Headcase - Derivakat [OFFICIAL M/V]

[@TheAdvertisement]

That "diagnosed with terminal velocity" part is so subtly unsettling to me. Like you're not just mentally unwell, you're hurtling deeper and deeper into your depression.

"What's your favourite song?" "Derivakat." "That's not a-" "Derivakat."

Funfact derivakat's songs are the onyl songs i can call my faves

[@ThisNamesUnavailable]

honestly i hate songs. just in general. EXCEPT derivakat

[@Skylar-l0ves]

And Neathan Apollo. Every song is a banger.

[@the1stdirectioner171]

Yes. So many bangers. I’m waiting for a specific one to be released. It will immediately go on my phone

[@TurkeyLegsEater]

Agreed jovinarr

[@Kerloft]

Every time Derivakat releases a new song you just KNOW it’s gonna be epic! I love the animation in this one too! Very colourful!

[@GalactoTheGamer2099]

And the song itself is extremely good

[@Jaxonn2]

Yeah!

[@shenzixirgs8152]

A note, the poster on the left says ‘SCREAM THERAPY//DO YOU NEED TO LET IT ALL OUT?’ and the one on the right says ‘Exercise! Be Happier! Do More!’. The graffiti on the left says ‘NO.//VELOCITY//MIND’ and the one on the right says ‘CAN’T BE CURED’. It’s really hard to see tho so I might be wrong. Neat detail.

[@emeraldmelodies]

I like how each song in this archive shows anger felt at different times at a person's life Tool is anger from your social life Cycle is anger from your hobbies Smile is anger from your work life And Headcase is anger from bad mental health, felt in your quiet moments

[@Hamza2_7272]

actually so true

[@okboomerbutitsacat8050]

this is the third interpretation I've seen and idk which I like more, this, them being categorized by who they're directed at in the cycle (tool - anger toward the people who make the cycle cycle - anger toward the cycle itself, smile - anger toward the people who are part of the cycle, headcase - anger toward yourself as a part of the cycle) or it being by different types of anger (tool- agressive, explosive anger cycle - passive, spiteful anger smile - subdued, silenced anger headcase - helpless anger)

[@theangemon4155]

The vibes from this song are so great! They're contradictory, having both a jolly and sad side to them, and it's so masterfully done.

[@Aryc11]

This "apathetic rage" is such a great angle for your Anger Archive. And an absolute banger to boot.

[@maxdragon5043]

I like how each of the four song in the "Anger Archive" represent a specific type of anger (At least they are to me): - Tool: Explosive/Obvious anger. The kind that I think we all know of. When somebody just snaps and goes off on somebody else/something. Most of the time we won't even notice it until it passes through us. - Cycle: Passive/Spite anger. The kind that is not as explosive and obvious as the above, but still drips through every words you say or every actions you take. (The entire song screams like a passive-aggressive rant to me, where the person is not directly addressing the issue, more so just throwing shades towards it) - Smile: Silence/Subdued anger: The kind that's even less visible compared to the two above, where you bottles up all your emotions and tension inside, only expressing it through your train of thoughts as opposed to physically or verbally. - Headcase: I'm actually not sure yet :v. But goddamn is it a bop like the others.

[@a_puntato29]

definitely agree, and headcase to me seems like a sort of rebellious anger? like punching up at something unjust above/being done to you- in this case a misdiagnosis/assumption of sorts leading to people looking down on you my brain's not letting me word things well tonight, but hopefully you get my point :)

[@nobody-rg3cc]

To me headcase feels spiteful, but not in the way portrayed in Cycle but in a more hopeless way, anger against the world for being different and never belonging, though that's me

[@icemouse9]

Headcase: Apathetic/Hopeless anger. The kind that sits and silently drowns the person feeling it. literally the line "a victim of the worlds relentless apathy.".

[@a_puntato29]

@@icemouse9 i mean that's the _world's_ apathy, not the singer

[@icemouse9]

@@a_puntato29 In my opinion, Apathy tends to rub off on others and causes itself. Apathetic people make an apathetic world and an apathetic world creates apathetic people.

[@RadioWraith881]

Another incredible, very real, very relevant, meaningful and impactful song, Kat!! Your lyrics are always so inventive and real, I mean your skills and talents in general are incredible across the board. Super well done, awesome work, congratulations on your first EP!!!

[@sylentone4730]

My favriot part is when 1:07 starts that part is really relatable and it has a lot of meaning behind it and how it relates to the human experience, this is a song of all time for me

[@wolfblaze6227]

I've never heard any song that described how I felt with PTSD back in the day. Like everyone's ignoring what happened while my brain was stuck in the same spot. Congrats on hitting a niche few have described well.

