Vane - Collared (ft. SAROS) [SynthV Original] 

Wait, this is a VOICEBANK?? Not an actual person singing?? Holy shit that’s some good tuning

I would KILL for a plushie of this main character

Well that went from religious to kinky real damn fast and I AM HERE FOR IT

I find the symbolisms of rabbits and major religious undertones to be interesting. Especially how in the Old Testament, rabbits were thought of as unclean animals. They represent lust and unbridled sexuality/ or uncontrolled sexual passions. Really love the symbolisms! (Plus there some stories that I have seen where rabbits have sometimes represented gay folk. So that's interesting lol)

thank you vane for inventing music

This is vocal synth?? O-O Really good instrumentals and lyrics, well done !! :D

The main character in this is literally fucking GORGEOUS I'm gonna draw them in my sketchbook

What's really interesting is that, when I listened to the song before thjs MV, it always gave me the imagery of wolves or some other carnivorous predator due to the those types of animals seen to be needing taming, so it's REALLY interesting how this MV uses rabbits instead. Rabbits are seen as docile beings, which is probably what the church wants its members to be, but even bunnies can have a bite to them, kind of like Saros's fangs, something that they were most likely born with

I just realized that usually in the chorus, saros is surprised when they turn around, but in the final part, they're confident. Maybe they're no longer ashamed of who they are anymore.

LOSING MY MIND YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH I WILL HAVE THIS ON LOOP.... THANK YOU TO VANE YOPPY AND CRISPY FOR KEEPING THE GAYS FED.......................

damnit, ive had a bunny oc named saros for years now and now people are gonna think i just made them because of this song. tbf, if it had to be anything, im glad its this.

others have already pointed out the more obvious symbolism behind the rabbit imagery, but i'd like to give special mention to tu'er shen, the chinese god of love and sex between men; said to have been a man named hu tianbao, he was caught peeping on the imperial inspector he'd fallen for through a bathroom wall -- forced to confess his affection, only to be beaten to death. a month later, he appeared in the dreams of a man from his hometown as a young hare, claiming that since his crime was one of love -- and thus, an unjust death -- the officials of the underworld had appointed him as god and safe-guarder of homosexual affairs. "rabbit" is actually chinese slang for gay people, although i'm unsure if that came before or after this guy, lmao. he had a pretty decent cult in the fujian province, and was specifically mentioned in the qing dynasty's outlawing of homosexual sex (among other things)... and there remains a temple dedicated to him in taiwan to this day! it frequently sees gay couples looking to officiate gay marriages or make prayers. on the western side of things, rabbits are traditionally associated with fertility (ofc) -- that's why they're all over easter -- and immortality; the three hares/rabbits is an ancient symbol that appears all the way from east asia to england itself, and its origins are actually unknown (afaik), but it's thought to be a representation of infinity. when present in christian spaces, it represents the holy trinity. back over in east asia, there's also the mythical moon rabbit, said to be pounding out either the elixir of life... or rice cakes. they're very versatile little guys! :) (also, this song bangs. holy shit. definitely going on loop for the next week -- amazing work!

didn't know i could shake my ass to my religious trauma

Hey I revised the spanish for Vane in this, so here are some translation notes for non-spanish speakers: 0:05 "Padre nuestro en el cielo, santificado-" Is the start of the prayer "Our Father Who Art in heaven, hallowed (...) 0:09 "Padre" In this context Padre is the priest of the church 0:57 "Mijito, dios te quiere, él solo quiere protegerte" means "Dear child* God loves you, He only wants to protect you" In this context mijito doesn't mean literally son like it usually does, it's just an endearing way to call someone else's children. 1:59 "Oye, wey, ¿estás allí? En el cielo tan bello" means "Hey, man, are you there? In the heaven so beautiful" Hope it helped! 💗

BROO “and if the world wants us to burn, we’ll join the stars and watch it turn” MIGHT BE MY NEW FAV LYRIC LIKE OMG

