IKE EVELAND - BLUE LIGHT 【OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO】 

Another banger from Ike Eveland!!! This sounds and looks incredible!

🙏Praise the Eveland🙏 1000000% banger 1000000% vocals 1000000% everything

You did an amazing job Ike !! So proud of you 💙 Also, the artist did an amazing job as well, VISUALS WERE SO POGGGG

Ike: is a renowned musician with several songs with literally millions of views, one song literally written, sang, played AND recorded by himself, which most of us couldn’t even begin to imagine doing Ike: Ike: I feel like I’m wasting my time and I feel inadequate what low self esteem does to a mf

Take me, senpai 😍

THE POWER OF THIS MAN. He's so talented 😭

Personally, the song itself felt quite deep. Not being brave enough to make that step but neither to brave enough to end everything. Not unlucky enough but neither lucky enough. Watching everything lead to an unwanted ending but not doing anything to stop it. Stuck between decisions and wonder if this is just the way that was meant to be. Enduring everything and understanding that life is just like this but still hoping for a better ending. Be the person you choose to be and the way you choose to succeed, life is too short to grief.

4:31 I JUST REALISED THE TEARS ARE IN BEAT WITH THE DRUMS OMG

Sick song Ike! Love it! 💙

YOU ARE INSANE, I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS ; A ; !!!

still hoping for this to drop on spotify so I can make it my top 1 for 2024's wrapped fr

Lyric: Ever since one fated day My world’s been fading to gray Despite the unclouded sky Staining the Earth with its dye Afraid of taking the leap Or to forevermore sleep With cowardice as my guard I’ll keep enduring these scars A spiral without an end To solitude I’m condemned Barely able to recall How full of joy I once was My life now follows this trend Of every day that I spend Staring into a screen And simply daring to dream Oh ~ how fucking foolish that I used to be Why did I ever think forgiveness would be granted to me Sealed within an embrace of chilling contempt It’s clear for all to see This is where I’ve always belonged The future I’ve chased Of which I’ve dreamt Begins its slow entropy A fate so cruely prolonged Another sunrise to greet Another taste to defeat The cycle’s once more disturbed And time feels all the more blurred To be alive with no goal Is slowly draining my soul If my whole life’s been in vain I think I might go insane Say, what else is left But remaining as a slave to monotony Say, what is my cause How long will this nightmare go on Sealed within an embrace of chilling contempt It’s clear for all to see This is where I’ve always belonged The future I’ve chased Of which I’ve dreamt Begins its slow entropy A fate so cruely prolonged Just let me feel at peace I wonder if I were to take that one final step Will the sky let me sleep Chained inside what I once thought would become my sanctuary The shackles rust yet never break Forced to see myself torn By which path I’ll pursue Maybe I’ll be reborn And return as somebody new And if that were to be I could make up for everything I lack So the next time the sky smiles at me I can smile back

IKE EVELAND I SWEAR TO GOOOD

Ike: I'm a novelist Also Ike: a singer, a music producer, a metal screamer, a guitarist he's a prodigy, istg

I NEED THIS TO BE ON SPOTIFY!!!!!

What continues to blow my mind is this entire experience is the creative output of two people. Two people. For a whole-ass original song with animated MV. Madness.

THIS IS SUCH A JAM IKE OMGGGGGG Your skills are absolutely unmatched and the emotion through your lyrics and singing hit me deep, will definitely have this on replay

Lyrics: AMAZING Video: AMAZING Vocals: AMAZING Everything else: AMAZING Ike: AMAZING

Wait, what the...... Composition, lyrics, arrangement, recording, mixing, mastering, vocals ALL BY IKE THE MAN OF SEX HIMSELF????????

