something i DESPERATELY need to draw attention to in regards to the symbolism of the video connecting with the songs meaning is: when vessel is striking at the dancers, you see he's not very good with the sword and is just kind of haphazardly swinging it, and they're all easily dodging out of the way. and i thought on first watch that his actor just wasn't good with the sword, but it's 100% on purpose!!! when you look at the context of the song and him talking about these unrequited feelings he's having, the dancers represent that love. and he's coming to kill them to show him trying to get over this person, but he doesn't WANT to, because he doesn't want to get rid of his feelings!! he wants to keep loving them, even if it only leads to him being hurt over and over again!! and i think the ribbons represent the attention he's getting from them - even if it's negative, they're still FEELING something towards him. vessel makes me so fucking CRAZY i need to pick his brain apart so badly
Can I suggest starting at the beginning of the discography and riding it all the way through. I’d watch them all ❤
