Kyo fanvid ~ One and One [Dir en grey]

WARNING - CONTAINS TRIGGER IMAGES

*NOTE quality got botched in the upload, opening text reads as follows:

-There are elements of pain that cannot be expressed with lyrics alone.
-If someone had the experiences I've had, they would understand the reason [why] I scratch my chest.
-All my songs are anguishing... even if I try to hold back it rises up.
-Intro pic says 'MUSIC is GOD'

One&one: one part physical, one part mental, one part logical, one part emotional, one part individual, one part tied to a collective; the "I" seeking non "I", we hold hands with our opposites and go full circle.

Can a person really be considered `one` when our-make up depends on so many things-- environment, nurturing etc. Everything you do is connected to something outside of yourself. A person's character can go black and blue from the sometimes deliberate, sometimes not, smacks of evolution. It can lay open, impetuously bleeding like a ``pomegranate`` if you do not embrace the turbulence, do not accept that both love&hate, good&bad are relevant (which is why I focused on the 'Zakuro' preformance.) And what an amazing thing to have someone reel that pain into a song:

Is it any accident that Diru's new album is titled Uroborus when their "voice" constantly sheds skin like a snake (yet I sense that one layer never changes). Kyo travels varied avenues of self/experience and touches varied textures. He has enough guts to generate his findings in his lyrics. With every second that goes by a piece of him is swallowed, his being is regurgitated after the fact with fresh elements so it`s a curious thing why he keeps coming back to the idea of love paralleling an open wound. Our past selves are interwoven with our present selves to bring up a future... but I guess there are some things that have the power to weigh us down (if we let them), somethings that prevent you from asking yourself why you can`t move on. That`s sometimes a problem of ignorance, or insulating yourself.

The questions one is able to ask depend upon the knowledge one has and that`s all inside your circle (of influence), right. When one travels outside that circle there are some questions that are impossible. The questions change and grow as your circle of knowledge expands; in life that circle becomes larger as you learn, i.e the body of knowledge expands. With a bigger circumference the boundary between knowledge and things we don't know increases. Meaning the more you know, the more you know you don't know. haha Oxy moron? Visualize it. The things you know and the things you don't. Are there not more things you don't know? Do the questions not outweigh the answers? I don`t see that as a bad thing, I just see more possibilities and so it should be that when the perimeter between knowledge and ignorance increases, your humility increases, not your pride or your arrogance or hatred. Without humility there is no true increase in intelligence because you entrench yourself. Forever the circle keeps getting bigger so the paradox is you know more and more but the scope is larger so KNOWING is not a finite state, because you cannot possibly understand or even get to everything! HAHAHA The journey is never ending, mapped out in shapes of 'your'. No one way is the right way, it goes full circle. "One is All and through it is All and by it is All and if you have not All, All is Nothing." That 'Uroborus' cycle is intimate with all of us, one can only guess if Diru understand that. Anyway, only you decide what part of the serpent gets the bigger bite.

Keep asking questions, keep changing, it's the skeleton key to enlightenment and will align all your stars... don`t just let anger rule. Do not leave knowledge where it is, pick it up and PASS IT ON. Once you get it, you're half way "there". Being through as much as I have, the terrestrial squabbles just don't seem the same, what's important is taking a trip around the universe, meeting every possibility and seeing through every pair of eyes and then being brought back to yourself so for different people like Kyo, for my pain, for my ignorance, for my knowledge, I am nothing but thankful. Here I am now, going through the metaphysical artifacts I collected, my life turns from a different equinox now and I don't think I've ever been so free and yet so linked. SHITE THAT WAS A COLOSSAL BLAB! XD

who is this song by? this is an amazing video.

[burntpaper]

Excerpt in intro: Ayria's Lovely Day. Song during main content: One And One by Robert Miles. Most of his work is instrumental, the music tends to speak for itself so this song is a rare gem with it's heightened complexity. KyoXsong seems like an odd blend but he is so much his own person that he defies category but aren't we all "one and one" with identity & our ways? The lyrics are ironic: 2 halves make a whole but essence (what make us what we are) is hardly singular; no man is an island.

You have found a wisdom and a view on the world I only wished and hope to develop as I grow older but still stand on my uniqueness and understanding. Everything you write makes me think and I am grateful for this. For how you peace together things I have yet to understand but try to acknowledge and think of. You have great videos and such beauty in your words that hold so much more then there is to see. I must say your work is great art, on both the way: it moves me and makes me think.

[burntpaper]

& with art or "the sex of imagination" as George Jean Nathan calls it, there are no bounds. I lose myself in it to find myself, it's less of an outlet as it is platform or springboard. & shite I ramble, sorry! ha Much of that was probably incoherent. I tend to answer myself in my head but only type half of it, forgetting people aren't in my head to hear the complete thought LOL You ever want to chat come my way, ne. :) I don't always carry on like a staunch prof, I'm just in University mode. ;D

[kyukatt]

Five out of five for you. Your videos are always so well made and the comments you leave I find to be just as powerful, if not more powerful then the video itself. Your comments are thought provoking and insightful, so please continue to keep up the good work!!

[burntpaper]

Seeing as youtube is on legal smack down, some of my vids have to be reworked. I have to recycle ideas&see if I can't twist them into a comprehensive pretzel with youtube friendly songs. It's a bust seeing as I'm not making -nor do I intend to make- any commercial profit. Apparently my desire to reach out to people through this medium is threatening? Songs are key to my concepts; to limit me is as good for creative flexibility as secks with nails is to my-- ahem. ;_;

[burntpaper]

& I don't just dress vids up with random pieces, I have the whole thing mapped out before I edit footage. They can't expect me to ditch my initial thoughts... why does this remind me of Hitler burning books? haha I WILL NOT BE DEPRIVED! ;D FANVID WHORE REVOLT! *toots battle horn* Anyway, if future commentary seems disjointed you know why. & your comments are always appreciated! :) Btw, did you see Diru live @ TRTA US tour?

[UruxAoi]

Cool! I love your vid <3

[LikesCartoons]

OH shit this is hardcore.

[EvilB3rry]

sorry. by involved i meant evolved.

:)

[EvilB3rry]

I love the description. Its exactly the concepts i've been obsessing over lately, only your ideas seem more involved/matured

gahh. you seem really cool, and intelligent.

[flipoutCRAZY]

Sometimes I wish I lived in the US but I'm happy with my icy front steps. Its a shame its seems that the bands I like seem to stay as far away as they can from where I live... YouTube really is cracking down on the vids now a day. Its a shame because freedom of speech is already crumbling at our feet.

[lucyinthesky302]

at first i was like O.o

because this song sounded like some teeny-bopper-anime-themesong-b­ubbly-sugary-weird stuff.

at first.

cus, like, 30 seconds into it, i was riveted xD

i really love this vid. cant wait to watch some others!

[Bookofthemoon]

no 2 people are the same. we think differently, act differently, but we are all still connected. i love indepth discussions, perhaps you'd like to have one with me sometime? cool, video by-the-way, kinda sad, but still cool.

[piratesfan27]

interesting song choice, but good vid, even better idea! did kyo actually say the beginning quote?

[DeadKyo]

Kyo is really the best T_T

[luciferbox86]

Keep up the good work!
