"New Moon On Monday? Duran Duran's Illuminati Message?"

Duran Duran's song "New Moon On Monday" from their chart topping 1983 LP "Seven And The Ragged Tiger" has been on my mind now for a few weeks. As we've seen in various other threads the music industry is rife with Illuminati symbolism and inuendo spewed forth as a public display to who knows what end. This is debatable to be sure, but in those moments when a particular lyrical phrase catches one's mind is it unwise to simply dismiss it and move on? That's a rhetorical question.

There seem to be to be a number of intersting lyrical inuendo put forth in "New Moon On Monday.

Reference to "lizard mixture(s)" [hybrid DNA?]

"dance on the EVEN TIDE" [pole shift affecting the Earth's tide?]

"Answers denied", "Couldn't really put it much plainer" (as in, here it is all laid out, but let the listener put the puzzle together, we can't let the secret out directly, but the saavy listener might piece together the clues...)

"Catching a ride"
and
"breaking away with THE BEAST OF BOTH WORLDS" [shades of Nibiru? planetary evacuation?]

And of course a day/date to look for; when there is a new moon, on a Monday.

Read the lyrics and contemplate the juxtaposition of certain phrases, read between the lines and post your comments. Or perhaps I'm just seeing things in the song that aren't there. It's still a great song. I even linked the video. Enjoy.

New Moon On Monday

Shake up the picture the lizard mixture
With your dance on the eventide
You got me coming up with answers
All of which I deny

I said it again but could I please re-phrase it
Maybe I can catch a ride
I couldn't really put it much plainer
But I'll wait till you decide

Send me your warning siren
As if I could ever hide
Last time la luna,
I light my torch and wave it for the...

New moon on Monday
And a firedance through the night
I stayed the cold day with a lonely satellite

Breaking away with the beast of both worlds
A smile that you can't disguise
Every minute I keep finding
Clues that you leave behind
Save me from these reminders
As if I'd forget tonight
This time la luna

I light my torch and wave it for the...

I light my torch and wave it for the...

New moon on Monday
And a firedance though the night...

Interesting. I never would've thunk it. I believe the actual New Moon is

New moon May 3, 2011 12:51:23 AM

Which would make it New Moon on Tuesday but to be fair Monday is within the 3 day window.

- PS

Here's the album cover both front and back and the "Seven And The Ragged Tiger" symbol (looks like a Z with two intersecting horizontal lines).
Notice the All Seing Eye on the front cover in the lover left corner, the astrological symbols on the rear and the "map?".

Anybody have any ideas concerning these?

I noticed on the bottom left corner of the map in the body of water theres a strange object/symbol with a faint line that rises up linking it to what looks like a castle or something..Strange.

Are Duran Duran Satanist?
Cos if I am not mistaken

isnt that "Cross with an infinity symbol"

the symbol for the church of Satan?


and I know its pretty damned abstract imagination...

but that map kinda.... kinda looks like the Mississipi river

hello

Simon Le Bon the lead singer never hide that he was attracted by occultisme, phylosophie, and ancient knowledge, and when duran duran record Seven and the Ragged Tiger the band was totally lost making to much party and drugs, Simon Le bon had say that the band decide to isolate on an island and made a trip to australia to meet a shaman, this album reflect there mood at this moment,looking for spirtuality and balance and the album are not the best one and after that the band start to decline until they split.

and if you want an answer about all the imagery on the cover look to Malcolm Garrett (graphic design) and Keith Breeden (illustration) duran duran have nothing to do with the cover

Looks like the "All Seeing Eye"... Of The Tiger (Rocky)

I also compared the images of the Mississippi River in your link to the artwork and I don't see them matching up anywhere, other than that they're both rivers. Interesting nevertheless.

Also...
pitchdragon posted above regarding LeBon's interest in the occult. I don't know one way or the other.

I'll buy that.

There has been some speculation that the moon is an embryonic planet being "fed" by human souls harvested by klipothic entities: www.abovetopsecret.com...

There has been further speculation that the moon is almost ready to "hatch"; being quickened off one last great harvest.

I harken back to when I read "Moonchild" by Crowley, wading my way through the distasteful misogynist subtext and the florid, gawdawful prose. The novel culminated in the moonchild ending up in the care of Black Lodge magicians.

Taken as an allegory describing a larger process, it acquires some deeply ominous overtones.

"New asteroid on Monday, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah."
Everyone hum along.

Quite an interesting thread. Unfortunately I'm not too knowledgeable when it comes to the Illuminati, but keep up the good work.

Also, love Duran Duran.

There'a a new moon on Sunday/Monday August 28th, 29th. And Irene is due to hit New York around that time. With this in mind the album art with the rivers reminds me of the New York area, the island Boroughs especially. Just a little bit more flooded...

And the new moon, according to the Weather Channel, will exacerbate things...
