🏺THANK YOU FOR 1MIL VIEWS🏺 ‣ Check out my NEW original song, Omamori! There's lots of tasty Ghost Town lore in it 👅 th-cam.com/video/sEe9pUzFwkg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TsRZNEghiRIWLAoL I cannot believe an original song of mine managed to reach so many hearts and ears... Thank you for listening! I'm working on new original music for 2024, so please look forward to it🙇🏼♂️ Homunculus is just one part of a multimedia project I am working on called "Ghost Town". It is a story told through music, manga, novels, and videos! I hope that you look forward to more of the story unraveling 💙
Honestly, I am just really glad to see Christians who don't view the LGBTQ+ community as wrong or sinful. It is a scary world out there right now, and it is nice to see that the loud, hate filled voice isn't representative of the whole group. Even as someone who isn't in the faith, I enjoy this song.
@@bestaround3323where the hell did you get that stereotype, I was raised in a school full of sisters and nuns and the only thing they wanted to teach us was to be a good person and to treat others with the same respect you have on yourself.
I myself am agnostic, but this song resonates with me like no other. I deal with a lot awful self esteem and this song perfectly reflects some of those thoughts that show up. Also in general the sound of this is impeccable from the instrumentals and vocals.
Oi! I hope you'll find your peace eventually! Thank you for sharing your feelings with us!...💖 i really respect that! Cool! But,am i allowed to ask what agnostic is? Im very unfamiliar with that term,but i may have this as well? At least its possible
Morse Code translations: 0:50 & 2:52 - You're worthless you know it. Why even bother (x2) 0:53 & 2:54 - Nobody even wants you. You're not good enough. (x2.5) 0:56 & 2:58 - Look at you. 0:57 & 2:59 - You will never be good enough. Look at you, you make me sick (x2.5) 1:06 & 1:58 & 3:07 - Ahh!! 2:50 - Save... me... Save me (x2) 3:00 - I'll close my eyes and shatter.
This song was made me realize I was getting rid of my emotion to cope with past trauma and holy shit has this resonated with me. The pain of being chased by trauma that just won't leave you alone and trying literally everything to escape it.
Buddy, you shouldn't do that. Emotions are what make us human, what makes us feel love and hate. People without emotion and no regard for others are what we call psychopaths, psycho a root for emotion, and path a root for "none" or "a person who doesn't have"
@@xuan2336 you're right, and I _have_ been trying (and seems like succeeding!) To get back my emotions since I noticed, since I know that desensitizing to emotion is not good.
it's about religion it's about religious trauma it's about gender it's about sexuality it's about body dysmorphia it's about isolation from community it's about a funky little shapeshifter dude who becomes a wolf thing but most importantly it fuck severely (it's very good and I like it and it rotates in my brain frequently)
For me it’s about my dysphoria as i am transmasc and lack self esteem, but i think it’s so amazing that it can mean different things and be so special to so many people
can i just say as someone who isnt christian anymore and grew up in a christian household where i was forced to only listening to only christian music growing up, this song is one of the best ones ive ever heard. a lot of the songs i heard growing up were either about how excited people were to die and meet god or about how great and holy he is. which you know is fine and all but it felt like every song and it kind of made me sad since i was pretty well read on the bible and theres so many stories and versus you can take from and make something truely beautiful with and you... went and did that. you did something that I've wanted to see since i was a young kid. i may not walk down that religious path anymore, but seeing you inspired by your own religion to create something beautiful and with heart made me really happy.
im still christian, and im sorry you were forced into those ideals. my parents, mainly one of them, was heavy on the religion aspect but never forced me to only listen/watch christian stuff. I understand why you would walk away from that situation. sucks people like that exist :/
@@ChilledBacon yeah! i really appreciate you understanding since any time i mention this to people, they immediately turn around and go "well god is always waiting for you don't worry" which isn't the most reassuring thing to tell someone with religious trauma. im really happy you can find joy in your religion though!!! keep doing what makes you happy!
Sorry you went through that, i had parents who were very VERY religious and wouldn't let me listen or do anything they considered devilish and sinful, so when i listened to USSEEWA i for some reason felt better after that and my parents took away my device and told me i would go to hell because i betrayed their (my parents) trust? I was like 8 at the time this was happening but i remember some of it clearly, and so they would lock me in a closet and start reciting a prayer every night for 2 weeks, and so when i tried to talk to my religious relatives (i didn't know they were religious) they just said "just ask god for forgiveness and pray!" After that i gave up on trying to rebel and by the time i was 10 i remember standing on the edge of a bridge after i ran away from home, and a very nice woman saw me and immediately got me down and called the police, they came, i told them where i lived (took a bit because i wasn't and still not good with talking), my parents get arrested i think(?), and then i get put into an orphanage, WOAH this is long, kinda forgot what i was doing lol Anyways i get a good family the end
I am sorry to hear about these experiences you guys have had. I also grew up in a toxic, pseudo-religious household with parents who would substitute scripture with their own beliefs and force it on me as if it's God's word. I avoided church and developing an understanding of the Bible until about a year ago (though for the last 4 years I have been studying various religions and theologies), when I began going to my local church only to find that what I had been taught growing up was not only not Biblical, but anti-Biblical. As Christians, we should NEVER force our beliefs or persecute others who don't share them. That is not living with the peace, joy, and comfort of the Spirit and it's often a reflection of people insecure about their beliefs. It's damaging to everyone and Christians should not be spreading hatred at all- especially not when it comes to spreading the Gospel of all things! Even when Jesus was being beaten, tortured, crucified, and ridiculed, he never yelled at or forced himself onto anyone- and if anyone had the right to, it was him! Unfortunately, a lot of people get stuck in the selfish thought that "if they don't agree with me, I have to be angry and force it on them!" But I can tell you that those people are not living a lifestyle that they are called to live, if they truly are Christian. If you ever want to email me with any questions about the Bible, please feel free to message me at TrickleYT@gmail.com and again, I am so sorry that you've had bad "Christian" examples. Unfortunately that's very common. I like to make the Gospel readily accessible in my descriptions for anyone who wants it because of the way that it has set my heart free! I used to struggle with depression and suicidal tendencies for years and could never find a way out until I began to explore my relationship with the Lord. So I want to spread that hope to anyone who feels called the same way I did! I don't get notifications for all of my comments, so if you ever wanna get ahold of me, just shoot an email! I hope that this message finds you, or anyone else down the road, in peace and love :)
I'm aslo someone who used to be a christian, though the people who raised me in faith aren't bad people nor had bad intentions. Even then, I find ironic how I relate so much which this song, written by someone inspired by his faith and who could move forward thanks to it, when in my case it was leaving behind religion what helped me. Not that I have any problem againts the author, i just find it courious.
as someone with depression and dysphoria who found no solace in religion, i pretty much interpreted the song as the opposite of what was originally intended, lol, and yet it really resonated with me! i think it's amazing how your lyrics are so versatile and open to interpretation, and speak to so many people because of it.
Same. I think it's so cool that this song can resonate with everyone. For example, both Christians and people in the lgbt community can resonate and bond over this, interpreting it in different ways, even when the two communities are usually at eachothers throats. I think it shows that peace isn't impossible to happen in the future, and that's kinda nice to think about.
@@HelmsmanButterscotch_OwO as a Christian most of us don't pay attention to the lgb stuff but has changed and the trans community is mainly a factor of it due to the violent nature of the stuff they have been doing and than that's tied to the lgb people there are two sides to each story but I'm telling the truth about what's going on right now
How does your voice just.... do that? Like... all of that? Actually incredible. You're so talented and every single song you put out is a musical treat. This song is amazing; it's an easy full-day-play-on-repeat banger. Thank you.
No can we just talk about Trickle’s vocal range? Like one moment he can sing low and relaxed then later he can sing high and passionate. It’s honestly so cool and impressive.
1:24 sound design is CRAZY good; the pottery (mask) breaks and the singing and art changes to something more personal!! I love when metaphors come to life like this :DD The visual art is amazing! At the beginning the focus is the yellow pottery, a mask, that overshadows the dark wolf but when yellow disappears we full recognize the person, body and mind And the same thing happens with the singing too! At the very beginning the singing and music is clear and clean, but as the song continues the tempo increases giving that feeling of unraveling. I love the parallelism of this song, and every different interpretation of it
It actually makes so much more sense interpreting the pottery and stuff as a mask. I felt like it meant something but wasn't sure what and like there's literally a brick wall, like a facade. A facade.
It came out for me today on Spotify and wow.. I’m just completely blown away. It’s absolutely incredible, and I know that I’ll just have this on loop for the next few days. Maybe weeks or months or longer. Congrats on 50k, Trickle! It’s well-deserved.
