THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 1000 SUBSCRIBERS!!!
You deserve way more subs!
is it weird that I know I was your 906 subscriber...huh
of course
EEEE Just a few days ago you were at 500!! Congrats!
You deserve to be more popular! I hope you're going to be one day :)
The end of this song is basically “the risks I took were calculated, but MAN am I bad at math”
Well that uncomfortable close to my way of thinking
I love your profile picture so much
did you know you can compress bread to get more bread in a bread
'but the only real concern for me is counting lives' and she failed that exact task
@@woooooooooooooooooooooooo well it isn't that easy. At some point the pressure will not let it continue I'm not even talking about how after 2-3 cycles bread would be so compressed that just biting it would require a, lot of strength.
But yeah is pretty cheap way to eat more bread by filling the "same" Amount of space in your stomatch
Not sure if anyone else noticed, but I like how it's implied the protagonist burned through all her lives in less than three months- it's mentioned that it started on a winter morning, and that she was found in the snow after having lost her last life, indicating that it was still winter.
Edit: Did anyone saying "it could have been a year" pay attention to the song?
Hi! I didn’t expect to see you here!
I always assumed that part was about the first time they met, like she died and was given more chances.
Which is to say, the "certain death" she forgot to count was the first one.
I feel like it’s more about a year

I like how the gradient color of the sky in the bg changes through the song. It starts blue (which on the stoplights seems to be swapped for where the green light would usually be), signaling the character seeing nothing wrong with her dangerous actions- a green(blue) light, keep going, don't slow down. Then in the middle it turns yellow- the middle light, slow down, consider what you're doing as the consequences of her actions start showing up. Then at the end, when it finally ends and she ends up dying, it turns red- stop light, end of the line.
idk just thought that was a cool detail :^D
I never noticed this, that's so cool!
I actually think in other countries instead of a green light, it's blue
Not 100% sure though, I'm from the US and I've never left the country
In Japan, people call the green traffic light blue. There's some linguistic reasons that I don't have memorised right now (a bunch of green things are called blue instead), but yeah, basically, even if the light is technically green in colour, in speech a green signal is a "blue signal" instead in Japanese.
Holy crap, I never noticed that! Thanks for pointing it out!
the traffic light might be because cats are red-green colorblind
the glorious bop philosophy
btw I would like to ask, what DAW do you use for your songs? thank you very much!
Kevin Minh flstudio 'cause I'm a basic bitch
The unfathomable feral psychosis
this aged so well with the bop cat meme
makes me wonder... what if a masochist could repeatedly come back to death? the news would probably be all over that insanity if it actually happened.
So, I have a theory on what this song’s about.
A trickster deity, taking the form of a cat, finds a young girl who wishes of adventuring but is scared of dying on the way. On her way home from school, she finds a black cat - and immediately trips and falls somewhere...
The next morning, she wakes up with no memory of what happened. All she knows is that her body aches all over, she has faint memories of a “portrait painted red”, the cat is still there...and she’s been given cat ears.
The cat assures her that now she has nine lives. The girl has to keep track of how many she has herself, but other than that...the world is hers.
Immediately, she goes on adventures, but people start noticing what’s going on, saying she’s changed. At that point, she accepts that dying is part of the experience, and ignores them completely.
Over time, the deity (still with her) encourages them to ‘mould their soul into their likeness’ and do madder and madder things. By now, the girl has used up many of her lives, but she seems to not care.
When the girl is on her ‘last life’, the deity reveals something to her: she didn’t just fall on the day she met the cat - she fell into a construction site.
The deity found her dying in the darkness, in the snow, with a concrete shell binding her rib cage and wrapped in plastic and wires.
The deity then brought her back to life, and erased her memory of the night’s events - just to see what would happen.
The girl, now completely desensitized to the idea of death and fixated on the last life she has to lose, brushes off the news. She goes for one last thrill, but, in the moments before she finally dies for good, she realises that her death in the construction site actually counted -
There was a certain death she failed to take into account.
WOW. nice job bro
I think that's actually it or atleast mostly it. It makes sense especially for the end bit "There was a certain death I failed to take into account"
I think that too
Kinda a dick move to count that as one of her lives since you erased that memory of her first death.
i mean, iznt that the point,, itz a trickster deity
GUMI, long hair and neko:
These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect VOCALOID song.
But Ferry intentionally added an extra ingredient to the concoction:
Suicidal masochism
And that only made the song better.
I agree with this. 👌
@@nightdog4183 same what?
