It’s insane that they didn’t mention how they brought back the melody from pain 1 and pain 2 in the end. That’s literally the best part of this whole trilogy.

[@heavymetal.outdoor]

I was searching for a comment and a person who mentioned just that!

[@Treyvlog]

i only heard a refrain from part 2, wheres the refrain from part 1?

This whole trilogy broke me at various times, but THAT part alone really broke me! I actually read the lyrics before listening to it, and saw that was the ending??? I’m like, oh no, this is going to hit hard emotionally. And it did.

[@biggaines2863]

Guys guys..Guys... the whole album is a story... here's how Will broke down the story and lyrical them for each song on the album... taken from Apple music. (SPOILERS) When Lorna Shore brought in Will Ramos to replace their previous vocalist in 2020, he had his work cut out for him. The New Jersey deathcore crew already had three albums and three EPs under their collective belt-not to mention a significant fanbase. Ramos made his studio debut with the band on their 2021 EP, …And I Return to Nothingness. “Writing the EP, I overthought the crap out of everything,” he tells Apple Music. “I had a million different ideas but wasn’t sure what to do. In the end, the band was like, ‘Do whatever feels most comfortable.’” Their advice paid off when the EP’s “To the Hellfire” went viral. So, Ramos trusted his instincts when it came time to write lyrics for Pain Remains. “I wanted to write an adventure that starts with the first song and ends almost back at the beginning with the last song,” he explains. Inspired by some of his favorite anime and manga, Pain Remains is a concept album that takes place in a dreamworld created by someone who wants to escape their reality. “A lot of deathcore albums are about anger and ‘fuck this, fuck that’-very monotone,” Ramos notes. “I wanted to do something that creates an emotion that, maybe, you haven’t felt in a long time.” Below, he discusses each track. “Welcome Back, O’ Sleeping Dreamer” “There’s a narrator explaining the potential of dreams and lucidity, the opportunity for exploration of the infinite, and a deeper dive into the human psyche. The whole song is about falling into this place that feels familiar, but it’s somehow not familiar at the same time. It’s a concept album, so this is the first chapter.” “Into the Earth” “This is where the character starts to realize that they’re lucid dreaming-and they’re able to control almost all of this world that’s around them. In the first song, they’re falling into place. In this one, they’re becoming aware of their abilities. Lucid dreaming-becoming aware of dreaming during the dream-is one of the hardest things to do. Usually, when you do that, you wake up immediately. But this person is realizing they can manipulate their dreamworld.” “Sun//Eater” “In this one, the character starts to realize that they’re almost like a god. When you start to lucid-dream, you become the god of your dreams. You can control everything. The chorus talks about being omnipotent: ‘I am the one/Icarus/I’ll touch the sun,’ whereas Icarus could not touch the sun. He tried so hard. In this song, the person is saying, ‘These are the things I’m going to do.’ It’s optimism. ‘I want to create. This is where I’m at.’” “Cursed to Die” “In this song, the character is fully immersed in a dreamlike state. After realizing that they’re a god in the last song, now the person who controls this dream universe ends up making people in his own image, so he’s not alone in this world. He’s creating man, essentially, from his memories. He’s basically just trying to fill a void inside that can’t be filled. At this point, he starts second-guessing everything. ‘Did I do this for fulfillment? Am I feeling fulfilled?’ He’s not exactly sure. But he’s learning that reality is whatever you make it to be.” “Soulless Existence” “This is where the main character, who has become the god of his own world, starts to realize that there is no point. ‘I’ve done all this shit, and I’m still not happy.’ His emptiness is filling up this world. He himself is nothingness. He’s lost his purpose. He’s found no significance in himself or anything that he has created. He’s lost. He starts to feel like he’s in an endless, almost inescapable purgatory. The lyrics are basically saying he’s in a place where nobody could ever find him.” “Apotheosis” “The character starts to see something in the distance that gives him a glimpse of hope. It may be a person or a thing, but he sees the light at the end of the tunnel. He’s like, ‘This is going to be fine. Everything is going to work out.’” “Wrath” “When we were putting the album together, this one got moved around. ‘Wrath’ was supposed to be before ‘Apotheosis’ in the story, but the songs flowed better sonically this way. The song is about being pissed and wanting to destroy everything. He’s basically at the point where he wants to see the world he’s created go down in flames. But, like I said, this was supposed to be before he finds any glimpse of hope. So, the story is a little jumbled here.” “Pain Remains I: Dancing Like Flames” “I used to have dreams where I would have this fantastic relationship with somebody, and I can’t even tell who this person is at all because that’s how dreams are. Unfortunately, you can’t make out a lot of things-dreams are so vague. But in your mind, it makes sense. You’re falling in love, and then you’ll wake up from the dream and be like, ‘Shit, that never really happened at all. This sucks.’ In the story, the character has a moment like this. They begin to love in their dreams, which returns meaning to their dreamworld. But they can’t quite find solace.” “Pain Remains II: After All I’ve Done, I’ll Disappear” “He’s beginning to realize that, after everything, he’s at the end of this whole world he made. It’s all a ghost in the breeze, like fading memories. He wants to disappear, to escape from this dreamworld.” “Pain Remains III: In a Sea of Fire” “This is the conclusion, but it’s also the part where he is most angry. He’s at the bottom of the barrel and desperate. The world he made, he’s going to burn it all down and disappear. He’s ready to go back to wherever it was that he came from. It’s the idea that God has left us and the world he made. He’s bored, he’s sad, and nothing he’s done has brought him any purpose. So, he leaves the world and goes back to the reality he came from. The ending is a bittersweet tragedy.”

