Collared / SAROS

I just realized that usually in the chorus, saros is surprised when they turn around, but in the final part, they're confident. Maybe they're no longer ashamed of who they are anymore.

I find the symbolisms of rabbits and major religious undertones to be interesting. Especially how in the Old Testament, rabbits were thought of as unclean animals. They represent lust and unbridled sexuality/ or uncontrolled sexual passions. Really love the symbolisms! (Plus there some stories that I have seen where rabbits have sometimes represented gay folk. So that's interesting lol)

[@jackmahoney1001]

Yeah, I think it’s can be seen as both! The ones in the church are the typical “””innocent and pure””” docile rabbits, and the ones in the orange scenes are queer and more free folk, like in the Old Testament! They’re being their true selves, unlike the re-written history that tries to paint them as docile, and forces them to do so

The more I watch this video, the more I realize how clever the writing is. It's clearly dealing with themes of religious guilt and BDSM, and the lines about feeling collared refer to more than just the obvious kink overtones. It also refers to the way that guilt from religious hangs around your neck, like the collar of a priest.

[@PrisonRealm]

This isn’t much to add but I always thought it was weird that the hearts look like butts when they curl in. It might just be artistic choice but with the context I feel like it was purposeful. (Sorry this is goofy to add LMAO)

[@sgt.doughnut5918]

It also touches on the fact that to some people bondage, when done without coercion and is instead embraced in a healthy way can be fully liberating. The character is still in a collar and bondage gear, but seems more happy after turning their back on the shackles that religion placed on them.

What's really interesting is that, when I listened to the song before thjs MV, it always gave me the imagery of wolves or some other carnivorous predator due to the those types of animals seen to be needing taming, so it's REALLY interesting how this MV uses rabbits instead. Rabbits are seen as docile beings, which is probably what the church wants its members to be, but even bunnies can have a bite to them, kind of like Saros's fangs, something that they were most likely born with

The adorable little fangs is a really good choice that reflects the stance of the church and conservatives on these things. In their view, you only become one because you were exposed to one.

That’s why all their talking points are about “turning” people. …or maybe they are just a vampire and I’m reading too much into the character design.

Hey I revised the spanish for Vane in this, so here are some translation notes for non-spanish speakers: 0:05 "Padre nuestro en el cielo, santificado-" Is the start of the prayer "Our Father Who Art in heaven, hallowed (...) 0:09 "Padre" In this context Padre is the priest of the church 0:57 "Mijito, dios te quiere, él solo quiere protegerte" means "Dear child* God loves you, He only wants to protect you" In this context mijito doesn't mean literally son like it usually does, it's just an endearing way to call someone else's children. 1:59 "Oye, wey, ¿estás allí? En el cielo tan bello" means "Hey, man, are you there? In the heaven so beautiful" Hope it helped! 💗

[@vanelily]

thank you so much for revising the spanish with me when i was workin on it!! sorry for telling you this was for a kevin song. edit: i also wanted to add that the our father in spanish is purposefully misquoted, hence the (??? in the mv on that line. the proper intro to the prayer is "padre nuestro, que estás en el cielo, santificado(...)" also "wey" can also be translated as "dude" which is a bit funny in the songs context since its very casual and not something you should just casually call god LOL

[@makosinnergy]

others have already pointed out the more obvious symbolism behind the rabbit imagery, but i'd like to give special mention to tu'er shen, the chinese god of love and sex between men; said to have been a man named hu tianbao, he was caught peeping on the imperial inspector he'd fallen for through a bathroom wall -- forced to confess his affection, only to be beaten to death. a month later, he appeared in the dreams of a man from his hometown as a young hare, claiming that since his crime was one of love -- and thus, an unjust death -- the officials of the underworld had appointed him as god and safe-guarder of homosexual affairs. "rabbit" is actually chinese slang for gay people, although i'm unsure if that came before or after this guy, lmao. he had a pretty decent cult in the fujian province, and was specifically mentioned in the qing dynasty's outlawing of homosexual sex (among other things)... and there remains a temple dedicated to him in taiwan to this day! it frequently sees gay couples looking to officiate gay marriages or make prayers. on the western side of things, rabbits are traditionally associated with fertility (ofc) -- that's why they're all over easter -- and immortality; the three hares/rabbits is an ancient symbol that appears all the way from east asia to england itself, and its origins are actually unknown (afaik), but it's thought to be a representation of infinity. when present in christian spaces, it represents the holy trinity. back over in east asia, there's also the mythical moon rabbit, said to be pounding out either the elixir of life... or rice cakes. they're very versatile little guys! :) (also, this song bangs. holy shit. definitely going on loop for the next week -- amazing work!

