      That's ignorance and hypocrisy trying to win over wisdom and sincerity. The make up is the disguise of ourselves we do in front of people. Our "social self". We never show up who we really are. When you stop trying to please people all the time and start being honest with yourself, it's the time the joker on you will try to take back control, and you have to be strong not to let it.

      Scrabbling to maintain his existence before he’s left behind.
      He’s a self-aware facade facing his own mortality and doing everything in his dwindled power to hold on.
      From begging, to vainly trying to hold back the reality and finally breaking down in despair before he’s washed away.
      Ironic really considering that this character used to be the king of the ball back in Daze.

      @Frank: Echoing your view here but I think audiences need to be more discerning and STOP tuning into their local terrestrial radio stations which have become notorious for featuring a narrow selection of music on repeat for the last 20 years (at least in the US). There are plenty of online radio stations that play music by Poets Of The Fall. In fact, a bunch of pop music fans (as opposed to fans of rock) have discovered the music of Poets Of The Fall on our online radio broadcast and have fallen in love with these guys. As for this album, we wish these guys had led with a radio edit of "Revelations" as opposed to "Requiem" (although it is a good song).

    To those interested in the Tarot Cards, they're specifically the French version called tarot de Marseille. The first card is The Fool(ou le Mat), second is Death, third is The Magician(ou le Bateleur). Interestingly, The Fool is typically card 0, but in TDM has no number and Death, card 13, is also known as "Arcane sans nom" (arcana with no name). The Fool can mean the start of a new adventure, while Death can mean the end of something or rest/taking a break. The Magician means power, skillfulness, potential(meeting it?). Perhaps a reference to the fact that Clearview, Ultraviolet and Ghostlight are supposed to be a trilogy?

      EDIT: I AM A NOVICE AND THE REST OF THIS COMMENT IS MISGUIDED. I left it here for context.
      The Magician represents earning power and meeting potential.
      The _Inverted_ Magician represents unearned power and squandered potential.
      On that note, never trust a Tarot reader that doesn't shuffle the deck in a way that allows the cards to be inverted.

    The clip is a bright mini-performance, a Buffoonery with a touch of tragedy: the main character, an actor, attempts to get rid of his insane character.
    The composition is powerful, a kind of whirlwind of passions and emotions that tear the hero apart. Harlequin's make-up mask has grown tightly to his face, Harlequin is no longer just a character, he has become part of his personality ("I've got this madman in my mind..." - Drama for Life), but claims to be more. Harlequin - or Alichino - is a demon who needs the whole soul entirely...

    The three tarots at 3:49 follow the meaning of the song. If my tarot-reading knowledge is worth any salt, the three represent the past, the present and the future.
    The Fool represents innocence, new beginnings, hope and the such. It also means inexperience and naivety. Being green, with all the consequences that it entails.
    Death is not necessarily death as we know it: it can mean illness, separation, but also change. Like, radical change. Crisis, an end, failure also falls into the spectrum of meanings.
    The Magician stands to depict how one can be free to choose every direction, or needs to, even. The magician arcana is about talent, resources, being determined and the such.
    Many others can understand the lyrics' deeper meaning better than I do, and already explained so. They pertain to the struggle of letting go of something, or someone, that simply cannot fit in your life and go towards a new beginning. I did not happen to see any comments regarding the tarots, so I just thought about adding this to the pile.
    Great song, of course. The video, the acting, they are all icing on the cake. I myself am currently struggling with life choices and the dread of going nowhere, so this strikes a chord with me. I'm still the harlequin behind the mirror, trying to re-apply make-up that part of me wants to get rid of. Hope y'all fare better.

    "Requiem for my Harlequin" --- "A song of remembrance for the one who brings me joy and amusement"

      That's interesting, I interpreted it as having a more positive connotation. Like saying goodby to foolishness and facade and embracing clarity and truth. But I think It might, in some ways, be a little of both as truth often hurts more than lies.

      In one sense it can be to let go of the daydream for reality.

      Is it better to live in a daydream with the innocence of fools? Or to face the truth and put aside the masks, to be who we are?

