Deemo - My Theory

If you've ever played Deemo then your probably aware that it tells a story about at mysterious girl who fell from a window, and a friendly black creature named Deemo. I did some looking around in the game and i'm pretty sure I've figured out what happened to the girl. It's actually an extremely depressing and sad story, despite the games cheerful cover it puts up for some of the songs. The first four songs show deemo- lonely, yet he still holds the world within him. Jumping star somewhat demonstrates that he ventures through that world to help cure his loneliness. Wings Of Piano shows that he gets this privelige through playing his piano. The next song- Nine Point Eight shows the girl falling from the window in a plain white dress. I also noticed she was falling head first in the song's picture, instead of her back towards the ground. I found it quite peculiar that flowers lined the bottom of her dress. I think this could mean several things; one of which is that its just showing her falling into Deemo's castle like the story suggests. Another idea i have is that it's actually showing her nearing death. The white gown is what she'd wear in a hospital, and the flowers are what would be put in her casket during her funeral. She's falling head first in the picture because she's not in control. The next two songs represent Deemo showing her around, and her exploring the castle for herself. After that is the song Platinum which has a meaning that's quite obvious if you look at the picture close enough. It shows the girl in a white gown praying infront of a stained glass window- like a church. In the window it shows the growth of the tree, and music notes- which represents what she's waiting for, and how she will get to that goal- don't worry, I'll explain this later. Also, please note that in the picture she is inside what looks to be a crown- which can also be another word for someone's head. In other words, all of this is inside of her head- an imaginitive world she made herself. The next two songs- Paralell Universe and Utropiosphere- represent time (well duh). Utropiosphere shows her sitting on a device while a hourglass is tipped on it's side behind her. In otherwords- her time has stopped; another metaphor to her death. In Paralell Universe it shows Deemo standing in front of a clock, holding onto it's hands. (The black stick things that point to the time x3) The clock can't show the time without it's hands- a metaphor to the fact that he had something to do with her death. The next song, I Hate To Tell You, is quite blatantly talking about death. The overall mood of the title, song, and the picture is depressive to an extremity. The title itself is something someone would say before saying the fact that someone died. For example, "I hate to tell you this, but your mom was killed in a car accident". Another reason I know it's about death is her change in apparel. Now her dress is black. In victorian times, people wore black after a funeral or the death of a loved one. Also, the clouds behind her somewhat look like they could be representing wings; in other words, she's mourning her own death. Saika and Invite, the next two songs, show the illusions and dreams she's having. Run Go Run is another obvious one. She's stuck in a labrinth and the only thing she can find is herself because the walls are made of mirrors. Also, please note that the ground underneath her is falling apart, perhaps symbolizing that shes running out of time- if she wasn't, then why would she have the need to run or hurry? Yawning Lion is another dream, but the song after it is particularly interesting. It's called Pulse and the title corresponds to both the song and the picture well. The picture shows Deemo and the girl together, back to back. Deemo has the symbol of a pulse where his heart would be, and theres a green blob that leads to a pink heart coming out of it. Two wires connect Deemo to the girl- between his back and through a hole in the girl where her heart would be. This shows that Deemo stands for the girls heart. The girl is also connected to a blood bag and she is looking at a monitor with her pulse on it- meaning she's in the hospital. I'd also like to point out that their bodies are disipearing at the bottom of the picture. I think Untitled2 and Electron are about her trying to accept the fact that she's going to die, or at least trying to get over the confusion. The next song, Walking By The Sea shows her watching the world from her deathbed, and the song after that is her exploring her dream with the metaphor of her heart, Deemo. Sairei shows the masked lady removing her mask. I found it interesting that on her hood theres a carving of a snake coming out of a pigs mouth and biting the pig in the ass which i'm extremely confused about xD I'm not sure what the masked lady stands for, but i do know that the girl stands for her soul, Deemo stands for her heart, and the tree stands for her escape from her disease. Entrance is confusing at first. It shows an evil looking version of Deemo standing infront of a portal that has the word Money written around the edges- translation? Her heart gave into it's own greed and stopped; therefore betraying the girl. Money stands for it's greed or it's temptation to stop and the portal stands for an easier escape than the tree. The last song in the game- Magnolia shows the girl in a dress that's white and fades to black. It also forms a Magnolia flower behind her. She's clutching onto her few memories that she still has; which are glowing. Behind her is a dark colored thing- which is sharply pointed and spreading out around her. I think this stands for her emotions- really negative and "sharp" as in reference to pain. Below her is her grave; which she is above because she's grieving her own death. Unfortunately, I don't have time to go over the paid songs, so i'll jump straight to a finding someone else found within the game. In each of the 2 rooms there is a code and when you put them in as cordinates on google maps you will find that it leads to a hospital (i think in korea?). So what does this all mean? The girls heart is sick and because of the stress the girl's mind falls into the same place. She tries to get out by distracting herself with dreams and adventures with her friend Deemo who is actually her subconcious mind's metaphor for her heart. The tree stands for the way out of her situation and the piano symbolizes her dreams. She kept dreaming of happy things as temporary breaks from her reminder that she's sick. It made her feel like she nearing a cure. Eventually her heart gives in to it's illness and stops- therefore ending the girls life. It ends with her grieving her own death. After this, the tree stops growing when Deemo plays the piano, so he resorts to only reading books. Because of the tree's lack of growth the girl is now eternally trapped in her dream world; in other words she's dead forever and she can't come back to life. It appropriately ends the credits with the message "To Be Continued"- which thank god because if it didnt, i'd be too sad to function right now.

I Saw This And It Just Makes Me So Happy

This week had been packed with amazing, frown resistant surprises. For example, theres a new kill la kill opening/ending. The anime- although 100x weirder and random than ever before- is finally getting into the real plot and finally starting to reveal how truly badass the characters are- even mako! And also, I was checking the news of crunchy roll and i found a mix of 2 things that i love immensly- Mindless Self Indulgence and Anime. Just- Look. Oh, and i got this as the result of taking a quiz- which is pretty damn accurate in an extremely creepy way. ' - '
