  • Taken from Before The Dawn Heals Us, M83’s third studio album, and perhaps the one that catapulted their success in North America. Lauded by Spin as one of 2005’s Next Big Things, with glowing press from Billboard, Entertainment Weekly, Vice, Pitchfork and a myriad of other publications, M83 saw their first major television commercial with “Don't Save Us From The Flames” featured in a Pontiac ad. 2005 also saw M83 perform at the prestigious Lollapalooza, Coachella, Austin City Limits, and headlining KEXP’s Benefit Concert in Seattle.

    This song puts me to sleep when I was carrying my first child. It's like an instant lullaby that my baby and I appreciate. Unfortunately, 5 months in, miscarriage happened and I still listen to this every night and I know my baby girl is too. Thank you for this gentle piece of memory that I can live in over and over again. Love.

    This song celebrates the beauty of things that end. Simple as that. It can be death, a relationship that didn't work in the end, a son leaving their parents house to make his own path... It celebrates the closure of things that, directly or not, starts another cycle, until itself comes to an end. And it is beatiful because, celebrating things that end means celebrating everything. Everything starts from a ending.

      indeed, but it's also a reminder that life is death itself, a pain that might overcome us, or make stronger to accept the duality of the world and life itself, it's hard but we will make it through.

      Thank you for your words. I lost my Mom last December and M83 music has been incredibly emotive to me. I am a kid of the 1980s, like Anthony, and there is such a deep presence of the sprite and joy of that decade. His play with vocals and long rich tapestry of sounds just calls me back there. I am trying to be positive and think of the new things that lay ahead for me in life, things that she will, no doubt help me do from her new home in heaven.

    Never in my entire life has a song so moved me as this one has. It has carried me through some of the roughest times in my life, losing my brother, feeling alone and lost. This song touches you deep in your very heart and soul and pulls you out of whatever darkness you may be sinking into. This song reminds me what it means to live and to love, to feel and to simply be. These words definitely don't do this song justice, for emotions such as those stirred by music such as this simply cannot be defined. What this song means...you just feel it, deep inside. Your soul smiles, your heart glows. You're one with life and love and everything around you. This song is the universe holding your hand and telling you that everything is going to be okay...because you are loved.
    Thanks M83. For giving life to this ethereal and exquisite piece of music, and for sharing it with the world.

    The first time I heard this song was about a decade ago. I was watching the Top Gear Vietnam special and as the sun set on the beautiful country of Vietnam a small section of this song played. I never knew the song, but remember the feeling it gave me. Utterly content and blissful. I watched it again for the first time recently and I heard the song again and I felt exactly the same 10 years on.
    This time, due to the advancements we’ve made in 10 years, I could Shazam the song and find this full length masterpiece. It’s taken me 10 years to hear the full song, and it was worth every moment waiting.

    The edge of oblivion smiled back at me,
    Familiar and mocking.
    Recognition rising from soul memory,
    I’ve been here before.
    “…depths so dark not even the dead can escape.”
    I test the waters with a gloved hand.
    Cold.
    Void of feeling.
    An emptiness so elegant in design one can only stare in wonder at the creator’s mastery of time and space.
    Another finger, a chill down my spine.
    The pressure builds and I know what comes next.
    Those eyes know what comes next too.
    A sense of dread washes over my broken body.
    I’ve always hated this part.
    My bones ache with a sacred pain as I immerse my whole body in a single motion.
    The coldness is mind numbing.
    The pressure unbearable to my fragile frame.
    The darkness begs to be broken.
    I fall without time or direction.
    An endless, tumbling waltz through utter blackness.
    Thoughts pass into formlessness.
    Worlds end and I know nothing more.

    What does everyone else take from the video? Even since I started listening to M83 in 2008, I've thought of them VERY deeply as like, existentially awake. This video makes me think of how like, there are so many REAL people who these types of things happen to (car accidents, shootings, disasters, whatever). But somehow, how its just business as usual for the universe, and for this crazy experience called life, which is SO much bigger than us... which IS us... that we will all too have our time... but that the universe and life and the process making all this possible will continue on... for fucking eternity

