    Lyrics:
    "In the darkness, there's a glow
    And I suppose that's the idea
    So to the ground, stealth and swiftly I proposed
    -On the chance, no one could hear me
    Warry footsteps in the gray
    But I’m not frightened
    I would fear me!
    And all this time, I'd never sank so low
    That’s why I feel so far away
    I'd one shot and all to lose
    (My eyes were shut, my ears were set)
    -No such thing as wasting time
    (Not a patient man, so a penitent man)
    My hands were coarse
    And my heart beat with a sound
    Like a stampede of horses
    I’d no idea what was waiting there for me
    That’s why I feel so far away
    I'd one shot and all to lose
    (My eyes were shut, my ears were set)
    -No such thing as wasting time
    (Not a patient man, so a penitent man)
    Patience-my only move
    (My eyes were shut, my ears were set)
    And that slipped when I fell away
    (Not a patient man, so a penitent man)
    My god, I’m not okay!
    Looking out in confusion, I had made a mistake!
    I had jumped to conclusion
    And there was no escape
    -Not my best
    I had sacrificed everything
    I would not leave this place empty-handed again!
    There was no retreat
    I’d not be defeated by virtue
    Believe, I’d push it
    What a heathen to make an impression on me!
    Introducing: the star of the show!
    Dirty fingers and laughing
    Your eyes could not lie
    I held my back to a fiery stove
    I was in ire-I was engulfed
    All I desired?
    -A slit of the throat
    I was outnumbered-all of me burned
    I would rip off this crown if I could,
    But it branded itself to my skull
    Felt cemented, my spirit was choked
    The flames rushed in
    I smiled-I smiled for you!
    I'm impressed that I could not see it through this maze
    Different stage, but the mask was the same
    I felt numb
    That fel-crown slipped off
    My soul went quiet for the first and only time
    What have you done for me?
    This trust’s been lost
    I am tired, and I am done
    I don’t care anymore!
    -Dreams of fire seared my cheeks
    But I couldn’t feel anymore...
    Has my heart turned into dust?
    -No more tears anymore
    Here’s to a father’s end!"

    not sure if this is intentional, but I like how he uses the spiral a lot, which represents growth and progress, and his albums are all surrounding a character who is on a quest to better his life

      I think that Justin use of the spiral has more to do with how Junji Ito saw the symbol. Something that can represent progress yes, but also spiraling downwards, further and further into madness.

      True, but generally the way that I see it, Prill is not intended to be the "good guy" of this story. He is falling further from the little grace he started with, and by the end of this I think he is going to turn into a monster. Maybe there will be a bit of redemption late into the story, but I feel like he is going to hit rock bottom before that happens. He is going to destroy everything he cares about, and everything with meaning just to try to better himself, and he is not going to take it in until there is no truly redeeming himself.

    • @wylerI
      @wylerI 6 лет назад +7

      I am pretty sure the name "Hungry Lights" is even an expression of this. As far as I can tell, a "Hungry Light" is a light that burns so bright and so hot, it has to destroy and take from the other lights around it to achieve even more. And I think Prill is going to turn out to be that Hungry Light. But Justin's story is very complex and music is subjective. But if I am right, I love a good tragedy anyway.

    It's been 3 weeks since I discovered your channel Justin your songs stick in my head before I sleep and when I wake up. On my ride to work and when I come home I'm screaming haha(thanks to your 2 tutorial videos). I hope you hit it big someday, perhaps when you create a thing out of Prill.
    Keep up the great work I'll be doing the same till I am capable of creating something great rather than just random riffs. Cheers!