I am aware that this song is specifically about being repressed for being who you are in a Christian environment, but as a person who grew up in a Muslim environment with very strict parents (I'm from Turkey), this hits really close home too. I was hurt and demonized a lot growing up because of religious beliefs/people. I don't identify with Islam at all anymore, though I respect nice people who do :)

one thing not enough people are talking about is the way the rabbits, while being a uniquely interesting metaphor, also happen to be fucking adorable background dancers. the way they just keep popping up at random moments doing goofy little poses aND THE TWO DOING THE TANGO DURING THE INSTRUMENTAL BREAK LIKE THEY'RE SO SILLY I CAN'T, V

genuinely "Life isnt up to a god, our components are sonnets, they're up to us to write" is like one of THE lines ever to me cuz holy shit bro

The adorable little fangs is a really good choice that reflects the stance of the church and conservatives on these things. In their view, you only become one because you were exposed to one. Which is to say, non-heteronormativity is just like vampirism. That’s why all their talking points are about “turning” people. …or maybe they are just a vampire and I’m reading too much into the character design.

I'm not even going to lie, this song made me tear up. I've never had a song so perfectly encompass my own feelings with religion and realizing that I like women, while having family around me actively condemn it for religious reasons. I am adding this to the playlist for sure.

yk as a queer Christian this really hits hard. I don’t believe being gay is a sin. The denomination of Christianity I subscribe to doesn’t believe that either, but there’s still something from the church of my childhood that holds me back. It makes me afraid. This song describes that feeling perfectly. I’m also just so mad that so many queer people have been hurt by Christian churches. I know I should be used to it by now, but it shouldn’t be normal.

Nearing the end of the song after you see broken chains, their eyes switch from swirls to hearts. That was a really neat detail that I thought should be noticed by more people 👏

the art and editing in this mv is INSANELY good, everyone who worked on this did an absolutely amazing job, and all of it comes together to make something absolutely incredible I'M ALSO LIKE,, OBSESSED WITH THE THEMES BEHIND THIS SONG AND THE LYRICS. it's a very mature song and it delivers it's messages so well,, the way ur upbringing defines how ur relationships form in adulthood, how people raised with religion are taught to believe some parts of themselves are inherently dirty or unholy, and the ways those things can be reclaimed in adulthood. like u grow up being told that ur feelings are bad or dirty and rather than trying to scrub those parts of u away u embrace them in ways so they no longer hurt you. the way that the metaphor of the collar is used as an agent to bind or restrict, but it turns into something u reclaim and take control back of in the context of BDSM, where any and all activity is safe and only happens on the terms of both parties, is SO GOOD!!! I LOVE THIS SONG SOOO MUCH. VANE, YOPPY AND CRISPY ALL DID SUCH INCREDIBLE JOBS!!

[Lyrics] (because I wanted to sing and that help me) Y'know as a kid on Sunday, I'd go to church And say my daily prayers, it's such a blur Repeating: "Padre nuesto en el cielo" "Santificad-" Um, how did it go? And so the padre's talking, he's doing his thing He takes a breath, looks up, and starin' at me He says: "Holy bunnies, white as snow," "Will you promise not to ever roam?" I don't know when these feelings all began It seems the Devil and I walked hand in hand And so I'd run and run and run away Endless circles through a senseless game I would pray for an answer every night But the moon stayed silent with its damning light And so I'd run and run and run away Feigning solace through a holy fatе Now, the echoes intеrlace Repeating sacred grace to save the misbehaved A picture-perfect masquerade Embracing faded pages of tainted saints "Mijito, Dios te quiere" "El solo quiere protegere" A saying I've heard before Adorning covenants Dear God, I'm bored [Pre-Chorus] We've lost our youth to the night Left to find reason between every fracture of Light In portraits portraying our lives Can we redefine what it means to be Alive If the scripture says it's sin, then let's begin A dying wish Although our cards were dealt in blinded bliss There's hope beyond this lone abyss Leave bruises on my neck We won't regret Our staggered breaths I wanna feel your body close But there's something latching to my throat It's got me CO-CO-CO-CO-What? It's got me CO-CO-CO-CO-What? Collared Cheap wine Cheaper praise Cheap ways to fill my faith I got a hundred ways to null the pain Every day the same Still trying to pray Like, "Oye, wey, testas alli?" "En el cielo tan bello," Find it hard to believe Hey, did you run and run and run To shun the only one That could have saved us from Humanity's sun? We've lost our youth to the night Left to find reason between every fracture of Light In portraits portraying our lives Can we redefine what it means to be Alive Life Isn't up to a God Our components are sonnets They're up to us to write Our memories live on through each line Can we redefine what it means if the- Scripture says it's sin, then let's begin A dying wish Although our cards were dealt in blinded bliss There's hope beyond this lone abyss Leave bruises on my neck We won't regret Our staggered breaths I wanna feel your body close But there's something latching to my throat I wanna worship you all night I wanna feel your gentle bite And if the world wants us to burn We'll join the stars and watch it turn I could throw it all away Repeat the prayers I used to pray But if I hid behind this broken bliss I'll never know what lies within Those markings on my neck I don't regret the nights we spent I wanna feel your body close But there's something latching to my throat The scripture says it's sin, then let's begin This sinner's wish Although our cards were dealt in binded bliss Let's recreate the serpent's kiss Leave bruises on my neck I won't repent My knees are bent I wanna hold your body close Just wrap your hands around my throat They had me CO-CO-CO-CO-What? But now I'm CO-CO-CO-CO-What? Pull on my CO-CO-CO-CO-What? Collar

