Lyrics
Taken by surprise,
I can't forget that day
Shaken back to life,
A second chance too late
Something in your eyes that tells me it's okay
Something in my mind that walks the other way
Fan the flame, don't let me fade away
Pick me up, sew me up, fill my lungs with a name
Mold me to whatever can be of use,
Alter fate, give me strength, give me life I won't lose
Is forever
Long enough for you to answer my prayer?
Can I ever
Save a single soul that you've left severed?
At the edge of the afterlife
Call my name, open up my eyes
Everything has a purpose, right?
Wake me up when you've found mine
Every time I close my eyes, I'm
Haunted by the things inside, I've
Tried to live that tired life,
I've tried to run I've tried to hide
At the edge of the afterlife
Call my name, open up my eyes
Everything has a purpose, right?
Wake me up when you've found mine
Touch my heart and watch me fall apart
I'm afraid of this place, I don't know where to start
What am I? There's something starving inside
Bitter cries spewing spite, screaming into the night
「All the rage that you caged inside me
All the pain that I can't keep hiding
This life I died to find;
A curse I can't untwine
Is it fate that we're always fighting?
Tear away at the faith I'm finding
My worthless purpose cries,
I want to feel alive」
At the end of the afterlife,
Was it all even worth my time?
Second chances are blessings, right?
Take it back, I don't want mine!
Even on the other side, I
Still can't find the point of life, I've
Seen the pain inside your eyes, I've
Seen you pray, I've seen you cry
"At the end of the afterlife,
Was it all even worth my time?
Second chances are blessings, right?
Take it back, I don't want mine!"
This heart that beats inside
- A reason for life
Not gonna run this time
- Opening my eyes
A second chance to fight
- A muddy skyline
Dripping into the night
- The tears that I've cried
Every time I close my eyes, I'm
Haunted by the things inside, I've
Tried to live that tired life,
I've tried to run I've tried to hide
At the edge of the afterlife
Call my name, open up my eyes
Everything has a purpose, right?
Wake me up when you've found mine
Everything has a purpose, right?
I think it's time that I've found mine - Hudba

Hi
its a great song to say the very least
Is there an instrumental version we can listen to? 👀
Did Trickle kidnapped Eve animator 😭🙏
👁👄👁
the animation is too good 😭😭
Yea how is the animation so good?
@@user-gu1pf6xn7o Nezzu is literally just a prodigy... So happy to have gotten to work together!
LMAO
I was in charge of animating the music video, thanks for having me 😋
working together was A BLAST!! keep up the good work Trickle!!
Thank YOU for working with me!
You are such an incredible artist and I literally could not have done this without you...🙇♂💙
The style really fits the theme of the music and is just overall done really really well. 10/10 would watch again
Your animation is so fucking good, you totally nailed it
The animation is incredible!! I’ve been pausing and rewinding so much the past couple days since there’s so much detail packed it! I love your style, I can’t imagine how long it must’ve taken for this FPS!!
Your work was legendary!! You and Trickle work so well together!! 💯💯
WE'RE STAYING IN THE GHOST TOWN WITH THIS ONE‼️‼️‼️‼️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
HAHAHAHA most lore-accurate comment yet 🤣
@@Trickle_OfficialDo I smell LORE?!??!!? Gotta edit my theory comment again real quick-
@@oof9762 Ah, yes, lore. The magnet to all the lore enjoyers of anything lol
Thanks for having me, it was a pleasure doing the music for this one! You rock💙
Bro the pleasure was ALL mine! Literally couldn't have done this without you, man, thank you so much!!! I'm convinced that you're one of the most talented musicians alive... Insane work and berserker work ethic!!
@@Trickle_Officialyou are such a cool person :D i inspire to be like you! God bless you
Oh my gosh the “Where am I…You’re home” gave me freaking chills.
Let me use the term “respect” in its proper way.
(I speak for my future self)
Mad respect for Trickle, 7 months for the song that just made my day :)
Edit: my future prediction was 100%right
what times was that at?
What timestamp?