Hi ike, I just wanted to let you know that because of you, I've restarted taking vocal lessons. Back when I was in school, I used to study vocal music because I loved singing so much. However, after that, due to heavy academic workload and life pressures, I gave up on vocal training. I abandoned my dream of pursuing singing. Although now I have grown up and have a job, I never thought I would start singing again before I met you. You've always encouraged everyone to give singing a try and not to give up on it. So, I gathered the courage to pick up my dream again. Even though I don't seem to have much talent in singing, I still feel happy when I sing. Thank you so much for everything you've done for me. You've been there for me through many difficult times, and I'll always be here to support you. Also, blue light was my favorite song last year, thank you for your incredible work💙

THE FACT THAT IKE DID EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE ART LIKE OML THIS MAN'S REALLY SO 🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌

最高でした。

The song is very sad... But then there's a hope, a glimmer of light at the end, you know, some may be too afraid to call it hope but reaching that light alone is a bravery on its own. Thank you for sharing your art that you pour so much of yourself to us, Ike Eveland. Forever grateful to know you 💙 Also kudos to nahusnab who did a fantastic job visualizing the song. There's so much thoughts put into making this possible. I see this song more of a a story in a form of art, so when I see it and listen to it, I try to understand the story. It did touch me and move me in many ways. Sorry for rambling in the comment lol. I really appreciate this masterpiece so much.

［BLUE LIGHT］(ブルーライト) 日英歌詞 start 始まり 0:43 Ever since one fated day (ある運命の日以来) My world’s been fading to gray (僕の世界は灰色に染まっていく) Despite the unclouded sky (曇りのない空なのに) Staining the Earth with its dye (地球を染め上げる) 0:51 Afraid of taking the leap (飛躍することを恐れて) Or to forevermore sleep (あるいは永遠に眠り続ける) With cowardice as my guard (怯懦(きょうだ)のまま) I’ll keep enduring these scars (この傷跡に耐え続けよう) 0:59 A spiral without an end (終わりのない螺旋(らせん)) To solitude I’m condemned (孤独を宣告される) 1:03 Barely able to recall (かろうじて思い出すことができるのは) How full of joy I once was (かつてどれほど喜びに満ちていたかを) 1:07 My life now follows this trend (僕の人生は今、このような流れになっている) Of every day that I spend (毎日毎日) Staring into a screen (画面を見つめては) And simply daring to DREAM (ただひたすら夢を見る) 1:17 Oh, how fucking foolish that I used to be (ああ、僕はなんと愚かなことをしたのだろう) Why did I ever think forgiveness would be granted to me (なぜ許しが得られると思ったのだろう) 1:30 Sealed within an embrace of chilling contempt (冷ややかな侮蔑の抱擁の中に封じ込められた) It’s clear for all to see (誰の目にも明らかなように) This is where I’ve always belonged (ここが僕の居場所だった) The future I’ve CHASED (追いかけてきた未来) Of which I’ve DREAMT (夢見た未来は) Begins its slow ENTROPY (ゆっくりとしたエントロピーの始まりだ) A fate so cruely prolonged (残酷なほど長引く運命) 2:19 Another sunrise to greet (また朝日が昇る) Another taste of defeat (もう一つの敗北を味わう) The cycle’s once more disturbed (サイクルは再び乱れ) And time feels all the more blurred (そして、時間はより曖昧に感じられる ) 2:27 To be alive with no goal (目標もなく生きていることが) Is slowly draining my soul (徐々に魂が抜けていく) If my whole life’s been in vain (もし、僕の人生が無駄なものであったなら) I think I might go INSANE (気が狂ってしまうかもしれない) 2:35 SAY, what else is left (他に何がある？) But remaining as a slave to monotony (単調さの奴隷として残るしかない) SAY, what is my cause? (僕の原因は何なのだろう？) How long will this nightmare go on? (この悪夢はいつまで続くのだろう) 2:50 Sealed within an embrace of chilling contempt (冷ややかな蔑みの抱擁の中に封じ込められた) It’s clear for all to see (誰の目にも明らかなように) This is where I’ve always belonged (ここが僕の居場所だった) The future I’ve c CHASED (追いかけてきた未来) Of which I’ve DREAMT (夢見た未来は) Begins its slow ENTROPY (ゆっくりとしたエントロピーの始まりだ) A fate so cruely prolonged (残酷なほど長引く運命) 3:37 Just let me feel at PEACE (ただ、安らぎを感じさせてくれる) 3:46 I wonder if I were to take that one final step (最後の一歩を踏み出せば) Will the sky let me sleep? (空は僕を眠らせてくれるのだろうか) 4:05 Chained inside what I once thought (かつて思っていたものに縛られ) Would become my sanctuary (僕の聖域になると思っていた) The shackles rust (足かせは錆びつく) Yet never break (でも決して壊れない) 4:25FORCED to see my self TORN (自分自身が引き裂かれるのを見ることを余儀なくされる) By which path I’ll pursue (どの道を進むか) Maybe I’ll be reborn (生まれ変わることができるかもしれない) And return as somebody new (新しい自分に生まれ変わる) 4:45And if that were to be (そうなれば) I could make up for everything I lack (自分に足りないものを補うことができる) So the next time the sky smiles at me (だから今度、空が僕に微笑んでくれたら) I can smile back (僕は微笑み返すことができる)

