red on Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm thinking too much again
I can't sleep it's 4am
I got to be in somewhere tomorrow
I don't wanna go out tomorrow

I'm thinking too much again
How my life will end?
I have to live tomorrow
I don't wanna live tomorrow

I'm thinking too much again
I can't sleep it's 4am
I got to be in somewhere tomorrow
I don't wanna go out tomorrow

Fuck my thoughts
I think too much
I think too much

Fuck my thoughts




I think too much
I think too much

Lyrics:

Key:
C = Christie (White Lady)
Z = Zach (Hornet)

C: We're finally free. Welcome home. It's just you and me now, standing alone. The world is ours.
Z: No it isn't...
C: Get in the car .
Z: This isn't finished .
C: What?

Z: Even though the kid's dead I'm still seeing red. I'm just a shell of his form that his innocence shed.
C: He lived a good life and he gave it to you...
Z: Oh, is that right? You know it's not true! Look at him showered in blood and flowers, now look in my eyes, she still holds the power. After years and tears and confronting his fears he's dead on his record for the world to hear. And they'll all think that it was suicide, but Christie I know it was you, inside.
C: I saved him, I held him, 'til the moment he died!
Z: You choked him out of his own goddamn mind! You promised the world to him; a goddamn lie.
C: What do you want from me?
Z: Oh, look outside yourself!

C: I won't help you take her down.
Z: Fine... I'll do it by myself!
C: You don't need it.
Z: Oh, I know that I need it.
C: She's been gone for years, I know you can beat it!
Z: No, look in the mirror, you know we both fear her. We're one and the same; we're afraid to be near her. We utter the name with our spirits defeated, but you let me kill him. You're worse than Juanita!
C: I told you to end it, it was all for the best.
Z: So I have you to blame for this pain in my chest...
C: No!

Z: If you won't go I will, to avenge the lost soul I killed.
C: You're filling your heart up with hate. All the same (Z: No!) as the kid (Z: No!) that you just left (Z: No!) facedown on the (Z: No!) pavement! (Z: Save it!)
Z: It's time I made a statement: "A pity this city has ruined us. We could've ruled Hollywood just the two of us, but Juanita has just made a fool of us."
C: You're lost.

Z: One, two, three, four: Is this what love is really for? Is this all I get for being yours; the kid in front of me in blood and gore? Five, six, seven, eight: Years put to waste for all I hate. They'll all know Juanita's fate!

Z: Show's about to start, don't be late...

May I please just say:
I had never heard of Hollow Knight aside from one piano cover I had watched previously, so, the name feeling slightly familiar and the beautiful art style in the thumbnail, I clicked.
I'm not sure if I understood anything at all in the video at first, but i was captivated by the art (it's what I had hoped my style to be similar to one day) so I kept rewatching.
Then, forgot all about it.
Weeks, maybe months later, I watched another Hollow Knight animated meme.
It was easily understandable and... unfortunately spoiled the entire game.
I, again, only after months, decided to watch a playthrough of the game.
I love it now, and watch almost anything related to it that is recommended to me. :)
I saw this video recommended to me, and was very confused, because the bar underneath showed that I had watched halfway through it.
Which was very strange, because I certainly did not remember watching a vid like this recently.
And, I mean no offense, but usually I avoid "serious" or story related animations about HK, because they're sometimes extra edgy, which=cringy. (Again, this is only sometimes.)
bUT. Watching this video again, while being able to understand the story now, AND appreciate the gorgeous art and animation, is amazing.

So... thank you for introducing me to Hollow Knight (and also reminding me how much I love this kind of art style.)

(Dunno why I found it necessary to comment all of this... but... too late now! Have a great day to anybody reading, by the way!)