the art and editing in this mv is INSANELY good, everyone who worked on this did an absolutely amazing job, and all of it comes together to make something absolutely incredible I'M ALSO LIKE,, OBSESSED WITH THE THEMES BEHIND THIS SONG AND THE LYRICS. it's a very mature song and it delivers it's messages so well,, the way ur upbringing defines how ur relationships form in adulthood, how people raised with religion are taught to believe some parts of themselves are inherently dirty or unholy, and the ways those things can be reclaimed in adulthood. like u grow up being told that ur feelings are bad or dirty and rather than trying to scrub those parts of u away u embrace them in ways so they no longer hurt you. the way that the metaphor of the collar is used as an agent to bind or restrict, but it turns into something u reclaim and take control back of in the context of BDSM, where any and all activity is safe and only happens on the terms of both parties, is SO GOOD!!!

And so the padre's talking, he's doing his thing He takes a breath, looks up, and starin' at me He says: "Holy bunnies, white as snow," "Will you promise not to ever roam?" I don't know when these feelings all began It seems the Devil and I walked hand in hand And so I'd run and run and run away Endless circles through a senseless game I would pray for an answer every night But the moon stayed silent with its damning light And so I'd run and run and run away Feigning solace through a holy fatе Now, the echoes intеrlace Repeating sacred grace to save the misbehaved A picture-perfect masquerade Embracing faded pages of tainted saints "Mijito, Dios te quiere" "El solo quiere protegere" A saying I've heard before Adorning covenants Dear God, I'm bored [Pre-Chorus] We've lost our youth to the night Left to find reason between every fracture of Light In portraits portraying our lives Can we redefine what it means to be Alive If the scripture says it's sin, then let's begin A dying wish Although our cards were dealt in blinded bliss There's hope beyond this lone abyss Leave bruises on my neck We won't regret Our staggered breaths I wanna feel your body close But there's something latching to my throat It's got me CO-CO-CO-CO-What?

I KEEP COMING BACK TO THIS SONG, and I've just GOT to point out the huge amount of double-entendre symbolism! There's the obvious symbolism of the collar in the context of religious restrictions, as well being used in the freedom of consentual BDSM; but then there's also the use of bunnies that are shown here both as a symbol of 'purity', as well as being a sexual symbol ("___ like rabbits" is a common simile). There's also a bunch of lyrics with double meanings too!! 1) "Although our cards were dealt in blinded bliss" - Blinded bliss could refer to being born into the comfort and ignorance of religion, but can also refer to being born out of the 'bliss' of an orgasm. 2) "... to shun the only one who could have saved you from humanity's sun" - I think this is a play on words; the usual sentence is "saved from humanity's sin", but in this version it's 'sun', not 'sin'-- referring to how the religion was keeping them from one of the joys of being human. I'm sure there's many more, but those are the two that I find most interesting that I haven't seen mentioned yet! AND THEN there's the color palette of the video that's (intentionally or unintentionally) the non-binary flag colors, which I think works SUPER well!!!