I say this in the most sapphic "Trauma healed moment" way possible. *HOLY SHIT THIS WAS HOT*

the “what?” in order to get the listener(s) to repeat the name of the song as if in a sermon is so smart

this song gives me a eargasm in a good way, I love it

This song gives me an immense amount of gender envy i cannot explain, thank you Update: i now cosplay this character and i can confirm; theres a lot of gender present /pos

"If the world wants us to burn, we'll join the stars and watch it turn." I may be straight but that line is POWERFUL. Taking the antithesis of the connotations for burning in this context and flipping it to a positive is so poetic. It's a tragedy that hard-line Christians scorn LGBTQ people so much they wish for them to burn in hell. So taking 'burn' away from that and to be something positive and wonderful like a star burning and shining is just genius. Fuck the Church. Any benevolent god would not punish their creations for acting as they will. I'm gonna have a fun time analysing this song. My orientation does not allow me to grasp it as well or feel it as meaningful as others, but I'm gonna get every piece of meaning out of it that I can! (Besides, much more fun analysing the vibrant works of internet artists than Shakespeare any day.)

THE ANIMATION IN THIS IS INSANE HELLO??????? THE MUSIC IS SO BANGER AS WELL WHAT THE HELL

I KEEP COMING BACK TO THIS SONG, and I've just GOT to point out the huge amount of double-entendre symbolism! There's the obvious symbolism of the collar in the context of religious restrictions, as well being used in the freedom of consentual BDSM; but then there's also the use of bunnies that are shown here both as a symbol of 'purity', as well as being a sexual symbol ("___ like rabbits" is a common simile). There's also a bunch of lyrics with double meanings too!! 1) "Although our cards were dealt in blinded bliss" - Blinded bliss could refer to being born into the comfort and ignorance of religion, but can also refer to being born out of the 'bliss' of an orgasm. 2) "... to shun the only one who could have saved you from humanity's sun" - I think this is a play on words; the usual sentence is "saved from humanity's sin", but in this version it's 'sun', not 'sin'-- referring to how the religion was keeping them from one of the joys of being human. I'm sure there's many more, but those are the two that I find most interesting that I haven't seen mentioned yet! AND THEN there's the color palette of the video that's (intentionally or unintentionally) the non-binary flag colors, which I think works SUPER well!!! I just all around adore this song and the music video AUGH!!

Reclaiming religious motifs and iconography for individuality and self love remains one of my favorite artistic tropes, also this MV holy HELL??? The visuals and the electro swing go SO well together, and ironically this is my first time hearing SAROS so it had me pausing the video a couple seconds in to double check if this was a voicebank or a person recording--absolutely fantastic all around!!! ❤❤❤ (I know there's already much more articulately worded comments about the symbolism and themes in the song so I won't repeat the obvious but I really enjoy the imagery of rabbits being used here, since they're almost universally used as shorthand for naive/innocent/small-minded people but in this MV that's instead turned around into a "pure" sacrifical creature choosing its own fate and redefining what it means to experience things like lust and desire; very epic very cool I like it a lot) Edit: nevermind I do want to go into detail actually. Another thing that makes my brain go brrrrrrr is the usage of light/specifically the moon as the only warm color in the MV and the use of "humanity's sun" instead of the more obvious "humanity's sin", kind of like it's drawing parallels between the sun and moon--the moon being out during the night, the main character's outfit adorned with flowers the same color as the moon--I know it's probably just to make the rhyme work but I really like the idea of the moon being used as a metaphor for humanity's desires (much less bright than the sun, since having desires isn't "sinful" like the "sun" is in this case)

