    After finishing "The Song of Achilles", I hear the Greeks singing to Achilles after Patroclus died. Some parts however are Patroclus, "Remember the pact of our youth." and he is trying to calm Achilles down. Achilles goes crazy after Patroclus's death and kills lots of people but it ends in his own death. The Greeks tried to get him to calm down but he wouldn't. "Some of us loved you, not many but it's true" is Odysseus trying to talk to Achilles about Patroclus to convince him fighting or killing Hector won't do anything. Just my thinking lol ^^'

    This song is a haunting reminder of the darkness I thought I had escaped. This song echoes the voices in my head, the ones that tell me I'm not enough, that I'm a burden, and that I'll never be worthy. It's a painful reflection of the moments I've hit rock bottom, and the tears I've cried in silence. Gang of Youths' lyrics have a way of reaching into my soul and stirring up emotions I thought I had long buried. This song is a heartbreaking reminder that some wounds never fully heal, and that the ache of my past will always be a part of me.

    LYRICS:
    Achilles, Achillies, Achilles,
    Come down, Won't you get up off,
    Get up off the roof?
    You're scaring us and
    All of us, some of us love
    you, Achilles
    It's not much
    but there's proof
    You crazy assed cosmonaut,
    Remember your virtue,
    Redemption lies plainly
    In truth
    Just humour us, Achilles,
    Achilles, come get down,
    Won't you get up off, get up off,
    The roof?
    Achilles, Achillies, Achilles,
    Come down, Won't you get up off,
    Get up off the roof?
    Remember the path of our youth
    Where you go, i'm going,
    So jump and i'm jumping
    Since there's no me without you
    Soldier on, Achilles,
    Achilles come down, won't
    You get up off, get up off
    The roof?
    Loathe the way they light
    Candles in rome, but love the
    Sweet air of the votives
    Hurt and grieve but don't
    Suffer alone, engage with the pain as a motive
    Today of all days, see
    How the most dangerous
    Thing is to love
    How you will heal
    And you'll rise above
    Achilles, Achillies, Achilles,
    Jump now, and you are absent of cause or excuse
    So self-indulgent, and
    Self-referencial, no audience
    Could ever want you
    You crave the applause, yet
    Hate the atenttion, then miss it,
    Your act is a rouse
    It's empty Achilles, so
    end it up now, it's a
    pointless resistance for you
    Achilles, Achilles, just
    Put down the bottle, don't
    Listen to what you've consumed
    It's chaos, confusion and
    Wholly unworthy of
    Feeding and it's wholly
    Untrue
    You may feel no purpose
    Nor a point for existance, it's
    All conjecture and gloom
    And there may not be a
    meaning so find one and
    seize it
    Hear those bell rings,
    Deep in the soul, chiming
    Away for a moment
    Feel your breathe course
    Frankly below, see life as a
    Worthy opponent
    Today of all days, see
    How the most dangerous
    Thing is to love
    How you'll heal
    And you'll rise above
    Crowded by an overture
    Bold and Beyond
    Ah, it's more courageous
    To overcome
    More poignant than frame,
    Or the taste of another
    Be real and just jump, you dense motherfucker
    (YOU'RE WORTH MORE, ACHILLES)
    You will not be more than a rat in the gutter
    (SO MUCH MORE, THAN A RAT)
    You want my opinion,
    My opinion you've got
    (NO ONE ASKED FOR YOUR OPINION)
    You asked for my counsel,
    I gave you my thoughts
    (NO ONE ASKED FOR YOUR THOUGHTS)
    Be done with this now,
    And jump off the roof
    BE DONE WITH THIS NOW
    AND GET OFF THE ROOF
    Can you hear me, Achilles?
    I'm talking to you
    CAN YOU HEAR ME ACHILLES?
    I'M TALKING TO YOU
    I'M TALKING TO YOU
    I'M TALKING TO YOU
    ACHILLES COME DOWN
    ACHILLES COME DOWN
    THROW YOURSELF INTO THE
    UNKNOWN, WITH THE PACE AND
    FURY DEFIANT
    CLOTHE YOURSELF WITH
    BEAUTY UNTOLD, AND SEE LIFE
    AS A MEANS TO TRIUMPH
    TODAY OF ALL DAYS, SEE
    HOW THE MOST DANGEROUS
    THING IS TO LOVE
    HOW YOU WILL HEAL
    AND YOU'LL RISE ABOVE
    CROWNED BY AN OVERTURE,
    BOLD AND BEYOND
    AH, IT'S MORE COURAGEOUS
    TO OVERCOME

    What is this about?????

    • @mariibugs

      It's about the Demigod and warrior Achilles, and how while battling through grief, you aren't alone in it.
      In the song, it's referenced that Achilles is standing atop of a roof ready to kill himself. The singer is trying to convince him that there is more to grief than sadness, and to come down and rethink ("Achilles come down, You're worth more Achilles, Be done with this now and get off of the roof".)
      Whilst in the background of those vocals, you can also hear the intrusive thoughts urging him further, ("Be real and just jump, you dense motherf*cker, you will not be more than a rat in the gutter, be done with this now and jump off the roof".) To which the last line overlaps with that of "Be done with this now and get off the roof."
      It's a beautiful song when you look behind the meaning and listen to it fully. If you listen to the whole of the lyrics, this whole song takes place on top of that roof. It's all about him convincing Achilles to get down. (Hence 'Achilles Come Down'). It's also thought that this is about the singers battle with his own grief and how his ex-wife was battling cancer.
      There's moments in the song where it seems he's conflicted ("Qu'on appelle une raison de vivre est en même temps une excellente raison de mourir.") Which is French, translated to be something along the lines of "What some call a reason to live is, at the same time, an excellent reason to die."
