He's saying that the worst thing he can imagine going through is being stuck on his parents' couch because of failure or the inability to get himself working again
I’ve heard it a hundred times; this poem led me to love Watsky’s music, through that I found Wax. Hell, I never would have never enjoyed hip-hop and rap focused music if it wasn’t for this poem. I’ve listened to it over a hundred times and tonight, I wasn’t looking for it specifically, but I needed to hear it. I really needed encouragement, I’m gonna be fine. I love you all, you’re not alone and “you’ll be fine.” Thanks Watsky, I’ll see you in Boulder.
I come here at least 6-7 times a year for the past 7 years I remember a friend showed me this video when I was down once last thing I thought was it’d help me through all the heartache and mental issues I’ve had to induce through the course of life. All I want to say is thank you, you been there a lot and thanks. Love you my dude!
I did this poem for my English exam and got an A*. This man has always had a way with words I’d love to be in his head for a minute, what an intellectual
I've been listening to this for years and all of a sudden this has become more relevant than ever. After being laid off i have taken this to heart. I'm gonna be fine.
O MY EPIE BROTHER OF THE UNIVERSE..I WISH I COULD KNOW U HAD ANY IDEA HOW OFTEN THIS SPECIFIC PIECE HAS BEEN THE AID I'VE USED FOR MY MOTIVATION TO BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING, AND TO REMIND MYSELF IT'S GONNA BE FINE... INSPITE OF THE OUTCOME!!!! I HEART U SO FREAKING MUCHO BIG TIME BUD!!!!
me: "oh wow a neato looking Watsky directed toward himself when he was around my age. this should be fulfilling!" George: "sup BITCH!" me: "..... aw yiiiiiiis"
He's speaking to his younger self, before he lived through and survived whatever demons plagued him over the years. He's speaking from experience. Think we can all relate to that in some way.
I haven’t heard this since middle school. But I’m having a fucking breakdown today. And this was the only thing I could think of to make myself feel better. Thank you Watsky.
OK, I may be an old man compared to you but I love all of your rap and most of your spoken word stuff too. This though...well it has come in a tough time of my personal life and I think I appreciate more than anything else you have done.
I don't know if there's a way to check to see how many comments on youtube were left by me. It's less than 10. This is worth commenting on. When you said "you know what's awesome?, world peace." and "you know what else is awesome? catapults." I suddenly understood everything. I actually think i might be at peace with the universe now. None of this is meant facetiously or sarcastically. Thank you.
I am doing an essay for school on my mentor and chose watsky. This song is one of my sources and after listening to this again and realizing how much pain I'm in, I started crying.
Your shit was fucking awesome I'm a novice writer... Here's a poem I wrote... COINCIDENCE Is it uh miracle or uh coincidence That I exist in this existence I'm innocent What's your significance I hear in the distance Oh Lucifer with your stringed instruments Lookin powerless with your impotance I'm the one that's omnipotent Did you affect me with your omniscientness Unconsciousness common sense Like peanut butter dipped in chocolate That's Heaven sent Magnificent Annihilating the melody Feel the rage of my symphony Enter your heart of jealousy Mind zodiac imagery Instruction or philosophy Constantly prophesying my sovereignty Theoretical angelical comedy Spiritual technology Reflection of ideology DNA genealogy Calculus and trigonometry Mathematical equality Devine eschatology Crucifying scientology

I’m 30 and I come back to this at least once a year because I need to hear every word of it to keep my grounded and stop myself from getting bitter.
"I don't believe in Hell, but I believe in my parent's couch"
Holy Hell.
Watsky is such a genius. Check out his music and poetry, you won't regret it.
JPTuns Been there, done that. Have all his CDs and his book.
*holy parent's couch

"You're going to be fine. You're going to be fine."

Watsky makes writing Spoken Word HARD because he is so damn GOOD!
for years i have been coming back and watching this video whenever im having a hard time. it always helps. thank you
I did this poem for my English exam and got an A*. This man has always had a way with words I’d love to be in his head for a minute, what an intellectual
I was 24 when i first heard this poem...at 32 it still holds SO much weight...we are gonna be fine. Thanks Watsky

did anyone else notice him slowly creeping closer to the camera throughout the video?
hoLY SHIT
I saw this towards the end of the video and I was like “what? N-“ *looks up* “oh fuck, hey watsky. Uh yeah you’re closer”
the fact he mentioned boy meets world is my favorite part
At the end... he looked like he was going to cry. Omg.
not sure you know how important this video is man
me: "oh wow a neato looking Watsky directed toward himself when he was around my age. this should be fulfilling!"
George: "sup BITCH!"
me: "..... aw yiiiiiiis"
"You're going to be fine! ….. you're going to be fine."
This poem has kept me alive.
why do i feel like he is saying all this to me
because we have some stuff to change
He's speaking to his younger self, before he lived through and survived whatever demons plagued him over the years. He's speaking from experience.
Think we can all relate to that in some way.
You know what else is awesome...(pause for dramatic effect)... catapults
Hoodie PUNK Seriously, I love this poem so much. It doesn't deserve to be on private.
Hoodie PUNK Trebuchets are beter though
I come back to this approximately twice a year
I haven’t heard this since middle school. But I’m having a fucking breakdown today. And this was the only thing I could think of to make myself feel better. Thank you Watsky.
I'm glad I find such good humans to be my role models
OK, I may be an old man compared to you but I love all of your rap and most of your spoken word stuff too. This though...well it has come in a tough time of my personal life and I think I appreciate more than anything else you have done.
I always seem to naturally sigh with him at the end
I don't know if there's a way to check to see how many comments on youtube were left by me.
It's less than 10.

I watched this in my room at full volume and within the first 10 seconds my mom Burts into my room and told me to stop cursing.
"YOU MAGICAL BASTARD"
I don't know why but I started tearing up at "your gonna be fine"z
i needed this
HELL BELIEVES IN YOU!!!!!
boy meets world... I can relate so much.
I'm gonna go back to this video when im 16
Watching this before taking my finals today 😩👏😂
i just turned 17 today
Why the fuck is this not viral
To start off, unfortenlay the original video is non-listed.
Only reason I’m fine rn 💜 thank you.
I feel like I'm most of these views 😂
Gold

Why thank you.
George, please speak out on suicide.
💔

It doesn't matter if you've got the biggest mouth / you can't just chew the world up and spit it out.
Your shit was fucking awesome I'm a novice writer...
Here's a poem I wrote...
COINCIDENCE
Is it uh miracle or uh coincidence
That I exist in this existence
I'm innocent
What's your significance
I hear in the distance
Oh Lucifer with your stringed instruments
Lookin powerless with your impotance
I'm the one that's omnipotent
Did you affect me with your omniscientness
Unconsciousness common sense
Like peanut butter dipped in chocolate
That's Heaven sent
Magnificent
Annihilating the melody
Feel the rage of my symphony
Enter your heart of jealousy
Mind zodiac imagery
Instruction or philosophy
Constantly prophesying my sovereignty
Theoretical angelical comedy
Spiritual technology
Reflection of ideology
DNA genealogy
Calculus and trigonometry
Mathematical equality
Devine eschatology
Crucifying scientology
He is genuinely bad at this whole poetry business.
Goose Langston bad ass you mean
