Wow, mantis high society sure is weird. "My, your lack of a head sure is appealing today, Edward;" "Fuck off, Jessica, that's my husband you're talking to"
My interpretation of the song is that it's a metaphor for religiously arranged marriages and the wife kills her husband from the arranged marriage to escape the marriage and husband didnt want to be in the arranged marriage either but it ended in a tragedy
Adding to this theory, it should be mentioned that female mantises have only eaten their mates’ heads when in captivity. When they’re *forced* to occupy the same space. Like an arranged marriage.
I THOUGHT BARBARA AND CONNOR WHEN I SAW THIS COMMENT...I FORGOT CONNOR'S NAME AND WENT WITH ADAM....ironically, diana and dex were their voice things in the song, so who knows
When I listened to the song I thought it was about two mantises who didn't want to do the thing of eating the head, but now I guess that your interpretation is more accurate
When they say "Made to start my own happy family," I always hear "Made to start my unhappy family." I know these aren't the intended lyrics, but they still fit so well as a double meaning.
At first I thought this was talking about Evilious (no, the evilious Fandom is NOT okay) and then I remembered Kaito was always the dad killed... EVEN THOUGH GUMI KILLED HER DAD IN ONE OF THE SONGS. (Long story, Daddy issues is a main cause of death in Evilious)
first time hearing this, and i think this is a metaphor for lesbians and gay guys being forced to get married in some way. mostly because of the line "please don't out me" and how the 2 are forced to get married, continue tradition, and keep the genes going, as said in the song. so, i think they are both gay. the green girl is a lesbian and the brown one is gay. they went to conversion therapy and after they were "cured" they got married against their will mostly. after a while, they had to give in to their urges and stuff, and maybe that's symbolized by green earing browns head after they fuck? idk, I'm tired. I'm probably wrong about this theory though. good song as always!
In the real world, the female mantis eats the male mantis after reproduction. So in my opinion it's not them giving in to their urges, but rather them giving in to society's expectations. Looking at the lyrics at that portion of the song, that seems to be what's implied at least.
@@pfysche2283 that makes sense since the female mantis eating the male is their “societal norm”. So it makes a good metaphor for the idea that they’ve both given into something because that’s the norm rather than it being something they actually want.
My interpretation of the ending is simple: they get married to people they don't love. Whether or not their gay doesn't quite matter in this stories, for regardless they do not love each other. And they never will. They feel guilty for not loving each and hope that their marriage could grow to a friendship perhaps never love, but a certain type of partnership. Yet as years go by they never grow to love/care for each other, if anything they slowly grew to hate each other. Still as their duties call, they raise children. It's a perfect family: a strong husband, a loving wife, a beautiful daughter, and a brave son. Yet when they look at their children they feel a sense of emptiness. It's not quite strong enough to be hatred, yet they don't view their children as their own but rather a simple duty they must fulfill. they feel disgusted for not loving them or each other, yet they couldn't bring themselves to see this family as nothing more than a trap. A lie. That's all. Perhaps their children understand that deep down their parents aren't the normal loving ones, but perhaps they think this is normal. Their children well never have the unconditional love that all children should have. Why? Because it was the same as their parents and the ones before them. These children will grow up and marry for the gain of their families. They won't love each nor will they think they should. They will have children and the cruelty will continue. There will be variations perhaps unlike their parents they will be blatant about their hatred of the marriage and to the extent their families. Perhaps they will looked elsewhere, perhaps they will kill each other. As for the bride and groom of this song? They are nothing special, they know that. Love is a luxury not a requirement. This story is perhaps a dime of a dozen. They in an extent are cowards who bend so easiltto the will of society. A society that kills them slowly and painful, yet they couldn't ever refuse. Why? Well they are far too use to the luxuries of these world, and they are scared. I said it doesn't matter if their gay or not since it's kinda true. For this story fits whether their homosexual or heterosexual ( that being said it's perfectly fine if their gay I'm not disproving it or anything) They hate themselves and each other. They hate the world and society as a whole. Yet they could never bring themselves to rebel. Perhaps the "bride" of this story is far more daring. Perhaps she is openly dissatisfied with her life and marriage. Perhaps she lashes out on her "beloved" husband. Her husband just nods, losing his will years ago. Deep down he hates her, yet he can't leave. All he can do is smile on and beg to God to kill him. His too much of a COWARD to leave. And true be told she's a hypocrite for condemning him for it. They will grow old and die, perhaps in the same bed. Perhaps holding each other, but they will NEVER hold each other so closely to their hearts.
"Edward Thompson and Dorothy Williams went on to live prosperous, married lives." "They were the pinnacle of high society." "The pinnacle of high society as in "Dorothy ate her husband not even two seconds after they were married." "

