wby are the normal common sentences like "why dont you take a seat" and "i guess its just something people do" harder to say than the bulk of the monster monologue
for someone who's trying to learn both (and i'm almost done with okultra! yay!) i can guarantee you that rap god is faster. black box warrior is actually easy compared to that! isn't that a nice thought! :) please help me :)
"the monologue" makes me feel like an amnesiac beeing debriefed about their own Life and not understanding a single Word, wich Is an uh.. oddly specific feeling for a Song to give
if I had a nickel for every time a song had gave me that exact vibe, I would have two nickels, which ain't much but it's weird that it happened twice (The other one is amnesia was her name by lemon demon)
here are the timestamps for anyone else who needs to repeat the verses over and over :,) verse one - 0:20 verse two - 1:20 monologue - 2:45 verse three - 3:41 good luck memorizing!
To all those also learning the therapist Monologue: it’s been weeks and I’m still choking with something as easy as “nerve to steal nerves of steel.” You’re doing good. UPDATE: I HAVE IT DOWN PAT. PERFECTLY.
Drink like 7 mountain dews then listen to this on loop while relentlessly spinning around in one of those spinny chairs for like an hour. It may not help you sing faster but I'll scare them.
I saw someone perform this a few hours ago (this is February.) and he started learning piano in August. It was something else. I should also note he’s 15.
i like to imagine it’s just a song about a man being bounced around from therapist to therapist and medication to medication to treat illness without a good result. the song title comes from a Black Box Warning, which is a deadly warning on medication that can kill you. who knows, though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i wouldn’t write an extensive take on it here
@@phoneyogurt From what I've heard, you're pretty close! Apparently it's about Will Wood talking about possibly taking a medication for his bipolar that could kill him!
@@Titleknown this makes a lot of sense. As far as mental illness meds go, anti psychotics can be some of the most dangerous. I took like 100mgs of seroquel and ended up having a hella bad restless leg syndrome attack, passed out for a good day or two. It's not like that for everyone and in the past I was able to take over 1000 mgs without any problems , but it's definitely a hella realistic possiblity
It’s about an abusive therapist I think. Edit: Waitwait, Ok so OKULTRA? Yeah, it’s a play on words for the government controlled secret psychedelic drug experimentation on humans in the 1950’s-80’s (correct me if I’m wrong) called MKULTRA before it was put to a stop. Obviously I don’t know exactly what they did but an obvious way to give the drugs to people would be to prescript them secretly in medical treatments, anti-depressant, (etc.) OKULTRA is mentioned a couple other times casually throughout the album including in the FIRST SONG where in the second half Will straight up throws in a very cheerful, “OKULTRA!” And judging from Will’s history with drugs, theming an entire song on how therapy sucks makes sense.
I have a theory that this man just doesn’t need to breathe like a normal human does. I know this is probably like a studio version where they cut his breath out but holy moly
I started listening to this artist earlier and thought “This is what cryptids listen to.” I have since changed my theory. Cryptids is too tame and restrictive. This is the music skips would listen to.
Day 1 of trying to sing blackboxwarrior flawlessly: i perfectly did the first verse but the other verses made its sound like i was talking gibberish, i’ll be practicing more of this, if i made more progress in one day i will leave a update Day 2: i did the 2nd verse, small mistakes but its just the beginning, i practiced the therapy monologue a bit, very hard i’d say but im looking foward to the next day i’d say Day 3: sorry for the inconvenience, i had been very busy for 2 weeks because of exams I’m perfecting my attempt on the 2nd verse and its a bir hard but i’m getting a hand of it Day 4: sorry for the extremely long inconvenience but i have returned, i’m going to camp next month to go to norway and i may not be active for 4 weeks, but when i return i will update you guys, i got the monologue a bit right but still a bit of some stuttering, hopefully it will be gone Day 5: got the therapy monologue down, if i get to a talent show, i WILL sing this song
Everyone’s talking about the tempo of the song or the complexity of the lyrics, but it no one going to talk about how good the piano part at the beginning is? Like if the whole song was some kind of boss monologue then the beginning would sound like the thing that plays when you step into the boss arena for the first time. I don’t know how to describe it, but it would be awesome if there was a whole song with the same vibe the piano part gives, or at least an extended version of the piano.
I learned the piano part, and it's so fun to just sit around and play it without doing the rest of the song. Just the same intro part over and over. It's incredible
I memorised this entire song just to use it as a speech in the “song lyrics as a speech” assignment in my English class, it was the best thing I’ve ever done
This goddamn masterpiece of a song was stuck in my head for nearly TWO fucking years, but for the love of Christ I couldn’t remember the name, till TH-cam pulled this out and slapped me in the face with it. And holy fuck I’m I happy that I loved this song so much for it to be an ear worm for so long. Wow I went on a rant, sorry about the curses!

