Woaaah! I just realized that this video blowed up! I see a lot of people coming from an animation by WolfyTheWicth for Philza, and it’s pretty cool to see you all loving this song/band as much as I do. I also need to clarify something; I made this video the day the album came out, and they posted the official lyrics a few weeks later, so the lyrics on the video are not 100% accurate. I’m sorry for that! Thanks for watching and enjoying
Wouldn't, "I will trust the artist molding me" be anti trans. It's about not being a perfect person but accepting who you are and what you look like instead of wanting to change your look. I often wonder why trans people can't identify how they want without changing their body and "trust the creator". "My body is a sacred note". If anything it is about dealing with temptation to be a good person.
I hadn't realized this was a christain song till the comments told me so. I always thought it was a song about a hero in a story trusting the writer with their life, knowing that the writer has their back.
i mean i firgured it out immeadiatly as it said 'Even in the debths of the dark cannot blind me' due to the verse 'Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.' Pslams 23:4 and then when it said Humanity is not alone when Jesus Christ in on the Throne
From those coming from the Philza AMV, welcome! It’s nice to see people all coming to listen to a great song 😌. Pls stay respectful to the other people here and the band, though!
I loved the PhilzaAMV but I love that it showed me this song. It’s such a beautiful song. To me this song just screams “freedom and flight”. Reminds me of Hiraeth
this gives off new christian vibes, like the fully accepting and understanding of other religions and beliefs but also still following their own type of christian’s. i really love that it’s something i can appreciate while also not being christian.
Christianity is starting to come full circle on its theology, starting to return to ideology of acceptance, redemption and community preached by people like Augustine of Hippo.

I am not a Christian in any regard. But in my process of self realization I've come to know that this song can perfectly describe how I feel about myself at this moment. I am the artist molding who I can and will become. As a Norse pagan, I also can... vaguely see Odin in specific parts of the song.
Not a Christian but this song resonates a lot. I love how the band made it so, tho obviously a christian worship song, I can put my own experiences and religion to it. Even without the religious aspect, it's and amazing, emotion song
There are many ways people have interpreted this song, here is my interpretation. I relate this song to a point in my life when I questioned everything about myself, my thoughts, my personality, my everything. And constructed a new person from those remains, forged by years of bottled trauma and hardships that I'd overcome. And listening to this song reminds me that I've made myself who I am, I was the one that changed myself, that decided that I wasn't happy with myself. I took the initiative when no one else would, and I'm proud of that. Thanks for reading this comment made by a stranger :) - Random dude on the internet
When I first heard that they were a Christian band I had to take a break from listening to them because I'm not Christian and felt like I was imposing and couldn't relate to their music. But now I have come back to listen more closely. While I do absolutely hear how this is totally worship music for Christianity, I adore that it isn't so blunt and direct with it. Meaning I am able to interpret it differently for myself and my own form of worship. I do respect Christians and their beliefs, but Half Alive has made their music in a way that I can relate to more and enjoy and be able to apply my beliefs and experiences to. Which I appreciate and admire so much. It's touching and beautiful. I don't know if they intended this. I'm not sure if they made it subtle so more people could enjoy it while still expressing their own beliefs. But I hope it was intentional because it has definitely made me more comfortable with listening to Christian music. 💕😊
I didn’t know this band was Christian lol. I just thought it was doing one of those things some folk band do and make references to Jesus, but as a Christian it kind of makes me happy that they are because this is a song I can just vibe to while doing other things when I don’t want to full on worship if that makes sense :)
I am a Christian, and I think or at least I hope that everyone who has been listening and felt healed by this song, realizes it’s trying to describe the essence of what it means to be a Christian. To be growing closer with God by becoming a new creation and who you were meant to be, which is in relationship with him. I think modern Christianity has lost the idea that following Christianity is not about rules but about doing what God wants us to so we can become who we were always meant to be. The more like God we strive to be the more we are our true selves.
I am not religious(I was raised strict Muslim and left years ago, transitioned, all that fun stuff) but this song makes me feel loved in a way I have not felt from faith. It's the musical equivalent to that one quote I once read about how God made trans people for the same reason he made grain and not bread, and grapes and not wine, so we might share in the joy of creation.

@constantlyscared I mean we get this trauma from religious discrimination , that can be for all religions, so we relate to the pain regardless of what religion the song is about...at least it's the case for me.
