“Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche
Ah yes the abyss such a dark and empty place only the most broken people visit this place such a lovely place such a lovely place were the people who have suffered so much from a world they didn't ask to be born in can belong and find purpose a crow once said to the cat you won't feast on my kind forever the cat said why is that the crow said follow me and I will show you the trees grew dead the grass gone the sky turned black the cat said I want to go back turn around and go said the crow the cat turned but the trail was gone he turned back what have you done said cat the crow said though you may see well in the dark and move like a ghost stalking your prey I never had to for as you look into my eyes you may see that the abyss lives in me and for this reason it is you who I will feast upon
@@neilhamilton4511 There was a time when all was thus, you'd think such a place devoid of all things...emptiness ought not to bring pleasure, seemingly nothing to do - nothing to ponder, nothing. But it brings a peace a true peace that one cannot even imagine and you are completely aware not lessened by it at all, wonder it for all eternity in complete peace without want of anything, yet whole. Unfortunately all it takes is one to spot a tiny little star upon the canvas, no bigger than a grain of sand, the deepest void cannot hide it, once seen it cannot be unseen and you cannot help but look at it, focus on it and therefore be drawn to it, how does something so small capture one's attention so, funny. You see the abyss is not someplace people visit once they are broken by suffering or by being born when they never asked for it, they are broken because they left the abyss. No matter what, you can never go back, not once you see the light, fight or cry all one wishes there is no road that leads home I guess we just carry it in ourselves, hence the loneliness since you can almost feel at home then, but it's hollow - ironic having a feeling more empty than the void itself (for one brings peace the other an eternal torment a reminder of things lost and deemed irrecoverable).
After consistently getting low Nielsen ratings and being put in “death” slot times, Hannibal is finally getting the recognition is deserves on Netflix. Like Community, it proved that Nielsen ratings were completely inaccurate in reflecting the amount of viewer interest. So welcome new Fannibals. We’re so happy to have you. #Hannibalseason4
Hannibal always reminded my of L’s speech. It is crazy mang “The world is full of monsters. Monsters who hide themselves and who cause trouble, monsters who steal children, monsters that devour dreams, monsters who suck blood, and monsters who always tell lies. Lying monsters are a real nuisance they are much more cunning than other monsters. They pose as humans even though they have no understanding of the human heart, they study even though they have no interest in academics, they eat even though they’ve never experienced hunger, the seek friendship even though they do not know how to love.”
I'm me - whatever else to anywho - who gives a shit - just bark at the moon. th-cam.com/video/F89-MOy7Xfg/w-d-xo.html "Kill a few people, they call you a murderer. Kill a million and you're a conqueror." - Eric Qualen
I will never get enough of this show. They took love, acceptence, forgiveness, soulmate, being your true self to another level. This show realy make me question my view on what is beautiful? and what is a humain ? What is love ? What is a monster ? I think we are all monsters in Ours ways. This show is the best interprétation of the books and movies.
the only diffrence is we are all monsters but some people dont know it and they are by far the most dangerous because they dont know what they are capable off and belive me that is 10× more dangerous than a person that does know what they are capable off
I think the whole Hannibal thing is amazing and brilliant. I haven't seen such an twisted and wicked story since Hannibal...and don't forget the actors Madds Mikkelsen...I don't find words how incredible was he . And Hugh Dancy... everyone loved him but fear him too. And the staff did amazing work too. This series go trought your body and stuck in your brain for a lifetime.
Lyrics! I’ve always been a hunter nothing on my tail But there was something in you I knew could make that change To capture a predator You can’t remain the prey You have to become An equal In every way So look in the mirror and tell me, who do you see? Is it still you? or is it me? Become the beast We don’t have to hide Do I terrify you Or do you feel alive? Do you feel the hunger Does it howl inside? Does it terrify you? or do you feel alive? Splinters of my soul Cut through your skin And burrow within Burrow within So embrace the darkness And I will help you see That you can be limitless And fearless If you follow with me We are the lions In a world of lambs We are the predators, The hunters, The hunters, The hunters Become the beast We don’t have to hide Do I terrify you Or do you feel alive? Do you feel the hunger Does it howl inside? Does it terrify you? Or do you feel alive? Splinters of my soul Cut through your skin And burrow within Burrow within
This is super long and so much after the show that it's really irrelevant but gosh this show is beautiful. I watched a review of this show, and the girl put it together perfectly -"It's about a love story between two men, their relationship and how everything around them is influenced because of their game of cat-and-mouse". The first season illustrates the fall of Will Graham into Hannibal's trap, a game of prey and predator, while he tries to differentiate between fiction and reality. Will falls for Hannibal's charm, as does everyone around him, and during this, Hannibal isn't obsessed with Will, he's merely curious, slightly entertained, as a bored man without understanding or company may play around with ants on the floor. Hannibal gets Will locked up, then he realises the potential of WIll- that they could learn to understand each other The first half of the second season is about Will learning, plotting, growing closer and closer to Hannibal, even though he may not have realised it, learning to think like Hannibal, act like him, understand him- become him in order to capture him. He goes from a quick-tempered near-mad man (an image of Garrett Jacob Hobbs, in a way) and morphs into the cold and calculating Hannibal, who sees everyone as pigs and him as the only predator. But it is human nature to bond with others like you, especially when you are alone. Bedelia is half a predator, but she doesn't amuse Hannibal the way Will does, and like a bored man starved of company, he gravitates to Will, bonding with him and forming this reliance on him that most would simply call "love" or "obsession". It's borderline reciprocated, as seen from Will phoning Hannibal to warn him. He has grown to be amused by Hannibal as well, as it isn't really "love' per say, but its something. Hannibal stabbing Will is a metaphor of cutting himself, his personality out of Will, and it hurts Hannibal as much as he hurts Will. Think about it- he's leaving the only person in the entire world he thinks is interesting behind, possibly destroying him. The third season starts with Will not wanting to take revenge at all, only telling Hannibal he forgives him, in other words he understands him, and why he did what he did. That is the very definition of a soul-bond/love- to understand and accept the other person unconditionally. Hannibal sends Will the broken man in the shape of a heart- he's passionate about Will, not sexually not physically but purely emotionally. He misses having someone on his caliber around, and honestly, Will is too. Will is juxtaposed by Alana- whereas Will is understanding and forgiving, she is ruthless, keen to put Hannibal behind bars. Hannibal starts to believe that this is the only part of Will that is left- under normal circumstances I believe he would've realise, but with his yearning for understanding, I think he overlooked that Will still has himself inside, so he turns against Hannibal, and gets him locked up by utilising the same yearning. Second half. During these episodes, Hannibal had already been extremely obsessed with Will from the past seasons, but now he is not only obsessed but also absolutely in love with the idea of him. There isn't any concrete evidence, but think of how he acts when he sees Will again. Will got him into prison, yet he is everything but angry at Will. IT has gotten to a point where he'd rather be dead than be in a world without Will. You may argue he is not, persay, in love with Will, but he is definitely in love with the idea of someone understanding him, and that person happens to be Will. This half is a mirror of the first half- Will realises that a part of him is still Hannibal, and this part grows to a point where he finally, on the cliff scene, understands that he'd rather die than be in a world without Hannibal. But his rational side knows that with Hannibal in the world, he'd never find peace. He left for three years, and it took him a week to fall back into Hannibal's personality. This is where he starts to yearn and ache of Hannibal- someone who understands him. Someone he is passionate and cares deeply enough. I'll use a very common counterargument when people discuss gay tv couples. If Will were female, would Hannibal be in a romantic relationship with them? Answer is, no, not in this show. She and Hannibal would be in the exact same position Will and Hannibal are in. I'd understand it if you didn't want to call this relationship of acceptance, understanding and forgiveness between two men who are barely capable of such emotions anymore "Love". But if you are strongly against it because of the sexual undertones that the word Love often accompanies, you don't understand the writer's implication. Will and Hannibal are not "bros"- they aren't comrades, they're not really 'husbands', who counter each other's weaknesses and strengths and with an unconditional love. Their's is the love of the two last people on the planet, and how the only person they will ever have an emotional relationship with is with each other. (fyck that was LONG)
Italia Rose I love this analysis and I have to agree with it absolutely. I believe it is a love story between them, a very dark one but a love story none the less. 🖤
