An excellent reminder to find your own rhythm in life - no one else is going to find that rhythm for you.

[@bradhaines3142]

living your life your own way is a level of peace thats hard to explain. right there with having savings in the bank, it takes so much off your shoulders compared to paycheck to paycheck.

[@counter_coffee767]

After watching it a couple times, my takeaway of the meaning is that cutting off toxic friendships can be healthy for you, but don't hurt your good friends in the process. Take the good friends, cut out the bad ones, and build yourself a new, better circle. Great song!

[@imaguyhello5457]

not some satanic ritual ? i am so confused u got all that from that ? :v

[@counter_coffee767]

@@imaguyhello5457 It starts out with a group of friends getting together, as each get hunted (cut from the friend group) the pot of flowers (either representing the main girl's mental health or her ability to be herself) grows bigger, more healthy. At the end she tries to cut out the last girl from her friend group, the flowers don't grow. She was one of the good ones, and when they make up they start anew, a rebirth ( 2:52 ) of the friend circle with the bad trimmed away.

Well, if SIAMÉS themselves fixed this comment, then it's gotta be that. Well done analysis!

[@mastermostfa]

Great message for kids and people still growing mentally. Learn to live life the way you find it most comfortable and rewarding. There is no need to be like other people or share the people around you's interest or habits or force yourself to like them. My personal advice too is to keep exploring new habits and hobbies to get experience and know what really is your preferred way of living your life ( don't just do whatever you found others doing, explore more into yourself)

[@leonardoeneria3100]

This would've helped years ago, but alas, I've no other options than a way of life now. To not be like me heed those words and just be yourself.

[@ryleeguy2763]

Honestly, I think it is a really big issue in the life today. Because most people do not really use this for a good reason, and are mainly using it to avoid rifle criticism. Someone tries to be there for them and give them a bit of advice and they act like that person is being toxic so cut them out of their life. Usually the person cutting the other person out is the one who did something bad or just necessarily could use some insight. It’s like they make an issue themselves and then distance themselves from the person so that they can’t get told what is wrong like a f**king child. I believe that there are sever moments where this is ok. But the irony is someone that gave you a different opinion because they are different as well pissed you off. So you cut them off for being what you want to be. It started an unhealthy habit in our society.

[@mastermostfa]

@@ryleeguy2763 very good point to bring up. Young people sometimes hear this advice and think "i can do whatever i want", which is not always true and can often be destructive to yourself. They need to have a vision for the future and a sense of responsibility that every action they have will have an impact on their future in one way or another. If a young one gets lost in doing things he please and not have a sense of responsibility or a vision for his future, he can turn out way worse than someone whos living life a good but not their lifestyle kind of way. This is why proper parenting and and guidance is crucial. They need to be able to hear their children out, understand their child is a human with the right to live the way they want (not the way parents envision for them), balance satisfying the childs dreams and aspirations while looking out for their future, constantly teach them and try to install a sense of responsibility in them in the right kind way when theyre at teenager age. Countless parents have problems in any of these steps, ultimately not guiding the child to the best life they couldve had. It is such an unfortunate thing but thankfully now the child can be exposed to all these advice on the internet if they pay attention and open their hearts to it

[@fffffplayer1]