The visuals and the electro swing go SO well together, and ironically this is my first time hearing SAROS so it had me pausing the video a couple seconds in to double check if this was a voicebank or a person recording--absolutely fantastic all around!!! ❤❤❤ (I know there's already much more articulately worded comments about the symbolism and themes in the song so I won't repeat the obvious but I really enjoy the imagery of rabbits being used here, since they're almost universally used as shorthand for naive/innocent/small-minded people but in this MV that's instead turned around into a "pure" sacrifical creature choosing its own fate and redefining what it means to experience things like lust and desire; very epic very cool I like it a lot) Edit: nevermind I do want to go into detail actually. Another thing that makes my brain go brrrrrrr is the usage of light/specifically the moon as the only warm color in the MV and the use of "humanity's sun" instead of the more obvious "humanity's sin", kind of like it's drawing parallels between the sun and moon--the moon being out during the night, the main character's outfit adorned with flowers the same color as the moon--I know it's probably just to make the rhyme work but I really like the idea of the moon being used as a metaphor for humanity's desires (much less bright than the sun, since having desires isn't "sinful" like the "sun" is in this case)

[@novasnow]

You couldent just resist could you understandible this song rips it out of you

[@justpeachy4050]

Another interesting thing about the color is that yellow (i.e. the flowers and their eyes. I am just simplifying and saying yellow too) in color theory can be taken in two completely different directions, caution and happiness. The first interpretation lines up with the first half of the song where they believe what they are doing is wrong, and the second reflects them accepting themselves and living freely.

[@firenzarfrenzy4985]

"If the world wants us to burn, we'll join the stars and watch it turn." I may be straight but that line is POWERFUL. Taking the antithesis of the connotations for burning in this context and flipping it to a positive is so poetic. It's a tragedy that hard-line Christians scorn LGBTQ people so much they wish for them to burn in hell. So taking 'burn' away from that and to be something positive and wonderful like a star burning and shining is just genius. Fuck the Church. Any benevolent god would not punish their creations for acting as they will. I'm gonna have a fun time analysing this song. My orientation does not allow me to grasp it as well or feel it as meaningful as others, but I'm gonna get every piece of meaning out of it that I can! (Besides, much more fun analysing the vibrant works of internet artists than Shakespeare any day.)

This song kinda emphasizes one of the main things that I don't necessarily like when it comes to Christianity/Christian-like religions, this idea that your life is planned out ahead of you. I know it's not the main point of the song but the line about rewriting sonnets stuck out to me as that's one of the reasons I'm no longer a Christian. Now, I'm not gonna sit here and say that Christianity as a whole is evil and wrong, in fact, I think there are a lot of good moral lessons that can be taken from the Bible's stories (as long as you take them with a bit of salt). Regardless, one of the things I was always told growing up was that God has a plan for all of us and that the hardships are meant to strengthen us. As someone who lost both his parents and is currently living with his aunt and uncle, I don't care if you have good intentions no one needs to go through that hardship. Long story short, I've always had a problem with this idea that everything about your life is planned ahead and God takes all the credit for it, it's BS and it pisses me off. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

[@dannylo5875]

True. And reason so much distorted stuff exists in regard to suffering is the church wanted to consider people slaves to their circumstances and not question what the church was and what they used the poor people's money for. While everyone else suffered, starved, and died...they left out books tbat showed Jesus saying that weak or wealthy is something even the rich person has to keep working on to occupy his time...about people with disabilities...he really doesn't care to help them or heal them. He just says they were born for a reason and that also has its own implications...and people don't understand God likes to rig things and there is an underlying rule in order even in supposed chance...so think about how people pretty much are born into circumstances they may or may not want but God has a formula to see how many people or combinations of individuals thoughts and ideas and random spontaneous events happening. He can rig or do things on a whim that he wants.

[@dannylo5875]

If he wants. He can also chain people into circumstances they never would have wanted just because he wants it that way. God is neither Good nor evil. Just neutral and just because he created demons or has them fall to become them doesn't mean he did as well not create vectors or anything like to control them...

yk as a queer Christian this really hits hard. I don’t believe being gay is a sin. The denomination of Christianity I subscribe to doesn’t believe that either, but there’s still something from the church of my childhood that holds me back. It makes me afraid.

