    If you do not know what the song is about, it is about the drug Krokodil (commonly known by it's effects of breaking up your skin until it's feels leathery like Crocodile Skin). People who take this drug hardly live past 2 years of using these drugs, comparative to others which can take over a decade. This song is about two halves of taking drugs. One side describes how good it feels to be intoxicated and filled with joy from these drugs. The other side explains how it wants the side effects to end. The skin to stop breaking down. It's rather sad.

      @@grayhadeswolf They didn't even get into the worst of it- it eats the tissue away from the inside out. Long term users (if they live that long) bones will be seen. Some you can see through their arm/leg the bone completely visible from all sides. Entire limbs become completely useless. If they do recovery from it, the muscle doesn't come back because it's completely gone in some places.
      Some people use gasoline, paint thinner, cigarette ashes (to balance the pH.) They found that eye drops heightens the effects. The eye drops dries them out severally. Causing major damage to the heart, liver and other body organs. Most only live about 2 years.
      It only takes about 5 minutes to feel it and it last on average about 2 hours, this depends on how strong it is. Because of this they inject themselves more frequent than other drugs, putting more toxins in their body.
      Most of the people who do this drug are ex heroin addicts. When they get to poor, or the drug prices spike up they turn to this awful drug. It's cheaper and easy to make. It only takes about 45 minutes to an hour to finish a batch. Which, compared to most other drugs is quick. It's high is also stronger. Which to them, is a added benefit.
      At that point most of them live for the next high, that's all. They have completely given up. It's sad honestly, because they know what it does. They don't care, they have given up on everything. Completely and utterly in love with this drug. While hating it at the same time.
      Sorry about the length.

    This song gives many emotions for me coming from a family of addicts and seeing the damage to does to people. I love the instrumentals and lyrics. Listening to it and thinking of how horrific that actual drug is disturbs me, yet the lyrics are just saddening and applies to the topic of addiction.
    "Lying never felt so fulfilling/displeasing, I think that tomorrow will be a new day to start fresh, repeat what's been done a hundred times again."
    This couldn't be more accurate.
    Unless you've experienced it first hand, having a loved one suffering from addiction is horrific to see. Reasoning and meaning of life no longer registers in their voice, but it's there.

    lyrics:
    .
    The craving slowly starts again
    Crawling up my skin
    I want the blissful feeling of
    Intoxication
    I wander the streets searching for
    Justification
    An excuse escapes my pale lips
    Addiction
    .
    Lying never felt so
    Fulfilling, I think that
    Tomorrow will be a new day
    To start fresh
    Repeat what\'s been done
    A hundred times again
    The sensation subsides
    But slowly crawls back up my skin
    .
    The poison quickly floods my veins
    Contamination
    A stream of colours fill my head
    Hallucinations
    I collapse on the cold, hard, floor
    Deprivation
    The damage takes a hold of me
    Infliction
    .
    Lying never felt so
    Fulfilling, I think that
    Tomorrow will be a new day
    To start fresh
    Repeat what\'s been done
    A hundred times again
    The sensation subsides
    But slowly crawls back up my skin
    .
    The craving slowly starts again
    Crawling up my skin
    I want the blissful feeling of
    Purification
    I touch the leather surface of
    My crocodile skin
    I want a way to stop the pain
    Depression
    .
    Lying never felt so
    Displeasing, I think that
    Tomorrow will be a new day
    To start fresh
    Undo what\'s been done
    A hundred times again
    The sensation subsides
    And never crawls back up my skin
    .

      When a heroin addict can no longer afford to pay for their fix, they might turn to krokodil, which is about a tenth of the price--since it can be made easily at home. Plus it has a much stronger kick and such. They know what it does to them, but they just don't care.
      In other words, you're pretty much only going to take krokodil if you're already a massive drug addict.

    Concept for a music video if this were ever covered by another band.
    It’s a single continuous shot of the singer. As the song goes on, the setting changes from the streets, to an abandoned building with a concrete floor, etc.
    In some parts, the environment gets more and more distorted to represent the high from the drugs.
    As it goes on, the singer who’s playing the role of the addict, seems to get worse and worse looking. They start out with a few scars and bruises, but gradually develop more of them along with open wounds, a bleeding eye, and maybe even some rough skin (but none of the awful deterioration that Krokodil is known for, that would be a little too graphic. But show enough damage to get the message across.)
    The final scene is of the addict getting up and going somewhere. In the last few seconds of the video, some of the wounds start to heal, but the very last part is of her lying down in what could be either a bed, or a casket. The ending as to whether she lives or dies is left up to speculation.

Most vocaloid songs I come across I just think "Oh, another /Vocaloid/ song." But this song and your other songs are more "real" to me, its not /just/ the fact that its vocaloid that makes it special.

      Heroin is extremely popular in a certain part of the Russian border, and when offered Krokodil, many addicts will take it. The effect is stronger and the drug is cheaper, which I guess is why. Some people just place little to no value on their life so if its cheaper, they don't fear the dangerous side effects. I hope that explains why, or at least kind of does.