has gotta be the saddest, toe-curling, mind boggling, hyperventilating, overdosing, warming, burning, eye tearing, hair pulling, mouth gaping, world changing, revolutionary and eargasmic original song my ears have ever tasted before. KUDOS IKE! 💙

Ike's voice is always so clean but still somehow sounds like its breaking. The screams honestly make me shocked because of how aggresive but calm they sound and how perfectly they match the music and lyrics, i swear this man is good at everything 😭

THE WOMAN WAS TOO STUNNED TO SPEAK Ike personality: 🤗🤭💖💕🌼 THE SONG : ⛓️🎸💥 ... MARRY ME

It feels like there is a deeper meaning here.. both this song and Chronos are about being helpless as time advances, and being afraid to end the pain while also fearing what may happen if you attempted to reach out for help. I may be reading too much into it, but... if i'm not, know you aren't alone, Ike. It may feel hopeless- but as shown in the end of the video here, freedom can be grasped so long as one can take the first step to recovery. It'll be okay. We won't abandon you to that prison- we'll remain by your side through thick and thin. If anything horrible is happening in your life, or anyone's here for that matter.. just remember the darkest nights always lead to the brightest sunrises. Stay strong, and you will be able to find the happiness you seek.

ROUGH LYRICS Ever since one fated day My world’s been fading to gray Despite the unclouded sky Staining the Earth with its dye Afraid of taking the leap Or to forevermore sleep With cowardice as my guard I’ll keep enduring these scars A spiral without an end To solitude I’m condemned Barely able to recall How full of joy I once was My life now follows this trend Of everyday that I spend Staring into a screen And simply daring to DREAM! OH HOW FUCKING FOOLISH THAT I USED TO BE WHY DID I EVER THINK FORGIVENESS WOULD BE GRANTED TO ME Sealed within an embrace of chilling contempt It’s clear for all to see This is where I’ve always belonged The future I’ve chased of which I’ve dreamt Begins its slow entropy A fate so cruelty prolonged Another sunrise to greet Another taste of defeat The cycle’s once more disturbed And time feels all the more blurred To be alive with no goal Is slowly draining my soul If whole life’s been in vain I think I might go INSANE! SAY! WHAT ELSE IS LEFT BUT REMAINING AS A SLAVE TO MONOTONY SAY! WHAT IS MY CAUSE HOW LONG WILL THIS NIGHTMARE GO ON! Sealed within an embrace of chilling contempt It’s clear for all to see This is where I’ve always belonged The future I’ve chased of which I’ve dreamt Begins its slow entropy A fate so cruelty prolonged JUST LET ME FEEL AT PEACE I WONDER IF I WERE TO TAKE THAT ONE FINAL STEP WILL THE SKY LET ME SLEEP Chained inside What I once thought would become my sanctuary My shackles rust yet never break FORCED To see myself torn By which path I’ll pursue Maybe I’ll be reborn And return as somebody new And if that were to be I could make up for everything I lack So the next time the sky smiles at me I can smile back..