Actually Will didn´t put Hannibal in prison, Hannibal turned himself in. But, IMO, if Will´s carácter was female instead of male I do think that there would be a strong chance that a romantic relationship could form (It happened in the books with Clarice). That being said, I do not think they are gay. The last sentence is a great way to describe their type of love.
I agree with absolutely everything except for the end. Interestingly enough, the offical wiki lists them as love interests between eachother, and the actors and directorshave said they fully support them having a romantic relationship and have fed that fire for a while However, you word everything absolutely perfectly
"No one can be fully aware of another human being unless we love them. By that love, we see potential in our beloved. Through that love, we allow our beloved to see their potential. Expressing that love, our beloved's potential comes true."
"To capture a predator You can’t remain the prey You have to become An equal In every way" omg this explains Hannibal and Will perfectly. How he changed himself and turned himself into a killer in season 2 to catch Hannibal
I never realized this was a Hannibal song for all the years I’ve listened to it, I’ve only realized after I finally watched Hannibal and became a Fannibal
Hannibal is one of the most aesthetically pleasing show. Its beautiful, it shows how humans truly are. Its one of those shows you cant help but love. Its amazingly beautiful. And this song is perfect for Hannibal and Will, its also connectable for the listener.
Six years later - someone asks if you have found a word/string of words for your feeling? Or maybe it's all a first for everyone but nothing is new under the sun? I do appreciate your expression - and I do appreciate that either ancient words need to be dug up from the past and re-discovered - or in very rare cases new words need to be formed. But what is the value of a word without the experience? :) "I don't think the words expressing my feelings right now has been invented yet" I feel more people need to find reason to say this - and humanity will evolve together. Stay great! PS. Here's an expressive word that can have broad and ambigious meaning but still convey a message: th-cam.com/video/QIppGLul3Fk/w-d-xo.html Enjoy! :)
Pati it’s more obvious from Hannibal’s perspective, but when you think about it, it could also be Will’s. Hannibal brought Will into his own strength, and Will instilled Hannibal with a weakness.
This show is truly amazing. It started out with a man who didn't know who he was, truly. It ended with a man who knew exactly what he was and found the beauty in it. The arc of Will Graham was thrilling, how we could watch him change from the man running away to the man who embraced it. There are no other shows out there like this, not through its few seasons. This show is unique and wonderful.
you're telling me I've been listening to this for ages, thinking "wow, this song makes for a good will graham vibe", completely unaware that it actually IS? oh my god
Wow, just wow.. It's breathless... I just love how this song describes the relationship between Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter, which is very complex. The sentence "Does it terrify you or do you feel alive ?" is perfectly the spirit of NBC's Hannibal. Everything is perfect, the melody is haunting, the lyrics amazing and your voice is fabulous ! this song is literally one of my favorite ! Wonderful job Karliene !
I'm so thrilled you like it and thank you for the great feedback. I really, really challenged myself when writing this as Hannibal is so amazingly complex. He has this kind of fallen angel thing about him, evil and beautiful, it's so compelling but challenging to write about. I'm so happy you like what I did with it! Thank you. x
I think I love your reply to this comment as much as I loved your singing. I love that you've put so much thought into making the whole song capture the spirit of Hannibal so well, and the brilliant way in which you've done justice to the character. Your voice is beautiful.
I always imagined this song as lecters love song to Clarice, the woman whom he chopped his own hand off instead of harming, the only one 2 hold his heart except his baby sister....
I love the echoing that occurs throughout the last half, almost as though Will is mirroring Hannibal, slowly, and with increased passion, similarly to how their relationship unfolds I love it so much :)
"Splinters of your soul cut through your skin and burrow within "........gave me Harry Potter and Tom Riddle feels. This song though.... It's so amazing? It captures Will and Hannibal perfectly? Like especially that line " we're the lions in a world full of lambs " .... Wow... No words. And " do you feel the hunger " amazing line... This song is magnificent. I thank the gods for stumbling onto it . Much love
There are no words that can fully define Hannibal and Will's relationship, it's a bit of everything: it's loving, it's affectionate, it's luxurious, it's beautiful, it's obsessive, it's dangerous, it's toxic, it's visceral, it's powerful, it's strong and so on, this series is a work of art, regardless of what it is, these two are one of the greatest duos in the history of TV, whether they're a couple, separated, enemies, or allies.
hannibal is the most grotseque series i've ever seen...but at the same time it's absolutely genius and i loved watching it. with a little few exceptions these roles were perfectly casted. i love mads mikkelsens dynamic...he's such a great actor. and hugh dancy...and lawrence fishburne...and gillian anderson...and michael pitt...and..and..and.
I think this song is beautiful not only because of your talented voice and the music composition but also due the meaning in the lyrics. It portraits with acurate presicion the dynamics between Hannibal and Will (actually, you can either think this is addressed to one from the other or viceversa) and summarizes many of the metaphors in the show. Congratulations.
Your song about the relationship between Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter is so damn beautiful, please tell me that you send this to Bryan Fuller and Martha De Laurentiis I'm sure they would fall in love with this song, you capture so well the history of this two, and your voice is amazing. I discover you because I'm a fannibal and now I must tell that your song are great ^^ !
Dear oh dear, what was it? The hunt, the blood, or the horrible dream? Oh, it doesn't matter. It always comes down to the hunters helper to clean up after these sorts of messes...
To defeat a monster, you must be willing to throw aside your humanity and all that makes you human A person who can't sacrifice anything, can't change anything
@@tobiassawyer4204 its all about how u justify it to yourself thats the single most imprtaint part if u can justify it then u can do it and live with that decision if u cant justify it and do it anyway u will only regret it u have to get right with yourself and feal that shit in your bones and u answerd your own question in the end but we are not at the end yet are we??? still plenty off time to change
Never liked that edgy quote, Is very wrong. I believe Only true humans can defeat monsters. you don't have to throw away everything you are to change the world.
@@luisalonso959 I agreed with you. Then I thought of the Ukrainian civilians who offered Russian soldiers poisoned food. Desperation can lead to unusual behaviour I guess.
Just started watching Hannibal and this song is very accurate. I could actually see Will looking into a mirror only to see Hannibal’s face and not his own.
Was looking for this comment and the Headhunterz Remix is fucking insane!! The vocals together with the melody is just insane. I hope it will get a official release🙏
Oh my God. I was just listening to this song on Spotify and felt so understood because it made me feel so connected to Hannibal and Will. I can't believe that the song is actually about them. I think I'm crying. You are awesome.
"So look in the mirror and tell me, who do you see? Is it still you or is it me?" When people ask why I ship Hannigram, I tell them, "Because they're one." Because becoming one is what love is.
One we are - most know this in the beginning and at the end. The few who stay true inbetween as well - are a few and all with their reason not to dwell. Enjoy what you can't change - lead the way. th-cam.com/video/2oANV6SQhwI/w-d-xo.html All the best - divine thing you! :)
I'd say love is the opposite of becoming one it's doing whatever you can to keep each other in your separate worlds pursuing your own goals without sacrificing yourself if you ever lose yourself it becomes twisted and fetishized love is a dance not a march
Give headhunterz the rights he needs to release his remix of this song its a banger it's 1 is the best remixes he ever made and he is one of the 3 legends is the hardstyle scene you should feel honored not decline him
Will and Hannibal's relationship was homoerotic and deep. Their minds were fused in an intense connection. They made the choice that they wouldn't be able to live without eachother and surviving separation was almost impossible. Will made Hannibal feel a way he has never felt before, an intense, stabbing love and lust for someone. They lusted each others company and affection, even killing people just to be near each other. Although their love was toxic, they deserved and were ultimately made to be with each other. They were soulmates.
Why's it gotta be sexual though? I haven't finished season 3, so I dunno if they've kissed in this show or shown physical affection but, people can love each other without any sexual attraction. Sex doesn't = love.
@@LoverOfManTits that would be a sensible conclusion to come to expect for the fact that there are different types of love. for whatever reason though people seem to just Identify with one. I would've originally blamed media until I noticed that people love to smear their fantasies over these types of things regardless of whether or not It was present or not.
I really like how the series kinda made hannibal a grimm's fairy tail sort of villain. As in he's elegant, has tones of gothic horror around him (obvious comparison being a vampire but i won't start that rant) and the series constantly features forests and snowy areas. Had this been set in the 1800's Hannibal would be made into a folkloric story immediately.

