So the song is about being a Pisces and the duality that brings. Tough exterior and soft inside. The symbol for Pisces is two fish swimming in opposite directions. In this case one bringing life and the other running for death. Neptune is god of the sea so fish are his children. Liquid gold can sometimes refer to water. Fish swim getting a glimpse of the light above, they finally find it by getting hooked and they are laid out on the table of handsome butchers. Emeralds can be something of great value like protection, humanity, safety. The track from Wacken is the video Perennial Live at Wacken Open Air. The song is about seasonal depression and how people get depressed in the fall and through the winter until spring comes and renews everything again. Tatiana's lyrics are all very good. Wallflower (about being an introvert), Vortex (about thoughts so heavy they suck you into a vortex), Teacher Teacher (about not believing everything people tell you because they may be fools). No Hoard of Value (about coal minors from where she comes from). Outlander, I Speak Astronomy, Who is Gonna be the One, Judgement and Punishment. All very good songs
Apologies for not responding sooner. I was getting that vibe. Thank you so much for the detailed list! thank you ever more for taking the time to check out the channel I truly appreciate you.
If you look a bit further in the lyrics: A Neptune's child shivering inside Drowns in the liquid gold Cherished his life to the underworld ---- if she is Picses and she is the Neptune's child, I think the comment I ones saw on TH-cam might be correct, her father died (Cherished his life to the underworld) and the liquid gold can also be interpreted in drowning in beer aka drinking to forget or drinking to suppress the pain.
@@autohmae I don't know a lot about her father. Her mother is still in Ukraine in Russian occupied territory. She can only ever talk to her over the phone. I don't think I've ever heard her talk about her dad except that it wasn't a bad relationship.
The line should read: "scale armor belies virgin innocence." As in, if you have emotional "scale armor," you are certainly not virginally innocent. Secondly, everyone justifiably focuses on Tati's incredible voice, but y'all miss how ridiculously good her backing band is. That jazz drum and that tap bass???!!!
Lol Jinjer is ukrainian proggy djent groove metal with complex time-signature maze, polyrhythms and multi-genre blending. They are one of the most talented 4-pieces ever.

Tatiana was a literature major in university and she writes very poetic lyrics well worth analyzing. This one being about the dual nature of the Pisces personality. The band is amazing and Tatiana is one of the best front women in the business. I strongly recommend "Perennial" live at Wacken 2019 for a follow up reaction. Good reaction (Subbed)
"What a jarring difference..." Indeed! It cuts both ways, too. When she switches to those incredible gutturals, AND when she goes from growls to that smooth, jazzy, clean voice. She's remarkable and very near the top of my favorite singers.
Welcome to the Jinjer family!❤ Perennial live at Wacken, Judgement & Punishment one take vocal, Wallflower, Vortex, Teacher Teacher, Disclosure, Mediator, Sit Stay Rollover, Call Me A Symbol, Outlander. They are true masters of their trade.
This is the only band with growls that I listen to and I love how she uses growling as a tool to express rage, disdain, desperation or whatever she needs to and how she manages to transport those feelings to the listener. I've tried some other bands, but found nobody this good, plus I love her singing voice and style.
She's talking about the duality of the Pisces astrological sign. Which she is a Pisces. This is the number one metal band today. They are the new Metallica. MORE JINJER!!!
Oh man, welcome to an insane rabbit hole. Pisces reactions always get a click from me because they're universally entertaining, but I like your vibe. Subbing, and i hope to see more Jinjer on your channel. Her one-take vocal of Judgement & Punishment is amazing. Teacher Teacher is my favorite song of theirs. And yes, they're incredible live. I saw them in April and they blew my mind.
🔥Welcome to Jinjer, Gimmickless! I just found your channel, saw your Jinjer reaction and subbed, great reaction! It's always fun seeing people new to Jinjer, but I especially love that you dive into the lyrics! Thank you for bringing the fantastic genre twisting music of Jinjer to more people! I love their energy, how tight they are, how down to earth they are, the heaviness mixed with complexity and groove, beautiful singing and growling and especially Tatiana's (and Eugene's) lyrics! The first time I heard Pisces in 2019, I hadn't liked any metal with growling and it took me a few listens to start liking it, but now Tatiana is my favorite vocalist and Jinjer my favorite band (Pisces has been my wake up alarm for a few years and I still love it more every time I hear it, snooze is a thing of the past). TLDR: skip to the last paragraph 😂 Sorry for the long comment, I just love Jinjer too much and love seeing people discover (and usually fall in love with) them and each of their songs! My three favorite comments about Jinjer that I've seen, "terrifying levels of talent", "I hate it when a Jinjer song ends", and a mother quoting her four year old wanting to see the "lion lady" 🤣 All four current members of Jinjer have essentially no formal musical training except Vlad the drummer who studied classical piano. For most of their songs, the three guys write most of the instrument music, then Tatiana writes most of the lyrics and melodies (she gets tons of well deserved credit for her vocal and stage performance abilities, but maybe not quite enough for her lyrical and musical composition abilities). Roman the guitarist has written a lot of the instrument music in the past, so he's a huge part of the beautiful sound of Jinjer, but Vlad the drummer (who also plays guitar and classical piano, but so far not in most Jinjer songs - I think he played piano in lainnereP) has been writing more of it and wrote nine of the eleven songs for the last album Wallflowers (next album is done recording, but not out yet). Eugene composes some - he wrote the instrument music for one song on Wallflowers and a few songs on other albums, and I know that apart from his amazing work on the bass, he adds riffs and has written lyrics for a few Jinjer songs. Jinjer has been a tour-heavy band, touring almost nonstop from 2013 to 2020 and much of the time since then (with interruptions