I can say confidently that lorn has by far one of the most distinguishable and unique sounds in the elecronic music scene
Lorn transcends everything. Never heard anything like it and I’ve listened everywhere.
@@freeradicalpanda Inzo
@@freeradicalpanda For me Lorn Forest Swords Burial and GAS are the ones i go to when im looking for that type of atmosphere
@@nickkhepri7689 Thanks man. I’ll check them out.
His sound design is incredible
11 years have passed, but I come back again and again to listen this masterpiece, which has revealed the inexplicable in me, again and again...
I haven't gone too long without listening to this since it came out. It's one of my favorite tracks ever tbh
If a viscous, ethereal, black liquid doesn't start leaking out of every orifice when you listen to this track, you're not listening to it right.
Exactly
hahahaha
Thanks. Any idea how to clean that stuff up? It sticks to everything.
@@theterminaldave Therapy. LOL.
@Chadfield Clapsaddle "having a thick, sticky consistency between solid and liquid; having a high viscosity"
The words that come after the word you're trying to spell are important too.
Completely obsessed with this artist. This song in particular.
same here!
thirded
Smells Like E Minor me too!
Me too.....I can't go back to anything else now....I am fucked.
"Batty's theme" has me hog tied
This is my workout cry. All I need is this to push through. Been coming back to this for years.
Give me a drug and i'll take it
Watching you sharpen knives
You give me hell but i'll make it
I've still got one good eye
Blind as a fool I can fake it
Telling the truth with lies
But it won't be long 'til I break it
'Cause you know, you know
You weigh me down
😊good ear
+Peyton Pendley Polish...
+Damian Zając O__O the lyrics!!!! XD i love it!!!!!
I though it was
'Cause you know, yeah you know
You weigh me down
it sounds like theres an extra word there, maybe its just "cause you know" repeated again ?
"Cause you oughtta know, cause you oughtta know, you weigh me down."
That papery, added snare section gives this industrial element that is essential to this song.
DUDE IS ON A WHOLE DIFFERENT PLANE OF EXISTENCE!
Mike B ROFLMFAO
+Mike B ABSOLUTE MADMAN!
+Mike B WHY ARE WE YELLING!?
ITS SO POWERFUL!
LOUDER LOUDER!
this song, lyrics and video combined, speaks to me on so many personal levels, and it never gets boring. Always get goosebumps when listening to it.
Give me a drug and I'll take it

@@fidmid Just psychosis or a spam bot broken lmao.
@@overkillgaming1424”You won’t you won’t you won’t you won’t weigh me down.”
By far one of the best songs from Lorn
My top 3 is : Sega Sunset / entangled / Diamond
This, Anvil and Acid Rain are my favorites but there are so many great songs.
*One of THE best tracks I have ever heard when this was released. Nothing has changed since.*
Can't believe Lorn isn't bigger than he currently is.
Wow, I just noticed at the start, it clearly shows him struggling to go forward (Meaning with the flow of everyone else) so he turns around and tries to go back (having a different look on life) but he can't fit in with anyone. He's just getting torn down by society. Damn that hits me. I've got a job but it'd be so easy for me to just fall out and die.
Looks to me like she's a humanoid cow hybrid that moved from a slaughterhouse to a mall of some sorts where her species are being consumed. Then out of rage she turns and kills the humans that are causing her species to suffer.
She falls, because she may have been a dairy cow that's got milk fever or some kind of disease that makes it hard to walk for her. When she arrives at the slaughterhouse the scenery changes; no more trees, just pure hell. Chains, blood and suffering. She manages to escape and find refuge in a mall, but to her surprise instead of the general public being outraged or helpful all that's happening is that people are zealously eating the rotting corpses of her species. Her anger fills her with destructive power and she seeks to destroy the people that want her brethren to suffer.
Pretty close to reality.
@@eaalders628 I hate it when a humanoid cow hybrid splats me against a wall when I'm walking down the street.
@@henstar337 Lmao
@@eaalders628Yep, thought it's exactly how you put it.
It doesn’t matter how often I listen to this song it never gets old. I can relate to it on such a deep level and get goosebumps every single time. Lorn has a very unique style.
Lord Lorn is bringing you perfection from another planet .
