Pretty sure the Hebrew characters on his forehead are meant to symbolise him being a golem - aka something like a vessel, animated by ‘spirit’ (God, the soul, ‘divine light’, something like this). ‘Emet’ are the characters which animate the golem in the story of the golem of Prague (might be universally true for all golems, only really familiar with this particular story).
@@mattlorence4854 Right! I think it would make a lot of sense. A lot of the religious motifs on this album seem heavily inspired by Kabbalah. All the numerology + the symbolism of stars aligning, creating the Star of David (as above so below), Uriel is also somewhat important in the Kabbalistic tradition (as well as in esoteric Christianity). There’s more, but I’m a bit too tired to think of it rn lmao. If u feel like doing some research on some of the esoteric themes in bladees lyrics I suggest you check out the channel ‘Esoterica’. His videos on hermeticism and Kabbalah are especially relevant for drain studies.
This symbol is the Alef Tev. Or as we are probably more familiar, the Alpha and Omega. With the middle letter of the Hebrew alphabet (Mem) being the second/middle symbol on his head. This combination, Alef Mem Tev, is read as Truth, while representing a summary (first letter of the alphabet, middle letter of the alphabet, and final letter) of the language of God's chosen people.
as a fellow tall weirdo that just loses his shit to bladee alone in my room I really love your videos and feel a deep spiritual connection to them, you rock matt
Please please please more Spiderr videos! I would love a dive into the symbolism. Also, really appreciate your energy in these videos. I relate very hard to your reactions.
seriously so obsessed w this album, it’s so insane how they create new sounds that just make sense yet r so unique and always changing… and also have been loving bladee’s recent writing a lot lately
you are the reason i got into bladee. the way you enjoy listening to bladee and explain how the songs make you feel just makes me feel so comfy. keep doin your shit. love you
i’ve been loving this album and seeing your animated & genuine reactions is such a joy, bladee really is the goat and your discussion of the music is top notch, always happy to see these
때는 바야흐로 버스안에서 일보고 집돌아오는길이였다 우연히 처음오로 블래이드이의 새앨범을 듣게되었다. 이앨범을 듣는순간 내인생은 180도 달라졌고 깊은어둠속에서 발버둥치면 고심을하고있던 나는 더이상 지고만살수는없다라고 생각이 뿐득 떠올려지며 다시 힘차게돌아올수있을힘을 주었다.
Definitely would appreciate a deep dive into this one and/or any of his recent stuff. So much to chew on with each release, so it's nice to hear someone else wrestle with it, too.
literally having the same reactions watching, feel like I'm chilling with a friend in a room both of us hearing something really dope for the first time
I never love a bladee album when I first hear it because I just love eversince so damn much that it takes a few listens for me to get over it.... the eversince bias lol but of course I love all the bladee albums but of course eversince is perfect
Rumour has it one time Oloff was sat next to Jar Jar Binks on a flight. Jar Jar kept kicking the chair in front of him and generally being obnoxious, nobody knew what to do. Eventually one of the flight attendants came over and asked Oloff if he would perform one of his songs to calm Jar Jar down, and when Oloff began rapping the first verse to Doing It Stealthy, Jar Jar immediately relaxed. To this day the two are still close friends.
Not only do I relate to your reactions, they are extremely entertaining to watch. I subscribed because you're entertaining as fuck haha. You ever thought of making music on your own? I think you should do it. I know it's easier said than done but hey I'm struggling trying to do that myself haha
the first time i listend to spider was on ket and man that shit is like crazy it puts you into like the music and listenending to reality surf was amazing on it lmao (don't do it anymore jusused it mainly for depression) is perfect for listening to drain gang (aplogies im a mess but bladee does mention k a good bit and tbf he got me into it bc idk listening to his music on that is like religious shit paha. most of the album is tbf. i was a mess before i got into bladee, this is an entire coincidence becausei it has just tied up w a lot of really shitty life things that happened and bladee was really helpful w jus daeling w trauma. idk is theraputic to me. if anything yung lean was my favorite at first but bladee has made really good songs as of late and now i really like his old stuff. have listened to them since like 16 lmao time has fucking fle ww (sorry this comment is all unhinged i smoked a bit of weed, feeling goofy
love these videos and this album. lot of really nice, dreamy and euphoric sections but he also sounds genuinely unhinged at times. (in a good way) can’t wait for whatever mr. drain ceo has up next ✌️
