Like you were saying, Tatiana is a self professed procrastinator. This video is about her being an introvert and procrastination. The band finishes the musical arrangements then waits on Tati to write the lyrics. The opening of the song is about her peace and quite, then the band chasing her for her part (the red box and sand mandala), her getting mad at them (shooting them, which has no effect) and her ultimate delivery of lyrics that makes them go away (throwing the sand at them). That's my interpretation anyway.
you actually did hit it on the head right away -- she procrastinates with her writing , and the video is a metaphor for the conflict that ensues between her and the band. her red art supply box is her notebook , the shootout is the arguments , and then they happily disappear as soon as she throws some "lyrics" at them. the black and white wolves is a reference to the "Two Wolves" native american parable. i could ramble on at great length ; but this is a YT comment section, not a Masters Thesis 😂
My usual post for this one..... In the video, there's a direct correlation to the pressure she felt for procrastinating lyric writing for the album to the last second. Her bandmates pursue her, pressure her. The bullets (sharp words) at them do nothing, but then she sees the wolves on the wall, realizes her defensive anger and her over-reaction in a situation she created ("turning mole hills into mountains"), and throws "her art" (metaphor for the lyrics they want) at the band and they go away. The wolf story (below) is critical to understanding her internal conflicts as displayed by the wolf art. White Wolf, Black Wolf: A Cherokee Story Inside you lives a wolf of white- of patience, peace and love. He is forgiveness, hope and light; a blessing from above. This wolf of white the world will see through all the good he brings to thee. _____This wolf of white, _____this wolf of white, his gifts will set your spirit free. A wolf of black, as dark as night lives next to him inside. He’s hatred, rage, cruelty, fright, intolerance and pride. This wolf of black the world will see through evil actions, evil deeds. _____This wolf of black, _____this wolf of black, his teeth will make your spirit bleed. Within your soul, the two wolves fight to see which one will give directions and will win the right to show you how to live. Which one will win the fight? We need to pay attention; pay close heed! _____Which one will win? _____Which one will win depends upon which one we feed.
That one always gets me in the feels. It's so true for all of us. I think the whole world is struggling with our black wolf right now. Especially in Ukraine. And in America.
ANOTHER awesome Jinjer reaction! But.... Like I've been saying, you should definitely do some drum playthroughs from their drummer! His playthrough of this song is AMAZING!!
Another great reaction dude. And yep you nailed it. The whole first half of the song is Tati's gorgeous "white wolf" clean vocals, and the second half is her "black wolf" harshes. Like Pisces and Perennial, it's another song about duality, and about mental illness. Let's face it, our Queen is just a bit unstable. I'm actually thankful for that, because it has given us some of the highest art in modern metal. This song also gives me feels because my daughter has a lot of the same issues. All the lyrics in the first half of the song remind me so much of her. And these things seem to affect a lot of people these days. I think COVID has isolated us all, and broken so many connections between us. "This life is a lockdown." Even before that I think our society has been struggling with its own black wolf. There's a lot of anger and hatred and division out there these days. Let's feed our white wolf, people! We can't let that black sucker win! BTW, I've commented about the new album and Tatiana's procrastination on a couple recent posts from the band, and I got likes and loves from Eugene and Tatiana. It's probably happening right now. I'm doing a little rain dance for Tatiana lol. C'mon Tati, make it rain! Cast your pearls before us swine. We'll wallow in the muck of Wacken for it!! To quote Wayne and Garth, "We're not worthy! We're not worthy!" We know we're getting a new live DVD in May. But I'm praying for that new studio album this year, like they half-promised. We need our live Jinjer in America this year!
This band has such feels, musicianship, emotion, everything but guitar solos ... and I'm constantly amazed how it continues to capture my devotion with no guitar solos, but the riffs meld so well with the bass and drums and singing, its the emotion I guess, the feels
This band is own that can bring tears to my eyes with their sheer musicality and talent. I watch some reactions to experience the song for the first time, again, through someone else's eyes, and it's always amazing with Jinjer.
I’m sure you have a list but here’s a few more if they didn’t make it: I Speak Astronomy (OMV) Retrospection (OMV or live) Captain Clock (Live at Resurrection Fest) Have fun

Thats a good description in few words
Masterpiece

White Wolf, Black Wolf: A Cherokee Story
Inside you lives a wolf of white-
of patience, peace and love.
He is forgiveness, hope and light;
a blessing from above.
This wolf of white the world will see
through all the good he brings to thee.
_____This wolf of white,
_____this wolf of white,
his gifts will set your spirit free.
A wolf of black, as dark as night
lives next to him inside.
He’s hatred, rage, cruelty, fright,
intolerance and pride.
This wolf of black the world will see
through evil actions, evil deeds.
_____This wolf of black,
_____this wolf of black,
his teeth will make your spirit bleed.
Within your soul, the two wolves fight
to see which one will give
directions and will win the right
to show you how to live.
Which one will win the fight? We need
to pay attention; pay close heed!
_____Which one will win?
_____Which one will win
depends upon which one we feed.

Next should be "Who is Gonna Be the One"
You were exactly on the money with your interpretation about the band's dynamics and Tati - our queen of procrastination, among other things.
This whole band is amazing! One take vocal of Judgement and Punishment next. 😁

They are amazing
Check out Home Back, it's a must
I’m sure you have a list but here’s a few more if they didn’t make it:
I Speak Astronomy (OMV)
Retrospection (OMV or live)
Captain Clock (Live at Resurrection Fest)
Have fun
great reaction, but really in concert her growls are even deeper and lower !!!
What I understand is that Tatiana first writes her lyrics in Russian then translates them into English.
Watch it again...Tati is a huge introvert. Hence, Wallflower...
❤👌👍✌