Oh wow!! You must be hours ahead of me, then! I'm so happy that you liked Homunculus, thank you so very much! I can't wait to know how you feel about the MV, too 💙
Lyrics for the ones absolutely addict like me : I realized in my last life that I hate the light So I keep running and running, I'm trying to hide From everything that's inside, this heart that I've tried To erase and wash away all the shame Scared to death of what's within There's a bleeding kind of beating, deep beneath the skin The rattle, ravage, all my sin Hear it scream behind my chest again No alchemy can give me what I wish I could be So I'll try a different body! Just a dash of this and that. A touch of blood and add some mud My wishes, fears, and painful tears. I wonder when I'll have enough No form of love can give me what I wish I could be I'll pray just change me! I'm broken, torn, and tattered I'll never be full again I'll close my eyes and shatter My heart, rebuild from the start Dis-gus-ting! Even if I somehow find a way to feel alive, I......aaaAAAAAA Realized in my last life that I fear the light So I keep running and running, I'm trying to hide From everything that's inside, this heart that I've tried To erase and wash away all the shame! To erase and wash away all the shame!!! Stuck in the mud in my mind, If I clean it up, I swear that I'd shine I am confined to what is inside Eating away at the thoughts that I'm trying to hide And I'm sick of all this wondering if I even deserve to feel alive I think it's best I rip these feelings out with the rest of it The breath of life was my demise, I'm cursed until the day I die Perhaps a better set of eyes will blind me from this sin of mine I've been forsaken, I'm breakin', can't take it again So peel from me my mind and let me be I'm lower than the dirt A worthless homonculus Sick of this! Even if I somehow find a way to feel alive, I.....aaaAAAA Realized in my last life that I hate the light So I keep running and running, I'm trying to hide From everything that's inside, this heart that I've tried To erase and wash away all the shame! To erase and wash away all the shame!!! Toil all day, till this rotten clay Water and blood just aren't enough To fill my heart up Over and over, I try to reshape Crying in shame as I take the pain out Maybe... That can change me That can save me I'm broken, torn, and tattered I'll never be full again I'll close my eyes and shatter My heart, rebuild from the start Dis-gus-ting ! Even if I somehow find a way to feel alive I.....aaaAAAAA Realized in my last life that I hate the light So I keep running and running, I'm trying to hide So maybe in my next life, I'll finally find Find a way to wash away all the shame! To erase and wash away all the shame!!! _________________________________ THAT'S IT GUYS I hope I wrote all of this without a mistake, hope you'll enjoy trying to sing along with the song!! (Fr this song is so insane trickle ilu
I doubt you'll see this, and I hope it doesn't come off as oversharing from some random person on the internet, but I'm a Christian who struggles with religious trauma+scrupulosity themed OCD and this song really speaks to me. The panic, the fear, the uncertainty, the pressure, the desperate grasping at straws that comes with this disorder that attacks everything that means the most to me - this song resonates with me, a lot. Lyrics aside even, the frantic pace mimics what it feels like inside my head. Chaos with moments of clarity. I don't know where I'm going with this, but thank you for making it. Even though what I'm dealing with isn't what your song is about it makes me feel understood. It helps somehow. Legitimately, I was starting have an episode and I came here and now I think I feel ok. While quite a lot of modern Christian music only wants to focus on the happy nice warm-fuzzy side of life......this feels real and relatable. Thank you.
That's exactly what my song is about :) I wrote this song with many different thoughts and feelings in mind but, as an artist, what I hoped to accomplish was to let people who have felt this way feel heard. To let them know that as hard life is, things can be okay. You're not alone. And most importantly, that the Lord loves those who call upon Him and lean upon Him for strength. I'm happy that you made your voice heard to me. I used to struggle with trauma and still OCD as well, haha! Reading your words touched my heart. I will be praying for you to find peace! Thank you so much for listening to my song. I'm so honored that it could mean so much to you 💙
@kuukuu381 Oh my gosh! We live different lives and have different stories but I can totally relate to having religious trauma and dealing with scrupulosity/religious OCD. It was like a bolt of lightning hit me when I started going to biblical counseling and my counselor sent me home with an article on Scrupulosity. My heart goes out to you and your struggle. My brain felt like it was filled with a multitude of thoughts switching at a fever pace. I eventually began to believe that God hated me and saw me only as a slave, but counseling taught me that God was the one who drowned all the cruel taskmasters in the red sea in the book of Exodus. Gosh, God has been so faithful to me, I can't even express it. I used to almost hate him; I was so cynical about him, and felt so so so abandoned and left to my own suffering. It was literally earthshattering when I realized I had not been abandoned and that he was guiding me in the midst of suffering.
Trickle, i live in a Christian family and i showed this to my mom (bear in mind she hates music that isnt worship/hymnal) ...she started crying. She said that it felt so accurate to her personal journey when i deciphered the morse code for her. So I want to thank you for this song. She now regularly listen to your original music, and your covers. Again tysm for making this ❤❤❤
God is good to the weary who come to Him for rest. I was so moved reading this... Please let your mother know that I am so thankful to hear that she has trusted in the Lord for salvation and that I will be praying for her and her family! God is good and I am so grateful that He brought me to Him while I was lost in my sins. The world has so many distractions and empty promises, but God never fails and His word stays true! I look forward to being able to sing God's praises together in Heaven 💙 Please remind her that it is by Grace we are saved (Ephesians 2:8-9), not by our works- For no man is justified by the law (Galatians 2:16), so she can rest easy knowing that God has done all of the work for her on the cross when Christ died the death that we deserve because of His great love for us sinners (Romans 5:8-9)! Much love and peace to you and your family!
I added onto my message since I accidentally clicked send early, hahaha, so I hope you can pass all that on and even be encouraged yourself by it my friend :) God bless you, and thank you for listening to my silly music!
I’m autistic and to say I struggle to make friends is an understatement. The amount of times I’ve completely destroyed and reconstructed myself in hopes that I’ll be wanted this time is almost un fathomable. This song really resonates with me for that reason. I’m also Christian so that adds a nice layer to it as well.
I know this song is far from being about this, but I relate to this song so hard as someone with autism. The puzzle pieces feeling like people who say they care, but not enough to know about the most basic of things. So many things that remind me of the autistic experience Many autistic people struggle with identity, struggle with outside world, and people in general. This song is great, its incredibly well made and giant props to the animator. I could go into how i relate to each line when it comes to autism, but we'd be here all day lol.
Even as a Christian, I can relate this song to a lot more than my religion. I think everyone has a point in their life where they feel the need to change themselves to escape something, whether it be a wrong, the idea of who they were, or just to be different. It's a good song, great job Trickle.
Everyone's talking about religion and I on the other hand see the depression hidden behind masks of fake excitement and joy, working with fast and energetic melody almost distracting from the dark lyrics. Which is neat. I guess everyone sees this through the lens of their life.
The "Disgusting!" and "I" at 3:00 are so good omfg can't stop replaying that section YOU REALLY NAILED IT WITH THIS ONE! LIKE, BOTH OF YOUR ORIGINAL SONGS ARE SO GREAT??? HOW?
I originally interpreted the song in a different way, but I also like the original! Here’s my own interpretation (I might flesh it out more later): So I think this song is about society as a whole and how you can never “be good enough”, no matter how many times you try to change it will never be enough in society’s eyes and I feel as if there is so much pressure on these standards it’s overwhelming “you have to act like this.” “You have to look like that.” And if someone doesn’t follow these they’re looked down upon or viewed as a “monster”.
Yeah i guess u don't have to say "as atheist" cus this has nothing to do with being atheist Like... this is the general interpolation for that nothin special.
@@null6482 well it does have something to do with it, cuz the actual meaning has to do with finding meaning in god, well from what I see in the description.
Thank you for your wonderful songs. I've been listening to your music for awhile now, and you always provide such a beautiful performance. This original song of yours was no different. ♥️ Please continue to do what you do.
Here to put out some idea on what the lyrics may mean. This is my first time trying to break down an entire song AAA I have a strong feeling that this song represents suppressing an identity that is looked down upon by society or a religion. This song comes from a 1st person’s point of view, the singer. They are often seen going up against others in the video. The others in this video are either the singer themself(ves), greyed out figures, or the wolf, which also may be a metaphor for the singer fighting themself in this video. I will be using *peer(s)* instead of society, but it can very well be society. Also love this song so much I have played it a million times already
What an incredible, incredibly well-thought-out analysis here! What a pleasure it was to read through this! Interesting interpretations here, I'm honored that my song can mean so much to so many 💙
@@Trickle_Official i really do love this song! Its why I tried breaking it down. The visuals and lyrics are so remarkables genuine as well. Thank you to the team for making this masterpiece that only comes around once in a blue moon!
LITERALLY WOKE UP AT 9 FOR THIS, NO REGRETS. Those high notes? Perfection. The lyrics? *chef’s kiss* The animation? Amazing, perfect. I loved your voice throughout the entire thing, and the inspiration behind the song just makes it so much more meaningful. A huge step-up from Ghost Town, which was already great. Looking forward to more, can’t wait to see where this journey takes you!! 💙
@@usasianology I believe somebody else has translated the messages in the comments! You could go search for their comment. I’m mostly doing this for my own enjoyment, but I might share the results when I get to it
This song is great, man. Always trying to change yourself and ignore the monster inside of you that beats you down constantly. It never being good enough because you’re just rejecting who you are, and then finally coming to terms with who you are and embracing that part of yourself that you’ve always been ashamed of. That’s what I got from this song, and I love it.
WOW I WAS BLOWN AWAY, the MV was absolutely amazingly done props to Venz, the instrumental I love so much it surpassed my expectations by large from the preview. Finally the lyrics and vocals were amazing too of course, everything was so good thank you Trickle! Edit: Just wanted to emphasize just how hard the instrumental goes god it’s so good!
THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!! Trickle you've gone above and beyond this time. This was so worth the wait and I can't wait to see what original song you'll release next!!! Also Venz did an incredible job on the MV it's seriously such goals. (Also your vocal range.... stop flexing so much, man... I'm jealous)
HAHAHAHAH!! LET'S GOOOOO 🤣 Finally, Christian music I can enjoy! Edit: I do want to clarify, It's not "Christian Music" (in the sense that it appeals exclusively to people of faith), I'm just a Christian who makes music. For me, Homunculus is partly a song about who I use to be- what God saved me from. But that's what it means for *me*. But I wrote it to be something special for everyone.
I know this song is about something else but; as a homosexual who grew up in a homophobic community this song has a lot of personal connections I can relate to. I'm glad you made the theme ambiguous so people can make their own connections to the song as well.
Edit: This was in response to someone's comment, but they have since deleted it. I encourage you to read the document, and see that I point to myself first and foremost as a sinful person who, even as a Christian, continues to sin. It's not my place to judge anyone or make them change- conviction and repentance both come from God, not from people. I genuinely believe that the Bible is the Word of God and I want to honor God as best as I can- it's out of love that God has told us what's against Him and what separates us from Him. I believe this with all my heart, so for me to not mention that we can't work our way into Heaven, and that Christ has paid the price for us and calls those who trust in Him to live lives for Him would be the opposite of loving for me to do. I'm not telling anyone how to live their lives, I'm spreading what I believe is God's Word and am letting Him do the rest. No Christian and no person has the right to pass judgement on anyone, God is the judge of us all- He commands all Christians to love one another; we're no better than anyone else. Our righteousness only comes from Jesus, not from our behavior because, at the end of the day, I'm still a sinful human being standing before a righteous God. I hope that you can see the way that I interact with my fanbase, despite whatever background they come from, with love and gratitude, and not label me with blanket statements that don't understand the core of what I believe or take into account the way I behave. I also don't want this message to come across as me just standing up for myself, but for me standing up for the God who loved me enough to lay down His life for me and conquer death so that I may live a life of peace here on earth, and an eternity with Him who loves me. While I was still His enemy in my sins, Christ died for me. And that's a love worth serving to me. Also, I would like to add that this song is open to be interpreted by anyone in any way. Just because I'm a Christian doesn't mean that my beliefs are to be imposed on the rest of the world or art. Homunculus isn't a Christian song, just a song written by a Christian. I hope this message finds you well, and in peace, my friend 💙
This is, and i'm not kidding, the BEST song I've ever listened to. I just can't describe the amount of passion put into it. If every original song Trickle makes is gonna be like this one, I don't know if my heart can take it.😅
Man. This really feels close to home feeling a lot like how my self loathing is. Hating yourself for that long but being almost oblivious to it till it really gets bad. Wanting to change yourself but either being too lazy, or just not good enough for yourself.
