Re: two lines same meaning

I do not agree with UVR. "Either or" reflect choices. So do "neither nor."
Only that here the choices are in negative connotation. For choices to occur
you need at least two entities.

While the absence of life and the presence of death are not exactly the same
thing as UVR states (how could they be if the words are different and the
perspectives different?), they do represent the same message said ionly with
different tonal effects. To get on track and talk about music. Just as a
clarinet and a violin could be substitutes for the same piece of music
composition (a choice phenomenon as explained by UVR) or they could be
playing the music simultaneously/ in unison and in conjunction with one
another resulting much richer tonal effects (a reinforcement phenomenon as
proposed by me).

While in the musical example both choice and reinforcement phenomenon are
possible, only the latter is feasible in the lyrics being analyzed here. As
stating one statement is enough to automatically imply the other without
being expilcit about it. When there is absence of life there HAS to be
presence of death without even mentioning it explicitly. Conversely, with
the presence of death, there HAS to be the absence of life without even
talking about it. The second statement is just a statement of the obvious
done to heighten the effect. That is, it adds no extra meaning; only the
flavor gets richer, just as playing the same tune by different instruments
simultaneously does not produce a different tune but only enhances the
effect.

I think this is really a complex analysis that we have plunged ourselves
into. My above explanation is only a very simplified version.
