I kinda read it as him talking about drug addiction/his own vices, the bridge of “why would I want to ever escape this?” Kinda comes across to me as him gaslighting himself into thinking it’s fine and this is normal (Also would kinda make sense considering what Will was doing around this time)
plus i assume this song is likely about not being able to get freedom from drugs, and "why would i want to ever escape" is him trying to gaslight himself into thinking that this is okay
@@dr2unshine heather's big break is a song abt some pretty awful stuff and people dont seem to hate on that as much too Also im 99% sure its meant either as what you said abt drugs, or in the same way as front street
@@dr2unshineyour body my temple is actually about a podcast and isnt inherently about the topic youd assume first listening to it (but it still kind of is since the character its about is a FREAK!!)
@@crowt-c3t im aware of the podcast, but it didnt have lyrics before i think, no? either way some people are all complaining about ybmt all the time saying the song is so good but it makes them uncomfortable. people could see massah please the same way
Not trying to "cancel" him, and I'm saying this as a pretty big ww fan, but please know the specific spelling of the word "massah" *heavily* holds the context of American slavery. The song may not directly be about it, but with the title and some lyrics (ie slave unto myself, crack that whip, why would I want to ever escape, freedom's overrated), it 100% has those themes. I'm sure it wasn't made with malintent but it's still very worthy of criticism, and seeing some people defending it is a bit disheartening.
Yeah I feel like a lot of people are more so just trying to say it's not about slavery because they don't want to admit that their favorite artist could make something problematic. Like you can enjoy the song if you want but that doesn't mean you have to ignore that fact that it's language is bit distasteful or that it can definately be taken a certain way
@@madmax.mp3 of course something can be about slavery and not be in favor of it, and I'm not at all saying this song is in favor of it. What I'm trying to say is the subject of slavery is trivialized in this song which is sung and presumably written by will wood: a northeastern white guy. Someone who isn't impacted by racism toward poc and the affects that the slave trade has on modern society. And I'm not saying non-black/non-slave trade affected people can't ever use it as a motif or metaphor in media, it's just that it shouldn't just be used willy-nilly like it is here

@@mntlmentos that’s… that’s where the bdsm comes in… i promise that it’s not that deep. This song legitimately is just about some kinky ass sex
Yall apparently this song is about self destruction n drug dependency, slavery is kinda like a metaphor for it or something yk
Today’s subject… Slavery.

@i_h4te_po3try EXACTLYYY. If I could heart a reply I would, that was very well put
How is it problematic? Something can be about slavery without being in favor of it
