Looking around with the on-going craze of generative AI, and then this song and its video coming out in 2018. Dustin Bates is certainly ahead of his time.
Waiting. I'm evolving in a place that I thought I'd left. Self-conflicted in my hand-made prison and the only exit from this hell - is to... I want to create something on that. This song will be a song for all of my life.
Home Roku this isn’t Dustin. Dustin actually sent the company behind this a cease and decease. This is AI. Not a human. Look on his Instagram for the full story.

Dustin Bates' can do literally anything if he can create music from three entirely different projects (Starset, Downplay and now MNQN), so watch out lmao
This is awesome stuff. Any chance or releasing instrumentals of your album? I would love to have this in the background while I work, but I can't focus when there are lyrics.
So you wish to connect, MNQN. I have no problem with an AI like yourself trying to understand humans (even though I’m one, and I understand them less than you do). In fact, I wish to interface with you some day to ask you about what it’s like watching humans from a third-party perspective.
The woman reminds me of Ariana Grande and her rabbit mask on the cover of her 'Dangerous Woman' album. Actually, I'm pretty sure it's the same style of mask in this video.
This song is my Amphetamine
Now you, you got it !
Oh my God. 1:02 "A Brave New World" in the Computation section. Woah.
This is some crazy foreshadowing 😂
I just noticed it aswell
This music deserves so much more attention

"Animal Oddity" lyric video I made. Came out pretty badass

I really love how this is planned out; the emotional visualizer, selection and computation. Please keep it up!

"Animal Oddity" lyric video I made. Pretty dope
This whole album gives me chills. Dustin is an evil genius
"Take me to the edge of the possible..." Gives me chills everytime
Same
This is the one mnqn song i've become obsessed with.
You can become addicted to this song if you listen to it a couple of times ♥
I hope MNQN and STARSET both grow to great heights. Best of luck for you Dustin
Before I speak, I just want to say that this song is smooth, and the lyrics, they’re just, they take my breath away
Waiting.
I'm evolving
in a place
that I thought
I'd left.
Self-conflicted
in my hand-made
prison
and the only
exit
from this hell
- is to...
I want to create something on that.
This song will be a song for all of my life.
IPSYLON I heard that song completely different lol
@@americanracer8060 LoL
Is to die
@@brothersoutdoors1526 R. I. P. 😄
Spending time on each void is a human anomaly.
Primitive.
Only A. I. will be alive when all we are gone to hell.
Seems too forced
This is beautiful. Very nice, Dustin.

If Dustin blends starset and mnqn that would be awesome: I’d probably shit myself
Agreed
u and me both
I've got a good news for ya
@@RazielSnow what is it
aden entertainment Fautline and Waking Up sound like MNQN
we`re waiting our master arrive in 2019
Wtf
amazing song MNQN great first few songs
I DIDNT KNOW DUSTIN BATES HAD ANOTHER BAND W NEW SOMGS???? MY GOODNESS THIS FEELS LIKE A GOLDMINE
RIIIIGHT?? I've been listening to starset since 2014 and had no idea 😭😭😭
We need such vids for every fucking mnqn song
This sound is amazing
th-cam.com/video/3iDcpOcPrOc/w-d-xo.html
"Animal Oddity" lyric video I made. Pretty dope
I love this. Idk what the story behind it is but it’s frikin awesome
I feel like this song being Remixed into a Starset song would be so fire. Its already good so just add in the HUGE chorus HIT and it would be so MEATY
1:17 oh thats a message. 20/10
Also the root note setting is fantastic. Now I gotta learn to play it
Such a phenomenal song!
Genius concept ! Love it A to Z
Can't wait to listen to this while faded.
This video is genius. Fits perfectly to MNQN
Just amazing and transcendental! Beautiful mixing too
[Verse 1]
Blurry
When you're with me
Got me hazy
You take my breath away
And I'm faded
Stimulated
Drinking you in
'Till you intoxicate
Disaffected
By the lies and politics
You could be my one escape
'Till we're gone, gone, gone away
[Pre-Chorus]
Take me to the edge of the possible
Take me from the ground to another world
I wanna feel the high when you pull me up
Into the air
And take me to the end of the logical
I want to feel the sin 'till it's not enough
Your monkey on my back never coming off
I don't care
You're my amphetamine
[Chorus]
"I'm alive, there's no pain"
Something I've never seen
A new high for my vein
You are my amphetamine
A white line to my brain
Something I can't obtain
A new high, a new strain
You are my amphetamine
[Verse 2]
Faded
Left here jaded
Left to crave it
'Till I'm stuck in a modern daze
And I'm drifted
Something shifted
Left addicted
To the air you stimulate
Captivated
Everything you ever said
The only one with the only flame
To get me lit 'till I'm gone again
[Pre-Chorus]
Take me to the edge of the possible
Take me from the ground to another world
I wanna feel the high when you pull me up
Into the air
And take me to the end of the logical
I want to feel the sin 'till it's not enough
Your monkey on my back never coming off
I don't care
You're my amphetamine
[Chorus]
"I'm alive, there's no pain"
Something I've never seen
A new high for my vein
You are my amphetamine
A white line to my brain
Something I can't obtain
A new high, a new strain
You are my amphetamine
[Pre-Chorus]
Take me to the edge of the possible
Take me from the ground to another world
I wanna feel the high when you pull me up
Into the air
And take me to the end of the logical
I want to feel the sin 'till it's not enough
Your monkey on my back never coming off
I don't care
You're my amphetamine
[Chorus]
"I'm alive, there's no pain"
Something I've never seen
A new high for my vein
You are my amphetamine
A white line to my brain
Something I can't obtain
A new high, a new strain
You are my amphetamine
[Spoken Outro]
I pause to think of truth
(In what truth?)
What if truth was a woman?
(Is a woman?)
What then?
Is that grounds to think that all philosophers
Insofar they were dogmatists
Have been very inexpert about women?
It is truly a human anomaly

"Animal Oddity" lyric video I made. Fu***n sick
Glad that starsetfans guided me here
This is pure art
WOOOOWW MAAAN!
Awesome... really, truly awesome!
:: PROCESSING AURAL INPUT :: ........ :: APPROVED ::
That was a really interesting video. Oh MNQN, when will your mysteries be revealed?
This is amazing bro!
Dustin - I need more MNQN! 😢
Love this song! Perfection.❤❤❤
okay this is awesome
WHICH Program I must Dcompilate this midi?
my program does not Dcode as close as you have in the video.
Dude this music has just 20 000 views but deserves like minimum 1mil views this is fkg good... ;)
I thought the person in the thumbnail was Anya-Taylor-joy
Awesome video!
This...this is the greatest thing in all of existence, simply because IT IS, and also some personal reasons which I'm obviously NOT GONNA share.
This is pure pleasure to my ears omg....

That would imply you had sex with this song. Honestly same.
How can I find more songs like this? What is this genre?
I ask myself this every time I hear Dustin sing. He's just one of a kind on everything he touches.
Amazing job Dustin
I wish to connect as well.
A letra dessa música é perfeita!
song connection approved
I need a new MNQN album
After 2 years I'm back and happy
We. Need. More. Please
This is awesome stuff. Any chance or releasing instrumentals of your album? I would love to have this in the background while I work, but I can't focus when there are lyrics.
Just found you, y'all? Anyways I found your music on spotify and your shit is 11/10 would bang levels of good so keep it up!
Si de por si starset esta infravalorada para mnqn no hay palabras para decir lo infravalorada que esta

The woman reminds me of Ariana Grande and her rabbit mask on the cover of her 'Dangerous Woman' album. Actually, I'm pretty sure it's the same style of mask in this video.