It was in the preview trailer- you can watch it here ^^

This is so incredible, I'm gonna cry. Only three people are responsible for this work of art, that's insane. The music arrangement is at such a high level, I guess Jonathan is a professional at this, everything sounds perfect. The art in the movie is such emotional, it gives goosebumps and really matches with every line of the songs. Eve's animators are going to have a competitor. And Trickle-san. First things first, this work wouldn't be here without you, second - goddamn, what. a. VOICE. Third - the lyrics. It's heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. Keeping in mind your faith background, they're getting even more interesting and personal. I thank everyone for their hard work, guys, you're truly amazing!
THIS IS TOO SWEET, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I'm honored that we could make something that means so much to you 💙
Trickle is the Eve of English songs, you cannot deny. You can listen over and over again and not get bored. I love how at the start it slowly grow intense and softer, and just lets all the anger inside, escape.
I don't know how but listening to this song is like watching a emotinal movie just... Its just so awesome!
This relates to my life so much and it touches me deep down.. This song will be my reason, reason to enjoy life
You know what I kinda agree with you in the sense that his songs have so much replay value like Eve.
But based on his voice alone, I think he’s closer to MafuMafu’s sound
You better be careful with that title, you're one letter away from a depressing story game.
Hahaha, man I still need to play that game... Maybe I'll stream it!!
You mean… 2 letters?
2 letters off
I have a theory; in the intro, it shows Trickle (as a character) in the water, which might mean (as a character), he might be dead and was reincarnated in the Ghost Town with Shoku bound to his body. I could be wrong though 🙃
You hit the nail on the head!!
@@Trickle_Official I guess being a lore enthusiast pays off lol.
If your original songs keep being bangers like this I'll have no choice but to monetarily support you because DAMNNN I'd love seeing more of these!
Hahaha, thank you so much for watching! I am so happy that you enjoyed! I always give it my all.
It's available everywhere for streaming, too!
As a Christian who has battled with bulimia for almost 15 years and only recently began working on trying to recover after many failed attempts at doing so, thank you. This is a reassuring song.
God bless you man. I hope you managed to recover and are doing better! The fact that you were able to be here listening at this time I think meant God was really trying to tell you something you needed to hear. Be safe. ❤
My favourite part is whenever Trickle sang "at the edge of the afterlife" IT FEELS SO SO SOOOOOO!!! I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE IT!?!? THE VOCAL RANGE (IDK WHAT'S THAT) IT FEELS SOOOOOO SATISFIED TO HEAR 😭 TRICKLE I'M NOW ONE OF YOUR FANS AFTER SO LONG STALKING YOUR COVERS 😫😥✨⭐
1:00 and 1:30
Right? I really like that part too ‼️
Wow... I loved the beat, the piano... The way you were able to push and pull the music was amazing! I loved how you used a softer voice for more of this song, really making the louder emotions shine. I loved the symbolism, and how much sorrow and hope can be found under all the glowing creativity. I was simply smiling at the end of it because it felt so real, despite being an animated MV for a song. When I say "real," I mean that the feelings and struggles portrayed in this song were really powerful, and I thought it was a wonderful addition to your other two works, which also capture this element wonderfully. Congratulations on your several major accomplishments over the past few months, and you and your community will continue to be in my prayers. God bless! ^^
THIS IS TOO SWEET, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I'm honored that I could make something that means so much to you 💙
After 3 weeks of this being out, I can confidently say that this is my favorite song ever made. Thank you so much for making this, it came out at the perfect time for me!
WOW, what a huge compliment- thank you!!
I agree, this song is one of Trickle's best.
This song is INCREDIBLE. We finally got another Trickle original, and you made sure it was well worth the wait. Thank you, and phenomenal job!
Haha, thank you so much for watching! I am so happy that you enjoyed!
It's available everywhere for streaming, too!
Omfgawd this was awesome!!, you can hear and see the passion of everyone involved it's a blast!, i love the lyrics coz a lot of people can relate to them no matter what background you come from, i know i certainly can.
I can't lie the art for shoku here is cute, that happy smile is sho kute.
THAT PUN, HELP, HAHAHA!!
