My wife passed away 6 years ago after giving birth to our daughter. Every night, I read to her while she stares deeply into my eyes and listens intensely. I know that it probably isn't common to relate this song to a father-daughter relationship, but this song makes me miss my wife so much more. It also makes me love and cherish my daughter so, so much. I know that she won't be like this forever, and daddy won't always be her favorite person, and she will eventually get older -- but right now I'm happy, just spending time, passing it by in her arms.
i see no problem you relate this song to a father-daughter relationship. if it hits you, it hits you and that's the beauty of it. i wish you a joyful lifetime with your daughter. you guys are lucky to have each other ❤
@turdballquest7309 100%. as I watch it again and again, it seems the only solace is that his boys are there thru thick n thin, just doin all the dumb shit hoping it helps their bro. Healthy? No. But not abandoning him to his desolation.
Its not your parents who should be taking care of you in situations like this, Its yourself. Take care of yourself. Take care of yourself. Take care of yourself.
I think the protagonist in the video's story is the guy in yellow. He misses his girl and in order to escape his feelings, he partakes in this horrible, vile, chaotic lifestyle as a way to move on, but he can't, he misses her and if you pay attention to the end of the video, you can see him not actively participating in a lot of the bullshit that's going on, he's just sitting back, on the ground, looking depressed, searching up online what women want in a man. It's about wanting to escape from the past and ending up in a horrible, horrible place, trying to remember how it was back then (ie trying to get a glimpse of us). And I mean... the whole video is haunting, it feels like being part of the most horrible and depraved gang that's ever existed. It feels like falling off the deep end after a traumatic event. /shoutout to EtrianDemifiend
Lyrics, for anyone who wants, since I didn’t find any in the comments: She'd take the world off my shoulders If it was ever hard to move She'd turn the rain to a rainbow When I was living in the blue Why then, if she's so perfect? Do I still wish that it was you? Perfect don't mean that it's working So what can I do? (Ooh) When you're out of sight in my mind 'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes And that's where I find a glimpse of us And I try to fall for her touch But I'm thinking of the way it was Said, "I'm fine" and said, "I moved on" I'm only here passing time in her arms Hoping I'll find a glimpse of us Tell me he savors your glory Does he laugh the way I did? Is this a part of your story? One that I had never lived Maybe one day you'll feel lonely And in his eyes, you'll get a glimpse Maybe you'll start slippin' slowly and find me again When you're out of sight in my mind 'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes And that's where I find a glimpse of us And I try to fall for her touch But I'm thinking of the way it was Said, "I'm fine" and said, "I moved on" I'm only here passing time in her arms Hoping I'll find a glimpse of us Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh 'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes And that's where I find a glimpse of us And I try to fall for her touch But I'm thinking of the way it was Said, "I'm fine" and said, "I moved on" I'm only here passing time in her arms Hoping I'll find a glimpse of us
This is probably the most realistic MV I've ever seen an artist make, it just feels so real and powerful that I couldn't help but feel lonely and helpless.
What I always find the most interesting about this is that despite how chaotic and self-destructive they are, they never hurt the animals. Like there’s lines they will not cross in spite of everything. There is kindness in there. But it is buried beneath absolutely incredible pain.
All that pain is just self harm though. It's hard to have sympathy for someone who seems to have no interest in pulling themselves out of that kind of spiral. Especially when you see how they constantly take it out on other people. This is a cautionary tale.
@@thegrimcritic5494why is joji this liked...I'm sorry but this shit seems so basic and edgy😭 the music video is cool and realistic but the music is just so basic I don't get how one can glorify this link guy so hard

Joji… you captured something many don’t get to see. The fall from a height, overwhelming despair, the need to burn everything in order to see something bright for a change. Masterfully done. A large chunk of my twenties looked like this and by whatever chance I had, I made it out. Thank you.
It's odd to think everyone craves another life style, I never struggled like this or had this lifestyle but I wish I did, I crave that chaotic energy, my whole life everything was so safe other than skating, but it's like I need to feel in danger every day to live happily
@@brendenfowler8654 when you start losing teeth and wake up to wounds you don’t remember happening… it’s not fun or cool anymore. It’s just instigating rot that you know you’re better than. Please, it ain’t worth it.

dont get me wrong, this is a beautifully written song. but if you relate to this whole song, please fully move on before you begin your next serious relationship. its not impossible i promise. in order to genuinely make room for new love in your heart you have to make space by getting rid of that person who currently sits there. otherwise you are wasting the others person time and energy:/ its unfair because the other person could be giving all their love yet they are underappreciated for something they cannot control - its normal to miss what you had. but different isnt bad, its just unfamiliar. to really appreciate that different is to accept what the past has gifted you with, and make genuine room to appreciate new happy experiences. trust me, you guys will be okay. just keep pushing through and keep trying
I'm currently in this situation. I feel like an asshole because she is always on my mind when I'm in a new relationship with other. Of course, I don't show my girl that I miss my ex and just like in this song even if she is 10 times better than her, I still miss her. My ex broke my heart real bad, and she still keeps breaking it but I can't stop thinking about her. I don't know how to let go...
"I think this song is the most heartbreaking when u dont interpret it as someone who hasnt moved on from a past relationship, but instead as "the person im with isnt the person i love anymore cause they have changed, but when i look in their eyes sometimes i still remember the person they used to be, whom i fell in love with. And I hope that one day they can come back to me." " - ZangBang
when you interpret the song this way, when he sings about wondering what it's like from the other person's perspective with their partner (which would be the singer) that could be read as the singer wondering if he himself changed too and I like that.
I feel like This song represents something more than just going through heartbreak. It’s depression, loneliness, loss of self control, insecurities, anger, rage. It shows the pain and struggles of being a human in this world. The insanity that goes on. Especially during these dark times. In Joji’s voice I get this vibe that he’s telling us that no matter what happens. No matter how much pain we feel. Everything is going to be ok in the end. It may not seem that way now but it will.
this is exactly what heartbreak looks like, you stop caring about everything, become self destructive just to forget everything even though you can't. this video hits home hard especially the lyrics. beautifully done
I think your life must go on even after a bad heartbreak. There is no excuse to just don’t care anymore, your life is unique and you shall not just waste it for some love deception. Remember, the only things that matter the most is your life, nothing else, so cherrish it
The video can also be interpreted from the point of view that even a chaotic and destructive guy needs his opposite side to maintain emotional balance, and without that our minds get out of control.
why does this song feel so nostalgic but sad/happy at the same time. this entire song is full of just emotions i didnt think i'd feel just by listening to the lyrics and melody.
I know the song is about being forgotten about. But my husband died a few months ago and this makes me think of him and cry. I miss him and I kind of feel forgotten about 😞
A man trapped in his own mind, A man who doesn’t know how to receive love, A man who cares but doesn’t know how to do better, a man who lives off of the only thing he knows (chaos). This video makes this song 10x more deep. Imagine wanting to do better for a loved one but not having the power to do so. The feeling of uselessness. Not being capable of seeing your worth. Hiding behind chaos and temporary glimpses of “happiness”. This is how I take this video and song. It’s beautiful yet chaotic, sad and hopeless, it conveys a feeling of loneliness in such a different way than other songs I can’t quite put my finger on it but the feeling is just… different. The time and effort in this is so overwhelmingly amazing. Made me feel emotions I hadn’t felt in a long time.