Ok so, What I can gather from this, I think the dream was about the mantis being married but then followed about what mantis actually do Which is basically, after they mate the female mantis could eat the male-
@@nightdog4183 "Please don't out me!" & "Our true colors always forced to hide" Could be some of them, and about having to conform to society. Plus, the the "forced seduction" part (the last line of the song).
@@nightdog4183 Well, everyone's saying how when the mantis bride kills her husband, it is giving into society's norm because female mantis kill the male mantis after reproduction. Which is nature's norm.

The fact that this song came out on my birthday makes me very happy. This is a beautiful birthday gift of the mantis version of the foxes wedding that my mum never gave to me. Thank you so much, Stardust! :)
If I had a nickel for every time Dex was used in a song about a mantis getting eaten, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.👍 wonderful job!

Awesome song! Like commentary on the pressure placed to follow traditional conventions of love through the use such a ritualistically horrific species XD
Did u know this actually happens to a male mantis after the female gives birth to her offspring? The female eats the father to prevent him from eating their offspring. So I kinda get the concept, however I'm curious to understand the actual meaning behind the song tho.
@@StardustLegend well, two come to mind 1. beyond the beef. basically, you get to choose to either "out" mortimer for his crimes against humanity to marjorie, kill an entitled teen and out marjorie, or kill the paranoid man and out marjorie's hypocrisy 2. Dead Money. now, this is a dlc, but it contains a character named Christine. she's a lesbian, who is force-outed by her dad and forced in a suicide mission to rob a toxin-infested casino with a kill collar. you can choose to help her escape, or succumb into violence by attempting to kill both you and her dad

Set by those who care about posterity
They told me that I would be happy
Though I feel that’s quite the contrary
I was made the lovely bride to be
Made to raise my own happy family
Despite all that I have been given
I could never see myself forgiven
If I were to ever stray away
From the path they put me underway
I was born without a right to say
My own thoughts didn’t matter anyway
What I wanted was irrelevant
My own will is thought to be decadent
Creeping, crawling, all through my very skin
Gnashing, mending, all for my only kin
Bending, breaking, buckling under thin
Bleeding, bruising, flesh from deep within
What was I to do with these tendencies?
Feeling like I committed felony
Accusations forming like treachery
I don’t want to be seen as guilty!

But my time has come to settle down,
Set by those who would look down and frown.
For the sake of my posterity
I will give my whole vitality
Mending, building up quite the matrimony,
Feeling, crying out for insurgency.
Walking, pacing, out so wordlessly.
Gleaming, smiling, laughing so forcibly,
This has always seemed like the normalcy,
Acting out a lie so half-heartedly,
Keep the façade up so cheerfully,

Oh the rising tides come with me,
Acting like a fool with such glee.
Ever waiting loyal I promise!
Ceremonial in process.
Vines they grow along my vision.
Oh the lovely fruit they’ve given.
Placing me into submission
Wedging cracks among division.
Oh the gentle wind that soothed me,
Breezing by when I once was free
Howling into old tradition.
Bending me into “perfection”.
Thorns along the vines they’ve caught me.
Burrowing like roots of the tree.
Giving up on my whole being.
Sacrifice the dreams I’m seeing.

