The songs get slower and his voice gets deeper. For me, I see a kid who lived in a toxic home with parent who hated each other and the older the kid gets, the more they accept it. V1 is a child, positive and thinking everything is going to be ok. V2 is a teen realizing it's not and begins to become angry with everyone and everything. V3 is a 18 year old who finally accepts what happened and moves on in his life without his home life effecting him.
I always thought that: V1 is a sort of edgy teenage phase, not really understanding how tough life is on a regular basis and thinking they're going through the worst parts V2 is the young adult, learning to love life and deal with the bad parts V3 is the kid all grown up, in their 30s or later, still knowing how to deal with the bad of life, but struggling with the idea of the fact that they're no longer as young and energetic as they used to be
First is a kid mad because their parents aren't in love, second is a little bit older trying not to talk or thing about it and acting like they don't care but actually do and the third one is still mad but is already older and need to act like an adult to make adults happy
Once i saw a comment similiar to yours but it was build diffrentlly. by witch i mean the person who wrote it was thinking other than you. but this time i must agree with ur version! cause i see the same way as you, the story of Devil Boy.
guys i love ur deep interpretations but can we pay attention to how his voice changing with development on testosterone!!?!?! DUDE!! i want to sound like him one day
@@bread6704 I DIDN'T KNOW THAT, THAT'S SO LOVELY, HE SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AAA 💖 I'm sure you will sound like him or even better soon enough! Good luck
I literally used to have crying sessions to V1, but V2 makes me feel better about feeling numb, V3 reminds me of how much I have to live for and it's really good to listen to all of them in one sitting
V1 is the youngest kid overwhelmed and just feeling so bad but has to pretend they know nothing cause they're meant to be innocent and happy 24/7 V2 is the oldest trying to help the situation to help the youngest while slowly dying inside V3 is the middle child feeling numb and going on a rollercoaster of emotions not knowing what to do
That's me and my siblings, but snow (the youngest) knows what's going on, but not completely, she doesn't know our parents are planning a divorce, and me and amber are trying to help, and protect her.
V1: the not very bright, but fun one. They look up to V3. V2: the quiet, calm kid that no one understands well. They hang out with V1 and V3 as a way to escape from their problems. V3: the one who's willing to take care of V1 and V2, no matter what V3 is going through.
This doesn’t remind me of 3 siblings, I believe it’s one kid who’s parents divorced at a young age. At first they didn’t understand and brushed it off, then as he got a little older the reality started kicking in and had a hard time coping. In the end he came to peace with the fact that his parents weren’t together anymore.
My life story right here. I have divorced parents and it’s hard, especially when your step mom and her family does care about you…. let’s just say she’s the reason why I’m in therapy

V2 just makes me want to break down, scream, yet.. smile while doing it. My best friend introduced me to this song.. I have memories of how close we used to be.
Here's my little thing for the different versions of this song. This entire thing seems like 3 children of a dysfunctional family talking about it to someone (the person being different each time). V1 seems like the youngest child who doesn't know the family is dysfunctional and thinks that it's totally fine and everyone's happy! They're optimistic and don't really like when people get all pessimistic on them, making them the sun of the family. V2 is the middle child who's starting to discover that the family is dysfunctional however they still hold hope that it will change, believing that something might come along that'll fix the family dynamic and make it stable again. And finally V3 is the oldest child. They've realized just how dysfunctional the family really is and has known for years, they try holding the family for their younger siblings however they're slowly crumbling and they're soon going to be unable to help it stay together. V3 is trying to keep the younger siblings from realizing what's going on however when they find out that V2 is slowly realizing what's happening they try to reassure V2, saying everything's gonna be alright and that the family will be fine even though V3 knows that there's no hope. Nothing can fix it and the family is bound to break.
I agree, except for me Instead of V1 being unaware, I saw them as a kid who 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙨 what's happening, but just chooses to ignore it to try and be happy. As they say, ignorance is bliss..
Idk about the other two, but I relate the the last one. I’m 15, and v3 has been my comfort for a bit. My parents have been divorced for years, and my mom dated an abusive asshole for 12 years. I had to protect my brother because he was scared the dickweed was gonna hurt him. But now, even after all this, my mom just goes on to date another abusive asshole. The only difference is that he only sbuses me mostly, so at least my brother is safe now
@@PineMountainMusician I'm so, so sorry for what you're going through. You're strong for being able to put up with this. As someone who escaped an abusive household but had to leave my younger sister behind, your bravery is incredibly commendable. I hope you get out, and I hope your brother is safe too. Stay safe and know there's always someone out there who loves you :)
The first song feels like "life is shit but idc because I'm a kid" and gives off a rowdy feeling, of childhood friendships. The second song feels like a teenager, and how the dark part of life has finally sunk in. And yet, there seems to be a peaceful acceptance and will to somehow climb over this mountain woven into the background, told best by the instruments. But its hard to keep that up forever. And there is that part that sounds like a mental breakdown. But they pick up the pieces again to give a little smile at the end, to show that they arent broken just yet!
I see the song as two friends who had a suicide pact. V1 is realizing that it’s just to much in the world so the both die. V2 is him regretting it because he did love some people. Also feeling bad the her life ended too soon. V3 is them starting to forget their lives. They also can be the only comfort because no one comes to visit them anymore.
This reminds me of me and my old best friend. Version 1, 6 years ago: We're happy, trusting kids who don't give a damn about the world. Version 2, a year and a half ago: Her emotionally abusive parents get divorced. All we have are each other. Version 3, a couple months ago: She committed suicide, and I made a promise that I'd live for her. Rest in peace, old friend.
she is so proud of you. i know you'll see her again someday, and you'll tell her how life went fo you. it is worth it to keep going, i promise. good luck, dear. i'm really sorry for both her and for you, but i assure you it'll be worth it to keep living
I'm sure no one will see this, but I just want to say that every time I listen to these songs I tear up. They remind me of such joy and nostalgia from late summer nights with friends. The fireflies, the crickets, the warmth of their smiles, it's all so clear. But then I remember that it never happened, and I feel thier essence strangling my heart. I never had such a childhood, and now it's all too late.