My thoughts on the song are that the clay-headed guy (I'll just call him Clay) is an avatar for the dark figure (Not sure what to call him but he'll just be the dark figure guy) who appears at 1:16. Clay is the outward personality that's shown to others as he has very animated personality and expressions. On the other hand, the dark figure is his inward personality, who never shows his head and is very motionless compared to Clay. The dark figure changes himself whenever he feels like he's not good enough by remolding Clay's face. This is seen here at 1:14 where he slaps Clay's face to remold him after he decides to change again. I'm not sure who the sheep/lamb character represents (1:41 and 1:54), but I know Trickle says that he based this song on the Gospel of the Bible, so maybe there's a connection there? Also, I assumed the wolf character was the dark figure's persona?? Idk. This is a really rough idea, and I decided to work on this instead of doing my homework lol. Feel free to add your thoughts! Also, congrats on 50k Trickle! I can't wait to hear more of your work!
The lamb maybe is the part of him that want to have control of his personality, and want to change accordingly to the bible So the lamb and the wolf are constant in fight to see who will be controling the body
I love your interpretation of Clay as an avatar. I think this song embodies a struggle we all go through, but is especially difficult for people with anxiety and depression. The use of creativity and clay holds a potential double-meaning because many artists express struggling in a similar fashion; people who shape their craft AND themselves in hopes of making value in both. I think the lamb represents a moral paradigm. Based on the song's influence, this could easily be attributed to religious dogma, but it can retain its symbolism even a secular framing if you choose to view the wolf as the id and the lamb as the super-ego. Coming from an agnostic/atheistic perspective, I feel the secular interpretation has a more complex impact. If you take the lamb as dogma, it already holds the champion's corner; it's painted as axiomatically correct, and any opposition to it is simply an antagonist. However, the super-ego is simply the sense of obligations and standards we feel based on our culture and upbringing, as well as a big contribution to our sense of shame, which is a big theme in the lyrics. I feel like the animation better reflects the latter in Clay's expressions when they watch the two fight. There's worry and uncertainty, eyes darting between them both. Even when the lamb is victorious, it's presented with a red vignette in an ominous manner, indicating that neither of the two winning is objectively good. Even if many of Freud's psychological theories didn't hold much water, the id and super-ego tell a story we can all relate to, regardless of our creed. We all need to balance ourselves between our desires and our morals, and it's terribly difficult. There is an interesting irony when this song is interpreted in a more secular light: Although religious dogma of all kinds has been a powerful tool for helping humanity solve its internal struggles since time immemorial, Clay's maker is struggling with internalized values, shame and self-loathing, and those things arise from a sense of morality. A creature that thinks only with their drives and instincts would not know shame... So, in a way, the entire struggle Clay is going through is what happens when lamb wins and shame reigns. I'm aware my metaphor has some weaknesses in it, particularly in that the "wolf as id" would not be the one speaking doubts to Clay's maker. A "wolf as doubt" vs. "lamb as faith" metaphor would reflect that better, but the song is primarily about the internal struggles and self-valuing of Clay's maker, rather than faith, so I'm not sure a simple metaphor will work for the lamb and wolf in this case.
I went back to your old original song and god, I’m so excited to see how you’ll top that up! Please don’t eat me I swear I’m subbed lol Edit: Aghhh I don’t wanna edit because of the heart but I need to express my gratitude and joy at this song! Never thought it’d be inspired by some verses, but it’s great nevertheless! I like the inclusion of Morse code, and some of the lower parts, it really touched me for some parts! We love you Trickle man, thx for the vocals and thanks for Venz and Tikaal too! (I’ll check later for spelling errors)
No matter how many times I watch this. I will never find another video that will make me feel more seen. Even if it isn’t the same message or meaning, I connect to every frame, every note, and every lyric. Thank you
This is great, I personally cannot find anything ugly about it - there's something very beautiful and heart-wrenching about trying to escape the shame and weight of mortal existence... thank you for another wonderful original!!! 🤍
I can't imagine any other person singing this song, its just such a perfect fit for your voice! It also isn't predictable despite not being chaotic, you hit the perfect balance!
Oh my God? This song rules big time. The instrumental (the amount of different instruments and genres), the lyrics and the singing (the imagery and the message), the music video (the quality and variety of the art)? They all compliment each other so neatly and make a great picture together that transmits a lot of emotion. I'm genuinely impressed by the quality of this track. Props to the team who worked on it and congrats on the 50k subs! (Oh and love the fact it's inspired by the Gospel too; damn, it worked *so* well)
The song combined with the visuals is something truly outstanding. I'm someone with really terrible depression and anxiety for over a decade and it's insane how resonant the lyrics are, along with the symbolism of the visuals blending in perfectly. As someone who's self loathing cycle is also killing themselves, this was really cathartic. I'm really grateful you made this along with getting such a perfect music video to go along with it.
With the way how you sang this, I can feel the emotion that you really want to deliver the message of "not living up to your own expectations no matter how good you want to be", and it wins me the most that you were able to convey those emotions! CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR MORE FROM YOUR ORIGINALS IN THE FUTURE!
My comment is a bit late, however I just have to say that I listen to this song every day, multiple times a day. Whilst I'm not religious and see the song in a different way to Trickle's meaning, the lyrics are so well formed and not to mention the insane range of vocals. Even now I still get tingles whenever I listen to it. Very well done, you don't understand how much this song means to me in the grand scheme of things
Aw... I missed the premiere, but heard the song and you and Tikaal did an amazing song, mixing many things that I didn't expected and to worked really well, great job to both. Of course Venz movie skills are always amazing 😉👍
The way the legs tangle like streamers on the bike 😆 . You can really feel the emotions in this song, was worried that your voice was gonna get strained at the high notes.
Listened and fell in love immediately! The beat and erratic tone reminded me of a modern anime opening or a vocaloid song but it plays out so smoothly in the English language. Then I realized you did anime covers and it all made sense! They are just as smooth!! They feel like they could have been originally written in English. I’ve listened to good covers but the translations always sounded a bit off… They’re good BUT yours are GOOD!!! You’ve got insane skills.
This is such a comforting song in not only its lyrics, but also its style. It's so clearly inspired by the likes of Eve and ADO, but it also feels distinctly yours in a way that makes it always feel like coming home to a warm house in winter This one took me a while to listen to because life hit me like a truck, but I can always trust your music to cheer me up :)
This has been stuck in my head since the first time it was teased and it's so satisfying to be able to see it as a full and finished product! The vocals, the key and tempo changes, it all blends together in such a mind blowing way to make such a catchy song. You've truly outdone yourself with this one, Trickle!
My interpretation of this song and its animation shows that of a kid who’s suffering from domestic abuse, trying to “reshape” themselves to fit what the abuser wants them to be. However, it is never enough for them. The victim is missing something to fill themselves, which is why they still continue to reshape themselves despite the abuse, believing that if they reshape themselves in the image of the abuser’s desires, the abuser will give them the final piece they need. However, that is just one interpretation. Another way I interpret this as is that the ram is actually the bad guy. The green wolf, (previously mentioned as the abuser), is a part of the aforementioned victim that the ram continues to keep at bay from the victim, forcing the victim into a constant relapse where they will continue to try to find who they are until the wolf can reach them and make them whole.

Honestly I normally don't comment on videos, but I wanted to say, not only are the visuals astounding and inspiring, the music and the freedom of just how you created this song (alongside it being an original) is amazing, and thank you so much for sharing this with us! Such different interpretations of so many people to take, I'm glad I finally clicked and watched this, truly I adore this song, the the visuals truly encapsulate almost this raw feeling to them, it's amazing, thank you all for blessing my eyes with this (all who worked on this)!
This is absolutely beautiful!!! From the song to Venz’s beautiful artwork and vision for this mv, it’s absolutely beautiful. You all absolutely knocking it out of the park this time, I’m in awe
First off let me say, this is my favorite song of all time, and i'm not even Christian. I just love the way you depicted the internal struggle of everything that was going on so well, it's honestly amazing For me, this song reminds me of my depression, a constant feeling of self doubt and overall unenjoyment with life, but at the same time having to express myself and at the very least try to, build myself back up after all my past failures, ultimately losing a bit of who I am in the process, whether it was worth it or not is my choice. That is my take on Homunculus But I'm sure I'm not the only one with a interpretation of this song, and that's what makes this song so perfect, it always seems to capture exactly how I feel in life, truly a work of art, thank you to everyone who worked on this, I love this song.
I knew since seeing the short snippet of the trailer that I'd absolutely love it and I think it's safe to say this is one of my favourite songs already. It has everything I love in music with the strained emotional voice, crazy instrumental, and the lull in the song. And the visuals! Good lord this song is incredible!
bro this song is so perfect... catchy tune, profound lyrics, beautiful pv, epic trickle scream, i love this so much. i didnt expect the song to fit so well in my tastes
bruh I had this on my recommended on my Spotify and I just "woah this one is nice. I'll favorite it." and then two seconds later I find this video. my phone is spying on me.
tfw you know it’s already gonna be a banger, congrats Trickle on 500k abs deserved 🎉🎉 EDIT: I MEANT 50K BUT I know I’m going to be typing that 500k fr for soon
@@Trickle_Official You'll get there one day, albeit it is a slow start, your covers/songs deserve more than 500k. I'll be here every upload to cheer you on!
