To The Grotesque Legacy Of A Rat King [A song about "destiny", a promise, and my choice]
Can I be free of these strings. for like ONE DAY???
And yea no i WISH i was joking about the "destiny" bit. We BOTH foretold how this story would go since we met each other. Although - my Reflection's foresight was always clearer (and much further into the future) than my own.
Here's your evidence that I'm not Entirely Insane (yet):
My prophecies
- "Fire" (a poem I made in the mental hospital, like oct 2014): www.tumblr.com/deadratpoetry/105142158539/fire?source=share
- "Strings" (2014, around the same time): www.tumblr.com/deadratpoetry/105322700347/strings?source=share
My Reflection's prophecies
- "Mellifluous Vengeance" (apparently uploaded after Faceless, and deleted before/when Crazy Town came out, from what I gathered. Lyrics only, sorry): vocaloidlyrics.fandom.com/wiki/Mellifluous_Vengeance
- probably the "Cure" series (so Cure and The Problematic Crow's Reality. at this point you KNOW which one I am lmao)
Additionally, some Historically Accurate but WEIRD coincidences:
- Being a Filipino in the USA during 1950s-1960s: ua-cam.com/users/shortsdgXTO3EF-YI?feature=share
if I ever make it to the other side, I WILL kill whoever put us in these goddamned chains.
------
Also - I want to thank the people who knew about my story. Whether you used it as inspiration to make something new, or just discussed it with a private group of others.
To the people who fought beside me. Those who fought for the freedom to create.
To the people who saw my viewpoint - even if you sided with one or the other, or eventually didn't agree with either party, I HAVE to thank you for putting both parties into consideration.
Thank you for hearing my side. Thank you for believing in me - if you did. lol
Thank you for hiding my identity - I have FINALLY been able to come to my own conclusion (admittedly through a LOT OF YEARS) because of you all.
And at the end of the day - my decision remains the same.
In a world as constricting as the reality we live in - we ALL need a space where we can just, breathe. A place we can create stuff without needing it to be tied to our reality.
A place we can be free - even if just in the stories and songs that we create.
I'm not a martyr - and I'm not a revolutionary of any sort. I won't be ANYONE'S leader - cause that defeats the purpose of all this lmao
I believe that in the end - change will only begin with an individual person's actions.
Regardless of the end result - fight for what YOU believe to be right. Even if you lose the battle, your mistakes WILL make you stronger.
Although you may never be able to rectify the pains of your past - you can always CHOOSE to use what you have learned through it to make a better future. You can ALWAYS learn from your mistakes - and I believe that EVERYONE can grow from who they once were.
If you want something to happen - the best thing you can do is to take action.
Do that stupid, reckless shit. Even if pain follows after; as long as you can recognize it as your own mistake and understand HOW you feel about it and WHY it happened - you can choose to learn from every mistake that you make. And regrets will happen in life. There will be things you CAN'T take back. But you can learn from them; grow stronger and smarter, with every misstep.
Although you can never change COMPLETELY - I do believe that EVERYONE can choose to grow from who they once were.
And every step on a path that nobody has ever tread before will be daunting. Anything unknown will ALWAYS be terrifying, especially at first.
But who knows, you might be surprised at what you see when you look back on the path you tread - the legacy you've created.
:)

      @@EmbeddedSystems_Shius true tho not everyone in a psych ward wants to die (I'm sure that applies to some people tho), I've never been to a psych ward myself but I'm aware of the inhumaness because of the Internet (for example stories of being pinned down or receiving "booty juice", I don't remember the actual name for it but ik that it's when patients get a shot 💉 in their butt) but I have been threatened to be sent to one (by someone who would actually follow through on their threats, my mother) which I suppose is less worse than actually being sent to one (I'm sure it is), being sent to one has got to be way worse I'm sure of it, I'm just wondering if there is or could ever be an alternative option other than a psych ward (ig being sent to a hospital for mental reasons is the alternative even then some hospital are bad) anyways let me just end my rambling by saying that i agree with you and that i believe it should be 100% the individual's own choice as to whether or not if they want to seek medical intervention for mental health reasons (tho I understand in some extreme cases that wouldn't be in anyone's best interest hence the reason why involuntary hospitalization even exist in the first place but I personally don't believe most cases are extreme if anything that's rare)

    (edit) TLDR: The only reason why I won this one is because I trusted in the intelligence of my fellow man - to understand shit I didn't see. Thats it lol Literary mumbo jumbo aside - I am Literally not special lmao ----- Pro-gamer tip right (in case you ever find yourself in a similar situation): If someone is trying to hurt you over an extended period of time - do NOT compromise on your bite. Say what needs to be said, and hurt who needs to be hurt. The worst thing you can do in this situation, is claim that one or the other party is a "victim" or a "villain". In EVERY mutual fight - BOTH parties throw punches. It doesn't matter who threw the first punch - the first person to walk away will ALWAYS have the least scars at the end of it.

