[@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.

I've been a fan of SIAMÉS for years now, and they continue to prove themselves quite capable and likable! This video gives off Princess Mononoke vibes, and the music reminds me that our pain is not forever, we can choose to be reborn after conflict and strife takes it's toll on us.

[@gabrielcross1062]

[@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

[@Deadly_Alive]

are we free to kill people to grow our power??? what the hell are you saying? How is this related to the video???

[@cfurrow2468]

The song is a good message, but the video, while amazing... don't join a murder cult.

[@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

[@kristianskiy_ch]

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.

[@miracleworker2334]

[@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!

[@AsrielofRose]

The Protag is actually a wolf, a wolf entwines with the buck. Or a dog.

[@Leunenkoenig]

@@AsrielofRose YOU'RE RIGHT! I only went by the head, but the feet and tail are distinctly non-cloven. That actually changes the meaning slightly. One can argue that the buck symbolizes "royalty" or "the one in power", while the wolf/dog is the "usurper". This would be in line with the buck remaining after the canine-fusion, as they are now the new "kings of the forest".

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.

I genuinely love the heavy witchcraft undertones this video has and the message it conveys of inner to outer transformation of the self.

Transformation of the self turbulance, and what you try to change inside will soon reflect on your outside in time.

[@IAmZeMedic]

Wow. Just, WOW! I am absolutely stunned by this video. The vibrant colors, the flowing art style, the hidden meanings and imagery. It has blown me away! Anyways, here's my detailed take on this video: - Opening clip, and there's a lot to look at. Seems like a young lady (who we are going to call Bret) is getting ready for some sort of night out or séance with her friends (Who I will call Fawn and The Matriarch), who are represented by white deer. Bret is also represented as such, we can tell by the "Initiation" placard (the deer in the middle; 0:05). We also see rabbits seeming to watch from afar (bottom of the "Initiation placard"). Were they her old friends? Are they new victims? - As we watch on, we see a fourth girl (Who I will call Lepus), running from the beginning three, 0:32. She and another girl (Who I will call Hare) are seen in plainer clothing, waving hello through a window, dressed less elegant than the others, 0:56. Initially, Lepus and Hare are welcomed into the (Coven? Cult? Friend group?) and are having a picnic with cake, wine, grapes, oranges/grapefruit, peaches, and even gelatin, 0:58. In that specific scene, The Matriarch (blond, long haired girl with yellow gem necklace and ring) is holding a rabbit, signifying that the girls have Lepus and Hare in her grasp. - It's too late. Lepus and Hare flee in realization that they are not welcomed, but lured into a trap, 1:11. The Matriarch orders the two to be eliminated. Lepus is caught by Bret and is dealt a gaping gash on her side, perhaps signifying that the deer form is a visage to mask something more sinister? Hare is also lifeless, who was caught by Fawn. We see with her head off. - As the Bret regrets what she has done, she goes to confront the Matriarch, 1:41 - 1:58 Three quick scenes are shown in quick succession depicting the Matriarch with a stabbed back viewing an image of two entwined deer (her prediction of usurpation?). Followed by the Bret having her hand cut off (seemingly the one who stabbed the Matriarch.) And lastly, the Fawn watching it all take place. - Bret eliminates the Matriarch and goes to pick up her necklace. The Twin Deer we see in this scene 2:16, starts to writhe and combine. Watching from afar, Fawn picks up a knife and cuts off Bret's hand. To Fawn's surprise, Bret's hand regrows back in a spew of blood and flower petals. Bret is now the New Matriarch as the smile on her face confirms it. Fawn hands Bret the necklace and puts it on 2:46 - They light a new incense on a table with pictures of past Matriarchs (we can also see an earring from "All The Best" in this scene! 2:52) Another girl knocks at the door and is let in, right after, a card is shown called "Rebirth". Perhaps this means finally breaking the cycle of oppression and leading into a new cycle of support. *Take note that through the scenes, flowers play a silent role. For instance at **0:09**, the flower (an Iris flower, I think??) in the bottom right hand corner is closed and seems wilted, symbolizing the toxic power The matriarch has held over the other members of the group. As the video goes on, Bret changes and so does the flower. It opens up at **2:19** and **2:54* Thanks for reading! Remember, this is just my take on it, it is NOT official!