I literally did not realise this band was Christian at all until the Jesus Christ line. I've been a big fan of them since the beginning, and while I can't relate to either the Christian side or the religious trauma side of these comments, I'm deeply appreciative of this song. It's a Christian song, sure, but there are so many lines I relate to as a trans person. They don't try to force the Christian part down your throat at all, and never have, and that makes it feel like it's just a regular indie band that believes in Christianity. I'm a gay, trans Pagan (Wiccan to be specific) but I love and relate to this song and, to be completely honest, the entire work of art that is this band, and I think that really says a lot about these guys.
The final goal of Christianity is to spread love and acceptance of all, just as God commanded believers to preach the word to every creature, the message was simple: We are all sinners and God's love was so great that he sacrificed his own and only son, making his sacrifice atone for the sin of us all. It is not necessary to accept the message, Christians only deliver it, it is up to each person to accept it or not, so accepting other beliefs and worldviews should be a part of being an exemplary believer
Yo guys, its because he started the trend, search up his stream playlist and be blessed (not in the christian way) Ive been listening to it nonstop for months
Half alive have been on tiktok being so supportive of the trans people who love this song for the past two days, it’s been so wholesome and lovely to see
When I first heard this song I was like "oh this is pretty" and then I heard "humanity is not alone when Jesus Christ sits on the throne" and I was like OH THIS IS A CHRISTIAN SONG NICE (I first heard this song in a Philza PMV, if you're a mcyt fan then go check it out it's really good)
There's a few mistakes toward the end, 'this' where its supposed to say 'these', 'years' where it's supposed be 'mirrors', and 'Haunting' where it's supposed to be 'Haunted'. I was confused by the wording and looked up the official lyrics.
I know. I made this video the day the song came out, and this were the lyrics that were in Genius. A few days/weeks later they uploaded the official lyrics, so you´re 100% right, im sorry.
I'm really glad people take this song in so many forms to fit their own life. Makes it feel like a thing we can all kinda get behind and enjoy in our own right, which is nice.
Definitely as someone who was raised Christian and still working through religious trauma this feels more like a religious trauma song. I stepped away from church and the Bible but I still believe in something. It’s how I feel about myself and my belief now
There are a few songs that really touch my soul. Chevelle - Shameful Metaphors & Radical Face's - Welcome Home and The Mute and now add this song to that list! This song speaks to my soul and I can't stop listening to it.
this is probably the best Christianity song out their because its not forcing religion and mentioning god every line, and it allows people to interpret it in so many ways.
As a Christian myself, that's what usually bothers me about a lot of modern Christian music. It's like they're screaming "WOOOOO, GOD IS SO LIT FELLOW KIDS"
this was the song religiously (pun intended) listened to when i came out to my religious parents and they didnt accept me, ironic huh i really love this song
I was raised very strictly Christian and was very invloved in the church. Sadly it did cause a bunch of truma for me (most heavily with being part of the lgbt community). But sometimes I remember the good parts of it. When done right, this religion is such a beautiful belief. God truly wants people to all love each other no matter their identity. And the people i have met who practice this part of Christianity are som e of the kindest people I know. This song has me remembering the parts of the church that i love and is making me genuinely consider re-joining the church
There are plenty of liberal churches but I prefer conservative even if they dont fully accept me because they seem closer to the divine and I feel God better.
Same. After years of stepping away and trying to heal this has me remembering the pain but also the good I saw. I still feel most churches aren’t for me but I have a relationship with god. I’m glad you’re still here and I hope you find an amazing church to be with if you do decide to go back
my religious trauma has made it impossible to listen to any “christian” song for years. when i realized this was one such song, i admit my first reaction was an immediate and hard “NO.” but then i sat, and i listened, and i’m grateful for the poetry in the lyrics; that “christ” wasn’t shoved down my throat. i still can’t sit through a full christian song without feeling like im being blinded by grief, but this one was healing in a strange way.
No disrespect to you and any trauma you experienced. But this is like saying walking was ruined for you because you were attacked while walking. Obviously whether you believe God or not, he would have created the universe if you did believe in him. Thus everything is owed to God, your identity, every breath you breathe, and the joy you have now. To say something like it "ruins" the holiness of God is pretty insignifigant compared to God's unfathomable mercy and grace. We all go through painful experiences but I would think we shouldn't let that colour how we perceive life, and not hold onto fear.
