This is absolutely amazing. I can't forgive myself for not discovering about Les Friction sooner, because their work is absolutely jaw-dropping, legendary, and gives the word "epic" a whole new definition.
Honestly the song fits perfect for stellaris in general. Can think of it as a fallen empire talking to others, a devourer hive mind, or other perspectives
You know I did that. I associated this song with one of my made up characters, imagined a short origin story trailer for him with this playing in the background and drew it.
This song is one of the few songs I know of that can keep a constant feeling of dread, failure, and impending doom, throughout the whole song. While also having great lyrics to match it.
When ever I hear this song I can't help but imagine a cute fantasy like world singing the first part about them self and the second part is them singing to a cruel and brutally realistic real world, but when it come to the "your world will fail my love" and "you can't fill a hole with a million empty souls" this is the real world singing to the fantasy world, because even though every thing the united, wonderful and magical fantasy world sing about the real world is true, the real world is still the only one that actually exist, and even though it is indeed a "hole" the fantasy worlds inhabitants are all just imaginary beings made as an escape from the cruel reality, so empty souls that will never be able to fix what is wrong with the real world... Seriously I wish I could draw cause the visuals in my mind when I hear this is fucking amazing and I would love to share it with everyone else but this description is the best I can do at this point.
Yeah I suck at drawing but if I spend enough time trying to get it right eventually I do just takes awhile so u should go for it u might surprise ur self if u put in enough effort
What's crazy is that I've listened to Les Friction before I just never scoured their discography deep enough to find this until today. Scary how gems like this get so easily overlooked.
... This was unexpectedly profound. I mean, if you actually believe it- Perhaps we are so terrifying is because we are the shape of God And the idea of God in any religion or idea is p fuckin scary
Quake Lovecraft it depends on what you believe but even if your not religious or anything there are multiple reasons why we even terrify ourselves... You know your a terrifying creature when you fear yourself and your own kind
That's because humans come in all different shapes with different mentalities, while in Fantasy, no matter if futuristic fantasy or medieval fantasy, - aliens and other non human creatures are shown as one group, one mentality and characteristic. It's what makes humans so scary, we're unpredictable.
This song randomly popped up in my feed. I know the line in the song is "And inside this realm of shared understanding" (according to multiple lyric sites) I honestly keep hearing "And inside this realm of 'shit' understanding" Love it either way.
that feeling when you are unbeatable, unstoppable, incorruptible, unyielding force in stellaris... ding dong your planet is wrong. move away your race. this is now my mining facility.
I've got a hot take on this song... (I did have to look up the official lyrics though, this has quite a few wrong ones) This song almost seems to be about an alien invasion, where the enlightened are invading or destroying something quite below them. The song is definitely sung by someone who sees themselves as above "Your world". I would argue it's sung by a conqueror that considers themselves compassionate (Though if they are is up to you to decide), or perhaps more a prophet who is proclaiming the end of your civilization. "I come from a world where all alarms are false" (I come from a world where there are no real emergencies) I come from a world that only has one pulse (I come from a unified world) In all worlds nothing is immutable (We know that anything can be changed, and nothing has to be set) This is his belief that "Your world" can be changed. Compare this to "Your world". "You come from a world that suffers from neglect" (There is much in your world that has unmet needs) "Your world has got you alone and silent" (There is much individualism that is separating your people. There are people being silenced) Only one world is mentioned, so this is a single planet, ununified, with many peoples being silenced. Basically earth. So now the conqueror has made a judgement. "Your world will fail my love" (Your world and its ways are doomed) "It's far beyond repair" (There is nothing you can do to change this anymore) "Your world will fail my love It's all ready there" (Your doom is already beginning) Is this a story of the conqueror falling in love with an individual from this broken world? Or has he fallen for its people as a whole? You can decide. The change in the song's energy shares this conqueror's rage at this sight. Whoever he is singing to, he's trying to convince them that they can no longer fix themselves, but he has an answer. "Calm before the rage" (This is a false peace) "Hostage in a cage" (You're a prisoner in your own society) "Now its too late To wake up this place and bring you all back to life" (Things have spiraled out of control, you can no longer liberate yourselves) Is this a declaration that he can't change your world internally, suggesting that external force is now needed. "Your world will fail my love It's far beyond repair Your world will fail If you are alive you must run for you life" (Does he want you to run away from him and his destruction? Or toward him and his salvation?) "It's calm before the rage Hostage in a cage Your world will fail now What will it take just to wake up this place Bring you all to life" (Just what must I do to change this place, and fill you with life again?!) I feel like this could have three overall translations from this point of view. 1) Salvation: He is here to break apart this broken, irreparable world, and build it anew, filling its people with life again. If you realize this, run to me, before its destruction reaches you too) 2) Destruction: He is here to destroy your world, there is no helping your world anymore, its end is here. If you recognize this, run. 3) Doom: He is taking no action. He is condemning the world is impossible to repair, and the cause of its own destruction, which will eventually happen. I personally think the first option is the most likely, because the 2nd and 3rd options ignore his previous statement "In all worlds nothing is immutable", and he calls the individual or people of this broken world "my love", though I suppose this could be twisted into a dark form of mercy in the 2nd option. If this was a movie, I'm thinking... Someone is abducted by an advanced alien race. One of the aliens falls in love with that person, be it platonically or romantically, and the alien learns much about the world this person came from. The person is returned safely to their world, and a period of time passes. The person then receives a message from the alien, where he declares his judgements of this world, and that he can't stand to see this world suffer in this state any longer. The alien asks them to gather their loved ones, convince as many as they can to find safety, and await his return. The person now has to decide what to do with this information, and in their efforts to reach out to the ones they want protected, they find themselves being silenced by the officials of this broken world. They are on the run, they are a wanted person, they are considered a danger to the peace. In the end of this struggle, there are only a few who are willing to stand by this beaten, bruised, and shamed person, and they can barely hold onto hope themselves. ...and when all seems lost, the sky alights! Fighters and ships burn their way into the atmosphere, and proclamations are broadcasted in the native language from the largest ships. The siege of this world has begun. The streets are filled with panic, the world's military goes to war, but in the silence of their small shelter in the mountains, the person and the few loyal to them look to the skies with hope. Their salvation is here!
