Kishi Bashi - I Am The Antichrist To You (Official Video)

"Once he belonged to someone.
He had a big floppy ear like a puppy and a tiny tail like a bunny.
Nobody knew what he was, but it didn't matter to them anymore.

He was abandoned on the street. There he found a hat that was also dumped, and they both decided to take a journey in search of a better place.

The puppy and the hat sailed away in the dark ocean...
One day, they arrived to The Island, where All the creatures were once someones'
family, friend or lover.
No one can visit the island except the ones who came here abandoned...

He met there the pink bunny with whom they spent many years rediscovering happiness again. Then the numbers from their other world arrived..."

[PearleeGurl]

That wasn't a song. That was a masterpiece.

[Matt Mazzuckelli]

This. Is. Amazing.

[C00PDA]

I like the song. It doesn't have much of a climactic point, but Bashi is good enough to get away with that. Music is what this is, so I am appalled that some describe this as "demonic". Might the term "antichrist" be used here as, (gasp) a -metaphor-!? Some people...

[mankari biba]

[Eric Cartman]

This song isn't very good.

[Christian Felux]

I'm crying, but... I dont know why :')

"Which way I fly is hell; myself am hell;

And in the lowest deep a lower deep,

Still threat'ning to devour me, opens wide,

To which the hell I suffer seems a heaven."

• J. Milton, Paradise Lost

[Drew Levitz]

Beautiful.

For those disturbed, consider in the following context - love that can't be restored.

Lucifer (antichrist):

"O sun, to tell thee how I hate thy beams

That bring to my remembrance from what state I fell, how glorious once above thy sphere."

― John Milton, Paradise Lost

[maelstrom02]

[jvstarfish]

[47dismal]