SO CLOSE!! Trickles original songs always feel so much more special than his covers, (even though I love them all) his original songs always make me happy.
TRICKLE. TRICKLE. TRICKLE!!!! SERIOUSLY you have completely outdone yourself with this one!! The vocals are just SO SO SO INSANELY GOOD and the lyrics genuinely made me want to cry. Every single person on this team did such a stellar job, the animator was so fantastic and the music was just so so good and emotional and perfect. IM SO SO EXCITED AND SO HAPPY THIS HAS FINALLY ARRIVED IM NEVER GONNA STOP LISTENING TO THIS!!!!❤❤❤❤
I keep coming back to this omg it’s so good😭😭your range is insane dude
Haha, thank you!!
Trickle, you never fail to amaze me. The lyrics of Omamori have struck me far more than I expected- I have been dealing with some very rough times, and listening to this song has really given me time to think about the bigger picture. "I think it's time that I've found mine." Is such a beautiful way of closing such a heartfelt message, with a truly hopeful look into life that otherwise has made us think we don't deserve the second chances given to us. In truth, giving ourselves to God and letting Him give us that chance, the strength that we need to push on, is so beautiful that oftentimes we doubt if we deserve His love, but He does it anyways and I think parts of this song really highlight that.
I had been starting to falter in my own faith because of my tough life circumstances, but I am starting to look at the brighter side, and I believe that I can rely on Him to seek a better life and make Him proud, I will work hard. Through your music I have found a little bit of that "purpose" and no words can really help me describe it. I can only wish I was a bit more knowledgeable on music to comment on the genuine quality of this song, but unfortunately I can only say it sounds, looks, and feels amazing haha.
Thank you, truly, for this song, I will continue supporting you, as will many, and we look forward to seeing you grow even more. God bless you Trickle! I wish everyone a very blessed day. ❤❤❤
I feel the same way too:,) I also have a rough faith life and there are times I just feel senses of shame and guilt but I remember how god saved me from so many things, helped me out in difficult situations, and seen me cry so many times. The people I met in my life that bring me sense of joy , happiness and laughter are the reasons are I keep on moving forward , gifts from god :) purpose for me. God taught me to see life in a different light too :) Thank you Trickle for this song, God bless❤
@@natellago7173 Keep your head up, friend! I completely understand where you are coming from. As humans, we will never be perfect and we will always sin no matter how hard we try. It can be difficult to accept that, and it can bring a lot of shame and frustration, but I keep in mind that Jesus died for our sins so that we can one day live with God too! I will keep you in my thoughts, friend, I pray that God continues to send you people and opportunities that make you happy and that you have health always. 🙏🏼❤️ God bless you and have a wonderful day ahead of you.
@@leonsyrxpTysm 🥲. I will do my best to keep you in mind too ! God bless!
trickle im giving you my life savings holy shit this is amazing
*slams fists down on table* I LOVE THIS! i just couldn't stop watching (despite my grandma trying to talk to me LOL) because everything felt so captivating. this song deserves to explode so much it's so good !!!! thank you trickle for serving us this amazing gourmet food once more
Awwww, thank you so much!!
(It sounds to me like your grandma isn't subscribed... Shoku would like to have a word with her.)
3:44 reminds me of the Omori art style. This is super cool and I really really love this!!!
(OMG THAT FREAKING SMILE AT THE END KS SO ADORABLE AND AHHH EVERYTHING IS JUST SO AWESOME!!)
This was an amazing song and i love it so much, "second chances are blessings right?" is gonna stay in my mind forever, i loved each second of it 10/10
I thought that said omori…
I have no words for how amazing this is but I'll try! I myself have struggled with depression and this series captures it so fucking well. I've seen a lot of people try to capture what it's like to be so deep in depression but this is by far the best. This isn't you trying to capture the feeling of depression, this is you succeeding. Most of all, I'm glad to hear you found something that helped ease something so painful. I hope you're doing a lot better and continue to stay/get better!
Thank you so much, I'm happy that my song could touch your heart 💙
The drawing style and song made me chill and died❤
hu tao
Hello
I was already enjoying this absolute banger but when the chorus hit I just couldn't
I also especially love 2:29, I dont know how to explain it, perhaps the raw feel of your voice at that part?
