This feels less like a song and more of a mantra or incantation until the drop. This version definitely feels more “unltraviolent:” The screaming and high pitched whistling is on the verge of... scary. The trance-like repeating of the same phrase makes it feel like someone is using the words as an excuse to be exactly what they couldn’t escape from—ultraviolence. If I can’t escape you, I can become you. If I become you, if I can move a thousand miles an hour again, I can escape you, forever. The second half of the song feels much less threatening, like the calm after the storm. Peace after war. Life... after death. The repeating of the phrase suddenly feels like there’s a hinge of regret or guilt behind it. Perhaps, for the second half of the song, the phrase was directed inward, instead of outward. I like this remix because it paints an image in my mind that’s all too familiar while still being entirely new. It still feels like a Crywolf song (Meaning track wise; of course a song with his voice and lyrics is going to sound like his own, but that’s not what I mean exactly. The vibe and atmosphere from the track alone feels like Crywolf), but it pushes to a slightly different direction. Instead of sorrowful anger that comes from loss (I.e. Justin being robbed of his work), this track turns that sorrowful tone into a vengeful one: I can’t stand the weight of the world’s violence, so I will tear it at its waistline. That’s my 2¢ and my evaluation, if you will, of the song. Tl;dr: I like song, it gud and make gud brain pictures in head.