@@justacringymakotoyukifangi8825 Op said that suicidal masochism made this song better, and i agree with this. I think i will change my comment.
And thus, The faulty feline philosophy was born! Using it's ultra super powers:

Masochism
And a cool beat
It has dedicated it's life to saving the day, from the forces of boredom!
You mean purrfect?
*_iMMEDIATELY STARTS WRITING DOWN LYRICS TO SING ALONG WITH_* I STG IF THIS ISN'T IN MY RANGE-
Karma KodomoVA MY HEART SAYS YES BUT MY VOCAL RANGE SCREECHES NO
I LOVE THIS THREAD
You could just octave down.
i mean its not as high as SOME vocaloid songs get so it's at least doable
WHY CANT I SING THIS HIGH????
fun fact: spicy food, peppers, evolved to be spicy so that they wouldnt be consumed by animals, and of course we Can eat it, but after some time it will kill our taste buds. She did sacrificed all the flavours as said in lyric.
o dang rip my taste buds
Capsaicin only triggers the heat-sensing receptors-so, even though your entire tongue may feel numb, your taste buds in fact remain unaffected. While spicy foods don't cause long-term tissue damage, it's possible to improve your spice tolerance over time by integrating more capsaicin into your diet in small doses
Plot twist: the song was about peppers
@@vk2336 oh cool my taste buds have been resurrected
Ooooohhhh so THAT'S how people actually eat spiciest peppers, they just don't feel spiciness as much as we do.
This song is basically if Puss in Boots didn't learn his lesson in the second movie.
YES
bro if I made an edit about this idea would u like it
Okie so here is what I think happens: A girl, (Gumi) is afraid of trying new things because of her anxiety over all the dangers that come with trying anything. She wishes to do stuff with her friends but is prevented because of her constant fear of death. However one day she has a near-death experience and was lucky enough to survive but was given a new obsession with living life on the edge. Because of her belief that she has more then one life to spend she continues to risk life and limb to feel excitement. However this backfires because she no longer has a sense of what is dangerous and what is safe, this causes her friends to leave her because of her change in personality and the fact that she won't listen to their warnings. However her luck ran out, she died trying to experience pure excitement, believing that dying was worth it. Anyway that is just my theory.
Edit: Thank you guys for 100 likes! I really appreciate it!
Edit 2: Oh my god 1000 likes! This is amazing thanks again guys!
I like this theory. :3
I agree with most of the theory but I have a question as she said her only purpose is to count lives what does that mean?
+Lim Xuan Kai
Cats are said to have 9 lives, so I guess when she talks about counting lives it means she counts the ones she "loses" the more she does dangerous things (I guess barely surviving could count as loosing one).
Hope I was of help ^^
Thx
You're welcome ^^
THIS IS REALLY GOOD
Hey I know you from your song 5AM and parasite and they are both really good ywy
I really like these lyrics! Great job!
AYYYY MCKIII
Mcki Robyns-P You need to cover this. Lol
Same there really good I love the lyrics
They we're made by someone else btw, thats why its a "Vocaloid Original"
Mcki Robyns-P I love that profile picture and I also love the song Submerged!
listens to first 10 seconds: This is a bop and I always click on your songs for That Spicy Punk Vibe
Rhea Lin I've just been called spicy
Now I can die a happy man
You're a spicy man, cannot be denied of it ovob
Keep up the good work!
I've noticed in older videos that the volume isn't really high even if I crank it all the way up, in comparison to other songs. May be something to look out for when recording?
Rhea Lin yeah, I get how that can be annoying! I guess I was afraid of it sounding earrapey with all the distorted guitars and whatnot hahah
Ferry have you gotten a soundcloud to upload the music to? I'd also like to jam to this on the bus without using wifi rip
Ferry and I wouldnt worry about the "earrapey" ness, maybe listening at a higher volume will also help with fine tuning?
even after 5 years, it's still so good damn
rel
alright so this is how i interpret this:
The singer is a girl who is afraid of death/pain, which prevents her from doing all the dangerous and risky things she wants to do.
It gets to a point where she sees danger in everything, causing her life to seem 'boring' because she's scared to do anything she thinks could end in her being hurt.
("It all began one dark winter morning / Back when life seemed so ungodly boring / Holding myself back from doing fun stuff / Dangers all around")
Then one day, a deity arrived in the form of a cat and blessed her with 9 lives. She immediately jumped at the opportunity to do all the things she wanted to do without worrying about the danger involved.