by covid and the US backed coup/proxy war), hard work that has made them fantastic live performers. The band (all members have been Ukrainian, with Russian their first language) started in eastern Ukraine (Donetsk) in 2008 as a group of three (then five) with none of the current members (they consider the official start of the band when Tatiana replaced the male vocalist and Roman joined as lead guitar 2009/2010), Vlad is the fifth drummer (joined in 2016) and it's been a group of four since 2015 (though they consider their road sound engineer Sasha to be a fifth member). I think they're still friends with all the former members and you can see their former guitarist turned actor, Dmitry Oksen, in older videos on guitar and a more recent video (Disclosure) playing an interrogator. One of the things I love most about Jinjer is the messages in Tatiana's lyrics and the way she combines growling and beautiful singing with Jinjer's fantastic instrumentals to be so powerful for expressing the anger and pain in those messages: the anti-war message in Home Back, the anti-greed in On The Top, Mediator and No Hoard Of Value (also the horror of the coal mining industry in their home Ukraine), the protest song Who Is Gonna Be The One, the anti-fascism of Sit Stay Roll Over, the anger at people being narrow minded in Teacher Teacher and Judgment & Punishment, the struggles with mental health in Pit Of Consciousness, Vortex, Wallflower and Perennial, the giving voice to mother nature angry at humanity for letting capitalism destroy her in a bunch of songs like Ape, The Prophecy, Cloud Factory, Noah, Outlander and Bad Water. Other favorites are I Speak Astronomy, Retrospection, Words of Wisdom, Just Another, Captain Clock, Scissors, Exposed As A Liar, I Want It I'll Get It, A Plus Or A Minus, Dip A Sail, When Two Empires Collide, lainnereP, Prologue and Beggar's Dance (those last two are short album bookends that could do well together in one reaction if you're so inclined). I haven't found a Jinjer song I don't love, so I think you can't go wrong if you choose any of them, but a few good choices might be Perennial (official and/or live at Wacken 2019, both are must-see), Teacher Teacher (official is the studio audio with some great footage from several shows), Judgement & Punishment (official and/or Tatiana's one take performance, again both must-see), Pit of Consciousness (official and/or live in Kiev/Kyiv, a third where both are absolutely must-see) or the heartwrenching plea against war in Home Back (official video). Thank you, Gimmickless! I hope you'll keep trying out more Jinjer songs and enjoy! ❤🖤🤘
The two I think you'd appreciate the lyrics of most are Sit Stay Roll Over and Home Back. Official videos are good for both. Their concert videos are epic though. This is one of the first Jinjer songs where Tati delved into her mental health struggles. The sign of Pisces which is her astrology sign has two fish swimming in different directions. It is supposed to represent duality, which is reflected in the song. I think our culture is more comfortable with the idea that "power is sexy" applies to women being attracted to men, but I feel like on a primal level it's just as advantageous for a male to mate with the strongest female they can to produce the strongest offspring.
A big component of interpereting the lyrics to this song is the title, 'Pisces'. Pisces is one of the signs of the Zodiac and is represented by two fish circling each other, signifying duality. This birth sign covers the end of Winter and the beginning of Spring, death and rebirth. This duality is expressed in this song with the musical & vocal shifts as well as the song being about the sign as well as about the singer, literal and metaphorical.
You will find her lyrics deep and intriguing. Seriosly , they have about 15-20 tracks this good or better. You are into lyrics, you'll be most interested in Teacher Teacher. Jinjer is almost a genre unto themselves.
Welcome to the Jinjer journey/ adventure. Tatiana is a world - class growler. Jinjer plays inside and outside the box. Every song distinct and very much at times a thrill ride.
It is so frustrating that many lyric sites get the refrain wrong. It’s not “scale armor blaze”. That makes zero sense. It’s “Scale armor belies virgin innocence”.
Welcome to the Jinjer Nation!!!! The "rabbit Hole" you're about travel through will amaze and entertain you for sure!!! The rest of the band are incredible musicians to boot!!!
Great reaction I love when people that doesn’t listen to this kind of music gives it a listen with an open mind and really likes it. I’ve been a metal head my whole adult life and I’m 57 now and I didn’t discover Jinjer until about 3 years ago and it blew my mind. Now I won’t miss another Jinjer concert if anywhere near me (Atlanta). Now my hobby is watching Jinjer reactions on TH-cam they have a deep library and none are bad. They changed a bit over the years but the older songs are more raw and they are awesome.
You’ll appreciate the Perennial lyrics. So poetic. Watch the live at Whacken video. Seeing them for the 2nd time in September in a small club! Can’t wait. Amazing live.
its scale armored bellies she is talking about the sign Pisces its fish and the duality. it kinda sound like blaze but its bell-ies but the i is turning into a to make a easier and better sounding melody. its like ppl singing may instead of me. avoinding the weird iii sound. alot of lyric pages say blaze but its bellies with 2 syllables where the second one is way louder.
"Neptune was the Roman god of waters and seas, who controlled winds and storms" I also Checked the zodiac. "Pisces".. The two kind of opposing fish.. In the song 2 opposing time signatures'. two opposing types of singing.. And she has a littlie fish in each of her ear spacers/gauges?? One on each side/ear = 2 . Go figure?? Oh my; what can it mean? Do you suppose this could be a coincidence? LOL
The lyrics got printed (misprinted?) as "Scale armour blaze / Virgin innocence" in the CD booklet, so the band say that is the "official" version (probably so as to not embarrass the record company...)
Welcome to the greatness that is Jinjer. 🍻 You haven't seen or heard nothin' yet. Many twists, turns and surprises both lyrically and musically await you if you delve deeper. Jinjer is a once in a generation band. 🤘 💙💛
My friend, thank you for the great reaction video. It is very clear that you are not at all close to music in this style - but you are honestly and sincerely trying to figure it out, to understand... It commands respect!..