+Naome Kuran accurate
plane of reality*
This is very fitting. His music to me really is other worldly
I have been addicted to this song's combined melody and loud beat for about 3 days now, not sure I want it to stop
To me it comes off as His problems weighed him down so much that people see him as less than human for not being able to change or fix them, making him worth the same as an animal, nothing. Being rejected by society, he became the beast they saw him as by letting his probelms consume Him and took his revenge. Destroying them like they did his humanity, ignoring their pain like they ignored his. Then agian ive only watched this once and its late so I could be wrong.
Or you’re onto something
completely spot on.
@HexagramMan I don't feel the drugs are the focus but a line to flesh out the desperation of the speaker.
OoO
Ugh! Tough...the lyrics point to a personal struggle as opposed to the video, which leads you to believe it's "you vs the uncaring world." Either way if it speaks to you follow the music...
i don't know how i've listened to this so many times but...it serves its purpose and never gets old. At least not yet.
This is perfection....
I agree.
+Sam Smith Yea.
Everybody EVERYBODY!... ... ... Please keep the comments short! Its taking people to long to read all of THAT! Any longer and someone might think you have a point.
This song successfully fills me with anger everytime I listen to it.
The better to destroy the system with.
Anger is a very unstable source of power.
Me it’s the reverse! It calms me down from anger
Makes me want to dance
As a constant recovering crack and heroin addict as well as alcoholic, this song shows me that my drugs I choose to do weigh me down and I take this journey to death as my relapses continue. I don't know anyone elses stories but this one touches on a very emotional level for me. Thank you, lorn.
HexagramMan 2 edgy 4 us. so profound
that edge wasnt needed, we got enough from the vid! thanks!
HexagramMan You just need a hug. But that's okay. Love is around the corner friend. Just don't hide!
are you a 14 year old nihilist
*****
That's a lot of assumptions you just made about my life and values based on a meme! You clearly think very highly of yourself. But here's a dose of realism for you: you criticized OP for talking about being a former addict, for being an addict at all and not hiding it, and encouraged relapse. For shits and giggles, or because you're miserable or whatever. Talk about pathetic
As if OP's an asshole for having an emotional response to music like most people on the planet. And then to say he's "griping"--in the same breath as you saying what's the point of getting clean and complaining about your personal life? You're a joke lmao. If this is how you act irl, no wonder you have to put 'friends' in quotes.
Don't mistake your own apathy for some kind of heightened intelligence or superiority. OP never asked for your opinion about his life or his decisions and you don't know shit about him or anybody here. You're not smarter than people because you're unhappy and you're not special or unique. you're just a massive douchebag and your shitty life that you hate is entirely your own fckin problem, not ours lmao :)
This reminds me of "Animal Farm" soooo much. The ideas are slightly different, but it's so Orwell-like.
But Orwell wasn't a dumb ass satanic moron.
Well, then Animal Farm was full of dumbass satanic morons. Plenty of them.
I believe the term is Orwellian, friend. :)
i think this sort of echoes the ideology in animal farm.. how “Animalism” is in the book relates to escaping from the chains of an abusive society to finally be free and share equality with others. but as the book progresses this isn’t what it turns out to be
i love that loose floor tom sound. gives it that industrial feel.
Lorn is a geniuse...I'm addicted....
The mouth and deep voice is my favorite and I don’t know why..
For one and half year after i saw this music video, i saw that mouth and heard that voice in my head. Can you imagine that?
IMAGINE I SAW THAT MOUTH AND AND HEARD THAT VOICE FOR ONE AND HALF YEAR.
God. I suffered from sleep paralysis. I was constantly seeing image of hill of corpse and how the bull figure proudly stood on it, while i was in sleep paralysis. At those time, a high pitched tune in my head drove me mad. I'm glad im recovered.
Have you seen Lorn's Ghosst(s) music video?
Same story.
it sounds so menacing and nice at the same time.
Lorn's production can seriously end the world, no joke
Dangerous insinuation
Just wanted to comment here to proudly share that I've been sober for 851 days.
congrats!
have a nice day to you dude.
How about a drink to celebrate
As a person with a 1 year old, I wonder if I'll have a moment where I'll share my love of this artist, or if I'll just have to keep that one to myself.
My favorite thing about this kind of music with synchronized videos is the vague, simple or just plain no lyrics. It leaves it up for interpretation! I've read several different takes here in the comment section and it only makes me love it more!
Yeh I like the barely there Lyrics
the amount of pain this got me through in high school..and all the dark thoughts as well..