@@TrifectShow None of us mentioned that our experiences “ruined” anything. Respectfully, I do not believe in the christian god. Yes, my trauma has cemented this disbelief, but I left the faith of my own volition, not because people tainted it for me. Nor am I fearful. The christian god is not a loving god, and neither are most of his followers. There is no grace or mercy in historical biblical teachings, nor can those traits be found in most churches. Saying you do not mean to belittle my trauma, and then comparing it to something as benign as walking, is rather distasteful. Many, MANY people have been turned away from christian faith because of interactions like this. But I hear you regardless, and wish you the best.
I love this song but it honestly irks me so much that “I am creation both haunted and holy, made in glory” is not followed by “even the depths of the night can not hold me”. I know the “blind me” line rhymes with “guide me” but and holy/hold me/glory/ is such a smooth rhyme 😩
this song is hauntingly holy in an absolutely beautiful way. im not a christian but like.. this is one of the few christian songs I like, it doesn't feel forceful or fake
This song really FEELS like Christ. Other gospel songs are just,,, talking about Christ and professing love for him. But this really just gives a wonderful feeling.
I immediately felt the spirit of God on this song from the first lyric. I’m trans and just something about this makes me feel so at home. I grew up Christian and I can just imagine God telling me, “Welcome home my son..”
As someone who started developing paranoia because of religious trauma listening this song just make me cry in a good way. I started having second doubts when I see it was christian, I'm not really a christian but I believe in any Gods and Goddesses, but this song just flow with me and make me happy
Hard to believe that a singular video can reach up to hundreds of thousands of views, yet the channel who uploaded has so few subscribers, I don't mean this is any bad things toward the channel, it just... Amazes me. Love the song though, keep it up.
@@orbismworldbuilding8428 the video is called "What Dinosaurs ACTUALLY Looked Like?" by the channel "Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell" feels like levelling up in real life tbh
Of dust I was born Made of an image Imperfections shown Skin like glass Bones like crumbling sand Tattered and beat down Given an unseen hand Emptied inside made whole Molded out of brokenness Till we fall to the dust This song inspired me to write this
This song reminds me of a character I made, and brings him back to my mind. A child of prophecy of a zealously religious city at the bottom of the sea, a boy king puppeted by the priests that raised him, stolen away the day he was born from the riffraff and rabble of the mines but never allowed to forget where he came from because no matter how holy he is he is impure, he is said to awaken the old god and yet does not know how. Sense of self and religious trauma are big with this guy if you can’t tell HEUFJFJFJGJG
It's really funny how almost all of these posts are from people who aren't Christians talking about how this song is a mood despite being Christian. Including this one. Got dang, I'm obsessed with this song. It's not overbearingly Christian or pressuring to follow the message of the song, just wonderfully positive, spiritual, and uplifting. Chef's kiss.
i'm not even christian (i unironically follow the radiance from hollow knight) but this songs fuckin great and i'm gonna rattle it around in my head until i get bored of it
Not a Christian by any means, but this song is actually so good. You can see this song in so many ways. Religion, healing, etc and it's just as beautiful. Wonderful song
This is what Religious songs should be 🤟❤️ . . . coming from a Christian going through religious doubt, this song helps me feel connected to God when I don't want to have connection to the church, it doesn't feel like it's being sang by a church, it feels like just the spirit is talking to me, the beautiful lyrics are surreal, and feel like something a holy being could bestow upon me
I see all these people saying “oh I’m not Christian” and as a Christian, I will tell you that it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t. I’ve been going to church all my life and I still come up with dumb takes like “Jesus would punch a cop” and “Joseph has no fuckin clue what’s going on but he loves and supports his Eldritch son anyways”
Es la primera vez que escucho la canción y veo la letra jaja, y no me pareció mal, me imagino un vídeo de ellos en una camioneta por una carretera, es bellísimo :'')
" Growing through the creature here I'm trying to see when it's unclear Hidden in the space between The hero and the enemy Early days and sleepless nights Death and resurrection, life My body is a sacred note Sung between the flesh and hope My dirt transformed within a breath Before I took a single step I'm looking forward to the day When life can grow without decay Humanity is not alone When Jesus Christ sits on the throne These hidden mirrors expose the mess The selfish turns to selflessness Haunted by a darker side Transcends to walking in the light And slowly I'm recovering The beauty of discovery " I am LOSING MY ENTIRE MIND
"I know I'm made of clay that's worn, blinded by imperfect form, but I will trust the artist molding me" that line hit me really hard because at the age of 8 I starved myself because I thought I was fat and ugly. I was nowhere close to the correct weight and have always been underweight so that part of the song struck me. I'm also not religious, I found this song because of a Ph1lza animation and liked it for that.
