    Beautiful de-construction and right on. Ville is a moody yet introspective and intellectual poet, so all of his work is symbolic of this. You are right, absolutely.

    I would also like to leave here the analysis I did for the video "Loveletting". It is a visual complement to the meaning of the song's lyrics. The entire video along with the song represents a kind of requiem for the dream of true and lasting love.
    The sheep is the animal that represents true, stable, and lasting love and its black color represents Yin/ night/ the feminine part (Yin) complementary to his masculine part (Yang)/ that he still dreams of but that he is ceasing to believe that he will find it someday (dreaming of love Letting love).
    When he sings “Love, you are the road I walk alone. The endless night I keep dreaming of ”the sheep appears reflected inside his eyes as if this were a dream he longs for but is destined to disappear. This is shown at the end of the video when the black sheep disappears inside his eyes the same way she had appeared inside his eyes at the beginning of the vídeo. After that, we can only see the initial landscape which seems like a lonely and rocky path at sunset. This is the path that he has to walk alone without Love and without the dream of finding it one day.
    During the moment in which he dreams of this true, stable, and lasting love represented by the black sheep, he sees himself walking with her, feeding her, giving his affection to her, and having romantic moments with her like having dinner by candlelight, singing and playing for her…
    The storm that appears on the horizon represents the difficult moments of a romantic relationship. He uses the umbrella he carries with him to protect himself but it is useless. The rain is so heavy that it ends up getting him wet without any possible protection against the effects of that storm but at the same time, it can be seen by his face that he is accepting that rain as a way of cleaning himself.
    The bloodletting he is submitting himself while having dinner by the candlelights means that he is cleaning himself / letting go of that dream/illusion - the dream of true and lasting love. Due to his past experiences, he no longer believes it is possible to find it, so he is letting go. Even if he still thinks that true, stable, and lasting love is a beautiful dream, he knows that it fades just as the sun fades at sunset - "So beautiful, you are In the light of the setting sun".

      It warms my heart seeing your beautiful analysis. Believe me it would mean much for VV to know that listeners and beholders understand his message. Isn’t it what hurts most, to be unheard, the true words to be twisted, the true intentions of the heart to be laughed at? This is an island of the truth, the understanding of the art. Thank you, dearest heart.

    This is my interpretation of this beautiful song! The author talks about how his heart is filled with feelings of loneliness and suffering and how he longs to find connection and love but is giving up finding what he wants the most.
    He speaks to love saying that this is a road he walks alone, implying that the author feels abandoned by love and now he walks alone along the path of life.
    Despite continuing to dream/want to love, he feels he can no longer do so and is therefore letting go of love.
    When he says " Trapped in a loop of chasing shadows"
    he means he is trapped in his past traumas, which are images that hover in his mind, remembering all the mistakes he made and remembering that he cannot go back to amend the past.
    The night/darkness that he continues to dream about could mean that love is like a dark blanket that he cannot see through despite dreaming/desiring what is beyond that blanket of darkness.
    Night/Darkness can also represent Yin, that is, the feminine that complements the masculine. Therefore he continues to dream of the feminine side complementing his masculine side and both forming a whole. This might be the most real interpretation since the author really likes to use light and darkness as in the principle of Chinese philosophy, where yin and yang are two opposite and complementary energies.
    The author is ceasing to love despite still wanting to love. Why?
    He is full of trauma and full of failed/negative experiences, despite continuing to want to find true and lasting love. However, he thinks his time has passed.
    (The hopelessness of the author of the song, a lot of people can relate to after going through a succession of failed relationships) .
    This song may have been written with a single great love from the past in mind. A great love that failed but that marked the author throughout his life but it can also be directed to the summary of all his past and failed loves.
    Love was set up for failure because the lovers were out of sync with each other. Their hearts wanted different things and therefore beat at different rates.
    But this can have a deeper and spiritual meaning if we ask ourselves about the real reason behind the relationship's failure. Relationships with other people fail because we fail in the first relationship, which is the one we have with ourselves. If the mind is full of negative beliefs about ourselves, others, and the nature of relationships then we will never be able to truly love and consequently, our relationship with others is set up for failure (doom). Listening to Valo's songs through the years I honestly believe that he had a very negative way of perceiving love. Those negative beliefs turned into reality and now he is brokenhearted and hopeless about love.

      Wow, I absolutely love your interpretation and totally think so too!❤️‍🔥
      The past traumas is one of the central motives, and a fundamental one it is. Though I think that, despite many disappointments, the loving character still has inside that great potential to love - love is still running through their veins and, having no one to be shared with, tortures the lonely person from inside.
      To never give up, to still go on, to love for no avail - what a noble and brave option!..❤️‍🩹❤️‍🔥

      @@litermort Yes, the potential to love is always there because that is the potential of the soul/heart. The author's soul/heart was made to love and he himself still wants to love however he doesn’t believe that is possible. It seems that at the time the author wrote this song he had his heart and mind out of sync. That's why I think that the desynchronization that happens between two hearts/people which is fully exposed in the lyrics of the song, underlies a primary desynchronization between the core of the author's heart which wants love, and the author's mind which is filled with negative thoughts, beliefs, and experiences about love.

    Another thing I liked about your interpretation-- love can be singular and not about the couple. It can be self-love -- it can be the love of love--it is indeed a path--and may not be about the object of our affection at all. It can be passionless, as Salvador Dali experienced... it can be romantic or dark and painful. Love wears many faces. I am at the point where I need/want to walk alone in love, I think it helps you understand how to love; to be better for yourself and another if so desired--but another is not needed. Though that path makes you Black Sheep, as we see in the video for this song.

    Русский перевод:
    "Любвепускание"
    В сердце моём тоска без просвета
    Разрывает на части несбывшихся нас.
    Любовь, ты дорога на пути одиноком,
    Беспросветная ночь в моих вечных мечтах.
    Два биения не в такт вместе плачут и мечтают,
    Как, любя, любви избыток отдают - и им легчает.
    Загнан я в петли ловушку, и гоняюсь я за тенью
    От упущенного нами и надежд под тазом медным.
    Любовь, ты песня, что пою одиноко,
    Беспросветная тьма в моих вечных мечтах.
    Два биения не в такт вместе плачут и мечтают,
    Как, любя, любви избыток отдают - и им легчает.
    Два биения не в такт, плача, рядом погибают.
    Как прекрасна ты в лучах заходящего светила,
    Ты мечтаешь, как, любя, отдаёшь любви избыток...
    Два биенья вразнобой, хоть друг от друга не далёки.
    Два биенья стали дальше, чем Нью-Йорк от Калайоки.

    I still don't get loveletting in comparison to medieval practice of bloodletting so person undertaking this practic3 will feel better? So what is the connection?

    • @litermort
      @litermort  9 місяців тому

      There's too much blood in system. One has to love someone fast. But they don't find a true love. But that excessive love inside pressurizes too much. And so they decide to love whoever they find, during the process they give their love to that "whoever" . Both feel relieved.