Kicking, screaming, gritting my teeth at how fucking amazing it is that he produced this all on his own!!! The harsh and clean vocals!!! The guitars!!! GODDAMN I want to be able to create something like this 😭😭

"Another sunrise to greet, another taste to defeat" god I love that line

A ORIGINAL SONG BY NO OTHER THAN IKE EVELAND LETS FRIKING GO! 🥳We absolutely winning in life and living in the right timeline. With the hype this song is getting already i sure is gonna be a absolute banger were we all gonna ascend to heaven listening to the best virtual novelist sing. TYSM in advance for this to Ike and all. 💙7 Edit: Its a banger, a absolute, complete banger. Ike and his team did a wonderfull masterpiece and we blessed to be able to listen to it.

The credits look like a high school group project: only one person did the work Ikey Wikey our talented blue boy!!! So excited for this 💙💙💙💙💙💙

it's been 13 days and Blue Light still hits so HARD.... Ikey you really created a masterpiece with your own two hands right there

กรี้ดมันออกมาค่ะ!!! ผู้ชายคนนี้คือเทพพระบุตรชัดๆ!!! ขอบคุณที่เกิดมานะคะสุดหล่อ😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🛐🛐🛐🛐

I'm literally crying. I wanna give him everything he's ever wanted. This world doesn't deserve him. We're so blessed that Ike Eveland is here with us.

I can just say "BOY SLAY" but I also may be overthinking the lyrics and the mv.. I hope that Ike and everyone in Niji, or even everyone who's following a pattern of being a happy entertainer, actually take good care of their mental state. I hope all of them understand that THEM being OKAY is a priority to the major of the fans. Ike, you make feel alive and I hope you are doing okay. I love you (platonically).

I tried singing this song today, and my throat didn't die, but that's besides the point. Ike, you were the one that gave me courage to do my first metal song, which is this one. My gratitude for that is immeasurable, and the video kind of sucks in the metal parts, since the ending parts of the metal go on for a lot longer. Now this isn't about me, but you. Thank you for giving this song to all of your fans Ike, it truly is a pleasure to our voice, ears, and eyes.

It's been 7 months, and i am stll incredibly hooked up Ike your songs make my heart so full of warmth I really love them !

Just before the premiere of Blue Light, I was sad that it seems that fans can’t do much for our oshi when they’re in a hard time. You are our hope in the dark, but what can we do for you? So when I saw the final course of the MV, I cried so hard… Does that mean we can somehow help you feel better when you need it? I’m not arrogantly considering us as your hope in the dark, but we do successfully pass some of our love to you… right? Also, I’m so glad to see Vox really caught you TSKR milord!!! You are the best Quilldren on the world!!! I hope everyone in the world will treat you gently and kindly! Ikey Wikey my best oshi

Ike I can feel your thoughts and emotions in this song you created. Thank you for sharing your talent to us. I am so happy you are here with us and also so proud of your accomplishments. I am on the verge of crying when I saw the Quilldren (us) in the MV. We are so happy that our existence also made you smile☺️ Otsu👏👏👏

"To be alive with no goal is slowly draining my soul" the lyrics hit me, the emotion, everything

i swear ike is the best artist in nijisanji (def not biased)

the vocal control in this is INSANE. esp at 2:40 jesus christ

I'M SO EXCITED TO HEAR IKE'S ORIGINAL SONG, AND THE QUILLDRENS ARE NOT PREPARED FOR THIS! Also, Im transcribing the lyrics after the music video ends

Ike is a genius fr. I like how the last note doesn't resolve, it gives you that feeling of moving forward and things not being over yet. A sense of hope and anticipation. Amazing song 👏👏

IKE NEVER DISAPPOINTS

GOD IKE YOU SPOIL US SO MUCH AAAAAAAAAAAAA LETS GOOOOOOOO

Ike did everything himself. What a legend!

holy shit, he really just said "let me do everything myself" this is such an amazingly composed, mixed and mastered song!! insane skills, sasuga ike eveland

The fact that Ike himself was behind every step of the making of the song makes it one of the most impressive pieces of work I've ever heard from a VTuber...and the overall quality makes it the most impressive thing I've ever heard from any solo artist in recent memory. And I won't even mention the fact that I myself have been through the songwriting process more than 300 times over a span of more than 8 years, yet all of the products of every repetition of that cycle combined don't even hold a candle to this.