    • @EmbeddedSystems_Shius
      @EmbeddedSystems_Shius 12 днів тому

      Also I forgot but ONE MORE tip: In chess - playing black is always the easier way to win. This is specifically because white ALWAYS goes on the attack first. Like with literally any "game" in the world - its easier to find flaws in your enemies tactics if they strike first. So if this ever happens to you; I recommend that you observe your opponents ACTIONS before doing anything. In time - inconsistencies in these actions will lead to holes in their strategy. And by the time you know what their weakness is - you've already won. Have fun ;)

    I just. I need to rant in your comment section because I really need you to know how much this song means to us as a system. I was desperately searching the internet for any means of comfort and found this video and I quite literally cried for hours just listening to it over and over again. The way you sing, the rhythm, how it sounds almost like slam poetry but more flowy, how it uses metaphors and analogies to perfectly explain the feeling of being so disconnected and separated from yourself and yet *still* it manages to feel so . . . raw, so hopeful - at least to us. Your words have healed some minor fragment of our mind and I just need you to know how wonderful this is. Thank you for sharing your voice and your art, it has helped us in ways you do not understand. The line, "Who knew that "special" could bruise you like a fork on your hand" really spoke to me. A word that's meant to be positive, but especially in a neurodivergent world, it's only a cloud of shame and of falling short. It's a term used to sugar coat what people actually think: that we're and oddity. Others will never understand what it is like to wake up every day and to fear this concept of having a body, of being an existent organism- of never knowing who it is will inhabit our own skin. Of lapsing through time and never knowing if it will be a couple hours, a week, months, *years.* This constant dread that comes with existence all because the brain worked so hard to shield us from the evils of our past. People will just look at us, and they'll see someone who's "different" - who's "strange" - who's "special." This entire chunk, just. All of it. Means so much: "And the music, the memories, the chaos and the silence, Like a fever dream I couldn't tell if what I saw was violence. Or if it happened - did it happen? I don't know if I'll ever see that what my past bestowed me was a pocket full of holes and no memory." Never knowing if what we experienced was *real* or a fragmentation - or never remembering anything at all and being so confused and distraught at this loss of time and loss of *life.* Seeing all the people around us remembering things from when they were in pre-school, or kindergarten, and yet we can barely remember our life up to this point, let alone early childhood. It's all a fog . . as if we never existed prior to today. Having bad triggers to things that make no sense to be triggered by, and having no answers for it because our brain refuses to let us remember- but we're forced to sit through and *feel* it. It's a horribly isolating thing to deal with. "The person who I once was and the trauma that I now hold, it's a part of me. And I'm still "me" " And this part absolutely shattered us. Shattered. I sat on my bed and wept. The trauma we've faced is not our fault, and it may have wounded us deeper than we could ever heal - but it is a *part* of us. We are who we are because of it, and in some minor ways, we are strong because of it. We're resilient. Our trauma is not a weakness, it's a shield we carry like a mighty knight into battle. This line means so much. So much. Thank you. You have done so much for us in just the matter of a few hours, all with your few minutes of beautiful singing and wording. Thank you for posting this. It'll always be such a comfort to us. And please, if you're ever able, put this on spotify. I need to put this in every playlist I own. It means more to us than anything ever could. - Sincerely, The Parthenon (A system)

      Hey - I just woke up and ofc drifted to my comment section/youtube analytics, as I do, but I just wanted to let you know that this is THE most heartfelt comment I've ever received for a SINGULAR song of mine. I want to let you know that your words - and the way you UNDERSTAND the song saves me - just as much as my words save you. I believe that music is supposed to be interpreted at a personal level - that every person should have their OWN values, their OWN stories attached to the songs that THEY listen to, and cherish. Nobody will have the same understanding of the same, one song - and that's honestly how I feel it should be. I think what I'm trying to say is - this music is IMPORTANT to you, BECAUSE it's important to your OWN story. And I get it, it's SO fucking important to me, too. It's personal to you - because you understand it through your own lenses of life. I want to say that I really appreciate you sharing your own story with me. The lives we lead are by no means smooth sailing, let alone even 'normal', but - we are NOT without hope. It doesn't matter who you are - EVERY single person can get out of this, alive. EVERY person can be redeemed of the sins forced onto them by others - and by their own actions. I quite LITERALLY just got out of the mental trenches I put myself in for YEARS - and these songs, ESPECIALLY this one - were created out of a desperate NEED to be heard. And even being HEARD wasn't a given - I don't think I ever expected to be UNDERSTOOD. I've said this in my past works, and have chosen to reflect this many times over the course of the years with my own actions - but I WANT to make music about hope. Maybe one day, I want to be able to understand that there IS a light at the end of the tunnel. I WANT to document this life - because the shape of hope, in my story - isn't something bright, shining, or even clear-cut. For me, the shape of hope has ALWAYS been cruel. Something more akin to desperation. Something that sounds like... insanity. It's painful, because I could NEVER fucking ignore it - and that's why I write the way I do. Everything I do is a DELIBERATE choice. You UNDERSTAND this because you've gone through the Metaphorical Trenches like I have - even while on a different front, while in a different battle - I believe that the pain remains consistent. Most people won't even live to MAKE IT OUT of this kind of trauma - MUCH LESS be able to heal from it in ANY way. Lives like ours are not MEANT to be recovered from - and your understanding of this subject leads me to believe that you know this, just as well as I do. You know this pain to a PERSONAL level - because you are a survivor, yourself. I want to thank you for listening. I want to thank you for understanding - through your OWN lense, and not my own. If you can - stay alive. It's a hard ask, and I understand what I'm saying is IMMENSELY cruel. But... please, try if you are able. Who knows - you might even by surprised by what you see, if you make it to the other side. --- tangent over LMAO - i need to let you know about the streaming stuff. This song specifically cannot be monetized commercially, due to the instrumentals being licensed under Creative Commons (it's composed by Josh Woodward, and I used it for free p much). Also out of my own respect for his works - I'd rather not even be monetized for the music I made with his instrumentals at all. I have ALL of my music (everything i released, even OLD stuff like my vocaloid original songs) up for free on Bandcamp - which is downloadable as an music file. You're free to purchase albums if you'd like to - and if you make even a 1 USD donation on any album, i believe you can use that platform to stream music, as well. Should be the bandcamp player app on your chosen app store. That being said - I'm sorry I can't put this up on streaming. There are other ways you can download/stream if you'd like to do so, and I do have my own music up on Spotify/Apple Music as well, under the artist name "Shius". So... thank you. lmao. Soory I went on a LONG tangent, Im kinda TOO passionate abt this Thank you for listening :')

