Some Native American traditions believe that when Death comes you have the chance to dance your last dance and Death has no choice but to watch. The wooden Native American looking into the distance is a tell tale sign of this artistic vision.

It looks like they used that filming technique where you choreograph to the song at a faster tempo but then in editing, you slow the footage down to match the actual song tempo which creates this uncanny, lagging effect. It works really well with the video, it feels both frantic and delirious, like how it feels to run in a dream

[boldyeller]

This song is a musical mosaic of nostalgia, longing, grief, and comfort...forming a feeling that has no name.

[joolenka]

This song feels like waking up from one of those really weird dreams when you take a nap in the afternoon and when you open your eyes it's already dark out and you feel so unsettled.

[calebmarkovich]

This creates a mood I cannot get anywhere else. It leaves me wanting more and so empty as the same time. It creates the feeling of nothingness.

It's strange to think that the song will be 10 years old in 2025 at the same time you feel that the vibe it gives is as if it were recent.

[matthewdelgado]

This song was way ahead of its time. It wasn't for good times like 2010s, it was for hard times like 2020s

I love how as the song progresses, the main cheerleader slowly gets more and more "dead" looking. The first half, she only has a few bruises, scuffs and cuts. Once she rejoins her team, she's as dead as the rest of them. It's so bittersweet from her realization that she too has died in the crash. So bittersweet that it literally makes me choke up and want to cry for them.

I was searching for Korn and I typed Lorn. Now I'm hearing this song over and over. The best mistype I've made.

To film this music video: The audio was sped up to 2x time while the dancers were doing their best to keep up! Then, during editing, they slowed the footage back down to create this floating ghost effect. I absolutely love this music video ❤ So creative! ⭐️

All of these years later...still, chills. What a well-executed vision.

This isn't even just a song or a dance video. This is an experience

[jordanlarson]

I just noticed the missing clock hands, representing how time no longer applies in the twilight of limbo as their souls have left their bodies. wow

[RedHeatedStepChild]

You cant get the song without the video and you cant get the video without the song. You get both you get an understanding that this is a masterpiece without reason.

I love how the second and third dancer seem to know very well what happened. They have blank expressions, are focused on the dance. The first dancer is shaken, confused and in pain. She dances somewhoat involuntarily as if to establish she's well and alive. The others already know. Specially the third dancer, who pops eerily behind the POV and beckons us to follow her to the final dance.

[coldsake]

dude... i cannot get over this video and song. Its like the saddest most beutiful thing i have seen. and everytime i watch it i feel like i knid of understand it a bit more, its so haunting, does anyone else get choked up watching this?

“If a dying warrior has limited power, his dance is short; if his power is grandiose, his dance is magnificent. But regardless of whether his power is small or magnificent, death must stop to witness his last stand on earth. Death cannot overtake the warrior who is recounting the toil of his life for the last time until he has finished his dance”
- Journey To Ixtlan

[CallynAnderson]

I was high tripping while watching this. Holy shit! Try this shit dude

[jnjbrozihiflegend]

Every year I come back to remind myself that a music video about deceased, dancing cheerleaders can be poetic with the right music.

I'm loving the comment section on this video. It's like we're in an art gallery discussing a standout piece.
