I shaved my head and burned all my stuff for this record. You better go buy it

Imagine walking through the forest and saw some guy shaving his head, playing a tribal drum around a fire.......the confusion will be priceless haha

Still goes hard 7 years later

this song was actually a banger like all jokes aside i used to legit like this song 😂

Leaf men remember: spread positive vibes. Not hate.

Came from LEAFY, stayed for MUSIC ;)

I heard the word “quarantine” and I thought this must be made recently, but then I saw that this was made in 2015.

2019 and still wondering why he’s wearing socks

when he started shaving his head , I was like : haha okay Tyler Joseph

Even though I'm a leafy fan I feel that this song is too good for him to have roasted it. I'm glad I found it though, it's very good!

Plugged his clippers in to the nearest power tree.

"Island Of Yours" Pick up the phone, dial tone A blank space, thoughts erased An incident, cold blood Struck down, a single round A suspect, quarantined Terror fades, turns to rage This is the cold part, the room shakes Life gives, but mostly takes Life gives, but mostly takes Separate my life from the island of yours A second cycle that can't fill the hole If it were up to me we might still have control But your existence has left with your soul Yeah, your existence has left with your Day by day, a slow decay Violent dissonance Perpetual motion Keeps my mind occupied Terminal sadness Introvert or socially inept All of your colours bleed together I can't remember the last thing you said No I can't remember the last thing you said Separate my life from the island of yours A second cycle that can't fill the hole If it were up to me we might still have control But your existence has left with your soul Yeah, your existence has left with your... How low? How many cycles 'til fill this hole The years have taken their toll If it were up to me I'd kill this dream The one where I lose your soul

"I can't remember the last thing you said" He lost someone and he doesn't know their last words :o

This not even that bad

When you find out ur 1.6% native American

I’m going to miss the old era 😭

I came here from leafy and usually the channels he talks about get hate but I really like this and this song is really good, I'm subscribing

Am I the only one that finds it kinda hilarious how the entire video is all dramatic and serious and then at the end he's just wearing his lil ankle socks from like target or something

My brother loved your channel and he use to play this song almost most of the time when I would chill with him.... R.I.P 09/26/91-08/26/18 May my big brother rest in Paradise...

I’m almost 20 and I think I saw this vid when i was about 12 or 13 crazy how time flys

car radio vibes

I love the meaning. He is removing everything that makes him social repose. I love it, he sacrifices everything that makes him, him. 'Separate my life from the island of yours' it says that it's his life, he can do what he wants. THIS IS WHAT I THINK

I listened to this song today for the first time in a very long time... a year ago I was going through a very rough time and I can remember that for a solid two months all I listened to was thus song on repeat... this is such a powerful song and listening to it today has brought back so many memories and emotions...

Anybody notice he used a cable powered shaver in the woods.

When you're a leafy fan but still think The song is lit tho😂

the end of the video was like the internet was holding him back

2019 anyone? Just me? ☹

I miss leafy, i wonder what hes doing now...without him id never have found this gem

i've listened to this far more than i should have.

His eyes are brighter then my future.

"Separate my life from the island of yours"

Imagine if someone actually walked through the forest and saw this guy with black contacts shaving his head 😂

Probably the only video leafy roasted that got a lot of praise.

Hopefully all these Leafy fans will get the video to a million views!

When you want to be black metal but still go to church

The people that forgot about this song, but still somehow remembered it?

I can't find an explanation or theory for the metaphors in this video ANYWHERE, so I guess I'm gonna try and write my own. Keep in mind, I normally follow other people's theories on these kinds of things, so this is gonna be horrible and disorganised and probably a waste of time. I'm just here to dump a few random notes. This is how I see it. If anyone can refer me to a proper fan theory/synopsis/explanation, I'd appreciate it! Anyway, here's my little blurb: Okay so, it opens up on that bit with the burning piano. A previous video, Stand Tall, had the entire second half just a montage of him throwing a flaming hammer at the piano. So I think that's kinda the start of it. The theme of Stand Tall was that he didn't want to do what everyone was telling him to do. He's doing things his own way, so he burns the piano. So he leaves that life behind and goes into the forest to start that whole ritual thing. He takes off all his goth gear and almost buries it, and has a really long montage of shaving his head. These are all things that the internet associates with him as his personality. He's stripping away his internet persona to find his true self. When he opens his eyes, they're black and soulless. There's nothing left, because the internet has shaped him so much. He slits his wrist and lets the blood (or paint or whatever) pour onto his pile of stuff, indicating he's made some kind of sacrifice. Then he burns it all. Nothing much to say here, basically he's completely getting rid of that persona. The ending scene, though, I think has the most meaning. He trudges through a clearing, it's implied he's naked, he's shaved his hair, and his eyes are solid black. There's nothing left. Nothing but his laptop, tied to his ankle like a ball and chain. He'd invested himself so much into his internet persona, that even when there is absolutely NOTHING left of him, he can't escape.

