Ashnikko - Dying Star (feat. Ethel Cain) (Official Visualiser)

[@chick-a-roo4860]

I just adore when Ashnikko strips down and embraces her vulnerability ❤️‍🩹 This song is so healing and powerful

Yess, this one of the reasons that i love Panic Attacks in Paradise so much ❤

[@Dvgteeth]

I’m sobbing. Two year ago I met my soulmate - she is the most incredible woman I have ever met and it is truly the softest, kindest, most beautiful love I could ever ask for. This one is going on our wedding playlist for sure.

[@Ashnikko]

choking up reading this i am so happy you found softness🥹❤️i feel so honored to be on that playlist

[@aidawaswhere]

​@Ashnikko Omg reading this made me cry, this is so wholesome

[@jessiep106]

This song brings me so much happiness and just makes me feel so calm. I can NOT get this out of my head! This whole album is pure perfection, thank you so much for making it Ash💖

[@cinderhearts]

Dude same. Went through hell with my past relationships for so many fucking years. Met my girlfriend 3 years ago and it’s like I can finally breathe. This song encapsulated so many feelings for me that I could never say on my own. Thank you Ashnikko ❤

Dying Star Lyrics [Verse 1: Ashnikko, Both] The ground reaches out to catch me Softly in her baseball mitt I'm tired of the dirt and grit I want something soft I'm a fish in a bucket, thrashing He tried to take me out, hooks in my mouth Listen to me when I say “ouch" I want something soft [Pre-Chorus: Ethel Cain] So I give into the fall, fall, fall (It's cold out here) I need something soft, down feathers over rocks I died and I land with both of my hands In the mud, the mud It felt like a God, how she held me I slept on her shoulder, I gave her my all (Is there anyone?) I bathed in her waterfalls And continued to fall, fall (I'm entering the exosphere) [Chorus: Ashnikko, Both] Burnin' like a dyin’ star Invasive weeds rooted in my heart Set in a crooked trajectory The journey here was hard I was almost pulled apart Tryin’ to leave this orbit took what's left of me [Verse 2: Ashnikko] The forest reaches out to guide me Blue fire paths of will-o’-wisps Illuminate the darkness's old tricks I'm nobody's captive (Mm) I asked him not to kill me politely He drained my magic core, bottled up at the source I washed up on a sea glass shores I'm nobody's captive (Mm) [Pre-Chorus: Ethel Cain] It felt like a God, how she held me I slept on her shoulder, I gave her my all I bathed in her waterfalls And continued to fall, fall [Chorus: Both] Burnin' like a dyin’ star Invasive weeds rooted in my heart Set in a crooked trajectory The journey here was hard I was almost pulled apart Tryin’ to leave this orbit took what's left of me Burnin' like a dyin’ star Invasive weeds rooted in my heart Set in a crooked trajectory The journey here was hard I was almost pulled apart Tryin’ to leave this orbit took what's left of me [Outro: Ashnikko] The ground reaches out to catch me Softly in her baseball mitt I'm tired of the dirt and grit I want something soft

@@AkisMI loved your cover so much!!!! And you should def check out Ashnikko shes a great artist🫶🫶

[@Roamingloba]

Experienced domestic abuse. And this song broke me down. It’s so hard to want more than anything to feel good and free but it’s also incredibly hard to close the door on the past, especially trying to close it while it’s a burning inferno and getting close to those memories are consuming.

[@RobotronSage]

Honestly The line ''i slept on her shoulder'' hits me unimaginably hard I swear i'll protect you

[@RobotronSage]

Either some real coincedental stuff or Either way this is extremely relative ...

[@RobotronSage]

I mean it's so ridiculously funny how much you sound like her i mean confusing right? ?? Look at least i can say i fucking love your voice like nothing else

[@lovedbyloonatic3081]

Ashnikko and Ethel Cain is a match made in Heaven. Ash’s artistry is so incredible and them having Ethel come in on such a raw track thoroughly destroyed me in the best way imaginable 💙✝️

[@Blxxdmage]

Ethel Cain is definitely top 5 favorites along with Ash 🥹

[@AnnaWaytray]

AN ASHNIKKO AND ETHEL CAIN COLLABORATION!? this is unprecedented! i love both artists, and this came up in my recommended videos, i love it!