Dude this video is literally stunning. I was impressed when I heard the song- but this really brought it all together. SAROS fits your style super well. This entire song sounds amazing. This is definitely my favorite from you. SYNTHV SPANISH LETS GOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't seen any comments that really get into the story here, so I'm gonna take a crack at it. - I'm sure the most obvious interpretation is that Saros is gay or bisexual, but has been forced into the closet by the vilification of LGBT+ relationships in their religion. Out of shame for 'sinning' and possible fear of going to Hell, they deny their feelings and desperately pray to God to 'fix them', only to end up entering a secret relationship and accepting their sexuality because it makes them feel good and free - or, in their words, alive. - I get the impression that it's also about religion shaming and controlling sexual behavior (i.e, purity culture). Saying it can only be done certain ways, forbidding gay marriage and sex before marriage, expecting men and women to play certain roles, etc. - Assuming the flowers are marigolds, I feel the need to point out that marigolds are symbols of purity and divinity, were used to decorate church altars, and got their name from the biblical Mary. This makes Saros wearing them in their chorus outfit rather interesting - they could either be mocking their religious upbringing with their newfound freedom from it or trying to honor any good lessons it taught them despite the harm it caused. Either way, they seem to have come to terms with it. I'm sure there's more, but this is my understanding. The 'serpent's kiss' mentioned in the final chorus certainly refers to something - but what that something is, I admittedly don't know.

I'm not religious, I came across this song once and now it cannot be removed from Google recommendations.

Personally, the line "Holy bunnies, white as snow, will you promise to never roam?" symbolizes how normal feelings (like being gay or trans or lgbtqia+ in general) are told to be locked up and never acted on, when bunnies roaming is very normal/healthy for them. This song really feels like being told your base urges are wrong but deciding you don't want to be right. Great song :D

We getting out of the church with this one🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

WOW this song is FIRE personally, i think it's about growing up in a religiously traumatic environment as a LGBTQ+ kid and finding some kind of freedom as you grow up. the symbolism with the rabbits and the collar is so impressive, and the art style is so interesting! it reminds me of the shows i'd watch when i was younger. and a new voicebank from eclipsedsounds??? THRILLING great job to everyone involved!

Absolutely utterly earth shattering and mind melting. the tuning was so sexy actually and the lyrics UGH the lyrics i am screaming i can't deal/ and to top it all off this MV has my brain doing back flips im actually so stunned rn. Absolutely priceless piece of media here that could never be replaced, The bunnies dancing, the co-co-co-coWHAT. like stop playing with me right now if this isnt the ass shaker of the year I really couldn't tell you what was. Thank you for this amazing piece of art.

How does every song Vane manages to release end up an absolute banger? There have been zero misses so far honestly.

My brain loves how being collared transitions from being chained to religious ideals to giving yourself to a lover willingly

A lazy yet so small detail i didn't know was intentional or not and if people mentioned it, But overtime it started out as White/Gray as they started out nervous and confused probably, But overtime becomes gold. Thus symbolising them overtime getting confident. It's a nice touch! Aswell as the outfit.

WE GET A NON-BINARY VOICEBANK??? Saros is such a good voice oh my GODS!!!

Spanish translations btw: 0:04 "Padre nuestro en el cielo" our father in the sky 0:09 "padre" is father or dad 0:57 "Mijito dios te quiete" is My (little) son god loves you and "el solo quiere protejerte" is he only wants to protect you 1:59 "Olle wey estas alli en el cielo tan bello?" is hey are you there in the sky so beautiful Hope the translations helped :)

i think the main character being more humanoid than all the other rabbits is symbolism for how they are not heterosexual and therefore different