This is beyond perfect! It matches so much with them, and the lyrics are to cry for. I can't stop listening to it, especially the extended version
I adore this song so much. Seriously, the lyrics and eerie tone to the music, plus your stunning voice with that Kate Bush-esque lilt. The way these lyrics encompass the feel of the Hannibal series, particularly the Adapt, Evolve and Become theme to Hannibal and Will's relationship - plus I really like how this seems to be Hannibal's song. Just, its so beautiful - you've gained another avid fan Karliene, I'm so in love with this song and your voice!
+Karliene I really want to be making my own music but I just don't know how to start. I can come up with lyrics im happy with but never find any instrumental background that fits. I can play violin but not any other instrument. I sit for hours trying to find the right cords on the guittar or piano. How did you begin making music? (If you don't mind me asking)
omg...this song is just perfect!!! it awakens a storm of emotions in me, the only thing i can say while listening is WOW... the lyrics are SOOO great, it feels like you touch something very intimate and dark. so many emotions and so much sense
I never really liked fanworks, they never seemed to appealing. But, your voice has something that captivated me. I felt trapped and I can't stop listening. The lyrics are amazing, the song in its all, it's perfect. Hope it appears on season 4. Amazing work!
I know I'm VERY late to the party, but this is a stunningly sublime song... I was breathless after listening to it afterwards. The songwriting, the composition and haunting vocals are priceless. 1000% better than any song I've heard in the charts in recent years. How are you not a world renowned musician yet? Madness.
absolutely stunning, amazing job. really got me with the line - "Look into the mirror, tell me who you see, do you still see yourself... or do you see me?"
oh my god , this is most definitely the most brilliant thing i've ever heard . this show inspires so much amazing art , but you are so talented ! the lyrics and the music !!! it all suits so well . i want them to feature this song in 4th season , whenever it comes out . it's truly breathtaking and very suitable !
"To capture a predator You can't remain the prey You have to become An equal In every way" Just when Will says "It's beautiful" he is no longer the prey but becomes the equal and is able to capture the predator by falling with with Hannibal from the cliff. This song is amazing and I could analyse every word you chose for it. It's so fitting and intense!
This song is more beautiful than I can begin to describe, perfect for the fandom and rousing for the lions among the lambs. Karliene, your voice is simply inspiring!
Okay it's been a few years and I need to say it: the line "we are the lions in a world of lambs" gives me CHILLS. Now, idk if that was an intentional reference to Silence of The Lambs or not but either way I consider it just that. ❤ this remains my favorite detail.
This is such an amazing, moving song. It not only captures the aspects of Hannibal that were so powerful, but it stands on its own as a powerful, soul touching piece
Same I was expecting the 15-year-old-with-ukulele-fansong stuff and was completley stunned. Such a great song. I play it for non-hannibal people and they love it too
+shaun Wheeler idiots are people to, everyone has story behind themselves, the path that make them what they are today, maybe you should have done it, if the reasons was actually other people (idiots how you call them)
''Do I terrify you... Or do you feel alive ?'' Woaw. It can resume all the serie. I love your song. I listened to. This is : WOAW. Now it's m'y favourite song. I was searching a song about ''Hannibal''. And this one... Is perfect. It could be beautiful after the ending of Hannibal. I dont know what is the name, it's after the end of an episode, there are all names of the persons who helped producing the episode. You know what I mean ? :) I think it would be beautiful, and sad... But perfect. Yes ! Sad, that's what I mean. Your song ! We can see through it (is through the good word?) all the madness, sadness, all the beauty of Hannibal. Just to say that I loved it. Good job. Good voice. Good fandom. Amazing song. ;). Keep continue singing :). (Sorry if my english is bad, I'm french and I don't know a lot of english words)
Très bien expliqué!! D'ailleurs, hormis cette chanson, en connaitrais tu d'autres ? Pas forcément qui visent directement Hannibal mais qui décriraient une romance aussi... sombre, passionnelle....?
nolwenn moi aussi je recherche des choses dans ce genre. Enfin, c'est compliqué, mais en gros, plus c'est tordu, plus j'aime x) (ce qui explique pourquoi Hannibal est une de mes séries préférées. Psychologie, sentimebts sombres.... Hell yeah.)
I found this on Apple Music, and since I’m a writer, I like to pair up songs with the characters in my stories. I found that it wasn’t working, then I thought, “this works really well with Hannibal.” Hours Later: “Oh, this _is_ a Hannibal song.” You did amazingly on the lyrics and the sound of the music, because I thought this was a Hannibal song before I knew it was a Hannibal song.
I love and appreciate the work you do! I just wanted to point out that this song is so much more universal than it might seem here since it is directly connected to the series. I am not sure whether you intended it to be that way, but I have never seen the series, however, when I heard the song I related it to a dangerous kind of love, the deepest kind which almost leaves you wondering whether you are still you or just the reflection of the person you love and their expectations of you. The line Does it terrify you...or do you feel alive? must resonate with those who have felt it and given into it. Becoming the beast and feeling the hunger is a perfect metaphor for the passion that follows this kind of love. A really powerful piece!
I love this insight into my song. I've always found it incredible how songs can take on so many different meanings and lives beyond the writer/composer. It's why I love music so much. It's ever evolving and changing through the ears of it's listeners. It's truly magical.
I've always been a hunter Nothing on my tail But there was something in you I knew could make that change To capture a predator You can't remain the prey You have to become An equal In every way So look in the mirror And tell me, who do you see? Is it still you? Or is it me? Become the beast We don't have to hide Do I terrify you Or do you feel alive? Do you feel the hunger Does it howl inside? Does it terrify you? Or do you feel alive? Splinters of my soul Cut through your skin And burrow within And burrow within Splinters of my soul Cut through your skin And burrow within And burrow within So embrace the darkness And I will help you see That you can be limitless And fearless If you follow me We are the lions In a world of lambs We are the predators The hunters The hunters The hunters Become the beast We don't have to hide Do I terrify you? Or do you feel alive? Do you feel the hunger Does it howl inside? Does it terrify you? Or do you feel alive? Splinters of my soul Cut through your skin And burrow within And burrow within Splinters of my soul Cut through your skin And burrow within And burrow within Splinters of my soul Cut through your skin And burrow within And burrow within Splinters of my soul Cut through your skin And burrow within And burrow within Do you feel the hunger Does it howl inside? Does it terrify you? Or do you feel alive? (Omg this song is incredible.. qwq)
Bryan Fuller describes Hannibal and Will’s relationship being viable because, if you imagine that Hannibal is the greatest chess player on earth, he can beat everyone hands down and with no effort whatsoever. Imagine if you’d spent 30 years being that person with the belief that you’ll always be alone, and simply amusing yourself by coming up with ever more intricate and out there ways to beat everyone at chess (murdering people and eating them.) Then all of sudden you meet someone who can play the game just as well as you can (season 1 Will); who might even beat you (season 2 Will) and who would give you reason to give up the game to take on the rest of the world together (season 3 Will.) Hannibal never desires to kill Will (otherwise he’d be dead) because Will intrigues him so much and he doesn’t want to lose that. Will desires to kill Hannibal on a number of occasions, at the end of Season 1 in the Hobbs kitchen, in the middle of Season 2 when he sends Matt to kill Hannibal, in the middle of Season 3 when he attemps to stab Hannibal at the Uffizi. To put it simply, they get over this. They don’t exist in a permanent state of desiring to kill each other, it fluctuates, and really it’s not the most important thing about their relationship (unbelievably!) With regards to why people ship it, their relationship is powerful, interesting, unusual, intricate, well written and performed, the actors are attractive, complement each other and their conversation is natural to write. Also in the show it is acknowledged that there is a love between them, and I believe as the show continues, it will become more overt. It’s not for everyone, in the same way that Hannibal isn’t for everyone for one reason or another. But Hannibal and Will quench the shaking ache of loneliness in each other, and that resonates with a lot of people. I hope I’ve managed to explain why they’re drawn to each other in the way that they are. You don’t have to ship it though! Enjoy the elements of the show you enjoy and post about those, and then other people can do the same. As a fannibal, you aren’t expected to enjoy Hannigram, so I wouldn’t worry about that. ^_^ credit: idontfindyouthatinteresting.co.uk/post/169200797290/hey-hope-i-dont-bother-you-but-i-just-finished
I don't think Hannibal and Will are gay, I think they had something much deeper. They loved each other, but with their minds, not their bodies. They were so fused that they couldn't live without each other. He had messed up Will, and Will was the first to tap into him in a way he couldn't explain. Will made him think about things, and Hannibal made Will let go. They were in love, but not with each other, with the idea of each other.
+fbiuzz It makes sense. They both need each other, whether they admit it or not. They constantly are thinking of each other. Even after what he did to Abigail, he still needs Hannibal. Will did admit that he was extremely tempted run away with them. I strongly believe that if Hannibal wouldn't have killed her, Will would have left with them. Ever since the beginning Hannibal took quite an interest in Will and he felt deeply betrayed towards the end. In my opinion it may be love, but not the romantic kind.
You explainded it all, how can you say it isn't a real love ( not the romantic kind ) ? They need each other, Bedelia did say that Hannibal was in love and asked Will if he felt the same and he didn't respond at the time. That explained how confused Will was about his own feelings. And for Hannibal, he loved Will so much ( actually, we can see it in other ways too but...I like to see it in that way ) that he let himself be arrested to let Will know where to search him if needed. And we all know how the serie ends...He wouldn't have done that if that was just a platonic interest.
i used to feel like this song was missing something like it just stays in one steady pace instead of picking up...nothing to make it catchy i guess. but, now i can appreciate it as more of a theme, something that plays during opening credits or a menu screen (Hannibal video game anyone?). either way it's a beautiful tribute to a beautiful show and i keep coming back!

