It's tradition that we must randomly return here. No matter what.

[lionheartlb]

You don't just look for this song, this song finds you...when the time is right.

[TITPIG]

This isn't your first time here.
Welcome back.

[MadhanBhavani]

Thank you, 'Remedy Entertainment', for introducing me to this band!!

[vsen]

Breaks my heart.

[ayanbose]

This is the proof, that meaningful music doesn't need a billion veiws! So, whoever listens and feels this song is a true listener!😊

[disneyfun]

Why is this band SO underrated??!! I literally came across them by accidentally searching up a title of their song. Their songs are unlike any other band and their music videos are also so cool!! I say his everytime, but their music and videos literally remind me of movies! Bro I wish they were known more ⚡️

Someone here commented "You don't just look for this song, this song finds you...when the time is right." Damn!

Those who want to undersrtand the song:
The world has been depicted as a carnival with all sorts of exciting things around. The lover stands caged, yearning for the woman's 'rain of love' in the 'carnival of rust', crying his soul out, but the woman is pulled towards all the superficial glories around, symbolized in the video by games, toys, riches, and magic shows. Smitten by this superficiality, she wants to experience everything. Greed seems to take over as she is restless and wondering what all to try and what not. Her eyes glimmer with the luster of these temporary media of joy—she imagines being on the swing and the adrenaline rush that it'd bring, or soothing her taste buds with a candy. Basically, as is true in life as well, her possessions (coins) are limited and she is confused about where to use them and who really deserves them/her. Hypnotized by the fake beauty of the world, she doesn't realize that her real happiness lies in love, in that soul helplessly craving for her attention.

While for the world, she is a just another nobody, like a customer at one of those stalls in a carnival. They call out to her, try to impress her, try to show to her that her happiness lies with them but once their purpose is solved (the money is in), she is a nobody for them again. And all the while, her lover is yearning for her attention, wanting to give her all the happiness she is struggling to find in things superficial and fake. In a way, she unknowingly objectifies him—comparing him with various material pleasures and then choosing the latter.

And when she realizes that she is still not happy, not at peace, is still incomplete and none of the riches (symbolized by the doll she wins as a prize) can give her true happiness and peace, she looks back to search for her lover, but he is gone now. Forever. It's too late. #copied

This is the kind of music people need to listen to these days. Powerful lyrics, a trippy video and such in your face yet subtle symbolism.

[PikaStu]

I came here thanks to their (Old Gods of Asgard) performance of Herald of Darkness at the Game Awards. Can't believe I've never listened to their huge back catalogue of tunes not featured in Remedy video games! Ridiculously talented band \m/ \m/

LYRICS

D'you breathe the name of your saviour
In your hour of need?
And taste the blame if the flavor
Should remind you of greed
Of implication, insinuation, and ill-will
'Til you cannot lie still
In all this turmoil, before red cape and foil
Come closing in for a kill
Come feed the rain
'Cause I'm thirsty for your love
Dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah, feed the rain
'Cause without your love, my life
Ain't nothing but this carnival of rust, oh
It's all a game, avoiding failure
When true colors will bleed
All in the name of misbehavior
And the things we don't need
I lust for after, no disaster can touch
Touch us anymore
And more than ever, I hope to never fall
Where enough is not the same it was before
Come feed the rain
'Cause I'm thirsty for your love
Dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah, feed the rain
'Cause without your love, my life
Ain't nothing but this carnival of rust
Yeah, feed the rain
'Cause I'm thirsty for your love
Dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah, feed the rain
'Cause without your love, my life
Ain't nothing but this carnival of rust (carnival of rust)
Don't walk away
Don't walk away, oh, when the world is burning
Don't walk away
Don't walk away, oh, when the heart is yearning
Don't walk away
Don't walk away, oh, when the world is burning
Don't walk away
Don't walk away, oh, when the heart is yearning

I cannot believe how it has taken me TWELVE years to find this beautiful hidden gem. It's sad in a way, imagine how many great masterpieces like this one are out there, hidden, waiting to be discovered.