I'm slowly learning to love myself, I don't care if I'm lying to myself or tricking it all or that I need meds to function so I can live I don't care, I just want to love who I am
i know this is about like, christianity, but it gives me all the vibes of learning to love and accept ones self as only human. also most of the religious lines can also be interpreted as just wholehearted devotion to anything, not just to a god, or specifically a christian god. i personally associate it with a living doll who does not know who created him, but hes glad that it did. eventually he starts to be the one building new bodies for himself and learns to trust himself. (and also hes incredibly in love with a beautiful sea goddess) but yea, no hate, i can see every interpretation that people have mentioned in these comments, i just personally like to imagine my own characters in songs, like i imagine many people do
Okay so I know a ton of people are here because of some DSMP animatic or other, but like. Is anyone else here because of that one Frankenstein animatic?? The really really hauntingly beautiful one by Vvarx? If not, go watch that. It's very good and you won't regret it, even if you have zero idea what's happening in the video lol
I think it's a good sign to be able to see and interpret this song as something personal -- against its religious direction. Especially when selfish people hiding under the guise of Christianity have been nothing but something to defend myself against, and has tried to destroy the few things I appreciate. It's a valuable milestone, as quiet as it is.
Thank you for the video, this is one of my favorite songs by this band! Mind if I ask where did you find the art or if you made it yourself? It looks neat 😊
I am but a creature, flesh and bone and blood. Molded by creation to think, breath, and explore. I may be insignificant in the grand scheme, but I am also part of it. To live is proof of one's importance, for something so rare as life is valuable. We all have our roles, whether big or small, we all transcend the dead matter of space. Only in the darkest nights do the stars shine brightest.
POV: When you have the ability to change your present from your future and you're still not sure if going after what you want is the right way to lead...
I may not be Christian, but I think the thing some people miss about this song, is that that is kind of the point. It may have religious undertones, but the emotion and words of the song aren’t here to preach about the god all of these homophobic pigs have created to make excuses to say “no it’s okay to hate these people because so and so says they are bad”. The message I took from this song is that no matter how different, no matter how ‘dim’ this room we are all inside grows, no matter what happens. We are creations that are haunted, and holy. We are who we chose to be, and the only person who can decide that for us, is us. We chose our own path, whether it be pushing through a transphobic father as the pansexual gender fluid creature you are to love the man you love, even if according to the person trying to get in your way, that man isn’t a man, or just being yourself and discovering who you are through the trials and tribulations of the human experience. No matter what situation, no matter how suspiciously specific it may be, you are not alone because you have people who love for, and care about you. Whoever you are, you are fantastic, no go kick whatever snake haunts your life in the teeth and leave your footprint in the sands of time. You can do this, we all believe in you~
"We are who we chose to be, and the only person who can decide that for us, is us." I think you're wrong. The song literally says, "I will trust the one who molded me." You are not in charge here. He is the decider. You have to trust Him.
This comment is just LGBTQA+ ethics trying to hide their own bigotry deep down. The same thing you claim Christains have, you have, too Meaning it doesn't really matter, because that means not you or any Christain are both wrong.
Look inside of me and see that I am not afraid To walk inside the void like a kid inside a cave Discovering the patterns of my soul and where it's placed I've been mapping many caverns, but it still feels like a maze I know I'm made of clay that's worn Blinded by imperfect form I will trust the artist molding me I am creation both haunted and holy, made in glory Even the depths of the night cannot blind me, when You guide me Creature only Look inside my heart and find a perilous ravine Carved within the beauty, the darkness in between Standing in the balance of complete and incomplete I identify the echo of what is and what will be I know I'm made of clay that's worn Blinded by imperfect form I will trust the artist molding me In a room that's growing dim Illuminated from within The pull of tension's empathy I am creation both haunted and holy, made in glory Even the depths of the night cannot blind me, when You guide me, oh I am creation both haunted and holy, made in glory Even the depths of the night cannot blind me, 'cause what comes Creature only Creature only Creature only (Oh, oh!) Creature only Growing through the creature here I'm trying to see what is so clear Hidden in the space between The hero and the enemy Early days and sleepless nights Death and resurrection, life My body is a sacred note Sung between the flesh and hope My dirt transformed within a breath Before I took a single step I'm looking forward to the day When life can grow without decay Humanity is not alone When Jesus Christ sits on the throne These hidden mirrors expose the mess The selfish turns to selflessness Haunted by a darker side Transcends to walking in the light Slowly I'm recovering The beauty of discovering
I feel like for me it's more trusting someone who loves you despite you being flawed and pained. I love music that can have so many different interpretations like that
The core belief of Christianity is, at its heart, is that the Almighty God loves all people equally and is a cosmic source of redemption and absolution. That has a universal appeal, I'd say.

