    Imagine all the kinds of endings if it’ll have if it was made a video game, the good ending will probably be him becoming more mentally stable and seeing what’s wrong with him, and winning the race and coming first and in the right way, a symbolic ending of choosing the right path, the bad ending is the MC defaming himself and is pretty much what the video shows, committing crimes, second place and the wrong way a symbolic ending of choosing the wrong path, while the true ending is the MC committing $uici*e, the fame, the hate, and the mental instability is too much hence the ending, a symbolic way of ending it all, literally.

    All jokes aside, this is a really well-made video. My ordinary life is truly a deep and horrifying song behind that bright and fun animation style. It also fits in with the message of the man trying to hide his emptiness with a colorful mask, but only just making him feel even more empty in the end.

      The video game thing was just representative for the larger themes in the story, (appearances versus reality and trying to escape reality with fantasies). If one has real love, (be it family love, friendship love, or romantic love) then they should have more of a sense of belonging and importance rather than the hollow emptiness that out protagonists feels from the meaningless idealization from his consumers. He's sold his life to wealth and fame, and feels as though he's missed out on it's true joys

  • @ChristianOkuthe
    @ChristianOkuthe 6 месяцев назад +169

    The song isn't about suicide, the song is about "Imposter Syndrome", by the quote in the song "I feel fear for the very last time" it means he's leaving his emotions to be who his fans want him to be and expect him to be. He's lying about himself about who he is. He has all this fame but feels like he doesn't deserve it. He also feels like his fans are giving him too much power and choosing quality or quantity. By "too much power" that means his fans are saying "do whatever you want", which makes him feel like everything he does just earns him money without actually doing much effort because of his fans giving him too much power and that makes him feel like what he does is just giving him money without much effort, like Midas the god. Everything he touches turns gold, he gets rich without any effort. Also, when he says "I'm losing touch, you get me?".
    He's saying that like mentioned, Midas, he's losing touch with his fans and surrounded by fame and fortune, and no longer feeling like he's part of humanity, but like a god. "..they let me lie to them..." mean that his fans are not even suspecting anything about what he's saying and just believes him without any evidence of what he said was true or not.

    To me, that final verse could also means that the man is about to commit suicide. "Lean in, let go, I feel fear for the very last time" that part might refer to him jumping off a highest place as he reminds himself (and to us) that this will be the last time he had to put up with all the stress and high expectation from society as well as the phobia of not living up to his image because hey, no point of caring all that if you're more dead than you already figuratively are.

      I think similar the biblical story of "jonah and the whale" it was another metaphorical depiction of the myth of icarus who flew too high to the sun. It may be referring to the protagonist's lack of fear and precaution which caused him to have too much self confidence (mirroring the myth) and which will be his hamaria (like icarus who got too engrossed in his own freedom and forgot the words of warning of his father).

    I have my own theory of the end of the song being about an overdose leading to his death. Because he is at an all time low in his mental state and is desperately seeking true happiness . So he decides to overdose on drugs to numb the pain completely and put him self in a state of pure bliss like when he says “world is below so high up I’m near divine” before he eventually dies “lean in let go I feel fear for the very last time”. (And the music fades away)

(12:57 - 13:14) I mean, holy shit it’s like he deliberately chose to air my dirty laundry. I often dive into a world of gaming that i know is fake, to ignore the reality and stress or disappointment from life around me. Most ppl on the outside think I look perfectly fine, fit, healthy and in a good mood most of the time, and have no idea that I’m actually super depressed and just try not to think about how shitty I feel in reality, and that on some days I feel like I’m dying inside. Sometimes I just wanna go into a corner and hide, and often times can’t even explain to ppl why I’ve made bad choices cuz I’m not great at putting my emotions or thoughts or the way I feel into words verbally.

    I love this video, and I completely agree with a lot of your points. However, I feel like you left out the importance of substance abuse in the song. Throughout the song, the protagonist expresses his temporary relief from his wild life through drugs/probably pot, and that is his only way to cope. From lines like “eyes closed, let the world just pass me by,” and “so high up i’m near divine,” and “lean in, let go,” we can see this is sort of like being high, and the lean in let go is probably a reference to leaning in to take a hit of a blunt, and then feeling euphoric. The same can be said about the ending scene, where the room is seemingly filled with smoke, and their eyes are bloodshot. The friends he’s with as well probably encouraged this substance abuse behavior, as they only appear in the story after the Lion receives a better, faster car than the original. The only time he probably feels a connection with them, is when they’re high together, avoiding their problems.