Around the same time Nectar came out I was in the same vibe, this EP came out now and strangely I'm still sharing the feeling. Almost two years have passed but some things don't change.
The song expresses the singer's struggle to move on from a past relationship. Despite his current girlfriend's perfection, he still finds himself longing for his ex. He feels a connection to his ex through his current girlfriend's eyes, but he can't fully commit to her. The singer questions if his ex is happy in her new relationship and hopes that she will someday feel lonely and think of him. Ultimately, the song is about unrequited love and the difficulty of letting go.
This song man....... That everlasting distraction of negativity due to other things in our life (could be using another girl, mental problems, reckless lifestyle etc) when you're only just trying to be loved. You don't even have to go through all the stuff in the video to feel whats being shown here and that's why Joji is the best.
"Glimpse Of Us" She'd take the world off my shoulders If it was ever hard to move She'd turn the rain to a rainbow When I was living in the blue Why then, if she is so perfect Do I still wish that it was you? Perfect don't mean that it's working So what can I do? When you're out of sight In my mind 'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes And that's where I find A glimpse of us And I try to fall for her touch But I'm thinking of The way it was Said I'm fine and said I moved on I'm only here passing time in her arms Hoping I'll find A glimpse of us Tell me he savors your glory Does he laugh the way I did? Is this a part of your story? One that I had never lived Maybe one day you'll feel lonely And in his eyes, you'll get a glimpse Maybe you'll start slipping slowly And find me again When you're out of sight In my mind 'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes And that's where I find A glimpse of us And I try to fall for her touch But I'm thinking of The way it was Said I'm fine and said I moved on I'm only here passing time in her arms Hoping I'll find A glimpse of us Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh 'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes And that's where I find A glimpse of us And I try to fall for her touch But I'm thinking of The way it was Said I'm fine and said I moved on I'm only here passing time in her arms Hoping I'll find A glimpse of us
This song will always hold a special place in my heart. Going through depression, I found myself in a lot of the situations shown in this video. It really does do an incredible job portraying how depression takes over you. The feeling of helplessness and doing anything and everything, even if its completely self destructive, just to forget or distract yourself. Its an impossible feeling to explain in words, but to me, this video is exactly how depression feels. Hopelessness, chaos, violence, regret, recklessness.
Man this video fucked me up. Currently 79 days sober, but my life was chaotic like this when my drinking got really bad. The song and visuals have me in tears right now. Glad to be sober, but this brought me back to some memories of being in a dark place. Staying in my friends backyard in a shed with beer cans and trash on the floor, doing stupid shit just to feel something, the arguments, fights, the chaos. It was all something I thought I thrived in. Today is completely different. Thank you Joji.
This music video hits so hard... i used to be those guys... when my mom had cancer... i used to hang out with who ever and do almost anything just to forget about everything else, miss you mom, im doing ok.
hey! its so crazy cz the same thing i did and i've beaten myself up for years for it,if its not personal to ask did you regret not spending more time ?
even looking back now as a novice, this is one of the most prolific montage of angst and chaos ive ever witnessed in my small life. this is incredible. this is music and art colliding in the most unfortunately real way. thanks joji for sacrificing sanity for our understanding.
The emotional pain displayed in this video is indescribable. The way it is all displayed sends a message that is on a straight passage straight into the soul. This is the art of realism and its amazing.
Yeah ,I feel the same way. I fr cried to this song lol. It got me, because well. I can kind of relate to it. And yes, I agree that it is art. It did hit me pretty hard. I don't know about you guys but Joji's music always hits me straight into the soul.
@@justinianthegreat154 this is what a friend told me what it means "But glimpse of us if you read the lyrics is a story about the guy finding someone so perfect that makes his days better and carries their stress for them no matter what but even though this girl is so perfect he still wishes it was her (as in his ex) so each time he looks into her eyes he sees a glimpse of him and his ex instead of him and his current girlfriend meaning he was never over her and even in some of the lyrics says he's fine and over it he then wonders if he laughs the way he did and if one day she feels lonely he hopes he can see a glimpse of him in his new boyfriends eyes and then it repeats with him seeing a glimpse of them " so yeah there's your answer.
@@Shikiyodo no, try to watch the behind the scenes, there are people who are living this way, but these are all good filming team and good actors, it looks so real
This really hits close to home, I lived like this after my girlfriend passed away. I was destructive I was an addict and headed headed to either prison or the graveyard. I can finally say I’m 30 days sober and staying out of trouble. Also Joji is amazing and so is this song.
i am not someone who can really cry, but every part of my soul and my eyes ache. this video screams every horrible wrenching feeling i’m living right now. i lost my fiancée who was also a huge joji fan and who i used to dance with her to slow dancing in the dark when it came out what feels like lifetimes ago now. she died by suicide in 2020, and my life is so changed and broken forever. this video sums up the emotions of the spiral that poverty and grief and abuse from others has kept me in the middle of ever since my beloved died. i am homeless right now, but i am doing everything i can to get my shit together and live a life that my girl would be proud of me for.
Filling emptiness with self destruction, something I've never experienced but had friends go through it. Drowning in drugs, alcohol and giving little care for anything. Its hard to watch and help people through that, especially if it's over a girl, but I coudnt imagine how hard it would be to go through it myself - this music video is just simply a work of art, the emotion just pours through the screen.
I understand this completely. It just gets to a point when you're safe and settled that you almost miss all of it, like it was fun. This song couldn't have come at a more perfect time for me and a lot of others, I'm sure. What a powerful way to explore that time of my life and gain closure.
@@RhiWilde17 Yeah I miss being a self destructive hobo sleeping in gutters for the clout when I had a perfectly good bridge to sleep under. Now I'm a suit and tie executive making 100k a year and never felt emptier. Life ain't fair bros : (
This song makes you cry while allowing you to grieve. I relate so much personally and it hurts so much to live without this person that was your everything, but we're here, I'm proud of us. Let's cry together, in melancholy.
(My Interpretation) Song: The lyrics is about how he isn't truly in love with the person he is with now even though she seems perfect. He is still so strongly attached to the girl he was with before to where everything about the girl he is with now reminds him of her. He also doesn't want to get over her which leads him to stay with his current relationship because it reminds him of his feelings of before. MV: It correlates with the music video by showing us his actions but expressed through a violent group with emotions. They know their actions are wrong but it's what gets them going without actually getting them anywhere. It seems like their actions should keep them happy and fulfilled in life, but it is only a distraction from their past that they still reminisce over. So, they feel stuck because they think there is nowhere else to go but also no way back. It affects the people around them, their loved ones, and ultimately themselves. The affect of the groups choices reflects to the affect of his choices. He believes that he has to stay with this girl because it's the closest thing to his reason of living which was the girl before. Same as these guys continuing their harmful actions because it's the only fulfillment in life. That's all I got for now, im kinda brain dead now
i dont think theres a girl. id like to think the old flawed love he cant quit is his past stripped-back chaotic self/life and this new conventionally ideal love he cant commit to is his new established leveled-out lifestyle but he just cant quite reprogram himself to be content with or enjoy that kind of subtlety. or it all feels too disingenuous. he craves a part of who he used to be, a reckless mentality portrayed in this videos, regardless of how backwards that may be to his personal or career's wellbeing
@@stuck_around what i love about this music video is that the meaning isn’t obvious so its really upto our own imagination of what we think the meaning is based on our own experiences and observations. I definitely see your interpretation knowing his past
i think that you are totally right. there is a girl and he does not know how to express feelings to her even though they are in a relationship. she reminds him of his previous lover and that hurts him.
Just with the crazy crew in the music video i was thinking the glimpse of us he's referring to is his old pals he used to make videos with (max, chad, idubbz)
To me, I feel like Myron's interpretation is pretty spot on. I loved how you've worded this. This interpretation, along with the music video, makes the song hit harder. Shit got me in my feels.
There's something disturbing about how authentic this all looks. Like these people are living a hell they've created and can't break from. The worst case scenario come true.
This is the moment we have been waiting for, all together, one night, vibing out to this beautiful masterpiece. We all feeling the same message but in a different way.
She'd take the world off my shoulders If it was ever hard to move She'd turn the rain to a rainbow When I was living in the blue Why then, if she is so perfect Do I still wish that it was you? Perfect don't mean that it's working So what can I do? When you're out of sight In my mind 'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes And that's where I find A glimpse of us And I try to fall for her touch But I'm thinking of The way it was Said I'm fine and said I moved on I'm only here passing time in her arms Hoping I'll find A glimpse of us Tell me he savors your glory Does he laugh the way I did? Is this a part of your story? One that I had never lived Maybe one day you'll feel lonely And in his eyes, you'll get a glimpse Maybe you'll start slipping slowly And find me again When you're out of sight In my mind 'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes And that's where I find A glimpse of us And I try to fall for her touch But I'm thinking of The way it was Said I'm fine and said I moved on I'm only here passing time in her arms Hoping I'll find A glimpse of us Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh 'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes And that's where I find A glimpse of us And I try to fall for her touch But I'm thinking of The way it was Said I'm fine and said I moved on I'm only here passing time in her arms Hoping I'll find A glimpse of us
This is quite possibly the strongest Joji song. This guy is struggling with being forgotten, with a sense of displacement, as well as seemingly worthlessness with no way to combat it. Violence seems to be the only outlet, thus leading to criminality and incarceration. Nothing hurts more than being forgotten by that someone who meant the world to you
This portrays a story about a gathering of guys who suffer in a way that they can relate, they let the chaotic energy determine the actions they make to help cope with the emotional torment that overwhelms them. To forget and to move on
It's straight up Art. I thought it was gonna be another neat joji track, but I watched the video and was just speechless. No matter the situation, the song perfectly demonstrates someone who is completely stuck in life. As someone who's felt the same way for years, this song made me break down. I may have never had a relationship or have done risky activities, but the video's overwhelming amount of chaos, apathy, and loneliness hit me right in the face.
This song really represents losing one’s self. Throughout the video there’s a lot of situations where it seems like someone is just trying to fuck around with their life in order to cope with the fact that they don’t know what to do with themselves anymore. Trying to change and move away from the past but just still ending up in the same fucked up world. This video is genuinely a true piece of art that shows how it truly feels to feel alone. If you’re reading this and are having thoughts like these, you aren’t alone
Definitely leaves a feeling of loss...glad my interpretation isn't alone! You can feel the pain and frustration in the clips..the head grasping with the hands.. we've all been there.
I can feel how the guy in yellow feel. When I lost her, I started to look for chaos and excitement to get away from the pain, but I don’t feel a piece of joy from doing all the shit, instead I everytime I calm down, the memories hit me like a damn truck
This looks like the life of a person I knew once, Not art, Not even close. Some drug and alchoal abuse with some neglect thrown in there and you have a shit show.
I know the song is amazing but paired with this video, it’s absolutely perfect. For those who are saying the video is too loud or too opposite of the song, you’re missing the point. Depression is a fucked up thing. The outlet of how we choose to deal with it can sometimes be loud and chaotic but in the end, it’s just a front. Thanks Joji for this. This was incredible.
I think I prefer listening to the song with the background noise of the music video. I love the sound of chaos with his melancholic voice. Although it's a big contrast, it says a lot about these heightened emotions. In the midst of destruction and violence, whether that'd be internal or external, there's a quiet sadness in the centre of it. And all these sounds played together strengthens these two extremes. They are born from each other and die within each other. It's the highs of all this frustration and anger, and the lows of sadness and yearning. They blend together so well to the point where you can't really untangle them and pull them apart. They just learn to co-exist with one another somehow and that's how you get broken people who are hurting.
yeh, i feel like with no background sound it's just kinda... empty. Like i think this is truly the way George wanted us to view the whole story, living chaotic with a purpose - a mean to cope or escape sth.
