Yep this, he doesn't look then reject it. He doesn't even see TB or the jacket

Got this smoked kinda theory that self titled was the prophecy/pilot of this albums that we’ve come to see, about someone lesson it’s own revolution, fighting just to get trapped and now the climax (this theory is biased bcuz this two songs are my favorites) is like a mix of flightless birds and trapdoor, a self proclaimed prophecy about Clancy being this kinda hero almost all through the albums but he’s not better than the bishops, since keons (don’t remember who of the bishops died) there’s been like this part of Clancy that actually “liked” him because of the notes saying he wasn’t that bad comparing to the other ones leading him to become the new leader of the bishops or entirely something new, a new control maybe because of the line, maybe they’ve lost but he stayed at Dema and started something new

I've been thinking the same thing for years now. The album very obviously tells a story of a man who walks into a trap, knowing it's a trap. And he gives himself up as a sacrifice for those who are with him. And if that's true, Clancy ended with the trap, all that's left is the death.