Hey! i don't know if you read comments if you do listen to = Jinjer - Teacher Teacher (Official Video) Is a little rap in there and her BARS is incredibly good!
Neptune is the god of the sea. Neptunes child - fish - pisces?? btw, pisces is an astrological sign depicting two fish swimming in opposite directions. this is what the song is about.
Jinjer is awesome. Perennial live at Wacken (pronounced Vacken) and Judgment & Punishment live one take. But you should also check out Floor’s previous band, Revamp. Their song Disdain live at Wacken. Floor definitely growling.
This is a channel I never felt more certain about subscribing to. I can not fully convey how much I appreciate finding your channel for the first time with this video. I feel rewarded having just watched your content that I have been desperate to find. (The following is from my life experience which does not suggest everyone else's is the same.) I can’t remember ever seeing any TH-cam providers that focused on the lyrics, message, and worked to draw out their own interpretation. As a kid I bought NWA, Public Enemy, and DJ Quick, and others first albums on cassette when they were released. I appreciate good rap but the environment became so toxic, self-grandising and disrespectful that, aside from a miniscule number of current rappers, it lost my respect. I’m likely not fully aware of what’s out there though. As someone who appreciates quality lyrics I feel personally justified in saying that you just opened the door to a whole new amazing world of lyrics and genuine messages that affect most people’s lives which society doesn’t discuss because it makes people uncomfortable. Rape, child abuse, suicide, and other life altering experiences are met head on in metal with honesty and vulnerability. Of course there are shallow douche-bags out for fame or money, as in ever form of expression. Take lyrics that connect with people and help them realize they’re not alone anymore in dealing with something life changing that they’re too ashamed to talk about. Add aggressive, pulse raising music that makes you want to explode and vent every ounce of anger, perceived injustice, childhood trauma and simply having to deal with ignorant ass people all day. Combine all of this with people coming together from all walks of life, alone or labeled as rejects. Each one joins a worldwide family of every color, gender sexual preference, and any other label forced on you by people that don’t have a clue who you really are as a person. A family you’re accepted by and where you are judged on only three things, at least in my circle and what I read and witness of other fans all over the world. 1. The only requirement is that you love the music and community as a way of life. No one is judged or excluded for any other reason dictated by “society” or the media. 2. You look out for everyone else. 3. Male fans never disrespect our female family. I’ve been playing guitar since I was 6 years old, in 79’. I’ve never witnessed the comradery, acceptance and concern for others that I’ve witnessed firsthand at nearly every one of the hundred plus metal concerts I attended over the last 35 years. If you continue diving into metal lyrics that people highly recommend it won’t take long for you to see why rock and metal for many is more of a belief and you’ll feel the love and respect from the fans. I thank you sir and happily enlist to be a supporter.
Cleopatra reborn. The sirens voice to charm the God's and the authority of thunder to bring nations to obedience. This band is the most amazing out there.
Scale armour blaze, meaning fish scales look like armour. Pisces zodiac symbol is two fish showing the yin and yang of life. No light without dark. No life without death. This song is about the two sides of tatiana since she's a pisces.
Welcome to the wonderfully wild and beautiful world of Jinjer. The best thing you could've done was pull up the lyrics as you listened to the song. So many people don't do that. Thank you! Tati takes pride in NOT sounding like a girl when she growls. She has a multitude of influences when she sings. The band members are ALL extremely talented while Vlad, "the drummer," is the only member who has a musical training background. I could go on and on, but I'm sure you're getting so much information from the other fans and followers about this awesome band from Ukraine. I hope you continue to react to more videos because this is only the top of the rabbit hole. You earned a subscriber here. Slava Ukraini! 🤘🏽🇺🇦
I have seen them 4 times the last 2 we hung out. I feel sorry for my sister. All the music has been written for a new album. She just got her inspiration and started pouring out lyrics. I can't give anyone more than that. Just know im in the industry and am now well connected to Vlad and Roman. Leaving it there. Just to clarify, if its named after a planet, its Roman. Remember they ruled for a thousand plus years. They got to name a ton of things. Your question on Neptune
Yes, it's the planet Neptune -- but it was only discovered in 1846! In modern (obviously) Astrology, Neptune is the controlling planet for the star sign Pisces.
great first read on the lyrics ... Tatiana is a true poet. you'd like _Perennial_ live a Wacken *2019* (they've made multiple appearances at the Wacken festival) . _Teacher Teacher_ and _Judgement & Punishment_ are also really good follow-ups. everyone has their different favorites. for me it's _No Hoard of Value_ and _Home Back_ for something a bit softer, their song _Wallflower_ is amazing.
Yes, Neptune is a god in Roman mythology, the god of the sea, fresh water, and horses. Which goes with Pisces, we are a water sign, our sign is 2 fishes.
Hey you can turn off the yt feature that automatically plays a randomly related video. That's the button left to the CC icon. Don't embarrass yourself.
Aloha GR, if lyrics is your thing, please check out a band The Warning, especially their first 3 albums, because those albums were entirely written by the 3 sisters that comprise the band. Their latest 4th album is a collaborative project, so although the 3 sisters still make all the final choices for their lyrics, they have begun to include input from other artists. They have a huge TH-cam catalog of lyric videos that you can watch, but their superpower is in their live concerts! The Warning has been a band for just over 10 years! PS - I am a fan of Jinjer!
Tatiana is an amazing lyricist. If lyrics are your thing, you should absolutely checkout their song "Perennial". I would do the Live at Wacken 2019 version. But it's an incredibly poetic song about her seasonal affective disorder and how she relates that to nature preparing for winter. It's a beautiful poem, set to brutal metal.
