Two and a half years: The overlooked EURINGER song connected to PINK and Self-titled

I'm yapping again ougg this is a crosspost of my twitter thread but cleaned up

Have you ever noticed how the beginning and end of MSI poetically come full circle? Both bring in religion. It starts with the self-titled and ends with PINK, right?. We'd think this would be the last religious reference from Jimmy, but actually, we'd come across it again, for the last time.

The last track of EURINGER, Two and a half years, is a track from an overlooked album that doesn't relate directly to MSI, but does relate to James Euringer, and quite a lot. We all felt like EURINGER was more of a personally instrospective album, with songs like Problematic, Piece of me, That's how Jimmy gets down, and Fuck Everything, that clearly talk about Jimmy's position about many situations that surrounded him at that time.

The part I want to highlight has an explicit religious context, but is often overlooked, not because it’s "boring," but because it’s in spanish. I translated it.

As a native Spanish speaker, I had trouble understanding this: phrases are cut off, reused, reversed, syllables and words are skipped, whispers along with a tense sound. Why would Jimmy do this? Is he trying to tell us (or not tell us) something?

This wouldn't be the first one Jimmy makes something like this, in fact, it reminded me of Envy, a song that also makes use of backmasking, ambiguous sounds and cryptic whispers to deliver a mysterious message.

How much impact does religion have on your life to reflect it in this way?

I wondered about this and looked back on what we already know. Despite knowing that Jimmy is strongly anti-religion, religion has been (or could still be) a profound part of him.

Jimmy was raised in a catholic school and likely a religious household. His Mexican mom, from a predominantly catholic country, may have instilled this faith in him. The video is in spanish, so I interpret his religious influence as coming from his mom.

What is happening in the scene?

My interpretation is: James leaves the table, frustrated by his father's words. He walks out of the house, and we hear him running down the street or getting out of a car until he reaches a place where a speaker/preacher/worship leader is reciting praises.

He opens the door, and we hear the voice more clearly, it makes little echo, so I think it's more like a garage room or empty big room that is used to pray.

(This is what I imagine)

The track then transitions from him being in that room to apparently being in a park or field, with grass, bird and insects around, the tense sound has dissapeared. Could it maybe communicate peace? introspection? melancholy?

For me, I feel that it means this was a flashback, and his mind just returned to the present in his home in New Zealand, where we know there are open fields and animals, hence the sounds.

Finally, the track ends with one simple piano note, which clearly feels melancholic, or contemplative. It’s as if James was reflecting on something, or a painful memory has resurfaced in his mind.

It’s truly fascinating, and I believe it’s something worth exploring if you're interested in this topic. In conclusion, I love how these subtleties exist and invite deeper reflection on his career/life.