Too many of us lost our childhood all we can do is warn younger people to not keep wanting to grow up or wasting there childhood as being a child is the nicest part of your life, the older you get the more you understand how shitty the world is and it will never change
The songs remind me that I don't need a father to be happy anymore, after all, I'm old enough to be happy even with a neglectful mother and absent father. Even when I am jealous of people with functional families, I have myself and my room.
V1 is him being a little kid and going through his parents just divorcing and being extremely angry about it V2 is him in the middle school/ highschool dealing with it, it still hurts him but he's dealing with is but low-key it depresses him V3 is him as an adult revisiting those feelings and just letting it go and looking at it with a bittersweet feeling
timestamps because i havent seen it yet :-) _____ ver 1: 0:00 ver 2: 2:59 ver 3: 8:08 also tysm for making this version :,) the background is so soothing and the audio quality is amazing
I just see these two best friends going through shit at a young age together, having no hope over anything at all, only finding comfort with each other, having a little world of their own which they call the devil town.
Here's my interpretation of story version (mainly based off. V1) Across the street you see him wave. You've been best friends since you were nine. Met in school as the new kid and he helped. He played guitar. You played drums. You'd started a band when you were 12. You heard your parents shouting at eachother and lost time. He turned up the amp and you slammed the drums harder. You always hated spiders. He picked a huge one up and showed it to you. "they're more scared of you". You both smiled and put it on the windowsill. You both hated maths. You messed about and called out the wrong answers acting like idiots. Music was his speciality. He loves messing about with keyboards and screaming lyrics to songs. Trying to be loudest. English was always yours. You always enjoyed making up new worlds. He made small jokes about you being an author. You liked it when he said that. His parents split up when you were 15. He wanted to stay with his dad. So he could stay with you. But his Mum wasn't in a good state. She dragged him out to some shack in the middle of nowhere. That was one of your worst days. When he didn't show up to class. But now you're both together. And happy. You are happy, right? Right?
Cleaning my room while listening to this at max volume with earbuds, ive had a headache all day and for some reason this is just perfection when having a headache
“I forgot my name again I think that’s something worth remembering” it feels relatable as how many times I forget the name I was given until I come home and it just me in the face🥲
V1 is the youngest sibling. Enjoying life, messing with their friends, completely oblivious to the Hellish world they were brought into. V2 is the middle sibling. Special in their own way, "weird" in others eyes. Just trying to enjoy their life, making the most of it despite knowing they're different. V3 is the eldest sibling. Listening to their parents fight, having to grow up quicker than others. They still have a lot of unresolved trauma, but they're getting through it, learning to see the light in the world, and enjoying life to the best they can. They're always there to support their younger siblings, to ensure they don't end up like they did. Hope you enjoyed my view on the songs :>
V1 sounds like (the youngest child/a child) is confused yet still understands what going on around them. V2 sounds like (the oldest child/that same child) is used to the chaos that happens in Deviltown but just wants the chaos to stop. V3 sounds like (the middle child/that same child) is confused about what to think anymore and is giving up on life.
I feel like doing a story! V1- You just turned 14 and are sneaking out, this is a first for you but you're going to see your best friend. You try to be edgy, with your clothes and you try to be rebellious. Both of you have the time of your lives, but then stuff starts to come out and you two start talking serious. You're not in a good mental state you hate your parents , they just listen to you ramble everything out. Until you say what's been burning in your mind you tell them "I love you" and they lean in and kiss you, you knew you would always love them, together you walk back home holding hands, your parents caught you but you don't care later, you hear them screaming at each other soon was the divorce. Vs2- You're now 16, things have changed but some things haven't. You've sort of found your style. you still talk to your best friend but it's been different for awhile. You're sneaking out of your dad's house, out into the woods, listening to music. Then you see them. They look up, "I didn't expect to see you" they say. You nod. The two of you walk around and talk like the old days. Remembering all the times the both of you snuck out together but then just grew apart. Again, serious topics come up, the divorce, how both of you are unstable, and why you drifted apart. You want to hold them but they aren't right in the head and you tell them you'll always be here. Always. By the time you get home it's 5 am. Your father is still asleep, and you can't stop thinking. You love them. More than words could express... They're the only reason you're still here. Your parents both suck and you feel worthless. But they are a light. Vs.3- You're 18, you moved out now you're alone. You don't know what happened to them. They stopped going to school, you didn't know why. Last time you two talked you told them everything and told them you loved them and they just gave a weak smile. No one tools you what happened. Your best friend disappeared. You didn't know if they moved or worse. But you found out. They took their own life. The news got you like a ton of bricks. Now all you have are the memories of sneaking out wishing you could go back. But you cant. They saved you, but you wished you could have saved them Thx for reading!!! Ik it was kinda long and sad EDIT: ...Ive never had over 100 likes for a comment before
Oh gosh that was sad. I love this though!. Makes me feel greatfull of what I have. I still have my parents and my friends. Thank you for writing this!💙💙💙❤❤❤
I see everyone talking about the versions as siblings and I love that idea but I have an extension of that. If anyone knows the book (or movie, I've only read the book tho) The Outsiders, I can't help but think of the versions as the Curtis boys. It just fits so well! (Spoilers ahead so if you are gonna read or watch it stop reading now!) I feel like V1 is Ponyboy, V2 is Sodapop, and V3 is Darry. Obviously, the fact that the versions go down in pitch with each one, and Soda and Darry would have deeper voices than Pony so that helps. I feel like the anger and excitement of the first version matches how passionate Pony is about helping to stop kids like Johnny, Dally, and Bob from having the same fates as they did. I think that the second version has a lot of confusion and although it's slower than v1, it's still energetic, which matches with Sodapop feeling torn between his two brothers and having a lot going on between Pony and Johnny leaving and Sandy leaving. V3 is the slowest and has the deepest voice, and Darry is the oldest. Darry is also the calmest because he has to be to provide for his younger brothers. It also has lyrics from the other two versions, which fits nicely with Darry, especially when he calls Pony "little buddy" showing he is as close to him as Soda. Tldr: I like to draw connections between two unrelated things that were obviously not intended. Feel free to debate in the replies!!
