    The song is about a friend of Ren who committed suicide and he struggled with this his whole life, as the ending points to.

      @kiakamgar Год назад +10

      @@GGG_3first 4 lines you get ‘and the fear baptised me’ the brother jumped from where they’re performing the song on into the water.
      ‘Over and over we go’ opening the hook and ending it with ‘it suffocates me’ is actually pretty outright vivid imagery.
      ‘Nothing is pulling me through, hallelujah, when I don’t know how to be, Hallelujah’ that to me translates as I kept asking for help when he no longer knew what it was to be [insert whatever it is that gets you up in the morning]

    Great reaction. This song is so melancholic, soulful, haunting and poignant. Love Chinchillas's voice and I really respect the fact that Ren mixes so many genres and breaks down boundaries, he really opens up music to new variations.

  • @gcarap

    • @sundaygloom8715

      Furthermore whilst Ren mourns his lost friend, he’s not going to do something so sick as to turn the spot where his friend ended it all, in to a sui- cide voyeurism spot for sicko’s.

      In fact it was almost 15 years ago that he was signed to Sony. And they dropped him about 5 years later.
      But he's released an album independently and has dozens of well received tracks on RUclips and created a real buzz.
      You'd have thought someone would see his potential and give him a second chance.
