Lyrics for those in need: Tiny life afraid to leave its shell, I keep on staying in this hole I've dug myself. My little lungs keep breathing, heart keeps beating...... I'm never leaving...... Let me be forgotten bit by bit. I really just don't give a damn about my self. Just let me waste away, I'll fade away...... I'll go quietly...... The world is harsh, there's nothing for me. Let me hide here. I'll be quiet, I'll be quiet, I'll be quiet...... Let me lie here, let me stay. I never asked for any of my life to be this way... Go ahead, keep searching, let me lie here...... I've found my place....... I'm not even tired, I'm just done. I'm done with trying to make peace with every single ghost. Nothing will ever be the same... And I imagine it would be...... And everything is all the same. Everything is all the same. Everything is all the same. Everything is all the same. Everything is all the same. Everything is all the same.
"There's a lot of things.. but.. sometimes I feel like all these things is the same thing and then I don't want to climb the thing... or maybe there's too much thing... I.. don't know if I can handle that much thing. Maybe I'll just sit here.. forever and not climb anymore things.. I don't want to climb the thing." This song speaks to me on a personal level. Except I don't have a shell... ._.
It's a metaphor for how we have so many things to give us attention, that when we realize how little attention we can pay to anything we have already lost our grip on life that we want to give up and hide from the world. (_Or_ it's just a random video. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Just gonna put this out there: When it eats it's shell it's because it's low on calcium and thas not good. Give it cuttlefish bone, you can buy it at pet shops.
Lyrics: Tiny life afraid to leave it's shell I keep on standing in this hole I've dug myself My little lungs keep breathing, heart keeps beating I'm never leaving ... Let me be forgotten bit by bit I really just don't give a damn about myself Just let me waste away, I'll fade away I'll go quietly ... The world is harsh, there's nothing for me Let me hide here, I'll be quiet (I'll be quiet, I'll be quiet) Let me lie here, let me stay I never asked for any of my life to be this way Go ahead, keep searching, let me lie here I found my place ... I'm not even tired, I'm just done I'm done with trying to make peace with every single ghost Nothing will ever be the same as I imagined it would be 'Cause everything is all the same (Everything is all the same x5)
So... is this what Vihart imagines what snails lives are like? That snail is so deep and depressing. Also I think it's just so hilarious how such a deep and emotional song can be applied to snails.
Amazing! Snails are so awesome. Their slow, primitive bodies, harness the physics of fluid mechanics to move in ways that are not possible for other animals. Their eyes, totally different from other species in the way they move and work, are yet so similar to ours in structure, even if they evolved independently. Their tiny bodies, with their tiny nervous system, use those tiny eyes, to look at us, to recognize us, to react to us. And in their behavior, they are not so different from us. Find, assess, explore, venture. The same drive that moved us until now, is moving them forward, each and every day of their life. It's amazing how alike we are. And you know what else is amazing? How well they go boiled, served with sour cream and garlic sauce.
I want Emily Graslie and Vi Hart in the same room talking about snails. That would be (in the words of the terrible RU-vid comments Emily effectively mocked) t"he weirdest lesbian porn ever".
I don't know how to explain this without writing a 5 paragraph essay, but condensed... Her words and the melody together were haunting... Anyone else agree, or is it just me?(I'm a poet and I don't know it)
Piboy430 Of course I watch ViHart, everyone cool watches ViHart! She, CGP Grey, Vlogbrothers and Extra Credits have all been big inspirations of mine! Also, glad you like my videos ^^
Once she made a video on how she deals with RU-vid comments, and it included not caring too much. Either way, i'm really pumped up over what'll happen when the countdown hits zero.
I like how the armchair psychiatrists have looked at this quirky video with a hauntingly beautiful song in it and because it doesn't fit into their narrow box of what they consider to be a "normal video" have come to the conclusion that ViHart either needs help or must be on drugs. This video was really well edited and had a really intriguing composition in it, there is no way someone that was high on drugs could have written it. And if it is to eccentric for you that you have concluded from it that Vi "needs help" then go back to watching "cats riding Roombas" videos.
