MASTERPIECE
Bit late maybe, but I'd like to give a brief description of the lyrics. It's based on a epic sci-fi poem (of all things). It's quite a grim story to be honest. Humanity flees earth to find shelter on mars because we've drained earth of all it's resources. The ship bringing humanity to it's destination is called Aniara, and is steered by an AI called Mima. Underway to it's destination the ships steering is damaged and the people on board are hopelessly floating in space, but they have a plan to drift into path of their original course. It's a small hope, but it's something. During their stay on the ship Mima becomes self-aware and judges humanity doomed to wipe themselves out, and in a fit of rage and depression decides to commit suicide. The AI being the only thing keeping the people onboard somewhat sane, chaos ensues. Humanity returns to a more primal state, people die, lord of the flies etc. it's kinda bad. and that's pretty much it. The ship just drifts endlessly until everyone onboard ineviteably dies. It's a rough and short description of it from my experience with the story/song. All in all pretty grim. Haven't seen the recent movie, doubt it's any good lol.. who knows. I like how it's a somewhat grounded and raw story, without the gimmicky happy ending. I think that's why it sticks in my brain.
Your assessment while interesting is littered with inaccuracies, the mima is not an AI but rather a semi-mystical machine capable of showing rather realistic visions to it's users, (inside the mimas eyes we lived our lives) you need to think of the MIMA as more of a mega VR thing rather than an AI. And again it's semi mystical and while it may be potentially sentient it is not at all AI. It's destruction is caused by it's entangled state with it's sister machine back on earth which is presumably destroyed by the war on earth.
@@rynnziolkowski4642 You say littered, yet you correct a case of semantics. Ok.
I think the movie did a great job of communicating the despair they felt of the ship. It's in Swedish (I don't know swedish) but there are English subtitles.
Nice reaction. Obviously there is a lot to take in on the first listen, but you seemed to do that really well.
I listened to this song when it came out back in 2010 and it remains one of personal favourites to this day. Keeps on giving.
This guy makes me howl. Tommy Karevik has the strongest voice in metal yet extremely versatile and this dope spews out idiocy while chocking down goobers.
What's a goober?
Story breakdown, war is approaching once again on earth, a massive (and potentially semi living ship is built to carry 8000 souls to Mars, part 1 is mother earth singing, part 2 is the war building up part 3 is the boarding of the ship by who is essentially the main character as a child (the person who is represented by tommy kareviks lyrics) not long after part 4 takeoff, the ship Aniara is struck by a meteor or asteroid irreparably damaging the guidance systems leaving the ship to helplessly drift on forever into the void. Part 5 and 6 the citizens of the ship have chosen to lose themselves in the semi mystical visions granted by a mysterious machine called the MIMA, unfortunately it is through the MIMA that the scenes of earth being destroyed by the war are conveyed, as the machine is semi mystical and potentially sentient the horror of a planet being annihilated by war also kills the MIMA, leaving the citizens of Aniara to wallow in misery, first they turn to orgiastic pleasures, then science but eventually they come to realize they are doomed a mere 20 years after Aniara fled earth for mara the ship is left barren and lifeless all 8000 souls perished. This song is based off of the epic poem Aniara written shortly after WW2 by a disillusioned swedish writer who was sickened by the wholesale loss of life and the damage done to planet earth by the bombs and bullets
Thanks for all the info, good to know
@@DaveDoesmoviesandmusic sorry that I kinda stopped the parts breakdown after part 7, it all kinda meshes into the final decline after part 7 death of the goddess (goddess again being earth). The story focuses on three central segments of time, early in the song it's just before and just after Aniara takes flight, the middle of the song is around 5 years later after their guidance systems are destroyed and they've been drifting for some time where they witness Earth's destruction, and of course the 20 year mark where the last of the stranded souls aboard Aniara decline into final death leaving naught but an empty dead ship floating on forever as a testament to the death of humanity. Iirc most of the lyrics are just slightly rewritten cantos from the actual poem Aniara
This guy is sooo annoying
Thanks
