[VOLUME WARNING] DM DOKURO - the confusion of being human
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ส.ค. 2024
- a track from "They Know Who They Are" - the inner mind tears apart when trust as a concept begins to lose meaning after having been wasted countless times before by many people you once looked up to. The unraveling begins as soon as you start questioning what every encounter with them was all for.
it gets even worse when you had to mentally survive to appease them.
perhaps they didn't care. that, or they remain silent from thinking they can't do anything about it. either way, even this violent rumination goes ignored
and once again, the dread takes away what little instance of hope was given.
Synthesizer V voices used: Ritchy & Mai
Transcription of the freeze frames at 1:38:
- You're talking to yourself again.
- How is this helpful in anyway?
- This isn't therapy
- This is an *echo chamber* .
- Things that only *you* want to hear.
- Sights that only *you* want to see.
- Never even looking to the *TRUTH* :
- *YOU NEED HELP* .
Does this have to do with "them" "who know who they are"?
@@AnaGD I feel a really strong connection to "Still here", a consequence of "They know who they are" events
@BesteresPT ah yes. I got this too cuz the similiar melodies and the drums are used in that album as well. So yeah, you're probably right
This resonates with me so much dude
This background imagery... it... honestly makes me imagine a visit to a therapist. You're trying your best to tell what's on your mind, what's troubling you. They seemingly understand it, and they start talking about your problems.
But... the thing is, you're finding it hard to even trust your feelings. What if all those emotions aren't what they look like? What if I'm just faking it? What if I'm getting it all wrong?.. Those countless what-ifs pile up on each other, burying the truth underneath.
And, at the end of your appointment, therapist gives you prescriptions and recommendations, probably something about trying to see things in a different light. Maybe, when you leave their cabinet, those words make you feel a little better. Maybe it isn't too bad, maybe there is hope..
...but it turns out to be a lie you've told yourself, and after some time your state worsens, emotions and negativity overwhelm you. That's what the last minutes of imagery make me feel.
right? as much as it is a necessity, talking to therapists has always been a struggle for me bc i don't even know how i'm feeling. if what i perceive as sadness or anger in myself is actually that, or just another mask.
alexithymia, bruh.
This song hits on so many personal levels for me. Especially right now, where another person and I are taking a huge risk together that might end sour. Thank you, man.
whatever risk it is, i hope it works out, and even if it doesn't, i hope you will still be okay.
WE NEED UPDATES.
Decided to transcribe as much of this as I can for the people who wanna decipher what it means, there could still be messages that I missed after this, but idk.
Would've used the letters present above their heads at the beginning, but idk if those are supposed to be names or not. (I'm also lazy and don't want to redo it)
> is for the person upside down
< is for the person rightside up.
>: What do you think "trust" means to you?
Thanks
wow. a great conversation
Happy person and frowny person
Being human is perhaps the most confusing thing there is. Ironically enough, in understanding the world around us far more than anything else we share the planet with, we end up knowing just how little we know, whereas our contemporaries are at a blissful ignorance of such uncertainties.
this song definitely has a deeper meaning than the others in this album. The human can no longer see a reason to trust others after being betrayed. but the reflection sees things from a different angle and thinks the others are inheritably good. overall its just them questioning themselves, trying to make sense of anything rather than fixing the problem, destroying any hope left
#relatable

Though that is a valid interpretation I disagree. I see this a reflection builds a foundation of hope, this entire world, and everything we have, all that we've ever become. As a people... the reason we have everything we do now, is because people came together, defined survival of the fittest, miners mine metals, scientists made plastic and engineered and in the end, we made phones to connect us. Personal connections in ways that we can't now. But found a world to make the world better than our individual selves... that means something
I'm not preaching, or at least trying not to. This lack of hope in others, this betrayal of his own judgment. Means he needs to rebuild trust in himself. Reevaluating how he feels how and why he trusts. That is how you rebuild. Trust in yourself.