[@kennyface461]

I found my soft place, years and years of suffering and finally found the woman of my life. Thank you for the song, it made me remember again that I fell in love with the most beautiful dream. 💙

[@positivelastaction3957]

What a way to end an absolute banger of an album. This song is utterly incandecent and cathartic. It's one of those perfect songs that sinks deeply into my truth.

[@timon9193]

Ethels voice is so soft and so beautiful

[@thisisafirstnamethisisalas97]

Such a beautiful aesthetic and it just fits the era of softness that sometimes we need. The journey here was hard. I was almost pulled apart.... burning like a dying star indeed.

[@lanafyrer]

The versatility that Ashnikko has is so incredible and this song is simply perfection in all its essence.

I really dig this side of Ashnikko. She is a brilliant artist. These lyrics are on point. 🖤

[@4AMHALLSPAM]

i cannot describe how amazing this album is. i won’t. i literally can’t. that’s all i have to say. 100.50/10. i’m sad. i’m happy. and i kinda want a movie for this album. or a mv for each song. i’m getting this on cd this weekend. i’ll listen to this all night. i can’t wait to listen to it on my bus to school tomorrow. it’s on repeat. i’m tired. i’m going to sleep. i’m beautiful.

I didn't listen to this song before I went to see Ashnikko in Philly. So the first time I ever heard this song was live. And I cried. And I cried. And I cried. This song was such an amazing experience to hear live. Hearing Ashnikko give us raw vocals, vulnerability, softness, if you will, was refreshing for me because all I knew was her harder stuff. I never knew Ashnikko had such an angelic singing voice. I hope as the tour goes on, more people hear this song and have that same out of body experience I did when hearing it live. I hope it brings people as much joy as it brought me. I love you Ashnikko ❤️

[@BEELZEBABE_]

Her sad songs are so slept on. This song is absolutely beautiful.

[@crystaldavison8299]

I have been listening to this song on repeat for 3 days now. I knew it was beautiful, added it to my favorites list the very first time I heard it but I don’t think I truly heard it until 3 days ago. I was driving home and Dying Star came, I turned it up and was singing along like usual and next thing I knew I was sobbing. For almost a year I’ve been aggressively planning to escape an abusive relationship and within the next month or two all of my efforts and planning should get me to my goal. The entire song is perfection, but that chorus. Oh, that chorus will live in my soul for the rest of my life. I’m no artist so I simply have no words that will do the beauty of this song any justice.

[@d33znutz420]

This is such a healing song, in both the subject matter and the rep. You're music is so healing to my inner child who was missing soft songs about queer love; I just know that if I had had this song when I was younger, I would have been able to have a voice to the feelings I had towards my "best friend" at the time - she was one of the only people who was loving towards me as a kid and we used to escape our shitty home lives by going off alone together away from the world. She was so sweet & beautiful (and also feisty ;P) I thought she was an angel

[@d33znutz420]

Just checked it out. Ow, I'm crying now lol 🥲@renee9977

This woman is the most versatile artist the world has seen in a long time. She’s not just a singer or performer she is a true artist. Her art is an experience felt throughout your entire body and mind. Every song centers around a different emotion and fully encompasses the emotion she is trying to convey. I went to see her in Philly last night but had a massive panic attack before she even came on- I was devastated to have to leave but fortunately got to hear most of the set while waiting in the rain for an Uber. So happy she has found her person she deserves something soft ❤

My dear Ash!! This song hits so close to home. I feel so thankful to have finally broken free from his decade-long orbit of chaos which drained me almost to my last drop. Slowly I’ve been rebuilding and finding my way. I almost was pulled apart but I’ve made it to the other side in one piece. I now have the opportunity to find the softness I’ve always wanted with my future love, just waiting patiently for her until then. Thank you for this and for the whole album, your music has played a huge part in my healing and empowering me to take my life back into my own hands. Will see you in Chicago this Saturday 💙