Hi, Lyric Nerd. You might find it interesting to compare this song to Christian Schubart's poem _Die Forelle_ ('The Trout'), set to music as a _lied_ by Franz Schubert in 1817. They share a theme of innocent young women being cynically 'fished for' and exploited by men. Tatiana, having a degree in Literature, was likely aware of the _lied_ when she wrote these lyrics. Incidentally, Floor Jansen also can and does growl, but did so more often in her former bands After Forever and ReVamp (look for the latter's live performance of 'Distain'). In Nightwish, Tuomas Holopainen is less inclined to write growling parts for her (though see live performances of 'Yours Is an Empty Hope').
Here's a band you should check out in the newer metal genre. The band is called Bloodywood. Start with either Machi Bhasad or Aaj. They have stuff going back a ways but their beginning was that of taking popular Bollywood songs and making them metal. It was originally a duo but is now a full band. Think Rage against the machine meets like Disturbed. Metal with rap and each song has a deep meaning behind it.
Well if you liked this one just wait. For me this song isn't in the top ten best song from this band. So, sit back and enjoy the ride good sir. One other point they sound just as good live.
You mentioned (I think) Floor (i.e., Floor Jansen of Nightwish) ... you know she growls too? If you haven't watched it yet, then I expect you would appreciate 'Yours is an Empty Hope' (live from Wembley 2015). You can find it at: th-cam.com/video/vyLsU7Q333k/w-d-xo.html If you want to be impressed by rock vocals, then I'd recommend the band Leprous. Perhaps start with 'Slave' live from Rockefeller Music Hall (th-cam.com/video/1QKx_2yg4cU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MaOWROH--oJE0aDU) and then follow it up with 'Below' (th-cam.com/video/4nPwBSaJmgI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1KDULlEd-XKn4MIS). You won't be disappointed
You want deep lyrics from a metal (death core) band? Check out Pain Remains (trilogy) by Lorna Shore. You mention him, just not sure if you’ve heard the lyrics. Many online reactions end in tears.
You got a hold of an incorrect set of lyrics. I did as well my first time looking up the lyrics. It's not "Scale armor blaze". Correct lyrics are "Scale armor belies".
If you are looking for deep lyrics and one of the best metal bands of all time, check out "tool - The Pot". Don't use the music videos they are distracting and not fully related to the song.
Tatiana is a very poetic lyricist, any Jinjer song will have you thinking. Just fyi those lyrics posted are wrong the first line of the chorus is "scale armour belies virgin innocence" not scale armour blaze.
Neptune is the Roman god of ocean and freshwater. Pisces is a zodiac sign (two fish). With these two pieces of info, maybe you will be better able to interpret the lyrics. I see the song being about duality in people.
@@johnbriggs3916 If you have seen where any of the band members have said it refers to the planet please provide proof. The planet was named after the god. not the other way around. How does a planet have a child? "A Neptune's child shivering inside" For the record, I am an atheist and see ALL gods as myths so I am not implying that any gods are real, much less Neptune.
@@wally837 In modern (obviously) Astrology, Neptune is the controlling planet for the star sign Pisces. So anyone born under Pisces will be Neptune's child.
I am absolutely sure you're mistaken, as Tatiana has stated on several occasions, it's "Scale Armour BLAZE". Please stop spreading incorrect information
@@MLuxemburg I reckon she was teasing, fed up of people mishearing her lyrics. I mean, Eugene said they were called Jinjer because it was the sound guitars made (?), clearly nonsense. I wouldn't take everything they say as gospel. Musicians are forever goofing around.
AHHhhhhh... Welcome to the party, Y'all!!!! Jinjer is a DEATH METAL BAND from Ukraine. The female Lead Vocalist is Tianna... she's quite accomplished, & I'm certain that you NEVER heard a VOICE SCREAM like her (she also has a QUITE BUTTERY singing voice as well), but HOW she can change it up??? SOOOO SEAMLESSLY... AND the contrasts in her vocal range is NEXT LEVEL!!!! TRULY LEGENDARY & TOP TIER. NO CAP. PERIOD. AND... the REST of the band are quite accomplished in their own right. The song structure, the lyricism, the musicianship & the instrumentation... who better to BACK Tianna, The Goddess of DEATH, than THESE GUYS??? Check out their catalog of music... I do believe they released 4 Albums already, so there's plenty of music from them now. I'm certain that you won't regret it!!!! Once again, WELCOME TO THE PARTY, Y'ALL!!!! Your life will NEVER TRULY BE the same. You've been WARNED. MIC DROP 🎤.
![COME ON DUDE | JINJER - Pisces (Live Session) [BREAKDOWN/REACTION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/9GfMclSXLDg/mqdefault.jpg)

The track from Wacken is the video Perennial Live at Wacken Open Air. The song is about seasonal depression and how people get depressed in the fall and through the winter until spring comes and renews everything again. Tatiana's lyrics are all very good. Wallflower (about being an introvert), Vortex (about thoughts so heavy they suck you into a vortex), Teacher Teacher (about not believing everything people tell you because they may be fools). No Hoard of Value (about coal minors from where she comes from). Outlander, I Speak Astronomy, Who is Gonna be the One, Judgement and Punishment. All very good songs
I interpret " liquid gold" as sunshine/air. Hence that is why they are drowning in liquid gold.
Apologies for not responding sooner. I was getting that vibe. Thank you so much for the detailed list!
thank you ever more for taking the time to check out the channel I truly appreciate you.
If you look a bit further in the lyrics:
A Neptune's child shivering inside
Drowns in the liquid gold
Cherished his life to the underworld
---- if she is Picses and she is the Neptune's child, I think the comment I ones saw on TH-cam might be correct, her father died (Cherished his life to the underworld) and the liquid gold can also be interpreted in drowning in beer aka drinking to forget or drinking to suppress the pain.
