SCP 🔛🔝‼️
( common Peak Analysis/Explanation as always TES 🕵♂️🔥 )
Omg let’s hope this gets me through the 16 hr work day tomorrow 😢
It's 3 am booooyysss
Thanks for all your hard work man these have been helping me get to sleep for years now
Can someone explain what this one is about? Ive listened to both parts many times while falling asleep, but it never grabs me with what the crap it’s supposed to be!
1:00:31 so does this mean you should take the dinner with JayZ
Overt poetry and the SCP universe don't mesh for me. As soon as somebody starts rambling it's like when you read a whole page but don't remember a word. If there is to be any poetry it should be in the situations and conversations that make up the articles.
Nice, a new SCP video to fall asleep to. Thanks ❤️
only channel i need.
Heck yeah
Honestly when I first heard about Lampeter (SCP-7005) it felt like a philosophical musing about industrialism, and losing some kind of primordial connection to mysticism.
Listening to this part. It almost gives the impression of a character study in the loss of the personal connection, and their anchor to reality.
I know its unlikely to be the actual theme behind the stories, but it almost feels similar to how Generative AI are currently ruining the authenticity in connections.
The way it highlights the difference between numbers, and rules, versus understanding. Feels eerily similar to how stable defusion Gen AI blurs the boarder between authentic creativity for the sake of itself, and industrialization of creative people.
Just to underscore the fact, that I realize its unlikely to be the underlying theme. It feels incredibly similar to me.
Underneath the philosophical musings for the characters, the connections are still deteriorating, changing, and breaking. All because of the Neon God's influence, which to me feels like a representation of capitalistic parasitism.
Its not just the way everything turns neon, which gives me the impression of a broken neon sign downtown, blinking in a static red light, like a former shell of itself. Its also the the way it sucks the very essence out of the thing it leaves behind.
Like its somehow sucking the very meaning for existence out of the thing it assimilates, but by doing so its spreading further and further, until nothing is left behind except for the broken husk of what used to be meaning.
The way people seemingly go mad, and lose their sense of self, giving room to doubt if they had ever even been who you thought they were.
Its somehow magical to me. Like a mix in between a good old story, grieving the loss of a potential future that is now lost at sea, only to be mused about, and never actually seen(like the person who went mad in SCP-7005, because the different iterations of themself would have made every action possible. Resulting in nihilism of some sort)
Sorry for the ramble. It seems this story touched a weird place in my head, I didn't even know I needed.
My favorite out of bounds space in the SCP universe is Three Portlands.
Peak🎉
My goat. Back at it with the narration
I may have found a new hobby watching train POVs
Nothing like a cup of coffee and hearing horrors beyond my comprehension
WAVEFORM MY BELOVED
Is this a reupload?
Lampeter is such an unbelievably cool part of SCP.
Bless the Explorer
I have a real soft spot for the Lampeter-Stories for reasons I can't truly put my finger on.
But I think because as someone who recently got a job at a railroad company – unfortunately a declining business – stories about a once glorious transport network now in decline and a mere shadow of its former self hit very close to home.
I absolutely love the way you explain the SCP files.. thank you.. thank you for everything
I loved listening to these when you first released them, very nice
What’s compelling about SCP-8605 isn’t just the scale, but the implication that “steel” here isn’t merely material — it feels symbolic of an imposed identity or manufactured divinity. The Lampeter-related entities often blur the line between godhood, infrastructure, and consciousness. It echoes older myths where beings were bound to cities, metals, or systems rather than bodies. Some independent archival comparisons even suggest these figures resemble pre-human guardian constructs. Is the Steel Soul a god that chose form, or one trapped inside it?
RETURN OF THE WAVEFORM 🙌🙌🙌
Thank god I can finally stop scrolling and go try to sleep
I haven't heard ANY of this, so all parts will be very enjoyable.
The steel soul? What did they take?
OH BOY! IT'S 3AM!! (PACIFIC TIME) (ACTUALLY CLOSER TO 4) (I NEED TO SLEEP)
Hello Doctor sorry I’m late for the lesson
I know this is supposed to be a sequel to 7005, but I don’t think repeating the format of “Foundation researcher travels to different universes and talks to eccentric characters” works as well here.
The whole point of that format was that the stationmasters represent different ways that people try to comprehend and cope with the implications of that they are living in an actual multiverse, and the further east you go, the more they succumb to the nihilism embodied by the Neon God. Here they’re just spouting cryptic philosophies that don’t have nearly as much impact.
It's 5:23am
Yippee! Bed time now 😀
Any relevance to keys?
Oh thank you!
Long time listener. Just wanted to give you your flowers for continuing to put out quality content. Its an oasis of good content in an endless desert of AI generated and narrated content. Thanks for all the videos!
My eyes are uncontrollably watering.

I'll have to watch this again tomorrow because there's no way I'm remaining awake for all of this it's 2am
It's already morning here but I don't care, I will listen to this and fall asleep again!