      @@EmbeddedSystems_Shius And yet again your words have dug deep within me and carved out more tears than I thought I possibly had left in my body. Thank you so much for responding and for pushing us forward - even though you didn't need to set aside the time to do that. You may just be a stranger aloft within this infinite universe, just as we are, but you have helped us more than even close family ever could. I should have read the description - ha! I'm sorry about that. I totally get it. But maybe in the future I'll be able to invest in your work. I'd like to. But for now, I'll just keep coming back to this, and your other work, when I need that small bit of comfort again. Despite how cruel hope is for people who have been beaten down, bruised, and left to the wolves without any means of shelter, much like we are each day, at least there is a world filled with color and with art to help derive a sort-of bittersweetness from it all. Music like this continues to remind us why we wake up each morning, and why we push through the molasses to reach some means of consistency. Thank you. Again. I hope nothing but peaceful, non-violent and nurturing days for all of you.

Many of these songs - even the fictional ones, are stories I needed to tell myself to keep my own head afloat - to keep hope, somehow. Although I'm still working on being honest with people when I communicate with them - I want to express (however much I can) that messages like yours - and YOUR messages to me, give me a LOT of peace. It helps me remember why I write in the first place. So... Thank you. Sincerely :')

      @@EmbeddedSystems_Shius I explicitly remember trying to search up self harm related songs and none of them quite... got it. It's always about some form of recovery and how it'll always get better or whatever- and that's just sometimes not what you want to hear when you're in the thick of it, yk? I'm glad you're doing better on communication though c: It's something we also struggle with- being fully honest, i mean. We were kind of unintentionally trained to be quiet about our problems, but we're getting better at it. ^^ Also no thank YOU sincerely,,,, >:) ehehehe.

    1:30:18 I wasn't aware of the actual story besides cults being a theme, and had actually interpreted To Kill God as about the cult leader themselves, sorta a origin. I think it was specifically the line, "these delusions tell me I am more than you" that made me think this; as perhaps their way of "killing/becoming God" was by gathering people and creating their own society. Though they recieved help, they eventually accepted their delusions and spirled ("will I let the dream go or let reality slip"). The rest of the story I saw as a parent realizing what's going on after their child nearly died and trying to escape, but the cult's influence has by now reached massive heights- especially thanks to technology. Apparently I didn't pay attention to the lyrics well lol that's on me. The actual story is really cool and interesting.

      (CW for talk of inhumane acts, not graphic detail but I feel the need to put this anyways). Also, the father killing his daughter through medicine to silence her hit hard because today in my Psychology class we had learned about people perceived as less intelligent or undesirable to society receiving non-consensual eugenic sterilization and even talk of euthanasia.

    2:39 "I won't die tonight!" Despite it being the reason I self harmed in the first place, I will forever be grateful for my overthinking brain immediately going off whenever the suicidal thoughts came. So many "what ifs" and fears yelling all at once helped keep it to only thoughts and never actual attempts. Man that menton of scratching and biting broke me. Those were two of the several methods I used to hurt myself. I've gotten a lot better, but it still hurts to remember.

      Mate I love your comments - also you've been commenting since I fell asleep 9 hours ago and I need to ask (for my curiosity's sake) if you've been binging my music for a significant chunk of time in the last few hours Cause Im flattered but also. Are you okay. Cause most people who delve this deep into my music this quick are very often Not Okay

      @@EmbeddedSystems_Shius Sorry 'bout that. I have been binging your songs, but definitely not for hours, as I've had other stuff to do and other things grabbed my attention. I'm alright, I just get fixated on stuff. By the time you commented I had moved on to another interest. Sorry if I caused any concern.