This song is awesome!! I can't wait for you next original ^^
boy oh boy is that a list of characters featured? the trickle lore… it’s so close i can smell it
two new characters too, if trickle and ghost town guy are separate (which i think they are, since canon trickle is shown in this mv along with ghost town guy)
Guess you'll be getting some answers soon ^^
@@Trickle_Official specifically 20~ish hours soon!!!
Homunculus is still my favorite and when I saw him I was baffled.
oh my god I'm SCREAMING this was totally not what I was expecting it's SO MUCH BETTER your voice fits these more atmospheric songs so well!!! And of course the music video is actually so beautiful ajkhfskjhsdf I'm literally going to start recording a cover right now jkdhfksdjhfksjh
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Good luck, and have fun!! I LOVE your voice, so I look forward to hearing you sing it :D
@@Trickle_Official OH MY GOD I’m actually screaming TYSM!!!! I actually really look up to you so it means a lot
I've been a fan of Trickle for so long, it's incredible to see him come so far. His music is a light for me.
7 months in development and all the sudden just two days away! I can't wait ❤
I’ve been looping this since I woke up this morning, all day at school I had a headphone in listening to this, and now I finally got a chance to watch the MV and holy crap man, this is FIRE
At some point I’ll probably try to analyze this MV and pick out anything I can manage but for now, the art is amazing, the vocals are snapped, this whole thing is just AWESOME, I LOVE IT
The emotions you put into this piece are beautiful
And I really like the references to Homunculus (at least I think they are) with
'Pick me up, sew me up, fill my lungs with a name
Mold me to whatever can be of use,'
Except in Homunculus they're 'molding' themselves with their own hands and in Omamori they are asking someone else to do it
There's also this cameo on 2:05!
But overall, brilliant song!! I really loved it
This blew me away completely. I've always always been someone who just enjoys music for the beat and likes a good upbeat song to vibe to. But the punch of this song and the hook just grabbed me so well and bled the message straight through to my ears. Love this from start to finish; it's an actual masterpiece what you've made here.
This is absolutely everything authentic about you, and I'm so glad it came together so perfectly. The rhythm, the vocals, the video, the message, it's all 100% top tier Trickle. Gonna have this on repeat for weeks. Captivating stuff. You RULE.
Man, you've got me tearing up... I am so happy that my song could reach you!
Thank you so much for the support and kind words!! YOU rule 💙
AHH! The new original cover is so cool Trickle. The animation, singing, lyrics are all so well done! Im loving the way the song flows, 3:27 - 4:26 Gave me goosebumps, YOU KILLED THE HIGH NOTE! I cannot express how much I love this song ww, definitely one of my favourites now. The short scenes with references to your other original songs are cool aswell! Your big inspiration for this song is really meaningful. THANK YOU SO MUCH TRICKLE!! THANK YOU TO NEZZU ASWELL!
I like to hear non English music because they do stuff like that hehe
AAAA I CANT WAIT!! Your original songs are always my favourites! I’ll try my best to be there for the premiere :D 🎉
I still remember first hearing Homunculus and thinking of mafumafu, now I mainly listen to your covers and especially origianls, love them all haha
Thank you so much, I am so honored to hear me and Mafu in the same sentence QQ
@@Trickle_Official Personally I like your covers more, because you also do the deeper voices and not mainly the higher pitches, so it just covers everything I want haha, if I feel like hearing deeper voices I can still hear them all from your channel, with that said, best I can offer you is a "Good Job!" from a random person on the internet haha, recommended you to a few of my friends too
勉強する時に聞いてます！😊
no words, everything here was crafted so wonderfully
your lyricism goes so hard, the instrumental paints the atmosphere so perfectly, the haunting but capitvating visuals!!!!
and wtf were those NOTES you hit at the end dude?
absolutely crazy, thank you for this!!
Haha, thank you so much for watching! I am so happy that you enjoyed!
It's available everywhere for streaming, too!
AA I CANT WAIT the trailer seems so cool!!