@@autohmae I don't know a lot about her father. Her mother is still in Ukraine in Russian occupied territory. She can only ever talk to her over the phone. I don't think I've ever heard her talk about her dad except that it wasn't a bad relationship.

The line should read: "scale armor belies virgin innocence." As in, if you have emotional "scale armor," you are certainly not virginally innocent.
Secondly, everyone justifiably focuses on Tati's incredible voice, but y'all miss how ridiculously good her backing band is. That jazz drum and that tap bass???!!!

Welcome to the Jinjer family!❤
Perennial live at Wacken, Judgement & Punishment one take vocal, Wallflower, Vortex, Teacher Teacher, Disclosure, Mediator, Sit Stay Rollover, Call Me A Symbol, Outlander.
They are true masters of their trade.
This is the only band with growls that I listen to and I love how she uses growling as a tool to express rage, disdain, desperation or whatever she needs to and how she manages to transport those feelings to the listener. I've tried some other bands, but found nobody this good, plus I love her singing voice and style.
Welcome to Jinjer. Perennial live at Wacken shows her talent well.
Jinjer - Home Back
A must to break down. When doing so, take into account that they are from Ukraine.
She's talking about the duality of the Pisces astrological sign. Which she is a Pisces. This is the number one metal band today. They are the new Metallica. MORE JINJER!!!
I suggest checking out Jinjer - Perennial - live @Wacken Open Air 2019. Sound on that one is on point.
Oh man, welcome to an insane rabbit hole. Pisces reactions always get a click from me because they're universally entertaining, but I like your vibe.

Sorry for the long comment, I just love Jinjer too much and love seeing people discover (and usually fall in love with) them and each of their songs!
My three favorite comments about Jinjer that I've seen, "terrifying levels of talent", "I hate it when a Jinjer song ends", and a mother quoting her four year old wanting to see the "lion lady" 🤣
All four current members of Jinjer have essentially no formal musical training except Vlad the drummer who studied classical piano. For most of their songs, the three guys write most of the instrument music, then Tatiana writes most of the lyrics and melodies (she gets tons of well deserved credit for her vocal and stage performance abilities, but maybe not quite enough for her lyrical and musical composition abilities). Roman the guitarist has written a lot of the instrument music in the past, so he's a huge part of the beautiful sound of Jinjer, but Vlad the drummer (who also plays guitar and classical piano, but so far not in most Jinjer songs - I think he played piano in lainnereP) has been writing more of it and wrote nine of the eleven songs for the last album Wallflowers (next album is done recording, but not out yet). Eugene composes some - he wrote the instrument music for one song on Wallflowers and a few songs on other albums, and I know that apart from his amazing work on the bass, he adds riffs and has written lyrics for a few Jinjer songs.
Jinjer has been a tour-heavy band, touring almost nonstop from 2013 to 2020 and much of the time since then (with interruptions by covid and the US backed coup/proxy war), hard work that has made them fantastic live performers. The band (all members have been Ukrainian, with Russian their first language) started in eastern Ukraine (Donetsk) in 2008 as a group of three (then five) with none of the current members (they consider the official start of the band when Tatiana replaced the male vocalist and Roman joined as lead guitar 2009/2010), Vlad is the fifth drummer (joined in 2016) and it's been a group of four since 2015 (though they consider their road sound engineer Sasha to be a fifth member). I think they're still friends with all the former members and you can see their former guitarist turned actor, Dmitry Oksen, in older videos on guitar and a more recent video (Disclosure) playing an interrogator.
One of the things I love most about Jinjer is the messages in Tatiana's lyrics and the way she combines growling and beautiful singing with Jinjer's fantastic instrumentals to be so powerful for expressing the anger and pain in those messages: the anti-war message in Home Back, the anti-greed in On The Top, Mediator and No Hoard Of Value (also the horror of the coal mining industry in their home Ukraine), the protest song Who Is Gonna Be The One, the anti-fascism of Sit Stay Roll Over, the anger at people being narrow minded in Teacher Teacher and Judgment & Punishment, the struggles with mental health in Pit Of Consciousness, Vortex, Wallflower and Perennial, the giving voice to mother nature angry at humanity for letting capitalism destroy her in a bunch of songs like Ape, The Prophecy, Cloud Factory, Noah, Outlander and Bad Water. Other favorites are I Speak Astronomy, Retrospection, Words of Wisdom, Just Another, Captain Clock, Scissors, Exposed As A Liar, I Want It I'll Get It, A Plus Or A Minus, Dip A Sail, When Two Empires Collide, lainnereP, Prologue and Beggar's Dance (those last two are short album bookends that could do well together in one reaction if you're so inclined).
I haven't found a Jinjer song I don't love, so I think you can't go wrong if you choose any of them, but a few good choices might be Perennial (official and/or live at Wacken 2019, both are must-see), Teacher Teacher (official is the studio audio with some great footage from several shows), Judgement & Punishment (official and/or Tatiana's one take performance, again both must-see), Pit of Consciousness (official and/or live in Kiev/Kyiv, a third where both are absolutely must-see) or the heartwrenching plea against war in Home Back (official video).
Thank you, Gimmickless! I hope you'll keep trying out more Jinjer songs and enjoy! ❤🖤🤘
The two I think you'd appreciate the lyrics of most are Sit Stay Roll Over and Home Back. Official videos are good for both. Their concert videos are epic though.
This is one of the first Jinjer songs where Tati delved into her mental health struggles. The sign of Pisces which is her astrology sign has two fish swimming in different directions. It is supposed to represent duality, which is reflected in the song.
