December 25, 1916. A young man named Cullen Flynn lies dead on the ground. Surrounded by the shouts of war, explosions of artillery, and the whizzing of bullets. He lies unshaken on the ground. The camera zooms out, followed by a voice explaining that, sadly, Mrs. Flynn would not be receiving the Christmas letter she expected that year. Merry Christmas; War is over, for one of many.

help 2:06 is full-on: 24th December 1964 11:58pm "the man slowly walked up the hill, holding his bleeding wound as he suddenly collapsed, he laid on the ground smiling and looking up at the sky, the sun slowly rose on him... "It's Christmas morning.." Little snowflakes fell on his face remembering his wife and kids and what he did to protect his family and his country he quietly muttered "War is over..." and his eyes suddenly closed... The last standing man from the war... had just passed...
When you find the snail looking up into the sky, waiting for the sun to explode, given up on its objective of killing you, just wanting this futile game of cat and mouse to end
2:06 me and the snail in the year 9005 as we watch the world come to a end realizing that we both have nothing else to lose so I can sacrifice myself to let the snail live a long time to live life happily
at 2:06 i just imagine falling to your knees, accepting your fate as you bleed from chest/stomach, your in the snow. You finally accepted your lost battle. you fall to your side, in the calm, cold, snowy breeze. ''war is over.''
this is one of the songs that I grew up listening to, every Christmas, I heard this song, with my family together, i get the chills when I heard it, it's just so genuinely good to listen this again...
“The war is finally over” I say as I dust my hand in salt and scoop up the snail. “I hope you had fun” I say as I take my last breath and watch the sun burn out. “Merry Christmas” I think as the world collapses around me. And so, the age old tale of the immortal snail and the girl to die at its hand is over. It took longer than anybody could of imagined but at least it’s over, right?
This song reminds me of the men in ww2 and ww1 returning home to see their families after years of fighting and a feeling of reunification occuring, 3:12 is when i vision it the most.
At 2:06, I can imagine a heart wrenching scene in a movie/series where in the emotional ending, the worthy son of a mafia boss shoots his own father in the head point blank inside a private villa on Christmas due to the old man’s cowardice and betrayal of not only the criminal empire he built from the ground up, but also his wife and children he swore to eternally protect
me when the snail and I have lost everyone we ever knew and could’ve known, after realizing we could no longer become attached to anyone, after watching the earth descend into chaos and pain, after watching humanity destroy themselves with the technology of their own creation, after watching wildlife prosper, just to be destroyed as the universe dies of a heat death, and yet despite all of this, it doesn’t stop moving towards me. and this time, I don’t run.
hurts on another level when ur birthday is right next to christmas and so piles another layer of pain: isolation as you become another year older, for as long as you can recall
Within your eternal and immortal existence, wasn’t the snail the only thing still giving you purpose after thousands of years? It made you live rather than meaninglessly existing for eternity. Thank you Snail.
2:06 Pov: the entire world is fighting against an immortal on christmas day in the year 8765 and you see a snail from the corner of your eye inching towards the immortal.
Me and my enemy watching the snow fall. We had been battling for who knows how many hours, now laying on the ground. Me: I just realized something Enemy: What? Me, on the verge of crying: Merry Christmas Enemy: Merry Christmas We only had each other, and we would figure out things one of these days, but for now, the snow was glittering in the moonlight peaking through the clouds, and that was enough for us.

from 2:06 it suits very well with this specific country's history. on 25th december 1989 the Romanian revolution(21st dec-25th dec 1989) or also known as the "Christmas revolution" ended. Romania was no longer a communism country. the last execution made was for the Ceausescu (the last communist president) and his wife. people were finally free from those all years they suffered by not having electricity, food being so limited bc of Ceausescu's future plans. it was a bl00dy-hard revolution, many people d!ed and got rlly injured bc the army was involved to sh0t in the crowd
!!! TW SUICIDE !!! this song brings back so many memories for me lolz. last christmas, it wasnt exactly on christmas, but my best friend killed herself. i listened to this song constantly on this specific video and everything, just thinking war is over for her, with her struggles with her mental illnesses and everything. i find myself coming back to this video just remembering her and how much she meant to me. eh idfk what im going on about lolz
When you and the snail watch as the sunset shines an arrangement of colors on ice-glazed snow on Dec 25, knowing everyone you ever cared about is already dead.
The snail joke explained: You agree to be immoral & have 1 million dollars but theres an immoral snail that chases you & if it touches you, you die immediately.
@@internallaughter5238 Started as a story prompt on tumblr, spiraled into a meme where people describe dramatic scenarios of finally learning to accept the snail as the world crumbles around them thousands of years in the future as this song plays.
The snail and I stood among the last fragments of earth, looking at the consuming abyss of space. I can't remember the year. Humanity had died too long ago for me to keep track. "So, this is it Snail." It may have been the delusions of a dying man, but the Snail spoke back. "I never wanted to kill you," the Snail spoke in a surreal manner, "I was waiting, all these years, to see this exact moment." Tears silently going down my immortal face, I knew what was coming. "You chose to be immortal. You chose to see the flickers of humanity disappear from the all-consuming Void. You saw death, after death, after death, and you were hoping that this torment would end, but I never came. Such is the price of immortality." My vision blurry with tears, I desperately wanted this to end. I raced after the Snail, but it kept on moving away faster than any Snail could manage. I tripped on a loose rock As I fell to the ground weeping, bruised and battered, I whispered the words, "Damn you- Damn you Snail."
My brother and I playing the wi u in 2013, sonic transformers, hot chocolate, not divorced parents, before nic alc and drugs. Back when Christmas’s felt magical not sad. When I was loved.