Thank you for this, Trickle. This song really hits deep. ❤
This is absolutely amazing!! The story shown through the visuals as well as the lyrics. It was a perfect sequel to Ghost Town!
SO HAPPY!!! RISE TRICKLE FANS, WE SHALL NOW AWAIT FOR OMAMORI!!! 💙
This animation is giving some combination between omori and to your eternity and I’m totally here for it.
Oh. My. Word. Any song of yours is amazing, but my favourites are your original ones. The animation is SO good, and the music flows so well too. The lyrics, the singing are so incredible I can't really put it into words. I struggle to find good songs that I not only enjoy listening to but also help me in writing stories, and this hits the spot so well. Gonna go listen to this a lot more
Words cannot describe how awesome this is. Something this powerful could only have come from within. Massive props to jonathan parecki and ne_zzu; this looks and sounds freaking amazing!!!
Something I noticed while listening to this song on repeat, is in the background what I interpreted as bells and railway stop light sounds are playing, signifying death and the choices you have to make drawing near
I’m really late to this upload, but I love how Trickle puts a lot of effort into making original music as well as adding lore into them too! This song’s a banger btw! Keep up the hard work 👍!
a few other artist I know do this
Rare Americans put all the music in the same universe l
like one song cuts up photos from other MVs due to that songs theme
ive never rlly gotten goosebumps from music but this song-
This song has so much emotion and it’s so good. I can feel all the emotion with each word and the song itself just has so much power behind it.
Wow. The way it goes from a despairing cry, to a joyous one; broken from loss, to embracing the things we have left. Idk if that’s how you intended, but it was really inspiring for me, so thanks 💛
That's exactly what I was going for! I'm so happy my song could resonate with you :)
@@Trickle_Official Thank YOU for writing it 💙
It doesn't happen often that I love a song from the first listen, You created something truly special, Trickle! ❤
The long awaited original song is out! And like everyone has said it's amazing Trickle! Everyone did an amazing job like I seriously can't discredit ANYONE here, your vocals, music arrangements, sfx, and mv.
Now onto the theories I'm sure you've been looking forward to seeing;
I'd like to through out first I have zero idea what Limon is doing here or what he represents so until we get more lore. However seeing as this is the underworld it's possible that he's here because of his nightmares or maybe he failed to shake off his sense of insecurity calling himself a "worthless homunculus" and he tried to end it all and ended up in this place. My reason for this is the use of "second chance" in the lyrics and how uhhh Trickle (I don't think you've given him a name yet, and he's basically your Avatar lol) tries to end it all in the beginning but ends up in the underworld, which isn't death yet but an in-between, Trickle clearly is scared- the first sign of the desire to live. Later on, we begin to see his Omamori, protective charm, kicks up born from the hunger to live which is also made reference to in the lyrics "There's something starving inside" and "My worthless purpose cries, I want to feel alive". The Omamori takes a literal form which is on his stomach as that second mouth which begins to eat away at everything because Trickle had gotten sick of hiding, sick of repressing enotions and made to fear, his emotions couldn't be bottled up anymore and they had to come out.
We eventually see a more unhinged version of Trickle which I think is the Omamori at it's full possession, it has become Trickle to protect him and I say this because as soon as Omamori Trickle looks at a puddle the possession is immediately broken and he returns back to normal meaning he wasn't really himself evidently shown by the unreadable lyrics in the MV
After regaining his senses he's empty and wants to let go again till he realizes he's gonna keep fighting, then winds back at a train station where he's ready to return back to living again.
Oh and I believe the thing he keeps seeing whenever he closes his eyes are his own bottled up emotions that he had refused to face all this time which is one of the things that led to his acceptance of his second chance which again is remarked by the lyrics!
And that's pretty much all I gathered from the MV, it was pretty fun to go back and listen to while checking the lyrics while looking out for visual cues that gave off any hints too cause I noticed the Omamori one reaaally early and it was cool!