Finally someone explained the whole of it. Thank you for this! Can you link the interview/article or smthin?

[@MetalRock92]

When love is gone, you went through grief, rage and sorrow. Nothing remains but pain, when the one you lived for isn't there anymore, what is there to live for? This trilogy is a true masterpiece in every meaning of the word. Album of the year for me and a genre changing manifest.

[@yrrtum]

I lost my wife to a brain aneurism. This trilogy made me go through a rollercoaster of feelings. The thought process behind this is so on point. It's been over 5 years now and i'm proud to say that i managed to not get to the end of part 2. I'm still here, still trying, often struggeling but never giving up. I'm not good with words, so im thankfull for Lorna Shore to express many of my feelings in such great songs. Also Wintersun - Time, Wintersun - Loneliness, Battlebeast - Let it roar and so many more that have beatiful ways of describing painful memories and help cope with them. Thanks for your reaction, that shows that you care for peoples feelings. You do a great job.

[@andrewwiggins7763]

My condolences... May what ever God you believe in take care you during hard times.. we can only carry on one day at a time...

[@user-pt7op6en5r]

we lived someone else's life in this trilogy. this genre will never be the same after the release of the album. All the songs from there are great. most likely they will no longer shoot videos for other songs from there, which is a pity. I will say one thing - Lorna Shore is a genius. thanks and take care

[@MatandChelsReact]

They are working on a video for Welcome Back, Oh Sleeping Dreamer so that’s the only one we will wait on for that.

[@williamsummerson1204]

@@MatandChelsReact they are?? damn i'm so excited now lol

[@TheFlagnard2]

One thing I love about this trilogy is that it has shown people who don't listen to metal, that metal is a great conduit to portraying emotion.

[@SunRayz3r]

The part that absolutely wrecked me was right after the breakdown, the orchestral instrumentation of part 1 & 2. Then the ending lyrics: “dancing like flames, after all that I’ve done, I’ll salt the earth and disappear in a sea of fire.” 😢 This trilogy (as well as the album) is going to go down in history! Once you understand the context with these three songs and how it plays into the story of this concept album, it adds more weight. ❤️🤘🏻👌🏻😢

[@Heroo01]

I love the absolutely palpable dread in the intro to this song. You can just _feel_ the world crumbling around him. So good.

[@adivinesurvivor2506]

“This is my epilogue, my soliloquy Take this broken melody straight to the grave Dancing like flames After all that I've done I'll salt the earth and disappear in a sea of fire” This whole trilogy has been a ride, a roller coaster of emotions. But man, the last 3 minutes of the song, especially with the music video, is so full of emotion I honestly still can't get through it without crying. Shit I listen to it every day since it came out. Man, Lorna shore killed it. This was such a perfect end to such a beautiful trilogy, easily some of the best music I have ever listened to. Props to the actors and video producers and Lorna Shore for this masterpiece. Fuck, man. Stay awesome Mat and Chels, love y'all. 💙

[@Maggot_infestedd]

That part also makes me cry.

