    The way that the Serfs part was transcribed with the laugh as ‘lmao’ was literally how I imagined this song would be in meme form:
    “Please, let me go. I’ve gone insane, and this ‘therapy’ is basically torture.”
    “No, the world sucks, get used to it, lol.”
    “Please, I can’t even tell if I’m still myself.”
    “Not you? Lmao, your hilarious.”

      Nope! This exact style of analysis is actually why I know what they are--and this video was inspired by a similar video analyzing the lyrical structure of Hamilton songs, which did the same for me! Sometimes, it takes a visual example to learn basic concepts like this, and that's just how people learn

    When you try to imagine the lyrics with images that make sense in context you jump forward and backward in a story which ,presuming the insane man is singing, really shows how far gone he’s gone while in the chair. He keeps jumping to different parts of the story and it really adds to the song once you realise that

    So I didn’t realize it went this deep but
    Are there really people who don’t hear at least the most basic rhymes and near-rhymes in this song?
    “Think of these thoughts as limitless _light,_
    Ex- *posing, closing*
    Circuitry of _fright.”_
    Like. They’re a basic staple of modern music and it’s especially apparent right before the bridge:
    “Spiraling down thy majest-Y,
    I beg of THEE,
    Have merCY on ME,
    I was just a boy, you SEE,
    I PLEAD of THEE,
    Have sympath-Y for ME!”
    I will say the alliteration definitely stuck out to me more than the consonance and assonance but. Actually?? Cuz I’m worried now.
    (Also I love how the Ganon laugh was transcribed as “LMAO”.)

    Since I found this song and Hawaii part ii a few weeks ago, I thought TME sounded poetic, but I always thought it was something to do with the syllable count. The way the song flows sounds like poetry. I may try to listen to stressed and unstressed syllables sometime to figure out if some parts have poetic rhythm.

    • @Fractimago
      @Fractimago ปีที่แล้ว +12

      “All mine towers crumble down,
      the flowers gasping under rubble,
      shrieking in the hall of lull,
      thy genius sates a thirst for trouble.”
      ABAB pattern 7 syllables 1-3, nine syllables 2-4
      Edit, I just realized rubble and trouble rhyme. this is quite literally, a stanza of a poem. It has a rhythm, and it has a rhyme (down and lull could also be considered a near rhyme because of how similar they sound)

    • @Fractimago
      @Fractimago ปีที่แล้ว +6

      This is less of a poetic rhythm, but it’s still interesting because of how the syllables work together
      “See how the serfs work the ground,
      And they give it all they’ve got,
      And they give it all they’ve got,
      And you give it all you’ve got ‘till you’re down.”
      7-7-7-10,
      I realize that two of those lines are the same, but the first one has the same amount of syllables as the next two lines after it.
      Also, just realized you could read it a slightly different way.
      “And you give it all you’ve got,
      ‘Till you’re down.”
      Which would make it 7-7-7-7-3
      Das a lot of sevens.

    • @Fractimago
      @Fractimago ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I think that’s all I’ll find, at least for now. Feel free to take a crack at it yourself though.
      Doing this is really hard because you have to listen to a song about insanity and try to make sense out of syllables without knowing how the band separated the lines. At least I don’t know how they separated the lines, but you can kinda hear it sometimes, which is how I found this stuff. Just listening to the different parts of the song and how they fit together.

    And the fact that that’s not even a scratch on the surface of the song. Ex: how there are literal conversations happening in the reversed part of the song but in un reversed. And how the reversed part isn’t even the same length as the regular part meaning things are different in there.
