ScissorShoe
The concept of scissors and of the action of 'cutting' seems to repeatedly occur throughout Sparkles*' use of various media. The current relationship to Digital Haunt and the relevance of 'cutting' to the concept album is unknown, however the idea seems to occur too frequently to be coincidental.
In some cultures scissors are used as metaphors for ending relationships with friends or family. Or even as an omen for bad luck.
Lyrics relating to Scissors or Cutting
Heaven-Piercing Giga Drill
Cut it, cut it out!
The Strays
Cut to the next scene
The Tape
I can't cut the excess cables
Cut yourself from earthly trestles
Aboulia
It’ll cut you with the scorn
Blow out the Candles
You're cutting your eyes
Scissorshoe
This is what Sparks had to say about the ScissorShoe
Sparkles* posted an instagram picture featuring his shoe, with a pair of scissors as a method of 'ventilation'. This, curiously, was then retweeted by Cassandra's Twitter account. When Sparkles* noticed that this had gathered some notice, he laughed and claimed it was a 'BIG clue'.
(Sparkles* also came in to Parv's room during one of Parv's early livestreams holding a pair of scissors, this could also be a clue or just coincidence).