Wouldn't that suck if he started shaving his head and the camera wasn't rolling.

Who all is still watching this in 2018 too? 😂

I first watched this when I was 16. I'm turning 21 and oh man this song means something so different now.

I mean I came here from Leafy but I have to admit... This is actually pretty dope.

If I'm not mistaken, this is Richie's *original* work, rather than a cover. If that's so, then as much as I love his covers - they are often more pleasing that the originals - then this one kicks all of their asses sideways. The covers, I mean. And I love me some of them covers, so that says a bit. This is absolutely flawless. Hope he comes come to New Mexico - I don't go to concerts as a rule - I'd break that rule to see him live.

Its weird to see his normal eyes with that outfit

I must admit, I don't like Richie at all, but this song rocks

Leafy brought me here but I have to say this music is friggin awesome!

Fuck what leafy says. I actually really like this music

this made me iddly nostalgic

This song makes more sense now than 5 years ago, mother moth had the feeling of deep depression for all of our losses way before

his eye contacts were just like dean winchester

I'm still watching this song in ,2016

I had a terrible sickness and was constantly throwing up and the only thing that could calm my stomach was this song.

You can think what ever you want of him, but you gotta admit, that song slaps!

thanks to leafy i like that Song :D

Put this on iTunes it's so good

From the heart thank you so much for this song, you are how the world made you and don't ever let anyone judge you or worth, change you. You're yourself, just be it, and go on. Like an old song, "Don't worry, be happy." Stay awesome.

Holy shit, I watched this when it came out, and I just found it again.

dont stop now friend, your voice is music to my face.

I know I late but I remember watching this ages ago and this is what I thought when I first watched this Dragging the laptop) Basically saying the internet is dragging you down as it is full of opinions, different people, threats and ect. Setting head dress on fire and shaving head) showing the sacrifices that you have made Cutting his arm with purple blood) showing how what happens around us effects people and how depression can effect you. Idk if this is true or not but this is what it means to me

This song reminds me of the era of KZfaq when Leafy was around.

6 years and i still love this.

Who else I is here because of leafy

When you come from leafy and actually like the song. What genre is this?

When he said quarantined I felt that.

took "car radio" for real

Way better than I expected.

hey, at least it isnt jacob sartorious

I really miss when he made music videos and music in general... definitely helped me through 5th grade😭

“Suspects quarantined” Coronavirus vibes

Came here because of Leafy, leaving as a subscriber lol great video, love the art form and symbolism.

That's dedication that pays off wow.

Thank you, this still slaps 6 years later 🙏🏼✨🌙

I just watched the old Leafy video he made about this song again...lol...good times, gooooood times.....HISSSSSSSS 🐍🐍🐍

I've re-watched this video around 15 times and am still loving it.

i love the music and i appriciate the artistic approach to your video

imagine being 30 yrs old and dressing like this....

The years have taken their toe.

Anyone come back here from his most recent haircut video?

Came here from Leafyishere 2 weeks ago, 2 weeks later I am still here

this is so unique

i still think this is such an amazing song

Here cuz of leafy but.... The song isnt that bad to be honest.

1:04 someone stole his car radio

Still there 🖤🔥

Imagine walking through the woods with your kids and you see this person shaving their head and singing what would you do

Who's here cause of Leafy?

Leafy sent me here. And now I'm gonna subscribe.

The thought that I was obsessed with this in middle school bothers me.

Back in 2021 and this song is just as incredible as the first time I heard it.

I'm so glad that there is a lot of positive feedback coming from Leafy's fans, this guy doesn't deserve any hate, his music is really good!

has anyone noticed he shaved in the woods like where was plugged in at?

Imagine thinking you’re a bird

Who else listend to this during there emo phase

I think your outfit is amazing. It's pretty attractive in my eyes, but then again people have been teasing me for my appearance for a long time.

He says that life gives but mostly takes. I can agree. Life took my will to live and didn't give me shit in return.

I remember listening to this song while I was high and drunk as shit. Moment was pretty depressing but the nostalgia though.

Who else was vaping wen they found this ?

Considering Leafy did a video on you, this song is actually pretty good tbh. I like it

Imagine walking through the park and then seeing this...

I looooove this song still in 2022

I first found this song right before jumpstarting a volatile, on and off 7 year long relationship. I was 13 when it started, now almost 20 walking out. This was his ringtone for years. The years have surely taken their toll, and I've killed any dream I've had.