She just passed away yesterday. There was still love left on both sides and we remained best friends. We thought maybe in a few years when our circumstances change we could be a thing for real and not just a fling. But she just died and I can't stop thinking of her and I know for the rest of my life I'll remember almost every moment together.
I know exactly what this video is, it’s the downfall after “the incident” between you and someone else. In your head you’re living life to your fullest and your trying to prove you can be happy without them but it all really ends in you spiraling out of control.
This song and video hit at home right now. Everything is gone, everything is wrong. But when you see that special person again, you look at what was or could have been. Without regard for how it is now
The sad truth is that, the universe doesnt cares about us, it doesnt wants to see us happy, neither works to make us sad, we just dont have a reason to be who we are, emotions dont have a reason to exist, and we dont have reasons to be sad. Everyone can and probably will have this feeling. And if you feel this, i know that you're low, but once you hit the bottom there's nowhere to go but up. Dont give up on trying, more people fail by giving up than people who fail when they try. And in the end everything is gonna be alright, if not in this life, then at least we will all rest, but while we dont rest, stop blaming yourself for everything, stop crying for what could've been, and work on yourself to be a person you love, in the end it doesnt matters.
She’d take the world off my shoulders If it was ever hard to move She’d turn the rain to a rainbow When I was livin’ in the blue (Yeah) Why then, if she so perfect? Do I still wish that it was you? Perfect don’t mean that it’s workin’ So what can I do? Ooh [Pre-Chorus] When you’re out of sight In my mind [Chorus] ‘Cause sometimes I look in your eyes And that’s where I find, a glimpse of us And I try to fall for her touch But I’m thinkin’ of the way it was Said I’m fine and said I moved on I’m only here passin’ time in her arms Hopin’ I find, a glimpse of us [Verse 2] Tell me he savors your glory Does he laugh the way I did? Is this a part of your story? One that I had never lived Maybe one day you’ll feel lonely And in his eyes, you’ll get a glimpse Maybe you’ll start slippin’ slowly And find me again [Pre-Chorus] When you’re out of sight In my mind [Chorus] ‘Cause sometimes I look in your eyes And that’s where I find, a glimpse of us And I try to fall for her touch But I’m thinkin’ of the way it was Said I’m fine and said I moved on I’m only here passin’ time in her arms Hopin’ I find, a glimpse of us [Bridge] Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh [Chorus] ‘Cause sometimes I look in your eyes And that’s where I find, a glimpse of us And I try to fall for her touch But I’m thinkin’ of the way it was Said I’m fine and said I moved on I’m only here passin’ time in her arms Hopin’ I find, a glimpse of us
This was possibly the most depressing song visually from Joji It shows the descent of a man into madness and complete self destruction, notice how the video accelerates, going faster and faster, indicating that when somebody starts falling into the darkness, they keep on falling faster and faster into the abyss and no matter how much hallucinogens or alcohol you consume, no matter how mad you drive yourself, it'll only make you fall faster...
I agree 100% this MV was so unique in it's nature and gave the song itself entirely new layers on top of the actual lyrics, showing us the absolute chaos that ensues in a man's life when he gives up on everything, it's beautifully melancholic
something so heart breaking about trying to use someone to re-live the love you had for someone else, sad for you, sad for them when they really love you back, and youre obsessed with another, even worse when youre both just using eachother trying to get what you can out of whatever the situation you find yourself in, whatever weird stars align that lead to you two being so physically close
It's like the music is an inner dialogue to the video. Trying to cover up the hurt by acting out, running away from issues inside... there are few things as visceral and honest as this work of art
Truly a work of art. The video and music independently leave an impression but together it’s so very powerful! I’m so impressed even through the heart ache 😭
My mom has been diagnosed with anxiety and depression and it has gotten really bad these last few months. It is really hard for me to see how she's doing. Sometimes I look at her eyes and see the glimpse of who she used to be. I hope she will get better one day.
dealing with those things is hard for anyone to persevere with. if i were you, id let her know that you are there if she needs a shoulder to cry on, or to just let out her feelings. as someone who struggles with this daily, this is the best advice i could give to you. i hope it gets better for you and your mom! bless you both 🙏 the worst you can do to her is to let her feel guilty about herself. make her feel safe to express her emotions and thoughts, even if it's difficult to do so. sometimes you have to look out for your parents through the hard times. i hope this helps 💜
i was diagnosed with a bipolar 1, and joji's music helped me through both my manic and depressive episode. Months after my manic episode, my ldr girlfriend and I broke up and i fell into an extreme depressive lows. this is one of my go to songs. I found comfort in his music not only this, but as well as his other songs
I interpret this song not as someone who lost a relationship, but a part of themselves. Whenever I hear this song it makes me reminisce of the innocent carefree happy child I used to be (I'm thinking of the way it was) and it makes me sob violently. I wish I could go back to being that person; now I'm always exhausted and my mental health keeps declining. I said I'm fine, said I'll move on with life but I'm only here passing time idly; hoping to find some small moment of happiness, a glimpse of what was.
that was me this beginning of the year. I was so close to giving up, actually I did give up. I was so close to ending it all. I took a much need break from life and everything that came with it. I decided not to interact with anything or anyone. And it didn't get better right away. I laid in bed all day sometimes not even watching anything, just laying there. Then maybe after a month or so, I started leaving my room. I attempted to keep up regular hygiene which is something I only know do somewhat routinely. Then it was introspection and finding what you actually want out of this life. What do you actually want to do that is not influenced by expectations or pressures of others on you. And then its mustering up the courage to take that leap. I essentially change my life course in the latter stage of education. My relatives were concerned with it being so late. And I had to reiterate that IT was MY life and THIS DECISION IS A RISK ON MY FUTURE I WAS WILLING TO TAKE because if I don't take this risk THERE IS NO FUTURE FOR ME. It's hard but I stopped listening to people especially when they think they know what's best and give advice like " you need to start getting your shit together" or "just do it" like I don't know that already. And those who can't possibly fathom that thinking about doing something and actually going through with it are two different things. But after the self turmoil and breaking free from the pressures and expectations I can tell you now I am not necessarily happy but rather content with the choices I have made now. I've managed to rebuild apart of me that I thought was lost in time. The happiness and joys that were prominent in my childhood. I know if you're mind is made there is nothing I can say really and truly to inspire you, but take this from a person who was where you are right now in August 2021 up until the essentially April/may of 2022, that recovery is possible and things you reminisce about are still achievable and still brings the same joy that you felt just maybe in other forms. I used to paint and write a lot but I haven't in years because they don't bring joy anymore. Now I play solitaire on the daily multiple times a day in my living area with a deck of cards I had for ages and the joy I get from wining propels me to move on. Good luck on finding yourself and I really hope you make it past this seemingly never-ending or rather permanent part of your life.
wow. this video reminds me of how much a video can really touch you. I really enjoy how many ways you can interpret this - a lover missing a lover, a parent missing a child, or the way I saw it, someone grieving the loss of their old self. Covering the pain up in whatever means necessary, spiraling out of control. incredible.
"someone grieving the loss of their old self" is dead spot on for me, wow. Reading that line felt like a train just hitting my ever withering mental state, fuck. To whoever is reading this, whatever it is that you're going through; it does and will get better, life is a roller coaster and sometimes you just get stuck at the bottom for what feels like an eternity but it will and YOU will always come back up, better and stronger. I promise.
No, it's about bitches and dating them, but you loved someone else and now you are dating a new person, but it's not love. She is "perfect" but it doesn't mean you feel that about her.
When I used to listen to this song, you were by my side, so I never felt anything special in it. But after you left, I finally understood what it means.
The chaos and destruction amongst a few friends and trying to out run and distract the inner feeling of despair and sadness take me back to my teenage years. A place there sadness is veiled by the overwhelming noise of events that are caused by ourselves to drown out the ever present trauma that lurks and emerges no matter how hard you try to hide it with good times, danger and small pieces of pure things like animals. Glad that's all behind me, Great video Joji.
It encapsulate the exact feelings and mental processes of what is happening inside or even around people after losing Contact and relationship to very loved ones
Ella me quita el mundo de mis hombros Si era pesado moverse... Convirtio mi lluvia en arcoiris Cuando estaba viviendo en la melancolia Entonces, porque ella es tan perfecta? Todavia deseas que fueras tu? Perfecto no significa que este funcionando.. Entonces que puedo hacer? Cuando estás fuera de la vista En mi mente Porque algunas veces, cuando veo tus ojos es ahi donde veo el brillo de nosotros y trato de caer en tu toque Pero pienso como era en ese entonces Digo estoy bien y segui adelante Solo estoy aqui pasando tiempo en tus brazos Esperando encontrar el brillo de nosotros Dime si el saborea tu gloria Si el rie de la manera en que yo lo hacia es esto parte de tu historia? Una en la que no eh vivido talvez un dia te sentiras sola y en tus ojos estara ese brillo talvez iras lento y me encontraras otra vez
I can’t even say they’re thugs, sad trash maybe. they remind me of some of the wayward young dudes in my area that hang out together. They don’t have any prospects, seldom employed or in a relationship for long. Broke but somehow there is always an open bottle around. They also somehow have a set of wheels which they use to show up to whatever gathering that’s going on, probably where they stole the booze. Probably burned bridges with their families or are in bad terms so they just hang around with the crew. You can see they’re struggling with demons and they gravitate toward each other to commiserate in their shared shack. together is probably the only way they can survive but also they hold each other down. They can’t afford anything themselves but together can scrounge enough for what they want. They all have problems with the law and at least one is always in jail for something, nothing long term.
@@peteaxe2067 Thanks but its just a phenomena I have seen first hand with people I knew. Like I used to chill with one of the dudes and I'd come over to their place which was always a mess and I got to see the chaos for myself. It was too much for me after awhile as their was always this stressful vibe even though nothing was really going on. They were cool with me but in the background their was alot of angst and pent up frustration that was simmered down by depression and fatigue.
This video hits home. Fuck this shit hurts. The self destructive patterns of a young person who not only is in a situation like this, but loses someone they love because of it. Not trying to be a “snobby person” that over analyzes things, but it’s an absolute work of art.
I'd say the Ines who don't understand are underanalyzers. You're deep enough to feel beyond what's seen. To understand the depths beyond the forefront. The over analyzers are the ones that get it.
Coming from a broken home, this shit made me cry so hard and loosing my fiance to covid made me cry even more ..this is the first time I ever heard this song..
One of the most well-crafted and creative music videos ever made. The quick cuts, the sadness, the escalating violence of the life the protagonist is living while trying to both grapple with and escape his feelings; it’s fucking brilliant. Amazing work as always, Joji.
I cried. I literally cried. I could feel the despair and the self loathing and the want to be better but unable to be. The sense of being lost, no control, no hope. And the memory of a better time. The thought that you'll never have that again but that you can't let that memory go. I could really FEEL this song, and that's rare.
I cannot get over the emotions it has brought out in me. This is,a turmoil of feelings. It's the most beautiful song I ever heard,it's the most disturbing video I have ever seen. It is total despair,with no hope. My heart breaks,,,,,so very sad,so very lost,so very empty,except for violence and self loathing. My God,,,,,,,🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
idk what you guys are talking about, I've seen worse, and half of this video you can see irl. You just have be in a certain income bracket. also idk I'd I speak for all of us, but it's really only sad to a small few. the majority feels only rage... a most equal opposite.
@@chriscooper632 it doesn’t matter what your income bracket is, everyone will always understand heartbreak and pain and sure some of it is worse for other people but individually everyone has a period in life where they understand the emotion of this song, this song is for everyone.
Everyone who's a drug addict, suicidal, who's a bully, who's depressed, etc, I feel for you'll. People might not understand and hate you or dislike you, on the inside we all want to be "good" and perfect. All of us are different, the problems are not just what we see with our eyes. People don't express, and I'm not expecting them to be. But I wish all of us in this planet to be happy, at least find peace. Happiness is the thing we need to live no matter we're rich or poor. I just genuinely wish for all of us to be happy and content with what we are and try to move on and do better and healthier with our lives
It just crazy how Ive seen him grow from having chocolate spat into his mouth to now making songs and getting top 10 on the billboard charts. Its crazy and these songs are just so beautiful. Thank you joji for everything.

