Fellow MF fan here, and I have to agree with you. For the first half of this track i was actually thinking that Aesop Rock lyrics would go really well with Lorn beats... I think it would be a sick project album. Loving the Lorn sound!
It's definitely a favorite for me. I have a hard time choosing between acid rain, anvil, and diamond as for which one I like most. I love the whole album "ask the dust". Everything is violence is really good too. I like the newer track Entropyy as well. It's a totally different vibe but very good and it feels like "here's the future of love and bipeds if they're not entirely organic!" Like a sort of cyberpunk feel
I'm late to the Lorn party but one thing I've learned very quickly is that his fan base and the community he's built around his music is incredibly friendly and open minded.
@@fg3ify let's all take more than we can handle and turn into tubes, gears, and wires, while we're filled with kryptonotic fluid so that we can melt into liquid feeling. Let's Take a couple drops to the dome and explode into fractals while we try to ignore the panic and anxiety.
This song means so much to me , i keep running away from my problems as if they will solve themselves , i hope in this little corner of the internet my story resonates with someone.😢
I know what you mean. But if you turn and face your problems then that's how you'll spend your time. And nobody (I mean nobody) ever really solves the puzzles. We're all just taking our turn on the stage, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
🎃🦋🎃Or you can look at your problem under a different light, from a different angle. We all have problems. Doesn’t mean we need to ram our faces into them. Maybe we need to examine and transcend? 🦋
The air is still. He is hunter. He didn't want to run. He had no choice, so he did. And he never stopped, following his never ending fate. Only to find not just his doom, but his goal. Alone in death and life, given chances but refused. The air is still. He is hunter.
Time is the biggest monster of all of us. Its always lingering right beside us. Devouring every moment that passes. Love, loss, life, death... It's all meaningless to times never ending onslaught. A diamond is a prime example of time. Carbon compressed for millions of years, creating a shiny little crystal which people prize and cherish. Where does its value come from? It looks pretty? Its rarity? The fact it took millions of years to form? All of the above? We as humans will never be around as long as diamonds, even though we are both made of carbon. We must constantly move forward, living in the moment, through obstacles of misfortune, never dwelling on the past, whilst hoping that we will live for a fraction of the life of a diamond.
he isn't the best. to say that he's the best is to say that many are like him, and among them he stands out. Which is fair, but Lorn stands out because he's the only Lorn we have.
I've seen this video plenty of times, looking for my own interpretation. Today watched it out of the blue and something finally hit me. To me, this running man, or whom ever it.. is us. All of, or any of us that are constantly trying to deal with life's stresses, traumas, and pain. The black is the breakdown, the point where we give up or give in to it all. So we keep pushing forward, running from our own insecurities or problems. Eventually it will catch up with us though, as it's probably not the best way to deal with our problems, and as we have a moment of clarity from the breakdown that eventually catches up with us, we hopefully learn, gain some enlightenment... if not, we're doomed to repeat the cycle again.
I love how even death, is running for his life. In this, I see that consciousness itself, is in peril. Nothing wins ... nothing. Be patient, you'll see. When the last proton evaporates, you will see. Will love survive ? I love you all.
I guess we extrapolate based on our experience. I see a guy who is running from the darkness inside looking for some light, running into fantasy maybe - the unicorn. Then the darkness catches him, blends with unrealistic dreams he has. He falls down, cause it gotta get bad before it gets good. Then the light, for a moment, before darkness appears again. I like your interpretation, I just see it as a constant fight with depression, with its ups and downs. Or perhaps it's the same thing in different words?
In the last scene l, the darkness seams to starts spreading from the other side of the window. The starting the cycle again. As if if the protagonist had of stopped running, or that the protagonist had the opportunity to change.
@@GG-cn6es pretty sure Death is death in this video. y;know, Grim Reaper, all that? there's something even Death runs from, something that therefore puts us on an even playing field with Death, makes us peers with Death, and that is the Abyss. The black is the Abyss. And even though the Abyss is more powerful than, and more oppressive than Death, we have to keep struggling, otherwise we are nothing and we have Nothing. Our miracle, as humans, is to be able to not succumb to "That Which Even Death Fears," as long as we keep going- even if it means nothing more than that we're still alive.
This song made me feeling like I was running for my life, but I've never felt more alive. Only to die in the end. Music and video. I can't explain the way Lorn makes me feel. I may not understand, But I Do love it.
this song makes every hair on my arms stand on end and pulls tears from my eyes. Never have I heard such human emotion in an electronic track, and I've been making it myself for 20+ years.
Lyrics: You stare every second So much building gone So, will I stay in these endless seconds Suspended on? I try hardest steel I try fresh stone But these nails won’t keep Just wanna build a home It’s the best advice Got to pave a road Lay that surface down