THIS IS AMAZING!!??!?! Out of all the songs I've listened to, there's just something special about this one. The lyrics and rhythm have an absolutely phenomenal amount of emotion, it just hits an inexplainable feeling in my soul and I can't stop listening to it now. Not to mention the stunning animation!! Amazing work, more people need to see this! I've been obsessively playing this on loop since the day it released and I don't know if this is healthy
Thank you so much for the excitement and encouragement, this really means a lot to me! I'm happy I could write something that means so much to you 💙
These lyrycs mean alot to me, thank you for this masterpiece
I can't put into words how much love was put into this song. thank you for giving us this masterpiece
And thank YOU for watching :)
This deserves a lot more views come on!!!
Haha, thanks, I'm grateful for each one!!
Animation on this one is insane
AS SOMEONE IN LOVE WITH YOUR ABINATIONS I AM SOOO HAPPY YOU LIKE MY MV 🙇🏼♂️💙
@@Trickle_Official ahhhhh they r are so cool and fit your songs really well! I love your original songs 🥹
This one's going straight to the playlist! Huge props to everyone who made it happen 💙
holy SHIT THIS IS AMAZING?????? OHHHHH MY GOD IM SOO DISAPPOINTED I MISSED THE PREMIERE THIS IS INCREDIBLE!! LITERALLY EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS. AAUAUAUAUAAGH AMAZING INCREDIBLE!! TRICKLE U HAVE DONE IT AGAIN!!!! ANOTHER SONG TO REPLAY FOR YEARS ON END 💪
First watch theories!
It seems like the ghost town is literal, now with the lyrics “at the end of the afterlife”
The character in the video seemed to start transforming into one of those creatures, so potentially spending too much time in the ghost town distorts you? This would also make sense with homunculus in which “I realised in my last life that I hate the light”
Brilliant song! Can’t wait to see more
I love reading theories, thank you for posting this comment!!
This is truly a masterpiece. I’ve listened to this so many times already, and I’m amazed by the amount of detail and emotion in this piece. I’ve been really interested in the story since you released Ghost Town, but now I can say I’m truly invested and eager to see what awaits in the future of the Ghost Town project! I honestly believe this is the greatest thing Trickle has produced yet. As much as I love Homunculus and your cover of Yobanashi Deceive, Omamori takes the cake! From the lyrics and vocals building this world and story to Jonathan’s arrangement and Nezzu’s animation, this is truly a piece of art!
I’m going to attempt to piece together a possible story so far. However, since there are currently only three songs in Ghost Town, I’m probably very, VERY far off. Forgive me. I’ll be making guesses regarding matching the names to characters, as well. I’ll be calling the blue eyed protagonist Trickle.
Trickle’s character, I’ll just say Trickle, felt lost and alone. I’m not sure if in Ghost Town he’s actually a ghost (who previously died by drowning) or if he’s alive but doesn’t feel like it (having tried to live a mundane life despite being tired of feeling worthless and lonely, and thinking it’s too late to change his situation). But, whichever it is, he felt unimportant and depressed, resulting in jumping off of a building to end his own life.
Despite his views and intentions, an entity I’ll call Shoku (unsure that I’m matching up the names right 😓) decided to bring him back within a sort of spirit world. This flame-shaped spirit lives within Trickle, restarting his heart and waking him up while he’s in the other world. Somewhere between dead and alive, Trickle is given a second chance but doesn’t understand why.
Shoku isn’t just doing good deeds, however, and likely has his own motives. I think it’s some kind of symbiotic or even parasitic relationship, where Shoku is sealed within Trickle but is hungry and wants out. When released (the hoodie being unzipped), Shoku is able to take control and unleash his own power through Trickle’s body. You can tell that Shoku is in control by the yellow eyes.
This is probably pretty draining though, particularly on Trickle’s mental health, as he fosters a monster inside him that’s always hungry and wanting to be let out. Not only that, but the life he threw away came back like a boomerang hitting him over the head. He didn’t want another chance, so why is he still here? What purpose could he have left?
At first, Trickle is afraid of this strange, unfamiliar world. He doesn’t want to be there, so he refuses help from the conductor and tries to run away. He just wants to sleep it all away, and tries to just keep running and hiding, but he can’t escape what’s within him nor the world he’s in.