I won't pretend I understand what is going on fully, but here are some interesting things I caught: The protagonist is a new initiate to whatever group the blonde and the braided girl make up of/are part of. The other two girls, though, don't seem to be initiated since they don't have the characteristic makeup or nail polish and appear to be wearing more casual/less fashionable clothing. Instead, they seem to be intended as the prey for the hunt from the beginning. Since they appear friendly towards the other characters (and actually cheerful rather than the ominous emotionless expressions of the other girls), they're probably friends with the other girls, likely they could be the old friends of the protagonist before she got into the new group. Pay attention to rings and nail polish colour. The blonde girl has two rings, one in each hand, the protagonist has a single ring on her index finger. Protag has lilac nails, blonde has yellow and braided girl has blue. You can use these to figure out whose hands are whose. I'm not sure if it's an art error or intentional, but when we see the protagonist slash the white-yellow-shirt girl, she strikes at her left, but then we see her body wounded at the right. Also, in the strike shot, he shirt appears blue, so that was confusing for me, but the yellow parts are distinctly there. There seems to be some symbolism to eyes, possibly related to the cult, and we see at some point the protagonist retrieving her dagger from a carving of an eye, possibly hinting she was from the start going to go against the cult. The photos at the end are not photos of the dead girls, but of the previous leaders. There's one of the blond girl and one of a long-hair girl that's not similar to any of the characters we've seen. There's also a shady figure one. All three have the locket though. There seems to be some meaning to the sheer shirts being worn by various girls. The protagonist has one, the blond girl has one, and the new girl at the end has one. Edit: Also, if anyone is wondering when the protagonist got the dagger from the braided girl like I was, you can see at 2:51 there were actually two daggers, so she had her own all along. To try to get a conclusion out of this, and working on top of what counter_coffee already pointed out: I think the surface story is about some sort of high school murder cult, wherein initiates hunt other girls upon initiation. But the allegory below that seems to speak about the protagonist joining a circle of "cool girls" and the trouble that brings. Her old friends while cheerful and apparently welcome at first are eventually scared by the new friend. In the process, the old friends are hurt by the new and even the protagonist herself hurts them and drives them away. In the end, the protagonist listens to the doubts she's always had (lyrics seems to indicate some frustration towards the cool girls' advice and _their_ way; we also see instances through the clip where she's not completely bought into the whole thing) and turns on the leader of her new friend group. The other friend, who is probably more of a follower, lashes out at her at first, but when she witnesses the inner strength the now confident protagonist exudes, she changes her mind and is able to redeem herself as well. The two stay together and they can experience rebirth as they can expand their now healthier friend group with new people. That is of course if we don't use a cyclical reading of the story, wherein the protagonist replaces the blond girl, the new girl at the end becomes the new initiate and the whole story repeats. As for the animals showing up throughout. Other than strengthening the hunt metaphor, I have no idea what they're supposed to be about.

[@zylo202]

The animals represent the girls. The rabbits are the two girls who get sacrificed. The Deer is the blond leader and seem to also represent the current leader of the coven. The Hound is the protag. The hound attacks the deer at confrontation, foreshadowing what is about to happen. The hound and deer merge at the end and then there is a new deer which is now the protagonist. The other cultist sees the new deer and hands her the necklace, submitting to the new coven leader.

[@Jnihil00]

I think the most useful lens is to understand this is an Artemis cult, the entire video is littered with iconography and symbols of the goddess of the hunt. The first clue is the statue, the huntress with a hind, or what you call a deer. The hind is a sacred animal of Artemis, often depicted as the huntress. Another key is that all characters are young, implied pure, girls. Artemis is known as the virgin goddess because she rejected men and masculinity, she only accepted female acolytes and priests. Additionally, Artemis is the counterpart to her twin, Apollo, and as his counterpart, she is the goddess of the Moon. This is even more important, because the Moon is a symbol of immortality and rebirth, the Moon "dies" when it is a new moon phase, and is reborn in a full moon phase. Finally, of course, as I mentioned Artemis is the goddess of the hunt, and as a ritual the girls hunt each other. With this lens, there is no struggle for power. The head priestess had hunted the head priestess prior to her, we see this in the photo towards the end, signified by each head priestess wearing the amber amulet. We also know that she has been reborn after her sacrifice, it's not a coincidence that the final girl / initiate is also a blonde. This also ties into a theme of becoming and unbecoming. Our way will lead to a new us, an unbecoming, but we are reborn and become ourselves anew.

[@wesleymiranda6253]

​@@Jnihil00 Magnífico

[@damnbagobricks]

It's a cycle of rebirth. There are flashes of the leader before the blond girl early just after the finger bleeds from the cuticle being pricked. Flashes of her and the blond girl. She has a single blue earring just like one of the two girls that gets hunted. The protag seems to recognize this earring and leans in to inspect it as if they had a similar one in a previous life. The new initiate at the end happens to be a blond girl. It's a cycle of the blond girl killing the dark haired girl, who is then spiritually reborn and comes to kill the blond girl who is then spiritually reborn and comes to kill the dark haired girl, who is then etc. etc. etc.