We read that in school a couple years ago, and yeah, I completely agree. I remember that story really hit hard for me. I think I still have my copy I bought for school, so I might reread
My theory for this song- There’s a few things about this song that I think are blended, I think it’s a mixture of WWII and and a trans child committing suicide. Example: we’re all in out dressing gowns, mines white and stripey, yours is green and brown. (Auschwitz prisoners wore striped pajamas and the soldiers wore green and brown) - life’s alright in devil town, my ears have acclimated to the sound. (The sound of screaming and the death) Example: I sink my teeth into my fingers blossoms form in the river (he’s laying in the water after overdosing, blossoms represent the blood) - every time I close my eyes the light gets dimmer, clouds fall down (he’s losing his life and is slowly watching its grasp disappear as he’s dying) - I forgot my name again, I think that’s something worth remembering ( he’s changed his name and is numb to the misgendering and can’t feel anything towards the deadnaming and incorrect pronouns) WE’RE ALL DEAD IN DEVIL TOWN IS REPRESENTING AFTERLIFE -every time I close my eyes, the colors change inside my mouth, it’s all too loud (I think this represents the taste of pills but that’s a stretch for some) He constantly mentions him upsetting someone or then being proud of what they’ve done to him. Bullying for being trans and such.
And I think that he’s calling it devil town because it’s hell living in a world where you aren’t accepted as a human being, like trans people are treated and how Jewish people were treated then.
Listening to the three versions in a row you realise how unique and well thought out each one is. I wouldn't of realised if it weren't for this :) Thankyou:)
I see this series of songs as either 3 siblings who ran away from an unhappy name. They have a code sentence "I forgot my name again, I think that's something worth remembering." That means cops are coming. They live in a small part of the woods with a bunch of other runaways. The first version is the youngest, second the middle, third the oldest. It can also be seen as one kid growing older and more used to his parent's bickering. The first version anger, the second grief, the third acceptance. He is an only child so he has no one to talk to, and he doesn't have many friends, but his friend group has a made-up world called "Devil Town." They all play characters, and sometimes they forget their names, their real names, that is. As he grows older he grows more attached to Devil Town, but then a tragedy separates the friend group. The Third version is him thinking back to old times, he is older, more grown-up, but he still thinks about how his parents were always fighting, and about his friends. It's a story without a happy ending.
To everyone who is doing homework, leave the chat, breathe slowly, take a sip of water, and focus To everyone who is trying to sleep, leave the chat, grab a blanket, and get the rest you deserve. To everyone who is feeling sad, grab a snack, get some water, get a blanket, and write down your thoughts. When you're done, lay down, and get some rest, no matter the time. To everyone who is creating, you got this. Your art is amazing. Remain in your flow and get stuff done! If you're reading, relax, Focus, and imagine the beautiful scenes in your head. And if you're playing games like me, Focus on your game and don't give up :D
i feel as if each songs are stages of a child's trauma. the first is angry at the world for what has been done to them. the second is the child slipping away from its anger but still holding it close reaching a stage of hopelessness in its life looking for something else to do, and the last is the child finally ending in depression, they've lost their will well and truly and are probably close to ending it all...
I think it's so amazing to hear the differences in the singer's voice because of testosterone it's amazing to hear the progression of the before, halfway through, and end. I myself as a genderqueer person want to sound like that. I also just love this song because it just makes me feel relaxed and accepted.
Every version is beautiful in its own way, I love how they’re the same song but each one has its own different vibe. Just goes to show how it’s impossible to have a bad Cavetown song.😊
very good, sounds great but there are a couple little things with the audio if you're listening pretty closely, but it's good none the less, so thank you,
Y’all guys ever noticed v3 or basically the middle kid is almost always friends with either only kids or youngest so they’re friends can be they’re kind of sun while they’re the moon while v1 the youngest is trying to be friends with everyone so they can say everything is ok while v2 the oldest isn’t trying to be anybody’s friend so they won’t be a burden
I just love how I can picture the ending of each one how it is just beautiful how the instrumental in the back are each different just hit deep and deeper with lyrics at the end are slightly different
“Mines white and stripey, yours is green and brown.” Is a reference to ww2, Holocaust in particular. “I forgot my name again.” After some time, Jewish began to forget their names because all they were referred to was their numbers on their work clothes. That’s what I interpreted at least.
I will say how much I can relate to which song at what age V1. 10 years old finally realizing the abusive ways of my parent and being aware but not knowing what to do with the information V2. 11 years old knowing the information and wanting the abuse to stop completely but knowing it’s not gonna oh and being suicidal and constantly arguing with that parent and doing SH V3. 12 years old to now , Finally left the parent and is currently recovering and is considering death everyday but somehow not doing it because I know I have much to live for still. :]
You are so young, and have so much to live for. If you ever need to talk to someone, don't hesitate to message me:) I can also relate to these songs very personally from different ages.
V1 is the youngest kid that is upset about the yelling and everything. V2 is the oldest forced to grow up too soon, which has to take care of everyone. V3 is the middle kid that is numb and doesn't know what to do anymore
This feels a bit more like a single child dealing with bad homelife after coming out and they get angry and sad until when their transition is finished and they're leaving, and v3 is them sitting alone, singing to themself, enjoying their new male voice and the quiet without the yelling of their old home. And it's them coming to peace, and well, how else would you enjoy your new voice than singing a tune to yourself?
Ok I'm kinda scared, I was watching this in my tv and bright colours started flashing, I don't like them so I turned it off and watching it in my phone, there aren't any lights? I'm confused
Oh heck! Sorry IG Moreno! I think i deleted your comment insted of mines :0 Sorry! And yes... it probably was a glitch but i do still beloeve tjat this were aliens trying to comunicade with you!
Dude the line “I forgot my name again, that’s probably something worth remembering” hits home especially since I have d.i.d and I can’t remember for the life of me :)
V1 is the younger sibling V2 is the middle child who was forced to grow up V3 is the oldest who doesn't care at this point and has given up on life. I use to be like V1 but now I relate to V2 and V3 the most. Probably why it makes me feel down, yet I still listen to this song, especially V2 and V3.
