Listened to my main playlist for the first time in a while...... I’m no wholesoul girlie but this song made me think of them and I knew who I had to immediately rush to,,,, not sure if you’d agree

(YouTube video because lyrics are unspoken.)

OHHHHH... this is such an interesting song i love the vibes. it's very soulcore... "you smell of dead flowers, I smell of the sewer I rot in" reads very wholesoul to me. whole is dead flowers, fading away slowly but still pretty in an ethereal way. soul is rotted and grotesque, something only useful to the scavengers that feed on its corpse. useful as compost. "i'm ashamed of all that i am now, and all that i am is painful." soul is just a twisted, broken part of a whole. it's painful to him. it's painful to whole, surely, to see such a broken rotting mess. he's ashamed to be compared to dead flowers. they're both dying things, but at least whole decays gracefully. soul just festers

#ouugh... VERY very good soul song in general. it's absolutely representative of how soul views himself #as the rotting hollowed out corpse of a man split in three #it also fits with seeing the other two as parasites symbolically. though technically parasites are defined by living hosts #but soul is like the living corpse of whole #cccc #chonnys charming chaos compendium #chonny jash #cj soul #cccc soul #cj whole #cccc whole #do you think that maggots count as parasites when they infest a zombie?#the ones that feed exclusively on dead flesh i mean. obviously ones that eat living things are #do zombies count as alive enough to be a living host? or are they still dead because it's decaying flesh?#much to think about <- getting really into this phrase lately #tridential tirade #captive audience
