Lyrics
Somebody hears you

You know that

You know that



Somebody hears you

You know that inside



Someone is learning the colors of

all your moods

Say just the right thing and show that you're

understood



Here

You're

Known



Leave your life open

You don't have

You don't have to



Leave your life open

You don't have to hide



Someone is gathering every

crumb you drop

Mindless decisions and moments you've

long forgot



Keep

Them

All



Let our formulas find your soul



We'll divine

Your artesian source (in your mind)

Marshal feed and force (our machines)

To design you a perfect love (better still)

Or a perfect lust

Oh how glorious

Glorious

A brand (brand new)

New (you need)

Need (here) is born



Now we possess you

You'll know that

You'll know that



Oh now we possess you

You'll know that in time



Now we will build you an endlessly

upward world

Reach in your pocket embrace you for

all you're worth



Is

That

Wrong?



Isn't this

What

You want?



Amen

Fuuuuck, that was fantastic. I have chills! Absolutely beautiful use of this song and wonderful editing.

[himundergreen]

Holy what the hell, that was amazing. Haunting, terrifying, and evocative -- very much bringing forth the oh dear gods feeling I remember from watching the movie in theaters. Very well done!

(Great choice of music and alignment with the feel of the song, too, particularly that shift from major to minor key juuuuuuust as she's starting to crack up with the reflections in the mirrors.)

[valoise]

he way this builds and builds, the absolutely perfect song, this is glorious

[caramarie]

This is amazing! Amazing and disturbing :) So well edited – the structure is beautiful, and the way you've used the blank space. Very well done.

Now we possess you, oh my word, this is something brilliant. Like the movie, this vid starts out so innocent and then becomes something dark and powerful and, really, by the end of the vid I was sitting here, staring at the screen gaping because holy wow!

[metonymy]

This is terrifying and PERFECT.

[yarnofariadne]

Ooooh this is so chilling. Gorgeous use of music!

[kore]

This is GORGEOUS. One of the best vids I've seen in years.

[echan]

Holy hell, this is amazing. The way "you are known" was love and lovely and turned so dark, the beauty and love in the whole last minute as things came together and fell apart. All the black pauses, they have such different feels, peaceful or haunting. Fantastic!

[mithborien]

Festividder! I am so sorry I am only now getting around to commenting. Both work and being sick have kept me away from the internet for a while.

I love the vid you made for me though! The music is great, and it becomes so very haunting against the body horror scenes. I love the way you combined and built up the scenes and the way you incorporated the black pauses. It's fantastic! Thank you so much!

[anoel]

I love the way you build this vid and match the rising dynamics of the music to the emotional dancing scenes and gay scenes, very powerful. The way you use the transitions to black is very well done with the music. Great work!