You see the abyss is not someplace people visit once they are broken by suffering or by being born when they never asked for it, they are broken because they left the abyss. No matter what, you can never go back, not once you see the light, fight or cry all one wishes there is no road that leads home I guess we just carry it in ourselves, hence the loneliness since you can almost feel at home then, but it's hollow - ironic having a feeling more empty than the void itself (for one brings peace the other an eternal torment a reminder of things lost and deemed irrecoverable).
“Do I terrify you? Or do you feel alive?”
This lyrics cuts deep inside. The whole song is song haunting I love it.
No witch 😐
Absolutely
My favorit line
This is probably the best and most amazing show that nobody talks about .
Maybe it's better... Let's keep it as our beautiful mystery 🖤
What his name?
Hushh....keep the circle of US small...
I agree, but Kings is even more amazing and even less talked about and sadly died after one season because nobody heard of it.
It’s now on Netflix though so maybe more people will get into it!
After consistently getting low Nielsen ratings and being put in “death” slot times, Hannibal is finally getting the recognition is deserves on Netflix. Like Community, it proved that Nielsen ratings were completely inaccurate in reflecting the amount of viewer interest.
So welcome new Fannibals. We’re so happy to have you. #Hannibalseason4
Only reason I decided to watch was literally this song and now I'm completely addicted
Thanks I'll learn to enjoy
We don't have Hannibal in Netflix here, damn it. I'm stuck with Dailymotion D:
Making a fourth season would be a mistake, a terrible mistake.
I am willing to pay to see it happen.
Hannibal always reminded my of L’s speech. It is crazy mang
“The world is full of monsters. Monsters who hide themselves and who cause trouble, monsters who steal children, monsters that devour dreams, monsters who suck blood, and monsters who always tell lies. Lying monsters are a real nuisance they are much more cunning than other monsters. They pose as humans even though they have no understanding of the human heart, they study even though they have no interest in academics, they eat even though they’ve never experienced hunger, the seek friendship even though they do not know how to love.”
Frogwell L 😭😭
If i were to encounter such a monster, i would likely be eaten by it. Because in truth, I am that monster
I'm me - whatever else to anywho - who gives a shit - just bark at the moon.