[@AmmieMuffins]

I haven't seen any comments that really get into the story here, so I'm gonna take a crack at it. - I'm sure the most obvious interpretation is that Saros is gay or bisexual, but has been forced into the closet by the vilification of LGBT+ relationships in their religion. Out of shame for 'sinning' and possible fear of going to Hell, they deny their feelings and desperately pray to God to 'fix them', only to end up entering a secret relationship and accepting their sexuality because it makes them feel good and free - or, in their words, alive. - I get the impression that it's also about religion shaming and controlling sexual behavior (i.e, purity culture). Saying it can only be done certain ways, forbidding gay marriage and sex before marriage, expecting men and women to play certain roles, etc. - Assuming the flowers are marigolds, I feel the need to point out that marigolds are symbols of purity and divinity, were used to decorate church altars, and got their name from the biblical Mary. This makes Saros wearing them in their chorus outfit rather interesting - they could either be mocking their religious upbringing with their newfound freedom from it or trying to honor any good lessons it taught them despite the harm it caused. Either way, they seem to have come to terms with it. I'm sure there's more, but this is my understanding. The 'serpent's kiss' mentioned in the final chorus certainly refers to something - but what that something is, I admittedly don't know.

[@Wince_Media]

I do wanna say they do have an official name: SAROS, but Mari is a very cute name for them too!

[@hamsandwich1628]

Isn't Saros the synth/voicebank used? Edit: nevermind. Vane confirmed further down that the character is Saros, just styled up for the mv

[@zorinazutella3270]

"Serpent's kiss" is probably referring to the myth of Adam and Eve, specifically when the serpent tempted Eve to eat the forbidden fruit. As someone raised in the faith (lmao fuck that shit) I've heard it referred to as something like the serpent's kiss or serpent's seduction a few times.

[@JohnSmith-xv1tp]

As a former fundamentalist myself, your interpretation is accurate. A lot of people go through this. They are raised Christian, encounter something that conflicts with their faith beliefs, and attempt to get answers from Pastors, Priests, and endless nights in prayer to God. When the pastors' answers ring hollow, and when they receive nothing but silence from a seemingly non-existent God, whom allegedly personally cares about them, they give up hoping for non-forthcoming answers and instead make their own path. I myself just had questions about the fundamental nature of God and how it conflicts with what we observe in both the world and scriptures. However, LGBT people have the added weight of questioning their own nature at the same time. And 'Recreate the Serpent's Kiss', while not referenced directly in scriptures as such, in this context, it likely does refer to what the serpent convinced Adam and Eve to do in the Garden of Eden, that is disobey God by eating the Fruit of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

[@charliegibson4016]

I love the symbolism of the imagery in this song! As I interpret it it, this song is about reclaiming things that you were hurt by, or brought up to believe was wrong. Particularly about religion teaching that sexuality is “wrong” and “sinful”. In that sense, I love the way that the collar represents both being bound or suppressed, before being used as a symbol of bdsm; Where all participants feel free to express their sexuality. Also the fact that rabbits represent both innocence, and religious icons related to the holy trinity and Easter, but are also notoriously fertile and lustful. The contrast of the monochrome with the bright gold also is really nice. TLDR: the music video is so good and works fantastically with the themes of the song (which is an absolute banger)

(the tuning is rlly good too i'm just not picky abt tuning at all so i don't have much to say abt it but yeah the dynamics really work well within the song and are able to provide emphasis to the emotion in the lyrics !)

[@zoidsfan12]

Everyone is talking about the rabbits but I want to talk about the repression aspect that is the main theme. In this case the hyper repression of sexuality leading to a wholehearted embrace of all that was considered dirty and wrong by organized religion. This aspect is similar to the kid that never drank alcohol becoming a huge partier in college. In jungian philosophy the more we repress parts of ourselves the more power we give to that metaphorical shadow until eventually it completely controls us. As well with Christians specifically there is a common trend of masochism and a want to be punished. It has been so ingrained into one to repent and been ingrained that we are imperfect and will never live up to our expectations. Christianity essentially sets you up to fail and then profits off your guilt. As well when someone embraces deviancy and takes the similar perspective to the chronic disappointment child (If I am already a disappointment to my parents, letting them down again won't be anything out of the norm) where due to already believing themselves condemned to hell they embrace it. There is a reason why the gay community heavily identifies with satanic imagery, we feel we are already condemned and thus we embrace it. I myself haven't been christian for some time but still have much of the masochistic tendencies. They are somewhat kept in check by me doing combat sports, but under the skin, especially in a sexual context my brain still defaults so "whip me, beat me, cut me, tear me limb from limb".
