Semiology is a scientific study of form, since it studies signification apart from content. Semiology is the relation between a signifier and a signified. A sign is a combination of the signifier and the signified. The signified is the concept whereas the signifier is the image. Moreover, the relation between concept and image is sign. However, a mythology is like a domino effect in terms of semiology, something that was a signifier becomes a signified.

Maybe it can signify something !

A signified can have many signifiers. "Autobiography of Red" has a lot of repetition in it. Some of the words, which are repeated a lot are red, light, and time. I think these word signify the explosion of Geryon, which we do not witness in the book. However, there is a foreshadowing, Ancash told Geryon that he wants to see him fly away using his wings. That is somewhat like an explosion because he will leave and forget his past. That can be like an explosion because he would be leaving it all behind an relieving his pains.
