The best thing about this song, it doesnt matter if its PTSD, Depression, Trauma, Domestic Abuse, Abuse in general, this song calls all of these out to a fist fight. This song I feel encompasses all those things, so many people can relate to this song and feel it to their core due to experiencing one of multiple of those things. This song is dope.
That’s the good thing abt Slipknot, you can feel all sorts of relatable emotions in their music they’re honestly so great I love them more than life itself like people=shit but Slipknot=happiness (for me at least)
Also i believe this song was dedicated to Corey's ex-wife. In the bridge you can hear the backing vocals sing one word at a time which if i'm correct translates to "why did i not see your true face".
(Why) why was it easy for you? (Did) did I deserve the abuse? (I) I can't believe I let it (Not) not what I wanted (See) see through your bullshit (Your) you're so dramatic (True) true to your form of (Face) every consequence (Un-) unintimidated (-Til) 'til the very end (It) it'll never happen (Was) was it all a lie? (Too) many motherfuckers (Late) that's what you do best (Lie) that's what you do best (Lie) that's what you do best That's what you do best
Listening to Slipknot helps me reign myself in. All the chaos, anxiety, depression in my head that makes me wanna scream, goes quiet. Everything I'm thinking about and feeling are in the lyrics of most of Slipknot's songs and listening to the rage in Cory's voice, helps me channel my own rage to do something constructive and positive.
I find it very uplifting how a few short months ago you were terrified by the initial encounter of Slipknot and now you’re dancing, fist pumping and just plain old rocking out🤘🏻🔥💥🙏🏻💯 Love your insight into heavy metal music and mental health. Happy Valentines Day 💝💘💌
Agreed. Thats one of the main reasons I watch metal reaction channels; seeing people discover the depth, power, energy and happiness in something that they used to fear and misunderstand. Such an awesome epic journey
This is one of Slipknot's best songs. Lots of anger, yet it keeps it melodic core. A real toe-tapper You can feel the anger through Corey Taylor's vocals. We Are Not Your Kind is a great album.
One thing no one has mentioned is that that bridge has a hidden message in the first words of each line. "Why did I not see your true face until it was too late."
your body movements listening to this track mimic how I feel and move when I first heard this song. It is so refreshing to see someone move to the music in a similar way.
I've been watching a lot of your videos. It has really helped me because I grew up with slipknot and I've had major depression my entire life. Listening to you brings comfort. I've lost all my parents in the last 4 years, so I'm kind of by myself. I am in the midst of doing a major home renovation which is taking way too long to complete. It's almost done, but, it has been like 5 months in the making. The depression from my mom passing and this house still being in psuedo shambles is making me mad. I keep watching every day you release a new video, So keep it up, please.
Just found your channel. Love how you break down the broken. These songs are based on pain and you explain. Plus its awesome that you like the music even though you look like you would never enjoy a band like Slipknot. Well done.
Wow! This song is soo powerful, and life-affirming. I actually hadn't heard it before, and it might just be my new favorite by Slipknot. I also wasn’t expecting this new sound. Love that!
A lot of people are close in the comments but not quite there. This song was about his abusive mother(A home likes yours is upside down) and the title is related to the Nero Claudius Caesar who was a Roman emperor that ordered his own mother killed.
Ok Ms. Therapist. You are a ROCK STAR at heart as we see!!! Thank you so much for making these videos! These are so important for so many reasons and so many people. I love when those that can help, help with zero expectations of financial gain ONLY sending someone a message that will hopefully CLICKS something inside them which tells them YOU CAN BE OK!!!! However what you're putting out into the universe will give you and the US more than can be fathomed!!! Carry on your amazing work cuz I love watching and listening to your break down that comes with your amazing ROCK FACE!!!🤘🤘🤘THANK YOU!!!!! ❤🤘🤙🌶️⚡. GREG⭐
This song was about his past relationship.......how it was a mental strain on how he was treated. And now he freed because he is no longer in it. That weird blob in the video was him trying to break free from his internal struggle of feeling neglected, mistreated, and under appreciated. Great song
I’ve been waiting or you to do this song!!! For me this song talks about a time in my life where I’d been promised things for 10 years and it was never delivered on, then I was lied to and lied about and gaslit. By one person in particular. I was very depressed after and I remember thinking at the time that I’d wished I had listened to my wife who had made it clear that she wanted me out of that situation. A few months after she had told me that she was diagnosed with cancer and later died and my one regret in life is that I hadn’t listed to her and gotten out while she was still alive. #heartsupport
Love your reactions, so genuine and thought-provoking. If you do requests, please can you do Mushroomhead - solitaire/unraveling, that would be awesome!
