Here's an interpretation, it's metaphorical. They're actually the same person, but different sides. The kidnapper has a mouth and thus features that are literally "more real" then the husband who's all claymation reflecting his "inner realness" he's keeping in the back of his head. He's outside of his house looking in, reflecting how he can't turn away from the place he considers his prison, his house. The pictures in the kidnapper's room are the same, using video footage of eyes and mouths, reassuring him. The husband wasn't kidnapped, he was "kidnapped" by his other side and had a life crises and disappeared on his own. His darker side takes over, seeing his real self as a mask, now damaged and slipping. His wife would not have embraced him otherwise realistically. The lyrics speak of a man who's peaked on anxiety and has had enough. The anxiety breaks his sanity, but his wife doesn't see that. She sees her husband and is glad he's home. Or you know, you could take it literally. Art and such.
I like your interpretation and I agree with it. But I also want to add on It seems like this guy felt alone. Despite having a significant other. This is because, like you said, he is not embracing himself. Rather the image of what society says he is supposed to be. Represented by his formal and boring appearance. However, the other side of him is dressed up in black and having a much more rugged appearance. And I agree with the part of the house being a prison, but I believe it's more like his entire life has been a prison. Also I'd like to point out that the other side is always looking in, separated from his "normal" self until his normal side is tied up. I think that room represents his dark sides prison. Which is why the normal side was tied up because that was how the dark side felt. And then we have the scene where the normal side dies and is used as a mask by the dark side, representing that he has fully embraced what is happening to him but is only using the mask as a facade. I think the whole reason that dark side was created was due to the normal side like I previously stated. He said he wanted an audience to fall apart to which meant that he couldn't tell anybody about what he was feeling and he couldn't be himself towards anyone because of his "perfect" life. After the dark side is embraced he is excited to see his wife because he is free. This is also represented through the music becoming intense signaling that the dark side was free because during the entire time of the song except when the normal sides head was cut off, it was slow paced. Which was the literal song definition of normal. Normal side caused the dark side to form and also made his anxiety which he couldn't tell to anyone, thus why the dark side "stalked" him and killed the normal side to replace him because now he could do or be whatever he wanted and finally felt free at the cost of his own sanity. Also I have no idea what to say about the missing part. Or like op said you could take it literally. This is just my interpretation added onto op's
Honestly I see it as a man that has been faking and hiding his true self all his life, and although he has a wife, a job and a relatively happy life, his mind is constantly plagued by the thoughts of the real him, unable to escape. So after having a mental breakdown (and running into the woods i guess) he "kills" this façade he has constructed and after putting on the mask of his former self to maybe represent him effectively becoming his true self, he comes back to his life. Thankfully his wife accepts him, and by the looks of both photos (at the start and end of the video) you can see that they've grown closer together after he showed who he truly is. or maybe its about a guy that stalked and killed another guy to take his identity idfk lmao. either way its fun to overanalyze songs
1:57 the climax of the song, the visible struggle before becoming motionless, the visible distraught on his face as his bloodied head is being used as a mask to get with his wife.. just- perfectly captured and disturbing. well done
This is probably my favorite song from this album. The feeling of anger from this maniac like creature and insanity is put in such a great composition through music. And when the tempo drops, you can really feel it.
This got me legitimately terrified because I don't usually watch horror stuff but this is genuinely amazing animation style and song with the horror theme of course
AMAZING oh my gosh i LOVED this dude your singing was PERFECT the way the blue person was singing to suit guy all slow and intimate like and then the beat rachets up like a panicking heartbeat oh man you killed it
So is there backstory you had in mind here? Did he know her before becoming different in appearance (like an accident, "won't remember"). Is he a crazy person that just /thinks/ he knows her? Is it supposed to make sense like this or am I overanalyzing? also I just can't stop rewatching bc the absurdity of her not realizing its a decaying chopped off head of her husband is just perfect dark humor and definitely disturbing.
I’m pretty sure he knew her and became obsessed with her but as she got a husband, he started loosing it and thought about taking him out. When at 1:43 he says « I won’t be in my head anymore » it refers to the imaginary relationship he had with her, while also referring that he’s gonna be in the husband’s head. Total genius from Andy.
I don't know what you've done here. This isn't an exaggeration, but I quite literally think this is the best breakdown of a song I've heard. I'm not sure how you've captured my heart in this way to be quite frank with you. Favorite track by far (and that's not to put the others to shame, either, I just love this one). Friend showed me your channel today while talking in discord. Only mad he didn't show me sooner.
i come back to this song sometimes, it’s been a few months and I still have no Idea wtf is going on. But the lighting and random eye movements are so sick i love it
omg i discovered you yesterday through a facebook group and now i’m binging your stuff!! this is great!! you deserve more recognition, you’ve made a fan out of me 💓
Hey that really means a lot, really happy you like everything :) been working crazy hard on a ton of new material like a new animation coming on saturday, hope ya like it! If you wanna help us grow this thing please feel free to show your friends, that really goes a long way. Take care
1:59 to the end just reminds me a specific song I loved growing up but unfortunately I forgot the name but this songs is amazing keep it up pleasantries
This and drink to me are my favorite songs and i need MORE!!! Something about them just hits so good the vocals, beat, everything just ties together so well
Ooh, I love this! The last scene was very disturbing. Gives me Jack Stauber vibes a little (as you were aiming for) and slightly reminds me of Dayglow.
I see this song as a mental battle now. The loving thoughts of this man are now being worn around by a twisted fragment of his mind, and she doesnt notice the difference.
OK so I have a theory that the guy murdered here becomes the Grey guy who can spit and grow those tenticals that killed Demoninc. And in tern helped the demon get free from his situation
im glad we all see this as the 'normal' man is a mask he is wearing, but he cant bare it anymore and has to let his true self out and sm that takes drastic measures
Revisiting this and truly listening to the lyrics 0:47 “I can’t panic alone anymore. It starts feeling silly. I need an audience to fall apart for.” “You’re not alone anymore.” Really brings us into perspective of this man. As well, “I won’t be in my head.” He just doesn’t want to be alone. He wants someone to love him, so he compromises by stealing the identity of someone in the only way he knows how to: by murdering a loving husband and using the skin of his mutilated head as a disguise.