In fact I was already experiencing the depressive episode, just the beginnings of it, as it was very long. I still have yet to pick up art again as I'm recovering from the aftermath. So I never got to this idea sadly. :(
Would love to revisit this sometime though. I still love this song!
It might run in the family, but this is where it runs out.
The fact that this song came out on my birthday makes me very happy. This is a beautiful birthday gift of the mantis version of the foxes wedding that my mum never gave to me. Thank you so much, Stardust! :)
Hey, we have the same birthday!
@@chorus1407 AYEEEE
I was… about to argue but Vocaloid, marriage and cannibalism, it checks out uncannily well.
as an aro i vibe with this song
apathetic coffee • 9 years ago the 9 years ago killed me
MMMMM, I LOVE MANTISES!!!!!
I really liked this one, the art ,dark themes and imagery, absolutely stunning. Amazing job Stardust! :D
thanks Sierra!!
I really like the art this is how you do anthro insects right
Someone get GHOST on this

4:41 dex 4
Will I sleep well tonight?? No. But is this a goddamn bop?? Hell yeah.
Never thought gumi and dex’s voice would go so perfectly together! Awesome song!
This one was a good one! I was waiting for that moment when the mantis was gonna head the husbands head! Great job!
If I had a nickel for every time Dex was used in a song about a mantis getting eaten, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.👍 wonderful job!
When god didnt return with the moth chained to his hand
Damn, Dex got murdered by his wife a 2nd time- First Nancy, now Dorthy- Vro has no luck when it comes to Wives-
Lyrics:
I was raised to never disagree
With the whims and will of society
I was taught to follow my “destiny”
Set by those who care about posterity
They told me that I would be happy
Though I feel that’s quite the contrary
I was made the lovely bride to be
Made to raise my own happy family
Despite all that I have been given
I could never see myself forgiven
If I were to ever stray away
From the path they put me underway
I was born without a right to say
My own thoughts didn’t matter anyway
What I wanted was irrelevant
My own will is thought to be decadent
Creeping, crawling, all through my very skin
Gnashing, mending, all for my only kin
Bending, breaking, buckling under thin
Bleeding, bruising, flesh from deep within
What was I to do with these tendencies?
Feeling like I committed felony
Accusations forming like treachery
I don’t want to be seen as guilty!
Heads up! Please don’t touch me!
Just hold back, please don’t hurt me!
Stay away, it’s not safe, just obey, keep at bay!
Hey, you! Please stay with me!
“Let’s be friends?”, please don’t out me!
Make amends, privileged ends, hiding sin, life begins
I was never one to disagree
With the whims and will of society
Always stick to what is familiar
Though what she feels I feel similar
Just another cog in the machine
Made to keep it lovely and pristine
I was made the handsome groom to be
Made to start my own happy family
I would always fall in line for thee
For the sake of my survivability
Never questioned what was relevant
So that I would not seem decadent
But my time has come to settle down
Set by those who would look down and frown
For the sake of my posterity
I will give my whole vitality
Mending, building up quite the matrimony
Feeling, crying out for insurgency
Walking, pacing, out so wordlessly
Gleaming, smiling, laughing so forcibly
This has always seemed like the normalcy
Acting out a lie so half-heartedly
Keep the façade up so cheerfully
Was this meant to be my eternity?
Oh the rising tides come with me
Acting like a fool with such glee
Ever waiting loyal I promise!
Ceremonial in process
Vines they grow along my vision
Oh, the lovely fruit they’ve given
Placing me into submission
Wedging cracks among division
Oh, the gentle wind that soothed me
Breezing by when I once was free
Howling into old tradition
Bending me into “perfection”
Thorns along the vines they’ve caught me
Burrowing like roots of the tree
Giving up on my whole being
Sacrifice the dreams I’m seeing
Heads up! Please don’t touch me!
Just hold back, please don’t hurt me!
Stay away, it’s not safe, just obey, keep at bay!
Hey, you! Please stay with me!
“Let’s be friends?”, Please don’t out me!
Make amends, privileged ends hiding sin, life begins.
We were never ones to disagree
With the whims and will of society
We had always values conformity
So that we cold please our family
Despite all the things we have given
We could never see ourselves forgiven
We could never go against the tides
Our true colors always forced to hide
Heads up! Please just take me!
Don’t hold back, it won’t hurt me!
It’s okay, we’re not safe, keep that face, take a taste!
Hey, you! Please stay with me!
“We’re not friends? It’s so lonely.”
Caving in, feeling bent, taking sin, life begins
Oh the woeful kiss we’ve given
Acting out as our contrition
Work to silence their suspicion
Giving into such tradition
Taken against my volition
Yearning for the abolition
Of such backwards obligation
Bringing out such forced seduction
Epic
It's mysterious and lonely, passionate and harsh, dramatic song!!!!
Moral of the story: don’t marry a mantis
i'm convinced that at least a couple thousand of the views on this are me because this song is a goddamn banger
Oh thank god, it isn't a weird hentai.
Wait excuse me what the fuck
Debatable.
I sadly am the bringer of bad news
Damn it!
hehe 69
Fun Fact: Male Praying Mantises are smaller and are often eaten by females after mating.
Hence the title of the song and end scene.
WHOS THE ONE PERSON THAT DISLIKED THIS I JUST WANNA TALK
They’ve multiplied!
Now you'll never know...
i can hear this bing boing sounds in teh background at 3:10 and it just makes my ears go bing bong too and its amazing
Probably not gonna be able to show up to the premiere but I'm still looking forward to listening to this song!
Awesome song! Like commentary on the pressure placed to follow traditional conventions of love through the use such a ritualistically horrific species XD
Queer Bug Bop✨💫⭐️🌟
Like your Character Designs StardustLegend! I especially Like Edward's Design. The Meaning of the song is good to😊
mlm x wlw solidarity
i feel like I've seen you around before
Vore/10 will listen to again
It rhymes
As one who really likes praying mantis and studies them I really enjoyed this video! 10/10 best video on TH-cam by far
İ really like such songs like this
The ones that makes a slander of religion and society but also has a proper plot outside of that
This is so good ❤️
Such a bop. I enjoy this. Its dark and mindtwisting
I can't believe I just noticed how cleverly the lyrics are written
This is how a mantis life is....
Damn
Another excellent work from the great StarDootLegend! Another excellent paraphilia to add to my extensive list!
I wish there was an instrumental of this!! Id love to make a cover
An inst was uploaded just recently!!
@@gentle_madman really? Do you have a link?

