The artwork of this whole thing is phenomenal - the music, visuals including cinematography, makeup and costume… This is incredible

Alternative look at this: Someone pouring their feelings out about being manipulated by narcissistic people.

I cannot get over how powerful this song is.

When I was 5 a woman tried to drown me by throwing me in the deep end of a pool. She stepped on my hands when I tried to climb out. A little boy my same age dived in and showed me how to dog paddle to the shallow end. This song always reminds me of the incident but not in a bad way. It reminds me of how strong I am. How I swim instead of sink. It is a powerful song. I spin and weave, make costumes and masks so I fell in love with every aspect of this video. I love the symbolism.

I've been listening to this song almost on repeat for the past month or two. It's slowly helping me get through some intense depression. I love it so much.

" So you think a person needs to be broken, so thats what you do. You think its alright ... oh thats so Human of you ! " Awesome song !

So powerful. And AESTHETIC. I think I'm addicted to this band, can't stop singing their songs, they're a vital part of me now.

When I discovered this song, I was in a very difficult place in my life, in a relationship where I often felt used and ignored. It wasn't overtly malicious, but there was a level of cruelty that can come from others stuck in the depths of their own despair. This song has always makes me feel empowered though, and there have been multiple times it has helped me get to a mental place where I could stand up for and advocate for myself.

I cannot express how much I love your music. The energy, the aura, and the power in the imagery and the lyrics are phenomenal. I have been watching and listening to your other videos as well. Absolutely beautiful. Every person has their contribution to your masterpiece. Wow. Thank you. I can't stop listening.

I feel like she sings from the perspective of a non-human who experiences the cruelty of human nature firsthand

Being Human: A chronic condition that requires constant management.

You guys deserve way more fucking recognition. Your music is always a breath of fresh air.

The costumes, lighting and makeup work is all phenomenal. Couldn't be a better video for the song.

I wonder if the thread is a representation of life? Just like in Greek mythology 3 fates, that controlled the thread of life. Being entwined in all these threads is showing how our fates collide and how we can get trapped in a web of our own choices.

You say it's only words But they hurt so much You think your hands are warm But they are cold to the touch You fucking hate and manipulate Tell me I am the one You think it's all right to be cruel It's so human of you It was a cold, cold day When things fell apart It was a sad, sad thing There is ice on my heart You think a person needs to be broken So that's what you do You think it's all right to be cruel It's so human of you So you smile, I see your smile, and I cry Drag me under, drag me down, and I try The surface will not let you take my smile For I am strong, I can be stronger than lie So you smile, I see your smile and I cry Drag me under, drag me down, and I try The surface will not let you fake my smile For I am strong, I can be stronger than lie Drag me down, underwater I can't breath, no one saves me Drag me down, into sorrow Take my hand, I'll drown you with me Drag me down, underwater I can't breath, no one saves me Drag me down, into sorrow Take my hand, I'll drown you with me Drag me down, underwater I can't breath, no one saves me Drag me down, into sorrow Take my hand, I'll drown you with me So you smile, I see your smile, and I cry Drag me under, drag me down, and I try The surface will not let you take my smile For I am strong, I can be stronger than lie So you smile, I see your smile and I cry Drag me under, drag me down, and I try The surface will not let you fake my smile For I am strong, I can be stronger than lie Drag me down, underwater I can't breath, no one saves me Drag me down, into sorrow Take my hand, I'll drown you with me Drag me down, underwater I can't breath, no one saves me Drag me down, into sorrow Take my hand, I'll drown you with me Drag me down, underwater I can't breath, no one saves me Drag me down, into sorrow Take my hand, I'll drown you with me

I used to think fashion was pretentious, but this is fire, she absolutely nails it, visuals and all

This takes me on inner trip to deeper levels of my consciousness. It's amazing piece of art. Thank you. Agape to all good people out there xxxx

Annicke Shireen... One of those under-appreciated gifts to the world and the human race.

The cello is on fire

The voice is stunning and the lyric works like a passage between the world above the water surface and the second under it. It is mesmeric and sounds as chanting a magic formula in some way. The video clip is also a piece of unseen art. I am impressed and glad I found this talented and unique interpreter. Thank you for your hard work, Shireen. Your art touched my heart and the memory of it will stay there for the rest of my days. Do not ever lose faith in your work or throw away your uniqueness in this grey world of consumption.