This reminds me of my philosophy of how I deal with life… Improvise, Adapt and Overcome. Taught to me in my time in the service and it has served me well when dealing with depression.
Thank you for your music reviews ❤ you have helped me understand things about myself and helped me to improve my music therapy , writing playing and listening to music you literally saved me
I listen to slipknot everyday more now than what I use to. I have been off work since middle of December with depression. Since then I've been sent to counciling and had my antidepressants boosted and I still don't see a change for the better
From NateTriesAgain: @hazblue1429 Haaaaaard relate, friend. Thank you for sharing. This is real, and difficult, and edging on despairing. I see you, and I recorded a ~4m video reply you can watch here. I hope it encourages you: www.loom.com/share/14e00c320b294d2083bf0c08e1528dc8
Hey there from the uk just subbed loving your slipknot reaction vids there awesome I'm a stroke survivor have PTSD love your videos make me laugh awesome ❤️
This album and song was the saving of me after getting out of a bad abusive relationship. I'd walk with ot blaring knowing i might see him and just screaming the lyrics in my mind.
Your are the only one that can get away with dancing like that too Slipknot. What I really Love, Enjoy and jealous of, is that the Music, the Lyrics, Corey's voice takes you to a level that, I think no one has ever gone. Especially when lessening once. You are Amazing. You are the best person and should be the only person to react to music. You Are Important, in Life.
Another song you should definitely check out is Metabolic by Slipknot off of there 2nd album Iowa, if I’m correct it’s about his father abandoning him at a young age
Thank you for reacting to this song. It is one of my favorites both for its message and for the musical difference of the song. Great reaction thanks very much 😊😊😊
I came across your channel for the first time tonight! I'm loving your thoughts on metal and all the bands you've reacted to. I've been telling people all my life that this music isn't just noise, its therapy for the soul. My recommendation is "Stone the Crow" by Down. Is Phil from Pantera's other band
I recently learned how to do that with my depression when I went through intensive outpatient treatment to quit drinking. They went over different tools everyday to help us cope with our emotions without using mind altering substances. Now, I draw out what’s in my mind.
This song for anyone wondering, is about Corey Taylor's battle with depression, Nero and forte are Italian words meaning black and strong, his whole album we are not your kind start to finish is the all trials and tribulations of his depression and the black hole effect it can have on you. Corey Taylor has always been my biggest role model, he's been judged harshly for the music he makes over the years but pushed through with a smile because of how much he loves his fans, hes been there for MANY fans showing up at hospitals and weddings and birthdays just because a fan asked politely. No news no live streaming just this man showing up to support the people who support him. I will always cherish Corey Taylor.
Corey's voice along with the Lyrics him and Shawn create mixed with the absolute savagery of Mick & Jim complimenting the riffs and the shred solos have helped me since i was a kid! you also cant argue with EITHER drummer. Joey will always be their best but i take nothing away from Jay Weinberg. Absolutely powerful stuff always!
I struggled for 4 years after abruptly being able to heal over night. World came crashing down and I realized I was super messed up. Glad I finally gave slip knot a chance last year. Hang in there everyone. Do and see as much good as you can if you’re fortunate enough to. I recommend some indoor fruit plants and/or flowers, even pothos, or whatever you find beautiful. Keep with the basics and stay away from the booze.
Ok you saying it was about him facing his depression makes so much sense why when I do my shroom therapy and this is one of the music videos I go to watch each time!!! ❤❤❤
There isn't a video for it but I think you'd have fun with Evans Blue- Painted and Pin-up. Always thought that they were and under-rated band, especially their earlier work. They aren't heavy metal, but if heavier is the direction you're looking for then journey over to Lamb of God and check out Blacken the cursed sun, Ghost shaped people and at the very least, Memento mori. This channel just popped up and while I normally roll on pass reaction videos, its been interesting hearing what you take away from songs and bands that for a lot of us, are the only things that keep us going.
"Rock and roll is my religion and my law". Quoted by Ozzy Osbourne, Diary of a madman. Keep learning with music. Metal is therapy for many people! Your reactions are awesome! True to meaning.