@@kona-p5579 th-cam.com/video/7go0wS_JPD4/w-d-xo.html yeah super late to the party with this one mb adshjfdshflkasd
i love how as soon as you see the characterr designs you know whats coming so u just sit there in dread-suspence
this hits hard song-wise and message-wise
Did u know this actually happens to a male mantis after the female gives birth to her offspring? The female eats the father to prevent him from eating their offspring. So I kinda get the concept, however I'm curious to understand the actual meaning behind the song tho.
I love mantises and this song is bomb great work
this song is AMAZING. like DAMN i never knew a fever dream could spark such a bop
I LOVE this song, kinda wish it was on Soundcloud or Spotify, but idrc it’s so catchy!!! :D
This song as well as a bunch of mine are now on Spotify and other places good news!! >v
Dude this needs to go on Spotify!
already on there uvu
i got this song added to my shuffle playlist on spotify and i am *SO GLAD* it did :D
this is my favourite song now, wow! the instrumental parts are really beautiful
on a happier note this was basically the plot of a FNV side quest
dang I REALLY need to play FNV. I was planning on getting it on steam and streaming it sometime
@@StardustLegend you should it's really fun!!
@@whiteglovian out of curiosity what's the side quest
@@StardustLegend well, two come to mind
1. beyond the beef. basically, you get to choose to either "out" mortimer for his crimes against humanity to marjorie, kill an entitled teen and out marjorie, or kill the paranoid man and out marjorie's hypocrisy
2. Dead Money. now, this is a dlc, but it contains a character named Christine. she's a lesbian, who is force-outed by her dad and forced in a suicide mission to rob a toxin-infested casino with a kill collar. you can choose to help her escape, or succumb into violence by attempting to kill both you and her dad
now this is a real *BOP*
I wasn't expecting to like this as much as I do
Is reminds me of 1929
In a bad way and a good way
“They were the pineapple of high society.”
Ah yes us pineapples must stick together
it says pinnacle but now i see pineapple too 😖
一目惚れしました。このリズムと声が大好き。
The Premiere is my favorite part!

I just found this and it’s awesome

@@NumberOneSpiderPlushFan WHY DOES TH-cam SUCK WITH NOTIFICATIONS AAAAAA
hey pal it's been an hour
@gjkdshgkjshjkgdfg thanks buddy!
Good.Have more fever dreams
I know this song is likely about Mantises sayin gay rights but it actually reminds me of an abusive relationship
God, this is really good. 👍🏻
I'm saving this for inspiration... I hope I can make similar stuff one day.