This is one of the best songs I’ve heard in my life, I have no idea why but it just speaks to me on such a deep emotional level.

I love the beauty and chaos of the costumes. It's a perfect representation of being human. We are beautiful and chaotic at the same time. We can show love and kindness but we also can't exist without inadvertently (or intentionally) causing chaos of varying degrees.

Struggling right now with the toxicity of some people around me... I was working out to let go of the anger, and this song started playing at the end of my session. I looked at the trees and smiled. Thank you.

She's spinning the thread that would bind her...thinking it would save her. The symbolism is immaculate.

This is incredible. It's such a perfect description of toxic, unhealthy, and abusive relationships.

I love the music, and your voice, but...The aesthetic of your work is breathtaking to me. As a former filmmaker/editor, I am stunned by the outstanding vision of your work, and the creative team that works with you. I love it.

My friend and I loved this album. Hope they keep 'em coming.

I have no idea hom many times I have listened this song in recent days. KZfaq recomendations brought me here and I cannot let go This is when Apocalyptica meets Tool, Wardruna, Florence&TheMachine and who knows what else. Addicting.

This is an exciting new sound i haven't heard before, it has a substance that i can't put my finger on...wonderful.

Visually spectacular, emotionally raw. This is what the casual cruelty of betrayal feels like.

The aesthetics of this video are honestly great

6/8, 7/8 & 8/8 time-signatures all in one song. My kind of writing!

I loved this masterpiece, the costumes, the representations of what the music want to share and of course the choice of music to have a video. I will watch some more times to understand all the scenes on the lyrics context... when i listened to the music without video, I imagined that "Drag me down underwater" would have been made in someplace in the water and someone pushing Shireen to underwater...but, it would be too simplory, the idea of the ropes grabing the band and her is cool, cause that simbolic way to transmit an indea is their charm. Please GOD for the next

I love this video, it is amazing to watch, for the colors and shapes. The movements of all the actors. The lights and scenarios...; Umai is amazing too, but this one has something special. Off topic: I'm in love with Annicke's dimples

I m really liking this band, but i also want to give credits to who made or designed the awesome costumes... Wait... They are the same!

Ugh. Your music is just what I needed to hear!! Having such a hard time with my significant other and a baby. I’m strong but can be stronger than life. How perfect is this! 💜💜💜 my new favorite!

I've listened to & watched this many times. Love the music, one of my favorites, and love the video. The Fates weaving the threads of lives is so appropriate and (at least to me) meaningful. Y'all are so damned talented!

I love this group. I wish they had the resources to release more frequent videos. I've watched this video, Unmarked, and Umai dozens of times and still enjoy them like the first time.

This is legitimately the most amazing song I've heard in the last year, and I hope all the best for the band moving forward.

Bravo Shireen! since youtube suggested you guys to me with Umai i have been under your enchantment. i get so much inspiration to keep going on and believe in my own magic because of you. i cant wait to one day meet you all!

I freaking love the ornaments in her braided hair. That's a really cute look.

I'm really digging the imagery of this video, not sure if anyone else caught the three fates at work. This song is raw and powerful and I'm totally in love.

I think one can only find beauty in weirdness. Because the perfection of just a glance into someone's eyes is also weird.

This i hope is the new age for us. Strong, honest, lets face who we are becoming and harmonize rather then rip and tear. All are welcome who embrace each other.

I'm... Sad with myself that I found you years later, but I'm happy that I did today. Even if it is 04:25. Thank you for creating such beautiful music. ❤️

I am blown away by your artistic creativity. The clothing and accessories you create are gorgeous. Your music? It brings me to another time.

I dreamed I was human. I woke up and realized it was just a dream.

Going through a tough weekend, this song always hits hard. It is so powerful.

The more I watch this the more I feel like it's a binding spell invoking the Fates (#3 represented, along with a weaver), all with the intention of unwinding and weaving a new fate from the one previously lived.

Straight up, this is my absolute favorite song. Ever.

Am hearing so much of Tool- Schism here, even certain tunes and their periodicity is the same.

I love this song so much. I love the design of the video, the makeup and the costumes. All of it is just so fascinating.