You are really cool Taylor. Your insights with some of my favorite music have given me alot to think about in a completely unexpected way in regards to my own mental health. I struggle with alot... and i never actually consciously considered how much music actually speaks to me in the ways with dealing with depression. btw, I freaking love slipknot. i will happily subscribe!
Got broken up with while I was going through a hard time financially, mentally, and etc. I was pretty much blamed for everything that happened. I tried everything I could to fix things and work through it, but it was never enough she had her mind made up. So I went through a long period of not receiving what I wanted/needed from the relationship until she eventually ended it. To skip all the details. I look back and realize how she would always say how she cared, but never did the things to show it. So this song really speaks to me because I was pointed out to be the problem in the end, but the reality was that she created issues throughout our entire relationship, and never did enough to make me feel loved and appreciated. It was always her self victimizing to avoid what she was doing to me, so that she didn't have to feel guilty about her own actions.
You are correct (of course, you're the therapist 😊) being able to externalise something like this is great therapy! I do that when I rock out to this song! It is exactly how I was feeling before I got the apartment I live in now!
First time seeing this channel so great. Slipknot/Corey have been my own therapy and self reflection have alot of repressed pain self esteem and such fro upbringing similar to Corey so to hear you speak about lyrics only validated the meanings, points of view very cool. And to see someone who genuinely likes this art form is refreshing af. How do i get a therapist like you imo people who like metal and see beauty in thiings that are niether happy or pretty are more empathetic, which is neede to be compassionate and of higher intelligence thank you for tour work just watched 10 videos loved all not uaually in the comments but felt i needed to show appreciation 🤘
This song has to be my favorite Slipknot song. Because the way I see it, He's talking to his abuser ( especially when he goes on the rant in the middle "why was it easy for you?") and berating him with "look what you've done to me. You did this. I hate you". I'd give anything to have that ability and courage.
Another cool thing about the bridge is that the rest of the band yells the first word of every sentence Corey says, and if you listen to only those words it says " Why did I not see your true face until it was too late. Lie. Lie" It's a cool little secondary message in the lyrics.
Well back then when I had a therapist before she took an administrative leave to deal with her Depression. She would give me weekly drawing assignments of each session we had. I remember the last assignment I got, I had to give my depression a form. I wound up referencing a lovecraft character (Nyarlathotep). Which in my was an omni present creature wanting to consume me. Like no matter where I go or what I do. It's there. I can feel its presence, I can hear it and I can smell.
Id like to hear you do "you know you're right" by Nirvana. The last studio recording the band preformed before Kurt's passing, its a bery interesting song and it's all the more chilling to hear is knowing what the man was going through
Based on your ending message, I'll share my story as perhaps it can help someone else understand more about themselves, or even I can find new ideas. Have been struggling with depression since I was 14-ish, been in and out of therapy since then. My depression comes in waves and I have to actively fight against it at certain points. I have externalized it for so long that I didn't see it as a part of myself anymore, but more as a destructive version of myself, always whispering in my ears the standard bullshit negativity: "You can't do it, you will fail this like you have done with everything else, why bother with this? why do anything? That person probably hates you" My last therapist actually made it worse as I never felt understood by him. When I dropped out of college in 2016, I felt like my world was crumbling and had my worst episode in my life. I was making plans to end my life, wrote a letter and all, prepared a bottle of my favorite whisky, gathered all my antidepressants and even made a time stamp on when I wanted to do it. Something in me made me call my old therapist that same evening, basically as a last resort, in my head I went: "Just don't pick up, that would make this easier". She did pick up and we spoke for some time, when I finally said: "I kinda was making plans to end my life this evening." And she thought that already when she picked up the phone. She got the idea out my head at least for the evening and got me in a psych ward the next day. EVERYBODY in my social life was shocked as nobody saw it coming. I have become very good at acting that I am fine after so many years of being depressed. After my family and friends visited me in the ward, I kinda made a promise to myself, that as long as there was still someone in my life that cared about me, I wouldn't leave this earth. Now we are.... 8 years further and that promise also gives me motivation to keep doing everything. I will tattoo all the names of that people that I care about that I will outlive in my life on my body as a reminder to myself of that promise. Metal music has been such a tremendous healing force in my life as it can express emotions that are hard to express with just words. My life song is: "Once more round the sun" from Mastodon and "vacuity" from Gojira Those bands have saved me from myself on multiple occasions without them ever knowing. Keep doing what you are doing, if it helps only one person, then you are already amazing.🤘 Also screw anyone who dislikes your dancing to these songs. Metal is for everyone and can be enjoyed in any way.