You don't seem to be preaching, man. I don't entirely agree, but I do agree with the pure sentiment.
There is still light in the world.
Finding help is necessary, but there are a lot of steps to recognizing that you need it.
I think this song has describe an experience to what I have gone before.
I onced commented on DM Dokuro video that I study in a boarding school for disabled children that have a lot of weird stirct rules and regulations that got me into a situation where I got into a place that I don't want to be. Because of this I put all of my trust into the teachers so that. Once I have become a part of this place. I will not make trouble for anyone. Be a good student, work hard, study well, help people that needed help along the way. But I begin to realize. This is not what I wanted to be.
I don't want to be people pleaser. I don't want to be near people all the time. let alone disabled screaming children. I don't want to just be there so someone could just use me to go do someon elses work.
No I don't want to just go make bed for kids who will litterally pee and make a mess everyday over and over again. It's just tiring, I want to go do somethingelse that are more productive than useful than just smelling pee and poop.
And not just that. I don't want to just lie to people anymore that hey. I'm a human being. You can't just expect me to just do everything at the same time at once. I can't just study. Take care of stubborn kids that won't listen to what you say and scream all day. While also wasting time on time wasting taskes. While also trying to always speak something along the lines of " I will do this someday in the future sir" when I litterally can't because of how everything this school is structered!
There are litterally teachers want to exploit me here! There was even one time where I have to do personal work of his while I didn't even realized it.
Not all Teachers and adults are bad people though. There are geneuinely good teachers at my school. Flawed and disabled yes. But they are the way they are. What I'm saying is
The stuff that some of the adults that they have said or done. Are directly or indirectly hurting the students or making everything worse one way or another!
There was one time. My principle said "Our students started learning coding in Python C++ and javascript at the age of 3 in our class" meanwhile most of the students can't even read or write or speak english! let alone speak normal local languages
You get the idea of how things are going right here in my situation. What I experienced was just absolute torture for me. It might not be a lot for someone but it was for me.
I don't want to overwork my self just please someone anymore. I can't really trust everyone even if they look good on the surface. You can't really trust everything.
I don't want to live in a place where I have to lie to the teachers that I'm fine I'm not tired when I really am. Stay in the place where I have to listen to screaming children. all day
I'm sorry if I'm rambling like nonsense about my personal life here but. The song just made me realize how much my life is like the meaning of this song.
My mind is tearing apart when I begin to realize how the idea of eveything that I know of begin to become meaningless by so many adults that I thought I could look up to but they hurt me instead directly or indirectly. Along side with other types of things that could have been avoided but didn't because of either negligence or rules that were made by adults that don't think of the consequence. Making me think what I have met them or what I have done for them was all for?
And not only that there are times when I have to just talk my way out just to please them So I could be "A good student"
Either that they don't know they don't care or don't think of what are the consequences of it eiher way. The actions have been done. And the damage was made.
With that the things that I have gone through create a dread that how much things I have lost. How much time events things that were made and unable to be undone. Leaving me nothing but grief in return.
I wish a time where I don't have to suffer through all the bad things that have happended to me so I could be happier and not suffer through all the things that have had happend. Things that could have been avoided so I don't have to be suffering like what I am right now.
But all of that are fantasy. My best guess now is to just focus on graduating from this place so I don't have to be someone elses tool to be used again. So I could be free. Not having to worry over everything any longer.
Let's hope one day I leave this place. I will tell all of you how my life was after all of this is over.
Mayby once I get into university. Things would be better or worse. Which are something out of my control.
Thank you Dm Dokuro for sharing your feelings with us.
It's a pleasure to have someone that have the same feeling as I am. That I now know
I wasn't alone
Thank you for everything
None of us are alone, even if we may feel we are. I hope things start looking up for you.
