Top Comments of this video!! :3
the two contrasting skies. strength and vulnerability. how she had her back turned away from the dark side. the way she laid down in the sand during 'here i am, pry me open'. and how she started facing both sides as she sat up. the pulling away of the frame, making her seem smaller. her persistent attempt to chase it, to appear big. the instance she started going around freely— the release of breath at the end. the strength and relief found in vulnerability.
as a 9, i love this song so much. it makes me feel so wounded, yet so empowered every time i listen to it. Embara did a brilliant job in this. ❤️

1:48 idk if it was intentional or not but the position makes it look like they're in a divide between light and dark; reaching out and pulling away. It's very beautiful- it all is!

i love how at 2:33 when it comes to a turning point of "here i am pry me open" the dancer lies on the sand still, exposing herself and relaxing

I remember the minute
It was like a switch was flipped
I was just a kid who grew up strong enough
To pick this armor up
And suddenly it fit
God, that was so long ago, long ago, long ago
I was little, I was weak and perfectly naive
And I grew up too quick
Now you won't see all that I have to lose
And all I've lost in the fight to protect it
I won't let you in, I swore never again
I can't afford, no, I refuse to be rejected
I want to break these bones 'til they're better
I want to break them right and feel alive
You were wrong, you were wrong, you were wrong
My healing needed more than time
When I see fragile things, helpless things, broken things
I see the familiar
I was little, I was weak, I was perfect, too
Now I'm a broken mirror
But I can't let you see all that I have to lose
All I've lost in the fight to protect it
I can't let you in, I swore never again
I can't afford to let myself be blindsided
I'm standing guard, I'm falling apart
And all I want is to trust you
Show me how to lay my sword down
For long enough to let you through
Here I am, pry me open
What do you want to know?
I'm just a kid who grew up scared enough
To hold the door shut
And bury my innocence
But here's a map, here's a shovel
Here's my Achilles' heel
I'm all in, palms out
I'm at your mercy now and I'm ready to begin
I am strong, I am strong, I am strong enough to let you in
I'ma shake the ground with all my might
And I will pull my whole heart up to the surface
For the innocent, for the vulnerable
And I'll show up on the front lines with a purpose
And I'll give all I have, I'll give my blood, give my sweat
An ocean of tears will spill for what is broken
I'm shattered porcelain, glued back together again
Invincible like I've never been

3:47-3:48 The clouds up there resembles the move that the woman is making. This is so beautiful. Everything in here is beautiful. The song, the woman, the place, the time. It's all perfect. Also, just what i needed to hear due to trauma I've been through and I won't let anyone in cause im afraid they'll break my trust, that they'll find out my weaknesses and attack me there—again.

Sleeping At Last produces an experience, not just music.