It just really aggravates me that you said in the solway firth reaction video that you love slipknot and youre very well educated on corey taylor so portraying that its your first time hearing each song isnt real.
From songfacts: We Are Not Your Kind was written while Corey Taylor was battling depression; here, he addresses the despair he was battling, which he felt was bleeding him dry.
I like your take and I expected nothing less however, this is what we call an F-U song usually directed at one specific target. In this case it is one of Corey's ex-wives. He has had more than a few over the years and is married yet again. I love the bridge and you can hear the backing vocals sending a specific message. "Why-Did-I-Not-See-Your-True-Face-Un-Til-It- Was-Too-Late?" The video is one of my favorites because they look like absolute rock stars in it but then the bridge hits and it takes me back to their first album days when the band would mosh each other on stage. Just one more way for them to remind you that no matter how big someone gets, we are all still just human beings.
I've been a maggot since mate feed kill repete been listening since 96 lol. I've never heard someone explain there music so perfectly keep it up your awsome
The bridge is some of the best lyrics out there. The first word of every sentence/line says "Why did I not see your true face until it was to late... lie lie... that's what you do best" That is brilliant. (Why) why was it easy for you? (Did) did I deserve the abuse? (I) I can't believe I let it (Not) not what I wanted (See) see through your bullshit (Your) you're so dramatic (True) true to your form of (Face) every consequence (Un-) unintimidated (-Til) 'til the very end (It) it'll never happen (Was) was it all a lie? (Too) many motherfuckers (Late) that's what you do best (Lie) that's what you do best (Lie) that's what you do best That's what you do best
I have no idea if this will help anyone with externalization but one thing that has really helped me is using ai art to create image of what im feeling so I can stare it in the face, and it helps me quite a bit. Cheers for the video and thank you!
To his ex wife and chris fehn this song was to 2 People 100%and of course the feeling of depression anxiety not knowing why those close People to you are the ones who act with mallice and narcissitic ways and behaviours towards in fact just hurt and gain advantages in life
seeing the slipknot journey has been great seeing your reactions :) also analysis. it would be awesome if you could check out some august burns red -composure. that one got me through a lot. keep up the amazing work. enjoy the metal adventure :P
The best thing about this song, it doesnt matter if its PTSD, Depression, Trauma, Domestic Abuse, Abuse in general, this song calls all of these out to a fist fight. This song I feel encompasses all those things, so many people can relate to this song and feel it to their core due to experiencing one of multiple of those things. This song is dope.
wanna fight ?
@Rogers_Ranger you breaking rules 1 and 2 bro
That’s the good thing abt Slipknot, you can feel all sorts of relatable emotions in their music they’re honestly so great I love them more than life itself like people=shit but Slipknot=happiness (for me at least)
Also i believe this song was dedicated to Corey's ex-wife. In the bridge you can hear the backing vocals sing one word at a time which if i'm correct translates to "why did i not see your true face".
Until it was too late. You were on track
(Why) why was it easy for you?
(Did) did I deserve the abuse?
(I) I can't believe I let it
(Not) not what I wanted
(See) see through your bullshit
(Your) you're so dramatic
(True) true to your form of
(Face) every consequence
(Un-) unintimidated
(-Til) 'til the very end
(It) it'll never happen
(Was) was it all a lie?
(Too) many motherfuckers
(Late) that's what you do best
(Lie) that's what you do best
(Lie) that's what you do best
That's what you do best
Thank you for beating me to it! 😁
Never realized this before. that's so cool
The vertical lyric is fucking genius
Depression makes sense, but I kind of always took it as the feeling of being manipulated by a narcissist
And coming to that realization
Satan is a narcissist.
Like his ex wife
oh thank you I was just about to write this but you beat me to it :)
Listening to Slipknot helps me reign myself in. All the chaos, anxiety, depression in my head that makes me wanna scream, goes quiet.

We Are Not Your Kind is a great album.
I took the song as dealing with narcissistic abuse, but I think it can work for many different scenarios.
One thing no one has mentioned is that that bridge has a hidden message in the first words of each line. "Why did I not see your true face until it was too late."