I'm new to Lorn and have many favorite tunes. But I've had this song on repeat since I discovered it yesterday. Amazing!
I always come back to this song and album, and it never weighs me down. 🙂
Society made him what he is, so he tore it down.
I agree, and he never fit in. Though he knew better, he still tried.

gibson It generally does. "Remember, remember the 5th of November".
Now here is a nice one, you got the Adsa fella all pissed, telling everyone to go die because he is one of those confused angwy twats who thinks Lorn is this morbid and dark music and we should be all Satan! .. .. Fucking huMan! You can bow now Minion. Then we have the obvious classic projecting of self image with lmvello, dont worry we are all guilty.. with pleasure in fact, so not judging. But Lorn strikes me as someone who YES can comprehend and even manage such levels, i say this because here we are.. discussing said skill.. i would not put it past Lorn to bring attention to this for our consideration! I believe people like Lorn are a step in evolution right before our eyes. An animal with hightened perceptions (S). Not voodoo, religious gifts, magical powers reserved for the few.. but nature tweaking away producing people with Autism who suffer from sensory overload among other high contrast persona traits. The lifeforce (call it what you wish) knows no bounds other than the laws of physics, it cares NOTHING of moral implication...
the movie quote guy "V" is it not? Or you know Human history... still a short comment Brother... is that really all you can muster?
I see comments devoid of passion or genuine interest.. the desire to fit in or belong is a common motive from my numbers.
You claim to be a fan or inspired and provide nothing more than what can be called a wet fart AT BEST, i love you! For real! You know this is true... Artist like Amon tobin, Dead can dance and Lorn have an ability to express and emulate a variety of "States of mind" if you will... that one can ALMOST call this ability MAGIC! due to the contrast between them and an average Joe/Jane. Here is one MAGIC GIFT... i have received from such artist... if you can perceive topic and recognize it, you are past 50% of the way, they speak through natural channels which negates the gap between the Joe/Jane level and the level they operate on. Our primal instincts are very much active and doing very well despite whatever DELUSIONS you have about a CIVIL SOCIETY.
Faith and the muse - Mesmerism (Dead can dance cover). is a good mind fuck to realign anyones mind.. FREE TUNE UP
@@asdasad9349 if you're in hell youd already be dead...
We live in a society 🤡
I've been listening to this one of late and it gives my life-long mulled angst a cathartic release. Deliciously dark. TY, Lorn
You're welcome, my pain is your pleasure.
I know this song because of an internet friend I met two years ago. One day he dissapeared and this is all I have left now.

@@InVinoVeratas I cannot dispute this fact.
dude, Lorn. You guys are on another level. All your songs and vids are like a new daydream/nightmare I can't help but stay asleep a little longer for.
They still haven’t found this masterpiece only 3mill that’s what I like to see this song is one severe emotion 🖤
Lorn is so unique. What a sound.
Also love other trip hop/electronica related acts like
Massive Attack, Tricky, Portishead, DJ Krush, Unkle, Allflaws
Spent Much yesss
Just out here trying watch lorn sharpen knives. Got at least one good eye to witness
A pure genius. "applause".
There is such a deeper meaning and i appreciate you lorn
ALL VOLUME IS MAXED BUT I NEED IT LOUDER!
This is what this society does to a sensitive soul. This is how its filled with hate and desperation
Thakns mate, I feel me.
That is why mercy is for the weak. Give me hell and I’ll make it
What do you think any other society that ever existed would do to a sensitive soul?
Kevin Crowe obviously... i asked what any other society would have done to a sensitive soul
The responsibilty/choice is still ours to make surrender to pressure or hold out against whatever the odds are. Quiting is not an option, only an illusion of escaping the connection to others..
It's amazing, i love it, it's brainshaking! With love from Russland!
Lyrics in the verse.
Give me a drug and I’ll take it
Watching you sharpen knives
Give me hell and I’ll make it
I’ve still got one good eye
Blind as a fool, I can fake it,
Telling the truth with lies
It won’t be long til I break it,
Cause you know, you know
You weigh me down...
Best song ever right i love it to death 💀
@@overkillgaming1424 same
I hear, blind as a fool, i can Fake it,
With an f sound.
And the last line sounds more like
"It won't be long till I make it."
Or maybe "I'm naked."