[@mementomori4580]

There’s something with jewelry in general, there’s a focus on earrings too, one girl has a blue earring in her right ear that the protagonist took a liking to, and is seen wearing it in the quick image of her face with blood on it in the first half of video , and when the braided girl tackles her own victim, the victim has a shiny golden hoop earring shown, and when her head is shown on the ground, that ear lobe is ripped and bloodied, and the earring is missing

[@Jnihil00]

This is such an amazing video, it has deep and rich themes. A lot of people mention Ghibli/Mononoke vibes, which I think is close - but it misses the obvious Artemis references. It isn't coincidental that all the characters are girls, after all Artemis was a virgin and appreciated feminine beauty. It's also why the central conflict is a ritualistic hunt, because the goddess of the Moon is the goddess of the hunt. And just like the Moon has its phases of death and rebirth, these girls experience it through ritual too.

[@kristianskiy1282]

For me, this video is about how your old wounds bring you pain, and you need to finally let them go, but at the same time, remember them and, in a way, pay tribute for the experience they brought you.

[@sodapop3553]

Having watched through this multiple times, I think what I get from this is a message to always listen to yourself above all else. Don't blindly follow the orders and will of someone who says they have your best interest but ends up only wishing to mold you into the version of yourself THEY want to see. It can lead to turning into a person you don't recognize anymore, putting you in a situation where you end up hurting the ones around you until you cut yourself off from the source, though you're still in danger of continuing the cycle afterward unless someone (or yourself) puts a stop to it. But also being able to recognize that, deal with all the pain and difficulties and move on with those who truly cared about you.

[@Leunenkoenig]

The nails are some interesting identifying cues: Bob (I'm just going to call some of the characters by their hair) starts with unpainted nails. Pig-tails has violet nails throughout the video. Blondie has red nails. During the initial grooming, PT injures Bob, who goes on to also have violet nail polish for the rest of the story. Next up, we see scenes from the future: - Right after the kill, with Bob wearing one blue earring - PT grabbing Bob's hand as she reaches for the medallion - PT painting Bob's nails again, (Bob has a snake ring on her left index) - Bob getting stabbed in the arm Back in the present, Bob refuses further grooming by PT, as their future prey arrives. Their appearance is in stark contrast to the meticulous getup of the coven. During the picnic, there's a peculiar moment of Blondie sharing the wine with the outsiders. This is followed not only by the realization, that they are the main course, but also a shot of the blue earring Bob is supposedly going to wear in the future. The girl, notedly, is wearing only a single earring. The hunt begins and PT catches her prey before we get a flashback of Bob spying on Blondie during the preparations. She goes on to follow her prey, though you see a certain half-heartedness in her. The next shot is quite weird again, like an out-of-frame movie recording. There's a flash of eyes in the mirror, although it passes quickly. Next up is a flashback of Bob eyeing the blue earring during the picnic. She goes on to kill her prey with her hand - or to be precise, her manicured "talons". PT butchering the other girl. Flashback of Bob picking up the knife on her dresser. Bob has little regard for the dead girl, from whose blood lotuses bloom - a symbol of purity, for what it's worth. The shot of her victim is noteworthy in that it cuts off right below the ear, so you can't see if she has the earring. She leaves and is seen by PT. The "confrontation" happens but before she meets Blondie, we get a shot of Bob's victim - who still has the earring. Bob refused the trophy. PT's victim, on the other hand, has had the golden loop earring ripped from her ear. Bob extends her arms as if to embrace, hiding the as-of-yet-unused dagger in her hand. Flashes of cryptic images (you can use, and . on the keyboard to go frame by frame): - Blondie bleeding from the back in front of the two-headed deer - Bob, with one hand severed, petting the doe drinking blood spilled by the blade - PT, with the buck next to her, reaching for the tainted blade in front of an image of the two-headed deer being separated again Bob goes on to stab Blondie in the back who in turn dissolves into a fray of hair. It looks, for a moment, like PT understands that she has chosen victory over lesser prey. Bob reaches for the medallion, her trophy, as buck and doe entwine. The incense on her dresser has burned out and the flower in her mirror blooms. PT severs Bob's hand as she reaches for the medallion. Magic stuff happens, the buckdoe twists, and it seems like the buckdoe spirit enters her stump through the magic. A scar remains, but the hand is remade. In the background, we see a wisened buck with larger antlers. PT, witness to all that, presents Bob with the medallion - her rightful prize - over the weird blue flower I don't recognize. Bob and PT light incense at the dresser and we finally see the picture on the dresser was the previous owner of the medallion before Blondie. In the corner of the frame, a photo of the owner before that. Now, a new frame graces the dresser: Blondie. We can also see that they went back to the blue earring and took it still. "Waste not, want not", I guess. There's also a purple bug earring, which I'm fairly sure I saw in a previous music video. A blonde girl, wearing a choker like Blondie and a see-through blouse like both Blondie and Bob, is ringing at the same door Bob stood in front of at the beginning of the story, followed by the title card "Rebirth", indicating her to be the part in the circle.