Nothing hurts more than not being able to forget someone who's already forgotten about you.
:(
yeah.
Couldn’t have been said better
yeah it sucks
Sometimes they just die...I think it hurt more then. Before I always thought I'd have time to make it right
My wife passed away 6 years ago after giving birth to our daughter. Every night, I read to her while she stares deeply into my eyes and listens intensely. I know that it probably isn't common to relate this song to a father-daughter relationship, but this song makes me miss my wife so much more. It also makes me love and cherish my daughter so, so much. I know that she won't be like this forever, and daddy won't always be her favorite person, and she will eventually get older -- but right now I'm happy, just spending time, passing it by in her arms.
i see no problem you relate this song to a father-daughter relationship. if it hits you, it hits you and that's the beauty of it. i wish you a joyful lifetime with your daughter. you guys are lucky to have each other ❤
I’m wishing the best for you and your beautiful daughter♥️✨
i’m crying. not exaggerating.
That’s beautiful
Be strong

This song isn't just about losing a loved one and wanting to go back, its about losing yourself and wanting to go back.
@turdballquest7309 100%. as I watch it again and again, it seems the only solace is that his boys are there thru thick n thin, just doin all the dumb shit hoping it helps their bro. Healthy? No. But not abandoning him to his desolation.
it is closure to his past persona (papafranku)
Fuck, this just made me lose it. Can relate to this so much.
I like this comment 😢. Felt that fs
@@sugarpibaby eaxactly
This video made me cry. Parents, take care of your kids. Take care of your kids. Take care of your kids.
lol trust me only dfuture is GOMUNKUL 6
Even if your parents take care of you, this can still happen and they're nothing they can do to stop it. The world's a cruel place.
Parents can't stop children from growing up and experiencing the hardships and tribulations of their love lives bruh
Disagree.
Its not your parents who should be taking care of you in situations like this, Its yourself. Take care of yourself. Take care of yourself. Take care of yourself.
I think the protagonist in the video's story is the guy in yellow.
He misses his girl and in order to escape his feelings, he partakes in this horrible, vile, chaotic lifestyle as a way to move on, but he can't, he misses her and if you pay attention to the end of the video, you can see him not actively participating in a lot of the bullshit that's going on, he's just sitting back, on the ground, looking depressed, searching up online what women want in a man.
It's about wanting to escape from the past and ending up in a horrible, horrible place, trying to remember how it was back then (ie trying to get a glimpse of us).
And I mean... the whole video is haunting, it feels like being part of the most horrible and depraved gang that's ever existed. It feels like falling off the deep end after a traumatic event.

