That's ignorance and hypocrisy trying to win over wisdom and sincerity. The make up is the disguise of ourselves we do in front of people. Our "social self". We never show up who we really are. When you stop trying to please people all the time and start being honest with yourself, it's the time the joker on you will try to take back control, and you have to be strong not to let it.

Scrabbling to maintain his existence before he’s left behind. He’s a self-aware facade facing his own mortality and doing everything in his dwindled power to hold on. From begging, to vainly trying to hold back the reality and finally breaking down in despair before he’s washed away. Ironic really considering that this character used to be the king of the ball back in Daze.

I _weep_ for the Harlequin. I might not enjoy being alive, but he clearly _loved_ it, and, well... now he's gone. He didn't want to go, and it wasn't his choice, it was the voice of conformity, of being a "good boy" and playing nice instead of being himself. Worst of all three worlds.

There are plenty of online radio stations that play music by Poets Of The Fall. In fact, a bunch of pop music fans (as opposed to fans of rock) have discovered the music of Poets Of The Fall on our online radio broadcast and have fallen in love with these guys. As for this album, we wish these guys had led with a radio edit of "Revelations" as opposed to "Requiem" (although it is a good song).

The composition is powerful, a kind of whirlwind of passions and emotions that tear the hero apart. Harlequin's make-up mask has grown tightly to his face, Harlequin is no longer just a character, he has become part of his personality ("I've got this madman in my mind..." - Drama for Life), but claims to be more.

To those interested in the Tarot Cards, they're specifically the French version called tarot de Marseille. The first card is The Fool(ou le Mat), second is Death, third is The Magician(ou le Bateleur). Interestingly, The Fool is typically card 0, but in TDM has no number and Death, card 13, is also known as "Arcane sans nom" (arcana with no name). The Fool can mean the start of a new adventure, while Death can mean the end of something or rest/taking a break. The Magician means power, skillfulness, potential(meeting it?). Perhaps a reference to the fact that Clearview, Ultraviolet and Ghostlight are supposed to be a trilogy?

@@chiffmonkey While I'm not a reader myself, I do know the interpretations of the cards he was given: The Fool (Either unnumbered or zero) represents a new beginning, often a leap of faith; The Fool travels to a new land, bringing with him only the clothes on his back. When reversed, it indicates it is something one should be hesitant about jumping into, as recklessness on this journey may end it early, it may also represent a lack of the faith needed to be successful in this new endeavor. Either way, the beginning of something is inevitable. Death (thirteen) Is the card that is often feared out of superstition (explaining his reaction), however, a reader will/should never try and predict deaths. Often this card refers to death in the sense of transformation; death of an old idea gives life to a new one, it can be difficult, unexpected, terrific or terrible. The main takeaway is that to attempt to avoid this change will only make the current issues at hand worse, which is what it's reversed form represents. It can mean that one is having trouble letting go of the past, death can haunt us all, but holding on to grief only prolongs the pain. The Magician (one) represents willpower, representing someone who has gained the skills and abilities needed to be successful in their endeavors. Often this means that one must use their will, focus, and intellect to achieve your goals as they present themselves. When reversed, it means a lack of that clarity, that someone can use your skill and ability for their own selfish desires, it is a caution to tread lightly around those who are cunning and deceiving, perhaps even that cunning person you need to watch out for is yourself. Do take that all with a grain of salt, as it is only my basic understanding of the cards, but I hope it's accurate enough to explain how the symbology of their music lines up with these three particular cards. I know I found it fascinating.

I wouldn't say they are underrated, multiple songs including this one had millions of views and they are topping the charts regularly in Finland

The three tarots at 3:49 follow the meaning of the song. If my tarot-reading knowledge is worth any salt, the three represent the past, the present and the future. The Fool represents innocence, new beginnings, hope and the such. It also means inexperience and naivety. Being green, with all the consequences that it entails. Death is not necessarily death as we know it: it can mean illness, separation, but also change. Like, radical change. Crisis, an end, failure also falls into the spectrum of meanings. The Magician stands to depict how one can be free to choose every direction, or needs to, even. The magician arcana is about talent, resources, being determined and the such. Many others can understand the lyrics' deeper meaning better than I do, and already explained so. They pertain to the struggle of letting go of something, or someone, that simply cannot fit in your life and go towards a new beginning. I did not happen to see any comments regarding the tarots, so I just thought about adding this to the pile. Great song, of course. The video, the acting, they are all icing on the cake. I myself am currently struggling with life choices and the dread of going nowhere, so this strikes a chord with me. I'm still the harlequin behind the mirror, trying to re-apply make-up that part of me wants to get rid of. Hope y'all fare better.

And how did your comment get buried this deep?

One thing i really admire about this band is that it has adhered to its original style even after all these years despite all of that crazy music that has become mainstream these days. It's really good to see some quality music being thrown out in this era contaminated with Cardi B and the likes. Hats off to them.

I love the theme of duality in this song. It's almost like they are going for symbolism related to how the band has evolved and changed over the years. A return and subsequent farewell to numbers like Carnival of Rust, Daze and Cradled In Love while also embracing whatever the future may bring. Regardless of the inherent meaning, this is another absolute banger of a song and I adore it!

I do not know why in the dead of night, scrolling down the comment section and finding a familiarity, gave me so much unexpected warmth. I thank you and Poets of the Fall for this unique experience. I humbly ask you to create a work to honor the jester or the fortune teller and let this bands beauty spread. To the music that unites us all and greetings from Finland.

Clown Marko at the end when Marko is taking off his makeup and jacket always makes me laugh! I love this video! I've been a fan of PotF since 2007! My favorite Finnish band!

