The Untamed ruined me 😭 I’ve already seen the animation “mo dao zu shi” but I wasn’t that attached to the characters because it was rushed, the live action made me cry many times and the actors are so good
ok this is just a ramble but black swan resonates so deeply w me for so many different reasons and i’ve seen other’s takes on it and i agree
the song’s first proper verse says ‘the heart no longer races when hearing the music play’ now i’m not a dancer but i felt it in a different away.
imagine being so immersed in something, that you’ve given your heart too but one day u don’t feel that spark anymore, even when something prompts or tries to stir up that old passion, u don’t feel anything. it’s almost as if that part of u is lifeless or dead. when i thought of it, i thought of friends and old relationships that i’ve had now. like i don’t feel that stirring, that smile on my face, or the anticipation towards seeing any of these ppl again.
‘that would have been my first death, i’ve always been afraid of.’ and then they speak about how u always knew one day, the fire would go out, the spark would no longer be rekindled and u fear that day but its arrived.
black swan speaks about not being able to enjoy what u once so passionately lived for. ur soul and the vibrancy that fueled ur happiness is like a light that went out and no candle or flame can spark it again.