Beautiful. Simply, beautiful. Reminds me of that one movie where one guy wearing alien skin disguise in a covert mission to learn more about the alien race, only to fell in love with another alien and ends up betraying humanity... Except, you know, yours is cooler.
"They laughed at me when i warned them not to attack the human world. i was belittled and shamed as the earth fell beneath our fleets guns, but i got the last laugh when the humans assaulted our worlds, annihilated our fleets and destroyed our capital world. Those fools doomed our empire if only they had listened to the advice of one who had encountered them before."
To put this concept into a more detailed form: "They all laughed at me when I said it would be a mistake to assault Earth. I kept becoming the punchline, shamed and dishonored as human forces fell beneath our shells and lasers, to say nothing of the dropship deployments. Monuments crumbled, nations shattered, and any possibility of defeat seemed to do the same. But they didn't understand. Not a single one of them. You see, unlike the rest of the galaxy, humans had a quite distinct perspective of all this... They didn't have anywhere to go: It was total war. So, galactic laws of war either unknown or uncared for, their last fleets used any and all weapons aboard, turning our victory into total rout. One by one, our worlds fell, much to the horror of our generals. They knew by then they needed my experience, so my position in command was restored, but very much too late. The damage of their ignorance was already done, most of our territories already having European and American flags flying over them already. Funnily enough, the only territory we have left now is Earth, but their fleets are coming home, and we're beginning to lose against civilian rebels. And through all the bickering over who should replace our dead leader, I can't help but think to myself: If only they had listened to the one commander who'd fought humanity before..."
The real war will be won when we make them think like us or vice versa. What good will killing them do when most of are fucking people believe in an afterlife... they'll just be in heaven with you or in hell with the devil plotting their revenge so yeah kill them a thousand times there's nowhere for them to go but back to the drawing boards. That is unless you make them literally nothing but if you do that they'll just make some of us(if not all of us) literally nothing. It's better to believe nothing truly dies (like most of us do) as to avoid that catastrophic outcome.
So like, at the first half of the song I really was not into it. It seemed to not truly define its title and I wasn't really understanding it or getting into it. THEN OH THEN DID THE 2ND HALF COME ON AND now I think I'm brain dead. Worth it :D
Damn this comment is 3 years old but it aligns PERFECTLY with what I was thinking. I found this song on a "songs I'm listening to lately" list of an artist I follow, tried it out randomly and was not into its first half but totally taken aback by the epicness and feeling in the second half. +1 agreement from 3 years in the future :)
"That's planet 7 now, please tell me you got the frame right this time." "Uhm sir the shutterspeed was too slow, we missed the moment of impact again."
This song is talking about humanity. Our world has us controlled and silent about rampant corruption and oppression of anyone who is not rich. Our world has us alone and silent, isolated from each other as a result of our culture, either intentional or unintentional. Silent meaning we are all distracted from real issues and fighting each other. We can't do anything great with 7 billion empty souls, we are all depressed and dead inside, just trying to survive, one step away from destitution, we press on mindlessly. It is the calm before the rage, we are all hostages in the cage that is our stagnant system. Bring you all to life: "I don't want to survive, I wanna live!" -the captain in the movie 'Wall-E' If you are alive you must preserve your individuality. What will it take just to wake everyone up from this madness? And bring us all to amazing journey of satisfying life?!
