I'm gonna guess the meaning: A chimney sweeper (flu faker) is like a slave and he wants to die so bad - when they nailed his feet to the floor he thought the rust getting into his blood was going to kill him but it didn't do the trick so he decided to 'accidentally' suffocate in the chimney but his master dragged him out so he hangs himself.

how about the part where he says "Laissez faire"

[@annotherdemon8217]

I´d interpret it, that through the noninterfernce of the government in business and industry (insurances, social systems etc.), he somehow fell through some "loopholes" and ended up as a flue faker. A Job he absolutly hates, makes him lose his mind/ self and makes him eventually kill himself. I´d blame that too, if I was in that position.

[@Anmari97]

FYI, 'laissez faire' is the theory (or system) which stated that the goverment should not involve that much in the lives, behavior and development of the people. It is the unwillingness of getting involved in others lives. In this song, it means that many people knew about what the Flue Faker was suffering, but they didn't wanted to involve, neither wanted to do something about it.

[@elsjeblom7751]

Twaddle: trivial or foolish speech or writing; nonsense talk or write in a trivial or foolish way In other words, Oliver is seen as foolish. His suffering is seen as foolish, unimportant and trivial. His life story and what this song is about is just a "Twaddle of a Flue Faker" not a "Twaddle of Oliver" Putting him into a group name and suggesting that this just another story of another flue faker, meaning there are many stories like this one. It's Unimportant, just another twaddle of a flue faker, like just another sad story of the bunch. Thus, they are twaddles. I'm pretty sure this is about the Victorian era, referring to the the words Flue Faker and Laissez Faire (go look those up if you're interested). Oliver is a flue faker, in other words he cleans chimneys. He really wants to die because his life is one of suffering. In the chorus he sings "I want to run away" probably from his abuse and masters, but since he can't the only way is to die. First it was the rusty nails, that he hoped would poison his blood. "But it did not do the trick." Then when going up in the chimney he was suffocating but his master pulled him back down, once again not allowing him to die. The chorus I interpreted this way. First he sings "I am a portrait, that leaves you sighing sadly" He refers to how people see him, they sigh sadly with pity for him. Much how we sigh like that when we see someone suffering on the street sometimes. He then says "I am THAT Portrait" referring to a specific portrait. I think he refers to a literal portrait of the Flue Fakers in the Victorian era, when people see it they sigh sadly thinking, "Those poor children" or "How they must have suffered back then" He could also be specifying that amogst all the portraits of Flue Fakers, he is THAT one. Like how i said the beginning, he's not seen as an individual. Drawing close to the end he sings "I'll be paper thin and pale" Probably because of his declined health, and the lack of food and nourishment, as Chimney Sweepers were notorious for being pale and thin. He says "The "Scurfs" took my life away" I tried looking into the word "Scurf" and someone said it was used to describe a person who is dirty and smelly. Now, Oliver could be seeing his masters as "Dirty" because of how cruel and wicked they are, saying that they took away his life. He could also be referring to himself and to job of the Chimney Sweeper because of how dirty they always were, being covered in soot most of the time. He says that being a Flue Faker has taken his life away, not referring to "The scurfs" as the other chimney sweepers, but as another person entirely and as the job that came with being one. The next line: "I'm patiently sedated" is a little difficult. It could be his abusive masters drugging him. Describing that he's thin, he's always sedated and that his life has been taken away, and his only exit is to die. But my next theory is more likely because of the following line: "Now my only exit." Whilst he sings this, you see Oliver climbing up onto a chair, but you only see his feet. In the next shot you can't see his feet anymore, telling us that he hung himself.He might have sedated himself before hanging himself. "is the cold poetic Scythe." We commonly associate a scythe with the grim reaper. He describes the scythe as "cold" like how death is lots of times described as cold or freezing, but also "poetic" meaning he was relieved at dying, and saw it as a beautiful or 'poetic' thing. This line also signifies that Oliver is asking if he can finally die now, the word "is" indicating a question. After singing the chorus again he sings "We are a portrait." He is talking about all the other Chimney Sweepers, and how they are all just like him suffering, and wanting to run away. They all have sad stories, and are all the same portrait making people sigh softly. The last lines, "A thud sounding softly" Could be the chair falling backwards as he hangs himself, or his body falling down after his masters found him. "I secretly Disintegrate" Makes the likelihood of the chair falling backwards higher, as he says "Secretly" Meaning he died without anyone in the room, dying without anyone knowing what he was doing. He could also mean that he died secretly, saying that no one cared if he died. It was as if his death was a secret that no one knew about. "Uneasy lamps draw back and forth" is probably just the setting, and the way hanging lamps sway back and forth. A darker explanation could be that when he hangs himself, the rope swings back and forth at first, and from his vision it looks like the lamps are drawing back and forth when it"s actually the rope tied to his neck that's swinging back and forth. "I've waited so long" Doesn't need any explanation. He's waited so long to be relieved of his suffering and is finally by dying. I would talk about how amazing and breathtaking this song is, but my comment should already be taken into custody for being so long. I just really wanted to write down my theory seeing as many people were asking what it's about. I love this song, and maybe a few people find this comment interesting to read. The song is amazing for portraying a story like this.