He eventually has to learn how to accept the hand he’s been given. He still doesn’t know what the reason for his revival is, but he’s going to find his own reason to live instead of waiting for some purpose to find him. He finds the kind conductor again, this time ready to live (and possibly getting along with Shoku).
I also want to note that an Omamori is a talisman believed to ward off evil spirits or bring its carrier fortune. You can see an Omamori in Trickle’s hair, bearing Shoku’s symbol. These symbols are all over his clothing, as well. Possibly sealing Shoku within the clothing’s confines, or protecting Trickle from him? Also, Omamori are typically sold at Buddhist temples or Shinto shrines.
Shoku’s name relates to food in Japan. It can mean “eating”, as both the act of eating and the culture surrounding eating meals in Japan. “Subscribe or I’ll eat you!” is certainly no empty threat when it comes to Shoku… better subscribe to Trickle!! (Shōkū was also the name of a monk that founded the Seizan branch of Buddhism, though that’s probably unrelated)
Again, this is all just a theory. I have no clue how much if any of this is right, but it’s been fun to try and break down the MV and song to piece this together! This truly is a remarkable piece, I’m looking forward to anything you do next! To anyone who read through all this speculation, have a wonderful day! 💕
Edit: broke up the text some more for easier viewing
I am just speechless... You are SO observant and smart, Reese!! I cannot wait to post more originals just to see what you have to analyze and say haha! Thank you for posting such an in-depth comment- I do not want to personally confirm/deny anything because I just love seeing what you guys will come up with without my input, but I am just astounded by your work here!! Had a great time reading this ^^
@@Trickle_Official You flatter me, thank you for your kind words! I had a lot of fun trying to dissect the MV since the song is just incredible.
I’m really interested in how the worldbuilding in this is gonna go since it appears to be gt!Trickle’s 3rd life if I’m reading this right (I’m leaning on 3 now rather than metaphorical death for the first life, mostly due to parts of the MVs- like the 3 rectangles shown at one point where the third has the Omamori/Shoku symbol). I’m also really curious about where Limon will fit into this, he’s a fun character! I kinda figured you wouldn’t be confirming or denying stuff since that would spoil things, but I’m glad you took the time to read all that and are interested in my analysis! I’m looking forward to trying to figure out the next original, whenever it may be, and I hope you have a great day!
this gets catchier and catchier the more you listen to it
Giving me literal goosebumps bro 😭 trickle is rly on something else, these originals hit so hard ❤
bro this was SO good! animation was great, loved the homonculus cameo
vocals sorta gave me that teenage 2000's band nostalgia with that high registry
honestly could say so much more but TLDR: crazy good, major props for everyone involved
Hahahaha, I can hear that XD
Thank you so much, Jonathan and Nezzu really went berserk on this one!!
i really REALLY wish i had watched this as soon as it came out but i was busy and have been putting it off until now and i am blown away . ur og songs r so nice and i love all of them !!!! keep being so cool :3
No worries, I'm glad you could watch it at all!!
Nothing like crying to a song at 1:00am in the morning. This is the best meaningful song I've heard in such a long time. I loved to hear that your Christian, too. I'm Catholic, but I know they are very similar. I watched this earlier today with my sister, because I knew she would want to see this too. I was so excited for this, and she was too. THIS IS AN AWESOME SONG! You put so much emotion in to this and I could feel it. This hits deep. Thank you so much for creating this awesome and meaningful song! I was literally jumping up and down when I saw that your were coming out with a new song. Once again, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CREATING THIS!
add it on to the long list of hey suicide is bad songs with somewhat Asian style visuals
after about 24 hours of listening to this near non-stop, i can say with 100% certainty that this is my #1 favorite song. the song, vocals, and especially the mv are all top tier and im so excited to see where all of this leads ❤
everything here was so perfect, genuinely got shivers
the animation and lyrics actually go crazy
An absolute banger of a song, the animation the lyrics and music, everything was done so well.
Now I'm gonna go and repeat this song on loop for about 2 hours.
Literally gave me chills hearing the first words 😭😭
