[@otomachiunagi4208]

If you do not know what the song is about, it is about the drug Krokodil (commonly known by it's effects of breaking up your skin until it's feels leathery like Crocodile Skin). People who take this drug hardly live past 2 years of using these drugs, comparative to others which can take over a decade. This song is about two halves of taking drugs. One side describes how good it feels to be intoxicated and filled with joy from these drugs. The other side explains how it wants the side effects to end. The skin to stop breaking down. It's rather sad.

[@grayhadeswolf]

wow

[@cats.cant.contour8812]

@@grayhadeswolf They didn't even get into the worst of it- it eats the tissue away from the inside out. Long term users (if they live that long) bones will be seen. Some you can see through their arm/leg the bone completely visible from all sides. Entire limbs become completely useless. If they do recovery from it, the muscle doesn't come back because it's completely gone in some places. Some people use gasoline, paint thinner, cigarette ashes (to balance the pH.) They found that eye drops heightens the effects. The eye drops dries them out severally. Causing major damage to the heart, liver and other body organs. Most only live about 2 years. It only takes about 5 minutes to feel it and it last on average about 2 hours, this depends on how strong it is. Because of this they inject themselves more frequent than other drugs, putting more toxins in their body. Most of the people who do this drug are ex heroin addicts. When they get to poor, or the drug prices spike up they turn to this awful drug. It's cheaper and easy to make. It only takes about 45 minutes to an hour to finish a batch. Which, compared to most other drugs is quick. It's high is also stronger. Which to them, is a added benefit. At that point most of them live for the next high, that's all. They have completely given up. It's sad honestly, because they know what it does. They don't care, they have given up on everything. Completely and utterly in love with this drug. While hating it at the same time. Sorry about the length.

This song gives many emotions for me coming from a family of addicts and seeing the damage to does to people. I love the instrumentals and lyrics. Listening to it and thinking of how horrific that actual drug is disturbs me, yet the lyrics are just saddening and applies to the topic of addiction. "Lying never felt so fulfilling/displeasing, I think that tomorrow will be a new day to start fresh, repeat what's been done a hundred times again." This couldn't be more accurate. Unless you've experienced it first hand, having a loved one suffering from addiction is horrific to see. Reasoning and meaning of life no longer registers in their voice, but it's there.

Concept for a music video if this were ever covered by another band. It’s a single continuous shot of the singer. As the song goes on, the setting changes from the streets, to an abandoned building with a concrete floor, etc. In some parts, the environment gets more and more distorted to represent the high from the drugs. As it goes on, the singer who’s playing the role of the addict, seems to get worse and worse looking. They start out with a few scars and bruises, but gradually develop more of them along with open wounds, a bleeding eye, and maybe even some rough skin (but none of the awful deterioration that Krokodil is known for, that would be a little too graphic. But show enough damage to get the message across.) The final scene is of the addict getting up and going somewhere. In the last few seconds of the video, some of the wounds start to heal, but the very last part is of her lying down in what could be either a bed, or a casket. The ending as to whether she lives or dies is left up to speculation.

[@goergewesker8543]

correct me if i'm wrong

[@alriue]

When a heroin addict can no longer afford to pay for their fix, they might turn to krokodil, which is about a tenth of the price--since it can be made easily at home. Plus it has a much stronger kick and such. They know what it does to them, but they just don't care. In other words, you're pretty much only going to take krokodil if you're already a massive drug addict.

[@letshavefun1015]

because, heroin addicts who cant pay for the heroin, get this from having 00% chill, they know the effects, they just give 0 fucks about life, your welcome for the answer that dumb people can understand XD

Great song. Really love thats its heavier than most other vocaloid songs and uses instruments rather than just beats and stuff (dont get me wrong, i do like those songs, but this is refreshing). Most vocaloid songs I come across I just think "Oh, another /Vocaloid/ song." But this song and your other songs are more "real" to me, its not /just/ the fact that its vocaloid that makes it special. Like I could easily imagine a band performing this live, something like that. Good work.

The poison quickly floods my veins Contamination A stream of colours fill my head Hallucinations I collapse on the cold, hard, floor Deprivation The damage takes a hold of me Infliction . Lying never felt so Fulfilling, I think that Tomorrow will be a new day To start fresh Repeat what\'s been done A hundred times again The sensation subsides But slowly crawls back up my skin . The craving slowly starts again Crawling up my skin I want the blissful feeling of Purification I touch the leather surface of My crocodile skin I want a way to stop the pain Depression . Lying never felt so Displeasing, I think that Tomorrow will be a new day To start fresh Undo what\'s been done A hundred times again The sensation subsides And never crawls back up my skin .