I love this interpretation. And you aren't really off the bible says Jesus is the author of life. Acts 3:15
Plot twist: the writter is chaotic and kills the protagonist half way trough the story

*alright who the frickety frack told you my father is shit so I watch philza as a coping mechanism.*
@@randominternetperson4215 *takes one to know one my friend*
Lol, honestly true tho-
i feel like ive been brutally exposed by this sole comment
Yo guys, its because he started the trend, search up his stream playlist and be blessed (not in the christian way)
Ive been listening to it nonstop for months
I am Trans and a Christian; this song touches such a deep and personal part of myself, it is amazing. Thank you so much.
Half alive have been on tiktok being so supportive of the trans people who love this song for the past two days, it’s been so wholesome and lovely to see
Why do they love the song?
When I first heard this song I was like "oh this is pretty" and then I heard "humanity is not alone when Jesus Christ sits on the throne" and I was like OH THIS IS A CHRISTIAN SONG NICE
(I first heard this song in a Philza PMV, if you're a mcyt fan then go check it out it's really good)
Hey so did I 👌
Same here :)
Same
Same here
Shared a similar experience :]
This song deserves so much more recognition.
there is something about “i am creation both haunted and holy, made in glory” that feels like the trans experience
Literally i related to the entire song besides the jesus christ lyric
Omg yes
"slowly I'm recovering, the beauty of discovery" too
No because this is exactly what I got from it I'M AN NB!!
Or just being human. You know?
There's a few mistakes toward the end, 'this' where its supposed to say 'these', 'years' where it's supposed be 'mirrors', and 'Haunting' where it's supposed to be 'Haunted'. I was confused by the wording and looked up the official lyrics.
I know. I made this video the day the song came out, and this were the lyrics that were in Genius. A few days/weeks later they uploaded the official lyrics, so you´re 100% right, im sorry.
I found this song from Philza
@@ImTorryTF2 same same
I'm really glad people take this song in so many forms to fit their own life. Makes it feel like a thing we can all kinda get behind and enjoy in our own right, which is nice.
I love how this seems to speak to everyone. My soul listened and it said, “This is it.”
I know this is supposed to be a Christian song but I think it more reflects the experience of religious trauma and healing after escaping the church.
Definitely as someone who was raised Christian and still working through religious trauma this feels more like a religious trauma song. I stepped away from church and the Bible but I still believe in something. It’s how I feel about myself and my belief now
As a Christian I love this song. It reflects feelings full of purpose, meaning and life as my Faith always was.
There are a few songs that really touch my soul. Chevelle - Shameful Metaphors & Radical Face's - Welcome Home and The Mute and now add this song to that list! This song speaks to my soul and I can't stop listening to it.
Praise the Lord!! This song just shows how God gets us through anything and everything!!
When people don't even need to be Christian to love this song
this is probably the best Christianity song out their because its not forcing religion and mentioning god every line, and it allows people to interpret it in so many ways.
As a Christian myself, that's what usually bothers me about a lot of modern Christian music. It's like they're screaming "WOOOOO, GOD IS SO LIT FELLOW KIDS"
all of the oh hellos music also is like this song
this was the song religiously (pun intended) listened to when i came out to my religious parents and they didnt accept me, ironic huh i really love this song
I was raised very strictly Christian and was very invloved in the church. Sadly it did cause a bunch of truma for me (most heavily with being part of the lgbt community). But sometimes I remember the good parts of it. When done right, this religion is such a beautiful belief. God truly wants people to all love each other no matter their identity. And the people i have met who practice this part of Christianity are som e of the kindest people I know.
This song has me remembering the parts of the church that i love and is making me genuinely consider re-joining the church
Hey my friend same here i love you :) and im proud of us:) and we'll be fine
You definitely should give it another try! Jesus is calling out to you, and once you join you’ll see all the people who love and support you!
There are plenty of liberal churches but I prefer conservative even if they dont fully accept me because they seem closer to the divine and I feel God better.