("That was when the cat came and I was blessed / For the first time, I felt pure excitement / At the limitless prospect of the mad / Adventures to be had")
I think most of the chorus is self-explanitory, but "If my flesh is torn to shreds / Then it's a worthy sacrifice" means that every time the girl loses a life, she's sacrificing it to the deity.
(ill talk about that more later *wink wink*)
The first time the girl loses a life, she panics so much that the deity themself has to return to reassure her that she's not actually dead yet, and that she'll wake up again unharmed.
However, along with this reassurance, the deity also allows the girl to catch a glimpse of her ultimate fate, which she will suffer once she dies for the 9th and final time.
("The pain is dulled by the deity's assurance / That was sure a curious occurrence / In my head, a picture of myself / A portrait painted red")
She wakes up completely unharmed, as if the previous death had never happened- just as the deity had promised. After learning that she is still alive, the girl realizes that that was all she was ever worried about losing: her own life.
("I woke up to see myself receding / Yet my heart was still alive and beating / That was everything I've ever needed / All my worries dead")
So now that she CAN lose her life without consequences (at least from her point of view), she gets more and more reckless, dying left and right but forgetting that she still only has a limited amount of lives.
All the people who knew her as a 'scaredy-cat' begin to notice her increasing carelessness and disapprove, trying to talk sense into her but failing as the girl knows she still has lives left to lose.
("The counter started ticking down / "You've really changed," they frown")
Eventually, the girl finally loses her 9th life. By then, she had forgotten how many she had to lose and didn't realize this was the last one, which is why she was still smiling.
Before she completely dies, the deity approaches her and tells her to kill them as well, explaining that her previous 9 lives will transfer into their soul.
("Glowing eyes tear through the shadows / In the night, she found me smiling / "Claw my heart out, dear mistress / Mold my soul into your likeness"")
The girl obeys, killing the deity and giving them her 9 lives. However, the reason the deity was able to come back wasn't only because of the newfound lives, but because they already had several other lives to lose.
This wasn't the first time the deity had granted lives to people who wanted them, and every time someone lost their final life, they told them the same thing: to kill them so that they could take the lives for themself.
Why? Because they were also afraid of death. Because they wanted to live forever. So they decided to work towards this goal by granting lives to people they sensed a fellow fear of death in, and taking them for their own use afterwards, which was to expand their lifespan.
After this, the girl dies for the final time, allowing the deity to be reborn.
("From the depths of my subconscious / She was born, chillingly silent")
The final chorus is the girl realizing the deity's true goal, right before she dies.
Along with being angry she was fooled by them, she is also angry because of how the deity is using all their lives - for their own selfish gain, simply so they can live as long as possible, and not for any reason that would adhere to the girl's philosophy about 'life's thrilling flavors.'
("What a cynical delusion / All of this turned out to be! / Disregarding any flavor / From the sour to the sweet")
Finally, she realizes that she had gotten too caught up in her newfound recklessness to ever acknowledge her fate- her fate after the death that would be her last.
("With my flesh all torn to shreds / I see the number tick to null / Looks like there was a certain death I failed to take / Into account.")
also i used they/them pronouns to refer to the deity, since when i tried to write it w the she/her pronouns that are used in the song it got confusing when i talked abt the girl + the deity in the same sentence ^^;
What do the lines 'concrete shell binding your ribcage/you were wrapped in plastic and wires' mean then?
Lolilicious I like to think of it her in the hospital recovering from the first death but that doesn’t fit with this theory so nvm
Lolilicious i think it has something to do with how she died the final time, since theres also the 'in the snow, perfectly lifeless' line, but idk what kind of death would involve all that so *shrug*
@@charuenthomas903 its referring to the cat a common way to despose of a dead cat is to put it in a plastic bag the wires are a reference to how she tied the bag up with them
This reminds me of a book I read about a boy that took 8 of nine of his cat’s lives and had them surgically put into him so he had nine lives but he did not care what he did so he lost those lives real quick but did not realize that he was on his last life so he decided to go skydiving... the parachute did not eject out of the pack so he plummeted into the earth never to be heard from again.
Books aside this is a really good song and your art style is great. ywy I have loved listening to your music because you are new and I like to change up what I listen to and your style is really unique compared to others like GHOST, Creep-P, and umberatic forest. Sorry for making this comment so long but at least that means I care enough to say anything anything about your mad skills. ;P
The fat Cat Umber doesn't make music...
Sorry it’s just that I listen to the covers that umber makes for songs. I also really like savagesoup’s cover of malheur de garçon a la mode.