I think our culture is more comfortable with the idea that "power is sexy" applies to women being attracted to men, but I feel like on a primal level it's just as advantageous for a male to mate with the strongest female they can to produce the strongest offspring.
Jinjer - On The Top (Live in Kiev)
Another great song to lyrically break down.
Parennial live in Wacken ( pronounced Vaa Ken) is a good follow up while going down the Jin Jer rabbit hole 😃 enjoy 😎
A big component of interpereting the lyrics to this song is the title, 'Pisces'. Pisces is one of the signs of the Zodiac and is represented by two fish circling each other, signifying duality. This birth sign covers the end of Winter and the beginning of Spring, death and rebirth. This duality is expressed in this song with the musical & vocal shifts as well as the song being about the sign as well as about the singer, literal and metaphorical.
Teacher Teacher!!! Judgement and Punishment one take !!!🔥🔥🔥🥊🥊🥊
You will find her lyrics deep and intriguing. Seriosly , they have about 15-20 tracks this good or better. You are into lyrics, you'll be most interested in Teacher Teacher. Jinjer is almost a genre unto themselves.
Welcome to the Jinjer journey/ adventure. Tatiana is a world - class growler. Jinjer plays inside and outside the box. Every song distinct and very much at times a thrill ride.
It is so frustrating that many lyric sites get the refrain wrong. It’s not “scale armor blaze”. That makes zero sense. It’s “Scale armor belies virgin innocence”.
There was some sort of mix-up with the "official" lyrics...
Welcome to the Jinjer Nation!!!! The "rabbit Hole" you're about travel through will amaze and entertain you for sure!!! The rest of the band are incredible musicians to boot!!!
"We are always our worst enemies" You got it even before the real stuff started!
Great reaction I love when people that doesn’t listen to this kind of music gives it a listen with an open mind and really likes it. I’ve been a metal head my whole adult life and I’m 57 now and I didn’t discover Jinjer until about 3 years ago and it blew my mind. Now I won’t miss another Jinjer concert if anywhere near me (Atlanta). Now my hobby is watching Jinjer reactions on TH-cam they have a deep library and none are bad. They changed a bit over the years but the older songs are more raw and they are awesome.
October 9, 2024
You’ll appreciate the Perennial lyrics. So poetic. Watch the live at Whacken video. Seeing them for the 2nd time in September in a small club! Can’t wait. Amazing live.
its scale armored bellies she is talking about the sign Pisces its fish and the duality. it kinda sound like blaze but its bell-ies but the i is turning into a to make a easier and better sounding melody. its like ppl singing may instead of me. avoinding the weird iii sound. alot of lyric pages say blaze but its bellies with 2 syllables where the second one is way louder.
"Neptune was the Roman god of waters and seas, who controlled winds and storms"
I also Checked the zodiac. "Pisces"..
The two kind of opposing fish..
In the song 2 opposing time signatures'.
two opposing types of singing..
And she has a littlie fish in each of her ear spacers/gauges?? One on each side/ear = 2 .
Go figure??
Oh my; what can it mean?
Do you suppose this could be a coincidence? LOL
Destroy, teacher teacher mean rap growl.
🔥🔥🤟😎
Its..."scale armour belies virgin innocence". Say it as one sentence.
The lyrics got printed (misprinted?) as "Scale armour blaze / Virgin innocence" in the CD booklet, so the band say that is the "official" version (probably so as to not embarrass the record company...)
I love the light and shade of this song which also lends itself to the duality of the lyrics and also Pieces as a star sign
As a lyric nerd, you are going to love jinjer. Tatiana is an English lit major.
It's jinjer time and I will always be here for that. This band is something special next level stuff.
Welcome to the greatness that is Jinjer. 🍻 You haven't seen or heard nothin' yet. Many twists, turns and surprises both lyrically and musically await you if you delve deeper. Jinjer is a once in a generation band. 🤘 💙💛
I loved your reaction so much I subscribed to your channel. I almost never do that on a first go around.
On this side of the pond we call a "wife beater" simply.. a vest 😂
My friend, thank you for the great reaction video. It is very clear that you are not at all close to music in this style - but you are honestly and sincerely trying to figure it out, to understand... It commands respect!..
Great reaction! Thank you! You really broke the song down very well. Very few do that. Subscribed!
Hey!
i don't know if you read comments if you do listen to =
Jinjer - Teacher Teacher (Official Video)
Is a little rap in there and her BARS is incredibly good!
Neptune is the god of the sea. Neptunes child - fish - pisces?? btw, pisces is an astrological sign depicting two fish swimming in opposite directions. this is what the song is about.
Tatiana is a goddess, and the lyrics of the songs have a lot of meaning and are very well written.....next react "Cloud Factory live"
Nightwish is more operatic, Jinjer is more Take that in your face.
Jinjer is awesome. Perennial live at Wacken (pronounced Vacken) and Judgment & Punishment live one take.
But you should also check out Floor’s previous band, Revamp. Their song Disdain live at Wacken. Floor definitely growling.
Non hiphop really does present the emotion through the vocalization. What rap has done for me is gotten me to focus on lyrics more.
This is a channel I never felt more certain about subscribing to. I can not fully convey how much I appreciate finding your channel for the first time with this video. I feel rewarded having just watched your content that I have been desperate to find.
(The following is from my life experience which does not suggest everyone else's is the same.)
I can’t remember ever seeing any TH-cam providers that focused on the lyrics, message, and worked to draw out their own interpretation.
As a kid I bought NWA, Public Enemy, and DJ Quick, and others first albums on cassette when they were released. I appreciate good rap but the environment became so toxic, self-grandising and disrespectful that, aside from a miniscule number of current rappers, it lost my respect. I’m likely not fully aware of what’s out there though.
