EwokABdevito - Skorg And The Philosopher's Stone (Practical Alchemy Perfected) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

What is a symbol? Is a symbol just something that stands for something? How many things can one symbol stand for? Is a symbol an end in itself? Or is it a bridge?

The creation of a symbol is the declaration that you're 'Playing a game' with the world. Your symbol will be functional on two fronts:

1. Your personal world of the 'game' you've created with your intent.

2. The world with which your symbol is interacting.

To activate the 'Magic' of a symbol, it is the creators duty to find a way to make the two worlds symbolically intertwine. A humorous example of symbolic 'coincidence' is "Wal-Mart". A play on something as personal as the Walton name; yet "Wal-Mart" truly outdoes it's competitors leading to the symbolic coincidence of "Wal(l)- Mart". Another very similar instance is "Chase" bank. The symbol is

If you look closely you will see a Swastika/Gammadion with a white square blocking it's features. Also one square ring folded into an octahedron. The name "Chase" resonates with "Currency"; money is always in motion and most of us are "Chasing" our finances!

Even better take the Rap Genius Diamond Logo:

There is a distinct pattern of three triangles, on an awkward angle (against all odds) supporting 5 equilateral triangles all stacked quite nicely. Quite a nice little representation of how RG began.

Back to the subject at hand. Skorg/Score is a very potent symbol (consisting of lesser symbols like a musical note contains overtones.) Here are a few of the known symbolic foundations of the name:

1. Skorg is a spinoff of the legendary acronym for "KRS-ONE" (Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everyone) "Skorg" stands for (Supreme Knowledge Of Rap Genius

2. It's pronounced Score because the purpose of the account is to teach people how to find extra benefits in their productivity.

3. Why is the G silent? Because real G's move in silence like lasagna.

Moving past the symbolism of the word "Skorg". Dan, The man behind the symbol, has used this moniker to weave himself into the fabric of Genius. Creating Dozens of initiatives that play off of everything "Skorg" stands for. "Skorg" was just the diving board. Other initiatives created by the supra-personal symbolic infusion include:

1. Whaaatup-dan!

2. ESC

3. PODlox

4. MyPODner_Skorg