"Kill a few people, they call you a murderer. Kill a million and you're a conqueror." - Eric Qualen
Or, as Hannibal's psychiatrist said about him , they wear a "Human suit".
I would say this speech was very much inspired by Osamu Dazai's _No Longer Human_
I’m just gonna have to face that nobody makes tv shows like this anymore and it hurts tbh

We are nothing if not persistent
Praying for that

Same here!! 😭
Idc if they're old men, they better make season 4 lol
2024 and this song's still a hit! I always listen to it several times in a row. Your music is so criminally underrated it's not even funny!!
I will never get enough of this show.
They took love, acceptence, forgiveness, soulmate, being your true self to another level.
This show realy make me question my view on what is beautiful? and what is a humain ? What is love ? What is a monster ?
I think we are all monsters in Ours ways.
This show is the best interprétation of the books and movies.
the only diffrence is we are all monsters but some people dont know it and they are by far the most dangerous because they dont know what they are capable off and belive me that is 10× more dangerous than a person that does know what they are capable off

I think the whole Hannibal thing is amazing and brilliant. I haven't seen such an twisted and wicked story since Hannibal...and don't forget the actors
Madds Mikkelsen...I don't find words how incredible was he .
And Hugh Dancy... everyone loved him but fear him too.
And the staff did amazing work too.
This series go trought your body and stuck in your brain for a lifetime.
And thats d why madeline mcain is been kidnapped...
I will NEVER forgive NBC for cancelling Season 4.🤬

Lyrics!
I’ve always been a hunter
nothing on my tail
But there was something in you
I knew
could make that change
To capture a predator
You can’t remain the prey
You have to become
An equal
In every way
So look in the mirror
and tell me, who do you see?
Is it still you?
or is it me?
Become the beast
We don’t have to hide
Do I terrify you
Or do you feel alive?
Do you feel the hunger
Does it howl inside?
Does it terrify you?
or do you feel alive?
Splinters of my soul
Cut through your skin
And burrow within
Burrow within
So embrace the darkness
And I will help you see
That you can be limitless
And fearless
If you follow with me
We are the lions
In a world of lambs
We are the predators,
The hunters,
The hunters,
The hunters
Become the beast
We don’t have to hide
Do I terrify you
Or do you feel alive?
Do you feel the hunger
Does it howl inside?
Does it terrify you?
Or do you feel alive?
Splinters of my soul
Cut through your skin
And burrow within
Burrow within
thank you :)) I had surched a long time a comment with lyrics^^
Thank you.

Do you feel alive"