Every time I look at this video, I'm reminded about life and death... How death is never really far away from us, no matter what we do or what we find ourselves in, because in the end... death comes for us all and life begins anew for someone else to repeat this journey.
Lorn will forever hold a place in my heart this song gave me strength when I needed it most and I can’t even explain why but for some reason it’s just so powerful.
I went to bed and turned on Lorn’s a/d album, which is fairly light ambient music. I felt asleep very fast. And then I started seeing the worst nightmare in my life. In one moment I woke up in cold sweat and in my headphones i heard this track playing. UA-cam just decided to recommend it to me ))
It is so hard for me to put a finger on Lorn's music. If I was forced to choose a description, it would be like creating a video game starting with only the music
You stare every second So much building gone So, will I stay in these endless seconds Suspended on? I try hardest steel I try fresh stone But these nails won’t keep Just wanna build a home It’s the best advice Got to pave a road Lay that surface down
Jesus, this one's still a real banger. I like to listen to extreme metal but this is extreme on another level. It's like I feel veins or roots seeping into me connecting to my nerves and the sound just exponentiates as I get further into it. Little tendrils of feeling and perception creeping into me as I get crushed by the pressure of it. It's awesome. This music is beautiful and I can't find the words to accurately describe what I mean by that.
I'm so glad i discovered this song years ago! That bass drop @ 0:30 has become my default bass test whenever I get new speakers/headphones. Absolutely earthshattering with the right setup
WhippedButta death will chase even the man who chases nothing.* if it was "even death" that would imply other things are chasing him, but it's more likely that nothing and no one would chase after him but death. After all the man who chases nothing is probably a broken one with no ambition or inspiration, and they don't draw people in, trust me on that one.
It's taken me a while to come to this conclusion but this might be my favorite bit of Lornage. The visual, the aural, the implications... Yeah, this is it.
So, after watching, and rewatching, and rewatching this video numerous times, I feel like I might have a personal idea of what this video could mean. So, of course, we begin with the young boy (assuming he's a child for the sake of my argument, and his cat. At first, he seems to just be doing his thing, and his cat walks along with him. Later on, the boy walks past a mirror (thing...or whatever), and the cat disappears *into* the mirror, and that's when the dino-run destruction apocalyptic thing starts to wane in on his life, followed by more and more dark things and cats appearing, as well as a unicorn and presumably the grim reaper. My personal take on this is that the kid had a pet cat, and he was a naive, happy child until tragedy struck. The cat died somehow, and then the weight of inevitability and death began to settle on his shoulders. As he ignores his grief, he goes through life becoming hypersensitive to *noticing* tragedies, but apathetic to feeling any regard for them. However, he can't always run from the feeling, as the costant reminder of what started this (the constant phantom cats), as it appears in life at different stages. The unicorn, i also feel, stands for the ghost of what was once his childhood after the music becomes dramatic, and then the constant appearance of the grimm reaper is just showing how life is catching up, and so is death. The fall could be either an existential crisis (and the rebirth could later be his child/next generation), or the boy dying and going through regret at life and realizing that it's over, and the train will arrive at its destination, and he's unable to stop it (and personally, i find this option better because that would also fit in with acid rain where the message seems similar, though its more of the fight against death and then accepting that she's dead, and that her life won't be fulfilled)
This has to be one of the most beautiful insights I've ever read. Idk who you are, but thank you for being human, and thank you for having a beautiful mind. With every sentence I became more and more entranced by your interpretation, you swept me up with your flow of words. Reading this has reminded (and more or less proven) me that other people actually have brains and can think and feel. I haven't been my whole self for almost two years now. Lorn's music made me feel truly alive and truly human when I was 15. I had such wonderful beautiful thoughts. I've been on the verge of suicide for so long and I'm just now starting to listen to his music again. Your comment (along with this song playing) has somehow aided in reinforcement of the broken fortifications of my soul. Thank you for sharing a small piece of your mind. There is nothing I value more than one's mind, their consciousness, individuality, their pure thought.
The Blob that ate everything, he kept running until the world was swallowed whole. At the end he would look back and not see a blob of blackness chasing him, but death.
Can you imagine actually playing a video game like this? Steps form and a slap is heard. A dark abyss chases you and the music makes you have this anxiety filled dread. Sounds amazing!!!
I too got goosebumps towards the end and climax. There is intensity behind the cute animation. Brilliant video for this song. Absolutely chilling, dramatic, and beautiful. Bravo Lorn.
The first time I heard this it made me so uneasy and I felt the urge to look over my shoulder like I was being watched. Music that can do that is powerful.
i love this video! to me this video represents someone facing a long dark troubled road completely lost and right when death is at hand he wakes up and realizes his past and over comes and rises to his greatest accomplishment and begins to live life to the fullest
Jason Brown probably because that's what we all end up doing, even after near death experiences (or other very meaningful events) where we change as people, we always end up settling back down into the same familiar routine for better or for worse
I'm stooopid late to the Lorn party. But I'm glad I'm here now. It's kinda like life, ya know? You just get tired like, "Fuck, it'd be alright if I wasn't here anymore." And then you come across something awesome, and you look back on that thought like, "Shit, I would've missed THIS if that happened." And you than you're glad. For a little while...
I hope I can listen to Lorn when I'm dead.
In a couple years this will be the top commment.
Dammn. Why?
More like 3 years
I'm dead inside. I hear it just fine.
what if you are already dead and all this is your imagination?
Lorn is a master of the soundscape. He doesn't create songs he creates worlds. Too bad this song doesn't have more views because it's his best imo
Fellow MF fan here, and I have to agree with you. For the first half of this track i was actually thinking that Aesop Rock lyrics would go really well with Lorn beats... I think it would be a sick project album.

