    the quote "Motivation feeds the hungry mind. So I guess starving tells me something I knew all along." really hit me hard....

      Does it mean that there is a big lack of motivation?

    • @mikaren2763
      @mikaren2763 8 лет назад +46

      Yes, which is most likely caused by depression

    @Pyrelord Artorias - Hey man, I'd love to reply to your comments, but you have your Google+ settings setup in a way that In cannot reply to them. If you see this, hopefully you can mitigate the problem. Oh, and to answer your question, I've been making a lot more songs with higher BPM's lately. I hope to release those with PV's in the future.

      I don't think Ruuya has posted it anywhere but the image is on my website (northerncrossmusic.net). You can probably be able to pull it from there using your browser's console.

    • @curseagent
      @curseagent 8 лет назад +3

      +xCepheid what musical scale is this song on? (E. G. C major, G minor, etc.)

    • @xCepheid
      @xCepheid  8 лет назад +16

      +Diva Of the century (Diva-P) G-Minor for the intro, verse, and outro, C-Minor for the pre-chorus, chorus, breakdown, and bridge. I actually originally intended it to be completely C-Minor, but the way I composed it, certain parts sounded like G-minor. If you solo over the song in either key, they both work (for the most part), it's kinda weird lol.

    I am a VOCALOID junkie. I have seen it all, from entry-level producers to obscure ones, and from heartbreakingly tuned songs to realistic and breathy ones. However, I have never seen a song as fantastic as this one. It has some of the most multidimensional, emotional, and rhetorical lyrics and tuning that I have ever witnessed. You, my friend, are impeccably talented in so many ways. I only subscribe to the best, and here you are on my list.

  • @jasmine3572

    The feeling put into this music really hit me hard. It's like 5:29 and I have school in an hour and a half, and I'm just sitting here anxious and about to snap. I can't do my work I need to graduate and I just feel like ripping out my skin. But listening to this music helps me voice my emotion in a rational way to myself. A coping strategy I guess. I really appreciate the creator of this song. Thanks.

    Lyrics~
    Wake up feeling like a
    New day needs me
    But the clock reads three
    and I slump back into my bed
    Motivation feeds
    the hungry mind
    So I guess starving tells me
    something I knew all along
    Spend the day reflecting
    my mistakes
    In the end, it means nothing
    If I can’t pursue my dreams
    Fall asleep into a
    darker place
    Where my mind shuts off for the day
    and recolects in peace
    Lie awake while
    the colours fade away
    The truth is, I never changed
    Black to white is still grey
    Lie awake while
    the colours fade
    Living every day
    cast in shadow
    Living in contempt
    rash and shallow
    -Colours splash violently-
    -aberrant, suddenly-
    -Mask your eyes silently-
    -from the truth, blissfully-
    Ignorance born from
    chained emotions
    Weakness born from
    fear of false notions
    -Colours splash violently-
    -aberrant, suddenly-
    -Mask your eyes silently-
    -colours fading-
    Lie awake while
    the colours fade away
    The truth is, I never changed
    Black to white is still grey
    Lie awake while
    the colours fade
    Living every day
    cast in shadow
    Living in contempt
    rash and shallow
    -Colours splash violently-
    -aberrant, suddenly-
    -Mask your eyes silently-
    -from the truth, blissfully-
    Ignorance born from
    chained emotions
    Weakness born from
    fear of false notions
    -Colours splash violently-
    -aberrant, suddenly-
    -Mask your eyes silently-
    -colours fading-

    • @xCepheid
      @xCepheid  7 лет назад +1

      I have never written anything happy. Part of the reason I make music is to express the emotions I cannot express normally. Most of these emotions are negative. Also, metal and rock sounds really lame in a major key.

    I can mostly see the meaning of this song, but if someone could tell me the meaning in their opinion so that I could be sure, that'd be great. ^-^ Thanks

      +Chaosity The song is about lack of inspiration. Being stagnant and watching the world change as you stay in the same place. At least, that's the gist of it.

      with the splashing of sudden violent colors and trying to mask them away with your eyes, I felt like this was a mention to hallucinations / schizophrenia

    I bought your album recently and this was one of my most favorite songs. Glad to see it got a video of its own - much less from the wonderful video editor .nova I see ;)

    Hello sir/ma'am I was wondering if you would mind if I covered your songs at some point? They are all so beautiful and I would love to cover such masterpieces.

      xCepheid You're very welcome! Ironically enough, I just released my first two- song vocarock EP (although it's got metal breakdowns thrown in there). It's released through Vocallective Records, here's the link: store.vocallective.net/album/now-that-i-know
      If you wanted to check it out, it would really mean a lot. Thanks! Keep up the good work! :)