[@ivanairy]

Lyrics: It's a fragile state of mind Like I'm losing sense of time And the world is moving on, while I am left behind It's a never-ending wait For a sign to change my fate Like I'll never reach the end of this forsaken chase So don't tell me there's no- no reason why There's no- no finish line No journey I'll enjoy along the way My feet stuck in the sand My heart left in my hand These symptoms taking hold won't go away They said that I'm a classic headcase Diagnosed with terminal velocity Just can't escape 'Cause I'm uninsured I'm a classic headcase A victim of the world's relentless apathy Bound to my fate And I can't be cured It's the stars I don't wish on (Wish on) It's the way I don't move on (Move on) And the constant thought, that one day we will all be gone It's the fleetingness of life Burning time and wasting nights Like I'm balanced on the edge, then plunging from the heights So don't tell me there's no- no reason why There's no- no finish line No journey I'll enjoy along the way My feet stuck in the sand My heart left in my hand These symptoms taking hold won't go away They said that I'm a classic headcase Diagnosed with terminal velocity Just can't escape 'Cause I'm uninsured I'm a classic headcase A victim of the world's relentless apathy Bound to my fate And I can't be cured And, oh, I'm running in the same place Going nowhere too fast (Oh, ooh, woah) And, oh, I'm burning 'neath the surface (Oh) And I know this won't last They said that I'm a classic headcase Diagnosed with terminal velocity Just can't escape 'Cause I'm uninsured I'm a classic headcase (Classic headcase) A victim of the world's relentless apathy Bound to my fate And I can't be cured

[@codycombs8590]

This came out at the right time for me. I was scared of death, my usual, monthly occurrence and while panicking for the future, found this. It felt like someone else understands what I'm going through. Not just parents being parents, someone else who may live thousands of miles away from me, understands. I remember watching your music videos since the grand ol days of Dream SMP. And I keep making time to watch every new M/V that comes out because I know you are one of the greatest musicians I've ever seen. Please keep doing what you love. And on this stage we call Earth, let your performances have a lasting effect on this community. Thank you Derivakat.

[@soupsysoup]

this hits different when you have a fear of growing and you have ADHD, always somewhat stuck in ur head

[@Elise005]

SAME. Everyone I know keeps telling me to get with the program, to start taking responsibility and initiative (I'm trying so hard, I promise) BUT IT'S DIFFICULT. (Should I just start sucking it up??) ADHD is such a problem too - I'm almost constantly dreaming of other things and then consequently angering whoever was trying to give me instructions. 🤝 Sorry I'm trying to say I definitely understand and if you want a hug I can give.

[@soupsysoup]

@@Elise005 nah, ur fine, no need to apologize

[@Technoblade_never_d13s]

It does! I have ADHD too its always stuck in head, overall it's just a really comforting song for me.

As someone who struggles with trying to find personal growth, this song hit harder than I thought it would... Thank you Derivakat, for another banger of a song!

Derivakat genuinely never misses with a song! Have loved every song in the Anger archives so far!!!

[@starcraftgem]

They just can't stop creating masterpieces.

[@aquaticbean]

what an incredible song. this has been my favourite on the archive for a while now, and i only just found out today that is has a music video???? anyways the visuals are fckn perfect, and the line "victim of the world's relentless apathy" will never cease to be genius. and the backing sound being so perfectly constructed just generally? god i love this song an unhealthy amount. derivakat never fails to disappoint fr

[@evxrbee]

Headcase is probably my favorite song in the Anger Archive! The animation is Epic, I especially love the scene going by in the train windows, it looks super cool!

[@TsukiKage21]

I'm really bad at writing songs that flow and make sense and tell the story that I want to sing. But a lot of the songs you've made speak out my thoughts for me. I'm really grateful. Thank you for all you do. ♥

[@brodyalbert9214]

Here before the mv drops. Seeing nobody else in the comments is a little sad but, I'm here to hype it up. This song and this Archive have resonated with me so much. I cannot wait to see the rest oft he journey Derivakat takes us on. It has been an honor. Edit: I couldn't make the premiere but here I am now and I just love this video. I can relate to the whole archive and I cannot wait to hear the next archive. But the animation is so cool, the glitches, the background changing from cloudy sky to red chaotic feel to the fantasy look it's just too good. Thank you Derivakat and team, thank you.

[@ancorealm]

This song is honestly such a good expression of the feelings lockdown and time passing leave behind, it’s this ouroboros of wanting to move forward while also being stuck in the doorway where you remember being trapped for song. I felt emotional listening to these lyrics for the first time. Thank you for this entire series; they all nail perfectly experiences that are so hard to describe, and I can tell I’m not the only one who feels seen by your music. Amazing work 🎉

[@RowanFallsGames]

Sometimes a song just hits you and by the first chorus youre already adding it to multiple playlists. This song is so good and hits me hard. Amazing as always, Derivikat. Youre a master of your craft

[@sassaetcie2925]

As someone who has been burning herself out with studies (finally done) and has been looking for work for 3 months and hasn't been able to enjoy happy events that happened to her this year and last year, I relate to that on a visceral level haha.

[@Nami-wm2dx]

Another wonderful song, Derivakat is truly letting all the genres shine with her voice. Some of your songs really hit me hard with their themes and the words carefully picked, they feel like an embrace, a soft whisper of being lost and cursed by similar thoughts and experiences, not really knowing where's the exit from this madness nor how to find a better way to go about it, but at least knowing you're not alone. Keep going, you're doing amazing! Congratulations on your first EP, it sounds absolutely amazing. Shoutout to all the artists working on the videos, they're mesmerizing to look at, so much it always feels like I need to rewatch the MVs thrice: once for the first impact of the song, one for the lyrics, and one for the video itself.

[@laggermatrix706]