*Listens to the first bit* "eh, this is lame" *sees that its by Les Friction* "wait it might be good* *listens to whole song* "THIS IS THE BEST SONG EVER*
"S-sir? Should we turn the ship, sir? That glass isn't rated for kenetic strikes of that magnitude... I-I know they're just rocks, sir, but they're already that far from the planet, and they're pretty big... Yessir, turning the ship, sir." ~Helmsman Dorkei
Lyrics: (sorry for any grammar or punctuation errors) I come form a world where all alarms are false I come from a world that only has one pulse In our world is nothing is immutable, our nature is gentle and the divine is mental And inside this realm of understanding, everyone falls when ideas are landing Oh my love All you need is what you want, what you want, what you want All you need is what you want, what you want, what you want All you need is what you want, what you want, what you want All you need is what you want, what you want, what you want You come form a world that suffers from neglect and all of least your world will not accept And in side this realm of understanding, everyone falls when ideas are landing, oh my love Your world has got you Controlled in silent You can't fill a hole with a billion empty souls, your world has got you alone and silent you can't fill a hole with a billion empty souls Your world will fail my love it's far beyond repair your world will fail my love its all ready there Calm before the rage, hostage in a cage now its to late to wake up this place and bring you all back to life Your world will fail my love its far beyond repair your world will fail and you all and love and you must run for you life Its Calm before the rage, a hostage in a cage your world will fail now what will it take you just to wake up from this place Bring you all to life
@@bethanydavis9023 Makes you realize it's the words of one from where everyone is one, and is speaking to another that is fragmented beyond all repair. Read the lyrics while listening reminded me of THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL (newer one...haven't seen the old one).
*My EXACT reaction.* **scrolling RU-vid, sees video** What? No. It can't be.. **watching video** Is.. is this real? NO! It can't be! **goes to check their Facebook page and proceeds to scream at the top of her lungs and hop up and down like a crazy lunatic** THEY'RE BACK!! THEY'RE ACTUALLY BACK!! OH MY FREAKING GOODNESS COMEBACK YEAR IS REAL!!! YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
It will stay broken and people will continue to be deluded that they're the number one species. Number one, and somehow we can't even formulate world peace or come to a mutual understanding. I'm no misanthrope, it's just things like these that remind me why I hate people. Always thinking they're above animals just because we could build nukes or turn an entire species into foodstuffs.
A perfect world with one mind, one pulse, and one sovereign power of mankind, established as the voice. Ideal in theory, massively bloody in reality. These are not gentle things. These are *docile*.
@@kikoolol740 It could very well mean that society is self-destructing, not the world. The picture is a metaphor, it isn't literally what the song is singing about. The planet, and its people, are 'self-destructing'.
I am really beginning to like Les Friction and they're music, the music is like perfect, its rock, but not hardcore rock, and it fills you with emotion unlike any other song
I was trying to search anything start with “your world..” and I found this amazing video. I think the atmosphere of this song would greatly fit with any video games dealing apocalypse as a theme.
That’s how I found them too! I’d personally recommend Dark Matter, World on Fire, This is a Call, Firewall, and Love comes home all by Les Friction and can all be found on this channel.
YES! I haven't talked about that series in years and years. Depending on who you think is singing the song this takes on such a different meaning for different characters.
And the powerful lonely warrior standed there from his ship Watching for years The planet so dear to him. Besides the inhabitants being so cruel to each others The warrior felt love for one maiden, a princess That is the only reason that prevents him from destroying so cruel planet. Years have passed and him watching his love But like a blade tearing his skin apart, the princess revealed herself and he could see When attaining the age of majority, she murdered her’s elders So the planet had a new queen The warrior haunted by his falses feelings, suddenly became beserk Love gave way to hate, and now he knows: “I cant fill a whole with a billion empty souls” The ship energized and shot a lightning to that people cruel’s home And in some minutes that place would be done He cried as he saw his love running to save her life But that place is far beyond repair And now Your World will fail my love.
If sin and hate werent around to make humans idiots and vermin, maybe things would be better. But then again how would we improve upon things and make things better if everything is perfect without sin?
This song could be use in a halo infinite trailer for the game or movie for the Spartans, odsts, and marines on the ring fighting against the banished.
@@boxcarz to bad the games 0 fun unless you know a lot of friends that have it. AI is trash and to many meme/meta builds in open matches the last game the guy named his empire cancer and it was.
3 years ago: In our world, nothing is immutable; The divine is mental; You can't fill a hole with a billion empty souls. Today, (early Nov, 2020): In our world, our leader is immutable; The divide is mental; You can't fill a hole with two-forty-thousand Covid souls.
I love les-friction and jenny music and fearless soul they have everything you would need to make an amazing artists music as well as the words that I believe is very important that it's all master pieces in each song it's my daily fix lol love and light God bless you all 😇🙏🤗💖👍🥇🏅👈🇬🇧
