An epic collage may draw upon elements of Spoken Word, Poetry, or Radio Drama which is most frequently exhibited through (but not limited to) the use of text-to-speech transcription, clips of spoken ASMR, and samples from various pop media (film or video game dialogue, interviews, viral videos, etc.). Epic collage artists are also commonly defined by their ability to decontextualize recognizable samples (such as vocal stems from Pop, Contemporary R&B, Trap, or Nu Metal tracks) and provide them with a seemingly conflicting sonic backdrop which thusly results in a Mashup (or mess-up) that strives to be greater than the sum of its parts, oftentimes conveying gravitas as opposed to the levitas of a more conventional mashup (though perhaps a blurring of the lines between the two).
Releases in this style may emulate the pounding trailer impacts and machine gun clatter of Chino Amobi’s Paradiso, or they might favour the rustling forest critters of Sentinel’s Murmur, or even the stretched and distorted samplework of Amnesia Scanner & Bill Kouligas’s Lexachast, regardless of the aesthetic relation they all share with deconstructed club.
Gospel for a New Century
Yves Tumor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can be your all, ain't no problem, baby
You can be more but you're heartless, darling, oh
But I've already solved it
Say what you really mean, take it softer
I looked you in your eyes, it was over
'Cause when I really needed you the most, yeah, you were gone then
That Summer, but I can't be there
And this ain't by design, I adore you
I really wanna be there, oh (oh)
This ain't by design, girl
Take it softer
You know I'm out my mind, girl
Don't make this harder
Come and light my fire, baby
How much longer 'til December?
Say what you really mean
Take it softer
I looked you in your eyes, it was over
'Cause when I really needed you the most, yeah, you were gone then
That Summer, but I can't be there
And this ain't by design, I adore you
I really wanna be there, oh (oh)
This ain't by design, girl
Take it softer
You know I'm out my mind, girl
Don't make this harder
Come and light my fire, baby
How much longer 'til December?
Say what you really mean, uh, huh

The chorus of the song is a plea for the lover to "take it softer" and to "say what you really mean." The singer is asking for a clear and honest communication from their lover because they miss them and want to be there with them.
The song's opening lines, "I think I can solve it, I can be your all, ain't no problem, baby. You can be more, but you're heartless, darling, oh. But I've already solved it," suggest the singer's confidence in their ability to repair their relationship. However, they acknowledge their lover's cruelty and their own pain, stating "you were gone then that summer, but I can't be there." They repeat the refrain "this ain't by design," implying that their relationship's failure was not planned but happened naturally.

Neon Genesis Evangelion's original title is Shinseiki Evangelion, which translates as "Gospel for a New Century"
Hence the song's title and the title cards in the video

Wow thats insane. Never really woulda put Yves and NGE together but it make’s sense the use of religious symbolism and mysticism etc
@koby8504
also, some parts of the instrumentals , when the vocals aren't going on, sound like the dramatic sounds in nge fights or when they announce an angel is coming