    *MESSAGE OF DRUG AWARENESS:*
    Desomorphine (krokodil- the name of the drug the song is about) has been nick-named "flesh-eating drug" and "zombie drug" and it's not for nothing. It causes the skin to become decrepit, thicker, and eventually decay, looking moldy. The skin disease it causes is called Necrotizing Fasciitis, and as the name suggests, this is due to a bacterial infection when one consums d=this drug, causing skin damage within a few weeks. There is no cure to this aside from limb amputation, as the blood will be filled with gasoline and paint thinner, substances that are still present in illicitly produced desomorphine, because of excessive synthesis. This is why only hospitals and clinics possess this, as it is a derivative of morphine, which eases pain, and causes a feeling of euphoria, only for the person to fall down the rabbit hole and easily become addicted. In some way, in a legal context, when there is a company helping producing the desomorphine and searching to make morphine, they have less trouble "purifying" it (we'll say it like that).
    Now a final little note: I strongly disadvice searching the name of the skin diseases, especially if you are sensitive and easily shocked. Even I haven't searched images of this skin disease in a long time as it is very gory. Remember that those do not come from horror movies, and are actually pictures of people who have the symptoms and took the drug... VIEW IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!
    I hope I was not too annoying with this, but awareness is vital. I also do not intend to scare anyone. I mean that it is understandable to want to challenge your guts, but there are some things better off unseen.
    THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO UNDERSTAND THE MEANING BEHIND THE TITLE OF THE SONG.

      On those pictures, for those who wanna know but not actually see it, read more for the gory details.
      You were warned.
      On top of this comment, it isn't just skin. It also can rot your muscles and flesh from the inside out, and seemingly bone.
      Looking the disease up, I saw not only skin being taken off down to the tendons across the entire tops of feet and amputated toes, along the entire arm and into the chest, but multiple pictures of holes in peoples' faces. Like, half the upper jaw gone, no seperation from that hole and the eye socket, in fact there was no eye socket, and it went up to the forehead. All of it decayed and rotted. And the worst part is some of them looked not like it was an autopsy or they were dead, but like it was just surgery to remove. Like they were still alive through that.
      Editing this to add. Sorry for your inevitable disgust.
      What I said about the upper jaw to the forehead? I just came across pics of people with the whole side of their heads gone. One of them was definitely still alive, his eyes open and all, looking at the camera.

      @@O111e You don’t have to apologize. You did give a warning. And furthermore, yeah it eats you from the inside because of all the chemical agents inside. I don’t quite remember the name of the disease where the body rots while the individual is still conscious, or rather decaying in several regions. Although I believe it was something along “Necrosis”, I just ate so, although I have a tough stomach, I’m not really keen on checking the decay out only to see the name. But I really do appreciate you pointing out and also trying to inform of the effects and the agony it causes on the body. So thank you. Nobody deserves to have any part of them decay while alive, much worse that they chose to dive into this rabbit hole blinded by comfort and a high to hide pain or inner conflicts…

    Might be a late comment, but thank you for making this. Despite it being a different production overall, I do put this song up there with Metallica's "Master of Puppets" and "Sad but True," as well as Silva Hound's "Addict," (yes, the Hazbin Hotel song,) as perfect addiction songs. I've been fortunate enough to not be an "addict," but I do have an addictive personality, and these kinds of songs kind of fuck me up, but in a good way. Makes me want to stop short of going too far, even if I kind of do, every once in a while.
    Of the above songs mentioned, though, this one is the only one I'd describe as desperate. This is the soundtrack to someone who KNOWS what they're doing, but can't stop. They want to, but their body can't, and that's heartbreaking, if for no other reason than that's the kind of thing that stole my mother from me.

    Thanks for this awesome and slightly creepy song, I think it's really cool how you took rock and vocaloid and did it so beautifully I think you are my favorite vocaloid writer by far! :D

    At 100% on everything, the voice becomes an instrument that you can understand. (close to hearing degradation)
    Love it.

    you can't exactly get better from krokodil. it's too addictive, she can't feel good from slowly curing herself. so i bet she is dying and progressively loose sensations starting from pain.

    OMG THIS IS SO CATCHY AND AWESOME!!!! So... I'm guessing the song is about addiction and temptation or something...? I'm not entirely sure but either way, love the song!

    This is AMAZING!!! hey guys Can someone tell me a couple of songs like this one from GUMI? like Self-Harm Colorless, or Wrist Cutter, ECHO or ASTHMA, Colours Fading, Or Crocodile Skin, please guys recommend me some good songs about lunacy or depression from Vocaloid please. I am amazed with this song, but I need more!

      Venemous Syrin well I have a couple that are similar to this but aren't sung by gumi. Maretu songs tend to have this same vibe.

    • @venemoussyrin5949
      @venemoussyrin5949 8 років тому

      ***** well recommend me a couple and of course I will listen to them!

      Venemous Syrin One of my personal favorites is Mind Brand by Maretu sung by Miku. The English cover of Mind Brand sung by Katerinu2 also plays amazing on the ears. If you are looking for some songs with amazing plot lines like this, go to kikuo's channel. He produces some amazing music and adds grotesque lyrics and images and it just plays out well. One of my favorite teams of people who create English vocaloid songs ( they do use gumi a lot but mostly oliver ) is Morbid Morsel and Steampianist, which is found on steampianist's channel. You'll probably find a lot of other suggested songs in the recommended of these videos, so I'll leave you there for now :)

    Para los que no entiendan ingles la canción hace referencia a la desomorfina una droga mejor conocida con el apodo de krokodil, que significa ‘cocodrilo’, probablemente debido a una derivación del nombre clorocodida y quizás también al aspecto de piel escamosa que presentan sus usuarios habituales. Cuellos efectos son similares a la morfina pero 8 o 10 veces mas potentes. Se popularizó en Rusia debido a que provoca efectos nocivos como gangrena con necrosis de muchos tejidos. La chica del vídeo es una imagen representativa de como termina un adicto ha esta porquería