[@Leunenkoenig]

My interpretation: There's strong indication that Bob was always going to ursurp Blondie. The ring on her hand looks like a snake, and the future scenes in the beginning contain two different versions of Bob taking Blondie's medallion - neither of which would end up happening. Bob also didn't take the earring. These alternate versions showed possible events and even in those, Blondie bit the dust either way. Bob also eyed Blondie even before the hunt. Taking this into consideration, the song finally makes sense. This is "my way" - I do not follow the rules of the coven's hunt, and by not following the rules, I become part of the coven myself. I am better by being the better of those who came before me. The doe that follows the buck, became the buck that would lead the flock, taking charge of their life. Honestly, it's so simple, but also such a creative way to present this!

In the autel we can see a few interesting details : -The pictures of the former leader of this sect, with the necklace. Each one were killed by a member of the trio who then become the new leader. It's a never ending cycle. -The jewellery of the sacrifices who were killed in the forest for the ritual. It is why there is such a focus on the two victims earings. I think each leader's conciousness fuses with the killer, creating somewhat of an hive mind with dark powers. After stabbing the former leader, the new one get her hand cut of by the third member, and it grows back, showing that the spirit of the former leader still reside in her. Other interesting detail, the blonde girl (former leader) wears long sleves, so we can't see the scars on her hand. But she must have done the same ritual. This is a cycle. At each ritual, two victims are killed, one member of the trio gives her position as a leader. At the end, a new recruit join the sect as it takes three person to complete the ritual.

[@TinkaDreamChaser]