Creates worlds, very well put.
full of structure and rythmn and heart and soul. He's by the book but then the soul part! :)

be careful what you wish for, i guess xD it now has over 4 million….
Lorn's videos, i have noticed, are very ambiguous, open to several interpretations and all seem valid. This is art.

agreed
I mean a dick pic is still an art. Open to several interpretations eh?

You won’t like his music if you’re not an open minded and deep thinking individual. Thats why his fans are all friendly

Some say he's still running to this day
They said he was running away from his problems, when really he was chasing his dreams.
some said death always catch up to hes victims
others say they weren't really victims, but friends on a journey.
Said others, dreams really journeys; away running. Death friends
The air is still. He is hunter. He didn't want to run. He had no choice, so he did. And he never stopped, following his never ending fate. Only to find not just his doom, but his goal. Alone in death and life, given chances but refused. The air is still. He is hunter.
This song feels really massive to me. I think that's a really good way to describe it.
Feels like a monster, or a mountain. It's bigger than most things, more than itself. It is Amazing.
Gustajuy Yes like a vulcanic mountain in the animal galaxy cluster...
EXACTLY
Nice reference! Very well said!
almost lovecraftian an eldritch horror indescribable and unknowable pushing your mind to insanity as you cannot possibly grasp it
Lorn is something special
Even just that first super-low menacing bass hit at 0:30 gives me goosebumps. Feels like your brain is compressing.
Hey man, have you ever listened to huun huuru tur? "Live at berkley" I think you might like it.
This whole song is masterfully composed, but the parts that specifically give me goosebumps are @2:30 and @4:37!

Words cannot do justice to explain how beautiful Lorn's music is.
lorn is love, lorn is life
All you need is Lorn!
I feel it in my lorn
Lorn is Porn
lorn til dawn
So is shrek
Let's start 2022 right by listening to this 💕
My first Lorn experience.
So good.
I only just discovered lorn a few days ago,what a fantastic musician,i honesty have not heard anything quite like this before,really great work.
I discovered Lorn by playing littlebig planet one, two or the karting one haha.
He is just a normal guy from a NORMAL town yo.
The only artist close to lorn is James Holden for me, although yet very different 😄
Damn straight!
Try Tycho: Dive and The Flashbulb: Sound Track to a Vacant Life, both are great albums.
Lorn is undoubtedly one of the best around right now and this track confirms it...
Nice avatar! :D and I agree. IMO he IS the best. No other artist do I love basically EVERY song. Seriously, who does that? #LEGEND that is #LORN
he isn't the best. to say that he's the best is to say that many are like him, and among them he stands out. Which is fair, but Lorn stands out because he's the only Lorn we have.
I've just found this masterpiece in 2019.
Happy Lornday

The black is death, and when you're a child you have no concept of death which is why it only creeps in after he walks past the mirror.

