Haven’t heard this song in a couple years. man. It’s 1am and I’m about to sleep and suddenly I remembered these guys. Was a nice choice to stay up a little longer to look them up. Memory lane here I come... 💙

[TheRealBroJode]

and im still here. Looking back now, it is amazing how far we've come.

[kyliesocreative]

I swear to god this is one of the most beautiful music videos I've ever seen.

lyrics:

Don't be afraid
Of the smoke in our grenades
It won't sting your eyes

And I'm gonna plan
Gonna go out and start a fight
I won't desert you

How come the sun don't shine on me?
Anymore
You know, you know

And how come the sun don't shine on me?
Anymore
You know, you know

Don't be afraid
Of the smoke in our grenades
It won't sting your eyes

And I'm gonna plan
Gonna go out and start a fight
I won't desert you

La, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da, da
Oooh

La, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da, da
Oooh

How come the sun don't shine on me?
Anymore
You know, you know

And how come the sun don't shine on me?
Anymore
You know, you know

La, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da, da
Oooh

La, da, da, da
La, da, da, da, da, da
Oooh

My perception on this video was that he was on the verge of death, and the only way for him to stay alive was to become what he is now. Right before he was changed, he realised it was not worth it. Not soon after, he was left alone by the only one he loved. By being transformed he could live nearly forever. The empty city where he lived represents his life, as though it was torn from his grasp. The movie he watches represents the memories of when he was once human and all those happy times that he no longer has. Once he was no longer devoted to living, he pulled the plug and ended his life.

I'm not sure which is more devastatingly sad yet incredibly beautiful.... The song, or the video.
Put together.... Quite breathtaking.

I bought their first hard copy cd when they first released it. Such an underrated band. 💙

[munizsims]

I swear to god it's so criminal how underrated and under appreciated this band is.

[Anyrhing]

one of the best music videos of all time

[TeegMonkey]

Listened to this song while I was recovering from a back surgery two years ago.... The time flies when you can hardly remember anything.

[carlosjavier]

My theory is that he was diagnosed with cancer (if you notice at the beggining of the video there was a pink flag that represents cancer) and he started to see days and life differently. The robot means he didn't feel anything at all, he was just lost and didn't know what to do. (Remeber robots are machines that don't stop because they don't feel and cancer patients are in a constant battle of pain everyday which makes the robot reference to make us understand that pain is an everyday thing just like a robot that is programmed to do something without stoping). After he was diagnosed with cancer he got depression and he was fighting to get out of it but when his girlfriend left him, his life was over and he lost the war with depression and cancer and gave his life because he couldn't handle it anymore.

I watch this for the first time in like four years and the nostalgia factor made it too powerful.

[LiliumCruorem]

Man this was one of the first songs I learnt on guitar. Always come back to it in “those” times.

[israalvarez]

Hands down the most raw, real, and hauntingly beautiful song/video I've ever seen. Yes it's sad and tragic, but there's just something about it that's achingly beautiful. Beautiful is really not a good term to describe the feeling.
Also...when he walks outside and sees that scarf in the wind...feels. This is so well done and deserves an award.

[Ash-sqkx]

Such an incredible music video that deserves more views, it's being slept on

[bretthicksomega]

Watch video

Look for comfort in the comments

Dont find comfort

Curl up on the floor

Try not to cry

Cry a

[soydog]

this song will forever bring me goosebumps. i've been listening to this song since it came out. it's 2017 now. i feel like a scared kid again. i'm doing so much better now, i just think about how if i could've gone back in time to just comfort that kid self of mine. just to tell them that every thing is going to be amazing one day, that it's okay to be yourself

[victoriasterhova]

I was trying to find this song for 4 years, omg I'm so happy I found it again !!

[ashhernandez]

My ex sang this song to me and every since then I've been in love with it.. We broke up two months ago and it's been extremely hard.. We had our own place together and I ruined that too.. If you happen to see this someday when you watch this, I'll always love you Vicente 💔

[zombiehunter]

Im not going to lie i cried the first time i saw this . The brilliant imagery with the vocals is just perfection, im moved every time i watch this.