The sentiment is nice but the “there are genuinely good teachers at my school. *Flawed and disabled yes, but they are the way they are”* is throwing me for a loop for being so… _seemingly blatantly ableist_ lmao??
uh, a lot of text, I don't care
so sorry you're going through that, but keep pushing on and you can get through it. take care :>
@@uwuuwu9013why even reply then?
the amount of emotion that DM Dokuro can evoke through music is absolutely incredible
He has immense power
This album has probably been my favorite project you’ve worked on. I’ve been interested in your recent breakcore songs and this is probably my favorite breakcore song you’ve made. Hell, it’s probably one of my favorite songs you’ve made. I love how the songs in this album seem to connect to each other, and whether it’s intentional or not, I love how the long chords in the background sound like embers, which is the next song in the album.
oh it’s ABSOLUTELY intentional. he did this in embers as well to lead to bacteriophage
@@crimson-foxtwitch2581 Yeah that’s when I started looking for this stuff. This is why Dokuro is my favorite music artist.
I was waiting for this since the dm dokuro Christmas special
Legit one of my favorite songs so far, alongside still here and keep walking
I hate myself for not being able to put what I really feel from your music here but
Thank you Dokuro, thanks for letting us hear your amazing n beautiful work, your music already took a place in my life and heart
Another breathtaking piece that hits people where it's relatable...
I will say from experience... Trust for me is something that was fragile and easily broken... So... For the longest time... I grew cold towards others... Became hateful towards myself for ever believing in promises that never were fulfilled... Feeling betrayed, by not only those who lied directly to my face... But by myself for trying to find meaning to these lies...
Trust was, and still is to a lesser extent, dead to me... How are you supposed to trust others when you can't even trust yourself... I felt worthless, and grew more hateful towards myself for such worthlessness...
I thought I was alone...
Up until rather recently... About a year ago now...
I speak not flattery nor lies, only the truth...
A series of music had begun production... And in listening to the first of such pieces released... That barrier which I'd put around myself began to crack... And for the first time in a long...
I began to feel something that wasn't nothing again...
For the first time in a long time...
I didn't feel alone...
I felt that it seemed that everyone has their own struggles, tho deep down I'd already known that... I was finally able to accept it...
Over a year later... And the series of music is now half-complete... much Longer than the much more pessimistic me of the past thought I'd last...
I still have a long way to go before I'm even remotely close to "alright"...
Then again... When were we, humanity, ever alright?
Thank you so much, Dokuro...
Even if it might not seem like much to you sometimes, and sometimes when you doubt that your music has an effect on people...
Just remember... You and your music have saved me, and I can almost guarantee that I'm not the only one...
We... Are not alone :' )
how useless
Nobody is completely alone while in this world. Stay strong.
WE MAKIN IT OUTTA EXISTENTIAL TORMENT WITH THIS ONE 🗣🔥🔥🔥
Not DM dokuro. Because when he is making music is because he is in existencial torment
Wow! The drum and bass are amazing. What a trippy experience! Has me wondering where the conversation came from for context. Thanks for making more music! We love it 😄
this feels like one of those things that echoes in the back of your head. the longer its been there the more distorted it gets, eventually you lose sight of what it really means but its still there. its always there
As someone who has dealt with sadness, like we all have, this song shows that hope always exists.
The emotional tension that was building up from the start up to the release at 5:00 was surreal.
The whole song felt like one powerful storm that kept gaining speed until suddenly disappearing at the 5:00 mark.
Brilliant!
Perhaps… to be human is to not always act logically, and to understand that other humans will do the same. To not have a boundless supply of hope is part of humanity. To have that hope falter is proof. To need the right people around you to restore that hope is part of humanity. To need others in order to restore that faith in yourself is humanity.
I haven’t been around these days, but I hope I can help affirm your humanity and heal that capacity to hope. Even if it’s by a small amount.
As mechanical as you might feel at times, don’t lose sight of what you truly are. I certainly know I am the same way sometimes.
Having not gone through anything you may have, I don't find it appropriate to offer words of encouragement, that's just "The Beacon" all over again. AllI can really say is...
I hope you still enjoy making your music as much as we enjoy listening to it.