This is super long and so much after the show that it's really irrelevant but gosh this show is beautiful. I watched a review of this show, and the girl put it together perfectly -"It's about a love story between two men, their relationship and how everything around them is influenced because of their game of cat-and-mouse".
The first season illustrates the fall of Will Graham into Hannibal's trap, a game of prey and predator, while he tries to differentiate between fiction and reality. Will falls for Hannibal's charm, as does everyone around him, and during this, Hannibal isn't obsessed with Will, he's merely curious, slightly entertained, as a bored man without understanding or company may play around with ants on the floor. Hannibal gets Will locked up, then he realises the potential of WIll- that they could learn to understand each other
The first half of the second season is about Will learning, plotting, growing closer and closer to Hannibal, even though he may not have realised it, learning to think like Hannibal, act like him, understand him- become him in order to capture him. He goes from a quick-tempered near-mad man (an image of Garrett Jacob Hobbs, in a way) and morphs into the cold and calculating Hannibal, who sees everyone as pigs and him as the only predator. But it is human nature to bond with others like you, especially when you are alone. Bedelia is half a predator, but she doesn't amuse Hannibal the way Will does, and like a bored man starved of company, he gravitates to Will, bonding with him and forming this reliance on him that most would simply call "love" or "obsession". It's borderline reciprocated, as seen from Will phoning Hannibal to warn him. He has grown to be amused by Hannibal as well, as it isn't really "love' per say, but its something. Hannibal stabbing Will is a metaphor of cutting himself, his personality out of Will, and it hurts Hannibal as much as he hurts Will. Think about it- he's leaving the only person in the entire world he thinks is interesting behind, possibly destroying him.
The third season starts with Will not wanting to take revenge at all, only telling Hannibal he forgives him, in other words he understands him, and why he did what he did. That is the very definition of a soul-bond/love- to understand and accept the other person unconditionally. Hannibal sends Will the broken man in the shape of a heart- he's passionate about Will, not sexually not physically but purely emotionally. He misses having someone on his caliber around, and honestly, Will is too. Will is juxtaposed by Alana- whereas Will is understanding and forgiving, she is ruthless, keen to put Hannibal behind bars. Hannibal starts to believe that this is the only part of Will that is left- under normal circumstances I believe he would've realise, but with his yearning for understanding, I think he overlooked that Will still has himself inside, so he turns against Hannibal, and gets him locked up by utilising the same yearning.
Second half. During these episodes, Hannibal had already been extremely obsessed with Will from the past seasons, but now he is not only obsessed but also absolutely in love with the idea of him. There isn't any concrete evidence, but think of how he acts when he sees Will again. Will got him into prison, yet he is everything but angry at Will. IT has gotten to a point where he'd rather be dead than be in a world without Will. You may argue he is not, persay, in love with Will, but he is definitely in love with the idea of someone understanding him, and that person happens to be Will. This half is a mirror of the first half- Will realises that a part of him is still Hannibal, and this part grows to a point where he finally, on the cliff scene, understands that he'd rather die than be in a world without Hannibal. But his rational side knows that with Hannibal in the world, he'd never find peace. He left for three years, and it took him a week to fall back into Hannibal's personality. This is where he starts to yearn and ache of Hannibal- someone who understands him. Someone he is passionate and cares deeply enough.
I'll use a very common counterargument when people discuss gay tv couples. If Will were female, would Hannibal be in a romantic relationship with them? Answer is, no, not in this show. She and Hannibal would be in the exact same position Will and Hannibal are in.
I'd understand it if you didn't want to call this relationship of acceptance, understanding and forgiveness between two men who are barely capable of such emotions anymore "Love". But if you are strongly against it because of the sexual undertones that the word Love often accompanies, you don't understand the writer's implication. Will and Hannibal are not "bros"- they aren't comrades, they're not really 'husbands', who counter each other's weaknesses and strengths and with an unconditional love. Their's is the love of the two last people on the planet, and how the only person they will ever have an emotional relationship with is with each other.
(fyck that was LONG)
Italia Rose I love this analysis and I have to agree with it absolutely. I believe it is a love story between them, a very dark one but a love story none the less. 🖤
Italia Rose Read it all. Without a doubt best comment on this entire section. You have my thanks.
Actually Will didn´t put Hannibal in prison, Hannibal turned himself in. But, IMO, if Will´s carácter was female instead of male I do think that there would be a strong chance that a romantic relationship could form (It happened in the books with Clarice). That being said, I do not think they are gay. The last sentence is a great way to describe their type of love.
I agree with absolutely everything except for the end. Interestingly enough, the offical wiki lists them as love interests between eachother, and the actors and directorshave said they fully support them having a romantic relationship and have fed that fire for a while
However, you word everything absolutely perfectly
Italia Rose..by far the best analysis of the character arch in this show..
The best comment therefore..
Who's here in 2020? I love how epicly this song describes their relationship.
I love this song
Yes
I love the lyrics
Yes, still here! Still listening and thinking about the series. It's beautiful
I'm here
"No one can be fully aware of another human being unless we love them. By that love, we see potential in our beloved. Through that love, we allow our beloved to see their potential. Expressing that love, our beloved's potential comes true."
"We are the lions
In a world of lambs"
Woah, woah! That choice of words tho
Thank you. It's actually my favourite song I've ever written. I spent so long getting the lyrics right before I even touched the music side of it.
I can see that! It's a pure masterpiece
yeah such strong lyrics, actually one of my favourite songs (not just out of fansongs) just because of the lyrics
totally agree
but will is the lamb and hannibal accepts this and he says wrath of the lamb so hannibal doesn't underestimate lambs nice song btw
This song captures the relationship between Hannibal and Will perfectly.
So does it capture Eve and Villanelle's in killing Eve
No eve remains.
"To capture a predator
You can’t remain the prey
You have to become
An equal
In every way"
omg this explains Hannibal and Will perfectly. How he changed himself and turned himself into a killer in season 2 to catch Hannibal
Dig only shallow graves, so others know you where there.
Why signaling jamex shank... i hunt to. You know..
For those murderers
I never realized this was a Hannibal song for all the years I’ve listened to it, I’ve only realized after I finally watched Hannibal and became a Fannibal
yep ive become a fannibal too.
Hannibal is one of the most aesthetically pleasing show. Its beautiful, it shows how humans truly are. Its one of those shows you cant help but love. Its amazingly beautiful. And this song is perfect for Hannibal and Will, its also connectable for the listener.
Just finished the series. and found this by chance...I don't think the words expressing my feelings right now has been invented yet...
Crestoify Hannibal with mads is the real deal...
If after some time someone finds out that mads is really cannibal, i can believe it...
Crestoify isn't it just Hannibaltastic?😉 I'll go home now to my many dogs..😂
Six years later - someone asks if you have found a word/string of words for your feeling? Or maybe it's all a first for everyone but nothing is new under the sun?
I do appreciate your expression - and I do appreciate that either ancient words need to be dug up from the past and re-discovered - or in very rare cases new words need to be formed.
But what is the value of a word without the experience? :)
"I don't think the words expressing my feelings right now has been invented yet"
I feel more people need to find reason to say this - and humanity will evolve together.
Stay great!
PS. Here's an expressive word that can have broad and ambigious meaning but still convey a message:
th-cam.com/video/QIppGLul3Fk/w-d-xo.html
Enjoy! :)
best part is that it could be from either's point of view
I think it's more from Hannibal's point of view, although it does fit Graham.
Depends if you view it as the corruption/awakening of Will or the decadance/downfall of Hannibal
Pati it’s more obvious from Hannibal’s perspective, but when you think about it, it could also be Will’s. Hannibal brought Will into his own strength, and Will instilled Hannibal with a weakness.
This show is truly amazing. It started out with a man who didn't know who he was, truly. It ended with a man who knew exactly what he was and found the beauty in it. The arc of Will Graham was thrilling, how we could watch him change from the man running away to the man who embraced it. There are no other shows out there like this, not through its few seasons. This show is unique and wonderful.
you're telling me I've been listening to this for ages, thinking "wow, this song makes for a good will graham vibe", completely unaware that it actually IS? oh my god
just finished the series yesterday and I’m still dehydrated from crying so much. Thank you for this
I just finished it too! The ending killed me ❤😭
I just finished it. The finale has made me so weak
Wow, just wow.. It's breathless... I just love how this song describes the relationship between Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter, which is very complex. The sentence "Does it terrify you or do you feel alive ?" is perfectly the spirit of NBC's Hannibal. Everything is perfect, the melody is haunting, the lyrics amazing and your voice is fabulous !
this song is literally one of my favorite ! Wonderful job Karliene !
I'm so thrilled you like it and thank you for the great feedback. I really, really challenged myself when writing this as Hannibal is so amazingly complex. He has this kind of fallen angel thing about him, evil and beautiful, it's so compelling but challenging to write about. I'm so happy you like what I did with it! Thank you. x
I think I love your reply to this comment as much as I loved your singing. I love that you've put so much thought into making the whole song capture the spirit of Hannibal so well, and the brilliant way in which you've done justice to the character. Your voice is beautiful.
I always imagined this song as lecters love song to Clarice, the woman whom he chopped his own hand off instead of harming, the only one 2 hold his heart except his baby sister....
It's been almost 5 years since I've first watched this show and it still remains my favourite show ever. Nothing can top a masterpiece like this one.
I agree !! >___
I love the echoing that occurs throughout the last half, almost as though Will is mirroring Hannibal, slowly, and with increased passion, similarly to how their relationship unfolds
I love it so much :)
"....So embrace the darkness
And i will help you see
That you can be limitless
And fearless
If you follow me... "
This song is singlehandedly responsible for me binge watching the entirety of the show. I loved it. Both the song and the show.

I'd say this captures Will and Hannibal's relationship perfectly

i get chills at "Do I terrify you
, Or do you feel alive?" everytime
There are no words that can fully define Hannibal and Will's relationship, it's a bit of everything: it's loving, it's affectionate, it's luxurious, it's beautiful, it's obsessive, it's dangerous, it's toxic, it's visceral, it's powerful, it's strong and so on, this series is a work of art, regardless of what it is, these two are one of the greatest duos in the history of TV, whether they're a couple, separated, enemies, or allies.
hannibal is the most grotseque series i've ever seen...but at the same time it's absolutely genius and i loved watching it. with a little few exceptions these roles were perfectly casted. i love mads mikkelsens dynamic...he's such a great actor. and hugh dancy...and lawrence fishburne...and gillian anderson...and michael pitt...and..and..and.
I think this song is beautiful not only because of your talented voice and the music composition but also due the meaning in the lyrics. It portraits with acurate presicion the dynamics between Hannibal and Will (actually, you can either think this is addressed to one from the other or viceversa) and summarizes many of the metaphors in the show. Congratulations.
O
The only song that ever captured the essence of their relationship. And beautifully at that
It’s 2021 and I’m still nowhere near being over Hannibal. 💀
Your song about the relationship between Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter is so damn beautiful, please tell me that you send this to Bryan Fuller and Martha De Laurentiis I'm sure they would fall in love with this song, you capture so well the history of this two, and your voice is amazing.