Same. After years of stepping away and trying to heal this has me remembering the pain but also the good I saw. I still feel most churches aren’t for me but I have a relationship with god. I’m glad you’re still here and I hope you find an amazing church to be with if you do decide to go back
Y'all can't take a fucking no
my religious trauma has made it impossible to listen to any “christian” song for years. when i realized this was one such song, i admit my first reaction was an immediate and hard “NO.”
but then i sat, and i listened, and i’m grateful for the poetry in the lyrics; that “christ” wasn’t shoved down my throat.
i still can’t sit through a full christian song without feeling like im being blinded by grief, but this one was healing in a strange way.
I feel very much the same way. I can handle this song for some reason but anything else just seems to send me into sadness
Same here!
No disrespect to you and any trauma you experienced. But this is like saying walking was ruined for you because you were attacked while walking.
Obviously whether you believe God or not, he would have created the universe if you did believe in him. Thus everything is owed to God, your identity, every breath you breathe, and the joy you have now.
To say something like it "ruins" the holiness of God is pretty insignifigant compared to God's unfathomable mercy and grace. We all go through painful experiences but I would think we shouldn't let that colour how we perceive life, and not hold onto fear.
@@TrifectShow None of us mentioned that our experiences “ruined” anything.
Respectfully, I do not believe in the christian god. Yes, my trauma has cemented this disbelief, but I left the faith of my own volition, not because people tainted it for me. Nor am I fearful. The christian god is not a loving god, and neither are most of his followers. There is no grace or mercy in historical biblical teachings, nor can those traits be found in most churches.
Saying you do not mean to belittle my trauma, and then comparing it to something as benign as walking, is rather distasteful.
Many, MANY people have been turned away from christian faith because of interactions like this.
But I hear you regardless, and wish you the best.
I love this song but it honestly irks me so much that “I am creation both haunted and holy, made in glory” is not followed by “even the depths of the night can not hold me”. I know the “blind me” line rhymes with “guide me” but and holy/hold me/glory/ is such a smooth rhyme 😩
this song is hauntingly holy in an absolutely beautiful way. im not a christian but like.. this is one of the few christian songs I like, it doesn't feel forceful or fake
I've never heard this song before but it feels like I've known it all my life.
This song really FEELS like Christ. Other gospel songs are just,,, talking about Christ and professing love for him. But this really just gives a wonderful feeling.
Who else came here from Channel Without A Name's philza pmv :>
me
I immediately felt the spirit of God on this song from the first lyric. I’m trans and just something about this makes me feel so at home. I grew up Christian and I can just imagine God telling me, “Welcome home my son..”
As someone who started developing paranoia because of religious trauma listening this song just make me cry in a good way. I started having second doubts when I see it was christian, I'm not really a christian but I believe in any Gods and Goddesses, but this song just flow with me and make me happy
This is so beautiful
Hard to believe that a singular video can reach up to hundreds of thousands of views, yet the channel who uploaded has so few subscribers, I don't mean this is any bad things toward the channel, it just... Amazes me. Love the song though, keep it up.
Hits different after watching a video on how the prehistoric past really looked like.
I wanna see it, i wanna experience that
@@orbismworldbuilding8428 the video is called "What Dinosaurs ACTUALLY Looked Like?" by the channel "Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell" feels like levelling up in real life tbh
Of dust I was born
Made of an image
Imperfections shown
Skin like glass
Bones like crumbling sand
Tattered and beat down
Given an unseen hand
Emptied inside made whole
Molded out of brokenness
Till we fall to the dust
This song inspired me to write this
This song reminds me of a character I made, and brings him back to my mind. A child of prophecy of a zealously religious city at the bottom of the sea, a boy king puppeted by the priests that raised him, stolen away the day he was born from the riffraff and rabble of the mines but never allowed to forget where he came from because no matter how holy he is he is impure, he is said to awaken the old god and yet does not know how. Sense of self and religious trauma are big with this guy if you can’t tell HEUFJFJFJGJG
Neat character!