Because this album is gold.
i'll continue to make music. if i love music, i create it. if i hate music, i create something out of the hatred. if i feel like i want to stop, i'll be reminded of a world that never understood how to handle me in the first place.
i can hold as much resentment as i do with things that will continue to overshadow the new stuff, but either i suck it up and continue creating music, or walk away for good and seek "greener pastures," as would a sane and dignified human being.
@@DMDOKURO I see. Reminds me of "Keep Walking" in a way.
I have no real way of describing this experience right now, but, just, FUCK. Not only is the music absolutely wonderful, but the visuals are also CRAZY, not to mention the lyrics which bring back kinda fucked memories, but still. Shit's wild man, big ups!
that bass is catchy as hell, GOD DAMN THIS MUSIC IS GOOD.
it still amazes me how much detail goes into the design and detail of not only the music but the visuals too, its so refreshing to see such passionate detail into something.
This song hits home for me on so many levels, whether it be the constant talk to yourself or the confusion on what’s going to happen next. Truly a masterpiece
I could talk about the existentialism of being human, how confusing and patternless it is
but everyone else is doing that, this beat slaps hard
This song about sums up about how i feel right now. A friend of mine recently asked to talk to me about something, then opens up with how they dont want to be friends with me anymore and can't deal with me and my attitude anymore. They started listing all these things that i was "wrong" for, as well as critiquing how i treated another friend. Long story short, they just made assumptions about things, misunderstood other things, and didn't know all the information. They regret what they said and apologized, but the fact that they didn't come to ask about anything to clarify, and had been so prepared to just get rid of me, they had made up their own narrative in their head, and were so fixated on it that they wouldn't try to see any other persepctive. I've known them for about a year, and yet they still didn't seem to value our friendship at all. Thank you for writing a song to explain my thoughts. Love your work, keep it up.
If you're reading this, you know who you are. Know that while i have forgiven you, its going to take some time for me to not feel hurt by all this.
This can easily be interpreted as a person talking to himself, as its said around 1:38.
Left is the negative thoughts stuff in life makes you think. Right is the stuff you know you should think and tell yourself.
As a quite wise man (even though he wouldn't say the same) once said: "Whenever you let go of something, it haunts you"
Sometimes we don't trust anyone to talk about these things. Sometimes not even ourselves. But theres trust out there that we should embrace and be vulnerable. Not just with others, but with your inner voice.
I could write an extensive long ass comment on how close this hits home but this is already long, so I'll just summarize as "You're not alone out there."
TH-cam unsubscribed me shortly after the beacon, it seems, because HOLY SHIT this is a masterpiece. How did I miss this? This brings me right back to the first time I listened to "we had good times together, don't forget that." I somewhat resonate with the messages within this piece. You think you know someone, huh? Time and unrealistic expectations for you to be immaculate, flawless in every way, tends to do relationships dirty. You let down your facade, slip up, stumble and fall and expect them to catch you, and then the radio goes silent. Makes you wonder whether they ever wanted to see you as you are. Maybe they were just as confused as you, but not brave enough to admit their own faults. Regardless, they're gone, and that hope you had that times would change with them around burns a hole deep within.
We had good times together, and I'm never going to forget that. The fault lies not with the individual, but the collective ignorance we shared about our expectations, our patience.
I miss her.
...that derailed, didn't it? But it felt good, writing.
I think I understand what Dokuro was trying to say with this.
I haven't heard deafening noises this emotional since Sewerslvt's last album.
The sewerslut vibes are off the charts rn. Also I really love the motif of two conflicting voices you’ve been using in this song and “I’m still here” which I believe is your best work. Ps I would love to see the return of coffee breaks, they were a very interesting look into the creative process of an artist who is very cryptic and vague.
>volume warning
>on a DM DOKURO song
>puts it on full blast anyway
this sign cant stop me because i cant read
edit: This is fucking Heavenly oh my god
But my ears is bleeding...