heyo! i'm doing an assignment on The Normal Album and this song sounds incredibly familiar but for the life of me i cannot pinpoint the genre. i thought about tarantella but i'm not sure - if anyone has any other input i'd love it!
Before I ever read the lyrics I thought this song was about a man who went crazy and became a time traveling Ninja. I now see that I was vastly mistaken XD
My hamilton phase was useful after all i can actually sing most of this song without mumbling thanks to my dedication to learning all the really fast raps in hamilton
this is the song you love so much but cant ever remember the lyrics until it gets to the chorus its like: "mumbling to the beat" then excitedly going "FOR WHAT, FOR WHAT, FOR WHAT ITS WORTH" and so on
I interpret this song as a man or his peers reviewing how he died with lost frustration, guided by the therapist saying “did you die before your day?”, or should have died as demons and ghosts try to coerce him into insanity
I think "did you die before your day" ties into the previous line about Phineas Gage. He got a superheated railroad spike blasted through his frontal lobe and he survived as the rod immediately cauterized the hole it made through his head and went clean out the other side. His personality was completely destroyed, and he became a man completely devoid of the self he once held. A death/change of personality could be called dying before your day.
In a lot of the more unhinged will wood songs I get the vibe that theres a mish mash of mini social commentaries that all sum up into one big social commentary about the many flaws the human species and identity have as a whole As a collective, it sounds unhinged, but to me when I casually listen and my distracted ear occasionaly picks up different lines it sounds like me and my adhder friend trying to have a discussion about a political hot topic and because said political topic is connected to other topics, the conversation accidentally all of a sudden devolves into a messy philosophy debate
For those who don’t know what Steven Johnson syndrome is, it’s basically this really nasty rash thing on your body, it’s very rare and not found very often, but can be severe and required medical attention
1:45 THIS IS THE PART THAT I *NEVER* GET HUYS IS THERE *ANYONE* WHO CAN SAY THIS WITHOUT TRIPPING IN THE COMMENTS!? BECAUSE *DAMM* GIVE THOSE PEOPLE SOME RESPECT
you’re talking about the Vagus Nerve part right? Yeah I hate that part too because I can never get the right rhythm down to sing it!! I’ve gotten better at it by slowing down the song but even then I still struggle lol
I think I realized why I like this genre of music it just unlocks deep memories of watching youruber outros this one gives me dlive vibes for some reason
To the people who are trying to learn the monologue for whatever reason, check out the live in studio version of this song. The monologue is was clearer and it's spoken slower. I think it could help.
I can honestly imagine the ER room and Will Wood being the "doctor" while talking to a young boy whose relationship with the criminal mafia guy on the examination is undetermined. Meanwhile, Will Wood is slowly starting to turn the ER room into an acid trip where he's slowly starting to magic trick off of the body, even having doubles playing the dead body like a piano and blowing off the tip of the head's own saxophone mouthpiece and warp the room to match what he is saying, from what he's observing, what he's been told, to what he is reading off of the doctor's notes. During the monologue, he is personally addressing the kid through a chair while literally, PsychoAnalyzing interrogating the kid while chucking at him a ton of questions, pulling out a bunch of items, and writing down things incredibly quickly before ending up pulling out a mirror to his face which is now a mirror, before cheekily shrugging it off. Then comes the rest of the lyrics and the kid is now being treated like the previously mentioned dead body before the entire song ends with two Will Woods Neo Cortex falling (before, he just pointed up and down like Scout's default Baseball Taunt) and being pulled up by a rope like a creepy smiling doll being noosed across his neck before crashing into one Will Wood who poses for the camera with his arms outstretched, and a hop to be put on one foot with a smile across his face and the entire sequence animation ends. Basically, very Looney Tunes tone with what is clearly a horrifying situation for anyone to watch or be subjected to. I would honestly imagine a lot of musicians like Will Wood to have a very Rod Serling role to their art, heck, I would love to be looked at as a Rod Serling figure in the rest of my work. Tally Hall and Bo Burnham come to mind as other Rod Serling figures to their music.
Possible tip for keeping up with this: |Could be circumstantial, as I have no way to test this| Learn & keep up with 6up 5oh first, as both are fast paced with a lot going on but 6up 5oh isn't as lengthy. Let me know if this helps 👍 [ I'm still tripping up on a phrase, as well as the monologue. This possibly circumstantial tip just helped me with keeping up with the rest. ]
Wow... very thankyou. The music which was maked by him is very nice . I'm japanese so i want to know what he say in the music. Thank you very much for writing in English .😊 I thought this was a Nazi-themed song.🧐 I'm happy to be able to study English with my favorite song ! 😆
Just giving you a heads up that even people who's native language is English have trouble grasping what is trying to be said in the song since a lot of it almost seems like random words strung together at certain points.