The chorus is so high and intense. This MV is also actually insane. You're so pro and I'm so inspired. The little morse messages ugh. So stunning so showstopping. Trickle MV2 was a smash dude
I feel like I've struck gold - it's so rare to find an openly Christian vocaloid fan, and you're so good at this! _(I am losing my mind over the imagery of the lamb killing the wolf in this video-)_ I can't convey to you how encouraging it is to find another believer in the wilds of the internet. Fantastic songs! I'll be praying for you!
I just watched that entire video - start to finish - with my jaw on the floor. Such a pretty song, from theme to vocals to visuals, it's all around gorgeous. Thank you to everyone who worked hard on this.
ive had the opposite experience with the christian gospel, but this song still greatly resonated with me before i read the description. though i regret reading it lol. as someone living a life without leaning the christian god myself, I can't really unsee your artistic intent in the imagery and lyrics. ended up reminding myself of the many times i was threatened with eternal damnation and such if i never repented. not out of any distaste for you or your experiences, Im glad you found something that pulled you out of such a dark place, and that youre still here to share that experience at all. So I guess ultimately im just personally venting due to bad experiences with the religion. Really appreciate that Homunculus is up to anyone's interpretation. And regardless of that, I still want to thank you for creating such a wonderful music video
I just find your channel and your songs, and after listening to this particular one, I have to say Your vocal range could be used as a weapon, it's crazy, you're crazy for writing this amazing song, I love it, I love what you're doing Keep it up until you can, best wishes from Hungary
I'm incredibly late to this but oh my god...I feel absolutely speechless, like fr I was just gutted and left with this shaking and sinking feeling. Such a raw and chilling song. Your writing is absolutely crazy, Trickle coupled with Tikaals's amazing instrumentation (the tempo changes and the modulation had me screaming) and Venz's absolutely gutteral and flowing visuals. I just. I'm so utterly floored. Thank you so much for this song. It's comforting somehow despite the sense of sheer dread I get after the lyrics hit me and I read more about your inspiration. I seriously look forward to more of your originals!!! This is amazing
To add my meaning onto what this song means to me: I find that it resonates a lot with depression and things that come along with that/I’ve gone (and still am going) through like SH. Particularly the first set of verses: “Scared to death of what’s within- there’s a bleeding kind of beating deep beneath the skin- the rattle, ravage, all my sin- hear it scream behind my chest again.” “My wishes, fears, and painful tears; I wonder when I’ll have enough- no form of love can give me what I wish i could be.” “I’m broken, torn, and tattered.” Like- fucking hell that hits hard- very good music though-!!!!!! Good job ^^ /gen
I myself am atheist, but I can still enjoy this music with my own meaning. To me it reminds me of my own body dysphoria and coming to terms with it and understand I will in time be able to change myself, I just must be patient
I’m so hype!!!!!!!!!! I CANT WAIT!!! ANOTHER TRICKLE ORIGINAL!!! Congrats on 50k you deserve all the subs and more!!! Can’t wait to see you grow further in your artistic/singing abilities and in your following!! 👏👏👏🥳🥳🥳
I seriously cant get over how good this is. Theres only been a few songs I put on repeat and listen to hours of. All of which I still regularly listen to later down the road too. Seriously the song, the lyrics, especially the animation, everything is so amazing~
This so awesome, buddy! I could really feel the emotion in it so well and the interpretations I can actually apply to my own life so well, and this honestly makes this more personal to me, and I appreciate that. Being able to find common ground with the music you listen to can be so revealing and can sometimes help you to understand more about yourself, and imo, this truly has done that for me. So, thank you, Trickle. For being an awesome artist, and an awesome friend. ✊❤️🙏
Im not sure if this was intentional or not but with the imagery of the clay and the lyrics "I realized in my past life, I hate the light; So I keep running and running, I'm trying to hide" might be an accidental play with how clay is typically "fired" or cooked through a kiln (aka an oven made for cooking clay) which produces a light. So by constantly keeping himself (the character or Homunculus) in a bisque-ware state (aka a non cooked state) he can continuously reshape who he is and try to become someone "good enough" as once a piece is put in the kiln and fired, it cannot be changed. (unless you like cook another piece and hot glue it on) either way this song is SOOOOO cool !!!!! very excited for what else you make trickle, I'm super excited to hear ur next original whenever it may be !!!! ^_^
Another point of interest is that the sheep (which I believe is meant to represent Jesus, or perhaps simply faith), is not only fired but also glazed with a beautiful pattern, probably meant to represent how God is already perfected.
@@TheDragonCat99 It could also symbolise how obsessive, blind Faith shapes people and makes them impenetrable to change, just like you can't change clay that has been cooked, and even if you break it, if it has been glazed, the patterns will look off if you glue it to something else or in a different pattern. Coincidently the imagery of the sheep is also associated with christianity and blind faith in general, describing religious people as the sheeps of god, as in their follower, and being a sheep, as in they do what they are told without questioning. The sheep beating the wolf, which could be a representation of freedom or personal identity and instinct, shows how religion tend to go after the people that doesn't think the same in a more than violent way, as seen countless time through history and even in current events. Religion will attack these contrary thought through indoctrination and outside judgement, while in the end the animation shows the wold devouring the head of the "Homunculus" and becoming its head, showing how they now embrace their "unholy" thoughts or that their true self won in a way.
this song really resonates with me too in my own way. since moving out from my extremely abusive parent's house, i felt like i had to make myself reborn. rebuild myself from the bottom up. reprogram myself and teach myself to stop constantly living in survival mode, teaching myself its ok to have boundaries and to say no. i also had to build some confidence and self esteem out of ashes and rubble. 5 years little to no contact with my parents, im doing worlds better, but its still a struggle sometimes. thats what this song means to be ♡ thanks Trickle
Oh I love this!!! I’ve always thought this before but both in your translyrics and your original work, the feeling of respect you have for Producers like Eve and Kanaria is so strong! I’m sure Kanaria would love this song if they heard it
trickle trickle trickle. your cover of where our blue is got me here and let me tell you this... *ill be waiting to see you become one of the best and well known singers of all time cause you literally have that.* coming from a fellow musician.
Thank you so so much, but I think you're overestimating me big time, hahahaha!! This is such a sweet comment though, and it made my day! Thank you so much!
DUDE!! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!! I can't tell you how much this means to me. I'm honored that my song meant enough to you that you'd donate anything at all!! Thank you for your generosity, my friend, may God bless you for your kindness :)
Finally read the Description, that’s Awesome! Personally, my Initial thoughts were it being of one Shrouded in Self-Hatred and Despising themself for whatever Reasons
That's exactly what it's about, haha! It's about a lot of things. This song is part of a song series I am working on, though, so it has personal meanings, personal meanings for anyone who listens, and meanings in the context of lore.
@@Trickle_Official Apologies for dinging your Notifications again or something, but I've neglected to mention I meant both what I said in the initial Comment, but also a second factor I struggle to describe (hence, it's initial exclusion) If I had to, I suppose it would be something of Escapism okey thank you bye (and thank you for your Awesome Covers Unrelated, but I'm a kid, ~16.32, in HS and I love Listening to them in my Freetime So glad you Uploaded the Kickback Cover otherwise I wouldn't have found your Channel and heard everything else Okey now I'm done ty bye)

It's so good the art the vocal range aaaaaa I love it =9 more pls
ITS GOOD BRO. And i hope you loved me seeing remake your thumbnail from twitter!
You wrote trash
Honestly, I am just really glad to see Christians who don't view the LGBTQ+ community as wrong or sinful. It is a scary world out there right now, and it is nice to see that the loud, hate filled voice isn't representative of the whole group.
Even as someone who isn't in the faith, I enjoy this song.
@@bestaround3323where the hell did you get that stereotype, I was raised in a school full of sisters and nuns and the only thing they wanted to teach us was to be a good person and to treat others with the same respect you have on yourself.

I love the song because of the feeling of controlled chaos!

+ body dysphoria??
I myself am agnostic, but this song resonates with me like no other. I deal with a lot awful self esteem and this song perfectly reflects some of those thoughts that show up. Also in general the sound of this is impeccable from the instrumentals and vocals.
Same here!

omg tysm!!!
Thank you very much! I was wondering what some of them were ^^
actual hero
This song was made me realize I was getting rid of my emotion to cope with past trauma and holy shit has this resonated with me. The pain of being chased by trauma that just won't leave you alone and trying literally everything to escape it.
Buddy, you shouldn't do that. Emotions are what make us human, what makes us feel love and hate. People without emotion and no regard for others are what we call psychopaths, psycho a root for emotion, and path a root for "none" or "a person who doesn't have"
@@xuan2336 you're right, and I _have_ been trying (and seems like succeeding!) To get back my emotions since I noticed, since I know that desensitizing to emotion is not good.
@@Tr0lliPop How'doya do that?

Thank you so much for the incredible work! You're beyond gifted and it was a real pleasure to be able to work with you again💙
Thank you for your hard work!! You did such an amazing job omfg like I'm obsessed with the way it came out! 😩💖💖💖
U DID GREAT
it's about religion it's about religious trauma it's about gender it's about sexuality it's about body dysmorphia it's about isolation from community it's about a funky little shapeshifter dude who becomes a wolf thing but most importantly it fuck severely (it's very good and I like it and it rotates in my brain frequently)
This also rotates in my brain frequently
Oh, I also find that this song suits masking and trying on different personalities to get people to like you
For me it’s about my dysphoria as i am transmasc and lack self esteem, but i think it’s so amazing that it can mean different things and be so special to so many people
@@aarasko ikr, I love things that can have a sh1t ton of interpretations. I love looking into different perspectives!
Also wanna add therian into the interpretation pile :]
can i just say as someone who isnt christian anymore and grew up in a christian household where i was forced to only listening to only christian music growing up, this song is one of the best ones ive ever heard. a lot of the songs i heard growing up were either about how excited people were to die and meet god or about how great and holy he is. which you know is fine and all but it felt like every song and it kind of made me sad since i was pretty well read on the bible and theres so many stories and versus you can take from and make something truely beautiful with and you... went and did that. you did something that I've wanted to see since i was a young kid. i may not walk down that religious path anymore, but seeing you inspired by your own religion to create something beautiful and with heart made me really happy.
im still christian, and im sorry you were forced into those ideals. my parents, mainly one of them, was heavy on the religion aspect but never forced me to only listen/watch christian stuff. I understand why you would walk away from that situation. sucks people like that exist :/
@@ChilledBacon yeah! i really appreciate you understanding since any time i mention this to people, they immediately turn around and go "well god is always waiting for you don't worry" which isn't the most reassuring thing to tell someone with religious trauma. im really happy you can find joy in your religion though!!! keep doing what makes you happy!