[@kci8479]

I like it

[@sirdomasu8226]

I interpret it that way (Which means I do not try to find out the artists intention): The two girls that seem to care for the protagonist are actually the one that are toxic, or at least the blonde one. Even though they seem to care for each other, maybe be in love with each in other, they still might influence each other in a bad way. "The Initation" might symbolize the beautiful beginning of relationships. They put each others make up on, they are nice to each other. There are some frames where the "red-flags" are shown. Like 0:36 for example, where one (maybe accidentally) hurts the other one. "The Hunt" might mean, that the "new one" has to proof their worth in the group and ending up hurting someone innocent (I personally and surely many here know that feeling very well). It might also result in a loss of a another potential relationship outside the circle that will be lost forever. "The Confrontation" is the phase where one gets in conflict first with themselves, then the others. The thoughts one might be thinking are "Was it right what I am doing?", "It doesnt feel right.", "I dont want this.", "... What am I doing?" After that, the person confronts their relationship. They realize that the relationship is not healthy for them, so they cut it off. By doing that, they will end the time they shared with that person and maybe lose a part of themselves because they spend so many precious, highly valued time with them, that by killing off the relationship, they kill a part of themselves. You might have to find yourself again, find new meaning, find a life without that relationship. That feeling hurts but you grow stronger over time and the place that felt empty is getting filled with memories of a past life and these memories and experience are shaping a path (Or a way) that gets closer ("Step by Step" by slowly breathing) to your true self. Through experience, you find "Your Own Way". By removing someone from your life also means that you have more time for other people and there is a potential for a new, better relationship. "If One Door closes, many other open". So two reasons why I like that it is shown as three girls (Or witches / Followers of Artemis) doing a ritual: - The path from "Staying in my comfort zone by doing what others expect me to do" to "Finding your own way / Doing the effort of changing your environment" is one of the most natural things that *will* happen in a human life. It might seem not fair but only through these kind of experiences you realize what YOU really want. - I find it interesting that the blonde girl lets herself getting stabbed / "killed off". Some relationships are just not meant to be. People hurt you without their knowing and sometimes, they are not capable to change. So they "help you" to end the relationship, because even though they are not good for you, they love you enough to stay away and let you grow. I might edit it but I guess that's it :]

My god, the art on this one is outstanding! The sharpness, the gloss, those shines and gentle hand figures! So fluuuuid, smoooth, so calculated, its stylish and simple, with gorgeous imagery and a tastefull color palette chosen. Even the grainy filter over background layers is pleasant to the eyes. Nothing more than blessings to the music too, but we all knew Siames are a master at their craft, and they delivered on this track. I will be revisiting, im gonna greatly enjoy playing it and pausing and repeating along the video and getting myself some desktop wallpapers. Amazing piece!

[@clavsy]

Estos videos son cada vez mas hermosos, soy fanatico de ustedes fuerte, espero volverlos a ver en Córdoba 😭😭💕💕

[@jordanmcillwain324]

I seriously cannot express how much I love every single song this band makes. Somehow they always feels so fresh but with that signature siames flare.

[@Xia606]

I love how beautiful this song is and how impactful the meaning is. This band has helped me through high school, covid, and now college to this day ❤

[@LynnUX]

Honestly ya'll are so underrated, every single song is amazing. I've been puzzling over this video for a while, but i think i finally got it. They "killed" the old version of themselves to become who they are now, because its "their way". The girl at the end is the re-birth of the long-haired blonde lady im pretty sure. they all let go of the past and moved on... its lovely

[@catcherfreeman2104]

Something interesting to note is that at 2:52 we see on the table what seems to be trophies of their hunts. We have the golden earring taken from one of the hunted girls and the scarab earring from the ALL THE BEST animated video. Looks like that kid ran into trouble. D:

[@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.

[@ProphecyxOffic]

La dirección artística de este video y la canción sinceramente me dejan atónito. Es muy diferente a los demás videos musicales, y creo que es mucho más profunda incluso retratando una realidad que generalmente nunca veo en los demás temas que han sacado. Como siempre, UNDERRATED, se merecen muchísimo más reconocimiento, esta banda es impresionante

[@mrshikari2]

Siames' music never ceases to blow it out of the water! Awesome

[@Skibobsmells]

This is such an unhinged take on the lyrics/tone of the song. I LOVE it!