Your vocal control is fucking insane. This song is so good. You're so talented. At 2:41, I got chills when you said the third syllable of "Monotony" without screaming. Something about that seriously just hit me like a sack of bricks. Also, the part of the song that's softer, starting around 4:05? MY GOD. This instrumental is genuinely a tearjerker The MV is so gorgeous too UGH

the emotion ike carries in his voice is unlike anyone else ive heard. like it’s so raw and real that i find myself getting chills or feeling emotional without fail. everytime he sings it’s like he’s telling a story.

I love how this mans just so calm and happy all the time then in his covers and songs just- *inner demons released*

Lyrics (not so sure at 3:53 btw) Ever since one fated day my world's been fading to gray Despite the unclouded sky Staining the Earth with its dye Afraid of taking the leap Or to forevermore sleep With cowardice as my guard I'll keep enduring these scars A spiral without an end To solitude I'm condemned Barely able to recall How full of joy I omce was My life now follows this trend Of every day that i spend Staring into a screen And simply daring to DREAM OH HOW FUCKING FOOLISH THAT I USED TO BE WHY DID I EVER THINK FORGIVENESS WOULD BE GRANTED TO ME Sealed Within an embrace of chilling contempt Its clear for all to see This is where I've always belonged The future I've Chased Of which I've Dreamt Begins its slow entropy A fate so cruely prolonged Another sunrise to greet another taste of defeat The cycle's once more disturbed And time feels all the more blurred To be alive with no goal Its slowly draining my soul If my whole life's been in vain I think i might go I N S A N E SAY WHAT ELSE IS LEFT BUT REMAINING AS A SLAVE TO MONOTONY SAY WHAT IS MY CAUSE HOW LONG WILL THIS NIGHTMARE GO ON Sealed Within an embrace f chilling contempt Its clear for all to see This is where I've always belonged The future I've Chased Of which I've Dreamt Begins its slow entropy A fate so cruely prolonged JUST LET ME FEEL AT P E A C E I WONDER IF I WERE TO TAKE THAT ONE FINAL STEP WILL THE (sky? Not sure) LET ME SLEEP Chained inside what I once thought would become my sanctuary The shackles rust yet never break Forged To see myself torn By which path I'll pursue Maybe I'll be reborn And return as somebody new And if that were to be I could make up for everything I lack So the next time the sky smiles at me I can smile back

OMG ORIGINAL SONG AAAAAAAAAA the credit is absolute insane!! composition, lyrics, arrangement, recording, mixing, mastering, vocals all from the same person……?? OH MY FRIKING GODDDD

I needed a lot of time to let this song sink in because it plunged my mental state into a dark place. Like a painfully slow, inevitable caress, guiding my line of sight to look straight at the horrifyingly endless void deep inside me. I never acknowledged it, in hopes of "faking it until I make it". Instead, it's...a fate so cruelly prolonged. That lyric hit me very hard. Even it makes my heart sink every time, I can't help listening. Despite the dark meaning, your songs always put up a fight despite the odds. Always. Please keep fighting. I know you keep saying lyrics are not where your strength lies, but the INCREDIBLE attention to detail cannot escape my ears. How you make the piano sound like a cry in a big empty room. I am scared to say anything more because I am not good in music but there is so much more. Thank you for your very thoughtful musical skill, Ike Eveland.

WHY AM I ONLY HEARING THIS NOW THIS IS THE KIND OF MUSIC THAT I LOVE 😭😭

Found this while listening to the song “Dupe - Balling” 🫡🫡

Jesus, Ike. These lyrics are grabbing my soul, yanking at it, forcing me to look at myself. Just like a mirror. It's been a while since a song has touched me so deep inside.