Lyrics, for anyone who wants, since I didn’t find any in the comments:
She'd take the world off my shoulders
If it was ever hard to move
She'd turn the rain to a rainbow
When I was living in the blue
Why then, if she's so perfect?
Do I still wish that it was you?
Perfect don't mean that it's working
So what can I do? (Ooh)
When you're out of sight in my mind
'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinking of the way it was
Said, "I'm fine" and said, "I moved on"
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find a glimpse of us
Tell me he savors your glory
Does he laugh the way I did?
Is this a part of your story?
One that I had never lived
Maybe one day you'll feel lonely
And in his eyes, you'll get a glimpse
Maybe you'll start slippin' slowly and find me again
When you're out of sight in my mind
'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinking of the way it was
Said, "I'm fine" and said, "I moved on"
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find a glimpse of us
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinking of the way it was
Said, "I'm fine" and said, "I moved on"
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find a glimpse of us

Maurice.find on youtube anrvit there is best electronic music
You should watch city morgues first videos those are insane
What I always find the most interesting about this is that despite how chaotic and self-destructive they are, they never hurt the animals. Like there’s lines they will not cross in spite of everything. There is kindness in there. But it is buried beneath absolutely incredible pain.
I agree with you they are just a bunch of broken men, and they did it all just to make each other better...
All that pain is just self harm though. It's hard to have sympathy for someone who seems to have no interest in pulling themselves out of that kind of spiral. Especially when you see how they constantly take it out on other people. This is a cautionary tale.

Thanks dude

Love you Man
Joji… you captured something many don’t get to see. The fall from a height, overwhelming despair, the need to burn everything in order to see something bright for a change. Masterfully done. A large chunk of my twenties looked like this and by whatever chance I had, I made it out. Thank you.
It's odd to think everyone craves another life style, I never struggled like this or had this lifestyle but I wish I did, I crave that chaotic energy, my whole life everything was so safe other than skating, but it's like I need to feel in danger every day to live happily
bro thats good on you bro

I think its "Cause sometimes I look in *her* eyes" which would make sense matching the rest of the chorus
He also says "And in * His * eyes, you’ll get a glimpse" so him getting a glimpse of them in the other girls eyes matches
Thanks

dont get me wrong, this is a beautifully written song. but if you relate to this whole song, please fully move on before you begin your next serious relationship. its not impossible i promise. in order to genuinely make room for new love in your heart you have to make space by getting rid of that person who currently sits there. otherwise you are wasting the others person time and energy:/ its unfair because the other person could be giving all their love yet they are underappreciated for something they cannot control
-
its normal to miss what you had. but different isnt bad, its just unfamiliar. to really appreciate that different is to accept what the past has gifted you with, and make genuine room to appreciate new happy experiences.
trust me, you guys will be okay. just keep pushing through and keep trying
Totally agreed and never use someone to forget your past.
Frrrr!
I'm currently in this situation. I feel like an asshole because she is always on my mind when I'm in a new relationship with other. Of course, I don't show my girl that I miss my ex and just like in this song even if she is 10 times better than her, I still miss her. My ex broke my heart real bad, and she still keeps breaking it but I can't stop thinking about her. I don't know how to let go...
@@anubis22 Youll find your peace soon. Itll take time. What you are doing might not be the best thing rn but who knows? Keep fighting
sometimes you are fully moved on but theres always gonna be a part of you that misses your ex depending on how strongly you felt for that person
"I think this song is the most heartbreaking when u dont interpret it as someone who hasnt moved on from a past relationship, but instead as "the person im with isnt the person i love anymore cause they have changed, but when i look in their eyes sometimes i still remember the person they used to be, whom i fell in love with. And I hope that one day they can come back to me." " - ZangBang
when you interpret the song this way, when he sings about wondering what it's like from the other person's perspective with their partner (which would be the singer) that could be read as the singer wondering if he himself changed too and I like that.
Reading what you said just open emotions I never knew I had…thank you
Thanks man you put on a whole new level of depression when I listen to this… 😂🙃
WOW
I love this 💛
I feel like This song represents something more than just going through heartbreak. It’s depression, loneliness, loss of self control, insecurities, anger, rage. It shows the pain and struggles of being a human in this world. The insanity that goes on. Especially during these dark times. In Joji’s voice I get this vibe that he’s telling us that no matter what happens. No matter how much pain we feel. Everything is going to be ok in the end. It may not seem that way now but it will.
Especially when the guy was hitting his head, it reminded me of what i would do in depression. I am so happy he released this I am crying
and closing ears with ur hands
homie became an english teacher
you forgot regrets and madness.
its beautiful interpretation my guy, thank u
Sometimes I come back here just to cry.
yeah yeah he's good sad thing not even close to gomunkul6
We cry together ❤️🍄
this is exactly what heartbreak looks like, you stop caring about everything, become self destructive just to forget everything even though you can't. this video hits home hard especially the lyrics. beautifully done
I think your life must go on even after a bad heartbreak. There is no excuse to just don’t care anymore, your life is unique and you shall not just waste it for some love deception. Remember, the only things that matter the most is your life, nothing else, so cherrish it
The video can also be interpreted from the point of view that even a chaotic and destructive guy needs his opposite side to maintain emotional balance, and without that our minds get out of control.
He still cares about his friend tho

A man trapped in his own mind, A man who doesn’t know how to receive love, A man who cares but doesn’t know how to do better, a man who lives off of the only thing he knows (chaos). This video makes this song 10x more deep. Imagine wanting to do better for a loved one but not having the power to do so. The feeling of uselessness. Not being capable of seeing your worth. Hiding behind chaos and temporary glimpses of “happiness”. This is how I take this video and song. It’s beautiful yet chaotic, sad and hopeless, it conveys a feeling of loneliness in such a different way than other songs I can’t quite put my finger on it but the feeling is just… different. The time and effort in this is so overwhelmingly amazing. Made me feel emotions I hadn’t felt in a long time.
I relate to this
Indeed so

Here two years later to say that I still think this is the greatest music video ever made. Thank you Joji.
This song is beautiful, immaculate, heartbreaking, and so unbelievably sad. Joji does an incredible job at portraying the emotion in this. Wow
I’m actually sobbing on my bed rn. Joji has no idea how much his songs mean to me. As well as him.
I made a cover of this song
Around the same time Nectar came out I was in the same vibe, this EP came out now and strangely I'm still sharing the feeling. Almost two years have passed but some things don't change.
This song got me speechless. His voice, the melody, the lyrics. Every thing in between is so perfect.
The song expresses the singer's struggle to move on from a past relationship. Despite his current girlfriend's perfection, he still finds himself longing for his ex. He feels a connection to his ex through his current girlfriend's eyes, but he can't fully commit to her. The singer questions if his ex is happy in her new relationship and hopes that she will someday feel lonely and think of him. Ultimately, the song is about unrequited love and the difficulty of letting go.
"Perfect don't mean that it's working" those lines hit hard

Someone explain the lyric from their own experience?
This song man....... That everlasting distraction of negativity due to other things in our life (could be using another girl, mental problems, reckless lifestyle etc) when you're only just trying to be loved. You don't even have to go through all the stuff in the video to feel whats being shown here and that's why Joji is the best.
really truthful but relatable, that's what is. Also hi :) I made a cover of Glimpse of Us from the ex's perspective, check it out?
Bro..I can’t stop playing this song
literally my life in 3 minutes
Can't believe he's back with this...brings tears in my eyes 😢
"Glimpse Of Us"
She'd take the world off my shoulders
If it was ever hard to move
She'd turn the rain to a rainbow
When I was living in the blue
Why then, if she is so perfect
Do I still wish that it was you?
Perfect don't mean that it's working
So what can I do?
When you're out of sight
In my mind
'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that's where I find
A glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinking of
The way it was
Said I'm fine and said I moved on
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find
A glimpse of us
Tell me he savors your glory
Does he laugh the way I did?
Is this a part of your story?
One that I had never lived
Maybe one day you'll feel lonely
And in his eyes, you'll get a glimpse
Maybe you'll start slipping slowly
And find me again
When you're out of sight
In my mind
'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that's where I find
A glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinking of
The way it was
Said I'm fine and said I moved on
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find
A glimpse of us
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that's where I find
A glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinking of
The way it was
Said I'm fine and said I moved on
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find
A glimpse of us