    I think the title indicates an acceptance of demise. The term "Lower" implies a gentle, calm closing of one's eyes, and the latter part of the title just gives away that someone is accepting death.
    The video first shows us a pulsating light, and it gets us questioning what it may be. Time is just ticking on, with the "tick" sound being repeated at the beginning. This just seems like the universe is moving on like normal. Little do we know, the light we once thought was benign and non-significant, it turned out to be headlights from a car that hits the viewer so abruptly, just as life does with us all. There is a visual and musical shift here, signifying the said major life event happening. The music gets much more chaotic, and goes from just the "tick" sound to a much more hectic cadence of sounds and instruments, showing how our lives become hectic and chaotic when a major life event hits us. It's amazing how they showed this through sounds, with absolutely no lyrics.
    The videos of test dummys were just to establish what exactly was happening, to explain the purpose of the man and woman soaring through the darkness.
    The man and woman obviously got in a car accident together, and the consistent shots of them are proof of that. As the video progresses, however, it shows them getting closer and closer, reaching out for one another, showing how they are falling (okay literally flying) together, because all they have ever wanted is each other. The final shot of them portrays them holding each other's faces, staring at one another. This is a visual and musical shift in the song, which then segues into the final portion of the song, which gets rid of the drums and just has the harmonious pitch in the background with a few other minor sounds. This leads into the denouement of the song, which is also representative of the resolution of life, as the chaos that erupted initially - fades.
    The lights at the end represent the man and the woman. They were separated as individuals, as there are two lights, both different colors. They join together after about a minute of them being apart, showing how they remained together even in the afterlife, and upon merging, they moved on with the rest of the (what seem to be) stars, because the universe moves on without people all the time. When a loss occurs, people are affected, chaos erupts, but everyone moves on, just as the final shot shows. The stars shown that pass them by can either be all of those who also met their demise in the universe, or it can be representative of the beginning of a life together.
    The two lights in the final scene, when merging, can also be the symbolic replacement of the man in the woman in the video. The video makes it kinda clear that they die, as the crash looks horrific for about six minutes. The lights binding together can be two individuals uniting, forming a couple. Once they merge, they may also be interpreted as joining the rest of the world, moving forward in life together, ready to find themselves in a similar situation that the couple in the video found themselves in - a fatal incident.
    Overall, I think the video focuses on the concept of life, which is that we will face struggles, we will fall, but we must regroup and join the universe once again. The video shows a death caused by an accident, but it can be holistically speaking to the aforementioned process of life. We die, we fall, but if we can, we rise, and we join society, who has long moved on from our downfall. Without a single word uttered in this song, I think it reinforces my theory of what this whole song and video means. No words can capture what it is like to lose, or be lost. Hence, a harmonious tune, a tragic scene, and a final beautiful shot of colorful lights does its best to encapsulate such an intricate, solemn topic.
    This song is so beautiful, and has gotten me through the worst of times. For those of you that stumble upon this in 2018 and years past that, let me know what you think if you read through this entirely. I have so much fun analyzing songs, and I hope someone else out there has a unique (or same) perception they would like to share.

    My theory is that a couple got into a car crash. You can tell it's a car because you can see shattered glass, gasoline, and sideview mirrors.
    Also, I would guess that the couple is from the mid 20th century. Because, back then you could go flying out of a windshield and winshield glass could shatter. Nowadays we have better car safety. Also, they showed some old car crash test clips so that could also elude to the time being older than today.
    But, it could be modern day too because the "tik" sounds could represent texting sounds. Either way, it's a beautiful song with some beautiful cinematography. They definitely know what they're doing. The represented a couple's final moments into a beautiful end and new beginning.

    It's so beautiful yet so tragic. That haunting image of the couple looking into each others eyes as they reach out to each other for the last time.... A song of pure heartache and longing.

    This song makes me think of the angels praising God in heaven endlessly…Glory glory glory to the lamb who is and was and will always be!!!

    My brother played me this song as we drove across the rolling hills of Montana on the trip of a lifetime. That moment will be with me forever

    this is the best comment section I have ever seen, some people are so loving and others don't hate ever, that's what I like to see no hate no discrimination no problems, thank all of you guys out there with zero hate, that's how this world should be that's how all of us should be in our short lives, no matter if we have no affect even, to all haters out there embrace the words of the kind and loving so you don't hate anymore stop being angry at the world for something so small and enjoy your lives while your here, I know im a furry and all but why hate, some of us may never know why people hate, but that means your a great person.

    i listen to m83 since a long time now, but just a few songs... today, i decided to listen to their full discography, because i realised how much i loved their work and how much it was beautiful. i saw the title of this music, and i knew it would be... something i couldn’t describe. and it was. actually, it was too much things. as i listened to the music, i read the comments, and i cried. it’s amazing what this song make people feel, what it gives them. there a lot of different feelings and images, but it was always powerful, kindly, beautiful, reassuring, and human. it’s literaly the best comment section of youtube. and i love this song and m83 so much. i’m a bit sad that i didn’t realise earlier how amazing they are, and how much i love their songs and music. thank you M83 and all the people in the comments ✨ (sorry for my english)

    This is magical and takes you to a place like no other. I was diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety last year and really thought that was it for me. Listening to music like this gives me hope for the future and makes you reassess what is important in life and makes life worth living again. Thank you M83 for giving us this emotional rollercoaster with your music and for being a part of my life.