It's really funny how almost all of these posts are from people who aren't Christians talking about how this song is a mood despite being Christian. Including this one. Got dang, I'm obsessed with this song. It's not overbearingly Christian or pressuring to follow the message of the song, just wonderfully positive, spiritual, and uplifting. Chef's kiss.
i'm not even christian (i unironically follow the radiance from hollow knight) but this songs fuckin great and i'm gonna rattle it around in my head until i get bored of it
Not a Christian by any means, but this song is actually so good. You can see this song in so many ways. Religion, healing, etc and it's just as beautiful. Wonderful song
This song is just a whole other vibe ✨
This is what Religious songs should be 🤟❤️

coming from a Christian going through religious doubt, this song helps me feel connected to God when I don't want to have connection to the church, it doesn't feel like it's being sang by a church, it feels like just the spirit is talking to me, the beautiful lyrics are surreal, and feel like something a holy being could bestow upon me
I see all these people saying “oh I’m not Christian” and as a Christian, I will tell you that it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t. I’ve been going to church all my life and I still come up with dumb takes like “Jesus would punch a cop” and “Joseph has no fuckin clue what’s going on but he loves and supports his Eldritch son anyways”
i’m not christian at all but this song brings me so much comfort
Es la primera vez que escucho la canción y veo la letra jaja, y no me pareció mal, me imagino un vídeo de ellos en una camioneta por una carretera, es bellísimo :'')
The really cute snake made me tap the video, I stayed because this is a great song
FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER!!
that screamed my mind while listening to the song :,) poor artificial human.
Life is scary but I trust God.
She reminds me of a genuine seeing mind and the self-confidence of when I was younger.
I'm not christian but holy shit this _outro_ oh my god
they did not need to go so hard??? like wtf it's so good
" Growing through the creature here
I'm trying to see when it's unclear
Hidden in the space between
The hero and the enemy
Early days and sleepless nights
Death and resurrection, life
My body is a sacred note
Sung between the flesh and hope
My dirt transformed within a breath
Before I took a single step
I'm looking forward to the day
When life can grow without decay
Humanity is not alone
When Jesus Christ sits on the throne
These hidden mirrors expose the mess
The selfish turns to selflessness
Haunted by a darker side
Transcends to walking in the light
And slowly I'm recovering
The beauty of discovery "
I am LOSING MY ENTIRE MIND
"I know I'm made of clay that's worn, blinded by imperfect form, but I will trust the artist molding me" that line hit me really hard because at the age of 8 I starved myself because I thought I was fat and ugly. I was nowhere close to the correct weight and have always been underweight so that part of the song struck me. I'm also not religious, I found this song because of a Ph1lza animation and liked it for that.
Soon as it started my left side started getting goosebumps to shivers running down my neck to my leg
I'm slowly learning to love myself, I don't care if I'm lying to myself or tricking it all or that I need meds to function so I can live I don't care, I just want to love who I am
i know this is about like, christianity, but it gives me all the vibes of learning to love and accept ones self as only human. also most of the religious lines can also be interpreted as just wholehearted devotion to anything, not just to a god, or specifically a christian god. i personally associate it with a living doll who does not know who created him, but hes glad that it did. eventually he starts to be the one building new bodies for himself and learns to trust himself. (and also hes incredibly in love with a beautiful sea goddess)
but yea, no hate, i can see every interpretation that people have mentioned in these comments, i just personally like to imagine my own characters in songs, like i imagine many people do
half alive: christian song
me, pagan: 🎶i am creation both haunted and holy 🎵 made in glory 🎵
Me, revisiting this after the latest Dragonspine event: _Albedo vibes intensify_
oh, my, you're right, I hadn't made that association, you're totally on point with that ~
Creature: Anything created.
Everything but Creator is Creature.
I think you nailed this
I came from Tiktok
Me too!
same :)
I'm no Christian but this song is honestly amazing
Okay so I know a ton of people are here because of some DSMP animatic or other, but like. Is anyone else here because of that one Frankenstein animatic?? The really really hauntingly beautiful one by Vvarx? If not, go watch that. It's very good and you won't regret it, even if you have zero idea what's happening in the video lol
Love how this is obviously a Christian song and it was immediately claimed by the gays, keep up the good work gays
I think it's a good sign to be able to see and interpret this song as something personal -- against its religious direction. Especially when selfish people hiding under the guise of Christianity have been nothing but something to defend myself against, and has tried to destroy the few things I appreciate. It's a valuable milestone, as quiet as it is.
Thank you for the video, this is one of my favorite songs by this band! Mind if I ask where did you find the art or if you made it yourself? It looks neat 😊
*Heck* yeah. Love me music about healing from religious trauma and still choosing to follow Christianity.
I am but a creature, flesh and bone and blood. Molded by creation to think, breath, and explore. I may be insignificant in the grand scheme, but I am also part of it. To live is proof of one's importance, for something so rare as life is valuable. We all have our roles, whether big or small, we all transcend the dead matter of space. Only in the darkest nights do the stars shine brightest.