My favorite line is "Boy you really is defective" idk why it just sounds funny😂
I love the whirly sounds at 2:45 also I love the image accompanying the lyrics
Everyone’s talking about the tempo of the song or the complexity of the lyrics, but it no one going to talk about how good the piano part at the beginning is? Like if the whole song was some kind of boss monologue then the beginning would sound like the thing that plays when you step into the boss arena for the first time. I don’t know how to describe it, but it would be awesome if there was a whole song with the same vibe the piano part gives, or at least an extended version of the piano.
I learned the piano part, and it's so fun to just sit around and play it without doing the rest of the song. Just the same intro part over and over. It's incredible
He also does this stuff without reading sheet music
this is so true that piano melody is so good bro 😩
I memorised this entire song just to use it as a speech in the “song lyrics as a speech” assignment in my English class, it was the best thing I’ve ever done
THE SAX NEVER SOUNDS THE SAME AS IT DOES IN THE STUDIO RECORDING AND I’LL NEVER GET USED TO IT

This goddamn masterpiece of a song was stuck in my head for nearly TWO fucking years, but for the love of Christ I couldn’t remember the name, till TH-cam pulled this out and slapped me in the face with it. And holy fuck I’m I happy that I loved this song so much for it to be an ear worm for so long. Wow I went on a rant, sorry about the curses!
I have memorized the entire song as well as the monologue and I’m high key so impressed with myself
you should be impressed with yourself
I am going to sing this at 2x speed even if it kills me