O agree. You don't need to explain. Just be glad something out there can reach down deep to touch something alive, like apparently this has.
Maybe this video is about adrenaline

You stare every second
So much building gone
So, will I stay in these endless seconds

I try fresh stone

Got to pave a road
Lay that surface down
Very good, Erik
This song is literally. Talking about. What I was telling myself. A few days ago... huh... weird...
So.. is that music talking about not being able to settle down and build a serene static life like a house? And the only solution is to keep moving?
@@sevnesioran6193 Probably a metaphor for things coming and going, never feeling comfortable, and having to move foreword despite the confusion of life and dread of death

I don't really care why, but when I listen to Lorn songs I feel better.
11 years since this masterpiece, the world has changed so much since
Every time I look at this video, I'm reminded about life and death... How death is never really far away from us, no matter what we do or what we find ourselves in, because in the end... death comes for us all and life begins anew for someone else to repeat this journey.
Lorn will forever hold a place in my heart this song gave me strength when I needed it most and I can’t even explain why but for some reason it’s just so powerful.
Words cannot explain the sinking feeling I felt in my gut once I saw him back in the first room and realized the whole sequence was starting again.
dark souls baybeeeee
For such a simple video, there's tons of meaning & depth!
The music is brilliant
Just goes to show you that graphics don't matter....
It's me, running away from deadline
So far I have not heard 1 bad Lorn song, he's talented.
that unbelieavably beautiful comeback at 4:38 is legendary
I went to bed and turned on Lorn’s a/d album, which is fairly light ambient music. I felt asleep very fast. And then I started seeing the worst nightmare in my life. In one moment I woke up in cold sweat and in my headphones i heard this track playing. UA-cam just decided to recommend it to me ))
I would like to hear what you saw in your nightmare, if you can remember it that is.
I had a similar response to the bizzare soundtrack of "paranoia agent"
👀 which track?
Video of the decade.
Whoever made this video is a god. Love it. Fits the music perfectly.
It is so hard for me to put a finger on Lorn's music. If I was forced to choose a description, it would be like creating a video game starting with only the music
For the first time. I cried....in a long time.
There are no words to describe what it transmits.
this song back in the day helped me get pass through a really hardtime in my life, thanks Lorn ♥
You stare every second

I'm so glad i discovered this song years ago! That bass drop @ 0:30 has become my default bass test whenever I get new speakers/headphones. Absolutely earthshattering with the right setup
Goosebumps everytime!
meeeeeee too!
my interpretation: Even death will chase the man who chases nothing.
WhippedButta I like this one. Really
Perfect
That's deep!
That's beautiful. Forgive me but i'm gonna have to use those words from here on out. I instantly fell in love with them...
WhippedButta death will chase even the man who chases nothing.* if it was "even death" that would imply other things are chasing him, but it's more likely that nothing and no one would chase after him but death. After all the man who chases nothing is probably a broken one with no ambition or inspiration, and they don't draw people in, trust me on that one.
It's taken me a while to come to this conclusion but this might be my favorite bit of Lornage. The visual, the aural, the implications... Yeah, this is it.
Powerful.
This song makes me feel like I should live another day
Are you still going?

beautiful video. sat here hypnotized in a trance through the whole thing
Every once in a while, during my dangerous journeys through UA-cam, I'll stumble upon some kick ass artist like this!
This is amazingly dark. Love it.
Lorn suddenly shows in my recommendations, and I am not disappointed ❤
For some reason I keep coming to this artist 11 years later.
Lorn's music is like it takes you to the dark side of the world just so you can observe how it functions without getting infected to it.
Nice!
It's powerful music. Lorn is on a different level for sure. It sounds like it's from the future; it is actually over 10 years old now. 😮
one of the bests Short Movies i ever watched!!!!
So, after watching, and rewatching, and rewatching this video numerous times, I feel like I might have a personal idea of what this video could mean.
So, of course, we begin with the young boy (assuming he's a child for the sake of my argument, and his cat. At first, he seems to just be doing his thing, and his cat walks along with him.