Thanks my friend 🙏
dang.. poor new girl tho
@@mightytoxic where else would i get the lyrics?
This song will always hold a special place in my heart. Going through depression, I found myself in a lot of the situations shown in this video. It really does do an incredible job portraying how depression takes over you. The feeling of helplessness and doing anything and everything, even if its completely self destructive, just to forget or distract yourself. Its an impossible feeling to explain in words, but to me, this video is exactly how depression feels. Hopelessness, chaos, violence, regret, recklessness.
Absolute chills. Welcome back Joji.
Yesss
yes it has been awhile hasn't it
2:17😭😭😭
Sup Maz and yea this song is different then what Jojis made can’t wait for something new
Hi maaz
Man this video fucked me up. Currently 79 days sober, but my life was chaotic like this when my drinking got really bad. The song and visuals have me in tears right now. Glad to be sober, but this brought me back to some memories of being in a dark place. Staying in my friends backyard in a shed with beer cans and trash on the floor, doing stupid shit just to feel something, the arguments, fights, the chaos. It was all something I thought I thrived in. Today is completely different. Thank you Joji.
proud of you man
Congrats on getting pass that stage, staystrong man, I wish you the best
Love ya buddy. 🤍🤍🤍
You're doing amazing! Stay strong brother! :)
ты большой молодец!
This music video hits so hard... i used to be those guys... when my mom had cancer... i used to hang out with who ever and do almost anything just to forget about everything else, miss you mom, im doing ok.
I’m sure she is beyond proud that you are better now and in this moment that’s all that matters much love and blessing to you.
Our mothers Will only think the best of us i’m sure you’ve exceeded your moms hopes for you she’s always watching ❤️
damn this comment hit hard as fuck man
Wishing you all the best🤍
hey! its so crazy cz the same thing i did and i've beaten myself up for years for it,if its not personal to ask did you regret not spending more time ?
even looking back now as a novice, this is one of the most prolific montage of angst and chaos ive ever witnessed in my small life. this is incredible. this is music and art colliding in the most unfortunately real way. thanks joji for sacrificing sanity for our understanding.
!i know u his fan but my idol gomunkul6 much better
You can never find the same person twice. Not even in the same person....

Most unique take of sad love song. On repeat since it came out 🖤
Literally
oh really? NF - TIME
@@verttissavibe HHAHAHA
@@verttissavibe no
it's more like a twisted love song than a sad one. imagine dating someone so perfect yet u're still hung up with ur ex
the worst feeling isn't being alone or being mad or angry, its being forgotten by someone you could never forget.
Damn
You need to go deeper. If you can't il explain
goofy ah
That's DEEEEEP.........
I’d rather her be upset, angry, annoyed, with me, then her forgetting me all together…
The fact that my playlist of Joji will range from emotional songs like this, to songs like Fried Noodles, is amazing.
The emotional pain displayed in this video is indescribable. The way it is all displayed sends a message that is on a straight passage straight into the soul. This is the art of realism and its amazing.
Yeah ,I feel the same way. I fr cried to this song lol. It got me, because well. I can kind of relate to it. And yes, I agree that it is art. It did hit me pretty hard. I don't know about you guys but Joji's music always hits me straight into the soul.
So whats the message?
@@justinianthegreat154 this is what a friend told me what it means "But glimpse of us if you read the lyrics is a story about the guy finding someone so perfect that makes his days better and carries their stress for them no matter what but even though this girl is so perfect he still wishes it was her (as in his ex) so each time he looks into her eyes he sees a glimpse of him and his ex instead of him and his current girlfriend meaning he was never over her and even in some of the lyrics says he's fine and over it he then wonders if he laughs the way he did and if one day she feels lonely he hopes he can see a glimpse of him in his new boyfriends eyes and then it repeats with him seeing a glimpse of them
" so yeah there's your answer.

This really hits close to home, I lived like this after my girlfriend passed away. I was destructive I was an addict and headed headed to either prison or the graveyard. I can finally say I’m 30 days sober and staying out of trouble. Also Joji is amazing and so is this song.
I'm so proud of you man, keep going and living your story. 💚
We're proud of you, brother. I believe in you.
30 days sober? Dude that’s amazing!! There are many beautiful things in store for you, both now and in the future. I’m wishing you the best.
Prayers
30 days sober- that awesome man. Keep going, you’re doing amazing!
i am not someone who can really cry, but every part of my soul and my eyes ache. this video screams every horrible wrenching feeling i’m living right now. i lost my fiancée who was also a huge joji fan and who i used to dance with her to slow dancing in the dark when it came out what feels like lifetimes ago now. she died by suicide in 2020, and my life is so changed and broken forever.
this video sums up the emotions of the spiral that poverty and grief and abuse from others has kept me in the middle of ever since my beloved died.
i am homeless right now, but i am doing everything i can to get my shit together and live a life that my girl would be proud of me for.
I wish all the best for you, my friend. I hope you find happiness and fulfillment in your life whatever that may be.
and she is so proud of you, keep on pushing, she’s watching over you
You can do it. Don't back down.
wish you well brother
You're gonna make it brah,do it for her 💪
This song reminds me of my personal favourite quote:

Filling emptiness with self destruction, something I've never experienced but had friends go through it. Drowning in drugs, alcohol and giving little care for anything. Its hard to watch and help people through that, especially if it's over a girl, but I coudnt imagine how hard it would be to go through it myself - this music video is just simply a work of art, the emotion just pours through the screen.
The emptiness is self destruction, and sometimes, some of us dive in headfirst.
I understand this completely. It just gets to a point when you're safe and settled that you almost miss all of it, like it was fun. This song couldn't have come at a more perfect time for me and a lot of others, I'm sure. What a powerful way to explore that time of my life and gain closure.

Missing my best friend after 4 months of being on bad terms, we got this
@@kapitanelayjah2412 Same.
The chaotic atmosphere video plus the sad song just makes the vibe even sadder
(My Interpretation)
Song:
The lyrics is about how he isn't truly in love with the person he is with now even though she seems perfect. He is still so strongly attached to the girl he was with before to where everything about the girl he is with now reminds him of her. He also doesn't want to get over her which leads him to stay with his current relationship because it reminds him of his feelings of before.
MV:
It correlates with the music video by showing us his actions but expressed through a violent group with emotions. They know their actions are wrong but it's what gets them going without actually getting them anywhere. It seems like their actions should keep them happy and fulfilled in life, but it is only a distraction from their past that they still reminisce over. So, they feel stuck because they think there is nowhere else to go but also no way back. It affects the people around them, their loved ones, and ultimately themselves.
The affect of the groups choices reflects to the affect of his choices. He believes that he has to stay with this girl because it's the closest thing to his reason of living which was the girl before. Same as these guys continuing their harmful actions because it's the only fulfillment in life.
That's all I got for now, im kinda brain dead now
i dont think theres a girl. id like to think the old flawed love he cant quit is his past stripped-back chaotic self/life and this new conventionally ideal love he cant commit to is his new established leveled-out lifestyle but he just cant quite reprogram himself to be content with or enjoy that kind of subtlety. or it all feels too disingenuous. he craves a part of who he used to be, a reckless mentality portrayed in this videos, regardless of how backwards that may be to his personal or career's wellbeing
@@stuck_around what i love about this music video is that the meaning isn’t obvious so its really upto our own imagination of what we think the meaning is based on our own experiences and observations. I definitely see your interpretation knowing his past
i think that you are totally right. there is a girl and he does not know how to express feelings to her even though they are in a relationship. she reminds him of his previous lover and that hurts him.
Just with the crazy crew in the music video i was thinking the glimpse of us he's referring to is his old pals he used to make videos with (max, chad, idubbz)
To me, I feel like Myron's interpretation is pretty spot on. I loved how you've worded this. This interpretation, along with the music video, makes the song hit harder. Shit got me in my feels.
This made feel a certain kind of way I don't feel often... really incredible juxtaposition of song/video.

