I want to apologize, it took me months to realize you made a 6 minute version! AND its unique throughout! You are impeccable! Thank you!

Hi again! I'm making a video about life in Turpan China, the only person who will see it is my Foreign Literature Professor. Can I use and give full credit to your music? If not please let me know.

road trip but its lofi

Ughhh… hello? Is anyone there? Is…
Wait… where am I? I don’t recognise any of this. It’s like… a forest, but something’s different. How did I get here? I… don’t remember.
The call is calling. The red seeps through me, my strength lies dormant, the mountains and tombs keeping it secure. The vision of a tunnel, open yet filled with the rubble of a once great land.
Time slows, trees turning purple, waving, green, outlines spinning, life receding. I explore this land, falling over my new body multiple times.
Vibrant, beautiful hulking mechs tower above me like sentinels peering into the void. The floor I tap along is messy and chaotic. All alongside are personalities expressed in blobs of colour sneering snidely, snipping at my sides as I rush past. Flies buzz me as I rush, rush again, deftly weaving through and around the sprawling metropolis.
Except…
I stop. Look back. There is no technology, no building to be seen, I’m still just in a forest. But everything feels homely.
I carry on, the woods feeling more like a highway than a slalom, until I reach the suburbs. The void beckons. A vast expanse stretches forever in front of me, its own existence boggling the minds of all nearby. The ocean. A deep rage is calmed, calmed yet saddened at the sight of it. Something isn’t right here. No matter. I continue exploring, walking down the beach.
Meaningless nattering breaks the silence, I can hear it from afar. There are others. I run quickly yet hesitantly, hiding behind the false sense of hope I’ve felt thus far.
But it’s all just chirping. As I get closer all I can hear is beeps and twittings.
Meaning is inferred. Language is constructed.
As I get closer still, I can sort of get the meaning conveyed through body language. Their form is revealed. The three birds reveal themselves.
The first is small, mostly light brown and cream, the second darker brown and grey, and the third, the tallest one, is dark blue and white.
Reed warbler. Dunnock. Barn Swallow.
I walk up to them, and try to open my beak, but no sound comes out. No matter what I try, I can’t seem to speak. They’re all looking at me… judging? Has nothing changed?
They’re speaking to me but all meaning washes past. Yet… does their body language indicate meaning?
No. How could I possibly know that? It must be impossible to gather… there are no clues, there is no similarity, nothing is the same as what I know… what do I know? I conclude that it’s useless to attempt to talk to these birds, and the deep emptiness of loneliness consumes me once more. Nothing but panic. Run. Hide. Maybe it’ll all be over soon. Run run run runrunrunrun…
Alone, lost, exhausted, feeling truly alien, I slump down and let the meaninglessness of it all overcome me, drifting to sleep.

So… I randomly turned into a bird, transported somewhere I don’t know, found some other birds but couldn’t understand them, and now I’m here?
Yep.
All the meanwhile, I’ve been narrating this and spouting pretentious philosophy… stuff?
Don’t break that wall.
I just have one question about all of this…
…
Why? I’m not special, I’m no ‘chosen one’, I’m just a person.
That’s just a movie thing. In real life, stuff like this just happens. You only think that way because it hasn’t happened to you. Think about it this way: getting struck by lightning is incredibly rare, but it does happen. Yet in our age we assume that a low chance is zero, because we think of ourselves as protagonists in The Story Of Me. But that’s only to people that haven’t been affected by it. It’s bias.
Right… why the lecture?
Pretentious philosophy quota. I’m obligated to.
I see…
…
…
…
So who are you really?
I’m you, but also not. Not a split personality, not a different soul, I’m just a different side to the same coin. But that coin had to be stamped, as before it was a coin it was just a piece of metal. I was made when this body was made.
Made?
Yes. You turned into me because your body was put inside mine. Or is it the other way around? So the real question is, which one of us is… us? Is it you, you who lost your body, and put your mind in mine, or I, I that didn’t exist before you did, but I still have all that is mine? Isn’t your mind different now, now your brain has been changed?
I did notice that. Is that why I hate things I liked before?
No, those are not from the brain. Those are built for you by everything around you. In becoming me, you merely tore down your own walls.
If you’re me, then can you take control of my body whenever you want?
…
Oh.

Another Body, Another Mind

Not refreshed. Wake up. Bars in front. In a cage?
I try to recall how I got here, but I don’t remember a thing. Can I remember anything? What’s my… name? Age? What am I? Who am I? I don’t know! Why! Hello? There’s no one here. What’s going on? Why can’t I remmember anythhing? Hello? What’s goiggn on? Helo? Wher amm I? I-
There’s a person. A shadow. Something behind the bars. Something that isn’t me. Not-me. You’re the cause. You’re why I don’t know. You’re awful. I hate you. I hate you. It’s walking closer. I hate you I hate you I HATE YOU… it… walked away. You’d better run.
Wait.
What was I talking about? Did I see something? Someone? I can’t remember what just happened. Wait… I can’t remember anything! Who am I? What’s going on? Hello?
There’s a person. They emanate darker. Darker than what? I can’t recall. Fog shrouds me.
There’s a person. You’re the cause. I try to say. But can’t. That only makes me angrier. I hate you.
And I rapidly start to slump down, fainting.
…
The cage is red. Red with blood. But there is no blood. Only the black wings of the night. But this time they’re blue.
I awaken, but only to anger. Hate, distilled in its purest form. Something about the cage is different. I can make it out. I pull the bars apart. The pain is unbearable but that doesn’t matter.
You...
What was once a calm blue has become the crimson red stain on existence. Nothing works. Nothing ceases. The pressure builds.
You…
Finally out of my cage. I launch myself at the nearest thing, slashing my claws across its chest. Innocent blood spills across the floor. Yet it is not innocent, for it held up the pyramid. Take away the lower half of a pyramid, and you end up with still a pyramid. It didn’t have to be in this pyramid.
A small prick, and I can’t move. The white room has changed in hue yet again, its decorations have become demonic warts and infernal machines.
Agonizing pain hits me like a truck. I screech and try to fall but my body won’t let me. Still being held up. Mind breaks. The dam bursts and in gushes the waters of thought, feelings, emotions… memories. But not of who I was. Someone else. Me. Spinning circles with colours of the superhot burning sun in the middle of everything that no one wants to see and the crimson insides of my own demons with spikes made of purest iron. The fires of an imaginary unobserved forest encompass the lone small spark of life given by a tiny flower, red, yellow, blue level heat all spinning, twisting, turning, surrounding me, getting closer and closer and closer and hotter and hotter and faster, until everything coalesces into one.
I realise now.
I am Nomi.
The mist
is pierced.

Piercing the mist.

So here I am.
I’ve been given life, clarity, myself, myself, meaning.
Society.
It doesn’t need me.
But I need it.
A new life.
New hopes.
New dreams.
No memories of the true past.
Just the words “keep going north”.
Two are in one.
Balanced.
I’m excited.
Very excited.
See, look? Look at how excited I am.
I get to go back to everyone.
Meet new friends.
Have a peaceful life.
See, look, I can be serious too.
I really can.
Look, look, see? This is my serious face.
It is!
Ah! People! Buildings!
Three birds. A dunnock, a barn swallow, and a reed warbler. Do I recognise them from somewhere?
No matter! I must go and say hello!
Better make myself look presentable! Just let my hair-feathers down. There we go. Alright, deep breath.
…
“Hi! I’m new here, can you show me around? My name’s Nomi!”