There isn't a music video for it, but you should definitely look into the song "Gently" by slipknot. Loving this reaction series!
Great breakdown of the meaning of this song! Appreciate your take on this
A personal favourite of mine, hope to see more of them! 🔥
This is my favorite off the album. Love your reactions
I’m literally addicted to watching your slipknot breakdowns! This band has spoken to me for so many years. Amazing work, thank you
Just found your channel. Love how you break down the broken. These songs are based on pain and you explain. Plus its awesome that you like the music even though you look like you would never enjoy a band like Slipknot. Well done.
I just found this channel looking up a song. This is just the best thing ever. 😎 👍👍👍
Wow! This song is soo powerful, and life-affirming. I actually hadn't heard it before, and it might just be my new favorite by Slipknot. I also wasn’t expecting this new sound. Love that!

A lot of people are close in the comments but not quite there. This song was about his abusive mother(A home likes yours is upside down) and the title is related to the Nero Claudius Caesar who was a Roman emperor that ordered his own mother killed.
Wow. Been listening this band since 2000's and understood so many songs better now thanks to you!
This is my absolute favorite from Slipknot. Glad you're enjoying!

"What if we flip the "that's what you do best"? The "Duality" of Slipknot is beautiful

I look back and realize how she would always say how she cared, but never did the things to show it. So this song really speaks to me because I was pointed out to be the problem in the end, but the reality was that she created issues throughout our entire relationship, and never did enough to make me feel loved and appreciated. It was always her self victimizing to avoid what she was doing to me, so that she didn't have to feel guilty about her own actions.
You are correct (of course, you're the therapist 😊) being able to externalise something like this is great therapy! I do that when I rock out to this song! It is exactly how I was feeling before I got the apartment I live in now!
First time seeing this channel so great. Slipknot/Corey have been my own therapy and self reflection have alot of repressed pain self esteem and such fro upbringing similar to Corey so to hear you speak about lyrics only validated the meanings, points of view very cool.
And to see someone who genuinely likes this art form is refreshing af. How do i get a therapist like you imo people who like metal and see beauty in thiings that are niether happy or pretty are more empathetic, which is neede to be compassionate and of higher intelligence thank you for tour work just watched 10 videos loved all not uaually in the comments but felt i needed to show appreciation 🤘
This song has to be my favorite Slipknot song. Because the way I see it, He's talking to his abuser ( especially when he goes on the rant in the middle "why was it easy for you?") and berating him with "look what you've done to me. You did this. I hate you". I'd give anything to have that ability and courage.
Another song that greatly describes mine and my mums relationship. So happy it’s done
Do "Not long for this world" next please
Need to react to Disasterpiece and Surfacing. Both are epic
I really like your videos and you are doing well on the explanation of the meaning of The Slipknot Songs❤🤗👍🏻
Another cool thing about the bridge is that the rest of the band yells the first word of every sentence Corey says, and if you listen to only those words it says " Why did I not see your true face until it was too late. Lie. Lie" It's a cool little secondary message in the lyrics.
This is one of their songs that helped me go thru my deppresion.
Well back then when I had a therapist before she took an administrative leave to deal with her Depression. She would give me weekly drawing assignments of each session we had. I remember the last assignment I got, I had to give my depression a form. I wound up referencing a lovecraft character (Nyarlathotep). Which in my was an omni present creature wanting to consume me. Like no matter where I go or what I do. It's there. I can feel its presence, I can hear it and I can smell.
Thats right! 👍❤❤❤❤ Ty for doing this! Just discovering this! Love this song.
You need to hear Spit it out or Eyeless they’re both very unique songs and I definitely recommend them
Nero forte was my first discovery and love on this album! 🖤🤘 soooo many good ones!
Love you took to slipknot! Fantastic and keep rocking on. Hit up korn!!!
Id like to hear you do "you know you're right" by Nirvana. The last studio recording the band preformed before Kurt's passing, its a bery interesting song and it's all the more chilling to hear is knowing what the man was going through
Based on your ending message, I'll share my story as perhaps it can help someone else understand more about themselves, or even I can find new ideas.
Have been struggling with depression since I was 14-ish, been in and out of therapy since then. My depression comes in waves and I have to actively fight against it at certain points.
