nice

[@Snakeybus]

would love to see some scatterbrained merch, also my comment removed your heart after I edited it to include an entire paragraph of elaboration on the symbolism and themes of this video.

why do I get the overwhelming sense that justan oval is a child of cyriak and bill wurtz. It's beautiful.

[@Jefferyawesomedude]

This video In particular is brimming with cyriak energy.

[@glass6582]

even the music sounds reminiscent of cyriak

I like how the mechanical thudding sound is synced to the scythe on the left side of the man’s head and only plays on the left headphone if you wear them.

[@dantesdiscoinfernolol]

As someone who has had several times in the past months where I haven't had words to describe how restless and useless and immobile I felt besides things like "I want to climb the walls" and "I want to explode. For enrichment purposes." This is a pretty good representation of how it feels sometimes.

[@godofportal5905]

man i hate it when i suddenly become 50% mechanical in the morning

[@dantesdiscoinfernolol]

​@@OriQinzzi or a technologic parasite

[@KittyGamer5135]

I think it'd work better as the final boss for a non horror game, because then it'd pack more of a punch and be more memorable because it would stand out so much from the rest of the game. What do you think?

[@Snakeybus]

freaky, disturbing, interesting, and somewhat relatable LOVE IT edit: I want to elaborate more on why this video is good on my 5th rewatch, The way the mechanics in the brain and body play into the music in creative ways is beautiful. And all of it contributes to this videos central theme of anxiety and panic attacks. The scythe hammer thing constantly banging into the skull representative of the indescribable feeling of almost being beaten internally, all of the thought's running through your head, screaming over eachother with no sign of stopping, this is also representative of the gears in the body and head (someone in the replies helped me further understand this @RosieGoldie85), The gears in the head relating to the aforementioned thoughts running through the head, with no sign of stopping feeling somewhat autonomous. Whilst the gears in the body relate to the autonomous feeling in your body as your having a panic attack, the heart beating, heavy breathing, as @RosieGoldie85 puts it "The gears of panic are in motion and they refuse to cease". As for the intermission, this somewhat relates to that feeling of getting yourself together during a panic attack, feeling distraught and stressed, before the second wave comes in full force, I love this video, and I would love to see more like it.

[@AGHFHFSJHSSHMYHEADD]

REALLL

[@Red_demon-hv7si]

RELATABLE????? YOU HAVE GEARS INSIDE YOUR CHEST AND IRON PARTS AND SCREENS COMING OUT OF YOUR HEAD???

kinda reminded me of ADHD, anxiety, and panic attacks in a way don't exactly know what the gears in the body are supposed to represent though.

[@lolliii5477]

yes

[@RosieGoldie85]

​@@Snakeybus I feel the same, as for the gears, often when Im having a panic attack it feels like the panic is some sort of unstoppable machine marching onward and slowly building up the intensity. The gears of panic are in motion and they refuse to cease
