    If you really pay attention to the verses this song is such a shocking way to look at four different types of approaches to a badly failing relationship. All four of them trying to cling onto it it different ways, or looking at it reflectively with slightly different attitudes of frustration or release. It's fucking art. I love Doomtree.

    "I am a cheap laugh, but I get the joke. I am a brief flash, the abstract." One of my favorite lyrics from any song.

    Social anxiety in general. Close partner relationships gone sour & the resulting darkness, confusion, depression, 'death' & 'rebirth'. Steady progression from Dessa's intro verse, thru to Sims' final lament.

    One of the two gas masks that appear in the video is indeed from Ax Man... it was modified by our prop master Gabe Wimmer to have the monocle and chain that you see. The other mask is an antique.

    I'm not sure if I got the message of the song exact but from what I've analyzed it seems to be how you shouldn't chase someone who doesn't want to come back home, if she wants to come back she will.
    Thank you, this actually helped me fight my mind off against this exact problem.
    Thank you.

      Definitely one of the best hip-hop tracks iv'e ever heard. Not only that, but I like the beat because the instrumental is something you wouldn't typically expect in a hip-hop song. Almost Nine Inch Nails like.

    To me this video is about ill contentment leading into something more simple and without identity. Keeping it easy instead of the challenge of the mundane lifestyle of suffering and scraping by. She makes the decision to join those more "eclectic" and clean. The decision is that of what happens to relationships on a daily basis.

  • @nathanbloodsworth

    You guys should do a giant Doomtree boxset. Videos, any solo albums from each one of you that DTR can contractually distribute, and of coursethe Doomtree albums (being the unique sort of label you are), and then some sort of fodder like a doomtree shirt or something and then sell that at a high total price and i bet you they sell well. Id buy it!!

  • @WyldeSnake
    @WyldeSnake 11 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    The whole song seems to be geared around relationships, particularly how they fail.
    Dessa - Two people who are together because of mutual struggle, believing it is real.
    P.O.S. - Someone who is so paranoid of relationships failing that they sabotage by planning a way out
    Cecil Otter - You nailed it. Unrequited affection, and the self-destruction that follows
    Sims - This was the hard one. I think, it's giving yourself completely over to someone, and being destroyed by them. Think abusive.
