The end of the City Walls MV showcases Torchbearer and a bandito discussing Clancy, the new bishop, and TB says "that's not him, he's still out there, and we will try again"

we already know that Intentions is not the true "ending" to Breach because we have the song Drag Path from digital remains.

the final lyrics are: "you found me" did TB really try again and find the "real clancy"?

what if Drag Path is released to all platforms as a single and we get the REAL final MV to end the lore?? thoughts on this??? ik it's a stretch but Drag Path fits into the lore SOMEHOW!

#

also forgot to say, "abandoned by the sun" is a City Walls lyric and in Drag Path it says "Then the sun begins to rise"

to me, drag path is just about how torchbearer never gives up on clancy no matter how many times the cycle repeats. It’s a metaphor for how god never gives up on him, which is why i think it was omitted from the regular album

I do believe drag path is after CW and it's Clancy/Clancy's soul calling out to torchbearer to start the cycle again and try again

I would love if the dr puzzle is the mv for Drag path but if it's that I'm pretty sure it'll be only in Clancy's head kinda like the contract

#

Like a weird and cryptic man in a christmas underpants said "the sun will rise and we will try again"

#

The fact that all albums, even before blurryface, fits the lore is insane honestly

I hadn't thought about drag path this way really, is the general consensus that it's being sung from the perspective of another clancy, for the next cycle?

i personally view it as happening post-city walls and being the same clancy. i genuinely don't know where the multiple clancys theory comes from 😭

I think the notion of a "new Clancy" is misleading. It's still Clancy, and it's still Nico. It's a cycle, it's repeating.

Clancy and Nico are the ideas they represent, not actual people. Clancy is and always will be the strive to rid oneself of depression and fear, and Nico will always be the personification of those fears.

Either that our the city walls clancy is a past clancy, and our clancy is I a later cycle, based on the black being on his neck instead of face

clancy is split into two people: (my smile wraps around my head splitting it in two) his true self, and the person he doesn't want to be/is not which is Blurry/nova bishop. clancy IS STILL OUT THERE, and maybe the puzzle is clues as to where he is?

" i wonder where you are, i wanted you to show me" what if it's not him talking to nico but to himself. this could also be a lyrical callback to polarize: I don't know where you are, you'll have to come and find me