As someone who appreciates quality lyrics I feel personally justified in saying that you just opened the door to a whole new amazing world of lyrics and genuine messages that affect most people’s lives which society doesn’t discuss because it makes people uncomfortable. Rape, child abuse, suicide, and other life altering experiences are met head on in metal with honesty and vulnerability. Of course there are shallow douche-bags out for fame or money, as in ever form of expression.
Take lyrics that connect with people and help them realize they’re not alone anymore in dealing with something life changing that they’re too ashamed to talk about. Add aggressive, pulse raising music that makes you want to explode and vent every ounce of anger, perceived injustice, childhood trauma and simply having to deal with ignorant ass people all day.
Combine all of this with people coming together from all walks of life, alone or labeled as rejects. Each one joins a worldwide family of every color, gender sexual preference, and any other label forced on you by people that don’t have a clue who you really are as a person. A family you’re accepted by and where you are judged on only three things, at least in my circle and what I read and witness of other fans all over the world.
1. The only requirement is that you love the music and community as a way of life. No one is judged or excluded for any other reason dictated by “society” or the media.
2. You look out for everyone else.
3. Male fans never disrespect our female family.
I’ve been playing guitar since I was 6 years old, in 79’. I’ve never witnessed the comradery, acceptance and concern for others that I’ve witnessed firsthand at nearly every one of the hundred plus metal concerts I attended over the last 35 years.
If you continue diving into metal lyrics that people highly recommend it won’t take long for you to see why rock and metal for many is more of a belief and you’ll feel the love and respect from the fans.
I thank you sir and happily enlist to be a supporter.
Cleopatra reborn. The sirens voice to charm the God's and the authority of thunder to bring nations to obedience. This band is the most amazing out there.
Scale armour blaze, meaning fish scales look like armour. Pisces zodiac symbol is two fish showing the yin and yang of life. No light without dark. No life without death. This song is about the two sides of tatiana since she's a pisces.
It is German so it is Va Ken with the a is ahh.
Two fish (pieces) like yen and yag . Two different sides of the same. Oh and the band is from Ukraine.
yin and yang
@kingsfan I mean absolutely no disrespect because I typo and misspell things all the time, but yen and yag has me laughing literally out loud 🤣
@MLuxemburg ,well I have my human moments 😳 oof
Welcome to the wonderfully wild and beautiful world of Jinjer. The best thing you could've done was pull up the lyrics as you listened to the song. So many people don't do that. Thank you! Tati takes pride in NOT sounding like a girl when she growls. She has a multitude of influences when she sings. The band members are ALL extremely talented while Vlad, "the drummer," is the only member who has a musical training background.
I could go on and on, but I'm sure you're getting so much information from the other fans and followers about this awesome band from Ukraine. I hope you continue to react to more videos because this is only the top of the rabbit hole. You earned a subscriber here.
Slava Ukraini! 🤘🏽🇺🇦
I have seen them 4 times the last 2 we hung out. I feel sorry for my sister. All the music has been written for a new album. She just got her inspiration and started pouring out lyrics. I can't give anyone more than that. Just know im in the industry and am now well connected to Vlad and Roman. Leaving it there. Just to clarify, if its named after a planet, its Roman. Remember they ruled for a thousand plus years. They got to name a ton of things. Your question on Neptune
Yes, it's the planet Neptune -- but it was only discovered in 1846! In modern (obviously) Astrology, Neptune is the controlling planet for the star sign Pisces.
❤️
great first read on the lyrics ... Tatiana is a true poet.
you'd like _Perennial_ live a Wacken *2019* (they've made multiple appearances at the Wacken festival) . _Teacher Teacher_ and _Judgement & Punishment_ are also really good follow-ups.
everyone has their different favorites. for me it's _No Hoard of Value_ and _Home Back_
for something a bit softer, their song _Wallflower_ is amazing.
excellent reaction.....there are other songs written by Tatiana that you will probably love....."Perennial and Cloud Factory" will be examples
reactions on pisces never get bored
Yes, Neptune is a god in Roman mythology, the god of the sea, fresh water, and horses. Which goes with Pisces, we are a water sign, our sign is 2 fishes.
Hey you can turn off the yt feature that automatically plays a randomly related video. That's the button left to the CC icon. Don't embarrass yourself.
Teacher, Teacher next!!!! Pleaaaasse!
it"s actually "scale armor BELIES...virgin innocence"
I'm very glad,that You compare Floor and Tati..Floor is going high,Tati will wakes You up with a lower growls ..they both are so amazing..❤
You need to check Teacher Teacher. Lirics there is WOW! And song itself is so top!
Judgement and Punishment...... she basically does this with Reggae
Aloha GR, if lyrics is your thing, please check out a band The Warning, especially their first 3 albums, because those albums were entirely written by the 3 sisters that comprise the band. Their latest 4th album is a collaborative project, so although the 3 sisters still make all the final choices for their lyrics, they have begun to include input from other artists. They have a huge TH-cam catalog of lyric videos that you can watch, but their superpower is in their live concerts! The Warning has been a band for just over 10 years! PS - I am a fan of Jinjer!
Metal vocalists are the best! 🤘
For more great lyrics, try Draconian -Pale tortured blue 💜
Tatiana is an amazing lyricist. If lyrics are your thing, you should absolutely checkout their song "Perennial". I would do the Live at Wacken 2019 version. But it's an incredibly poetic song about her seasonal affective disorder and how she relates that to nature preparing for winter. It's a beautiful poem, set to brutal metal.
Simply put... The song is ying and yang. Pisces is two fish. She is two fish.
Hi, Lyric Nerd. You might find it interesting to compare this song to Christian Schubart's poem _Die Forelle_ ('The Trout'), set to music as a _lied_ by Franz Schubert in 1817. They share a theme of innocent young women being cynically 'fished for' and exploited by men. Tatiana, having a degree in Literature, was likely aware of the _lied_ when she wrote these lyrics.