Sorry you went through that, i had parents who were very VERY religious and wouldn't let me listen or do anything they considered devilish and sinful, so when i listened to USSEEWA i for some reason felt better after that and my parents took away my device and told me i would go to hell because i betrayed their (my parents) trust? I was like 8 at the time this was happening but i remember some of it clearly, and so they would lock me in a closet and start reciting a prayer every night for 2 weeks, and so when i tried to talk to my religious relatives (i didn't know they were religious) they just said "just ask god for forgiveness and pray!" After that i gave up on trying to rebel and by the time i was 10 i remember standing on the edge of a bridge after i ran away from home, and a very nice woman saw me and immediately got me down and called the police, they came, i told them where i lived (took a bit because i wasn't and still not good with talking), my parents get arrested i think(?), and then i get put into an orphanage, WOAH this is long, kinda forgot what i was doing lol
Anyways i get a good family the end
I am sorry to hear about these experiences you guys have had. I also grew up in a toxic, pseudo-religious household with parents who would substitute scripture with their own beliefs and force it on me as if it's God's word. I avoided church and developing an understanding of the Bible until about a year ago (though for the last 4 years I have been studying various religions and theologies), when I began going to my local church only to find that what I had been taught growing up was not only not Biblical, but anti-Biblical. As Christians, we should NEVER force our beliefs or persecute others who don't share them. That is not living with the peace, joy, and comfort of the Spirit and it's often a reflection of people insecure about their beliefs. It's damaging to everyone and Christians should not be spreading hatred at all- especially not when it comes to spreading the Gospel of all things!
Even when Jesus was being beaten, tortured, crucified, and ridiculed, he never yelled at or forced himself onto anyone- and if anyone had the right to, it was him!
Unfortunately, a lot of people get stuck in the selfish thought that "if they don't agree with me, I have to be angry and force it on them!"
But I can tell you that those people are not living a lifestyle that they are called to live, if they truly are Christian.
If you ever want to email me with any questions about the Bible, please feel free to message me at TrickleYT@gmail.com and again, I am so sorry that you've had bad "Christian" examples. Unfortunately that's very common.
I like to make the Gospel readily accessible in my descriptions for anyone who wants it because of the way that it has set my heart free!
I used to struggle with depression and suicidal tendencies for years and could never find a way out until I began to explore my relationship with the Lord. So I want to spread that hope to anyone who feels called the same way I did!
I don't get notifications for all of my comments, so if you ever wanna get ahold of me, just shoot an email!
I hope that this message finds you, or anyone else down the road, in peace and love :)
I'm aslo someone who used to be a christian, though the people who raised me in faith aren't bad people nor had bad intentions. Even then, I find ironic how I relate so much which this song, written by someone inspired by his faith and who could move forward thanks to it, when in my case it was leaving behind religion what helped me. Not that I have any problem againts the author, i just find it courious.
as someone with depression and dysphoria who found no solace in religion, i pretty much interpreted the song as the opposite of what was originally intended, lol, and yet it really resonated with me! i think it's amazing how your lyrics are so versatile and open to interpretation, and speak to so many people because of it.
Oh hey same
Same, I didn't even realize it was about what it was
Same. I think it's so cool that this song can resonate with everyone. For example, both Christians and people in the lgbt community can resonate and bond over this, interpreting it in different ways, even when the two communities are usually at eachothers throats. I think it shows that peace isn't impossible to happen in the future, and that's kinda nice to think about.
Saaame.
@@HelmsmanButterscotch_OwO as a Christian most of us don't pay attention to the lgb stuff but has changed and the trans community is mainly a factor of it due to the violent nature of the stuff they have been doing and than that's tied to the lgb people there are two sides to each story but I'm telling the truth about what's going on right now
How does your voice just.... do that? Like... all of that?
Actually incredible. You're so talented and every single song you put out is a musical treat. This song is amazing; it's an easy full-day-play-on-repeat banger. Thank you.

No can we just talk about Trickle’s vocal range? Like one moment he can sing low and relaxed then later he can sing high and passionate. It’s honestly so cool and impressive.
1:24 sound design is CRAZY good; the pottery (mask) breaks and the singing and art changes to something more personal!! I love when metaphors come to life like this :DD
The visual art is amazing! At the beginning the focus is the yellow pottery, a mask, that overshadows the dark wolf but when yellow disappears we full recognize the person, body and mind
And the same thing happens with the singing too! At the very beginning the singing and music is clear and clean, but as the song continues the tempo increases giving that feeling of unraveling.
I love the parallelism of this song, and every different interpretation of it
This comment made my day, thank you 💙
It actually makes so much more sense interpreting the pottery and stuff as a mask. I felt like it meant something but wasn't sure what and like there's literally a brick wall, like a facade. A facade.
someone PLEASE tell me how this doesn’t have millions of views??? it deserves SO much more. wonderful job

Lyrics for the ones absolutely addict like me :
I realized in my last life that I hate the light
So I keep running and running, I'm trying to hide
From everything that's inside, this heart that I've tried
To erase and wash away all the shame
Scared to death of what's within
There's a bleeding kind of beating, deep beneath the skin
The rattle, ravage, all my sin
Hear it scream behind my chest again
No alchemy can give me what I wish I could be
So I'll try a different body!
Just a dash of this and that. A touch of blood and add some mud
My wishes, fears, and painful tears. I wonder when I'll have enough
No form of love can give me what I wish I could be
I'll pray just change me!
I'm broken, torn, and tattered
I'll never be full again
I'll close my eyes and shatter
My heart, rebuild from the start
Dis-gus-ting!
Even if I somehow find a way to feel alive,
I......aaaAAAAAA
Realized in my last life that I fear the light
So I keep running and running, I'm trying to hide
From everything that's inside, this heart that I've tried
To erase and wash away all the shame!
To erase and wash away all the shame!!!
Stuck in the mud in my mind, If I clean it up, I swear that I'd shine
I am confined to what is inside
Eating away at the thoughts that I'm trying to hide
And I'm sick of all this wondering if I even deserve to feel alive
I think it's best I rip these feelings out with the rest of it
The breath of life was my demise, I'm cursed until the day I die
Perhaps a better set of eyes will blind me from this sin of mine
I've been forsaken, I'm breakin', can't take it again
So peel from me my mind and let me be
I'm lower than the dirt
A worthless homonculus
Sick of this!
Even if I somehow find a way to feel alive,
I.....aaaAAAA
Realized in my last life that I hate the light
So I keep running and running, I'm trying to hide
From everything that's inside, this heart that I've tried
To erase and wash away all the shame!
To erase and wash away all the shame!!!
Toil all day, till this rotten clay
Water and blood just aren't enough
To fill my heart up
Over and over, I try to reshape
Crying in shame as I take the pain out
Maybe...
That can change me
That can save me
I'm broken, torn, and tattered
I'll never be full again
I'll close my eyes and shatter
My heart, rebuild from the start
Dis-gus-ting !
Even if I somehow find a way to feel alive
I.....aaaAAAAA
Realized in my last life that I hate the light
So I keep running and running, I'm trying to hide
So maybe in my next life, I'll finally find
Find a way to wash away all the shame!
To erase and wash away all the shame!!!

THAT'S IT GUYS I hope I wrote all of this without a mistake, hope you'll enjoy trying to sing along with the song!!
(Fr this song is so insane trickle ilu
Dude, the lyrics are literally _in_ the video
@@seldrake_fox7893 it's better to have something to look at while singing than trying to catch the lyrics in the video tho
The animation is so gorgeous holy crap, love the song too, absolute banger
Thank you so much, you are so cracked so your praise means a lot to me 🙇🏼♂️
Wow its dropster, worlds collide man
I doubt you'll see this, and I hope it doesn't come off as oversharing from some random person on the internet, but I'm a Christian who struggles with religious trauma+scrupulosity themed OCD and this song really speaks to me. The panic, the fear, the uncertainty, the pressure, the desperate grasping at straws that comes with this disorder that attacks everything that means the most to me - this song resonates with me, a lot. Lyrics aside even, the frantic pace mimics what it feels like inside my head. Chaos with moments of clarity.
I don't know where I'm going with this, but thank you for making it. Even though what I'm dealing with isn't what your song is about it makes me feel understood. It helps somehow. Legitimately, I was starting have an episode and I came here and now I think I feel ok.
While quite a lot of modern Christian music only wants to focus on the happy nice warm-fuzzy side of life......this feels real and relatable. Thank you.
That's exactly what my song is about :)
I wrote this song with many different thoughts and feelings in mind but, as an artist, what I hoped to accomplish was to let people who have felt this way feel heard. To let them know that as hard life is, things can be okay. You're not alone.
And most importantly, that the Lord loves those who call upon Him and lean upon Him for strength.
I'm happy that you made your voice heard to me. I used to struggle with trauma and still OCD as well, haha! Reading your words touched my heart.
I will be praying for you to find peace!
Thank you so much for listening to my song. I'm so honored that it could mean so much to you 💙
@kuukuu381 Oh my gosh! We live different lives and have different stories but I can totally relate to having religious trauma and dealing with scrupulosity/religious OCD. It was like a bolt of lightning hit me when I started going to biblical counseling and my counselor sent me home with an article on Scrupulosity. My heart goes out to you and your struggle. My brain felt like it was filled with a multitude of thoughts switching at a fever pace. I eventually began to believe that God hated me and saw me only as a slave, but counseling taught me that God was the one who drowned all the cruel taskmasters in the red sea in the book of Exodus. Gosh, God has been so faithful to me, I can't even express it. I used to almost hate him; I was so cynical about him, and felt so so so abandoned and left to my own suffering. It was literally earthshattering when I realized I had not been abandoned and that he was guiding me in the midst of suffering.
Trickle,
i live in a Christian family and i showed this to my mom (bear in mind she hates music that isnt worship/hymnal) ...she started crying. She said that it felt so accurate to her personal journey when i deciphered the morse code for her. So I want to thank you for this song. She now regularly listen to your original music, and your covers. Again tysm for making this ❤❤❤
God is good to the weary who come to Him for rest. I was so moved reading this... Please let your mother know that I am so thankful to hear that she has trusted in the Lord for salvation and that I will be praying for her and her family!