This doesn't really fit that well but I kinda see it as a friendship growing within a small group of friends (maybe about 3) v1 is getting to know each other and having good times together, but despite knowing each other they don't necessarily know a lot about the other's lives at this point v2 is that somewhat awkward and slowed phase where everyone opens up about their struggles and lives. They all kinda have an "oh shit that's right they have deep and complicated lives too" moment. And trying to hide as much as they can without closing off v3 is after where they end up closer and know each other. There's more of a trust/ bond between them and they help each other grow, go through struggles, and find hope in the world. kinda like a "yeah life's still shitty, but hey, we got each other" sort of thing
V2 lyrics Life's alright in devil town Yeah right, no one's gonna catch us now Daddy's bought a new car now We're fine, no one's gonna catch us now We're all dead in devil town That's fine, cause nothing's gonna scare us now We're all in our dressing gowns Mines white and stripy yours is green and brown I forgot my name again I think that's something worth remembering Spiders in your favourite shoes Just leave them because they're more scared of you Devil town is colder in the summer time I'll lose my mind at least another thousand times Hold my hand tight We'll make it another night I still get a little scared of something new But I feel a little safer when I'm with you Falling doesn't feel so bad When I know you've fallen this way too Life's a treat in devil town My ears have acclimated to the sound Pretty faces fly around and around My head as it contemplates this town I've found It's lovely in the evening time But every time I close my eyes The sunshine gets a little dimmer now The clouds fall down I sink my teeth into my fingers Blossom swims across the river How Do you feel so proud Every time I close my eyes The colours fade and change inside My mouth It's all too loud I sink my teeth into my fingers Blood forms branches in the water It's lovely in the evening time But every time I close my eyes The sunshine gets a little dimmer now The clouds fall down I sink my teeth into my fingers Blossom swims across the river How You feel so proud Every time I close my eyes The colours fade and change inside My mouth It's all too loud I sink my teeth into my fingers Blood forms branches in the water Devil town is colder in the summer time I'll lose my mind at least another thousand times Hold my hand tight We'll make it another night I still get a little scared of something new But I feel a little safer when I'm with you Falling doesn't feel so bad When I know you've fallen this way too
It's 1 AM, I get up for work at 3 AM. I just woke up from a dream of a million flashes of me living my childhood again with these three songs playing in the background of the dream. I'm a young adult now (20). I woke up with tears in my eye's.
So uhhh the three versions of this song actually inspired an oc story of mine. I keep being reminded of it but I never really finished it. I might now. If you wanna learn about them here ya go: Basically it’s three siblings that live in a small town in the south. Similar to gravity falls this town has paranormal happenings that go on every Halloween. Every Halloween a portal opens to a monster realm and the monsters go around the town and take the candy offerings they set out but always leave by dawn. One Halloween the three siblings are sleeping in the basement on Halloween like very year but when they wake their parents are no where to be found. They go up the stairs and look around to find them but out the window they can see red light trickling through, show the blood moon is still out alongside all the monsters. They look at the time but it’s 8:00 AM, it should be morning. The rest of the story is them try to survive during this monster apocalypse while trying to stop it, growing closer than they’d ever been in the process (none of them have a good relationship with each other and it became strained even more as their parents fought more). Anyway there’s my rant for the day lol. Thanks for reading!
All of these are amazing. Literally not even a single part do i not like about the song. My favorite one is definitely v3, since its very soft and calm. Cavetown is an amazing artist! :D
My story line: V1 Your an edgy teen going through a divorce between your parents. You don’t really care that much as you just drown out your own feelings in songs you make. V2 You’ve pretended you didn’t care but your feelings caught up to you and you take your own life. As a spirit stuck on Earth, your content, happy to let things go but one part of you still feels bitter and sad about past experiences and your still trying to cope with them. Some how, you stumble across your old song lyrics and remember your love for writing music and make another song based off of your old favorite song. V3 Your much older, letting go of your feeling completely and feeling as if your free for the first time in years. The memories come rushing back to you, all the happy and sad moments mixing together leaving you not knowing how to feel. You rewrite your song, now named ‘Devil Town’, for the final time as you leave the lyrics behind, feeling the Earth let go of your spirit and allowing it to move on to your new life, either in the underworld or reborn as another person… At least, that’s what’s supposed to happen, right?

V1 is the younger sibling
V2 is the oldest sibling who was forced to grow up
V3 is the middle child who doesn’t care at this point lol
i always felt that V3 was the oldest
@@Angelina__1124 yeahh'
V3 is a middle child giving up on life
v3 seems more like the oldest to me
heh.. when im the middle kids... you have exposed me
The songs get slower and his voice gets deeper. For me, I see a kid who lived in a toxic home with parent who hated each other and the older the kid gets, the more they accept it.
V1 is a child, positive and thinking everything is going to be ok.
V2 is a teen realizing it's not and begins to become angry with everyone and everything.
V3 is a 18 year old who finally accepts what happened and moves on in his life without his home life effecting him.
Relatable but I can't move on yet 😔
I always thought that:
V1 is a sort of edgy teenage phase, not really understanding how tough life is on a regular basis and thinking they're going through the worst parts
V2 is the young adult, learning to love life and deal with the bad parts
V3 is the kid all grown up, in their 30s or later, still knowing how to deal with the bad of life, but struggling with the idea of the fact that they're no longer as young and energetic as they used to be
I thought of testosterone kicking in
@@Bloodyfoxclaws same, hits different as a trans guy
@@Bloodyfoxclaws no, no, it is
First is a kid mad because their parents aren't in love, second is a little bit older trying not to talk or thing about it and acting like they don't care but actually do and the third one is still mad but is already older and need to act like an adult to make adults happy

V1 is the youngest kid overwhelmed and just feeling so bad but has to pretend they know nothing cause they're meant to be innocent and happy 24/7
V2 is the oldest trying to help the situation to help the youngest while slowly dying inside
V3 is the middle child feeling numb and going on a rollercoaster of emotions not knowing what to do
V3 is the oldest (i'm the older sibling but really I think V3 would be more of the oldest child
That's me and my siblings, but snow (the youngest) knows what's going on, but not completely, she doesn't know our parents are planning a divorce, and me and amber are trying to help, and protect her.
I'm actually v1 but I feel like v3
@@kenzo_2725 nah. As a middle sibling, I salvage the conflict and keep up familial guard. I’m totally V3

V1: the not very bright, but fun one. They look up to V3.

V3: the one who's willing to take care of V1 and V2, no matter what V3 is going through.

This doesn’t remind me of 3 siblings, I believe it’s one kid who’s parents divorced at a young age. At first they didn’t understand and brushed it off, then as he got a little older the reality started kicking in and had a hard time coping. In the end he came to peace with the fact that his parents weren’t together anymore.
yess this one!!

