27y/o cis woman 🇧🇷 clinging to my blorbos as a moth to a flame no I won't create separate accounts for each fandom, you gotta see it all scrambled and chaotic 'cause that's what the inside of my head looks like. 'You kept me honest. Made me a whole person. I owe you everything Scully, and you owe me nothing.' - X-files 'I guess... I'm afraid' - RDR2 #sendittotheinternet - CK 'Will you tell me see you soon in a while? When my eyes fade, please give me your smile And even dark nights are ending in dawn You'll have time to cry when I'm gone' - LOTL
Many thanks to @_just_L05 [Twitter] for sending me the lyrics from their OPVS NOIR collector’s box! First photo is theirs.
Most massive thanks to @helakkas & @frikatilhi for doing the finnish translation, especially with how complex it was !!!

NOTES:
*Death as in well… Death, the personification, the stylistic caps didn’t let me make this clear oops. — Kier
“‘Kalma’ is a very folklore specific way to say Death.” — Ellu
Also the lyrics are kinda "shortened" in a way since the chorus isn't written down over and over again, [this being the ‘Rave, rave, rave’ part] but I think the song is one of the few that are almost 6 minutes long — Luan, notes from having listened to the song at the listening event.
HELAKKA’S NOTES:
This was pretty hard to translate, because this has some surface level Kalevala (Finnish poetry epic) and/or Finnish folklore references that just won't translate neatly. So, footnotes:
- Manala and Tuonela both mean underworld, but Tuonela is used in Kalevala and evokes certain images
- The lyrics do not use the Kalevala meter (trochaic tetrameter), but sort of reference it with the alliteration (first words of a line start with the same letter; this is famously used in Kalevala): Manalan mailla (in the land of the dead), Kalman katse (the look of Death), ovelta ovelle (from door to door)
Does anybody else track their life though a series of obsessions? Like “ah yes, i remember that happening, i was obsessing over Star Gate Atlantis at the time,” or, “this was during my Supernatural era.” I can map out my whole life in this way.

This is a statement Chris issued in March 2021, during the pandemic. I didn’t know the band back then, but I would have done anything to support them. I'm glad they made it through this okay ❤️