[@youssefloukili7711]

My best friend showed me this videoclip because his friend was a member of the animation team that worked on this masterpiece, but eventually I became addicted to the song , just amazing

[@BulletTracer]

You can always click on a SIAMES video with full confidence you’re about to see the most fire shit you’ve seen in a while. 😂 Great work, yo! What a hit! Thanks for your hard work! 🤙✌️

[@jordaarts]

I am so happy to see this song finally get a music video! This video hits different, because I think of it as being yourself instead of being whatever other people's interests are. Beautiful music video, awesome job to everyone on the RUDO team!

[@cal4906]

I was just diagnosed with adhd, so this song is even *more* meaningful to me now. I can finally "decide the way I live my life" in my own terms and accept who I am. Thank you for putting it in words.

[@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.

[@KaTia_HoK]

Too TOP!

[@daidai4508]

Amo todo!! La animación es hermosa!!!! Felicidades a RUDO Co. por hacer como siempre trabajos geniales!! Y la canción, la amo desde que salió hace tiempo!

[@mrbrazilliant]

What an absolute banger!!! The message hits deep and the beat keeps giving. Masterclass

[@valeelavale]

AnoCHE LA GRITE A TODO PULMÓN EN EL GRAN REX Y FUE LO MEJOR QUE ME PASO EN LA VIDA AAAA

que lindo que hayas estado ahi con nosotros!

This was. So cool.

[@jessicapootc.1172]

Never seen anything as beautiful as this style! Loving it! ❤❤❤

[@nanasecond1403]

hermano POR FAVOR TE LO PIDO! no se pueden clavar estos temas! Desubicados

[@МаргаритаЩербакова-в5ч]

Это невероятно, невозможно красиво. Я счастлива что встретиоа эту песню и клип и группу

[@lovelyrodriguez2190]

[Draft] I honestly believe that this (the music video at least) represent the chain and passing of trauma. The hunt that we see our main character participate in clearly doesn't look to be the first time she does it. 0:39 & 1:25 She's wearing the same earring as the girl she chases. This part may indicate that she was once invited to a picnic like the other girls were by the blonde, with the intention of being mauled but managed to come out on top with her life and only losing a hand as shown by her scar 0:44 .

[@amymf7252]

Me encanta... "My way" llegó cuando más necesitaba tomar una decisión para mi y reaparece cuando me encuentro en una situación similar ❤ Muchas gracias por el clip de la canción ❤ Una de mis favs ❤🎉

[@BeneficialCuts]

I keep coming back to this. This track is such a bop, and the art elevates it so much. Love the story and aesthetic of it. Such beautiful work.

[@Ladysweetbread]

totally underrated! I hope the algorithm is in favor, it is a beautiful animation and not to mention that reassuring voice of Barbie, I also loved her in "Always the same", they have done another great work as always.

[@darkheartgold]

Replay every Day ❤ I love this video, its symbols and knowledge

[@HS-lv3is]

I think I finally get the message here! The goal of the initiation is for the coven to recruit people who think for themselves. so when the main character realizes she was wrong to attack the innocent girl and instead goes after the coven leader, the coven leader accepts her into the fold for being able to think for herself!

[@kudosbudo]

well thats stupid.

[@Alienshade]

Stop pretending that you understand.....

[@HS-lv3is]

@@Alienshade but I'm better this way. My way

[@greenapple9477]

​@@kudosbudo It's stupid to COMPLETELY MISS THE POINT of BOTH the song and story. If they see it like this, who are you to judge?

[@princessthyemis]

I love the animation here, espeically the flowers at 1:31, since I was wondering how to add realstic detail to a cartoon flower for my own short film!

[@MemorytheChaosPrincess]

I started listening to you guys music a year ago when I first heard "The Wolf." and ever since I've absolutely loved the music you create! I like this song a lot and I think y'all killed it and I can see the message that was put into this video and song. Thank you guys for continuing to post music as it has really helped inspire me and a lot of other people! ❤❤❤

[@gracelin2478]

wow, the 360 while her hand regrows is mesmerizing! love the ribbons of flowers n blood blooming

[@elionaigadiel]

Thank You, Siamés.

[@saoza9772]

Me encanta que sea música que no solamente impacte a nivel sonoro sino que sientas que te transmite un sentimiento, un mensaje, que te deja algo más que solo el sonido. Siames te adoro 💙

[@MonkeyD_boy]

Los conocí con Mr. Fear y rápidamente se convirtieron en una de mis bandas favoritas. La genialidad de sus canciones y lo impecable y fabuloso de la animación en sus videos denota un claro amor, talento y esfuerzo en lo que hacen. En verdad lo amo.