Praying everyday for the streaming services release

I just want to sing this song alone in a soundproof room and screm every word it says SO LOUD till my voice is gone for a whole week. This is how i feel whenever i listen to this song. Ike... You made a masterpiece... I never listen to this genre of music... Now i listen to it only with your voice... Prayage 🙏🏻. Amen.

God this song is going to feel even more painful if/when Ike graduates. Interpreting the lyrics as what his experience has been being a v-tuber, and not to mention the chained and rebirth part of the lyrics, it feels heart-wrenching. Lots of love and support Ike! Hoping for a bright future and nothing but joy for you.

LITERALLY PROUD OF YOU MAN

Hi, Ike I'm a new fan and didnt watch any vtubers before you. But my friend said there was an EN vtuber who did covers of heavy rock songs and can do metal scream. I love metal music, so I decided to check you out. I really like your songs. I'm watching your past streams and enjoy them too. Please keep up the good work!

Legit one of my favorite songs ever now, the mixing is IMMACULATE, the singing is perfect and super melodic, the guitar, bass and drums sound so fucking powerful (+ the playing is amazing), and the song is very emotional with just enough variety and that half time legit made me cry Even without trying to get technical (I'm a noob), this is an absolute banger

Sasuga Ike Eveland, this never disappoints Edit after premier: SHEEESH HE POPPED OFF, can’t wait to stream this

NO WAY!!! HE ACTUALLY MADE AN ORIGINAL SONG?!?! I CANNOT WAIT TO BE AT THE PREMIER!!!

Personal opinion. Don’t want to get in trouble. But I wish this was on Spotify.

Ikey, I think you are a wonderful and talented man. The song is so good… but the lyrics… I was feeling like that 3 years ago. Now, I overcame severe depression and I'm controlling my anxiety really well. I found my purpose in this world and even if there’s negative points in everything, there are also good point on everything and everyone 'cause that’s how life is. If it was perfectly fine we wouldn’t be brave, empathetic, humble, or even intelligent. I changed the title of my past. It was "trauma" but now is "experience". I'm really happy now, Ikey. And I know that you’ll feel like this one day. Keep working hard. Keep getting out of your comfort zone. Put your time and energy in stuff that are REALLY worth it. You won’t see the rainbow right away, sweetheart. It will take a while, maybe more or less than my experience. But it will come, Ikey. I thought it wouldn’t but it did 'cause I decided to keep living, 'cause I kept working hard and did things the right way. We love you, Ikey. We really do! And for the Quilldren who feel like this, the message is for y’all too and whoever reads my text. Everything’s going to be ok. 🐛🦋

Eveland-P、あまりにも天才すぎる！！サビ前の力強いデスボと、サビのキレイな高音のギャップがたまらなく大好きだ〜！！ そして、最後がもう…やばい…！！

I wish this was on spotify so that I can listen to this repeatedly HAHASGSHA this is so addicting I keep coming back here

Everytime I listen to Blue light, it feels like i just started my villain arc. I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH!!!

Is it just me or does he sound like Mafumafu in the high parts of the song-- Anyways I love this song! honestly the only song I can listen to that has screamo in most of it's parts

First of all, excuse me if I have bad english lol. I wonder if you lived in a heavy depression, on a constant internal emptiness, if the days passed and you were unable to feel enthusiasm for life or pleasure for things you liked. I'm just wondering, there are just my assumptions. Whatever, I'd like to tell you I still feel that way sometimes, but even that you still manage to make me smile, laugh and have good moments. Sometimes I just listen to songs from your first karaoke, and I feel better because your voice transmits me warmth and calms me down (screams too, I sleep listening to metalcore so...). For all this and more, thank you, thank you for your time and dedication, for your love and kindness, thank you above all for being you, and I hope you are having the most beautiful life possible. Love from Spain

WHY HAVE I NEVER LISTEND TO THIS BEFORE WTH. So sad this is so underrated tho.