@@luisalonso959 I agreed with you. Then I thought of the Ukrainian civilians who offered Russian soldiers poisoned food. Desperation can lead to unusual behaviour I guess.

Will and Hannibal's relationship was homoerotic and deep. Their minds were fused in an intense connection. They made the choice that they wouldn't be able to live without eachother and surviving separation was almost impossible. Will made Hannibal feel a way he has never felt before, an intense, stabbing love and lust for someone. They lusted each others company and affection, even killing people just to be near each other. Although their love was toxic, they deserved and were ultimately made to be with each other. They were soulmates.
Why's it gotta be sexual though? I haven't finished season 3, so I dunno if they've kissed in this show or shown physical affection but, people can love each other without any sexual attraction. Sex doesn't = love.
@@thesanfranciscoseahorse473 I'm guessing you're asexual
It was more of a platonic love.
@@LoverOfManTits that would be a sensible conclusion to come to expect for the fact that there are different types of love. for whatever reason though people seem to just Identify with one. I would've originally blamed media until I noticed that people love to smear their fantasies over these types of things regardless of whether or not It was present or not.
And sould souls...and murdered.
I really like how the series kinda made hannibal a grimm's fairy tail sort of villain. As in he's elegant, has tones of gothic horror around him (obvious comparison being a vampire but i won't start that rant) and the series constantly features forests and snowy areas. Had this been set in the 1800's Hannibal would be made into a folkloric story immediately.
This is beyond perfect! It matches so much with them, and the lyrics are to cry for. I can't stop listening to it, especially the extended version
"So look in the mirror and tell me, who do you see?
Is it still you? Or is it me?"
Perfection... pure perfection.
And btw I love your voice 👍
I adore this song so much. Seriously, the lyrics and eerie tone to the music, plus your stunning voice with that Kate Bush-esque lilt. The way these lyrics encompass the feel of the Hannibal series, particularly the Adapt, Evolve and Become theme to Hannibal and Will's relationship - plus I really like how this seems to be Hannibal's song. Just, its so beautiful - you've gained another avid fan Karliene, I'm so in love with this song and your voice!
I screamed when I saw this was on spotify
So glad you like it :-)
+Karliene I really want to be making my own music but I just don't know how to start. I can come up with lyrics im happy with but never find any instrumental background that fits. I can play violin but not any other instrument. I sit for hours trying to find the right cords on the guittar or piano. How did you begin making music? (If you don't mind me asking)
It's 2022. They made a new petition for season 4. We didn't lose our hope. And we're still here.
The Headhunterz Remix of this track is insane!!
omg...this song is just perfect!!! it awakens a storm of emotions in me, the only thing i can say while listening is WOW... the lyrics are SOOO great, it feels like you touch something very intimate and dark. so many emotions and so much sense
Haha, i got an ad for a cooking show

I never really liked fanworks, they never seemed to appealing. But, your voice has something that captivated me. I felt trapped and I can't stop listening. The lyrics are amazing, the song in its all, it's perfect. Hope it appears on season 4. Amazing work!
The remix Headhunterz made is so awesome 🧡
I know I'm VERY late to the party, but this is a stunningly sublime song... I was breathless after listening to it afterwards. The songwriting, the composition and haunting vocals are priceless. 1000% better than any song I've heard in the charts in recent years. How are you not a world renowned musician yet? Madness.
absolutely stunning, amazing job. really got me with the line -
"Look into the mirror, tell me who you see, do you still see yourself... or do you see me?"

I just finished watching hannibal AND OMG BEST SHOW EVER
Now that Hannibal is on Netflix, I'm finally getting to watch it, and boy can I not get this song out of my head as I do. Simply perfect!
also the haunting, even beating sound of musical instrument in the back... great job
"To capture a predator
You can't remain the prey
You have to become
An equal
In every way"
Just when Will says "It's beautiful" he is no longer the prey but becomes the equal and is able to capture the predator by falling with with Hannibal from the cliff.
This song is amazing and I could analyse every word you chose for it. It's so fitting and intense!
This song is more beautiful than I can begin to describe, perfect for the fandom and rousing for the lions among the lambs. Karliene, your voice is simply inspiring!
I JUST NOW REALISED THIS WAS A FAN SONG AND NOT JUST SOME ORIGINAL SONG UNRELATED TO ANYTHING????????
HELLO?? THIS IS EVEN BETTER NOW.

Okay it's been a few years and I need to say it: the line "we are the lions in a world of lambs" gives me CHILLS. Now, idk if that was an intentional reference to Silence of The Lambs or not but either way I consider it just that. ❤ this remains my favorite detail.
Here in 2022, still hoping for that 4th season. I’m not giving up. ❤️
This is such an amazing, moving song. It not only captures the aspects of Hannibal that were so powerful, but it stands on its own as a powerful, soul touching piece
Holy shit I wasn't expecting this.
Holy...
Let me sit back and just uhhh...
omg
same
Same I was expecting the 15-year-old-with-ukulele-fansong stuff and was completley stunned. Such a great song. I play it for non-hannibal people and they love it too
Thank you so much. I'm really thrilled you like it so much. x
+shaun Wheeler idiots are people to, everyone has story behind themselves, the path that make them what they are today, maybe you should have done it, if the reasons was actually other people (idiots how you call them)
Same
''Do I terrify you... Or do you feel alive ?'' Woaw. It can resume all the serie.
I love your song. I listened to. This is : WOAW.
Now it's m'y favourite song.
I was searching a song about ''Hannibal''.
And this one... Is perfect. It could be beautiful after the ending of Hannibal. I dont know what is the name, it's after the end of an episode, there are all names of the persons who helped producing the episode. You know what I mean ? :)
I think it would be beautiful, and sad... But perfect.
Yes ! Sad, that's what I mean.
Your song ! We can see through it (is through the good word?) all the madness, sadness, all the beauty of Hannibal.
Just to say that I loved it.
Good job. Good voice. Good fandom.
Amazing song. ;).
Keep continue singing :).
(Sorry if my english is bad, I'm french and I don't know a lot of english words)
Need this in Season 4 !!!!