[@scarfacefan19]

The crazy thing is the emotion isn't lost with no visuals. You feel it through the music. I have it blasting in my car sobbing. This is why i love music. The feeling it can give you can be euphoric and so very sad.

[@doomgod4622]

matts reactions are so genuine i cant wait!

[@underoaths777]

This video was done so well, just the subtleness of the contrast difference between what was a memory and where he passed and was reunited with his wife. Can not credit the band, actors and producers enough, this was a brilliant trilogy, Would love to see a 20 minute video with all the songs and all the videos running one after another, it’s be like a mini movie. Keen for the rest of the album reactions.. opening song is huge!

Great Reaction!! The trilogy is an extraordinary, beautiful, emotional Masterpiece of sadness, pain, love and anger ... it hurts so much and in the same time i can´t stop hearing all three songs.

[@joesaragnese6842]

The trilogy is amazingly beautiful from the emotional lyrics to the breakdowns the solos just hits you and brings you along for the ride of pain,love,and anger

[@shirazzza]

The guitars in this is so haunting. And how it comes around back to the starting melody. The actors in this, that guy just nails the empty feeling that you get when someone dies. Time for a cuppa, my weighted blanket, a couple of cats & something ridiculous to watch.

[@Disasterpiece7_]

You guys said it perfectly. There are really no words to put just want these guys have done to put it in perspective. Bringing people together through music is a powerful thing! Liked and subscribed! 🖤 Edit: the part that wrecks me is when she says, "I love you" and Will takes that big deep breath in.. And he lights the flame. Chills and tears every single time.

[@MatandChelsReact]

Thank you for the sub!

[@kefkaspawn79]

I was waiting for this reaction from you guys. The whole album is an absolute fucking masterpiece !!! The whole band is so talented, but I think Will joining was the missing piece that they needed to really hit their full potential.

Wish I would've been into LS a year ago for this. "Dancing like flames, after all I've done. I'll salt the earth and disappear, in a sea of flame" Genius song writing to combine all three song titles into one statement.

This song has only one thing to say. Love the person next to you very much and notice the person who loses someone.. and help them.. Lorna shore is moving something huge with this song

[@kendallstephens1735]

This one by far made me this most emotional out of the trilogy so amazing and I love that a metal band did that

The whole trilogy is the most intense lovesong i`d ever heard in my fucking life......what a masterpiece of brutal romatic blackenend deathcore🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@beardandbelly6003]

I think this trilogy is great! Since English is not my mother tongue, I only understand fragments of Deathcore Bands like Lorna Shore. But I've read the lyrics, so I know what's meant. That's great art and the theme of pain and inner turmoil actually goes very well with music of this kind. Nevertheless, we humans are a strange people. I mean when pain and suffering is portrayed artistically, in music or in a film, we tend to be very moved by it. Although it is fictional. But if we watch the daily news, see pictures of war, terror, hunger, oppression and all the daily shit we do our laundry, order food or clean the table. Although it's real and happening now, it doesn't have the clout of an artistic approach to the subject. I don't know if that's sick or necessary or if we hide it out of fear... maybe it's our protection too. It's amazing in a sad way. Thank you both for this great video, it was very good as always 👍

[@TheOn11one]

It was a trilogy full of emotions

[@smokemup1925]

Its cool how they made 3 elements to go with the emotions to. Rain, snow, and fire. I guess 2024 has needed will Ramos to send us all a message. Cause I know we've all been through shet these past years since covid and before. Much love loved the reactions. Oh and also check out there lyric video as well they have all 3 parts in one video with lyrics. I watch it all the time now my favorite songs of all time cheers 🔥🔥🔥🤟🤟❤️❤️

If you want more meaning out of the album, because the album has a lore a part from the videos of the trilogy, the 3 videos is one story and the album is another in full. If you want more meaning, read the apple music page of the album, Will goes in depth on the songs and what the lyrics mean. Having lost so much, I also wanted to set my life ablaze and dissapear but somehow I am still here, no mom, no dad, my brother lives 10 hours away and I witness my step bro attempt suicide in my own house.. I have seen so much and I just want rest but hey, life wont let me so fuck it..