I feel like there is a lot about envy considering beauty in here. Our main girl, with the see-through shirt and hairclip, starts off with blond girl and the pigtail girl, who immediately begin fussing over her looks and giving her a make over. Everything pretty is sparkly (!) for emphasis. This includes the forest animals, which to me all have unicorn vibes. You know, the whole 'white and pure' stereotype. (The Canine is Main Girl, the Deer is Blondie, the Gazelle is Pigtails and the Casual girls are the rabbit(s), I think.) Also, I love the imagery of pushing back cuticles until they bleed, the whole 'no pain, no gain' motto. In the second part, main girl stops one of the girls from plucking her eyebrows as her (?) other friends show up, who wear what I see as casual clothes and also sit more casually on the picnic blanket. In the animal scene, a Rabbit shows up where the Gazelle and Deer are drinking, and with the perspective, the gleaming eye we see there is that of the rabbit, which is followed up by the gleam on Snake-Shirt's earring. She looks pretty worried here and Blondie starts to look very warped and scary. (This part made me thnk the Gazelle and Deer were the casual girls at first, though two dead rabbits show up in the title card and considering their fates, I assume the Rabbit was them. Meaning that maybe, Blondie felt threatened, like the casual girls might be envious of her?) Pigtails clearly is envious when she goes after the earring Green Sweater girl is wearing - which looks nice and glittery when they go down. Main girl does not seem to go after Snake-Shirt as intensely as Pigtails, but she is also appreciating (?) her earring - also glittery - though Snake-Shirt looks more like she is flattered. However, both casual friends are killed by Pigtails and Main Girl, but only Green Sweater had her earring torn out by Pigtails, who then turns her gaze to Main Girl. I love the title card for Confrontation, great foreshadowing! It has what I think is a canine going after a stags throat on it, and I think it's interesting that there is also a snake curled around the dagger above them, and the little hourglass in the corner. Gives me a feeling of: 'In time, they will turn on each other.' There are also those few very quick images, the first with Blondie looking at a mural of two merging creatures (later seen to be Canine/Main Girl and Stag/Blondie).The second, Main Girl and the canine (It is her, Blondies hands were 'showing off' both the canine and her the same way earlier), it's mouth dripping blood (the title card from before had her ripping out the deers throat) and her hand cut off, with a dagger below that looks as if she dropped it. The mural behind her is the same Blondie was looking at. Pigtails however, is reaching for a dagger in front of a mural depicting the Gazelle, which is also next to her, cutting off the Canine's paw with a dagger. The Stag is dead in a corner of the mural. Great foreshadowing for what happens next. Main Girl backstab Blondie, goes to grab her necklace to put on, which makes Pigtails cut that hand off. However, it regrows, presumably because Blondie is gone? And Blondie's necklace is passed on to Main Girl, which the photos on the table show seems to be tradition of sorts? And now there are two girls waiting for the Lamb/Bun Girl in the last shot to come to them to be prettied up, I guess? That's all I caught, sorry for the long comment, but it was a delicious analysis :D

Yippee!!!!!! We getting a MV for one of my favorite songs!

[@remochii]

I can't praise this MV enough. Each frame is an eye-candy and the animation is just chef's kiss.

[@MasterAndreRaven]

Well, is this yet another Siames video that will cause me to rethink my life and my childhood? Let's find out! EDIT: No. It did not cause me to rethink my life and my childhood. It definitely made me wish I'd spent more time studying Wicca as a child, though. So it's still getting a thumbs-up from me.

[@LegendInMotion]

I genuinely love the heavy witchcraft undertones this video has and the message it conveys of inner to outer transformation of the self. Usually when people talk about 'inner transformation' in regards to New Age philosophy, they typically underplay the whole experience needed to to process that change. Transformation of the self turbulance, and what you try to change inside will soon reflect on your outside in time.

This song helped me so much when I was deciding on what I wanted to study. People around mocked me daily and tried to change my choice to theirs, and at first it worked. But then I found this song, and it gave me the strength to endure them. Now a year later, I am more than happy with my choice living far away from all the negative people. 😊 Thank you for giving me the strenght to be true to myself❤

[@kindateia]

It seems like this animation follows one of my favorite kind of plots - a coven-like society that's more than meets the eye. After getting initiated, only then do newcomers go through the true rite of passage -- an event where they all hunt other people, and the strongest survive. As such, new people adopt old ways -- the way all girls in the coven started doing their make up the same, same eyshadow and brow shape. The main heroine chooses to kill the leader instead after commencing her first kill, thus instead of becoming one of her people she gets her powers as the leader (regrows her hand, for instance). Then in the end we see a new girl join the ranks, but instead of "initiation", the plaque spells "rebirth" -- the winner changed societys ways to how she does things. Also, in the beginning incense is burned in front of the small mirror -- as if to symbolise mourning old self heroine needs to give up to join the coven, and in the end incense is burned before photos of girls who died on the hunt, including the leader. You can say this way leaders murder wasn't really personal -- just what needed to be done to pave heroines own way.

[@therandomestmoe6258]

Amazing, beautiful, spectacular, out of this world, fantas-

[@Necrapocalypse]

Taking the lyrics into account, I would say this one is about the harm and pain from forging one's own path and making mistakes. Specifically that it all makes a stronger and more fulfilled person than being protected from any chance of harm or just following a path decided on and laid out by someone else. But why stop pretending you understand someone wanting to make their own mistakes? Well, my thought would be that if you admit to not understanding it actually opens up the ability to have a conversation and gain new wisdom and actual understanding instead of more vague platitudes like "I'll support whatever you do".