Completely random that I landed here, now I have a new band whose discography I need to listen too. Fantastic Stuff!

I discovered them few years ago (2010....) totally random too, I was playing Alan Wake (a video game). Since this moment I become fond/fan of them and their universe :)

Марко великолепен и необычайно красив в образе! Хорошая работа, ребята✌️

Ребят, вы одни из немногих с Запада, кого действительно приятно слушать👍

I just can't even explain how pure and beautifully choreographed the whole thing is - from the lyrics to the symbolism with the makeup fight between the harlequin and the man outside of the mirror at the end. How have I not discovered you all before! 😩 What a beautiful way to show the freedom of being yourself, coming out from the cocoon or shell (in this case the makeup of the harlequin) and the struggle not to stay buried underneath it all. The video is wonderful and the music is pure bliss. Great job! 👍🏾

The ending always makes me introspect. I always ask myself why can’t I, like Marko, stop indulging in the madness? When will I let go of those negative emotions within me and finally say I am done, just like Marko does. Top notch acting that.

I first heard their beatiful song 'Late Goodbye' in the so so sad ending in 'Max Payne 2'. And then I knew, that this is super band. 20 years later and I'm still loving Poets. I'm from Poland, i'm nearly 40, but for my first time I'm planning to take girl that I love to Poets' concert. Poets for Life!

Ghostlight is the natural progression of the grand arc of this talented band. The emotions & melody above all and the continued tribute to the hard and heavy delivering the music is why this is group is a favorite of ours. Rock on, POETS!

I can't be the only person into these guys now because of Remedy Games. >.>

Spectacular. Poets of the fall is truly the most consistent band I've ever had the pleasure of being a fan of, 9 albums now and I've never been disappointed, I can't wait until the full album releases and I have more poets music in my life to listen to regularly. Bravo gentlemen.

So many years of making music, so many albums released, and Poets of the Fall still to this day make fresh high quality music.

Wait ... Joker's Harley Quin? Eldar Halrequin? It doesn't matter! It's genious!

In fact, I think it's one of the band's best songs. The way they play with the tempo without losing their rhythm, the way the tempo in the choruses is deceptively slow and fast at the same time, that solo after the second chorus, that lyric. Poets of the fall have become so accomplished in understanding their creativity that they are better than themselves.

Agreed! I literally can’t stop listening to this song. It’s instrumentally, vocally, and thematically flawless. It truly is a showcase of the band’s talent as well as their development between Ultraviolet (namely with My Dark Disquiet and False Kings) and their Alexander Theatre sessions.

When I saw Daze for the first time, my immediate reaction was, "Man, Marco can really kill Joker's role. A musical maniac who loves chaos is a brilliant concept." And here we are on Apr 1, with POTF's own interpretation of the same. And it's fucking incredible!!!

Прекрасная песня... Видео, заставляющее задуматься... И невозможный чарующий бархатный голос... Как всегда - браво PotF! 👏🏻

A lot of us are metalheads here. lol

This masterpiece is so impeccably ambiguous and at the same time explicit about a variety of situations/internal as well as interpersonal dynamics. It always blows my mind and engages my emotions when at different stages of life I listen to it and derive something completely new meaning and interpretation. This is what poetry is meant to be like! Poets of The Fall are the epitome of the fulfilling art, the pinnacle of it, in so many ways! Please continue creating more masterpieces. For we need your creativity, inspiration, wisdom, and gentle (and sometimes sudden shredding) touch of our hearts. ❤

deranged, eccentric love haunting for the eternity. what a brilliant act, a drama for life and love.

This is not just a song. This is a complete and complex symphony, accompained by a heavenly sent and majestic voice of Marko. It's awakening that sweet pain deep within your soul, literally penetrating it. Love it so much. Truly magnificent.

What an excellent song. Love this band! Poets of the Fall is such an artistic and creative band, yet their compositions are so precise and tight. I remember being a casual fan about ten years ago, but with each song my admiration of them continues to grow. Aside from the great music, it's got to be said that not many bands can take a great song and somehow make it better after the listener becomes a viewer. In other words, when I listen to Poets of the Fall, the masterpieces that are their music videos play in my mind which makes the listening experience even more intriguing. Then of course, there's the fact that these videos and characters are linked which becomes an even more intriguing and inspiring experience.

On my way to watch these guys tonight at the Rock City club In Nottingham UK cannot wait.

Marco's not only a legendary, processional singer but a wonderful actor either!♥️

This song and video came to me at the perfect time... thank you, POTF. You've changed my life. ❤ Edit: That moment Marko cheers his own self... waking up at that today helped me a lot. 01/04/2022, Poets of the Fall is my new favorite band.

Miä niin pidän tästä POTF:n tunnelmasta ja sävyistä ja melodioista. Niin taidokasta. Lahjakasta. Herään eloon. Suuri kiitos Teille, näin musiikki, lyriikat vaikuttavat parhaimmillaan. Yksi teidän monista loistavista. Kiitos❤

Thank you, Poets, so much for this breathtaking new song and the story you tell with it! You never fail to spark the imagination! And the excitement for Ghostlight just skyrocketed (if that’s even possible…)

I have no clue if this is on purpose or not but I like how in a round about way, this song can be linked to Late Goodbye. In the Chorus of Late Goodbye, the singer sings "And we keep driving into the night..." While here in Requiem for My Harlequin he sings "One more time we'll cry into the night again." Like what I said, it could be just a coincidence, but I like the idea of the songs being connected.

Amazing! This is Carnival of Rust of 2022. Bravo!

Как всегда великолепно!