[@firstnamesecondname451]

Fun fact: Laissez faire was the name of the policy adopted by the British government for most of it's history. It basically means keeping a hands-off approach to the issues of the public and not interfering, which is why child labour like chimney-sweeping was able to go on for as long as it did, amongst other things.

[@dp2989]

Aithne White Cool-leo!

[@Ms2gymnasticsgirls]

Hm, this song is a little less obvious than Secrets of Wysteria, but I'll try my best! So, when the events occur in this song, Oliver is a chimney sweeper, but it seems he has other jobs as well. And, if you take Oliver's age into account, he is a child. This song is about child labor in the earlier parts of the eighteenth and seventeenth century. When the chorus chants 'We are a portrait that leaves you sighing sadly' It is referring to the fact that many children were under this cruel treatment. This song, in my guess, is about child labor. Laissez-faire means the government is not in involved in economics, so companies were able to higher child laborers. Oliver was one of them. He cleaned chimnies, and in a plight to leave the Hell he lived in, the punishers nailed his feet into the floor. He grew suicidal and depressed with his state and he wondered why he, a child, was sentenced to a life like this. So, in saying that he was a 'portrait' he was portraying that he lived a horrible life. Though, adults in that Era was used to child laborers such as Oliver, so he was disregarded. After multiple attempts to end his suffering, he succeeded. And, he recounted in the end that there were other portraits like him, destined to live a life of hard labor under laissez-faire and harsh treatment from masters. But that's just a theory. A vocaloid theory! (I really like game theory and film theory, I am sorry XD)

[@Chloe-o1h]

Katsurel I think he nailed his own feet to the floor in an attempt to kill him self because it said he started to smile

[@whoamichelle]

I see... I see a fellow Theorist :D

[@drezzoisdead]

I have a different theory about the portrait line. I think the portrait line refers to his hanging body. The chimney being a frame around him, and his body being the portrait. And of course it would leave someone upset. The “we are a portrait” I think means that many of the kids had the same life as him, being suicidal, and being a story, or a doll, who’s only purpose is to die.

[@notes-rif2825]

[@itsalie8561]

I think this song is about a chimney cleaner at 19th Century England.See,that time,adults couldn't fit in the chimneys so they hired poor young children (usually boys) to clean them.The wage though was really low.This particular case is about a young boy who was trapped in a situation like this,he hated his job but couldn't do otherwise,and despite his hopes he'd die from infection,he is still alive and kicking.He couldn't run away either,so he just hanged or poisoned himself.

And also in 2:22, "bukowski" is an author who writes about the drudgery of work and is an author who decided to starve instead of work at a post-office.

[@aab2831]

"Murakami" in 2:31 is a Japanese author who writes melancholy, surrealistic tales speaking of lonliness.

At 3:10 "Marx" is seen, the famous Karl Mark who criticized capitalism and who pushed for a revolution of the working class, which our poor flue faker would be in.

As we've established...this is song about a Flue Faker (Chimney sweeper) who is suicidal and has tried multiple times to kill himself but fails (until he hangs himself at least). I'm guessing when Oliver says "I am a portrait that leaves you sighing sadly" he either means that looking at his dead body dangling on the rope makes you sad or his sorry and malnourished physical and mental state is pitiful

[@lemone6945]

This song is so sad when you think about it, especially when you know how old vocaloid Oliver is supposed to be (11 I believe) and what Lazies Faire was/when it was around. This song is about a child being abused back when child labor and basically abusing laborers was legal, a child who is suffering so much he wants to run away and eventually commits suicide.