もう声が楽器なんよ 底のない海でどうしようもない感情と溺れていくみたいで好きだ……かっこいいのに儚い Your voice is your instrument now. I like it like I'm drowning in a bottomless sea with helpless emotions. ...... cool yet fragile

SSSSSSSEEEEEEEAAAALLLLDDDDDDDD WITHIN AN EMBRACEEEEEEEEE OF CHILLINGGGGGGGGGGGG CONTEMPTTTTTTTTTTTT ITS CLEAR FOR ALLLLLLL TO SEEEE THIS IS WHERE IVE ALWAYS BELONGGGGGGGGEEEEDDDDDDD THE FUTURE IVE CHASEEEEEDDDDDDDD OFFF WHICHHHH IVEEEEEEEEEEEEE DREAMMMMMMTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT BEGIN ITS SLOW ENTROPYYYYYYYYYYY A FATE SO CRUELY PROLONGGGGGGGGGEDDDDDDDDDDDDD (bro this is a banger istg)

Easily one of the Peak EN original 😭

This piece is incredibly powerful, I hadn't notice that Ike was the one to compose and create the lyrics for it -- and I couldn't help but want to express the affections that I've felt throughout this five minutes. The power in Ike's voice is, of course, an extremely important aspect to the experience -- but more for me was the lyrics, the composition itself. The initial strings that filter into the rock style, the calm to the chaos. My interpretations are perhaps over analysis of the overall piece, but nonetheless one that I wanted to express -- initially is the feeling of creeping dread, as anxiety usually comes in. The tightening of the chest and the body reacting the mind is typically felt but not visible, as most emotions are. The blue light of the screens do feel quite blinding many times, staining our eyes with light that was never meant to be used for, and the shackles of the creeping symptoms of imposter syndrome pulling in. The point that got me to tear up silently, was the very end. The lack of completion, because for Ike, there is no written ending. As true to his position as a novelist, one's story isn't prewritten, it's filled with the experiences, emotions, cognitions, and all other senses that we feel as humans throughout our life. The endless dread and anxiety will always be there, unfortunately, however it's up to the individual to see if one is willing to find peace with it. Be proud, keep your chin up, and express who you are most comfortable being -- because when one sees others in a comfortable position, one can't help but feel the same sense of comfort in their own way. To Ike, thank you for this powerful piece, and I look forward to the continuation of your journey dear c:

This is whole song is so fucking deep and fantastically executed while being an absolute BANGER - seriously, the arrangement, the visuals, your fantastic vocals…?! I am living for this, it’s just too damn good! Kudos Ike, I hope you’re nothing short of fucking proud of yourself, this is a masterpiece! ♥️

I come back here to watch this daily.

This song is so incredibly underrated

So talented! Love you ike. I hope to see your songs on Spotify soon.

the metal screams are just perfect.

He made this song himself no wonder he is going insane😅 NO BUT FR THIS IS A BANGER!!!🤩

I know he talk about how he could sing like this but GOD DAME. I didn't even realize at first I just had a random playlist going and was like "yeah this slaps.....wait is this ike?!?" Dude get at it.

I'm back listening to this gem. Just let me feel at PEACE!!!

1:14 はい、最高です。ありがとう神様。生きててよかった。

Omg when ike sing's its gorge💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

OMG I CRIED SO HARD WHY IS THIS SO DAMN GOOD????????

all of ike's songs give me chills

One of the most talented people of all time

Broo this shit is so good that if someone played this at my funeral I would simply come back alive so I can hear this masterpiece one more time.

I'm so glad Mr.Eveland here is my introduction to heavy metal and I'm loving it

New song in the playlist fr fr

I could hear the sadness in his voice when singing part of the ending. No matter what fate you have, we'll always be here for you no matter what, we're proud of you ike and we hope that you'll see the happiness you bring in everyones lives including mine 💙

The part at 3:37 goes so hard it’s crazy. The whole song is amazing

This one to 1M next, Quilldren let’s go

This song is still an absolute banger
