r-905 has seriously been one of my favourite artists lately, their choruses are always so punchy

[@foxied]

SO REAL I fell in love with their music after checking their songs

[@amethystsubsstuff]

i literally thought it was sekai singing for the entire subbing process before looking back at the wiki and realizing that its actually popy. i have never heard of popy

[@envy_342]

Rose sings most of the song, actually!! Popy sings these parts 3:50 4:34 4:56 they're from a collaboration between cevio and Bandori, basically the characters from the game became voicebanks. their providers are respectively Aiba Aina and Aimi and they're amazing singers!!

@@envy_342 i knew that rose sings most of the song, but i never knew that they're a bandori collab :o thats cool!!

I love the beat of this song, it's so sick ❤

[@envy_342]

this song is soooo good (I hope someone smart shares their theories though cus I have no clue what it's about)

[@amethystsubsstuff]

thankfully 2 hours later i am now sane so im gonna share my theory here i think this song is about a long-distance relationship or online friendship that goes downhill. the singer's friend/lover won't respond to any of their messages or calls, despite them saying they would in the past (which is the reason for all the lyrics referencing pinky promises). the cutting of the phone line represents the other person "cutting them off", but the scissors are rusty and won't open, possibly representing how the other person is too afraid to actually let go. in the end, the other person tries to reach out to them again - "the light that's been restored". tbh a lot of this is probably just me projecting as i sorta feel like the other person in this song, but i do think that it's definitely about some kind of toxic long-distance relationship. based on the "lil' ol' me" line, it's even possible that the other person was cutting them off for a reason, rather than just being bad at replying. idk, this song is pretty vague about what it's specifically about. but anyway yea thats my theory

@@amethystsubsstuff thx for sharing!! i think it's for sure about a long distance relationship (romantic or otherwhise) and probably a toxic one but the rest is really subjective

@@amethystsubsstuff wow this song was hunting for me.

[@foxied]

​@amethystsubsstuff Jesus christ😳😳 I thought of it slightly but could never interpret the scissors part... absolutely agreed on the relationship part, perhaps the symbols are even a shocking addition to it

[@foxied]

​@@ghostiieeseasonhelp in my case I was the one hunting for the song😭😭😭