This song kinda emphasizes one of the main things that I don't necessarily like when it comes to Christianity/Christian-like religions, this idea that your life is planned out ahead of you. I know it's not the main point of the song but the line about rewriting sonnets stuck out to me as that's one of the reasons I'm no longer a Christian. Now, I'm not gonna sit here and say that Christianity as a whole is evil and wrong, in fact, I think there are a lot of good moral lessons that can be taken from the Bible's stories (as long as you take them with a bit of salt). Regardless, one of the things I was always told growing up was that God has a plan for all of us and that the hardships are meant to strengthen us. As someone who lost both his parents and is currently living with his aunt and uncle, I don't care if you have good intentions no one needs to go through that hardship. Long story short, I've always had a problem with this idea that everything about your life is planned ahead and God takes all the credit for it, it's BS and it pisses me off. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

THIS IS EVERYTHIIIIING AND THE MV JUST MAKES IT AAAH!!!! absolutely incredible i will never recover

You three absolutely smashed it out of the park in every aspect, incredible work everyone!!!

I’m asexual myself and none of my characters have that kind of religious trauma but it’s so catchy... I’ll find something to headimate to it eventually, maybe. Either way I’ll be watching on loop.

Saros sounds so good this song is so good the art is so good and the editing is so good this is such a banger

This song is so good and I love that it uses a nonbinary synthV and that it all uses the nonbinary flag color scheme (even if not intended to be the nonbimary flag)

Excellent work, activated something profound in me. "let's recreate the serpent's kiss" is my favorite line, it's so fun and sexy. Also that bunny is so gender (and hot) holy shit.

IM SO ACTUALLY INSANE ABT THE ENTIRE COMPOSTION OF THIS VIDEO/SONG FROM THE BEAUTIFUL ART THE SYBOLISM IN THE ART AND LYRICS TYING IN2 FREEDOM FROM RELIGOUS SHAME AND GUILT ???? THE COLLAR BECOMING SOMETHING THE SINGER RECLAIMS AS SOMETHING OF THEIR OWN BY THE END OF THE SONG ???!?!??!?!?! genuinely GORGEOUS i am in LOVE

I don't know what I expected when I clicked on this but I wasn't expecting my soul to transcend to a higher plane of existence

"Let's recreate the serpent's kiss." "Just need your hands around my neck." "If the world wants us to burn, we'll join the stars and watch it turn." I have never been so conflicted on if a song is helplessly horny or absolutely raw... maybe it's both? (Not to undercut the message, as I'm sure it will have helped atleast one person.)

“Life isn’t up to a god” *YOU FUCKIN’ SAID IT PAL*

thank you vane for inventing collars

1:58 GO OFF TOPHAT BUNNIES

This song really reminds me of those hype fandom songs of 2014-2018! I love it! And you're telling me this voice does not belong to a real person, and it's a vocaloid? Nah, no way I'm ever believing that..

THIS IS AMAZING WHAT THE HELL, I LOVE IT. I dont know if it was the intention behind this but this song perfectly encapsulates how i felt growing up in a heavily religious south america household after i realized i was a fruity little gay boy.

WOO TIME TO BASE AN ENTIRE OC PERSONALITY OFF THIS SONG

1:47 this goddamn frame is making me chuckle too much

not only is the song good, but i relate to it pretty heavily too. you did so freaking great and it really shows. the meaning behind the collar and how the 'protagonist' of the song now uses it as a symbol of overcoming their mental blocks formed through religion is amazing. i can't stop listening to it its so good!

Holy shit such a bop, the change in language in the beginning me agarro desprevenida jsajaja. La voz es perfecta?? La letra queda SUPER bien??? El MV es tan bueno me voy a quedar escuchandolo/viendolo en repetición, porque la verdad los dibujos tambien estan exquisitos y le quedan super bien al tema!! 👌✨ Edit: Saros has such an AMAZING VOICEBANK!!

the saros in this video is so pretty help

the pv and song are both so good they go so well together its rewired by brain chemistry and my genes thank you this is amazing

I love the symbolism of the imagery in this song! As I interpret it it, this song is about reclaiming things that you were hurt by, or brought up to believe was wrong. Particularly about religion teaching that sexuality is “wrong” and “sinful”. In that sense, I love the way that the collar represents both being bound or suppressed, before being used as a symbol of bdsm; Where all participants feel free to express their sexuality. Also the fact that rabbits represent both innocence, and religious icons related to the holy trinity and Easter, but are also notoriously fertile and lustful. The contrast of the monochrome with the bright gold also is really nice. TLDR: the music video is so good and works fantastically with the themes of the song (which is an absolute banger)

Vane istg i have listened to this song like 50 times already. Its so funky and so good, but its also a comfort song for me. LIKE- ITS SO ACCURATE???? I used to live in a really "weird" religious context (i started listening to your music there) and OMFG I LOVE THIS. ALSO SAROS VOICE IS AMAZINF, AND THE MUSIC? THE VIDEO? ITS MY FAV SONG RN 😭 Thank you for your music ❤🗣️❗

Holy shit a whole track about religious trauma and freedom and... Kink? Oh my gosh I'm about all of this so hard.