      I believe this because I've been a fan since he started doing FNAF songs and I've loved all his other songs as well. I noticed back then he would get a ton of people asking him to make more constantly, so there was a lot of pressure to stick with that kind of music. I think eventually he had to stop for a little bit but came back because of the FNAF movie. I don't know about the more recent stuff as I haven't kept up with it but I definitely do feel like there's some feelings of his within My ordinary life.

    As a The Living Tombstone fan who has also heard their album Zero_One, I noticed that many people make jokes in the comment sections like "Dear songwriter, are you ok?"
    It kinda worries me that since the group is relatively famous but also criticized by people for just taking advantage of popular indie or horror games to make songs about, that it can reflect the actual band members thoughts about their lives
    P.D You should also try to cover the Zero_One album

    • @rarecrom

      I love zero one. After that album, I think it’s safe to say the lyrics in my ordinary life aren’t very superficial and actually have relevance to TLT’s (yoav specifically I think) lives.
      I think maybe the protagonist of the songs is more of a loner type (at least compared to my ordinary life) and less bourgeois in zero_one, but either way I think they still come from the same place.

  • @funeralruiner
    @funeralruiner Год назад +76

    2:25 Yeah, but also at the end we see them smoking with red eyes, "grass" and "dank" are both terms often related to weed, so I feel like that's a double meaning
    Also this song could either mean the guy gets detached from reality and his emotions, like you said with the "feeling fear for the very last time" or it could signify suicide, with the "if I fall I think I'll fly" which might say that he thinks if he falls, (commits suicide, probably by jumping off a building) he'll fly (go to heaven)

  • @TryingForSomethingNew
    @TryingForSomethingNew Год назад +83

    I love the sudden shift in the meaning of the chorus, at first, it feels as if it's boasting, “Staying still, eyes closed, let the world just pass me by” At first, it's “Oh, just look at me breeze through life with no worries” but when it plays again a second time, it becomes “Life is moving past me so quickly, I can't even keep up with it”. “Pain pills, nice clothes, if I fall I think I'll fly” When you first hear it, it's almost as if he's indulging in the riches and the ecstasy his fame and fortune have given him but when it's played again at the end, it's the only things that he has in his life now, it's devoid of everything he once had and is reduced to medication and accessories. “None to guide us” At first, it's a statement about his freedom, no one is pulling him on a leash anymore and telling him what to do, but on replay, it shows how lost he is and that he needs someone to guide him through life. “I feel fear for the very last time” This one is the easiest to decipher while at the exact same time being the darkest, at first, it's a rush of ecstasy that makes him feel as if he has no more shackles of fear but when you hear it again at the end, he literally means he's going to feel fear for the VERY LAST TIME as in he's going to commit [REDACTED]

  • @EndermanPierce
    @EndermanPierce Год назад +91

    Wow… I only ever knew the “popular music artist” approach and that was it, but I never could really wrap my head fully around the song’s meaning. This explains SO much around the end, especially the characters becoming realistic, and the Game Over screen. I just assumed, “that’s for a random horror factor”, without realizing it had the intentions of details I missed like “WRONG WAY” where they were actually heading down a path of some sort. This is a great analysis, and I loved watching it!

    I think this video would've benefited from being a half as long, if not shorter.
    It wasn't fully necessary to interpret every single line individually. A lot of them are pretty self explanatory when just read out in this context.
    It felt like 50% of the first section was you just you rephrasing the lyrics directly without really adding much additional context.
    (Also I'm like 90% certain "my grass is dank" is a reference to weed)
    That being said, I liked your interpretation of the visuals of the video. You pointed out a lot interesting things.

    I think this could be also interpreted as

    I think my grass(weed) is dank
    This could be someone telling him things are better if you live different (greener on the other side) and he deflects with a tangent about how his grass is dank. Which is another instance of materialism overriding deeper meaning in his life