This was a piece of art, made to make you feel feelings, and for most people I'm sure it did a really good job. People who think that this video was some kind of cry for help have not been watching vihart for very long, and probably haven't had friends like her before IRL. That being said, she probably does do at least psychedelics, there have been a number of studies showing correlation between increased drug use and intelligence and she is a smart lady. Plus Mushrooms are fun.
tstartrekdude What gets me is the arrogance and ignorance of all the people thinking there are 'warning signs' in this video. ViHart isn't making these videos in secret, she's famous for them meaning her employer, family and real world friends will all be aware of them. If there was "something" to be concerned about then these people would all be aware of it and would have helped her long before some RU-vid viewer picked up on "signs" they inferred from watching an original, deliberately quirky and unconventional video. It is crazy that people somehow think they are "the one" who has spotted something. A person on drugs couldn't begin to make this video and someone crying out for help wouldn't make a video on snails. Just because something isn't normal or someone behaves in an eccentric manner does not mean they need an intervention to give then help to start functioning like a cookie "normal" human being. Being weird means you have an identity.
What if same stuff that cleans sharpie ink from skin is also good for getting snail slime off violins? And, taking a clue from another video, I'm going to speculate that the amazing substance is: Toothpaste.
I have a violin, but no longer play. No one cares to listen, and I have many more things to do than that. Canto harmónico, for example. What a delightful trio of videos! I am enchanted. ...
Tiny life afraid to leave its shell, I keep on staying in this hole I've dug myself. My little lungs keep breathing, heart keeps beating I'm never leaving Let me be forgotten bit by bit. I really just don't give a damn about myself. Just let me waste away, I'll fade away I'll go quietly The world is harsh, there's nothing for me. Let me hide here. I'll be quiet, I'll be quiet, I'll be quiet. Let me lie here let me stay. I never asked for any of my life to be this way Go ahead, keep searching let me lie here I've found my place I'm not even tired I'm just done I'm done with trying to make peace with every single ghost Nothing will ever be the same And I imagine it would be And everything is all the same. Everything is all the same Everything is all the same Everything is all the same Everything is all the same Everything is all the same.
Crazy snail is one of my favorite RU-vid series. I hope we will see more of Crazy Snail's adventures and gain more insight into the depths of snail emotion. Snemotion. Snailmotion?
I love this voice she uses for the snail! Any time I need to smile, I watch the how to draw a circle video with a similar voice, it's so funny. Also I think she looks kinda like Eva Green. Beautiful!
Vi is a genius, but her snail voice... it captures everything that makes Vi special, including especially her comedic gift. I am on a plate, I should eat myself. yum yum yum yum yum....
The Adventures of Snail! In episode three Snail despairs of ever finding New Thing and turns, um, their shell on the world only to end up catching a buzz on a violin being played by Vi. Talk about Different Thing! Those tentacles def could not deal with the vibration -- ouch! Great cinematography, editing, composition and everything. Moar Snail!
Snails are pretty cute. I had two on my car hood recently driving through the city and it was great to watch them stretch their heads out in unison to look at the street lights going by as I drove along. Somehow you knew this was amazing for them, they'd never seen anything like it. There are things like this which link all creatures regardless of their so called intelligence.
Wow, all of my thought and feelings about where I'm at in life right now were just summed up in a video about a fucking snail. I don't know if I should be comforted or embarrassed.
Don't worry, vi lovers. Art is like a pressure valve. As long as the steam is venting from the right place, you know the machine is working fine. This video feels like it has to do with burnout. If that's true, you're in good company. Last thought: sounds like Regina Spektor meets Throwing Muses. Great vid.
This vidoe came out eight days before the cat I'd had for almost two decades had to be put down. I'd had cats before and since, but that cat and I had the bond most cat owners are privileged to have once in their lives. The loss of him was as physical as a whole entire person and for some weird reason, a song about snails on repeat got me through the worst of it. But this is the first time I've listened to it since.
Heres a funfact: So in english you have Snail and Slug, but in german Snail is schnecke and Slug is Nacktschnecke, which literally just translated into "naked snail".
