The Warning
Cartoon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have warned you once before
When your heart started to be cold
That you would better slow it down
'Cause your ambition cold destroy the whole world
I know it, you know it too
But you keep wanting more and moreÂ...
Now you're searching through some ways
I certainly don't approve
And you won't hesitate to use my words against myself
I know, you know it too
In Cartoon's song The Warning, we hear Peter Pan speaking to someone who has become ambitious to the point of being destructive. Peter Pan warns that he had cautioned them before when their heart had started to turn cold. The warning was that if they did not slow down, their ambition would destroy the entire world. Peter Pan admits that he has taught them almost everything he knows, yet the person continues to want more and more.
Now, the person is searching through ways that Peter Pan does not approve of, and they won't hesitate to use his words against him. It seems that the person is so blinded by their ambition that they are willing to sacrifice anything and anyone to achieve their goals. The lyrics are a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked ambition and the need to balance ambition with ethics and morality.
Overall, the lyrics present a powerful message about the dangers of ambition when left unchecked. They also urge listeners to pay attention to the advice of those who have more experience and wisdom and to reflect on the consequences of their actions. The song is a reminder that we must all strive to be responsible and ethical in our pursuit of success.

So from what I can puzzle together is that the priest (Azanias) , Clare and Ezequiel's father, is an angel just like them and he is incredibly manipulative and abusive towards his children. Therefore he is the complete opposite of how we'd imagine an angel. His halo is shown to be broken ( 0:41 ) and rather than having bright wings, his are dark. That could potentially indicate that he is a fallen angel. We can also see that his face is scarred, potentially showing that Clare tried to resist him at some point. (I don't think it's that likely but it could be)
At first he is only sexually abusing Clare but as soon as she leaves with the help of Roz, he moves on to Ezequiel and abuses him in the same way. The fact that Roz is somewhat "freeing" Clare from her "blue hell" (perhaps being a reference to the priest's blue hair) could be just because she had been weakened mentally and she was easy to corrupt or because he was somehow taking his revenge on Azanias for probably being the one who sealed him into the book.
As to why the door to the library used to be locked by heavy chains and it suddenly got opened, I mean, it's possible that in fact Roz opened it himself but I think that explanation would be too simple.
Also what I keep thinking is that Azanias and Ezequiel (naturally) look really similar to one another and that might also be the reason why Ezequiel has a deep hatred for his body (aside from the abuse he had to endure) and also why he decides to wear glasses (shown in the " Pick a flower meme") in order to alter his appearance..
Also can we just talk about Clare's eyes? They are gorgeous but in my opinion they aren't really how you'd expect the eyes of an angel. They look like a cat's eyes or a snake's eyes! Perhaps that was just a stylistic choice the artist made but maybe it does have a deeper meaning🤔

Alright, so the priest originally focuses their abuse upon clare, in the "pick a flower" meme we can see that Clare whilist seemingly happy before their demon side showed, they were actually not. Clare always had bruises on their throat, indicating abuse. As the abuse gains severity, Clare becomes more withdrawn and disassociates to the world.
Clare finds a demon calling to them one night, possibly promising release from the abuse they're suffering. They close the book however, indecisive. They end up escaping the church in general, leaving behind their old friend. Its clear they aren't meant to leave the church due to the missing posters in "her".
Im going to assume Clare follows the book, letting the demon give them the courage to escape. The demon is also not a kind person obviously.
As Clare is not there anymore, the priest turns their abuse towards the other. Inflicting upon him the same exact abuse he inflicted upon clare.
Difference is, nobody is there to save him. He grows up in the grasp of his abuser until he finally kills him. His abuser's ideals about christianity n shit still stand, and he carries that religious trauma around him.
Clare seems to be freed from that burden though, as they have now no influence upon them but themself. I can't exactly piece together what happens to clare after they run away though. Does the priest kill them? Does Ez kill them? Do they even die?
ALSO, the halos above their head seem to represent their current emotions about their religion & their own states. When Clare holds their demon tail their faith waivers, as they are meant to be a holy child and demons don't fit into that idea.
Ez seems to not understand the confliction upon Clare's face, thinking the tail is somehow a good thing. Ez's faith in Clare breaks a bit in that moment, not understanding why they are so reluctant to witness their own self. The priest's halo is thorned and black in moments of abusing, representing although they believe they are holy, they are nothing but corrupt and evil.
Hell, everything about the church is corrupt, you see blood leak from the crosses, showing how their religion is built upon blood. The cross locks up Clare's own self, imprisoning them for a side they can't control. Their religion is cruel and bounds them, leading to pain and suffering.

Yess more of the pieces to the puzzle of this story, but also giving us more questions. Anyways, I love being early to their masterpieces. This felt a bit different, more story orientated like not an animation meme or the usual stuff. To add, I love how they illustrate the eyelashes.
@mycathatesme1
Omg same! I adore the way they draw eyelashes
@thatscool8703