This is quite possibly the strongest Joji song. This guy is struggling with being forgotten, with a sense of displacement, as well as seemingly worthlessness with no way to combat it. Violence seems to be the only outlet, thus leading to criminality and incarceration. Nothing hurts more than being forgotten by that someone who meant the world to you
lol trust me ocnly future is prince six SIXMYFACE
This portrays a story about a gathering of guys who suffer in a way that they can relate, they let the chaotic energy determine the actions they make to help cope with the emotional torment that overwhelms them. To forget and to move on
well said
That sums up pretty well, arigatou🥺
It's a Fight Club plot, basically

fr i was expecting smth cute 😭, i literally watched the whole video open mouthed
It's straight up Art. I thought it was gonna be another neat joji track, but I watched the video and was just speechless. No matter the situation, the song perfectly demonstrates someone who is completely stuck in life. As someone who's felt the same way for years, this song made me break down. I may have never had a relationship or have done risky activities, but the video's overwhelming amount of chaos, apathy, and loneliness hit me right in the face.
Mmmm this comment
This song really represents losing one’s self. Throughout the video there’s a lot of situations where it seems like someone is just trying to fuck around with their life in order to cope with the fact that they don’t know what to do with themselves anymore. Trying to change and move away from the past but just still ending up in the same fucked up world. This video is genuinely a true piece of art that shows how it truly feels to feel alone. If you’re reading this and are having thoughts like these, you aren’t alone
I second your comment. May they all stay strong and have a speedy recovery!
Dont read my name 😑,
This hit the spot tonight. Not the current situation but recovering from so much “fun”. People love and appreciate you too 💜
Definitely leaves a feeling of loss...glad my interpretation isn't alone! You can feel the pain and frustration in the clips..the head grasping with the hands.. we've all been there.
❤️
I can feel how the guy in yellow feel. When I lost her, I started to look for chaos and excitement to get away from the pain, but I don’t feel a piece of joy from doing all the shit, instead I everytime I calm down, the memories hit me like a damn truck
Pure art.
BRO I LOVE YOUR REACTIONS ALL OF THEM. YOU LIKE JOJI TOO????! can't wait for the next AoT upload. or whatever upload
This looks like the life of a person I knew once, Not art, Not even close. Some drug and alchoal abuse with some neglect thrown in there and you have a shit show.

@@danielcarr1479 lmao that’s tough. Hopefully this is a sign that there’s a reaction vid of this song coming.

I know the song is amazing but paired with this video, it’s absolutely perfect. For those who are saying the video is too loud or too opposite of the song, you’re missing the point. Depression is a fucked up thing. The outlet of how we choose to deal with it can sometimes be loud and chaotic but in the end, it’s just a front. Thanks Joji for this. This was incredible.
INCREDIBLE
Thank God someone else said it.
Really feel for them that this has went over their heads.
It's sad and it hurts to know that this is what my partner feels when she's going through something like this
Yeah, there are people like that. Why isn't he showing his face anymore tho? Why isn't anyone thinking of that? Why is this video so stupid also?
Maybe it's about how he used to be
I think I prefer listening to the song with the background noise of the music video. I love the sound of chaos with his melancholic voice. Although it's a big contrast, it says a lot about these heightened emotions. In the midst of destruction and violence, whether that'd be internal or external, there's a quiet sadness in the centre of it. And all these sounds played together strengthens these two extremes. They are born from each other and die within each other. It's the highs of all this frustration and anger, and the lows of sadness and yearning. They blend together so well to the point where you can't really untangle them and pull them apart. They just learn to co-exist with one another somehow and that's how you get broken people who are hurting.
good rhetorical analysis
gawddamn
🥺👏
Ok, Jaden Smith.
yeh, i feel like with no background sound it's just kinda... empty. Like i think this is truly the way George wanted us to view the whole story, living chaotic with a purpose - a mean to cope or escape sth.
She just passed away yesterday. There was still love left on both sides and we remained best friends. We thought maybe in a few years when our circumstances change we could be a thing for real and not just a fling. But she just died and I can't stop thinking of her and I know for the rest of my life I'll remember almost every moment together.
I know exactly what this video is, it’s the downfall after “the incident” between you and someone else. In your head you’re living life to your fullest and your trying to prove you can be happy without them but it all really ends in you spiraling out of control.
indeed, to add, he sees a glimpse of his past relationship on his current girlfriend eyes.
This song and video hit at home right now.
Everything is gone, everything is wrong.
But when you see that special person again, you look at what was or could have been.

@Elytra _ ye i remember i was jus saying joji
ok eeeeeeee
The sad truth is that, the universe doesnt cares about us, it doesnt wants to see us happy, neither works to make us sad, we just dont have a reason to be who we are, emotions dont have a reason to exist, and we dont have reasons to be sad. Everyone can and probably will have this feeling. And if you feel this, i know that you're low, but once you hit the bottom there's nowhere to go but up. Dont give up on trying, more people fail by giving up than people who fail when they try. And in the end everything is gonna be alright, if not in this life, then at least we will all rest, but while we dont rest, stop blaming yourself for everything, stop crying for what could've been, and work on yourself to be a person you love, in the end it doesnt matters.
Joji surely knows how to hit those "sadness spots" in our brains with his music. Truly a genius.

This was possibly the most depressing song visually from Joji
It shows the descent of a man into madness and complete self destruction, notice how the video accelerates, going faster and faster, indicating that when somebody starts falling into the darkness, they keep on falling faster and faster into the abyss and no matter how much hallucinogens or alcohol you consume, no matter how mad you drive yourself, it'll only make you fall faster...
incredible
I agree 100% this MV was so unique in it's nature and gave the song itself entirely new layers on top of the actual lyrics, showing us the absolute chaos that ensues in a man's life when he gives up on everything, it's beautifully melancholic

god bless her🙏🏼
God bless you and your mom bro
dealing with those things is hard for anyone to persevere with. if i were you, id let her know that you are there if she needs a shoulder to cry on, or to just let out her feelings. as someone who struggles with this daily, this is the best advice i could give to you. i hope it gets better for you and your mom! bless you both 🙏 the worst you can do to her is to let her feel guilty about herself. make her feel safe to express her emotions and thoughts, even if it's difficult to do so. sometimes you have to look out for your parents through the hard times. i hope this helps 💜
Sending both of you so much love.

This is like the coldest song I've heard in a long time
this song in particular is like getting a bucket of ice thrown at you and you're left wanting a warm hug
Wouldn't say it's the best song in terms of complexity but I get what u mean
Death is hughing you, not a warm heart bro
It’s true
I interpret this song not as someone who lost a relationship, but a part of themselves. Whenever I hear this song it makes me reminisce of the innocent carefree happy child I used to be (I'm thinking of the way it was) and it makes me sob violently. I wish I could go back to being that person; now I'm always exhausted and my mental health keeps declining. I said I'm fine, said I'll move on with life but I'm only here passing time idly; hoping to find some small moment of happiness, a glimpse of what was.
i feel you 😞
We shall honor Filthy Frank
that was me this beginning of the year. I was so close to giving up, actually I did give up. I was so close to ending it all. I took a much need break from life and everything that came with it. I decided not to interact with anything or anyone. And it didn't get better right away. I laid in bed all day sometimes not even watching anything, just laying there. Then maybe after a month or so, I started leaving my room. I attempted to keep up regular hygiene which is something I only know do somewhat routinely. Then it was introspection and finding what you actually want out of this life. What do you actually want to do that is not influenced by expectations or pressures of others on you. And then its mustering up the courage to take that leap. I essentially change my life course in the latter stage of education. My relatives were concerned with it being so late. And I had to reiterate that IT was MY life and THIS DECISION IS A RISK ON MY FUTURE I WAS WILLING TO TAKE because if I don't take this risk THERE IS NO FUTURE FOR ME. It's hard but I stopped listening to people especially when they think they know what's best and give advice like " you need to start getting your shit together" or "just do it" like I don't know that already. And those who can't possibly fathom that thinking about doing something and actually going through with it are two different things. But after the self turmoil and breaking free from the pressures and expectations I can tell you now I am not necessarily happy but rather content with the choices I have made now. I've managed to rebuild apart of me that I thought was lost in time. The happiness and joys that were prominent in my childhood.
I know if you're mind is made there is nothing I can say really and truly to inspire you, but take this from a person who was where you are right now in August 2021 up until the essentially April/may of 2022, that recovery is possible and things you reminisce about are still achievable and still brings the same joy that you felt just maybe in other forms. I used to paint and write a lot but I haven't in years because they don't bring joy anymore. Now I play solitaire on the daily multiple times a day in my living area with a deck of cards I had for ages and the joy I get from wining propels me to move on.
Good luck on finding yourself and I really hope you make it past this seemingly never-ending or rather permanent part of your life.
I hope you find peace and happiness.
This comment has hit very hard
no matter how much disturbance the video holds, but the song holds the memories, feelings, emotions
wow. this video reminds me of how much a video can really touch you. I really enjoy how many ways you can interpret this - a lover missing a lover, a parent missing a child, or the way I saw it, someone grieving the loss of their old self. Covering the pain up in whatever means necessary, spiraling out of control. incredible.
"someone grieving the loss of their old self" is dead spot on for me, wow. Reading that line felt like a train just hitting my ever withering mental state, fuck. To whoever is reading this, whatever it is that you're going through; it does and will get better, life is a roller coaster and sometimes you just get stuck at the bottom for what feels like an eternity but it will and YOU will always come back up, better and stronger. I promise.
This represents a loss of control over one’s self and the circumstances in their life. Beautifully done.
Thank you for that explanation.
No, it's about bitches and dating them, but you loved someone else and now you are dating a new person, but it's not love. She is "perfect" but it doesn't mean you feel that about her.
@@phaidreo You didn't watch the video huh
@@kimiskickback dude, you obviously don't know joji's work.
Yeah...