Thank you

Why im in v2 and im the middle child 😭
I'm in V3 but i'm oldest
No need to explain my life 😃
Im V3 and im the youngest :D
I’m v3 but I’m an only child
V2 just makes me want to break down, scream, yet.. smile while doing it.
My best friend introduced me to this song.. I have memories of how close we used to be.
"Devil town's a little colder in the summer time, I'll lose my mind at least another thousand times..."
"Hold my hand tight, we'll make it another night."
"We'll make it another night"
"I still get a little scared of something new.."
But I feel a little safer when I'm with you~
falling doesn't feel so bad when I know you've fallen this way too.
Here's my little thing for the different versions of this song.
This entire thing seems like 3 children of a dysfunctional family talking about it to someone (the person being different each time).
V1 seems like the youngest child who doesn't know the family is dysfunctional and thinks that it's totally fine and everyone's happy! They're optimistic and don't really like when people get all pessimistic on them, making them the sun of the family.
V2 is the middle child who's starting to discover that the family is dysfunctional however they still hold hope that it will change, believing that something might come along that'll fix the family dynamic and make it stable again.
And finally V3 is the oldest child. They've realized just how dysfunctional the family really is and has known for years, they try holding the family for their younger siblings however they're slowly crumbling and they're soon going to be unable to help it stay together. V3 is trying to keep the younger siblings from realizing what's going on however when they find out that V2 is slowly realizing what's happening they try to reassure V2, saying everything's gonna be alright and that the family will be fine even though V3 knows that there's no hope. Nothing can fix it and the family is bound to break.
I enjoyed your analysis the most.
I agree, except for me Instead of V1 being unaware, I saw them as a kid who 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙨 what's happening, but just chooses to ignore it to try and be happy. As they say, ignorance is bliss..
You basically described what is going on with my family. I would be V3, My brother is V2, and my Sister is V1.
Idk about the other two, but I relate the the last one. I’m 15, and v3 has been my comfort for a bit. My parents have been divorced for years, and my mom dated an abusive asshole for 12 years. I had to protect my brother because he was scared the dickweed was gonna hurt him. But now, even after all this, my mom just goes on to date another abusive asshole. The only difference is that he only sbuses me mostly, so at least my brother is safe now
@@PineMountainMusician I'm so, so sorry for what you're going through. You're strong for being able to put up with this. As someone who escaped an abusive household but had to leave my younger sister behind, your bravery is incredibly commendable. I hope you get out, and I hope your brother is safe too. Stay safe and know there's always someone out there who loves you :)
The first song feels like "life is shit but idc because I'm a kid" and gives off a rowdy feeling, of childhood friendships.
The second song feels like a teenager, and how the dark part of life has finally sunk in. And yet, there seems to be a peaceful acceptance and will to somehow climb over this mountain woven into the background, told best by the instruments. But its hard to keep that up forever. And there is that part that sounds like a mental breakdown. But they pick up the pieces again to give a little smile at the end, to show that they arent broken just yet!
I see the song as two friends who had a suicide pact. V1 is realizing that it’s just to much in the world so the both die. V2 is him regretting it because he did love some people. Also feeling bad the her life ended too soon. V3 is them starting to forget their lives. They also can be the only comfort because no one comes to visit them anymore.
G_G That's deep.. i never saw that song like that.
I've never seen the song in that way but from now on this my favorite interpretation of it
I mean doesn't the line "we'll make it another night" along with context and tone implying that causes relief in all the songs disprove that?
IM SO GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE
This reminds me of me and my old best friend.
Version 1, 6 years ago: We're happy, trusting kids who don't give a damn about the world.
Version 2, a year and a half ago: Her emotionally abusive parents get divorced. All we have are each other.
Version 3, a couple months ago: She committed suicide, and I made a promise that I'd live for her.
Rest in peace, old friend.
I’m sure that she’s very proud of you, you’re very brave and should totaly keep going! Goodluck dear!
I’m so sorry! She’s definitely in a better place now! And I bet she’s watching over you right now and is very proud of you!
she is so proud of you. i know you'll see her again someday, and you'll tell her how life went fo you. it is worth it to keep going, i promise. good luck, dear. i'm really sorry for both her and for you, but i assure you it'll be worth it to keep living
Hey, just wanted to check in on you, even though I'm a total stranger. How have you been?
How have you been buddy? I hope you're fine.

Devil Town v2 : sounds like a sad teenager
Devil Town v3 : sounds like a tired of everything adult

Hiya!
hi! welcome back
I'm sure no one will see this, but I just want to say that every time I listen to these songs I tear up. They remind me of such joy and nostalgia from late summer nights with friends. The fireflies, the crickets, the warmth of their smiles, it's all so clear. But then I remember that it never happened, and I feel thier essence strangling my heart. I never had such a childhood, and now it's all too late.
Too many of us lost our childhood all we can do is warn younger people to not keep wanting to grow up or wasting there childhood as being a child is the nicest part of your life, the older you get the more you understand how shitty the world is and it will never change
You got me in the first half...
@@cherrydeer812dude
The songs remind me that I don't need a father to be happy anymore, after all, I'm old enough to be happy even with a neglectful mother and absent father. Even when I am jealous of people with functional families, I have myself and my room.
V1 is him being a little kid and going through his parents just divorcing and being extremely angry about it
V2 is him in the middle school/ highschool dealing with it, it still hurts him but he's dealing with is but low-key it depresses him
V3 is him as an adult revisiting those feelings and just letting it go and looking at it with a bittersweet feeling

Obrigada 😸😊
I just see these two best friends going through shit at a young age together, having no hope over anything at all, only finding comfort with each other, having a little world of their own which they call the devil town.
Here's my interpretation of story version (mainly based off. V1)
Across the street you see him wave. You've been best friends since you were nine. Met in school as the new kid and he helped. He played guitar. You played drums. You'd started a band when you were 12. You heard your parents shouting at eachother and lost time. He turned up the amp and you slammed the drums harder.
You always hated spiders. He picked a huge one up and showed it to you. "they're more scared of you". You both smiled and put it on the windowsill.
You both hated maths. You messed about and called out the wrong answers acting like idiots. Music was his speciality. He loves messing about with keyboards and screaming lyrics to songs. Trying to be loudest. English was always yours. You always enjoyed making up new worlds. He made small jokes about you being an author. You liked it when he said that.