What was the book called?
Carikachu 1 the 9 lives of Alexander baddenfeild is the title of the book
there's actually a different book about a boy who had 9 lives...:p
although he doesn't end up dying in the end, nonetheless, it's still a good book
the song's lyrics are stuck in my head someond help
Lyrics:
They say the cat was killed by his desire
To know more, a wish to enquire
Luckily this curious delinquent
Had a few more lives up her sleeve
It all began one dark winter morning
Back when life seemed so ungodly boring
Holding myself back from doing fun stuff
Dangers all around
That was when the cat came and I was blessed
For the first time I felt pure excitement
At the limitless prospect of the mad
Adventures to be had
The counter's set to number 9
I'm feeling so alive
And yet there is one thought that just keeps on
Repeating in my mind
Say what you want to me
But you will have to agree
Surely with ears like those I'd make for an
ADORABLE CORPSE
Why would I need your discretion
Laughing in the face of death
Life's a feast of thrilling flavours
But the spicy one's the best
If my flesh is torn to shreds
Then it's a worthy sacrifice
'Cause in the end the only real concern for me is
Counting lives
The pain is dulled by the deity's assurance
That was sure a curious occurance
In my head a picture of myself
A PORTRAIT PAINTED RED
I woke up to see myself receding
Yet my heart was still alive and beating
That was everything I've ever needed
All my worries dead
The counter started ticking down
You've really changed, they frown
And yet there's still that thought that just keeps on
Repeating even now
Say what you want to me
But you will have to agree
Surely with ears like those I've made for an
ADORABLE CORPSE
Why would I need your discretion
Laughing in the face of death
Life's a feast of thrilling flavours
But the spicy one's the best
If my flesh is torn to shreds
Then it's a worthy sacrifice
'Cause in the end the only real concern for me is
Counting lives
Glowing eyes tear through the shadows
In the night she found me smiling
Claw my heart out, dear mistress
Mold my soul into your likeness
From the depths of my subconscious
She was born, chillingly silent
I have found you there in the darkness
In the snow, perfectly lifeless
Concrete shell binding your ribcage
You were wrapped in plastic and wires
You have found me there in the darkness
In the snow, perfectly lifeless
You have found me there in the darkness
In the snow
Why would I need your discretion
Laughing in the face of death
Life's a feast of thrilling flavours
But the spicy one's the best
If my flesh is torn to shreds
Then it's a worthy sacrifice
'Cause in the end the only real concern for me is
Counting lives
What a cynical delusion
All of this turned out to be
Disregarding any flavour
From the sour to the sweet
With my flesh all torn to shreds
I see the number tick to null
I guess there was a certain death
I failed to take into account
There are already lyrics in the video...
Sheesh no need to get defensive. I was pointing it out because I was confused, usually when someone writes the lyrics it's either because there are no lyrics in the vid, or because the lyrics can't be seen clearly.

Hi Ferry!
This is honestly the best song you've produced yet. yet. You're getting better at mixing and tuning! I've always thought you've had amazing lyrical ability, but the mixing and beat is repetitive. It's getting better though. My only critique is that you shouldn't be afraid to mix notes! Having the same sound gets repetitive. Don't get caught in the cycle of a lot of ENG producers, having the same repetitive sound in every song. You have the makings of a great producer. I can't wait to see where you go from here! 💕
Nagisa thank you so much! I was actually thinking about diversifying my songs recently, switching up the instrumentals a bit more and whatnot. I guess I'm a bit afraid of different parts of a song sounding out of place? Idk
In any case, I'll definitely try to experiment with my mixing and instrumentals more!
I know this is disregarding your comment, but K I L L U A

I see this more as poetry than music. This is morbid and really gives me food for thought. I wish more people wrote music in this way.
I've learned that he is Russian (or at least russian-speaking)and everything started making sense. In Russia(I include Ukraine and other states that were parts of Russian empire/soviet union)we've always had really rich poetry and lots of talented dramaturgs. Most of their creations are extremely depressing and explore heavy topics (death, suicide etc). We learn about them since we are very young and inherit some of this depressing emotions from our ancestors. Futhermore, the majority of music in russian is depressing as fuck) Hope i cleared it up a bit.
Upd. He is from Belarus.
@vanillaminaduki6055 I'm not Russian, I'm Belarusian. Don't label Ukraine, Belarus, or any other post-soviet states as Russia, it's disrespectful as fuck. Same thing as saying India is England because the British Empire was a thing.
