Chronos Feasts on His Children

Chronos Feasts on His Children

Unknown Mortal Orchestra

“Chronos Feasts on His Children” is an acoustic song which seems to use the allegory of Chronos feasting on his children to convey its message.

Chronos is a mythical god of Greek origin who consumed his children as he was afraid of them growing stronger and soon taking his place as the king and conquering him.

This holds with Sex & Food’s dark themes, as the song seems to be a metaphor for previous/older generations wanting to maintain power, rather than accepting change.