His parents split up when you were 15. He wanted to stay with his dad. So he could stay with you. But his Mum wasn't in a good state. She dragged him out to some shack in the middle of nowhere. That was one of your worst days. When he didn't show up to class. But now you're both together. And happy.
You are happy, right?
Right?
Oh boy, you did really, really good job.. I didn't though somebody would take their time to do that G_G
@@sukerivivid I wrote that a little while ago lol! But ty :))
This is amazing, wtf.
woah, amazing
haha no im not happy
Parents may or may not be getting divorced so these songs make me cry, but it still makes me feel better.
Cleaning my room while listening to this at max volume with earbuds, ive had a headache all day and for some reason this is just perfection when having a headache
“I forgot my name again I think that’s something worth remembering” it feels relatable as how many times I forget the name I was given until I come home and it just me in the face🥲
V1 is the youngest sibling. Enjoying life, messing with their friends, completely oblivious to the Hellish world they were brought into.
V2 is the middle sibling. Special in their own way, "weird" in others eyes. Just trying to enjoy their life, making the most of it despite knowing they're different.
V3 is the eldest sibling. Listening to their parents fight, having to grow up quicker than others. They still have a lot of unresolved trauma, but they're getting through it, learning to see the light in the world, and enjoying life to the best they can. They're always there to support their younger siblings, to ensure they don't end up like they did.
Hope you enjoyed my view on the songs :>
This view of the songs is literally me and my little siblings
V1 sounds like (the youngest child/a child) is confused yet still understands what going on around them.
V2 sounds like (the oldest child/that same child) is used to the chaos that happens in Deviltown but just wants the chaos to stop.
V3 sounds like (the middle child/that same child) is confused about what to think anymore and is giving up on life.
I feel like doing a story!
V1- You just turned 14 and are sneaking out, this is a first for you but you're going to see your best friend. You try to be edgy, with your clothes and you try to be rebellious. Both of you have the time of your lives, but then stuff starts to come out and you two start talking serious. You're not in a good mental state you hate your parents , they just listen to you ramble everything out. Until you say what's been burning in your mind you tell them "I love you" and they lean in and kiss you, you knew you would always love them, together you walk back home holding hands, your parents caught you but you don't care later, you hear them screaming at each other soon was the divorce.
Vs2- You're now 16, things have changed but some things haven't. You've sort of found your style. you still talk to your best friend but it's been different for awhile. You're sneaking out of your dad's house, out into the woods, listening to music. Then you see them. They look up, "I didn't expect to see you" they say. You nod. The two of you walk around and talk like the old days. Remembering all the times the both of you snuck out together but then just grew apart. Again, serious topics come up, the divorce, how both of you are unstable, and why you drifted apart. You want to hold them but they aren't right in the head and you tell them you'll always be here. Always. By the time you get home it's 5 am. Your father is still asleep, and you can't stop thinking. You love them. More than words could express... They're the only reason you're still here. Your parents both suck and you feel worthless. But they are a light.
Vs.3- You're 18, you moved out now you're alone. You don't know what happened to them. They stopped going to school, you didn't know why. Last time you two talked you told them everything and told them you loved them and they just gave a weak smile. No one tools you what happened. Your best friend disappeared. You didn't know if they moved or worse. But you found out. They took their own life. The news got you like a ton of bricks. Now all you have are the memories of sneaking out wishing you could go back. But you cant. They saved you, but you wished you could have saved them

(Spoilers ahead so if you are gonna read or watch it stop reading now!)
I feel like V1 is Ponyboy, V2 is Sodapop, and V3 is Darry. Obviously, the fact that the versions go down in pitch with each one, and Soda and Darry would have deeper voices than Pony so that helps.
I feel like the anger and excitement of the first version matches how passionate Pony is about helping to stop kids like Johnny, Dally, and Bob from having the same fates as they did.
I think that the second version has a lot of confusion and although it's slower than v1, it's still energetic, which matches with Sodapop feeling torn between his two brothers and having a lot going on between Pony and Johnny leaving and Sandy leaving.
V3 is the slowest and has the deepest voice, and Darry is the oldest. Darry is also the calmest because he has to be to provide for his younger brothers. It also has lyrics from the other two versions, which fits nicely with Darry, especially when he calls Pony "little buddy" showing he is as close to him as Soda.
Tldr: I like to draw connections between two unrelated things that were obviously not intended. Feel free to debate in the replies!!
It fits a lot
We read that in school a couple years ago, and yeah, I completely agree. I remember that story really hit hard for me. I think I still have my copy I bought for school, so I might reread
V1 - the low before rock bottom
V2 - rock bottom
V3 - no more hope, fuck it.
“You said something dumb again. She’s mad. At least that’s what they said.”
My theory for this song-
There’s a few things about this song that I think are blended, I think it’s a mixture of WWII and and a trans child committing suicide.
Example: we’re all in out dressing gowns, mines white and stripey, yours is green and brown. (Auschwitz prisoners wore striped pajamas and the soldiers wore green and brown)
- life’s alright in devil town, my ears have acclimated to the sound. (The sound of screaming and the death)
Example: I sink my teeth into my fingers blossoms form in the river (he’s laying in the water after overdosing, blossoms represent the blood)
- every time I close my eyes the light gets dimmer, clouds fall down (he’s losing his life and is slowly watching its grasp disappear as he’s dying)
- I forgot my name again, I think that’s something worth remembering ( he’s changed his name and is numb to the misgendering and can’t feel anything towards the deadnaming and incorrect pronouns)
WE’RE ALL DEAD IN DEVIL TOWN IS REPRESENTING AFTERLIFE
-every time I close my eyes, the colors change inside my mouth, it’s all too loud (I think this represents the taste of pills but that’s a stretch for some)
He constantly mentions him upsetting someone or then being proud of what they’ve done to him. Bullying for being trans and such.
And I think that he’s calling it devil town because it’s hell living in a world where you aren’t accepted as a human being, like trans people are treated and how Jewish people were treated then.
incorrect green and brown are their favorite color but yeah cavetown IS trans so you might have something right
I love this but honestly Is a little far fetched.
Idk why this makes me sad
How the fuck does any of this make him trans LMAAOO!