This song just popped up from autoplay for me again, after I hadn't heard it in a few years. It's so hypnotic, deep, powerful, and trance-like. I read through some of the comments and realized that I too had been listening to this song a lot through some rough times. I'm not going to go into the circumstances, but it was the worst year of my life. Looking back, I remember finding solace in this song. Things are better for me now, but this song stirs some deep emotions in me as I listen. I guess that's what good music does best.

I was searching for Shireen Baratheon.... imma watch this awesome video anyway xD

I'm so glad I clicked on this video when it showed up on my feed! The costumes are amazing, I love the lyrics and the overal sound of this :)

I'm a 21 year old male and listen to rap and all that garbage. Found this band and can't go back... I need more!

I love your music. It has a great narrative mood to it, I'm adding a lot of them to playlists I'm making for my books. Thank you for the motivation to keep going.

This is something very different than what I have heard before. The soundscape created is unique. Thanks Shireen for this great song and album.

One of the best discoveries of my pandemic playlist

absolute stunning, i adore this song and the video with all my heart

I cannt get enough of this song.

I have been listening to this piece of art since a year now. The song is majestic itself, plus I find the video mesmerizing and marvellious. I find the lyrics quite interspective and deep, makes me wish to be the least human I can be, in a good way. The song touches me every single time. It goes straight to my life-long favourites.

Dude.. a bunch of songs from this Album Gave me chills!! I live her..

Never heard of her before, but I can't take my eyes away...

Saving this vid to a private list of songs for myself to listen to for when I am feeling insecure in myself. I have, in the past, been weak against psychological manipulation. This now has a well-deserved place next to "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I'm Gonna Do My Thing".

wait, why the heck is this unlisted?

The art...the music...the artists... i think I’m in love 😍

Happy to see the KZfaq recommendations are finally catching up to my Spotify playlists :)

Les costumes et les décors sont si magnifiques !!

I've been listening alot to Sinéad O'Conner since the saddeness of her leaving this realm 😢 And in all honesty I stumbled upon this song. As an artist, photographer and player of words I L❤ve your artistic vision, sound and words. Wickedly captivating to the senses ❤❤❤

Love this song so much.

Beautiful glitter wanderlust feeling wrapped around such a story. I literally can't decide on an emotion. Thank you so much:)

One of my favorite bands now days......The percutions are excellent, the voice, the lyrics..... A string solo (or some other kind) would be just espectacular.

First time hearing this band. It's got a Tool-ish undertone, I like it.

So eclectic, loving every moment & musical note!!!

another video that has heart and a beautiful spirit. phenomenal ....

love this song one of my fav of her album

The dress at 5:08 with the snakes is BEAUTIFUL and I wish I could find it to buy it

The video, the music, even my child who is 4 loves this. Epic, timely, great, and all just fantastic

Beautiful work and beautiful song! I'm glad I discovered this awesome band years ago.

I love you Spotify for recommend this Band and in my 2019 retrospective was the most played band.

Can't. Stop. Listening. I'm in love with this song and the video.

I’ve been so obsessed with this band! I love it to pieces

You guys ROCK!!!!! I love all of your music! You are all beautiful and wondrous.

Eight songbirds attracted to this song from Shireen ... They added their enhancement ... Awesome ...💕🍻🤘😎

Wow the music and music is so entrancing. I love it. The video and music definitely held my attention.

There's a certain UNKLE whisper about this composition and an ethereal nature to Shireen that captures a dark fierceness ...intoxicating

This is absolutely wonderful - as is all your music and other videos. You are so creative!

This is the most beautiful piece ive seen recently..

I've listened to a few of your songs at this point, and I'm not sure if I'm into the music... but jesus, that aesthetic does it for me.

i literally just strolled into this on autoplay and i think i found a new genre i like

You were absolutely phenomenal today! It was a joy to watch you perform

Don't stop making your music please! It's awesome!

Отличная песня, регулярно приходу переслушать (да и пересмотреть клип тоже, масса ярких образов).

I like. I think the threads of destiny are exactly the same as the ties that bind.

Your videos look like they must be incredibly fun to make

Beautiful. I love the album!

This band is killing it along with many others. Share share share.

Recently I've been listening to the album a lot and this is my favourite song on it, got quite excited to see a video was made recently and love it just as much as the song! Looking forward to see you live at Castlefest! ^^

I rather like the fact that I chose my own fate. Goddess grant me the strength to fulfill the destiny I choose. Blessed Be!