[@galavisartsoficialdm]

Barbie is the best voice always! 💗

[@deepstonecostco]

I find it so interesting that my takeway wasn't that she was cutting off a toxic friendship and standing up for herself, but that she was continuing a tradition of killing the leader of the coven (the imagery of the packhound becoming the stag which are commonly used as icons of kings and leaders) to become the leader herself while her own possible inheritor was hinted at the end, continuing the cycle of hunter/hunted

[@VirtualQuarkInterface]

That is what’s happening literally, I think the other comments are trying to break down the subtext. Cause yes that’s the actual set of events that are happening.

[@cal4906]

Even the music video is making me feel things about it. When you grow up unable to accept who you are, you kill yourself in many ways to become acceptable and fit in. But I'm able to shed that old skin and accept the way I was before knowing what I know now.

[@nox_lanius5947]

Ahh... I see now. Dibs on explaining the MV. So I believe This IS the main character's rebirth. Apart from the song's obvious meaning, this one is set in a more... unique way. But how? Its evident that it's her based on the baby deer and the fruit. Notice how in the Initiation pic 3 deers and one is giving the berries to the Baby Deer aka, Her. In the first scene, the main character ate those same white berries which foreshadows her Rebirth and what she will inherit, from the blonde girl. Who is possibly their senior member. This is also evident from the way they were combing her hair in a precious way 0:21. She could be the youngest of them so that's why. Another sign is the flower that they were trying to conjure? Idk if that's the right word. But anyways, I'll skip to the 2 girls. It seems that these girls were unwilling and unaware victims because one, they had no nail polishes. Two, If we jump to the picnic scene 0:58, we see that they're the only ones that drank the red wine (could indicate that it's the blood that they'll spill or maybe someone will decipher it other than me) but notice how none of the 3 girls were waiting for them to drink it in full. So when they did. The blonde girl stood and released the rabbit 🐇 which probably is their "go" sign to kill them. Idk about the eyes that were somewhere in the scene, but I'll skip to the girl who is marveling at the deer aka the main character. I believe this is her gesture to say "look how marvelous you've become." And she admired how she's probably going to run the next trio or something. The next picture shows Confrontation which is the baby deer killing the other. She kills the blonde and as she disappears, the main character's hand severs(?) Or gets cut off and seems like she's gonna vanish. Meanwhile the screen is showing the flower they were focusing on was now in full bloom in the mirror and two deers becoming one. As the main character's hand was blowing off blood and sparkles it reverted back like nothing happened. Except she has a mark which indicated where her hand was cut off. We see this too when we one formed deer with a scar on her limb. After wearing the necklace, the two girls had a blooming flower between them and it shows the next scene where they lit an incense of their former colleague with the necklace next to the other girl who also wore the same jewelry. Then an unfamiliar pig-tailed girl comes in and rings on the doorbell. Possibly being the next member of their coven and perhaps being the next Baby Deer as it shows in the Rebirth picture.

[@guineapig5858]

I relate to this song a lot from being bottom of the class because i couldnt learn much of the content teachers were teaching, it was too difficult so i started working backwards and teaching myself, ended up in top set by the end of secondary school and some teachers accusing me of cheating and trying to stop me learning the way i was. Because i had to use their methods for succsess not my own. Other kids called me dumb but in the end sticking it out my way was the best way forward.

[@martinparkbrodersen2341]

Whelp, that confusing, but it seems like the necklace is some kind of symbol of inheritance? Im still trying to piece together how it fit together with the song edit: ok maybe not inheritance, but fusion? The blonde disappears after getting killed, and the other blackhaired girl seem to accept our protagonist after seeing her hand regrow. there also the title at the end "rebirth". So either the blonde take over the girl, or they have merged together(supported by the animals merging together). the framed pictures at the end indicate this has happened a few times, with the necklace being the common denominator.