When I used to listen to this song, you were by my side, so I never felt anything special in it. But after you left, I finally understood what it means.
The chaos and destruction amongst a few friends and trying to out run and distract the inner feeling of despair and sadness take me back to my teenage years. A place there sadness is veiled by the overwhelming noise of events that are caused by ourselves to drown out the ever present trauma that lurks and emerges no matter how hard you try to hide it with good times, danger and small pieces of pure things like animals. Glad that's all behind me, Great video Joji.
It's so beautiful fr so much sorrow underneath and it hits hard
Reminds me of pink guy
It encapsulate the exact feelings and mental processes of what is happening inside or even around people after losing Contact and relationship to very loved ones
this a villian monologue but go on you speaking facts brodie
This song really makes one to go through nostalgia lane. The good and bad memories, all is so precious and worth to be remembered…
This song is beautifully depressing and I cannot stop listening to it
me too
relatable, I'm literally obsessed with it, so angelic
hat
frl
"beautifully depressing" yes i understand
Ella me quita el mundo de mis hombros
Si era pesado moverse...
Convirtio mi lluvia en arcoiris
Cuando estaba viviendo en la melancolia
Entonces, porque ella es tan perfecta?
Todavia deseas que fueras tu?
Perfecto no significa que este funcionando..
Entonces que puedo hacer?
Cuando estás fuera de la vista
En mi mente
Porque algunas veces, cuando veo tus ojos
es ahi donde veo el brillo de nosotros
y trato de caer en tu toque
Pero pienso como era en ese entonces
Digo estoy bien y segui adelante
Solo estoy aqui pasando tiempo en tus brazos
Esperando encontrar el brillo de nosotros
Dime si el saborea tu gloria
Si el rie de la manera en que yo lo hacia
es esto parte de tu historia?
Una en la que no eh vivido
talvez un dia te sentiras sola y en tus ojos estara ese brillo
talvez iras lento y me encontraras otra vez
🤙✨ gracias
Llore ;-;

On the outside its thugs taking drugs committing crimes for fun but under the skin their nightmares are their reality. Truly beautiful
I can’t even say they’re thugs, sad trash maybe. they remind me of some of the wayward young dudes in my area that hang out together. They don’t have any prospects, seldom employed or in a relationship for long. Broke but somehow there is always an open bottle around. They also somehow have a set of wheels which they use to show up to whatever gathering that’s going on, probably where they stole the booze. Probably burned bridges with their families or are in bad terms so they just hang around with the crew. You can see they’re struggling with demons and they gravitate toward each other to commiserate in their shared shack. together is probably the only way they can survive but also they hold each other down. They can’t afford anything themselves but together can scrounge enough for what they want. They all have problems with the law and at least one is always in jail for something, nothing long term.
@@matthewnelson6103 well said. You should go into sociology cause you hit nail on head
@@matthewnelson6103 fuck this comment is perfect
@@peteaxe2067 Thanks but its just a phenomena I have seen first hand with people I knew. Like I used to chill with one of the dudes and I'd come over to their place which was always a mess and I got to see the chaos for myself. It was too much for me after awhile as their was always this stressful vibe even though nothing was really going on. They were cool with me but in the background their was alot of angst and pent up frustration that was simmered down by depression and fatigue.
me when i cant find the song from Trolled (2018)
Glimpse of us isn’t just about a girl and an ex. Its about something you love reminding you of something you loved.
that made me feel slightly better. thanks stranger!
Thank you!
The most accurate statement,thanks bro!
It's a reminder of his old self as Frank
Finally it's here th-cam.com/video/J60b81pexkY/w-d-xo.html
This video hits home. Fuck this shit hurts. The self destructive patterns of a young person who not only is in a situation like this, but loses someone they love because of it. Not trying to be a “snobby person” that over analyzes things, but it’s an absolute work of art.
**pretentious
I'd say the Ines who don't understand are underanalyzers. You're deep enough to feel beyond what's seen. To understand the depths beyond the forefront. The over analyzers are the ones that get it.
@@charliebrown9489 what part were you correcting
@@maxhadanidea probably when I said “snobby person”
Pretentious fits better. Lmao
The irony in that Charlie 😂😂😭😭
Comedic peak 👌
Coming from a broken home, this shit made me cry so hard and loosing my fiance to covid made me cry even more ..this is the first time I ever heard this song..
One of the most well-crafted and creative music videos ever made. The quick cuts, the sadness, the escalating violence of the life the protagonist is living while trying to both grapple with and escape his feelings; it’s fucking brilliant.
Amazing work as always, Joji.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
this words .. talking speak on behalf of me
literally..
It’s almost like, “Gimme Love”.
Aka crap
yes
I cried. I literally cried. I could feel the despair and the self loathing and the want to be better but unable to be. The sense of being lost, no control, no hope. And the memory of a better time. The thought that you'll never have that again but that you can't let that memory go. I could really FEEL this song, and that's rare.
I cannot get over the emotions it has brought out in me. This is,a turmoil of feelings. It's the most beautiful song I ever heard,it's the most disturbing video I have ever seen. It is total despair,with no hope. My heart breaks,,,,,so very sad,so very lost,so very empty,except for violence and self loathing. My God,,,,,,,🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
idk what you guys are talking about, I've seen worse, and half of this video you can see irl. You just have be in a certain income bracket.
also idk I'd I speak for all of us, but it's really only sad to a small few. the majority feels only rage... a most equal opposite.
Exactly how I feel about it🥺
I pray you get good for your life.
@@chriscooper632 it doesn’t matter what your income bracket is, everyone will always understand heartbreak and pain and sure some of it is worse for other people but individually everyone has a period in life where they understand the emotion of this song, this song is for everyone.
Everyone who's a drug addict, suicidal, who's a bully, who's depressed, etc, I feel for you'll. People might not understand and hate you or dislike you, on the inside we all want to be "good" and perfect. All of us are different, the problems are not just what we see with our eyes. People don't express, and I'm not expecting them to be. But I wish all of us in this planet to be happy, at least find peace. Happiness is the thing we need to live no matter we're rich or poor. I just genuinely wish for all of us to be happy and content with what we are and try to move on and do better and healthier with our lives
It just crazy how Ive seen him grow from having chocolate spat into his mouth to now making songs and getting top 10 on the billboard charts. Its crazy and these songs are just so beautiful. Thank you joji for everything.
Truly amazing to watch
He was music genious back then too
I won't say that's growing. That was him as well, this is him as well. Both are a form of art, respect both of him
@@permissiyus5822 For Pink Guy.
This is just a regular Filthy Frank video but with a serious song
The worst feeling isn't being alone, its being forgotten by someone you could never forget.
hope you're okay bro. respond so we know you're good. you aren't alone and you can always talk
@@L1STERINE I'm fine. And I hope she is okay too
Why did this comment hit me right in the chest and my eyes swelled up with tears