My personal take on this is that the kid had a pet cat, and he was a naive, happy child until tragedy struck. The cat died somehow, and then the weight of inevitability and death began to settle on his shoulders. As he ignores his grief, he goes through life becoming hypersensitive to *noticing* tragedies, but apathetic to feeling any regard for them. However, he can't always run from the feeling, as the costant reminder of what started this (the constant phantom cats), as it appears in life at different stages. The unicorn, i also feel, stands for the ghost of what was once his childhood after the music becomes dramatic, and then the constant appearance of the grimm reaper is just showing how life is catching up, and so is death.
The fall could be either an existential crisis (and the rebirth could later be his child/next generation), or the boy dying and going through regret at life and realizing that it's over, and the train will arrive at its destination, and he's unable to stop it (and personally, i find this option better because that would also fit in with acid rain where the message seems similar, though its more of the fight against death and then accepting that she's dead, and that her life won't be fulfilled)

I've been on the verge of suicide for so long and I'm just now starting to listen to his music again. Your comment (along with this song playing) has somehow aided in reinforcement of the broken fortifications of my soul.
Thank you for sharing a small piece of your mind.
There is nothing I value more than one's mind, their consciousness, individuality, their pure thought.
Garbage fanfic
death is never alive for long, for when he is dead he is truly living.
Lorn's tracks are great at getting you to recall memories and escape reality at the same time.
The Blob that ate everything, he kept running until the world was swallowed whole. At the end he would look back and not see a blob of blackness chasing him, but death.
Life in a 5-Minute-Clip! 🤗😎
The simplicity and complexity in this work is beyong words.
Can you imagine actually playing a video game like this? Steps form and a slap is heard. A dark abyss chases you and the music makes you have this anxiety filled dread. Sounds amazing!!!
Do it.
Greatest music video ever. I get chills every time.
I too got goosebumps towards the end and climax. There is intensity behind the cute animation. Brilliant video for this song. Absolutely chilling, dramatic, and beautiful.
Bravo Lorn.
It’s like every time I keep coming back to lorn, every trip is better with lorn...
The reoccurring thought I have when I watch this vid is. "What ever darkness may bring, keep on marchin."
I remember discovering Lorn when I was 13 or 14, His music stuck with me and still is amazing to this day. Beautiful, this is art.
I saw death riding a unicorn... Greatest video ever.
Can we all just take a moment to recognize that death rode a unicorn to work?
BLOODY LEGEND.
I keep coming back to this song. Never fails to amaze me. Lorn is so underrated
This is the best music video I've seen in a long time, everything about it is fantastic. Awesome
This video... I'm speechless!!
The first time I heard this it made me so uneasy and I felt the urge to look over my shoulder like I was being watched. Music that can do that is powerful.
i love this video! to me this video represents someone facing a long dark troubled road completely lost and right when death is at hand he wakes up and realizes his past and over comes and rises to his greatest accomplishment and begins to live life to the fullest
maryann stone notice at the very end the cycle of darkness starts over so the protagonist really doesn't overcome anything.
Jason Brown probably because that's what we all end up doing, even after near death experiences (or other very meaningful events) where we change as people, we always end up settling back down into the same familiar routine for better or for worse
This is the type of music I like to go sleep to. I hope I have the weirdest and most vivid nightmare.
Lorn Is My New F*kin Hero !!
the breath in right before the drop was a really nice touch
we were you before you even existed
Persistence is existence.
...with a twist.
Just a masterpiece. This track kept me holding on when my granddad died.
I just love the graphics in this video. If this were made back in the 8-bit day this would have blown everyone's f'in minds
i have to admit, i really enjoyed this video. fit the song perfectly.
Epic. I love how social media opens doors to artists that are new to me.
I'm stooopid late to the Lorn party. But I'm glad I'm here now. It's kinda like life, ya know? You just get tired like, "Fuck, it'd be alright if I wasn't here anymore." And then you come across something awesome, and you look back on that thought like, "Shit, I would've missed THIS if that happened." And you than you're glad.
For a little while...
I love you Ninja Tune 🖤