      @@chiffmonkey While I'm not a reader myself, I do know the interpretations of the cards he was given:
      The Fool (Either unnumbered or zero) represents a new beginning, often a leap of faith; The Fool travels to a new land, bringing with him only the clothes on his back. When reversed, it indicates it is something one should be hesitant about jumping into, as recklessness on this journey may end it early, it may also represent a lack of the faith needed to be successful in this new endeavor. Either way, the beginning of something is inevitable.
      Death (thirteen) Is the card that is often feared out of superstition (explaining his reaction), however, a reader will/should never try and predict deaths. Often this card refers to death in the sense of transformation; death of an old idea gives life to a new one, it can be difficult, unexpected, terrific or terrible. The main takeaway is that to attempt to avoid this change will only make the current issues at hand worse, which is what it's reversed form represents. It can mean that one is having trouble letting go of the past, death can haunt us all, but holding on to grief only prolongs the pain.
      The Magician (one) represents willpower, representing someone who has gained the skills and abilities needed to be successful in their endeavors. Often this means that one must use their will, focus, and intellect to achieve your goals as they present themselves. When reversed, it means a lack of that clarity, that someone can use your skill and ability for their own selfish desires, it is a caution to tread lightly around those who are cunning and deceiving, perhaps even that cunning person you need to watch out for is yourself.
      Do take that all with a grain of salt, as it is only my basic understanding of the cards, but I hope it's accurate enough to explain how the symbology of their music lines up with these three particular cards. I know I found it fascinating.

Regardless of the inherent meaning, this is another absolute banger of a song and I adore it!

    What an excellent song. Love this band! Poets of the Fall is such an artistic and creative band, yet their compositions are so precise and tight. I remember being a casual fan about ten years ago, but with each song my admiration of them continues to grow. Aside from the great music, it's got to be said that not many bands can take a great song and somehow make it better after the listener becomes a viewer. In other words, when I listen to Poets of the Fall, the masterpieces that are their music videos play in my mind which makes the listening experience even more intriguing. Then of course, there's the fact that these videos and characters are linked which becomes an even more intriguing and inspiring experience.

    Here's to the fall of man, fame to dust
    To fortune, to sand
    The great surrender finally arrived
    [Chorus]
    This is how the requiem loves the harlequin
    Wake up, your chains are porcelain
    Like a phoenix from the ashes we will rise again
    This is what the requiem loves to hear you sing
    To the beat of your fool hеart hammering
    One more timе, we'll cry into the night again, woah
    [Post-Chorus]
    (Woah, woah!)
    (Woah, yeah!)
    (Woah, woah!)
    [Verse 2]
    This is a requiem for the comedian
    The one who used to deftly dodge in time
    You cut a sparkling gem, never heeding the warning
    Of the silver glint of knives in hungry eyes
    This is how the requiem loves the harlequin
    Wake up, your chains are porcelain
    Like a phoenix from the ashes we will rise again
    This is what the requiem loves to hear you sing
    To the beat of your fool heart hammering
    One more time, we'll cry into the night again, woah
    [Post-Chorus]
    (Woah, woah!)
    (Woah, yeah!)
    (Woah, woah!)
    [Bridge]
    So how does it feel now?
    Tell me can you let it go?
    The wrong you can't undo
    So how does it feel now?
    Tell me can, you let it go?
    The wrong you can't undo
    [Chorus]
    This how the requiem loves the harlequin
    Breaking up this heart of porcelain
    From the ashes we will rise again
    This is what the requiem loves to hear you sing
    To the beat of your fool heart hammering
    One more time, we'll cry into the night again
    This is how the requiem loves a harlequin
    Wake up, your chains are porcelain

      I guess it's a typo, yet "deer" instead of "dear" makes this sentence 10000% more entertaining xD

      That's the best part of the Poets. Their new songs still appeal to the old fans, and their old stuff still feels good to listen to even today. Glad you found these guys!

    Can't believe it's been 2 years since this release already. 😲
    Hopefully we'll get another few videos from Ghoslight after the "Old Gods of Asgard" album! 🤗🥰

    The ending always makes me introspect. I always ask myself why can’t I, like Marko, stop indulging in the madness? When will I let go of those negative emotions within me and finally say I am done, just like Marko does. Top notch acting that.