Lyrics, for anyone interested

We're finally free
Welcome home
It's just you and me now
Standing alone
The world is ours
No it isn't
Get in the car
This isn't finished
What?
Even though the kid's dead
I'm still seeing red
I'm just a shell of his form
That his innocence shed
He lived a good life and he gave it to you
Oh is that right?
You know it's not true
Look at him showered
In blood and flowers
Now look in my eyes
She still holds the power
After years and tears
And confronting his fears
He's dead on his record
For the world to hear
And they'll all think
That it was suicide
But Christie I know
It was you inside
I saved him
I held him
'Til the moment he died
You choked him out of his own
God damn mind
You promised the world to him
A god damn lie
What do you want from me?
Oh look outside yourself
I won't help you take her down
Fine
I'll do it by myself
You don't need it
Oh I know that I need it
She's been gone for years
I know you can beat it
No look in the mirror
You know we both fear her
We're one in the same
We're afraid to be near her
We utter the name
With our spirits defeated
But you let me kill him
You're worse than Juanita
I told you to end it
It was all for the best
So I have you to blame
For this pain in my chest
NO!
If you won't go I will
To avenge the lost soul I killed
You're filling your heart up with hate
All the same (No!)
As the kid (No!)
That you just left (No!)
Face down on the (No!)
Pavement!
It's time I made a statement
A pity the city has ruined us
We could've fooled Hollywood
Just the two of us
But
Juanita has made a fool of us
You're lost
One two three four
Is this what love is really for
Is this all I get for being yours
The kid in front of me in blood and gore
Five six seven eight
Years put to waste for all I hate
They'll all know Juanita's fate
Show's about to start
Don't be late

OKAY IM BACK NOW AND READY TO LEAVE A PROPER COHERENT APPRECIATIVE COMMENT.

Good god. Where to begin? First off, as usual, your artstyle is beautifully expressive and your angles and animation are mindblowing. The way you portrayed Hornet's emotional state while still very much retaining her personality (even though she's not usually an openly emotive person) really struck a cord and is one of the most heartbreaking aspects of this video.

Your gijinka designs themselves are SO incredible and immediately recognisable, even to someone who's never seen them before! i instantly recognised pk, the white lady, and herrah with absolutely no trouble. And I ADORE the dark irisless style you use for the eyes- i feel like it makes it so that despite them being gijinkas, there's an element of otherness to them, which is absolutely gorgeous and fitting for hollow knight as a whole!

moreso, the story of this is just... so incredibly heartwrenching! i dont see many people acknowledging the white lady's part in this- or specifically how you, as Ghost, find her in her chambers and she essentially gives you half of a charm and tells you "hey, i hope this helps you go get sealed and be alone, possible in tremendous amounts of pain, forever despite knowing for sure vessels aren't pure and having had first hand experience in the matter. nice chat c:". Like thats your own mother telling you that! Holy shit! And Hornet's justified anger- her having clearly developed fondness for Ghost and caring about them- it makes me ache so deeply.

There were so many beautiful sequences in this as a whole! The White Lady and PK overlapping at "held (them) til the moment (they) *died*". "blood and gore" - shifting between ghost and an infected thk... Ghost "facing their regrets" and having their weeping shade LITERALLY suffocate them. Hornet's sequence of steadily losing everyone- the hollow knight, her mother, ghost- and all the adults in hornets life; pk, herrah, and wl...

It's so beautifully tragic. Her anger. Her loneliness. The depth of her determination. Hornet's *had enough*. She's lost everything to post-radiance Hallownest; her mother, two of her siblings, her childhood to a burden she never wanted- and with the eradiction of the infection, the only purpose she ever knew.

additionally you draw ghost like SUCH A CHILD... IT HURTS SO MUCH. to see them like that, so obviously small and vulnerable and alone, having gone through so much unspeakable pain and lost so much and gotten nothing but eternal lonliness in the end... awful. so so incredibly awful, so painful and poignant and emotionally evocative to so perfectly characterise them as the child that they are. i think gijinkas were the best option for a video like this.

TLDR: i love literally everything about this. thank you SO much for such a gift, ill watch it many times