Incidentally, Floor Jansen also can and does growl, but did so more often in her former bands After Forever and ReVamp (look for the latter's live performance of 'Distain'). In Nightwish, Tuomas Holopainen is less inclined to write growling parts for her (though see live performances of 'Yours Is an Empty Hope').
Yeah, the captions don't work on this video unfortunately.
Pretty ladies, try Spiritbox. Also it's normal to feel "conflicted" sensations to the growls
Wait until you see the Perennial live video
Here's a band you should check out in the newer metal genre. The band is called Bloodywood. Start with either Machi Bhasad or Aaj. They have stuff going back a ways but their beginning was that of taking popular Bollywood songs and making them metal. It was originally a duo but is now a full band. Think Rage against the machine meets like Disturbed. Metal with rap and each song has a deep meaning behind it.
Well if you liked this one just wait. For me this song isn't in the top ten best song from this band. So, sit back and enjoy the ride good sir. One other point they sound just as good live.
The online lyrics are wrong the chorus is “Scale armour belies (gives the false impression of) virgin innocence.
You mentioned (I think) Floor (i.e., Floor Jansen of Nightwish) ... you know she growls too? If you haven't watched it yet, then I expect you would appreciate 'Yours is an Empty Hope' (live from Wembley 2015). You can find it at: th-cam.com/video/vyLsU7Q333k/w-d-xo.html
If you want to be impressed by rock vocals, then I'd recommend the band Leprous. Perhaps start with 'Slave' live from Rockefeller Music Hall (th-cam.com/video/1QKx_2yg4cU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MaOWROH--oJE0aDU) and then follow it up with 'Below' (th-cam.com/video/4nPwBSaJmgI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1KDULlEd-XKn4MIS). You won't be disappointed
Our Ukrainian super girl 🇺🇦🤘❤️
Syper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!;!;;;!!!!!!!
You want deep lyrics from a metal (death core) band? Check out Pain Remains (trilogy) by Lorna Shore. You mention him, just not sure if you’ve heard the lyrics. Many online reactions end in tears.
It's all in the song title, my guy.
Try out sleep token “assensionism”
Very deep lyrics and awesome song!
How do you pause in the middle of the one and only belt...
Here's a suggested gimmick for you - LISTEN.
It's astrology and astronomy. 2 fishes swimming one, chasing a tail. Peace listen closely
Astronomy has nothing to do with zodiac signs. 🙄
neptune is a water god cause of the topic pisces aka fish
If you’re really obsessed with lyrics, you really need to dive into Tool!
You got a hold of an incorrect set of lyrics. I did as well my first time looking up the lyrics. It's not "Scale armor blaze". Correct lyrics are "Scale armor belies".
Rappers...
If you are looking for deep lyrics and one of the best metal bands of all time, check out "tool - The Pot". Don't use the music videos they are distracting and not fully related to the song.
You just need to find out what a pices means..that is an astrological sign..😊..
'belies' not 'blaze'.
Tatiana is a very poetic lyricist, any Jinjer song will have you thinking. Just fyi those lyrics posted are wrong the first line of the chorus is "scale armour belies virgin innocence" not scale armour blaze.
Neptune is the Roman god of ocean and freshwater. Pisces is a zodiac sign (two fish). With these two pieces of info, maybe you will be better able to interpret the lyrics. I see the song being about duality in people.
In this context, it's the planet Neptune.
@@johnbriggs3916 If you have seen where any of the band members have said it refers to the planet please provide proof. The planet was named after the god. not the other way around. How does a planet have a child? "A Neptune's child shivering inside" For the record, I am an atheist and see ALL gods as myths so I am not implying that any gods are real, much less Neptune.
@@wally837 In modern (obviously) Astrology, Neptune is the controlling planet for the star sign Pisces. So anyone born under Pisces will be Neptune's child.
pretty sure it should be "scale armor belies virgin innocence".
I am absolutely sure you're mistaken, as Tatiana has stated on several occasions, it's "Scale Armour BLAZE". Please stop spreading incorrect information
Tatiana confirmed in interviews that it is blaze, like the sun bouncing off glass and blazing into your eye, the same bouncing off fish scales.
@@MLuxemburg I reckon she was teasing, fed up of people mishearing her lyrics. I mean, Eugene said they were called Jinjer because it was the sound guitars made (?), clearly nonsense. I wouldn't take everything they say as gospel. Musicians are forever goofing around.
It probably should be, but it got printed as "blaze" in the CD booklet, which makes it "official"...
you can also listen to the LA performance for the dvd that came out in May, she is very clearly saying blaze and not belies
AHHhhhhh... Welcome to the party, Y'all!!!! Jinjer is a DEATH METAL BAND from Ukraine. The female Lead Vocalist is Tianna... she's quite accomplished, & I'm certain that you NEVER heard a VOICE SCREAM like her (she also has a QUITE BUTTERY singing voice as well), but HOW she can change it up??? SOOOO SEAMLESSLY... AND the contrasts in her vocal range is NEXT LEVEL!!!! TRULY LEGENDARY & TOP TIER. NO CAP. PERIOD. AND... the REST of the band are quite accomplished in their own right. The song structure, the lyricism, the musicianship & the instrumentation... who better to BACK Tianna, The Goddess of DEATH, than THESE GUYS??? Check out their catalog of music... I do believe they released 4 Albums already, so there's plenty of music from them now. I'm certain that you won't regret it!!!! Once again, WELCOME TO THE PARTY, Y'ALL!!!! Your life will NEVER TRULY BE the same. You've been WARNED. MIC DROP 🎤.