[@zelord5080]

Which drug did you was addicted to

[@STAAAAAAAAAAAARRRS]

*MESSAGE OF DRUG AWARENESS:* Desomorphine (krokodil- the name of the drug the song is about) has been nick-named "flesh-eating drug" and "zombie drug" and it's not for nothing. It causes the skin to become decrepit, thicker, and eventually decay, looking moldy. The skin disease it causes is called Necrotizing Fasciitis, and as the name suggests, this is due to a bacterial infection when one consums d=this drug, causing skin damage within a few weeks. There is no cure to this aside from limb amputation, as the blood will be filled with gasoline and paint thinner, substances that are still present in illicitly produced desomorphine, because of excessive synthesis. This is why only hospitals and clinics possess this, as it is a derivative of morphine, which eases pain, and causes a feeling of euphoria, only for the person to fall down the rabbit hole and easily become addicted. In some way, in a legal context, when there is a company helping producing the desomorphine and searching to make morphine, they have less trouble "purifying" it (we'll say it like that). Now a final little note: I strongly disadvice searching the name of the skin diseases, especially if you are sensitive and easily shocked. Even I haven't searched images of this skin disease in a long time as it is very gory. Remember that those do not come from horror movies, and are actually pictures of people who have the symptoms and took the drug... VIEW IT AT YOUR OWN RISK! I hope I was not too annoying with this, but awareness is vital. I also do not intend to scare anyone. I mean that it is understandable to want to challenge your guts, but there are some things better off unseen. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO UNDERSTAND THE MEANING BEHIND THE TITLE OF THE SONG.

[@O111e]

On those pictures, for those who wanna know but not actually see it, read more for the gory details. You were warned. On top of this comment, it isn't just skin. It also can rot your muscles and flesh from the inside out, and seemingly bone. Looking the disease up, I saw not only skin being taken off down to the tendons across the entire tops of feet and amputated toes, along the entire arm and into the chest, but multiple pictures of holes in peoples' faces. Like, half the upper jaw gone, no seperation from that hole and the eye socket, in fact there was no eye socket, and it went up to the forehead. All of it decayed and rotted. And the worst part is some of them looked not like it was an autopsy or they were dead, but like it was just surgery to remove. Like they were still alive through that. Editing this to add. Sorry for your inevitable disgust. What I said about the upper jaw to the forehead? I just came across pics of people with the whole side of their heads gone. One of them was definitely still alive, his eyes open and all, looking at the camera.

[@STAAAAAAAAAAAARRRS]

@@O111e You don’t have to apologize. You did give a warning. And furthermore, yeah it eats you from the inside because of all the chemical agents inside. I don’t quite remember the name of the disease where the body rots while the individual is still conscious, or rather decaying in several regions. Although I believe it was something along “Necrosis”, I just ate so, although I have a tough stomach, I’m not really keen on checking the decay out only to see the name. But I really do appreciate you pointing out and also trying to inform of the effects and the agony it causes on the body. So thank you. Nobody deserves to have any part of them decay while alive, much worse that they chose to dive into this rabbit hole blinded by comfort and a high to hide pain or inner conflicts…

[@luvbrandt]

Heroin is extremely popular in a certain part of the Russian border, and when offered Krokodil, many addicts will take it. The effect is stronger and the drug is cheaper, which I guess is why. Some people just place little to no value on their life so if its cheaper, they don't fear the dangerous side effects. I hope that explains why, or at least kind of does.

Exceptional vibe tunes for gaming and such. I've listened to a load of tunes from this band and while the music seems a little monotone, I just can't express how this music amplifies my concentration and reflexes.

[@akuma4321]

i think what i like most about this song (aside from the everything else about it) is the fact that it's incredibly dark and sad, but it has a hopeful ending. the lines "the sensation subsides / and never crawls back up my skin" give me the feeling that she was eventually able to overcome her addiction and finally stop using krokodil. the song's really good at illustrating how fucked up and destructive this drug is, but how there's light at the end of the tunnel, and it _can_ be beaten.

[@spottysneeky8567]

[@Aika.G]

*looks up krokodil* Me: I shouldnt be scared, after all I've already read, listened, and watched some deep messed up shit.

[@viscerotic]

i couldnt even be scared ive been to desensitised by the other shit ive read seen and heard i just think damn this is how the zombie apocolypse starts

[@noonespecial4812]

Have fun... And may god have mercy on your soul...

[@viscerotic]

Carnis The Corrupt Angel im not scarred but i only scrolled about halfway. i feel i little sick bc of the urolagnia and coprophilia but thats nothing new. i just came to ask, how in the fuck did you even find that page. jesus christ.

[@noonespecial4812]

Sadly that "IS" The internet I didn't say I enjoyed it either but, That isn't even the extent of what can be on the internet and its honestly terrifying. But always remember that it can always be worse sadly.

[@viscerotic]

Carnis The Corrupt Angel that is very true

[@PulsarPuppy]

Beautiful as always!

[@xCepheid]

Thank you!

[@RabidSquirrel]

Beautiful.

[@hellbird9376]

masterpiece.

[@ChimeDime]

Thanks for this awesome and slightly creepy song, I think it's really cool how you took rock and vocaloid and did it so beautifully I think you are my favorite vocaloid writer by far! :D

[@xCepheid]

+Lily Sterling Thanks!! It's what I do best! XD

[@XxXsoapXxX]

I've been listening to this and Dasu's songs for years and I only just now learned the art is done by Dasu. Omg

[@corona714]

That scream, those lyrics, the music! God I cannot get enough of it. The thing is, besides the crocodile skin part, this explains drug addiction really well, and it's an issue many have experience with. I had found out and done a lot of research about this drug and when I found this song I screamed. It's been almost a year now since I've heard it and?? It's still my favorite.