3:40
I've seen blinded by and blighted by which one is it either way its a banger of a line
It’s “blighted by imperfect form” as in having a severe detriment on

1:55 is the best part 👌
As an atheist, I love this song
Phi1za's amv is all I can think about when I hear this.
Not usually into modern Christian Music (more of an Orthodox Hymn guy), but this is pretty nice
It's on the more subtle side,
like The Oh Hellos
Believe it or not, this song can also really fit the Luciferian philosophy and I'm loving it. What a beautiful song.
me facina
I may not be Christian, but I think the thing some people miss about this song, is that that is kind of the point. It may have religious undertones, but the emotion and words of the song aren’t here to preach about the god all of these homophobic pigs have created to make excuses to say “no it’s okay to hate these people because so and so says they are bad”. The message I took from this song is that no matter how different, no matter how ‘dim’ this room we are all inside grows, no matter what happens. We are creations that are haunted, and holy. We are who we chose to be, and the only person who can decide that for us, is us. We chose our own path, whether it be pushing through a transphobic father as the pansexual gender fluid creature you are to love the man you love, even if according to the person trying to get in your way, that man isn’t a man, or just being yourself and discovering who you are through the trials and tribulations of the human experience. No matter what situation, no matter how suspiciously specific it may be, you are not alone because you have people who love for, and care about you. Whoever you are, you are fantastic, no go kick whatever snake haunts your life in the teeth and leave your footprint in the sands of time. You can do this, we all believe in you~
"We are who we chose to be, and the only person who can decide that for us, is us."
I think you're wrong.
The song literally says, "I will trust the one who molded me." You are not in charge here. He is the decider. You have to trust Him.
This comment is just LGBTQA+ ethics trying to hide their own bigotry deep down.
The same thing you claim Christains have, you have, too
Meaning it doesn't really matter, because that means not you or any Christain are both wrong.
Thank you RUclips recommendations :)
This song is amazing
Look inside of me and see that I am not afraid
To walk inside the void like a kid inside a cave
Discovering the patterns of my soul and where it's placed
I've been mapping many caverns, but it still feels like a maze
I know I'm made of clay that's worn
Blinded by imperfect form
I will trust the artist molding me
I am creation both haunted and holy, made in glory
Even the depths of the night cannot blind me, when You guide me
Creature only
Look inside my heart and find a perilous ravine
Carved within the beauty, the darkness in between
Standing in the balance of complete and incomplete
I identify the echo of what is and what will be
I know I'm made of clay that's worn
Blinded by imperfect form
I will trust the artist molding me
In a room that's growing dim
Illuminated from within
The pull of tension's empathy
I am creation both haunted and holy, made in glory
Even the depths of the night cannot blind me, when You guide me, oh
I am creation both haunted and holy, made in glory
Even the depths of the night cannot blind me, 'cause what comes
Creature only
Creature only
Creature only
(Oh, oh!)
Creature only
Growing through the creature here
I'm trying to see what is so clear
Hidden in the space between
The hero and the enemy
Early days and sleepless nights
Death and resurrection, life
My body is a sacred note
Sung between the flesh and hope
My dirt transformed within a breath
Before I took a single step
I'm looking forward to the day
When life can grow without decay
Humanity is not alone
When Jesus Christ sits on the throne
These hidden mirrors expose the mess
The selfish turns to selflessness
Haunted by a darker side
Transcends to walking in the light
Slowly I'm recovering
The beauty of discovering
This energy is so good, being a queer Christian i love this song so much
“Standing in the balance of complete and incomplete”. I’ve never related to anything more 1:44
This song just feels like my escapism/manifestation
I'm a trans satanist and this song really resonates with me, I like it a lot.
This song reminds me if Detroit: Become Human 🥲
Mostly Conner and Markus
All these people out here talking about self reflection and stuff. Makes me wonder if they know how.
*When this was suppose to be for Christians but it touches the souls of everyone else too*
That's how you know it's a good one
I feel like for me it's more trusting someone who loves you despite you being flawed and pained. I love music that can have so many different interpretations like that
The core belief of Christianity is, at its heart, is that the Almighty God loves all people equally and is a cosmic source of redemption and absolution.
That has a universal appeal, I'd say.
does anyone know where the art for the background is found?
anyone coming to this after the recent post where it's this picture with Sonny???