God is good and I am so grateful that He brought me to Him while I was lost in my sins. The world has so many distractions and empty promises, but God never fails and His word stays true! I look forward to being able to sing God's praises together in Heaven 💙
Please remind her that it is by Grace we are saved (Ephesians 2:8-9), not by our works- For no man is justified by the law (Galatians 2:16), so she can rest easy knowing that God has done all of the work for her on the cross when Christ died the death that we deserve because of His great love for us sinners (Romans 5:8-9)! Much love and peace to you and your family!
@@Trickle_Official tysm, i started crying reading this, the world is so blessed to have amazing Godly people like you ^^
I added onto my message since I accidentally clicked send early, hahaha, so I hope you can pass all that on and even be encouraged yourself by it my friend :)
God bless you, and thank you for listening to my silly music!
THE PREVIEW IS ALREADY SO GOOD OMG
I’m autistic and to say I struggle to make friends is an understatement. The amount of times I’ve completely destroyed and reconstructed myself in hopes that I’ll be wanted this time is almost un fathomable. This song really resonates with me for that reason. I’m also Christian so that adds a nice layer to it as well.
I know this song is far from being about this, but I relate to this song so hard as someone with autism.
The puzzle pieces feeling like people who say they care, but not enough to know about the most basic of things.
So many things that remind me of the autistic experience
Many autistic people struggle with identity, struggle with outside world, and people in general.
This song is great, its incredibly well made and giant props to the animator. I could go into how i relate to each line when it comes to autism, but we'd be here all day lol.
I'm happy to hear that you're able to feel heard through my song! My goal with this song was for it to be widely relatable on many different levels 💙
Yeah it really did resonate with me and my experiences on the spectrum
Literally no one:
Me: "Mafumafu, is that you?"
Haha, MafuMafu is a big inspiration to me, thank you ^^
Even as a Christian, I can relate this song to a lot more than my religion. I think everyone has a point in their life where they feel the need to change themselves to escape something, whether it be a wrong, the idea of who they were, or just to be different. It's a good song, great job Trickle.
a christian with a homestuck pfp? truly a rare sight
@@gxxthicflower I know. I've accepted the sin that is falling victim to the Huss
@@normalguy1729 respectable. have a good day
Everyone's talking about religion and I on the other hand see the depression hidden behind masks of fake excitement and joy, working with fast and energetic melody almost distracting from the dark lyrics. Which is neat.
I guess everyone sees this through the lens of their life.
The "Disgusting!" and "I" at 3:00 are so good omfg can't stop replaying that section YOU REALLY NAILED IT WITH THIS ONE! LIKE, BOTH OF YOUR ORIGINAL SONGS ARE SO GREAT??? HOW?
I originally interpreted the song in a different way, but I also like the original! Here’s my own interpretation (I might flesh it out more later):
So I think this song is about society as a whole and how you can never “be good enough”, no matter how many times you try to change it will never be enough in society’s eyes and I feel as if there is so much pressure on these standards it’s overwhelming “you have to act like this.” “You have to look like that.” And if someone doesn’t follow these they’re looked down upon or viewed as a “monster”.
@@minty111 it’s in the description box!
Yeah i guess u don't have to say "as atheist" cus this has nothing to do with being atheist
Like... this is the general interpolation for that
nothin special.
mine is something with body dysmorphia
@@null6482 well it does have something to do with it, cuz the actual meaning has to do with finding meaning in god, well from what I see in the description.
@@_Ter1an_ oh i didnt see that...thx tho
Thank you for your wonderful songs. I've been listening to your music for awhile now, and you always provide such a beautiful performance. This original song of yours was no different. ♥️ Please continue to do what you do.
Thank you so much!! This is the first time I've ever had a donation through a comment, too, what a huge honor for me, thank you!!!
Here to put out some idea on what the lyrics may mean. This is my first time trying to break down an entire song AAA
I have a strong feeling that this song represents suppressing an identity that is looked down upon by society or a religion. This song comes from a 1st person’s point of view, the singer. They are often seen going up against others in the video. The others in this video are either the singer themself(ves), greyed out figures, or the wolf, which also may be a metaphor for the singer fighting themself in this video. I will be using *peer(s)* instead of society, but it can very well be society.
Also love this song so much I have played it a million times already
What an incredible, incredibly well-thought-out analysis here! What a pleasure it was to read through this! Interesting interpretations here, I'm honored that my song can mean so much to so many 💙
@@Trickle_Official i really do love this song! Its why I tried breaking it down. The visuals and lyrics are so remarkables genuine as well. Thank you to the team for making this masterpiece that only comes around once in a blue moon!
So could it technically become a loop because of the end and the beginning part of the song?
@@ReiSuzuyaXIII yup, it can absolutely be a loop because the singer carries on to their next life
LITERALLY WOKE UP AT 9 FOR THIS, NO REGRETS.
Those high notes? Perfection. The lyrics? *chef’s kiss* The animation? Amazing, perfect. I loved your voice throughout the entire thing, and the inspiration behind the song just makes it so much more meaningful. A huge step-up from Ghost Town, which was already great. Looking forward to more, can’t wait to see where this journey takes you!! 💙
gonna go translate those morse code messages…
@@Margarita__0 lmk what the result is please
@@usasianology I believe somebody else has translated the messages in the comments! You could go search for their comment. I’m mostly doing this for my own enjoyment, but I might share the results when I get to it
This song is great, man. Always trying to change yourself and ignore the monster inside of you that beats you down constantly. It never being good enough because you’re just rejecting who you are, and then finally coming to terms with who you are and embracing that part of yourself that you’ve always been ashamed of. That’s what I got from this song, and I love it.
WOW I WAS BLOWN AWAY, the MV was absolutely amazingly done props to Venz, the instrumental I love so much it surpassed my expectations by large from the preview. Finally the lyrics and vocals were amazing too of course, everything was so good thank you Trickle!
Edit: Just wanted to emphasize just how hard the instrumental goes god it’s so good!
Im getting major Eve vibes from this - PERFECTION
yay
THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!! Trickle you've gone above and beyond this time. This was so worth the wait and I can't wait to see what original song you'll release next!!! Also Venz did an incredible job on the MV it's seriously such goals.
(Also your vocal range.... stop flexing so much, man... I'm jealous)
Give me your voice and we'll call it even 🤝
Micchi!
The beats are funky fresh and it’s got a silly little guy in the video. It’s perfect
christian j-pop is probably a new genre
HAHAHAHAH!! LET'S GOOOOO 🤣
Finally, Christian music I can enjoy!
Edit:
I do want to clarify, It's not "Christian Music" (in the sense that it appeals exclusively to people of faith), I'm just a Christian who makes music. For me, Homunculus is partly a song about who I use to be- what God saved me from. But that's what it means for *me*. But I wrote it to be something special for everyone.
As a Christian weeb I approve.
imagine the church ensemble just starts blasting “homunculus”
Finally something i like. Normal Christian music kinda bores me so this is great
@@Litol.fvx_vs what about Toby Mac or NF?
I know this song is about something else but; as a homosexual who grew up in a homophobic community this song has a lot of personal connections I can relate to.
I'm glad you made the theme ambiguous so people can make their own connections to the song as well.
That Is so me lol
The "try different body" part also hits me hard cuz im having like the worst gender dysphoria in years, i really love this song
Oh boy, read the document trickle putted in the description. Its pretty homophobic
Edit: This was in response to someone's comment, but they have since deleted it.
I encourage you to read the document, and see that I point to myself first and foremost as a sinful person who, even as a Christian, continues to sin. It's not my place to judge anyone or make them change- conviction and repentance both come from God, not from people.
I genuinely believe that the Bible is the Word of God and I want to honor God as best as I can- it's out of love that God has told us what's against Him and what separates us from Him. I believe this with all my heart, so for me to not mention that we can't work our way into Heaven, and that Christ has paid the price for us and calls those who trust in Him to live lives for Him would be the opposite of loving for me to do.
I'm not telling anyone how to live their lives, I'm spreading what I believe is God's Word and am letting Him do the rest. No Christian and no person has the right to pass judgement on anyone, God is the judge of us all- He commands all Christians to love one another; we're no better than anyone else. Our righteousness only comes from Jesus, not from our behavior because, at the end of the day, I'm still a sinful human being standing before a righteous God.
I hope that you can see the way that I interact with my fanbase, despite whatever background they come from, with love and gratitude, and not label me with blanket statements that don't understand the core of what I believe or take into account the way I behave.
I also don't want this message to come across as me just standing up for myself, but for me standing up for the God who loved me enough to lay down His life for me and conquer death so that I may live a life of peace here on earth, and an eternity with Him who loves me.
While I was still His enemy in my sins, Christ died for me. And that's a love worth serving to me.
Also, I would like to add that this song is open to be interpreted by anyone in any way. Just because I'm a Christian doesn't mean that my beliefs are to be imposed on the rest of the world or art. Homunculus isn't a Christian song, just a song written by a Christian.
I hope this message finds you well, and in peace, my friend 💙
@@sadisticanonymity Oh, I was responding to a different person but it seems that they have since deleted their comment :/
@@Trickle_OfficialOh okay that makes sense, I was confused because I couldn’t understand how what you were saying related to the original comment.
This is, and i'm not kidding, the BEST song I've ever listened to. I just can't describe the amount of passion put into it. If every original song Trickle makes is gonna be like this one, I don't know if my heart can take it.😅
Man. This really feels close to home feeling a lot like how my self loathing is. Hating yourself for that long but being almost oblivious to it till it really gets bad. Wanting to change yourself but either being too lazy, or just not good enough for yourself.
My thoughts on the song are that the clay-headed guy (I'll just call him Clay) is an avatar for the dark figure (Not sure what to call him but he'll just be the dark figure guy) who appears at 1:16. Clay is the outward personality that's shown to others as he has very animated personality and expressions. On the other hand, the dark figure is his inward personality, who never shows his head and is very motionless compared to Clay. The dark figure changes himself whenever he feels like he's not good enough by remolding Clay's face. This is seen here at 1:14 where he slaps Clay's face to remold him after he decides to change again. I'm not sure who the sheep/lamb character represents (1:41 and 1:54), but I know Trickle says that he based this song on the Gospel of the Bible, so maybe there's a connection there? Also, I assumed the wolf character was the dark figure's persona?? Idk.