Sorry for being late but this is probably about a chimney sweep during the 1800s who was literally sold into his trade and felt like he was just on show like a portrait because if a chimney sweep was dirty and scratched at his knees he was seen as hardworking .Chimney sweeps were notoriously thin and pale and constantly under abuse.It was a real low then...

[@CoolFrog9]

I think its about a boy who wanted to die, ( sorry if my interpretation is dumb -.-) that's why he smiled while being nailed. He planned to suffocate in the chimney. But he was saved, so he hung himself. and the portrait is his sad life, so that's why the portrait at the end has a red X, but there are a lot of portraits that wanted to die! Plus I love the creaking at the end!! I can just Imagine his body swinging back and forth~ :3 (I'm awful..)

[@donglorddonglord5411]

+Lps_Luna well, it talks about laissez faire, which was a policy back in the 1800s during industrialism stating that the government shouldn't get involved in business, leading to a lack of any real labor laws. considering that, it's probably a song about the mistreatment of laborers back then

🤓🧐This is based on the industrial revolution where the children would clean the chimneys 😔lot of the times dying from either suffocation or exposure .

[@sjnoraskingdom3915]

I think that this song stands for people on social media, faking their own problems. First off, starting with the title. "Twaddles of a Flue Faker." The sentence is very vague, seeing as a flue has nothing to do with anything in the song, but "twaddles of a faker" seems to be a supporting sentence. "I am a portrait" would also imply something. Profile pictures can be a very easy correlation. "The nobblers nailed my feet to the floor" these administrators of said social media websites could be described as swindlers to an extent. Nailing his feet to the floor is simple-you use a laptop/desktop computer while sitting down. "I start to feel myself smile, (slowly losing myself)" Have you ever seen those annoying kids who go online and say that they're insane? Chances are, you have. I think that the echoes around that indicate that it is being said/typed, while the person behind the screen is smiling in excitement for the reactions. "But it did not do the trick" would also imply that the readers of what was posted here didn't react with sympathy or kindness to the young person. They didn't fall for his trick. "Oh woe is me", posting again in attempts to actually achieve his goals, upping the standard and going into something darker in attempts for more attention. "It will be a wreck-up, I'll make sure" implies making more trouble for the sheer enjoyment of seeing the people, arguing pointlessly. "When they stick me up the chimney" is the person talking about going through domestic abuse or something like that. More of what was sticking out to me was that there were more of the shadow-children-more children to gather up and start going on a tangent about their lives, or just argue. The next repitition of "slowly losing myself" is just the kid posting the same thing, over and over again, in hopes to get something different. You know, the thing that kids do. Repitition of "woe is me", it's similar to the last verse. Child posts something new about "But my master dragged me back down" to Hell. It's such a common thing on social media, for people to say "WELCOME TO MY HELL" or something along those lines. But remember that one of the best things about this song is the art. Look in the chorus-There are more children, with the same look, dragged into the addiction of the Internet. They're all children's drawings, with their own extremely messed up interpretations of what these things are. "I'll be paper, thin and pale!" These people are slowly neglecting practical needs, becoming sickly. "These 'scures' took my life away." Realizing what has happened to him, growing up. "I'm patiently sedated. ." Would be above, just going into adulthood. "My only exit is. .The cold, poetic scythe." There could be two interpretations of this. The person killed himself, which would make sense because of the artwork and lyrics, or he still spirals in this circle of addiction and doesn't stop, posting further. "For we are a portrait that leaves you sighing sadly!" Just indicates how many people are now drawn to this, doing the same thing, cycling over and over again as more and more people join. Also, when I decreased the speed, this is what it spelled out afterwards: "When it all, how are we mad? Free, cheap, children run." It's warning the others. The last part is walking away from the life that they've lived for so many years.

[@sjnoraskingdom3915]

But looking deeper, these things appeared on the screen pretty quickly: "1 5 Sunflower 1 5" (Rabbit) "OH NO! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" "Napoles. . .Is a waste of flesh. Believe in the number five. Who are you? Surely..How to see? Plants grow from trash. Nine. How wonderful it could be, on the sun a house in the moon. Ha ha ha, yuck. Wisfor work don't think splat fingerprint. Wait. When? Nine nine nine nine nine. S...Is it? Ha, you were close to a lamp lit river. Vanish. See, happiness. Nine." "(Jumbled) Nine, perna, happiness, create, don't think, time" "a cruel glass." (Continuation is going to come.)
