    "The song Siphon was written about a family member who attempted suicide multiple times last summer. Making a video for this song felt nearly impossible. The subject matter is so personal, I wasn’t sure there could be a way to visualize it beyond what my family and I had already lived through. In the end, I think the video could have only existed in the way you will see it: raw, grotesque, vulnerable, ugly.
    The video’s a representation of the struggle to reach someone with depression. The more you try to reach out, the further it pushes you away. So you push harder. You grab on and lock hands with the person you’re trying to save. You’ll do anything to save them from the stupor they’re losing themselves to. As the haze between you grows thicker and more impenetrable, the desperation to save them becomes just as all-consuming. You hold tighter and tighter, refusing to lose your grip."
    -Nika Roza Danilova, October 2017

    On one hand I'm happy songs like these are not liked by the mainstream hords of sheep humans are, on the other hand I find it a disgrace that this pure and personally emotional unique music is not appreciated by a larger audience.
    In all its desperation, there is so much hope and possitivity in this song about the deepest depth a human can go through, and that"s an amazing accomplishment in itself.

    Paroles
    You write a note, we write a eulogy
    You drain it out, we clean it up for free
    Anything you need, we're at the door
    Just call our name and we're at the floor
    Waiting for the call
    'Cause we'd rather clean the blood of a living man
    We'd rather lean over, hold your warm, warm hand
    We'd love to clean the blood of a living man
    We'd hate to see you give into those cold, dark nights inside your head
    Was it a lie or did I see the light in your eyes across the table?
    Or did you play the part of the listening?
    We just want to save you
    Pull you from those dark nights
    We just want to show you there's more to life
    'Cause we'd rather clean the blood of a living man
    We'd rather lean over, hold your warm, warm hand
    We'd love to clean the blood of a living man
    We'd hate to see you give into those cold, dark nights inside your head
    Won't let you bleed out, can't let you bleed out
    Won't let you bleed out, can't let you bleed out
    Won't let you bleed out, can't let you bleed out
    Won't let you bleed out, can't let you bleed out
    Won't let you bleed out, can't let you bleed out
    Won't let you bleed out, can't let you bleed out
    'Cause we'd rather clean the blood of a living man
    We'd rather lean over, hold your warm, warm hand
    We'd love to clean the blood of a living man
    We'd hate to see you give into those cold, dark nights inside your head, inside your head, inside your head
    Won't let you bleed out, can't let you bleed out
    Won't let you bleed out, can't let you bleed out
    Won't let you bleed out, can't let you bleed out
    Won't let you bleed out, can't let you bleed out
    Won't let you bleed out, can't let you bleed out
    Won't let you bleed out, can't let you bleed out
    Won't let you bleed out, can't let you bleed out