[@risstastic]

bone chilling!

[@YoppyVU]

THIS IS SO NICE OMG ^^

[@neverland9117]

Since June 1, 2012, the over-the-counter sale of codeine-containing drugs in Russia is prohibited. In some regions of the Russian Federation (Altai Republic, Kaluga Region and others), the sale of codeine-containing drugs without a prescription was prohibited by regional authorities earlier, back in 2011. In March 2014, it was announced that the desomorphine market in Russia was virtually destroyed. Never again!

[@GingerbreadGrlz]

Yet again another amazing song!!! Great work! The meaning I got from this is really deep. Wow!

[@creamatory]

Thank you for letting me find those images of krokodil users. It was amazing and oddly satisfying for me to see one where more than half this guys arm was eaten away, loving gore and all. Great song btw keep up the good work

[@pomorosea]

what the fuck

[@daisy_the_great8052]

THIS IS SO UNDERAPPRECIATED

[@TDUShelby]

Might be a late comment, but thank you for making this. Despite it being a different production overall, I do put this song up there with Metallica's "Master of Puppets" and "Sad but True," as well as Silva Hound's "Addict," (yes, the Hazbin Hotel song,) as perfect addiction songs. I've been fortunate enough to not be an "addict," but I do have an addictive personality, and these kinds of songs kind of fuck me up, but in a good way. Makes me want to stop short of going too far, even if I kind of do, every once in a while. Of the above songs mentioned, though, this one is the only one I'd describe as desperate. This is the soundtrack to someone who KNOWS what they're doing, but can't stop. They want to, but their body can't, and that's heartbreaking, if for no other reason than that's the kind of thing that stole my mother from me. Again, thank you, Cepheid. From banging my head to Chronos to digging deep within myself here, thank you for existing.

[@noppeymcnopants140]

I need to visit my happy place. Crocodiles are no longer my favorite animal. Thanks.

[@bizzhat]

Deja vu I've just been in this place before.. --- holy crap. This piece is epic. Everything is perfect. Thank You! wow.

[@louisehapton]

Omg this is just amazing!I really like this song and what it is talking about! I have a question: Can I do a cover on it? (I'll credit you and every pepole on the description of course)

[@xCepheid]

Sure! Send me a DM and we can sort out everything there :)

[@louisehapton]

xCepheid Oh thank you! (I feel stupid but... What's exactly a DM?)

[@xCepheid]

DM stands for "direct message". You can go to my KZbin channel and send me a private message over KZbin or send me an email :)

[@louisehapton]

xCepheid okay thank you! :3

[@louisehapton]

Did you get my message? :0 I'm not sure it worked

[@malachiteyesterday8659]

so at the end of the song, did she die? or end up getting help? I mean she probably died but...

[@xCepheid]

My original intention was that she lived, but I write lyrics in a way that leave them mostly up to interpretation.

[@brokendoll3281]

Bree Rose Looking at the lyrics, I think she probably found some kind of cure, but I could also be wrong.

[@xryeau_1760]

She said "a hundred times again" Implying that she's done this 100 or 200 times. Krokodil (as found in another comment) usually takes at least a year to at least a year to kill someone. So I believe that she lived, hell, even a part of a song said that she'd stop. "lying never felt so displeasing" and so on from there.

[@xCepheid]

+Xryeau _ That lyric was hyperbole, mostly to emphasize that she's done the drug many times. Not literally 100 times.

[@xryeau_1760]

+xCepheid Yeah but I feel like the wording would be different if it was for actually long enough to kill her.

[@P5ykoOHD]

At 100% on everything, the voice becomes an instrument that you can understand. (close to hearing degradation) Love it.

[@thereisnousernorname]

Is no one talking about how Gumi looks like a half-ghoul as well? XD

[@fistdantilus9916]

Omg I just noticed that!

[@darkbluecatCajaP]

THIS IS SICK SHIT DOE! GOOD SHIT

[@seikatsu589]

Pop Music: -talks about sex- Vocaloid Fandom: -Talks about sex, depression, drugs, creepy shit, happy stuff, etc.- I like that the fandom is a mix of everything, because some songs are extremely powerful, like this one!

[@NeedHelpCat]

Sent this to my friend.. "This song is really addicting"

[@riririnmaru5672]

I think of this song everyday

[@greekgod2441]

Why doesn’t this have more attention it’s great

[@alexrogers3035]

This is awesome! I love to listen to this!! Gumi never sounded THIS good!

[@BladeOfSteel-Sword_Saint]

This video is scary but so addicting to watch.

[@macotojurane2023]

This song is amazing! Gumi is perfect for the song! And her english sounds great! I am so in love with this song

[@ScyAnimates]

still a masterpiece

[@m1s5ed]

this song gets better the louder it is

[@arielhyla]

INCREDIBLE

[@nataliehull8380]

Keep up the good work, even tho this is a sad song, it was very touching and good.

[@exadl1505]

nice I didn't think that I'd like vocaloid but a few songs are really good like this :D