How tf did I just stumble on this absolute gem while looking for a different song called honey I’m home. What a fucking masterpiece!
Both songs are really good
Let me guess, ghost and pals?
A PETTY LINE OF WHITE NOISE

From 1:50 onwards this song rocks the hardest, I would pay good money for a song based solely on that part.
me too
I can not agree more. Pleasantries if you’re reading this I would love an extended version!
I love that when the wife appears the melody comes back
1:12"the voices" are in my head for a while after hearing this, i dont know if they will be leaving _A N Y M O R E_
I've rewatched this like 5 times in a row! You did a great job!
wow thanks soooo much glad you like it :)))
rookie ;)
I CANT STOP WACTHING IT FDSMAJSJEHJDKEKOS🎉🎉
You are going to become very popular, and I will be left with the frustration yet satisfaction of seeing this before anyone. Congrats
This got me legitimately terrified because I don't usually watch horror stuff but this is genuinely amazing animation style and song with the horror theme of course

VRAAAHHHH I’M STILL ADDICTED TO THIS SONG SO BAAAAAAAD, i need this to blow up eventually or I will blow up.
Real
What the shit is TH-cam recommending for me and why is it actually a really good song that probably becomes terrifying when you listen to the lyrics?
I love the transition of when he says “I need an, audience”
What happens when the head rots?
It stinks, the hair starts to fall out, mostly the stink though
He’s done for
He finds another
This is just amazing. Cliche, but I can say "I was here from the beginning"
Dude. This is genuinely beautiful!!! I love the animation, the music, and just everything about it! Please keep up the great work!!!
thanks so much i will :)

This kinda reminds me of 1984 don’t know if that helps u

found ya through the stauber reddit, this is some good stuff
If I see this in real life, I think I will literally die on the spot.
I love the music. I get like a grizzly bear vibe. And the animation fits so well
Nowhere near as popular as this deserves to be!
This my favourite one and you deserve a medal
The ending I-
Ooh, I love this! The last scene was very disturbing. Gives me Jack Stauber vibes a little (as you were aiming for) and slightly reminds me of Dayglow.
This one is absolutely amazing, holy shit.
I am shaking and sweating because of how good this is🤗
This scared the shit outta me 3 years ago
Totally my most fav one out of all you video, good Job mate
This is so unbelievably fucking good and I’m so glad to find this channel.
ay im really glad too thanks for the kind words! also we have the same initials and first name so it's probably destiny tbh
relatable
Ikr
I’m gonna say it! The cinematography is better than most main stream movies now tbh
Holy shit this is specifically my kind of content. I love everything you make
TOOK ME A HOT MINUTE TO REMEMBER THIS MASTERPIECE
Well that escalated quickly! Seriously though, that was scary good
you're not aloooooooooooooone
Pate Paze
this gives me absolute chills
Wow I came here from Tik Tok, all I can say is these videos are awesome. You’re super underrated and this is all really well done. Great job!
Watching this after having a panic attack is
I don’t know comforting? That literally makes no sense but it is and I love it
I've watched this video like 20 times its too good
Oh my god this is genuinely one of the coolest things I've found on TH-cam. Seen it at least 10 times right away
Holy shit, this is so good! Keep up the good work man
Whoa that got really weird really fast! Love the claymation how long did that take to shoot? Awesome concept!
thanks!! was still getting a hang of it when shooting this, took about four months in total.
@@Pleasantries Quarantine time well spent!! Bravo!
oh my god it's great wtf
thank you!!!!!
I see this song as a mental battle now. The loving thoughts of this man are now being worn around by a twisted fragment of his mind, and she doesnt notice the difference.
bro your music is sooooo good, and disturbing in the coolest ways.
I love what you did 1:15
this song hits really hard, i like it
ive been watching a bunch of your videos, i love the stuff you make
OK so I have a theory that the guy murdered here becomes the Grey guy who can spit and grow those tenticals that killed Demoninc. And in tern helped the demon get free from his situation
Pleasantries never disappoint! will play this for my friends when everything is melting

This song and music video are amazing I love it.
Damn thats what I call a faceswap
Jokes on him he now has to work a 9 to 5 deskjob
I can't wait for you to achieve immense recognition. Man, all your songs are just too amazing. I get excited whenever something new comes out.
This is awesome
Amazing video! I look forward to more.
im glad we all see this as
the 'normal' man is a mask he is wearing, but he cant bare it anymore and has to let his true self out
and sm that takes drastic measures
Really love everything about the music and animation, gj !
my friend said Pleasantries claymation style is very easy to tell its his, i can agree.
Revisiting this and truly listening to the lyrics
0:47
“I can’t panic alone anymore. It starts feeling silly. I need an audience to fall apart for.”
“You’re not alone anymore.”

CRIMINALLY underrated compared to some of your other work
OH SHIT THIS MAY BE A BOP
THIS IS SO COOL
This is really good! Really dark but really good
your content is just amazing, so much of it is just nightmare fuel, honestly you're the new jack strauber, just less confusing
Is no one talking about how CREATIVE this is? The way the man’s face is kind of deformed at the eyes is so creepy, but it’s awesome! Great job! :)

Wow GREAT!!
forgot how good this video and song is!!!