@@ferry2943 i am not labelling anything. I just mean Russian-speaking states that have mutual heritage with russia. During times when Russian classics were written every one of them were parts of Russia. I recognise sovereignty an cultural integrity of post-soviet states and don't mean to insult anyone. I assumed that you are from Belarus because of your CZcams profile. I am sorry if i've offended you. If needed i'll take down the comment. I was writing it during an insomnia episode anyway, so i could've messed up even more shit.
Upd. Just wanted to admire your lyrics and my tired brain saw parallels with the spirit Of Russian classics.
Oh that's fine, sorry for misinterpreting your comment and taking it in bad faith in that case. My content just tends to attract Russian nationalist types because of the slavic theming, so I assumed the worst from the phrasing. Either way, I'm glad you enjoy my lyrics and appreciate your kind words, thank you for clearing things up.
@@ferry2943 Рад, что мы поняли друг друга). Я еще в обновлении 1 коментария вспомнил, что Вы из Беларуси и подписал это в Upd. Еще раз извиняюсь за возможные неприятности и желаю успехов в дальнейшем творчестве.
It took me WAY too long to realise what the 'certain death I failed to take into account' was. Like, I though it was a "woops, being super cool sure made me forget how to count!", but I think its the death of the self? Cus she's changed so much due to her new power?? Or maybe I'm really bad at analysis (yes).
I assume it's the first life lost
i think it was because she died before she was brought back and given nine lives but didn't realize that counted
I've only just recently found this song, but I immediately fell in love with it, so much so that I wrote an entire theatre monologue based on the so-called "cat deity" portrayed to have found Gumi! I love seeing all the different interpretations here too, so here's mine:
The Cat Deity is a symbol for many things; when I first heard this song, I though it was about how power corrupts people and turns them into someone different completely, though I've also seen people say that the Deity symbolizes passion, being carefree, or just general freedom. I find that the nine lives Gumi is given are her chances left before she turns to ruin. Every time she experiences her "death", she finds it to be temporary, and is then desensitized and takes advantage of her so-called immortality. She takes caution not to slip too much, but eventually looses sight of her initial goal, burdened by the love of life she acquired. Deep inside, she knows she has already gone too far, and that it's only a matter of time before she's ruined. In the end, she realizes that the offer by the Deity was never a gift, but rather a curse, which was the very "death [she] failed to take into account."

По идее я сейчас должен находиться в тильте(как обычно происходит с песнями вокалоидов, где гг в конце умирает), но в конце она так мило улыбается без доли отчаяния(может с нотками сожаления из-за "Пренебрежения другими вкусами"), что я рад за неё. это взгляд "главное, что было весело, а на остальное пофиг "❤❤❤
She speaks of death like death incarnate hence a cat with 9 lives counting 😉
I literally cry this is so catchy?????? And good????????? Keep doing your thing this is SO!!!! JDJFJDJFA
I also like the traffic aesthetic 👌👌👌 v v blessed
Okay, here's my interpretation: A girl is terrified of death until one winter day, something happens and she dies. She's brought back to life by a cat of some kind, who grants her 9 more lives. However, her new power to essentially resurrect herself causes her personality to change, making her reckless and a thrill-seeker because she knows she'll survive no matter what, and she distances herself from her friends and family. This comes to a head when she's on her second-to-last life, which causes her to lose a life and die in her next crazy idea. Looking back, she realizes that there was one death she failed to take into account: the death of the "old her" as she changed due to her nine lives.

so basically she wanted to live out and discover more to life and she died seems like a good way to live
'She had a few more lives up her sleeve' and 'The counter's set to number 9' means that this uses the bug where, in Super Mario Bros. 1, that live counter ACTUALLY gives you one more life.

This kind of reminds me of my supervillain character - who is also female and miracously _also_ has a cat theme.
Her motivation basically boils down to doing weird/daring shit having fun (or "fun" in some circumstances), which ranges from harmless to self-destructive to villainous depending on the scenario.
Как же песни Ferry прекрасны, я могу переслушивать их бесконечно
This song is really good! Nice instrumentals, well written lyrics and an interesting story!
The signs in the background remind me of Mekakucity Actor/ Kagerou Project.
That said, what a great song with English GUMI! I really enjoyed it!
Came for the signs, stayed for the everything. Subbed.
YOU my friend is very nice! I have a creepy knack for messed up vocaloid and YOUUUUU will be someone i'll be lookin out for! keep it up ferry!
This is awesome! :D
:0 it’s you !!
