I prefer to use a Spotify subscription.

“Ludens” by Bring Me the Horizon is one of those songs that just picks me up. It carries this cyber-society vibe, a world where connection feels artificial and controlled, echoing the atmosphere of Fahrenheit 451. The rebellious tone in lines such as “how can I form a connection when we can’t even shake hands” stands out; not in anger, but as a push to hold my ground and not get lost in the noise. The song feels like a call for someone new to step forward, to take responsibility and guide the way.

The bridge always hits hard; with a violent, abrupt shift, chaos taking over for a moment, before giving way to something lighter and more serene. It feels like the ending of a tragic story that finally settles into acceptance. In that space, the color shifts to white; still, open, and cleansing; before the song drifts back into the chorus and eventually reaches its end.

Each time, it leaves me with the same impression: a mix of rebellion and resilience, tough but steady, which defines the spirit of the song as a whole.

I played the piano for 3 years and tutored younger children. I also played the guitar in high school for 3 years.
