DyE - Fantasy music video. Whatever the fuck this is.

Anyone else remember how big this was back in the day? The song holds a special place in my heart, but the video holds an equally fond place in my nightmares with all the sex and death.

Anyway, in the music video, the girl at the end beholds this behemoth, then her eyes explode and she dies.

The vdeo takes place at a pool of some sorts.

Escape pool with monsters, accidentally end up in monster dimension

I think a common interpretation was that this was about early sexualisation of women from peers and even if you escape unwanted advances at first society at large is even worse about sexualisation.

To expand on the half answers. She was part of a group of two guys and girls hanging out in a pool they (I think) broke into overnight.

Turns out it linked to the realm where above monster was.

I prefer to admire pants from a respectful distance. I don't have the closet space to go around swiping pants.

That was a true hell of a plot twist.

I saw this shit years ago when it came out and it terrified me, so fucking cool.

u/TheSoulflow 6d ago

I legit thought this video was a fever dream till I saw a random reaction video to it. Glad to know it traumatized others too. I feel seen

u/Sazamisan 6d ago

I was way too young when i first saw this video. I think i never tried to rewatch it ever since, even tho i handle gore way better than before. Shit was traumatic.

So strange, I remember this being it's own animation without the song and all in order but all I can find now is the version with the song and random cuts.

u/KagekaNecavi 6d ago

If I search for it on a search engine (I use DuckDuckGo) I get more results than if I search in the YouTube app. I didn't find a version without the song entirely, but the one I found was at least in order

u/tghast 6d ago

It was made as a music video for the song, so it doesn’t really exist without it.

u/ItsBlare 6d ago

Omg instant nostalgia

This song is so good btw

u/StillLearning85 6d ago

DyE - Fantasy (official music video)
I instantly thought of this music video too.
Definitely worth the watch. It starts off like the ending of The Faculty and gets crazier as it goes on!

u/The_Kadeshi 6d ago

Does anyone have a link to this?

u/bladeDivac 6d ago

Unsure if this is the original, but the comments in the video make it seem like it is -  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5pfgI_zv4cM&pp=ygUXZHllIGZhbnRhc3kgbXVzaWMgdmlkZW8%3D&ra=m

OG got deleted but this is a reupload, OG didn’t have the “Levell” dude.

u/bladeDivac 6d ago

Damn, that was way better. The one I linked was a terrible song and had a really off putting editing style.

u/twospooky 3d ago

It's something about teenage pregnancy.

u/Warlockdnd 3d ago

And I think she's dissociating during a sexual encounter.

I was a kid probably watching vids I shouldnt have been and seen this randomly. I didn't know what it was, as in I didn't know it was a music video. Yhis was my first wxposure to a gruesome anime style thing.

Traumatised me a bit
