Halocene - THE MIRROR feat @VioletOrlandi (Official Music Video)

Halocene and Violet Orlandi team up and use religious symbolism to describe the harm caused by people with a god complex. They often oppress, shame, and otherwise disparage others for not following their way of life.

Do you bleed?
Take the name of God
You believe you’re above us all

You are not a saint at all
Pushed me up against the wall
Fist to wrist
Everlasting ignorance
Forgive me father, I have sinned
And I liked it

I am the killer, you are the mirror
Why do you smile while you’re watching me bleed
I’m just a sinner, you are the winner
Forcing me down until I’m on my knees
And the saddest scene plays on the screen
Again and again and again
I am the killer, you are the mirror
Why do you smile while you’re watching me bleed

Do you feast
On the sound of praise
Like a beast
That consumes my days

You are not a saint at all
Pushed me up against the wall
Fist to wrist
Everlasting ignorance
Forgive me father, I have sinned
And I liked it

I am the killer, you are the mirror
Why do you smile while you’re watching me bleed
I’m just a sinner, you are the winner
Forcing me down until I’m on my knees
And the saddest scene plays on the screen
Again and again and again
I am the killer, you are the mirror
Why do you smile while you’re watching me bleed

Nothing but a reflection left of your projection

I am the killer, you are the mirror
Why do you smile while you’re watching me bleed
I’m just a sinner, you are the winner
Forcing me down until I’m on my knees
And the saddest scene plays on the screen
Again and again and again
I am the killer, you are the mirror
This is the last time you will see

Do you bleed?
Take the name of God
You believe you’re above us all

[ColeRolland]

An absolute HIT from start to finish! CRUSHED THIS.

[skitskit]

"why do you smile while you're watching me bleed" felt..

[NerdOut]

You guys absolutely killed this!
Never disappoint!

Easter eggs I noticed:

- At 2:26 we see Violet's cameo in the mirror from When Demons Come to Life (3:18 in that video) reappear inside Addie's head. Seeing as this video is a prequel to When Demons Come to Life (see third bullet point), could this be a premonition?

- The pills at 2:43: the white round one is a sedative (you can see the A2 on one if you pause it), the white capsule is a painkiller, and the red and white one is likely an antibiotic but could be a painkiller, I couldn't see markings clear enough. This may mean they have the option to take the painkiller and just push through, take the sedative and go to sleep and escape everything, or take the antibiotic and actually treat the metaphorical infected wound. Or it might just mean these were the pills they had on hand.

- At 3:39, Addie is in the same position as she is at the beginning of When Demons Come to Life, indicating that this video is a prequel.


Some other random things:

- One of Addie's necklaces is a heart inside a heart. Could this represent that her heart feels completely encapsulated in and smothered by this person who things they're superior to everyone?

- Every time Violet sings "I am the killer", her demon eye is turned closer to the camera

[AnnemiekeDebloois-]

i will officially say that halocene is my favorite independent rock band. this original is so absolute fire y'all @Halocene

[H_ngm_n]

The Violet + Addie harmonies never disappoint. Another killer track everyone!

[EhrineAshbark]

There aren't many ways that Halocene originals can get better (they're all bangers), but adding either Violet or Lauren seems to do the trick. So the ultimate question is... When do we get an original with all of you together :D

Killer as always!

[AlannaSterling]

GOOSEBUMPS FOR 4 MINS STRAIGHT!!!
Violet's makeup/contact is SUCH A LOOK holy hell, hope that comes back soon!
WELL DONE YALL!

[MelodickaBros]

Sick song! Both the audio and the visual production are on another level

[BainneK]

FAVOURITE. OUTRO. EVER!! Slightly overshadows the song itself lol. Song is awesome though. Love the slow Rock style. Haunting is what Violet does best. Good luck with the tours!!!

[henryb]

I know its a Halocene music video but DAMN, Violet is so talented and beautiful

[hayley]

I AM THE KILLER YOU ARE THE MIRROR!!!! I’m singing this and so happy

[nerdswagofficial]

Let me first say that I am a Christian. I go to church, read the Bible, and volunteer in my community. This song hits home in many ways, because there are so many believers that do look down on those that don't believe. I am personally a fan of Violet and Addie, have been since the beginning and absolutely love this song. Thank you for speaking about the things others are unable to talk about regularly. I'm rooting for you guys. Love you all

[BRx]

THIS 1000% SLAPS. I love the slow flow of this original, it lets you digest the lyrics better and it tells a helluva story. Of course the production is A+ as usual. You nailed it again!

[adriannebee]

Well time to put this on loop while I write.

[jillian]

This new one is epic! Addie and Violet and everyone sound amazing on this, and everything came together spectacularly with the video! Also so great to finally see Addie, Violet and Lauren together in the same room at the end!

[jasonfisher]

So, so cool that you are all actually together irl!!

[tempest]

This song is awesome! Now that you've done an original with both Lauren & Violet separately, I look forward to when all three of you join together for an original. Excellent job, ladies!

[vhoon]

Such depth, I know I keep saying keep pushing. This is only because YOU are the only way forward. Proud of you my friends. Take on the world. Own it.

[patriciabradley]

This is just haunting. The twin vocals, the harmonies, the imagery. Top shelf. Totally amazing.