lyrics for copy and paste:
Well he collapsed with Stevens-Johnson syndrome on the E.R. floor, panic attacked, anaphylactic and ataxic
The way he spun his butterfly risked all six his phalanges, roman candles at both ends of his synapses
And the method with which he recycled his humors trojan horse'd his blood-brain barrier and raised the LD 50, yes-yes
And through flight or fight revelation shame, the black box warrior, he skipped this town and headed straight down history
Shields himself from reason in a kevlar baby blue tuxedo quilted from the finest fibers, flesh, and fiberglass, and flowers
Ego a mosquito
Evil incarnate, good incognito
Pops placebos for labido
Screaming bless the torpedos
For what? for what?
For what it's worth
If it was going to kill you boy, it would have by now
For what? for what?
For what it's worth
There's no more looking back, it's looking up or looking down
Well he was wearing stolen rubber shoes and wrapped a poison ivy noose around his lotus jugular when they came
Well they found him with a map to every victim of his love and a tattoo of a blue jay on his face
And they waited for his vital signs to lie and let a flatline cry a hymn out in hungarian harmonic
But he cocked his noggin, through his stoma sang for auld lang syne, happy birthday to the succulents, I'll die your hydroponics.
His rib cage was a hornet's nest
Palpitations set the beat, his vagus nerve a turk's head knot, an axel hitch, a carrick bend
He wondered if christ consciousness would charge a cancellation fee
Auf wiedersehn, au revoir, he gripped his wits right by their ends
For what? for what?

If it was going to k!ll you boy, it would have by now

Hello, welcome.
Why don't you take a seat?
Get comfortable, take a second if you need to
Now what's bothering you?
Well, why don't we start at the beginning?
Growing up, how was your relationship with the fundamentals of conscious existence?
And how about claustrophilic tendrils clapping caskets closed on seven knuckle thumbs, did you get along well with the gideon bugler pineal glands, your projector eyes casting scifi's on your str'd strands?
Tell me about your nerve to steal nerves of steel from under bacchus' bloody nose
Did namibian himbas tiedye you, your ears pierced with a phineas gage flagpole, did you die before your day?

Why to thine own self be try when it is you who are the problem
Not the things you do but something sick inside

Boy you really is defective

Offer up your innocence, please ignore the side effects
You've lost your mind and almost lost your life before
So you'll be fine

nvm, i found it - it's ragtime i believe, if anyone else needs/wants to know!

ME AF RNN,
Will Wood and Lemon deamon are so stim
Before I ever read the lyrics I thought this song was about a man who went crazy and became a time traveling Ninja. I now see that I was vastly mistaken XD
lmao
Time traveling ninja is a animation im making
1:21 this just scratches my brain in the best way
the way he sings 'poison ivy noose' is just.. wow
Did he like become british like why does he say it like that
Neighbors are about to learn these lyrics along with the rest of y'all.
In my endeavor to memorize the monologue I accidentally memorized the whole thing. Why this. I can't even remember my laundry
As a native English speaker I can proudly say that I know around half of those words :3
Me too
One day, I will learn and memorize this entire song...
That day is not yet today.

My hamilton phase was useful after all i can actually sing most of this song without mumbling thanks to my dedication to learning all the really fast raps in hamilton

Im going to memorize every single Will Wood song.

Same here. I wish you the best of luck!
good luck!
this song expanded my vocalubary so much
I struggle with hypochondriac tendencies. This is what it feels like.
Holding (as it were) a mirror up to your mirror.
the therapist monologue makes me feel like i dont understand english again
honestly, this just sounds like me rambling in therapy and i love it
This gives me Willy Wonka vibes but somehow more crazy. Especially that monologue in the middle.

oh jesus- goodluck buddy
@@grey_cybernetix.1299 *yeah* thanks
I interpret this song as a man or his peers reviewing how he died with lost frustration, guided by the therapist saying “did you die before your day?”, or should have died as demons and ghosts try to coerce him into insanity
I think "did you die before your day" ties into the previous line about Phineas Gage. He got a superheated railroad spike blasted through his frontal lobe and he survived as the rod immediately cauterized the hole it made through his head and went clean out the other side. His personality was completely destroyed, and he became a man completely devoid of the self he once held. A death/change of personality could be called dying before your day.
In a lot of the more unhinged will wood songs I get the vibe that theres a mish mash of mini social commentaries that all sum up into one big social commentary about the many flaws the human species and identity have as a whole
As a collective, it sounds unhinged, but to me when I casually listen and my distracted ear occasionaly picks up different lines it sounds like me and my adhder friend trying to have a discussion about a political hot topic and because said political topic is connected to other topics, the conversation accidentally all of a sudden devolves into a messy philosophy debate
NGL the monologue sounds like when I'm trying to pay attention in class and can only understand individual pieces instead of the whole picture
I wonder, can i go insane hearing to this song nonstop on loop everyday for a year?, that would be an interesting experiment!
2:38
Yall know *EXACTLY* why this is here.
no we dont

