These lyrics are about depression due to mental or physical pain, not about, "are we living in a simulation." "It's not the same as it used to be": life changes when you're severely depressed. Food is tasteless, don't enjoy things that you used to love, social interaction becomes difficult and thus you become isolated to your dark thoughts, and you hope, "you can find the missing piece" that will fix things and let you feel some sense of joy again. "Feels like every day's the same, chemicals inside my brain make me think I'm in a simulation" - everything feels pointless, repetitive, mundane... Like you're trapped in a simulation on repeat. "Am I alive or am I just breathing, I'm so numb..." - big difference between being alive and living life. With depression, you feel like you're just alive, but not really there. Life is just moving by while you sink into darkness. People without depression don't understand depression. Most healthy people think depression is synonymous with sadness, but my overwhelming emotion isn't the prevalence of sadness or anger... It's the complete and utter lack of any emotions: it's numbness. "I've been lost looking for a reason to carry on (to live/not to commit suicide), but I'm losing hope" - self explanatory. "Is this all a dream? Tell me, is it make believe?" Life feels so utterly sterile, dark, unhappy, and devoid of meaning, purpose, or love when you're depressed/suicidal... it makes you question your existence. Is this really all life has to offer? "Am I glitching in and out again" - to me, this clearly describes a suicidal ideation cycle. Most days I can still hold it together, but when it gets bad... I fall apart/glitch/feel broken. Then the breakdown: "When the game (of life) is over will I see the end?" What happens when I die? When this is repeated the second time in the breakdown, it's particularly powerful, as the voice goes distorted, and gives a feeling of utter hopelessness and desolation, disconnected from everything. These real emotions and experiences cannot be replicated by computers, thus the references to wondering if you're trapped in a computer surrounded by cold, lifeless computer programs trying to emulate happiness. MMF put out a video explaining the song is about depression and suicide: th-cam.com/video/X6NQlfv8C2k/w-d-xo.html
Bro… you hit this right on the head.. this actually brought tears my face while reading through this… the accuracy in your brief interpretation of this song. So many reasons why this song touches me so deeply. Definitely my favorite song and one I hold real close to my heart. Only other song to do this for me is “Fight Inside” by Red ❤
Omg my mom and I had watched the matrix since I was younger omg this Memphis may fire track make believe is a fucking banger loving the low screams there and cool heavy vocal vibes there shit dude it does have bring me the horizon type of vibe going on in the song amazing loving the breakdowns omg the video does have a matrix theme to it and Matty is freaky awesome super cool metalcore vibe on the track by Matty super awesome I enjoyed the video I saw it yesterday it was bloody sick banger man some of the scenes had some Armageddon theme background in the video super cool I love it amazing reaction ohrion love you bro and miss you rock on 🤘
Yeah me too bro my mom sometimes like suspense movies but she likes horror movies more to be exact ohrion she did seen a lot of matrix old movies as well my mom and I are planning to see the new matrix movie it’s gonna be a blast my mom and I used to have vhs tapes player 📼 before we had DVD player ohrion it was in 1985 my mom started watching movies on vhs that’s the true story ohrion much love 💗
I'm so proud of the metal community, bands are so aware of everything that's going on & helping people wake up from the dream. The Age of Aquarius is here baby! 💃💃💃
@@gabmozes7858 it's the shift in the collective conciousness that's been happening ☺️ we're moving out of the archetype Pisces into Aquarius, shifts happen every 2160 years so these are important times. There's lots of information about it here on youtube, if you have time you should look into it, it's an interesting topic!
This song is good but that new ep they dropped is fire for real every song definitely an album review for that. Also how dope would a song with him Chris Motionless and Sam Carter be bro 🤘
@@donwelty57-39M Are EPs on Spotify, but the latest singles are from the new album "Remade In Misery" available at June, there's no EPs actually, just singles availables entirely on this new album 🙌