[@AetherialYoutube]

I've been a SIAMES fan for years and this music video is nothing short of magical but I can't help but feel it doesn't sync very well with the song? None of the admittedly beautiful animation lines up with the beat, vocals, etc unlike their previous songs

[@Onk3lM0]

Absolute banger! How does this not have more views???

[@mycology5242]

Wow really worth the wait

[@Drowsy_Lion]

So excited to have seen this! Amazing job as always to the animators, they did a good job at making the chaotic and brutal moments in the animation look beautiful.

[@starglittersys]

this is not what i expected the music video for this song to look like!!! IT'S SO MUCH COOLER THAN WHAT I WAS HOPING FOR!!!!!

[@Akuda_Pearl]

The song and video are so god damn beautiful i don't even have the words for it. This is art, pure art. I'm stunned, watching it again and again ❤🌺

[@alicearmeniocoic9566]

This animation is just mind-blowing. Everything is beautiful. I wish there was a whole movie like this.

[@gabym94]

Valio cada maldito segundo 😊 Una obra de arte musical y visualmente, que genios son SIAMES y la gente de RUDO Co.

[@UnluckySuperstition]

Ooh, this is probably one of my favorite music videos ever. Love the glam filter over all the ritual symbology.

[@steventruong55]

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

[@CatalinaRojas-h5o]

the video is beautiful the song really touched my soul, its a great reminder of follow your own path and let it happen, awesome song guyssss really love it

[@grzegorzkomarec337]

A beautiful and delightful animation! People write about Studio Ghibli and other animations, but isn't anyone mentioning arts & crafts vibe and the forest in style directly taken from Ivan Bilibin's works? Super cool!

[@crystaluniverse9998]

The way I anylized this so many times for so many different stories. I adore every single detail

[@planepancake4426]

"I'm better this way My way You don't understand So please stop pretending" Best chorus ever! I have too many people in my life that pretend they know what's best for me, or how I should be like. And this chorus lines that up perfectly.

[@Demetrius900000]

Didn't get it the first time, need to rewatch this!

[@kunaihanaki]

YAY

[@Sieghart.]

Just came across this band today, this vocalist and animation team is on a whole nother level. Prompted me to check out their older stuff and while I wasn’t big fan of whatever male vocalist they had before, whoever sang this song is way more my vibe. The visual storytelling for interpretation syncs so well with the song. More from this singer please!

[@Salem]

This is my preferred version. Something richer with the added synth backtrack.

[@Delicate_Elephant]

incredible animation!

[@OMNIhydra1]

I absolutely love this! The animation and the song pair so well! I love the mix of macabre, occult, desperate, predatory, and tripy! This is my kind of art

[@PirateDion]

Feel like I'm in a fever dream every music video :D. Definitely captivating.

[@abokazo287]

One again you guys and RUDO CO join forces to cook up an absolutely amazing music video

[@DiegoGiribaldi]

Great video! Proud of this level of production in Argentina

[@mr.mapushe1453]

Jamas me canso de ver y escuchar lo nuevo y viejo de siames, enserio que los adoro ;;

[@magiclobster4098]

Thank you so so much for all the effort you put into your music and animations alike, it is delightful to see your art, i have been a fan of you guys for years and i am always inspired by your creations, again thank you so much for all of your work, i am incredibly excited for anything you do in the future

[@HuggNiceman]

This is one of the most provocative and poignant music videos I've ever seen. Absolutely incredible. Certified banger of a track as well. Fantastic all around!

[@TinkaDreamChaser]

Oh my god it's a LOOP I cannot believe it took me this many rewatches to FINALLY notice the girl with the buns at the end is probably the same blonde who died. REBIRTH! It even said so! She has the same choker as the dead girl and these two are the only blondes in the video.

[@MysticStarStudio]

Wow! The animation and the song is so amazing! ❤❤❤

[@smoldraws6220]

Amazing as always

[@hollycrossingxo]

its Princess Mononoke meets Mean girls and the fae and I am HERE for it.

[@Meatpieman]

Wow, the music and animation is so freaking amazing

[@Sealybanana]

I am obsessed with this, and I'm trying to untangle the meaning and the story of the song and the animation. ❤️❤️❤️✨✨✨ Amazing