Ver 1 reminds me of a horror book I have,
It's called "Hide And Seeker" by Daka Hermon
“Mom and daddy aren’t in love” they way they sung it so calming but so true
I just listen to this repeatedly, it's so amazing
Listening to the three versions in a row you realise how unique and well thought out each one is. I wouldn't of realised if it weren't for this :)
Thankyou:)
I see this series of songs as either 3 siblings who ran away from an unhappy name. They have a code sentence "I forgot my name again, I think that's something worth remembering." That means cops are coming. They live in a small part of the woods with a bunch of other runaways. The first version is the youngest, second the middle, third the oldest.
It can also be seen as one kid growing older and more used to his parent's bickering. The first version anger, the second grief, the third acceptance. He is an only child so he has no one to talk to, and he doesn't have many friends, but his friend group has a made-up world called "Devil Town." They all play characters, and sometimes they forget their names, their real names, that is. As he grows older he grows more attached to Devil Town, but then a tragedy separates the friend group. The Third version is him thinking back to old times, he is older, more grown-up, but he still thinks about how his parents were always fighting, and about his friends. It's a story without a happy ending.
This is my favorite comment on this video❤😄
Blasting this in your headphones at full volume just hits different at night
To everyone who is doing homework, leave the chat, breathe slowly, take a sip of water, and focus
To everyone who is trying to sleep, leave the chat, grab a blanket, and get the rest you deserve.
To everyone who is feeling sad, grab a snack, get some water, get a blanket, and write down your thoughts. When you're done, lay down, and get some rest, no matter the time.
To everyone who is creating, you got this.
Your art is amazing. Remain in your flow and get stuff done!
If you're reading, relax, Focus, and imagine the beautiful scenes in your head.
And if you're playing games like me, Focus on your game and don't give up :D
@@sukerivivid Np!
now this is the kind of confidence i need🤣
This underrated af
Me with major disforyia and needing this song.
Yt: releases it years later, when life's worse.
Me:thanks yt, ur a few years late but its cool -_-
Listen to there song dysphoria
Ah yes my three favorite songs Devil town, Devil town, and Devil town
i feel as if each songs are stages of a child's trauma. the first is angry at the world for what has been done to them. the second is the child slipping away from its anger but still holding it close reaching a stage of hopelessness in its life looking for something else to do, and the last is the child finally ending in depression, they've lost their will well and truly and are probably close to ending it all...
hands down the most powerful "This is my voice X months on T" update.
V3 starts and that middle child syndrome kicks in hard, honestly though all 3 versions are so good
It just kept getting better
Yeah!
I love the songs so much.
And I love the background. It gives me such nostalgia..
I think it's so amazing to hear the differences in the singer's voice because of testosterone it's amazing to hear the progression of the before, halfway through, and end. I myself as a genderqueer person want to sound like that. I also just love this song because it just makes me feel relaxed and accepted.
Every version is beautiful in its own way, I love how they’re the same song but each one has its own different vibe. Just goes to show how it’s impossible to have a bad Cavetown song.😊
I like this song
Me to :3
1ST ONE IS THE BEST VERSION CANT CHANGE MY MIND
YES
YA
Fucking agreed
Fr but v2 hits SO HARDDDDDDDD
I'ma leave this comment here so every time it gets liked I'll be reminded of this beautiful song.
I'm leaving this here so I can easily find it again
I'm going to be listening to this way too nuch
very good, sounds great but there are a couple little things with the audio if you're listening pretty closely, but it's good none the less, so thank you,
This deserves so many more likes 👍
i love hearing the difference between all three
I’m venting while listening to this it’s nice
I love this. This deserves more. Its literally pure gold.
since cavetown is trans I view this as
V1- before being trans
V2- transitioning
V3- fully transitioned
Finally a good one that isnt siblings
Omg I love this!
You could have just said before transitioning, “before being trans” isn’t really a thing
@@lobotomyexperiment maybe they meant before knowing
@@bigjoewenis1501I sure hope so!
Gonna leave this here
This is my comfort song , it makes me feel understood , I love it , all 3 versions
Y’all guys ever noticed v3 or basically the middle kid is almost always friends with either only kids or youngest so they’re friends can be they’re kind of sun while they’re the moon while v1 the youngest is trying to be friends with everyone so they can say everything is ok while v2 the oldest isn’t trying to be anybody’s friend so they won’t be a burden
I just love how I can picture the ending of each one how it is just beautiful how the instrumental in the back are each different just hit deep and deeper with lyrics at the end are slightly different
just made two new characters based of these songs and I love them thank you so much
“Mines white and stripey, yours is green and brown.” Is a reference to ww2, Holocaust in particular.
“I forgot my name again.” After some time, Jewish began to forget their names because all they were referred to was their numbers on their work clothes.
That’s what I interpreted at least.
That's a really good interpretation.
doubt it
@@oatmeal7142 Still, it's very creative.
@@tylermoodley7696 thank you! I love learning about that event, it’s such a depressingly interesting topic.
@@Bambiluvr Same. It was horrific with the experiments and genocide and whatnot. But we shouldn't push something like that under the carpet.
Any percy jackson fans really want to make an animatic of this with nico di Angelo? It would fit so darn well, I might do it
I hope you do! :3
yes!!!!!!!
Pls do this
Half-bloods are everywhere, just gotta scroll long enough lol
(Ik im late to this comment lol) you definitely should! (If you haven’t already)
I like how we can hear his voice getting deeper and deeper every song. :)
I will say how much I can relate to which song at what age
V1. 10 years old finally realizing the abusive ways of my parent and being aware but not knowing what to do with the information
V2. 11 years old knowing the information and wanting the abuse to stop completely but knowing it’s not gonna oh and being suicidal and constantly arguing with that parent and doing SH
V3. 12 years old to now , Finally left the parent and is currently recovering and is considering death everyday but somehow not doing it because I know I have much to live for still.
:]
You are so young, and have so much to live for. If you ever need to talk to someone, don't hesitate to message me:)
I can also relate to these songs very personally from different ages.
V1: the angry youngest sister
V2: worried/sad middle brother
V3: protective and reassuring oldest brother
I loose my mind at least another thousand times...