I have externalized it for so long that I didn't see it as a part of myself anymore, but more as a destructive version of myself, always whispering in my ears the standard bullshit negativity:
"You can't do it, you will fail this like you have done with everything else, why bother with this? why do anything? That person probably hates you"
My last therapist actually made it worse as I never felt understood by him.
When I dropped out of college in 2016, I felt like my world was crumbling and had my worst episode in my life. I was making plans to end my life, wrote a letter and all, prepared a bottle of my favorite whisky, gathered all my antidepressants and even made a time stamp on when I wanted to do it.
Something in me made me call my old therapist that same evening, basically as a last resort, in my head I went: "Just don't pick up, that would make this easier". She did pick up and we spoke for some time, when I finally said: "I kinda was making plans to end my life this evening." And she thought that already when she picked up the phone.
She got the idea out my head at least for the evening and got me in a psych ward the next day.
EVERYBODY in my social life was shocked as nobody saw it coming. I have become very good at acting that I am fine after so many years of being depressed.
After my family and friends visited me in the ward, I kinda made a promise to myself, that as long as there was still someone in my life that cared about me, I wouldn't leave this earth.
Now we are.... 8 years further and that promise also gives me motivation to keep doing everything. I will tattoo all the names of that people that I care about that I will outlive in my life on my body as a reminder to myself of that promise.
Metal music has been such a tremendous healing force in my life as it can express emotions that are hard to express with just words.
My life song is: "Once more round the sun" from Mastodon and "vacuity" from Gojira
Those bands have saved me from myself on multiple occasions without them ever knowing.
Keep doing what you are doing, if it helps only one person, then you are already amazing.🤘
Also screw anyone who dislikes your dancing to these songs. Metal is for everyone and can be enjoyed in any way.
It just really aggravates me that you said in the solway firth reaction video that you love slipknot and youre very well educated on corey taylor so portraying that its your first time hearing each song isnt real.
I have a new favorite reactor!! You’re awesome kiddo
This is a banger
A total banger! My favorite Slipknot song.
From songfacts: We Are Not Your Kind was written while Corey Taylor was battling depression; here, he addresses the despair he was battling, which he felt was bleeding him dry.
well shit.... this might have just become my new favorite channel
I like your take and I expected nothing less however, this is what we call an F-U song usually directed at one specific target. In this case it is one of Corey's ex-wives. He has had more than a few over the years and is married yet again. I love the bridge and you can hear the backing vocals sending a specific message. "Why-Did-I-Not-See-Your-True-Face-Un-Til-It- Was-Too-Late?" The video is one of my favorites because they look like absolute rock stars in it but then the bridge hits and it takes me back to their first album days when the band would mosh each other on stage. Just one more way for them to remind you that no matter how big someone gets, we are all still just human beings.
I can’t wait for her to check out KILLPOP!
Thank you for understanding. 😢
that whole album is amazing!!!!
I've been a maggot since mate feed kill repete been listening since 96 lol. I've never heard someone explain there music so perfectly keep it up your awsome
THE SPINNING T-POSE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MUSIC VIDEO IS SO FUNNYY 😭😭
I think you should do Gently next, it’s an amazing song and has some very guttural screams
The bridge is some of the best lyrics out there. The first word of every sentence/line says "Why did I not see your true face until it was to late... lie lie... that's what you do best"
That is brilliant.
(Why) why was it easy for you?
(Did) did I deserve the abuse?
(I) I can't believe I let it
(Not) not what I wanted
(See) see through your bullshit
(Your) you're so dramatic
(True) true to your form of
(Face) every consequence
(Un-) unintimidated
(-Til) 'til the very end
(It) it'll never happen
(Was) was it all a lie?
(Too) many motherfuckers
(Late) that's what you do best
(Lie) that's what you do best
(Lie) that's what you do best
That's what you do best
I have no idea if this will help anyone with externalization but one thing that has really helped me is using ai art to create image of what im feeling so I can stare it in the face, and it helps me quite a bit. Cheers for the video and thank you!
I just found your channel and your apparently addicted to Slipknot like I am, you need to go see them live
You should do snuff youll love it
To his ex wife and chris fehn this song was to 2 People 100%and of course the feeling of depression anxiety not knowing why those close People to you are the ones who act with mallice and narcissitic ways and behaviours towards in fact just hurt and gain advantages in life
During the bridge if you read the first word of the line there’s a message.
Masterpice! 💯
