Here is my attempt at deciphering icons

Element: Blackness

Example: The rooster’s Laughter

-There is a rooster on a sphere; there is a man at the bottom of a staircase and a woman up in arms next to a bowl of food?

-A rooster shows up again on the bottom right of the image with a giant winged creature standing over some I believe to be dead.

-Now we see the same winged creature standing over a woman in a coffin. I’m starting to think this is all about someone that had an accident when they feel down the stairs and this is the after math.

-The rooster and creature are dressed as men in some type of mausoleum, and there is a body that appears to be lifeless denoted by the skull at its feet.

-Yet again there is a rooster and a dead body, maybe the dapper rooster in men’s clothing represents a homicide detective? 

-Possibly the rooster or anything assimilated with the rooster icon means death. Everywhere there is a rooster there is some element of death, sometimes more obvious than others.

-They’re a lot of scenes depicted that might have correlations with Death expressions, such as death sneaking around the corner, and skeletons in the closet.

But, what do I know I just like drawing cool pictures and this is just my extremely rough personal interpretation.
