Yes, excellent digital effects, Zaqarbal! I read through the Siddharta lyrics that you posted earlier, and I can see their lyrics are usually descriptions of problematic relationships. They use many metaphors, though, which I like. Their lyrics all seem to deal with unhappy feelings of disappointment and hurt, which comes out in the sound of their songs, I'd say.

I found a translation of "Ring" that makes me wish I knew exactly what it means in Slovenian (?). I can see the basic idea in the video: she is someone who builds him up and then destroys him. This isn't talked about specifically in the song itself, based on the translation I read. I like how the video provides a physical example to illustrate the lyrics. The video brings out the painful and chilling feeling of the song, I feel.

I'm enjoying their music! I like the feeling of anger and misery in it.