This song is amazing, I speak spanish and hearing some of the spanish words made me smile so much, thank you vane for this masterpiece

Holy shit im in love with electro swing music so an electro swing song with cool themes and an absolute fire MV like this is amazing

i've been looping this for a while now, absolutely OBSESSED with the song and the artwork.

I’m a genderfluid bisexual Christian. I still believe in the faith but I certainly agree not everything or everyone has to follow the values. God created us the way we are for a reason. I’m sorry to everyone who heard people twisting his words and forgetting the most important one of being kind to everyone. We gotta keep fighting for rights especially now. This song shall be one of our anthem I’m sure of it.

i’m so excited to see this song and the music video all together!! i was so shocked and excited when the demo came out, and i can definitely say it does NOT disappoint. well written lyrics with the most insanely catchy and fast paced melody to match !!!

This song is an exceptional earworm for me right now. Just stumbled across it and absolutely love all of it. The sound design is exceptional, the lyrics and vocals are on point, and the animations are exceptionally done.

HOLY SHIT!!!!! i already thought this song was super good but it's even more enhanced by this amazing video. i love the style sm. in other words a second collared has hit the me. my feet are cold now cuz my socks have been knocked off. etc

desperately needing this song to hit a million views at least. absolute banger

I love songs like this, you don't need context or to understand the deeper meaning of every word for it to be good. Nice job ❤

THIS SONG FUCKS SO HARD IM IN AWE?!!?!? THE THREE OF YOU DID SUCH AMAZING WORK

I absolutely love this! Thank you so much for creating this masterpiece! ^^

Just got out of church with this one 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥❤️🎉

I need to learn how to recreate this art style it tickles my brain 🧘‍♀️

I was wondering why the bunny character has fangs, then I realized they also have a differently colored face and claws too... Are they supposed to be literally a wolf in sheep's(bunny's) clothing? If so that's a really clever visual reference lol Man. As a big ole' queer raised in christianity and with hella religious trauma from it this song just owns bones and perfectly expresses so much of my own internal frustrations with religion. I can tell you guys Get It. Thanks for making this amazing song!

This song has me going absolutely feral in the best way. i'm going to eat it.

This is awesome. The MV is ridiculous, and the song itself is so catchy. I love the vibe that comes together. Idk if it's the tuning, SAROS, or both, but the vocals are crazy fucking smooth with a powerful electronic undercurrent. Amazing work. That breakdown around 3:10 is bliss for my ears--that hyper, fun, dark chiptune/EDM sound that turns your bedroom into the coolest club that doesn't exist. And the visuals at that part are especially sublime. All in all, a really great song. You all knocked it out of the park with this demo.

I never thought I needed a Vane Lily swing song but here I am

THIS SONG IS PROOF THAT YOU CAN VIBE TO RELIGIOUS TRAUMA

By the thumbnail of this song I can already tell its gonna slap

Vane, thank you for this song ...but i feel very awkward searching "collared" on youtube

any song that has a thumbnail that uses little to no black, and uses alternatives like very dark gray but clearly not black, is going to be a banger