On the spectrum of Gumi that I've listened to this falls nearer to Kira than Ghost and I love it. I will keep up to date!
If this were to be performed, use cat clocks but on the tummies being counters, first verse they continously count down from nine, second they just show random numbers between 1-9, and in the final verse nothing but question marks. During the music after the final lines maybe slowly count down to zero, then the clocks still to facing forward. Idk just a random 3am thought
I wish I could get my hands on more of those versions of the character other than the thumbnail
god I love the design and artstyle so much
This is so good❤ I love everything, from the music and lyrics to the pv and the character!!
I freaking thought this was actually related to Kagerou Project/Mekakucity Actors since
1. The signs
2. Somewhat the color scheme
3. Basically since there’s a cat related-stuff into it
BUT ANYWAYS THIS IS AMAZING OMG
She counted with 9 but have 8 lives because she died 1 count on start
HHHHHH this is a BOP
From what I can tell a girl died in a traffic accident and was given nine lives by a cat deity and proceeded to do tons of that would have killed her, she got more and more extreme and her friends abandoned her. At her last life she realized that her first death was also counted, and as she was dying she realized she had forgotten all the subtle joys of life.
It was a really good decision to subscribe! Your songs are amazing,and I can listen to them all day long
Thank you for creating your art. It's really awesome
I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH THIS
I LITERALLY CANT STOP LISTENING
Hnn… You thank me for watching? Обоюдно! I am not certain you can imagine how many times I've watched this and how much fun I am having seeing this every time. I've honestly come back every year since the release partly because I can relate to the theme and… my background but I don't think I should talk about that here.
The pleasure was all mine watching and I am sure so many viewers alike can agree! May the best of luck accompany you on this journey!
I’m not sure if you guys know this, but there is a particular disease one can get from cats that causes more extreme risk taking behavior and a lack of concern about physical consequences called Toxoplasma, or “Cat Parasite.” The ‘she’ that the protagonist is referring to is probably the parasite.
I learned this from Hello Charlotte haha
SKY COLOR
Blue: safe , keep going
Yellow: be careful!!!!
Red: stop!!
this is such an amazing song??? i’m blown away by your style of music. it’s so catchy, i’m sending this to almost everyone i know-
Finally sat down and watched this. It's so good!
You are Russian right? Your English is better then some speakers here. Your word play is perfect!
idk if its intentional or not but the theme of traffic signs + black cat reminds me of heat haze days and im living for it
I'm a few years late here but HOLY HELL was this amazing! Can't say I've ever decided I like a song faster than when I found this, hats off to you
A BO P
Damn, I am so into the way you work those lyrics
This song is just amazing and nostalgic to me!
✨💫⭐️🌟
Какие же топовые трэки, Найс, мое уважение
WOAH i love your style!!
IM YELLING, THIS SLAPS!!!!! the lyrics are so intelligent and fun to sing, i love !!!!
I love this song so much
For some reason, I got chills down my spine
It was perfect, keep up the good work
i've been so addicted to this song for the last couple of days
I am very late to this, but this sounds like a song generally centered around addictions.
Many addicts will engage themselves in the activity although recognizing its danger for that shortly lasting hit of dopamine they get, the pleasurable feeling fills the gaps in their life.
It adds "spice" to it, it breaks the monotony of it, even if, by engaging in this, they are risking their own health.
In short, even though they recognize the danger, the addiction grants them a form of meaning to their life.
this is.... a god-tier bop.
Accidentally found this song, i can't stop listening to it! It's so great!!
Man, I adore the instrumental :o
Amazing as usual. Maybe even better than usual. Love the PV, and I really like your style in music!
Everything about this is rad omg 👏👏👏👏
Oh my god! I absolutely love the lyrics and the tuning.
The instrumental is amazing and the art style is adorable.. Not a big fan of Gumi but that could change bcuz of this video. Keep making videos :O
Did not think I'd listen to it so much but here I am
same
M-mess? NAH M8 THIS IS A HOLY BOP. Omfgwhyareyousogood
hffgffdude you're too nice:')
I think that "certain death" she failed to take into account was becoming dead to someone.
There's someone warning her and disapproving her actions, telling her she's changed. But doesn't care and throws her lives away.
On her last life, this person could have saved her, but decided to just let her die since she's already dead to them.
Hence why this realization only happens as she dies for the final time.
OOF ive been listening to all your songs nonstop since this one came out!! please keep creating music, all of your songs are so catchy
You have such a nice grasp of melodies! Love this song!
thank you youtube recs for actually working