For those who don’t know what Steven Johnson syndrome is, it’s basically this really nasty rash thing on your body, it’s very rare and not found very often, but can be severe and required medical attention

I listened to this for the first time today at 2 AM and now im determined to memorize it. I already got one part down so.. yay!!
God that monologue part lives rent free in my SOUL
oh yes five minutes straight tongue twister, my favorite song
1:45 THIS IS THE PART THAT I *NEVER* GET HUYS IS THERE *ANYONE* WHO CAN SAY THIS WITHOUT TRIPPING IN THE COMMENTS!?
BECAUSE *DAMM* GIVE THOSE PEOPLE SOME RESPECT
you’re talking about the Vagus Nerve part right? Yeah I hate that part too because I can never get the right rhythm down to sing it!! I’ve gotten better at it by slowing down the song but even then I still struggle lol
I know right? I HAD TO SLOW IT DOWN *SO MANY TIMES*, sometimes I wonder how do people even pronounce this lol
yeah its impossible but i manage by spouting out nonsense to cover and pretend like its part of the song!!
nnevermind i did it without stumbling while practicing on piano today
you all are just weak /j
this is the final boss of memorizing the lyrics to fast songs that Nobody Normal would know
it looks really nice and the pacing is great, thank you! 💕
where am i i’m glad you liked it!

To the people who are trying to learn the monologue for whatever reason, check out the live in studio version of this song. The monologue is was clearer and it's spoken slower. I think it could help.
this is like lemon demon for people who are somehow even more mentally deranged
I can honestly imagine the ER room and Will Wood being the "doctor" while talking to a young boy whose relationship with the criminal mafia guy on the examination is undetermined. Meanwhile, Will Wood is slowly starting to turn the ER room into an acid trip where he's slowly starting to magic trick off of the body, even having doubles playing the dead body like a piano and blowing off the tip of the head's own saxophone mouthpiece and warp the room to match what he is saying, from what he's observing, what he's been told, to what he is reading off of the doctor's notes.
During the monologue, he is personally addressing the kid through a chair while literally, PsychoAnalyzing interrogating the kid while chucking at him a ton of questions, pulling out a bunch of items, and writing down things incredibly quickly before ending up pulling out a mirror to his face which is now a mirror, before cheekily shrugging it off. Then comes the rest of the lyrics and the kid is now being treated like the previously mentioned dead body before the entire song ends with two Will Woods Neo Cortex falling (before, he just pointed up and down like Scout's default Baseball Taunt) and being pulled up by a rope like a creepy smiling doll being noosed across his neck before crashing into one Will Wood who poses for the camera with his arms outstretched, and a hop to be put on one foot with a smile across his face and the entire sequence animation ends.
Basically, very Looney Tunes tone with what is clearly a horrifying situation for anyone to watch or be subjected to. I would honestly imagine a lot of musicians like Will Wood to have a very Rod Serling role to their art, heck, I would love to be looked at as a Rod Serling figure in the rest of my work. Tally Hall and Bo Burnham come to mind as other Rod Serling figures to their music.
This song just gave me an adrenaline shot
Possible tip for keeping up with this:
|Could be circumstantial, as I have no way to test this|
Learn & keep up with 6up 5oh first, as both are fast paced with a lot going on but 6up 5oh isn't as lengthy.
Let me know if this helps 👍
[ I'm still tripping up on a phrase, as well as the monologue. This possibly circumstantial tip just helped me with keeping up with the rest. ]

Just giving you a heads up that even people who's native language is English have trouble grasping what is trying to be said in the song since a lot of it almost seems like random words strung together at certain points.
