the celebrity collaborations including Debbie Harrie and obviously they never sacrificed him and maybe they tried but he was way too powerful? Idk... Very very strange band though.

OK so remember how I mentioned that the inverted letter 'A' in the Talking Heads Remain in Light album are a mathematical symbol for 'For All' ?

I just listened to a James Lindsay podcast and the term

'For All'

is used extensively by the United Nations in their Sustainable Development Goals to speak of 'equitable redistribution' on a global scale which will enforce tyrannical levels of control to knock everyone down to the same level and reduce the population artificially in the process to further achieve this 'equity'. Of course the technocratic elites will be able to continue their lavish lives while everyone else lives a miserable life.
Do you think Tibor Kalman had that in mind when he designed the Talking Heads album to have the A inverted?

Here is the James Lindsay podcast:

Here is a link to Tibor Kalman's work on the Colors magazine. He sure likes naked or near naked bodies.

BTW I started a thread about symbolism in music from that era (CBGBs New wave etc.) here: https://vigilantcitizenforums.com/threads/new-wave-talking-heads-blondie-cbgbs-paul-mccartney-eno-devo-etc-rabbit-hole.10968/

I have also started a thread about LGBT targetting autistic people: https://vigilantcitizenforums.com/threads/lgbt-targeting-autistic-people.11021/

Please take a look if you are interested in exposing these topics! :)

Thank you for revisiting that album cover, after finding out about another possible meaning behind it. I think that the inverted "A" could mean "for all", but I think it's more likely that it symbolizes the head of Baphomet, because the album is called Remain in Light and Lucifer is known as the "light bearer."

Thank you for the sources that you mentioned! I will check those out.

This cover has a abstract, dream like concept to it. All seeing eye, black/white duality, Robin Zander(L) doing a Masonic hand sign.
Anyone have any idea what the train passing through the door, rather than being on the tracks symbolizes? Maybe a psychedelic Doors of Perception concept? Back door/sodomy reference? or this...https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=train the 3rd example.

I think the train being off the tracks could symbolize that they may go off the rails in the future, because of a contract that they made from the start of their career. It could honestly mean so many different things though.

Yeah, it's hard to pin point exactly what it means cause there could be multiple meanings. Many of these Masonic covers include hidden in plain sight sexual references..if you know what to look for and can read between the lines.

Just like Tom Petty's album cover..a giant phallic symbol.
