To me, it’s the sound of a friend who died of metastatic breast cancer. Beautiful, tragic, ethereal, indescribable.

[@atomdecay]

Still fucking destroys me. I lost my potential budding family when my fiance decided to bring our neighbor into our home. Everything I have ever been completely fell apart that day. There is nothing left except an empty husk of emotions left unsaid, only the remnants of my dedication & pure unconditional love for her & our son. She made a fine shrine out of me. God this song is too much, I can't do this, can't I just listen one time without falling apart

[@carlandrews6241]

Awesome song indeed. A song so awesome I mention it in one of my novels and made "Fineshrine" the main theme for "Claire's Prayer" about a man who looks at life from purgatory after a car accident kills him. He was 19 years old and left a 35 year old fiancee who he dated in high school (he was 18 when the relationship started) and a baby he didn't know about before he died. He hangs out with a being who he thinks is his guide in purgatory but later to be revealed as God Himself. He gets sent back to earth, wiser and stronger, sent back to be with his true love and is there when his son is born on his 20th birthday. "Fineshrine" matched up with the nature of this novel perfectly and if it becomes a movie, I will ask Purity Ring to let me make this song the main theme to it.

[@ski102426]

Letterkenny 2019 YEW!

[@winryhater]

IDK, I always thought it was a song about abuse and destruction. She's willing to give herself up for destruction at the hands of the guy she's with("YOU build a fine shrine in ME", "cut open MY sternum"). The video is her dream, she views him as Broken and Damaged, and she needs to let him cut her open so she can protect him, even if she hurts herself in the process. She dreams of planes because she wants to escape, she dreams of causing him injury either because she wants to hurt him back(repressed rage) or because she blames herself for his pain. He's a statue because he's cold and hard and completely incapable of connecting to anyone or anything, but inside there's the injured boy again because she's having a hard time reconciling her mental image of him, what with the heavy psychological burden that physical abuse causes. In her eyes, to justify his behavior, he is simultaneously the weak, scared, injured little boy who needs her protection, and an uncaring statue, uncompromising and cruel. There's a silver metal-looking substance dripping like blood a few times, and I'd assume that was because she wanted to be stronger herself, she'd want to "steel herself", but for the statue it's more she wants to melt his "steely heart" so he can be kind. It ends with a shot of him, perfectly fine and wholly uninjured, and she has every injury he had in her dream. She projected her own injuries onto him, probably because she felt like it was her fault. I mean like IDK that's just what I got out of it.

The lyrics are about whatever you make them. It's subjective, like all art. This song is about the premature birth of my child , for me. No one can say that's wrong- because it means something different for everyone. It's silly to argue.

Timelessly beautiful, sweet simple; yet so sky n' earthmovingly grand

[@harambethegod6157]

none of my friends like this and I'm just like you don't know what true beauty is

Oct. 2014 Vanity Fair brought me here, Melanie Martinez, Hot Tracks, p. 142.: "This song gives me chills." Had to find it. Maybe the story is that the girl and her boyfriend were in an accident (small plane crash). She survived but he did not, although in her dream he is alive but bandaged. She builds a "shrine" to him within herself when she wakes to find that she is the one in bandages while he is gone. Anyone else read it this way?

There’s this teacher who I met through a afterschool club that I really resonated with. he recommended purity ring to me and now it’s my last semester I’ll be around him. I’m making sure not to overlisten to this song until it’s my last day. And now I’m gone. Didn’t even get to say bye to him.

This music video is so beautifully made. Every small detail is so thought through and intentional- the product is breathtaking.

[@terry6729]

Still here ten years later! For me, an official Back Bay anthem.

[@joeyromo9462]

Got high to this song once and never looked back

[@matthewgreen8845]

Same was high when it came on tv on a very.co.uk advert back in 2013

[@lmaonoyou465]

Listened to this while high and cried. I want to feel this way about someone. It's so intimate and beautiful, macabre lyrics aside. And even that has some sort of dark gorgeousness about it..

[@Halfstep2024]

Thank you letterkenny!

[@0sumzack611]

Hard yes.

[@busybee6889]

Umm...thank you purity ring I'd think

[@Halfstep2024]

@@busybee6889 No.. thank you letterkenny, cause if it weren’t for them I wouldn’t have a clue who the fuck purity ring is.

There was this one time where this song made me feel like it was day, when it was actually night, like it was easier to breath than it really was, but just in general, it made me feel almost as if I was younger than I really was, in a positive and refreshing, relaxing kind of way.

I love the ethereal sound and aesthetic, unique artist for sure.