This is a really rough idea, and I decided to work on this instead of doing my homework lol. Feel free to add your thoughts! Also, congrats on 50k Trickle! I can't wait to hear more of your work!
The lamb maybe is the part of him that want to have control of his personality, and want to change accordingly to the bible
So the lamb and the wolf are constant in fight to see who will be controling the body
I love your interpretation of Clay as an avatar. I think this song embodies a struggle we all go through, but is especially difficult for people with anxiety and depression. The use of creativity and clay holds a potential double-meaning because many artists express struggling in a similar fashion; people who shape their craft AND themselves in hopes of making value in both.
I think the lamb represents a moral paradigm. Based on the song's influence, this could easily be attributed to religious dogma, but it can retain its symbolism even a secular framing if you choose to view the wolf as the id and the lamb as the super-ego. Coming from an agnostic/atheistic perspective, I feel the secular interpretation has a more complex impact. If you take the lamb as dogma, it already holds the champion's corner; it's painted as axiomatically correct, and any opposition to it is simply an antagonist. However, the super-ego is simply the sense of obligations and standards we feel based on our culture and upbringing, as well as a big contribution to our sense of shame, which is a big theme in the lyrics.
I feel like the animation better reflects the latter in Clay's expressions when they watch the two fight. There's worry and uncertainty, eyes darting between them both. Even when the lamb is victorious, it's presented with a red vignette in an ominous manner, indicating that neither of the two winning is objectively good. Even if many of Freud's psychological theories didn't hold much water, the id and super-ego tell a story we can all relate to, regardless of our creed. We all need to balance ourselves between our desires and our morals, and it's terribly difficult.
There is an interesting irony when this song is interpreted in a more secular light: Although religious dogma of all kinds has been a powerful tool for helping humanity solve its internal struggles since time immemorial, Clay's maker is struggling with internalized values, shame and self-loathing, and those things arise from a sense of morality. A creature that thinks only with their drives and instincts would not know shame... So, in a way, the entire struggle Clay is going through is what happens when lamb wins and shame reigns.
I'm aware my metaphor has some weaknesses in it, particularly in that the "wolf as id" would not be the one speaking doubts to Clay's maker. A "wolf as doubt" vs. "lamb as faith" metaphor would reflect that better, but the song is primarily about the internal struggles and self-valuing of Clay's maker, rather than faith, so I'm not sure a simple metaphor will work for the lamb and wolf in this case.
I’ve never heard english embody the energy of JPop so well. I love it.
MY God, that entire final part of the song is literal perfection jeez. How can your voice, like, do all of that??
Hahaha, thank you so much!
Lots of practice 💙
I find myself coming back to this song again and again. I literally can't stay away from it, It's so good.
WHY AM I ONLY FINDING THIS SONGS AFTER ITS BEEN OUT FOR TWO YEARS??? THIS US JUST- AKCLLSKS
Been listening to this song since it’s release and the final “erase and wash away all the shame” never fails to give me chills.
I went back to your old original song and god, I’m so excited to see how you’ll top that up!
Please don’t eat me I swear I’m subbed lol
Edit: Aghhh I don’t wanna edit because of the heart but I need to express my gratitude and joy at this song! Never thought it’d be inspired by some verses, but it’s great nevertheless! I like the inclusion of Morse code, and some of the lower parts, it really touched me for some parts! We love you Trickle man, thx for the vocals and thanks for Venz and Tikaal too! (I’ll check later for spelling errors)
You have been spared ^^
No matter how many times I watch this. I will never find another video that will make me feel more seen. Even if it isn’t the same message or meaning, I connect to every frame, every note, and every lyric. Thank you
Then this song was made for you 💙
Thank you for watching!
This is great, I personally cannot find anything ugly about it - there's something very beautiful and heart-wrenching about trying to escape the shame and weight of mortal existence... thank you for another wonderful original!!! 🤍
I can't imagine any other person singing this song, its just such a perfect fit for your voice! It also isn't predictable despite not being chaotic, you hit the perfect balance!
Oh my God? This song rules big time. The instrumental (the amount of different instruments and genres), the lyrics and the singing (the imagery and the message), the music video (the quality and variety of the art)? They all compliment each other so neatly and make a great picture together that transmits a lot of emotion. I'm genuinely impressed by the quality of this track. Props to the team who worked on it and congrats on the 50k subs!
(Oh and love the fact it's inspired by the Gospel too; damn, it worked *so* well)
The song combined with the visuals is something truly outstanding.
I'm someone with really terrible depression and anxiety for over a decade and it's insane how resonant the lyrics are, along with the symbolism of the visuals blending in perfectly.
As someone who's self loathing cycle is also killing themselves, this was really cathartic. I'm really grateful you made this along with getting such a perfect music video to go along with it.
With the way how you sang this, I can feel the emotion that you really want to deliver the message of "not living up to your own expectations no matter how good you want to be", and it wins me the most that you were able to convey those emotions!
CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR MORE FROM YOUR ORIGINALS IN THE FUTURE!
My comment is a bit late, however I just have to say that I listen to this song every day, multiple times a day. Whilst I'm not religious and see the song in a different way to Trickle's meaning, the lyrics are so well formed and not to mention the insane range of vocals. Even now I still get tingles whenever I listen to it. Very well done, you don't understand how much this song means to me in the grand scheme of things
Aw... I missed the premiere, but heard the song and you and Tikaal did an amazing song, mixing many things that I didn't expected and to worked really well, great job to both. Of course Venz movie skills are always amazing 😉👍
Thank you so much, Marvin!!
GOD I love the bridge right before each chorus, it's so hype. This is absolutely stunning, every part of it.
The way the legs tangle like streamers on the bike 😆 . You can really feel the emotions in this song, was worried that your voice was gonna get strained at the high notes.
Listened and fell in love immediately! The beat and erratic tone reminded me of a modern anime opening or a vocaloid song but it plays out so smoothly in the English language. Then I realized you did anime covers and it all made sense! They are just as smooth!! They feel like they could have been originally written in English. I’ve listened to good covers but the translations always sounded a bit off… They’re good BUT yours are GOOD!!! You’ve got insane skills.
Thank you so so much!! This comment made my day 😭💙
This is such a comforting song in not only its lyrics, but also its style. It's so clearly inspired by the likes of Eve and ADO, but it also feels distinctly yours in a way that makes it always feel like coming home to a warm house in winter
This one took me a while to listen to because life hit me like a truck, but I can always trust your music to cheer me up :)
HOLY SHIT THIS VOICE FEELS LIKE FINALLY REACHING TO SCRATCH AN ITCHY SPOT BUT ITS LIKE IN MY BRAIN?????
Hahahaha, thank you 🤣
This has been stuck in my head since the first time it was teased and it's so satisfying to be able to see it as a full and finished product! The vocals, the key and tempo changes, it all blends together in such a mind blowing way to make such a catchy song.
You've truly outdone yourself with this one, Trickle!
My interpretation of this song and its animation shows that of a kid who’s suffering from domestic abuse, trying to “reshape” themselves to fit what the abuser wants them to be. However, it is never enough for them. The victim is missing something to fill themselves, which is why they still continue to reshape themselves despite the abuse, believing that if they reshape themselves in the image of the abuser’s desires, the abuser will give them the final piece they need.
However, that is just one interpretation.
Another way I interpret this as is that the ram is actually the bad guy. The green wolf, (previously mentioned as the abuser), is a part of the aforementioned victim that the ram continues to keep at bay from the victim, forcing the victim into a constant relapse where they will continue to try to find who they are until the wolf can reach them and make them whole.

LYRICS:
I realized in my last life
That I hate the light
So I keep running
And running
I'm trying to hide
From everything that's inside
This heart that I've tried
To erase and wash away all the shame
Scared to death of what's within
There's bleeding kind of beating, deep beneath the skin
Feel the rattle, ravage, all my sin
Hear it scream behind my chest again
No alchemy can give me what I wish I could be
So I'll try a different body
Just a dash of this and that
A touch of blood and add some mud
My wishes, fears, and painful tears
I wonder when I'll have enough
No form of love can give me what I wish I could be
I pray just change me
I'm broken, torn, and tattered
I'll never be full again
I'll close my eyes and shatter
My heart, rebuild from the start
Disgusting
Even if I somehow find a way to feel alive
I
Realized in my last life
That I hate the light
So I keep running
And running
I'm trying to hide
From everything that's inside
This heart that I've tried
To erase and wash away all the shame
To erase and wash away all the shame
Stuck in the mud in my mind, if I clean up, I swear that I'd shine
I am confined to what is inside
Eating away at the thoughts that I'm trying to hide
And I'm sick of all this wondering if I even deserve to live
I think it's best I rip these feeling out with the rest of it
The breath of life was my demise
I'm cursed until the day I die
Perhaps a better set of eyes
Will blind me from this sin of mine
I've been forsaken, I'm breaking, can take it again
So take from me my mind and let me be
I'm lower than the dirt
A worthless Homunculus
Sick of this
Even if I somehow find a way to feel alive
I
Realized in my last life
That I hate the light
So I keep running
And running
I'm trying to hide
From everything that's inside
This heart that I've tried
To erase and wash away all the shame
To erase and wash away all the shame
Toil all day, till this rotten clay
Water and blood just aren't enough
To fill my heart up
Over and over I try to reshape
Crying in shame as I take the pain out
Maybe that can change me
That can save me
I'm broken, torn, and tattered
I'll never be full again
I'll close my eyes and shatter
My heart, rebuild from the start
Disgusting
Even if I somehow find a way to feel alive
I
Realized in my last life
That I hate the light
So I keep running
And running
I'm trying to hide
So maybe in my next life
I'll finally find
Find a way to wash away all the shame
To erase and wash away all the shame
Hyyype
Hella HYPEEEEEEEE
I'm lower than the dirt a worthless humunculus
The hype is real
@@mythicchris no trickle I'm sorry 😭😭😭😭please don't throw me in a blender with chainsaws and fog guts please don't do it ｡･ﾟﾟ*(>д
Honestly I normally don't comment on videos, but I wanted to say, not only are the visuals astounding and inspiring, the music and the freedom of just how you created this song (alongside it being an original) is amazing, and thank you so much for sharing this with us! Such different interpretations of so many people to take, I'm glad I finally clicked and watched this, truly I adore this song, the the visuals truly encapsulate almost this raw feeling to them, it's amazing, thank you all for blessing my eyes with this (all who worked on this)!