I hear an m sound there.
dont know why but everytime i listen to this song i get goosebumps.
Yet another glorious gift from lorns hideout faaaaaar beyond our Oort cloud.....
I've been a Lorn fan since 2018. How am I just now finding this song???!!!
Idk lol this was one of the first few Lorn songs I've listened to.
The video and the music are both brilliantly captivating.
The first time I heard this song I was literally terrified...... I thrive on it now, anyone else like that?
Addictively brutal.
You start to see darkness inside you is twitching and sometimes causing you break the character
Still loving this, thank you #GoVegan
Not to blog, but as someone bipolar and borderline, this song perfectly encapsulates how external stressors and internal turmoil make an oppressively chaotic worldview and darkly fluctuating mental state. It feels personal, I can only wonder what Lorn's been through to make a sound this aggressive
Lorn grew up surrounded by alcohol and drug addiction iirc. "Also at 19 he was institutionalized against his will, and there he met people who were also abused and neglected by the system and society. This is part of what fuels Lorn’s current drug use. Lorn is saying that it won’t be much longer until society deems him to be in a poor mental state again. Lorn knows that society isn’t forgiving, and it can decide to lock him up and forget about him whenever it wishes." I have that saved in a .txt but I forgot where I got it from.
I hope you're doing well. My therapist doesn't give out 'labels' so to speak, but I'm fairly sure I have BPD as well.
@@Cygnus_B Sounds like you might actually have a good therapist...
Get meds you dope. Bipolar is more manageable.

I was just letting youtube chose which music i listen to and i ended up stumbling upon this. Now I was playing a few games and it is 2 in the morning and the music by this guy genuinely makes me almost feel high.
I feel so lonely...like I have nobody. The person I love is engulfed in sadness and so am I, way before that person found out they were. This world is isolated and never rewards those that have the purest heart and intentions. I feel trapped in my minds abyss, the tears keep flowing and the agony continues. When will I break free?
I sometimes feel the same.. isolated and lonely.. but those are just feelings and its up to you whether you want to stay with such feelings or not. Everyone has to find their own way how to cope with things that are happening around us. Things that affect us both in negative and positive way. Love yourself and others, have a goal, have dreams to achieve something, whether it is small or big.. I believe that nowadays, good people with pure intentions and hearts are more in need than ever. Be proud of yourself that you feel such way or you have such gift, there are lots of people who are unable to , believe in the goodness you can give to yourself and to this world. Yea, it can happen that your effort will not be mutualy given back.. thats how it is in this world,its not a just world, it never was, but it would be much worse if all good people would suddenly say.. hey,. yea lets fuck this shitless society, lets leave em to live with their destructive mindset or anything else, it doesnt work this way.... well I just dont know what else to add.. Some religions point to self-break-free .. well I dont know how to say it in English.. its just that your mind is a strong and very practival tool that can help you, in order to get rid of majority of negativity that you see. What you want to prevail, wil prevail because you give it energy through your thoughts and feelings... In this way, some things are then concstructing into the reality that is around us. Stay happy and strong :-)
There are at least two ways to break free. The easy way is death. The hardest and most honorable is to find the meaning of life.
The only thing we control is our free will. Not even a god could take that from us. As Epictetus once said. You can put me in prison, you can cut my head off but you cannot take my free will. Not even zeus can take your free will. Its the choice to be happy aside from all the bullshit. To be your true self. Not the one you are because you think you have to be, or worse, because you think Others think you are. Old people will tell you life isnt fair, but its still good. (And its your only one) Ive battled depression most of my life, tried to take it multiple times starting when I was 13. After getting older and still feeling that darkness you start to remember... its not going to stay this way. I can be happy later and forget this feeling. I know its easier said than done when you fall back into that pit, but remember the way out of that hole is to climb. Might as well smile and enjoy it a little when you can.

One of the greatest work i've ever seen
We've all got something that weighs us down. Drugs,alcohol,nicotine,fake friends,a toxic partner,an abusive family,a stressful boss,an illness etc. What matters is how we escape from that vicious circle that becomes a part of who we are.
Nekoma-chan Stark I don’t want to escape anymore, I’m using it to destroy the ones who made me like this
Nekoma-chan Stark I'm convinced Lorn is a demon.
SOGINI12 how bout no
JEMS Melendez That’s a bit dark
You are nothing until someone needs your help and your compassion.