Très bien expliqué!! D'ailleurs, hormis cette chanson, en connaitrais tu d'autres ? Pas forcément qui visent directement Hannibal mais qui décriraient une romance aussi... sombre, passionnelle....?
nolwenn moi aussi je recherche des choses dans ce genre. Enfin, c'est compliqué, mais en gros, plus c'est tordu, plus j'aime x) (ce qui explique pourquoi Hannibal est une de mes séries préférées. Psychologie, sentimebts sombres.... Hell yeah.)
5 top TV shows.
"Fate and circumstance have returned us to this moment. When the teacup shatters, I forgive you Will. Will you forgive me?"

I found this on Apple Music, and since I’m a writer, I like to pair up songs with the characters in my stories. I found that it wasn’t working, then I thought, “this works really well with Hannibal.”
Hours Later:
“Oh, this _is_ a Hannibal song.”
You did amazingly on the lyrics and the sound of the music, because I thought this was a Hannibal song before I knew it was a Hannibal song.
😂😂 literally same, but on Spotify!
my dance teacher is using this song for modern! i'm so excited to dance to it and i really like how serious it is with the lyrics
Any chance there's going to be footage? I would love to see choreography using this track and themes.
Very nice song.Cuts to the core...just like Hannibal.
I love and appreciate the work you do! I just wanted to point out that this song is so much more universal than it might seem here since it is directly connected to the series. I am not sure whether you intended it to be that way, but I have never seen the series, however, when I heard the song I related it to a dangerous kind of love, the deepest kind which almost leaves you wondering whether you are still you or just the reflection of the person you love and their expectations of you. The line Does it terrify you...or do you feel alive? must resonate with those who have felt it and given into it. Becoming the beast and feeling the hunger is a perfect metaphor for the passion that follows this kind of love. A really powerful piece!
I love this insight into my song. I've always found it incredible how songs can take on so many different meanings and lives beyond the writer/composer. It's why I love music so much. It's ever evolving and changing through the ears of it's listeners. It's truly magical.
I've always been a hunter
Nothing on my tail
But there was something in you
I knew could make that change
To capture a predator
You can't remain the prey
You have to become
An equal
In every way
So look in the mirror
And tell me, who do you see?
Is it still you?
Or is it me?
Become the beast
We don't have to hide
Do I terrify you
Or do you feel alive?
Do you feel the hunger
Does it howl inside?
Does it terrify you?
Or do you feel alive?
Splinters of my soul
Cut through your skin
And burrow within
And burrow within
Splinters of my soul
Cut through your skin
And burrow within
And burrow within
So embrace the darkness
And I will help you see
That you can be limitless
And fearless
If you follow me
We are the lions
In a world of lambs
We are the predators
The hunters
The hunters
The hunters
Become the beast
We don't have to hide
Do I terrify you?
Or do you feel alive?
Do you feel the hunger
Does it howl inside?
Does it terrify you?
Or do you feel alive?
Splinters of my soul
Cut through your skin
And burrow within
And burrow within
Splinters of my soul
Cut through your skin
And burrow within
And burrow within
Splinters of my soul
Cut through your skin
And burrow within
And burrow within
Splinters of my soul
Cut through your skin
And burrow within
And burrow within
Do you feel the hunger
Does it howl inside?
Does it terrify you?
Or do you feel alive?
(Omg this song is incredible.. qwq)
Bryan Fuller describes Hannibal and Will’s relationship being viable because, if you imagine that Hannibal is the greatest chess player on earth, he can beat everyone hands down and with no effort whatsoever. Imagine if you’d spent 30 years being that person with the belief that you’ll always be alone, and simply amusing yourself by coming up with ever more intricate and out there ways to beat everyone at chess (murdering people and eating them.) Then all of sudden you meet someone who can play the game just as well as you can (season 1 Will); who might even beat you (season 2 Will) and who would give you reason to give up the game to take on the rest of the world together (season 3 Will.)
Hannibal never desires to kill Will (otherwise he’d be dead) because Will intrigues him so much and he doesn’t want to lose that. Will desires to kill Hannibal on a number of occasions, at the end of Season 1 in the Hobbs kitchen, in the middle of Season 2 when he sends Matt to kill Hannibal, in the middle of Season 3 when he attemps to stab Hannibal at the Uffizi. To put it simply, they get over this. They don’t exist in a permanent state of desiring to kill each other, it fluctuates, and really it’s not the most important thing about their relationship (unbelievably!)
With regards to why people ship it, their relationship is powerful, interesting, unusual, intricate, well written and performed, the actors are attractive, complement each other and their conversation is natural to write. Also in the show it is acknowledged that there is a love between them, and I believe as the show continues, it will become more overt.
It’s not for everyone, in the same way that Hannibal isn’t for everyone for one reason or another. But Hannibal and Will quench the shaking ache of loneliness in each other, and that resonates with a lot of people.
I hope I’ve managed to explain why they’re drawn to each other in the way that they are. You don’t have to ship it though! Enjoy the elements of the show you enjoy and post about those, and then other people can do the same. As a fannibal, you aren’t expected to enjoy Hannigram, so I wouldn’t worry about that. ^_^

Well written.
Why kill the person who understands you :)
Stimulation - I'm your huckleberry ;)
I don't think Hannibal and Will are gay, I think they had something much deeper. They loved each other, but with their minds, not their bodies. They were so fused that they couldn't live without each other. He had messed up Will, and Will was the first to tap into him in a way he couldn't explain. Will made him think about things, and Hannibal made Will let go. They were in love, but not with each other, with the idea of each other.
So it's co-dependence disorder.
Bedelia said it herself, "Can't live with him. Can't live without him."
Hi Doctor Chilton
+fbiuzz It makes sense. They both need each other, whether they admit it or not. They constantly are thinking of each other. Even after what he did to Abigail, he still needs Hannibal. Will did admit that he was extremely tempted run away with them. I strongly believe that if Hannibal wouldn't have killed her, Will would have left with them. Ever since the beginning Hannibal took quite an interest in Will and he felt deeply betrayed towards the end. In my opinion it may be love, but not the romantic kind.
You explainded it all, how can you say it isn't a real love ( not the romantic kind ) ? They need each other, Bedelia did say that Hannibal was in love and asked Will if he felt the same and he didn't respond at the time. That explained how confused Will was about his own feelings. And for Hannibal, he loved Will so much ( actually, we can see it in other ways too but...I like to see it in that way ) that he let himself be arrested to let Will know where to search him if needed.
And we all know how the serie ends...He wouldn't have done that if that was just a platonic interest.
I think this is such a hauntingly beautiful song. Well done! :)
Why thank you Doctor Lecter!! lol
i used to feel like this song was missing something like it just stays in one steady pace instead of picking up...nothing to make it catchy i guess. but, now i can appreciate it as more of a theme, something that plays during opening credits or a menu screen (Hannibal video game anyone?).
either way it's a beautiful tribute to a beautiful show and i keep coming back!
Just finished season one but I've known this song for years. Within the first episode I fell in love. Planning on finishing it all this weekend 😌
the way i didn’t know this song was made as a fan song and not just a song that fits it so well
Your lyrics speak to me on a level that I never thought possible.