This is absolutely beautiful!!! From the song to Venz’s beautiful artwork and vision for this mv, it’s absolutely beautiful. You all absolutely knocking it out of the park this time, I’m in awe
First off let me say, this is my favorite song of all time, and i'm not even Christian. I just love the way you depicted the internal struggle of everything that was going on so well, it's honestly amazing
For me, this song reminds me of my depression, a constant feeling of self doubt and overall unenjoyment with life, but at the same time having to express myself and at the very least try to, build myself back up after all my past failures, ultimately losing a bit of who I am in the process, whether it was worth it or not is my choice. That is my take on Homunculus
But I'm sure I'm not the only one with a interpretation of this song, and that's what makes this song so perfect, it always seems to capture exactly how I feel in life, truly a work of art, thank you to everyone who worked on this, I love this song.
I knew since seeing the short snippet of the trailer that I'd absolutely love it and I think it's safe to say this is one of my favourite songs already. It has everything I love in music with the strained emotional voice, crazy instrumental, and the lull in the song. And the visuals! Good lord this song is incredible!
This looks like one of those music video animations you make in your head while listening to a song except it actually exists
bro this song is so perfect... catchy tune, profound lyrics, beautiful pv, epic trickle scream, i love this so much. i didnt expect the song to fit so well in my tastes
like holy shit, the mc being a wolf and wanting to be a lamb... it hits
bruh
I had this on my recommended on my Spotify and I just "woah this one is nice. I'll favorite it."
and then two seconds later I find this video.
my phone is spying on me.

I can't convey to you how encouraging it is to find another believer in the wilds of the internet.
Fantastic songs! I'll be praying for you!
I just watched that entire video - start to finish - with my jaw on the floor. Such a pretty song, from theme to vocals to visuals, it's all around gorgeous. Thank you to everyone who worked hard on this.
this is my first time checking out an original song of yours and IM BLOWN AWAY
Thank you SO much!!! 🙇🏼♂️💙
ive had the opposite experience with the christian gospel, but this song still greatly resonated with me before i read the description. though i regret reading it lol. as someone living a life without leaning the christian god myself, I can't really unsee your artistic intent in the imagery and lyrics. ended up reminding myself of the many times i was threatened with eternal damnation and such if i never repented.
not out of any distaste for you or your experiences, Im glad you found something that pulled you out of such a dark place, and that youre still here to share that experience at all.
So I guess ultimately im just personally venting due to bad experiences with the religion. Really appreciate that Homunculus is up to anyone's interpretation. And regardless of that, I still want to thank you for creating such a wonderful music video
THIS IS LITERALLY PUNPUN HOLY SHIT
LIKE THE COMPLETE CHARECTER ARC AND EVERYTHING HOLY CANNOLI
I just find your channel and your songs, and after listening to this particular one, I have to say
Your vocal range could be used as a weapon, it's crazy, you're crazy for writing this amazing song, I love it, I love what you're doing
Keep it up until you can, best wishes from Hungary
Wow, thank you so so much! May God bless you, my friend!
Thank you for your kind words and thank you for watching 💙
I'm incredibly late to this but oh my god...I feel absolutely speechless, like fr I was just gutted and left with this shaking and sinking feeling.
Such a raw and chilling song. Your writing is absolutely crazy, Trickle coupled with Tikaals's amazing instrumentation (the tempo changes and the modulation had me screaming) and Venz's absolutely gutteral and flowing visuals.
I just. I'm so utterly floored.
Thank you so much for this song. It's comforting somehow despite the sense of sheer dread I get after the lyrics hit me and I read more about your inspiration.
I seriously look forward to more of your originals!!! This is amazing
So glad this song can be interpreted in so many ways. We need more music like this.
To add my meaning onto what this song means to me:
I find that it resonates a lot with depression and things that come along with that/I’ve gone (and still am going) through like SH. Particularly the first set of verses: “Scared to death of what’s within- there’s a bleeding kind of beating deep beneath the skin- the rattle, ravage, all my sin- hear it scream behind my chest again.” “My wishes, fears, and painful tears; I wonder when I’ll have enough- no form of love can give me what I wish i could be.” “I’m broken, torn, and tattered.”
Like- fucking hell that hits hard- very good music though-!!!!!! Good job ^^ /gen
The vocals! The beat! It’s all so amazing! Really great job, this song is such a banger!!
I myself am atheist, but I can still enjoy this music with my own meaning. To me it reminds me of my own body dysphoria and coming to terms with it and understand I will in time be able to change myself, I just must be patient
The lyrics, instrumentals, MV is PERFECTION.
Congrats on your second original!!!
"My heart, rebuild from the start."
"Disgusting."
And
"Even if I somehow find a way to feel alive..."
Fits me so well
I’m so hype!!!!!!!!!! I CANT WAIT!!! ANOTHER TRICKLE ORIGINAL!!! Congrats on 50k you deserve all the subs and more!!! Can’t wait to see you grow further in your artistic/singing abilities and in your following!! 👏👏👏🥳🥳🥳
I seriously cant get over how good this is. Theres only been a few songs I put on repeat and listen to hours of. All of which I still regularly listen to later down the road too. Seriously the song, the lyrics, especially the animation, everything is so amazing~
This so awesome, buddy! I could really feel the emotion in it so well and the interpretations I can actually apply to my own life so well, and this honestly makes this more personal to me, and I appreciate that. Being able to find common ground with the music you listen to can be so revealing and can sometimes help you to understand more about yourself, and imo, this truly has done that for me. So, thank you, Trickle. For being an awesome artist, and an awesome friend. ✊❤️🙏
Im not sure if this was intentional or not but with the imagery of the clay and the lyrics "I realized in my past life, I hate the light; So I keep running and running, I'm trying to hide" might be an accidental play with how clay is typically "fired" or cooked through a kiln (aka an oven made for cooking clay) which produces a light. So by constantly keeping himself (the character or Homunculus) in a bisque-ware state (aka a non cooked state) he can continuously reshape who he is and try to become someone "good enough" as once a piece is put in the kiln and fired, it cannot be changed. (unless you like cook another piece and hot glue it on)
either way this song is SOOOOO cool !!!!! very excited for what else you make trickle, I'm super excited to hear ur next original whenever it may be !!!! ^_^
Another point of interest is that the sheep (which I believe is meant to represent Jesus, or perhaps simply faith), is not only fired but also glazed with a beautiful pattern, probably meant to represent how God is already perfected.
@@TheDragonCat99 It could also symbolise how obsessive, blind Faith shapes people and makes them impenetrable to change, just like you can't change clay that has been cooked, and even if you break it, if it has been glazed, the patterns will look off if you glue it to something else or in a different pattern. Coincidently the imagery of the sheep is also associated with christianity and blind faith in general, describing religious people as the sheeps of god, as in their follower, and being a sheep, as in they do what they are told without questioning. The sheep beating the wolf, which could be a representation of freedom or personal identity and instinct, shows how religion tend to go after the people that doesn't think the same in a more than violent way, as seen countless time through history and even in current events. Religion will attack these contrary thought through indoctrination and outside judgement, while in the end the animation shows the wold devouring the head of the "Homunculus" and becoming its head, showing how they now embrace their "unholy" thoughts or that their true self won in a way.
@@kanamo6181 Great analysis! It’s crazy how many different interpretations there are of this one video.
this has HUGE EVE vibes and im all here for it
this song really resonates with me too in my own way. since moving out from my extremely abusive parent's house, i felt like i had to make myself reborn. rebuild myself from the bottom up. reprogram myself and teach myself to stop constantly living in survival mode, teaching myself its ok to have boundaries and to say no. i also had to build some confidence and self esteem out of ashes and rubble. 5 years little to no contact with my parents, im doing worlds better, but its still a struggle sometimes.
thats what this song means to be ♡ thanks Trickle
OH MY GOD THIS SONG IS SO INCREDIBLE! I’ve literally been addicted to it ever since I heard it. I absolutely adore it
This is incredible!! I'm so glad this popped up in my recommendations, this fills me with so much inspiration!! Can't wait to hear more from you!
I really wanna see you make more original songs! This sounds good, but I’m excited for the full thing!
I’ve heard the whole thing, and it sounds amazing. I love the visuals and the instrumental, and your voice even compliments it more.
Oh I love this!!! I’ve always thought this before but both in your translyrics and your original work, the feeling of respect you have for Producers like Eve and Kanaria is so strong! I’m sure Kanaria would love this song if they heard it
trickle trickle trickle. your cover of where our blue is got me here and let me tell you this... *ill be waiting to see you become one of the best and well known singers of all time cause you literally have that.* coming from a fellow musician.
Thank you so so much, but I think you're overestimating me big time, hahahaha!! This is such a sweet comment though, and it made my day! Thank you so much!
My Homonculus shirt arrived today and I'm in love with it! Such a great design and such a great song! Thank you Trickle and Venz!
AWESOME!!!! Thank you so much for your support 💙
This is frickin amazing, I would give more but Im poor lol
DUDE!! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!! I can't tell you how much this means to me. I'm honored that my song meant enough to you that you'd donate anything at all!! Thank you for your generosity, my friend, may God bless you for your kindness :)
@@Trickle_Official No problem bro ❤
Finally read the Description, that’s Awesome!
Personally, my Initial thoughts were it being of one Shrouded in Self-Hatred and Despising themself for whatever Reasons
That's exactly what it's about, haha!
It's about a lot of things.
This song is part of a song series I am working on, though, so it has personal meanings, personal meanings for anyone who listens, and meanings in the context of lore.
@@Trickle_Official Ooh, I see! That’s Awesome! :D
@@Trickle_Official Apologies for dinging your Notifications again or something, but I've neglected to mention I meant both what I said in the initial Comment, but also a second factor I struggle to describe (hence, it's initial exclusion)
If I had to, I suppose it would be something of Escapism
okey thank you bye

Unrelated, but I'm a kid, ~16.32, in HS and I love Listening to them in my Freetime
