I like Siddharta. And I've found some lyrics translations here, although Domine isn't there.

Kinky video! I can guess at the lyrics from the S&M content. I like the sound of the song (the guitars especially). I don't think I've ever seen a musical video before featuring female sprinters/models!

I like their video of Ring too. The digital effects are fabulous:

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.

Yes, but it doesn't seem to be a man's fantasy.

As I've read in another YouTube's video, director is a woman: Dafne Jemersic.

They've made an English version. It is called My Dice.

I don't think the video's scenario or the song would be *anyone's* fantasy! Well...maybe if the song were about revenge...but I don't think it is...I think it is about people who hurt each other in their relationship or aren't sure they really want to be together.

Thank you for the link! I like the original version's meaning much more than the My Dice lyrics. Still, I feel it's a good song. And the video is mesmerizing, especially when it gets to the part where she bashes this man to dust and he looks at himself after the first hit. The contrast between her gentle actions that seem tender (but really aren't) and the obvious abusive destruction is disturbing.