@@did1066 a small price to pay
i love the part at 5:30
the mic of sounds make it so they blend together to make a chaotic yet calm melody and its amazing
And this one. This piece got me doing mental gymnastics, even though I don't have the perfect words to describe the feeling I will try my best.
The irony in the fact that I've been a part of doing this to someone else that I also holded dear but can also relate deeply to the feeling I get from it is quite fascinating to me, but as of now, all I can do to express how or why it tickles my brain so much is because of how trust is pretty much the same as hope, as the song explicitly says. I agree.
But It's also part of the reason for which you get upset, even if you always feared and expected the outcome of that trust being broken and abused by the second party for their attempt of a benefit. It's almost impulsive. Funnily enough it feels safer when it has to be rationalized to work properly just to go back to point 0
They say once trust is broken, it's gone forever. Luckly, the ability to try again isn't like that.
Once you're at the bottom, the only way forward is up. But the bottom doesn't have to be all dark and gloomy. If you can stand and look up, you'll see the light of hope up there.
With a new path to pursuit!
The worst part is it isn't what other people tell me. It's what I tell myself
this album has already shaped up to be my favorite work from you so far
always happy to see a dm dokuro upload
A conversation of reality. Whether falling or recovering, will always have a light.
the buildup at 4:50 just got me. keep up the work dokuro, you don't disappoint
Once again, Dok blows my mind. And my eardrums.
probably one of the best albums ever...too much emotional charge and I really appreciate the existence of this particular album... thank you
It is fascinating how much of a message you can put in one single track. ...Just wow
I swear, with every upload from you, it makes me more and more glad I'm subbed. Amazing work!
i cant wait for this album, this sounds so amazing already.
Oh my god this is so good. Probably my second favourite behind keep walking.
this is the first time I ever actually shed a tear from music.
There are no words to describe how good this is
"words fail to describe" 😳
Words fail to describe how much I love this entire album, but this song and the beacon are undoubtedly my favorites so far. They feel like a very different style from the others in the album, but in a good way, like a prelude to something bigger.
They both end simular
You move my soul with your music, tapping into the deepest emotional reserves I had buried in myself a long time ago and making me resonate on a very existential level.
Thank you, with my whole flawed heart, for the gift that you keep giving over and over.
You make me actively more human.
As a man who is confused of being human, i love this one a lot
God i love this song, it's so immaculate.
Amazing bangers from DM DOKURO as always. We all love your work keep going and taking breaks ❤
Volume Warning: Please resist the urge to blast this at 1200 decibels
Sounds like this one took inspiration from Sewerslvt's style while the previous track took from Unit.0's style.
Really interesting
I was thinking the same thing. It sounds like Sewerslvt mixed with actual breakcore drum breaks if that makes sense.
Me flipping my phone again and again just to see what they are saying:
Nice song as always
Fuck man. This song. It means a lot to me, much like many of the songs on this album (which have currently been releasing concurrent to some events involving a somewhat “abusive” ex-friend in my life, to which I’m going to spill about in this long arduous comment.)
I went through a similar situation to the core of this song. I once met a person who I vibed with a lot, and it was as if we were on the same wavelength. But they kept persistently making me uncomfortable, and trying to shape me into something I wasn’t, which caused me to slowly build up resentment. It broke my trust in them after a long time of bottling everything up and suppressing how I naturally was in order to not seem “ominous” or “unpredictable / erratic” in their eyes.
I wanted to keep contact with them, because of how close to my heart they were and because I still somehow looked up to them and trusted them somewhat, with that little bit of hope persisting, but because of that and the resent I harboured due to how they mistreated me and the lack of trust I had in them, I started being an ass and we both broke off contact entirely, even though arguably things were worse on their end of the situation as I still had people to return and talk to. But due to all of that, I’ve been rethinking how I trust people, and it’s kind of created a mental divide as depicted in this song.
Hell yeah, love the drums on this one. Amazing as always
this is by far my most favorite track in TKWTA, only seconded by the beacon
I am so looking forward to the release of the full album, I just keep coming back to these songs.