V1 is the youngest kid that is upset about the yelling and everything. V2 is the oldest forced to grow up too soon, which has to take care of everyone. V3 is the middle kid that is numb and doesn't know what to do anymore
This feels a bit more like a single child dealing with bad homelife after coming out and they get angry and sad until when their transition is finished and they're leaving, and v3 is them sitting alone, singing to themself, enjoying their new male voice and the quiet without the yelling of their old home. And it's them coming to peace, and well, how else would you enjoy your new voice than singing a tune to yourself?
I love the lyrics differences between the songs
Ok I'm kinda scared, I was watching this in my tv and bright colours started flashing, I don't like them so I turned it off and watching it in my phone, there aren't any lights? I'm confused
Hmm. Tv broki? Not sure what that was to be honest :l
Oh heck! Sorry IG Moreno! I think i deleted your comment insted of mines :0 Sorry! And yes... it probably was a glitch but i do still beloeve tjat this were aliens trying to comunicade with you!
it happened to me too with other vids sometimes, it's cause of the little pixels that make the entire image on the tv /sry for bad english)
@@sukerivivid haha! It would be pretty cool! Maybe they like cavetowns music too!
Dude the line “I forgot my name again, that’s probably something worth remembering” hits home especially since I have d.i.d and I can’t remember for the life of me :)
V1 is the younger sibling
V2 is the middle child who was forced to grow up
V3 is the oldest who doesn't care at this point and has given up on life.
I use to be like V1 but now I relate to V2 and V3 the most. Probably why it makes me feel down, yet I still listen to this song, especially V2 and V3.
God just can’t pick a favorite and wish all three versions were more readily available in streaming platforms
This doesn't really fit that well but I kinda see it as a friendship growing within a small group of friends (maybe about 3)
v1 is getting to know each other and having good times together, but despite knowing each other they don't necessarily know a lot about the other's lives at this point
v2 is that somewhat awkward and slowed phase where everyone opens up about their struggles and lives. They all kinda have an "oh shit that's right they have deep and complicated lives too" moment. And trying to hide as much as they can without closing off
v3 is after where they end up closer and know each other. There's more of a trust/ bond between them and they help each other grow, go through struggles, and find hope in the world. kinda like a "yeah life's still shitty, but hey, we got each other" sort of thing

V2 lyrics
Life's alright in devil town
Yeah right, no one's gonna catch us now
Daddy's bought a new car now
We're fine, no one's gonna catch us now
We're all dead in devil town
That's fine, cause nothing's gonna scare us now
We're all in our dressing gowns
Mines white and stripy yours is green and brown
I forgot my name again
I think that's something worth remembering
Spiders in your favourite shoes
Just leave them because they're more scared of you
Devil town is colder in the summer time
I'll lose my mind at least another thousand times
Hold my hand tight
We'll make it another night
I still get a little scared of something new
But I feel a little safer when I'm with you
Falling doesn't feel so bad
When I know you've fallen this way too
Life's a treat in devil town
My ears have acclimated to the sound
Pretty faces fly around and around
My head as it contemplates this town I've found
It's lovely in the evening time
But every time I close my eyes
The sunshine gets a little dimmer now
The clouds fall down
I sink my teeth into my fingers
Blossom swims across the river
How
Do you feel so proud
Every time I close my eyes
The colours fade and change inside
My mouth
It's all too loud
I sink my teeth into my fingers
Blood forms branches in the water
It's lovely in the evening time
But every time I close my eyes
The sunshine gets a little dimmer now
The clouds fall down
I sink my teeth into my fingers
Blossom swims across the river
How
You feel so proud
Every time I close my eyes
The colours fade and change inside
My mouth
It's all too loud
I sink my teeth into my fingers
Blood forms branches in the water
Devil town is colder in the summer time
I'll lose my mind at least another thousand times
Hold my hand tight
We'll make it another night
I still get a little scared of something new
But I feel a little safer when I'm with you
Falling doesn't feel so bad
When I know you've fallen this way too
It's 1 AM, I get up for work at 3 AM. I just woke up from a dream of a million flashes of me living my childhood again with these three songs playing in the background of the dream. I'm a young adult now (20). I woke up with tears in my eye's.
So uhhh the three versions of this song actually inspired an oc story of mine. I keep being reminded of it but I never really finished it. I might now.
If you wanna learn about them here ya go:
Basically it’s three siblings that live in a small town in the south. Similar to gravity falls this town has paranormal happenings that go on every Halloween. Every Halloween a portal opens to a monster realm and the monsters go around the town and take the candy offerings they set out but always leave by dawn. One Halloween the three siblings are sleeping in the basement on Halloween like very year but when they wake their parents are no where to be found. They go up the stairs and look around to find them but out the window they can see red light trickling through, show the blood moon is still out alongside all the monsters. They look at the time but it’s 8:00 AM, it should be morning. The rest of the story is them try to survive during this monster apocalypse while trying to stop it, growing closer than they’d ever been in the process (none of them have a good relationship with each other and it became strained even more as their parents fought more). Anyway there’s my rant for the day lol. Thanks for reading!
v1 you young and happy
v2 you star realizing your life is trash
v3 you give up
True
had a really shit day and this made me feel even more mad but in a better way you know?
\
I think i can guess what ya mean :l
Hope your week got better! Stay safe
Is anyone else listening at 2 am and ur crying to Cavetown as quietly as possible as to not wake up ur roommate? Yeah me neither pfttttt
All of these are amazing. Literally not even a single part do i not like about the song. My favorite one is definitely v3, since its very soft and calm. Cavetown is an amazing artist! :D
My story line:
V1
Your an edgy teen going through a divorce between your parents. You don’t really care that much as you just drown out your own feelings in songs you make.
V2
You’ve pretended you didn’t care but your feelings caught up to you and you take your own life. As a spirit stuck on Earth, your content, happy to let things go but one part of you still feels bitter and sad about past experiences and your still trying to cope with them. Some how, you stumble across your old song lyrics and remember your love for writing music and make another song based off of your old favorite song.
V3
Your much older, letting go of your feeling completely and feeling as if your free for the first time in years. The memories come rushing back to you, all the happy and sad moments mixing together leaving you not knowing how to feel. You rewrite your song, now named ‘Devil Town’, for the final time as you leave the lyrics behind, feeling the Earth let go of your spirit and allowing it to move on to your new life, either in the underworld or reborn as another person…
At least, that’s what’s supposed to happen, right?
Watch someone grow up? Nah. Hear them grow up. (His voice gets deeper and the song gets sadder)
