Thank GOD this song still exists. Otherwise world would be boring.

[SarahSakura]

The main character, "Arthur Mura, " faces a predicament that touches on deep philosophical issues about identity and the price of survival. Coerced by those in power to alter his very being, he had to choose between living unrecognizably or not living at all. This choice raises the question: what makes us who we are? Is it our looks, our memories, our families? Very ironic ending. Poignant reminder of how our identities are perceived by others—and how losing the essence of who we are can ultimately be our downfall, even if it's done in the name of safety. Beautiful music and cinematography set to a compelling story. Love this one.

[Takeonm]

This video was a whole film. So many things to unwrap but it’s a masterpiece

[TheWhite]

People never cease to amaze me, both artist that I love makes a perfect song

[marielakatrin]

This is Art, every single second of its story, photography, when it catches your soul, thoughts and leaves you thinking about your life. How detach yourself from the system asphyxia and controlled manipulation and so many messages...love it...

[Dannybaauw]

I am in all kinds of states right now.

This is so uncomfortably comforting.

It's like, "it's ok, relax"

I'd like to be in control of what I do or do not let go though.

[woltic]

This song has been the turning point of my life almost year ago.

Can you leave everything that you can't control?
Can you let it go?

And so it reminded me of temporary nature of life.
Also how a favorite artist BPMoore mentioned in one of his songs - "You are a product of your environment, so choose one that helps you towards your goals."

It's matter of letting go of harmful things in spite of the long-play called life.
It's subtle and beautiful message delivered in a creative way.

Oh, and.. I totally love the transition. Truly, one of million masterpieces humanity has created.

Keep going. Keep being awesome.
And thank you ❤️.

So many of Nto's songs have such a great visceral mood to them. Such a brilliant vibe.

[SynthoidSounds]

This is so much more than "just" a music video. Excellent production, story, music, perfectly put together. This is the 2nd NTO production I've seen, both superbly done.

[abnerbriones]

Monolink and NTO are trying to tell us something deep and scary about our society

[TheSniperseven]

this dong has been on repeat since i discovered it<3

[ourgrnd]

Lyrics :
Oh, the night is casting shadows
As I follow you along
Down rivers into open fields
You’re running on and on
-
Sometimes you’ll turn around then
To see me fallen far behind
I’m trying to keep up with you
But I feel you’re running blind
-
You must leave
Everything
That you can’t control
That you can’t control
Can you leave
Everything
That you cannot control
Can you let it go
-
Can you feel how they are coming
Into your head, into your home
Performing all their tricks on you
They won’t leave you alone
-
And I see how you are falling
For them and all their lies
While you believe in magic now
I still believe my eyes
-
Yоu muѕt lеаvе
Еvеrуthіng
Тhаt уоu саn’t соntrоl
Тhаt уоu саn’t соntrоl
Саn уоu lеаvе
Еvеrуthіng
Тhаt уоu саnnоt соntrоl
Саn уоu lеt іt gо ...

Just wow! Love the message behind this beautiful track. Watch the video once. Then put on headphones and close your eyes for almost 6 minutes. That will give you some scary vibes if you think about this world.

[svi]

Das Musikvideo regt zum Nachdenken an. Wirklich unglaublich.

[esteandre]

Repeat.... repeat repeat, can't get enough 😅🎉

[OliGramoli]

I came here for exciting moment 03:58
This song has been saved on my "eargasm" playlist 👌 gotta show it to my best friends

[agorbmk]

If I could like this masterpiece more than once I would. The world needs to hear it, see it and talk about it!

[mikeARmusic]

Im speechless....

An absolute masterpiece.

-a trillion images, feelings, and dopaminebombs exploding in my brain right now....
...but no words.

Im speechless.

[Linguistie]

I love it. The guy with the envelope looks like a perfect fit, too!

[A.zeyada]

aside from this spectacular video, the lyrics are just an amazing piece of art, very interesting and packed with questions,
the text explores themes of control, surrender, and the struggle between illusion and reality. It reflects the internal conflict of trying to keep up with something or someone that is elusive and beyond one's control.
The repeated questioning about leaving and letting go suggests a deeper message about the necessity of releasing attachments to things that cannot be controlled, even when faced with deception and external influences that cloud judgment.
The imagery of running and following - emphasizes the pursuit of something unattainable and the ultimate need to let go.
and this 'something' is what?
love? a man or a woman? happiness? career? belief system? freedom of choice?

it's your job to apply your own prospective.