Thank you so much dokuro! This song reminds me that I’m not alone with this
just incredible. The way you convey such powerful emotion and conflict into your music is beautiful. It just resonates with so many people, myself included. Keep moving forward my dude.
Do these 2 humans know who they are?
a human and their reflection
@@DMDOKURO I see! Diving!
Yo? Sprag and DM DOKURO?! insane
@@DMDOKUROWhy is their reflection female
sprag and dm dokuro in the same comment section is something I would never expect to see.
DM DOKURO On their way to release another banger because they can.
im glad i checked out this version after listening to the instrumental version a few times, the message in this is quite a powerful and relevant one
Wow. it is interesting how you use hope as an analogy of trust. When you trust someone in doing an action. You hope they do it, and when they don't your hope is not met and thus you trust was breached. I personally see it as something different however, hope to me is something that you do not fully know if it will happen ot not but you want it to happen. While trust is something that you truly believe will happen. Thats what seperates hope amd trust for me atleast
Another masterpiece
DOKURO is my crack dealer except crack is surreal existentialist bangers
I was confused and amazed at the same time.
This gives me those Toonami bump vibes back in early 2000's, where they have a really sick a fast beat with clips from anime saying out-of-context profound statements. I really love this style!
I looooove loud music like this, it’s so strange but when things are so loud but still working musically it’s just so powerful for me lol. I get the same kind of effect from sewerslvts jackie remix
This is so beautiful. I have no idea why tho. It’s just awesome. I love it!!
you know it's good when the 7 minute song feels like 3
Oh boy, another song to have on repeat for the next month :D
Amazing work like always keep up the work dm
So the voices here are two SynthV voices , Richie the male vocal and Mai the Female vocal. Very cool
This definitely feels like a song that plays right before the last song on the list.
Like some kind of interlude, before the final piece of the puzzle is finally put together.
I could be VERY wrong about this, but it just feels like that, and I know a few musicians has done that same thing in their own albums too.
Nope, it's halfway if you look at the playlist he has
this is the end of Part 1 of the album.
@@crimson-foxtwitch2581 makes sense yea, since I saw afterwards a community post from DM about it
A philosophical zombie would have no need for therapy. External conversation, on an individual level, only matters in it's relation to the internal conversation of a converser. Existence is not an echo chamber, _that_ is instead the denial of existence. An echo chamber is a method by which one hammers themself into a spear, spears do not tend to talk, when they do it is not between themself. If one can converse with themself they _must_ have at least two prongs. That is a very good thing, pitchforks are instruments of agriculture.
Talk with others, that is good, talk with yourself as well, that is true, multifaceted existence, nothing else matters without it.
Is the reflection telling the truth to, well, itself? It sounds positive but then again a lot of these are when they have a deeper meaning. I feel like the inner voices haven't always been right, at least about something. Song is a vibe tho.
"i feel like I can't let go of something that's been in my life for that long"
Im sorry man. You don't deserve things to be this way.
This might be the only instance where you wanna leave the past and move on, but the past comes back and claws your legs to pull you back in.
They can't. They're not strong enough, mostly just leaving surface scratches on your skin. But it's enough to go on your nerves.
and they have the audacity to tell me that i'm the one who can't let go.

new upload holy
Your songs are a great inspiration for my potential game.
By the way, if you want, you could try playing Library of Ruina or Limbus Company for a quicker experience
Awesome sauce dude!
I love this
I got so giddy when I saw this
Hey dokuro, been a while. I remade that old ADOFAI chart of mine, and while it may be true that may not be a song you like, and the fact that its from the accursed, I hope you still enjoy the work I put into it. I think honestly that anything that can be said has been, but I'm glad you're still around, despite everything.
awesome.
have you seen the mind electric by Conny Josh? i think you'd like it
cant wait omg
why does this remind me of "Turning a Sphere Outside In"?
