Daft Punk's hidden secret in 'Epilogue' revealed? - This happens when you sync Touch with Epilogue

First... please support Daft Punk and buy "Random Access Memories" if you haven't already owned this masterpiece:

Video description:
Both videos are synced to each other at their first frame. I tried multiple sync points but this made most sense and had the biggest impact for me.

Need more info? 🔽

This is an edit of two official Daft Punk videos "Touch" (2014) and "Epilogue" (2021)
They are synced with each other by frames, timecode and audio waves.

NOTE: "Epilogue" is made out of scenes from the movie "Daft Punk's Electroma" which was released in (2006)

I did cut "Epilogue" ones as mentioned in the video to compensate what "Epilogue" allready cut out of "Daft Punk's Electroma"

Please have a look at the official videos aswell!

When I heard the song and video side by side, I can't help but notice the two having a conversation using the song. It might be a stretch, but I see it clear as day. I will write the voicelines here:
T: Thomas (white robot)
G: Guy (gold robot)
T is slowing down his pace.
T mentally: "Touch.... Touch, I remember Touch. Touch...."
T Out Loud: "Touch, I remember touch, where do I belong? Touch, I need something more."
Guy, turning around: "I remember Touch." (Credit: Synthesizer Patel)
T: "I need something more. In my mind."
G, now walking towards T: "Touch, I remember Touch. Pictures came with Touch. A painter in my mind, tell me what you see."
T, looking up towards G, describing what he sees in G: "A Tourist in a dream. A visitor it seems. A half-forgotten song... Where do I belong? Tell me what you see, I need something more."
T starts removing his jacket.
G, describing what he sees in T: "Kiss, suddenly alive, happiness arrive."
T, describing how he feels: "Hunger like a storm, how do I begin?"
G: "A room within a room."
T, turning his back towards G, revealing the killswitch: "A door behind a door."
G, looking down at the switch: "Touch, where do you lead?"
T: "I need something more..." (camera focuses on the killswitch, signifying what T wants)
G, desperate to remind his friend on who he is to T: "Tell me what you see!"
T: "I need something more..."
Then the killswitch is thrown, the music timing is pretty much perfect when it counts to 0.

This is essentially the convo i saw and felt when i saw this video, I hope it can provide answers to some mystery, it might even be the answer =]

Head home, Thomas, Guy... Don't lose touch.

the moment thomas blows up and then they start singing that gave me chills

[eraaaa.]

The fact they used the most iconic scene of Electroma and used the (arguably) most emotional part of Touch in their finale video still blows my mind. It's such a heartfelt way of saying goodbye. It feels so strange and still so surreal to know that they're gone, but they left knowing exactly how to tug at our heartstrings and get to our emotions. They never did change, I hope they have a good time in retirement.

[spacextreme]

They almost became robots. It’s time for them to retire and be humans again

[emnstuff]

I once promised myself that if they ever toured I would travel anywhere just to see them once. Never got to, but I can live with the knowledge that they released some of my favorite music in my lifetime. I just hope they didnt retire due to an illness or something bad personally. I keep hoping there will be one more album, or a final send off tour, but alas, knowing them, this is probably the only goodbye we'll get. And that's okay.

[juanbacarreza]

you can sync instant crush as well and itll will appear like they are having a dialogue about not making music

[elmobrandao]

My personal theory: Daft Punk disbanded 9999 days and 9 hours after they begun, around october of 93

[SaberFoxAUS]

Daft Punk will return for a world tour in a couple years and the tour will be called "One more time"

[Tekutteku]

As someone who's been a fan since I was 12, their announcement really got me into tears ngl. I've probably listened to their 2013 album countless times. Will miss them for sure.

[SebastianRodriguez-svhe]

I still get chills when the first “holdddd onnn” comes on :, )

[seancoakley]

That part at the end, when he sings "you almost convinced me I was real" and then the lyrics start sounding more broken up, layered with that chorus singing "if love is the answer, you're home" it makes me think the man is coming to this realization, and that his speech becoming more broken up is him slowly letting go of his pain and loneliness, as if he realized that he was the source of his despair and now for the first time in his life he has allowed love to enter his heart. He is now home, and he is now at peace.

[alphalax]

Maybe Touch really was just a song about Electroma. The song describes about how something/someone "almost made them convince they were real" and the movie is all about the robots becoming humans, or real even. The song is also clearly describing some sort of machine that made them feel this way, and in the movie, the human skins and the auto-destruction buttons were created from a machine. It really was the perfect song to end their career to.

[superjesse]

It's almost painful to know they're gone. :(

[iamsushi]

This was attempt 2 at trying to watch epilogue. First attempt was the day it released.

It hasn’t gotten any easier

[joeyfrogger]

How many times will these beautiful bastards make me cry...

[kaz]

Idk when i will be able to listen to Touch without crying again.

[NostalgiCrazy]

Touch is already emotional but now I cannot listen to it or I will always feel like crying. I really don't know if we should hold onto hope that they'll release music together again, but if they did that would feel like real closure for sure!

Nice finding, thank for sharing!

Honestly, I am still obsessed with the "02:22:21" at the beginning of the epilogue. It struck me instantly when I saw the video on the day of the upload. No one writes the date with colon ":" in between the numbers, it should be either ".", "/" or "-". With the colon, it looks like a timestamp and I am 99% sure it is fully intentional, they wouldn't make a mistake on that.
Also, as you mentionned in one of your comments below, why does it stop just before "home" at 07:51? Exactly 2m21s after the start of this final walking shot. Cannot be cut like that unintentionally!