i’ve never done this but i’m trying to memorize the lyrics and i’m too early for the lyrics people to get here so LYRICS Y’know as a kid, on Sunday, I’d go to church And say my daily prayers, it’s such a blur Repeating, *Padre nuestro en el cielo* *Santificado-* Um, how did it go? And so the Padre’s talkin’, he’s doing his thing He takes a breath, looks up, and starin’ at me He says: “Holy bunnies, white as snow” “Will you promise not to ever roam?” I don’t know when these feelings all began It seems the Devil and I walked hand in hand And so I’d run and run and run away Endless circles through a senseless game I would pray for an answer every night But the moon stayed silent with its damning light And so I’d run and run and run away Feigning solace through a holy fate The echoes interlace Repeating sacred grace to save the misbehaved A picture perfect masquerade Embracing faded pages of tainted saints *Mijito, Dios te quiere* *Él solo quiere protegerte* A saying I’ve heard before Adorning covenants Dear God, I’m bored We’ve lost our youth to the night Left to find reason between every fracture of light In portraits portraying our lives Can we redefine what it means to be alive? If the scripture says it’s sin, then let’s begin, a dying wish Although our cards were dealt in blinded bliss There’s hope beyond this lone abyss Leave bruises on my neck, we won’t regret our staggered breaths I wanna feel your body close But there’s something latching to my throat It’s got me co-co-co-co- what? It’s got me co-co-co-co- what? Collared Cheap wine, cheaper praise Cheap ways to fill my faith I got a hundred ways to null the pain Every day the same Still trying to pray, like *Oye, wey, ¿estás allí?* *En el cielo tan bello* Find it hard to believe Hey, did you run and run and run To shun the only one who could’ve saved us from humanity’s sun? We’ve lost our youth to the night Left to find reason between every fracture of light In portraits portraying our lives Can we redefine what it means to be alive- Life isn’t up to a God Our components are sonnets, they’re up to us to write Our memories live on through each line Can we redefine what they mean if- Scripture says it’s sin, then let’s begin, a dying wish Although our cards were dealt in blinded bliss There’s hope beyond this lone abyss Leave bruises on my neck, we won’t regret our staggered breaths I wanna feel your body close But there’s something latching to my throat I wanna worship you all night I wanna feel your gentle bite And if the world wants us to burn We’ll join the stars and watch it turn I could throw it all away Repeat the prayers I used to pray But if I hid behind this broken bliss I’ll never know what lies within Those markings on my neck I don’t regret the nights we spent I wanna feel your body close But there’s something latching to my throat The scripture says it’s sin, then let’s begin, this sinner’s wish Although our cards were dealt in binded bliss Let’s recreate the serpent’s kiss Leave bruises on my neck, I won’t repent, my knees are bent I wanna hold your body close Just wrap your hands around my throat They had me co-co-co-co- what? But now I’m co-co-co-co- what? Pull on my co-co-co-co- what? Collar

I loved it! The truth is that it had caught my attention because of the cover drawing, but I ended up loving it even more! The truth is that I didn't expect him to change some things from English to Spanish, and that shocked me, since I speak Spanish, making me not expect the "Padre nuestro en el cielo, santificado", "Mijito, dios te quiere. El solo quiere protegerte" or "Oye wey ¿Estas allí? En el cielo tan bello" Since I'm used to only listening to music in English, but oh well. It's great! 10/10

Bunny!! Bunuy!! Looks lovely and I love how it sounds!! So many bunnies!! c: one of my favorite animals!! Also fun fact! Rabbits generally don’t wear collars as they usually don’t like them!! So this is one unique rabbit haha! c:

PULL ON MY CO- WHAT???? Holy shit Vane we need more of this what the fuck I'm blown away

I cannot believe I only found this song a couple days ago - I’ve been jamming to it nonstop since! I love SAROS’s voice, I love that we have a non-binary representative in a big vocal synth release now. I also love that SAROS is teaching people that being non-binary does not mean that you have to sound/look androgynous. I can’t wait to find more SAROS songs! 😊 Congrats on 1 million views, by the way!

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL???? LITERALLY BOTH THE MUSIC AND ART IN THIS IS AMAZINGGG!! On a serious note I also do love the songs themes and relate to them a lot! Im so happy to see a song like this that not only sounss good but looks just as amazing too!

The visuals are INSANE, better than most visuals i've seen with other songs and channels, I can tell why it took a good 3 months to make and DAMN was it worth the wait. Amazing job as always to Vane and the others who worked on this song.

I've been obsessed with this song since it came out, eveeything about it is AMAZING. Voppy epsecially did an amazing job with the tuning, SAROS' softer voice is immaculate

Usually when I find songs about breaking away from control or rhythm it's about the government or big corporates, rather than religion. I'm all here for it like the others too. Books that we can't even prove are true shouldn't control our lives, or the beliefs of other people.

i will be here when this hits 1 million trillion views because it DESERVES IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