So the only way out is love. Not sex, not addictive something.
I think about this song and video a lot nowadays .
I’m in love with Lorns creativity and sound design
"Think you God built this place, wishing men lusts uncontrolled and swords unsheathed? Not God, my friend. The truth is bleaker still: men carved these halls while they breathed."
Abe's Oddessy; Cow World
love that mix of deep bass, mechanised snare and of course, that super sweet 8-bit harpsichord.
One of the heaviest beats ever made
Glocksmith the background is California during the wildfires + post societal collapse
Absolutely amazing and heart-rending video. I couldn't believe the symbolism when I figured it out!
This is my favorite song of lorn after 'until there's no end'.
This one in particular have something that makes me listien to it over and over again. You can kinda get the vibes from this, and is specially helpfull to draw.
I think the beauty in this is that art is always open for interpretation. Sometimes there never really is a direct description for what the story or art means.
Watching this video during the pandemic was something else.
Love your work
‚Telling the truth with lies’
I really appreciate creativity such as this and the message it sends. I hope it inspires people to continue their reaching outside the box.
Really glad i was born in a time where i can easily gain information from all boards of the spectrum.
Dom Gonzalez how do you get all that from demonic music, my man.
@@amazingblackpeople By watching the video and interpreting the lyrics
It woke me a bit either
Do you even music?!
The social commentary is just on point...I don't think music artist like this get enough credit for there depth, to be able to capture events and inlays of society without words but with a sense we all feel as things change and there is a darkness we do not address as a society.the anger we feel for being alive at times like it's a fucked up game and how did we get here
I've got this song stuck in my head all day and it fits perfectly with some shitty persons I had to deal with lately, people who weight me down... But at the same time this music gives me power to deal with them, and move on!
Wow...this is exactly what I needed to hear!....
I visit Lorn's songs once in a while.
I listen to him religiously
Each time I listen to this I find a new sound !
i just found about Lorn, fucking hell I'm in love, but one things doing my head in...his videos are way to dammn short i need moreeeeee
manacitta so true. Can't get enough. Real dope
In historic times this song would have amassed a cult of 10,032, in robes, huddling over a fire, together speaking in tongues.
this works on *so many* levels
Bro this song gives me spasms of chills. By far one of my favorites songs by Lorn
I wonder if the beat was sampled from an unbalanced washing machine.

The chosen one/savior is a hybrid between human overlords and their slave cattle. He starts off as a meek humanoid on all fours. Gets pushed over by the pure humans. Escapes them and enters the world where his brethren, the cattle, are being massacred. He is himself taken up for massacre but is somehow spared and watches butchering on a mass scale. Conflict occurs in his mind and he transiently turns into the dichotomy of his cattle heritage - reflected in the changes of the meek meat they become - when his body changes into that of the cattle or that of an aggressive bull when he becomes a minotaur like figure. He passes through the entire butchering till the end where he sees the decadence of the humans as they feast on the meat of his brethren. They run helter skelter and are themselves knocked down by incoming humans coming for the feast as well. He makes his final transition into a minotaur - the aggressive bull headed figure growing in stature and strength the more he stays on the pile of meat that once his clan. At a critical threshold, something snaps and all hell breaks loose. Retribution at last... Now to get back to my fukn thesis instead of youtubing.
Another level to consider - he never saves the bull at the end, he is too consumed by his own rage to right the wrongs that enraged him to begin with.
There's a lot of cows in this video
Yes
you could submit this review. probably. ;)🖤
Crazy good video n music, Moo Power, MOOO POWERRR..
Lorn's great at creating dark, orchestrated sounds.
I was so captivated by this song and video the first time I saw it. I love Lorn. This is my favorite song of his . I listened to it on repeat for four hours on the road . I've always wondered if there was anyone else in the world who could do that, And love it .
I can say that at least, 10.000 of these views are mine. Fuck i love this song so much
So it is possible to fall in love with a song..
I would listen to this track on repeat while working in the warehouse. Seemed like a fitting song.
Thank you Lorn!
3:05 when the bodies drop I really like for some reason
Man those rumbling drums drive me mental they're that good
I can’t believe this is 8 years afo
Can't even begin to describe how much I understand. It's like a slasher pic, a catharsis. I love it.
I can't help but listen to this song every day !
This thing hit different now
*Cargo train runs through the junction*
Lorn: I am gonna sample that!
