In intro 3 Nate was talking with Fear and Fear quoted it because in almost all of his songs Fear was used so it could be either of them at any moment In the verse, there was a line: "its real music till the day we die right? Yeah ain't that the slogan Nathan" here someone was talking and it wasn't Nathan as shown by the line so the only conclusion is it was Fear
I love how much you break songs down. I hate when people get mad at people for pausing too much, like isn’t the point of a reaction is to break down the song?
I love him breaking them down this way. There are so many references that I don't catch in songs or understand the meaning to. So when he breaks this way down, I go ahha that what that meant. It's great and if people don't like it they should just go to the original song and listen for themselves. Right? ✌❤🤣 Peace, love and happiness to everyone.
Yeah thats why its fun too watch different reaction channels, like crypt sjö pause less but breaksdown alot, and scriptwork who is really breaking down the song too. But then we have nolifeshaq who dont break it down at all like many others who i dont watch. But i really like the matthews fam, he do break Down abit, and he is Good with older hiphop etc :)
"Insidious is blind inception" is one of my favorite lines from a song from a linguistic point of view. Insidious doesn't just mean "harmful", it means harmful effects that manifest slowly and subtly. Inception means the establishment or beginning of something, and these days it's associated with the mind (likely thanks to a certain movie). So what the line means is "slowly manifesting harm is a blind beginning" which says to me, considering those words in the context of the song, that we (in our minds) allow thoughts to manifest that are harmful to us without realizing the consequences until much later. The first part about "going downstairs" to me means going down emotionally into depression. Putting holes in the walls until he bleeds, considering the walls are the boundaries of his mind, means self inflicted torture or emotional trauma. Considering that's where his anger is, no surprise. Downstairs might also mean the basement, where he keeps things he doesn't often access. It's where he keeps the memories and feelings about the abuse, and he wishes he could "burn the room" but it won't go away so he just locks up the memories and emotion and avoids it. The whole song is one massive metaphor for his own head is such an amazing way to explore things, it's very engaging and doesn't just help us understand him, but helps people with similar issues form their issues into an image they can handle in a way they haven't been able to. "These walls are my blank expression" and then those blank expressions are covered in lyrics and pain. He sleeps in the room where his regrets are kept, even though he doesn't want to be there. We often think about what we regret the most when we're trying to sleep, or you could interpret it to mean that no matter what he consciously does, it's motivated or influenced by his regrets. I'll stop breaking stuff down now since this is just a youtube comment, but yeah Mansion is an amazing track.
I would say that you're kinda spot on.. Ive already put word's on my own trauma management as a child, how I leaned (without understanding) how to shut things down (fight/flight, to survive, and as a child fighting isn't really a option, it's kind of dissociation isn't it? But as he / you say, and i said this as well. So many people need this. So many people can think, wait, i recognize this, perhaps that feel lonely or depressed and maybe have that same feeling of being alone, vulnerable. Just hope some hear this before it's to late. Not only because the sheer amount of beauty, there's beauty out there, sometimes we just need to remember that, but also for the message.
Mansion- Feels like I missed my alarm and slept in. Wake Up- You spend your life in a dream that you can't escape. Intro 2- Telling with all my fans to wake up, but feel like I haven't.
In Intro III there’s the lyric “ ‘Is it me or the fear talking?’ What a dumb question!” Which is his fear mocking Nate in this song when he says “Is it me or the fear talking, I don’t know anymore.”
My experience with NF up to intro 3. Imagine hearing this in order for the first time. Mansion, I learn about NF and I begin to connect and really care about NF. Therapy Session, you see and feel the fight NF is going through. At this point I was a irreversibly connected fan of NF. Then Perception, Intro 3 I'm listening for the first time. I'm not sure who or what he was talking too till halfway through the song, and then I understood it was fear and then the sound of the shovel hitting fear and I realized that NF has conquered his fear. I jumped up yelling YES YES YES he did it, and deep inside myself a spark of hope was kindled, maybe I can do it too.
"Mansion" is one of the most lyrically intense, heartfelt and honest songs I've ever heard. I love how Nate just puts it all out there and talks about real life and his own psyche. It takes massive guts to do that.
This song was my introduction to NF. I hate how much I can relate to every word that he speaks in this song... I understand and feel his pain down to the core every time I listen to it. I'm happy he's able to share his pain on a scale where he can let people know they are not alone. He speaks out and reaches deep within the broken souls of this earth. I truly am happy he has blown up to an extreme level. I just want him to be happy at some point!!!
I love that it's like one of the Russian dolls the more you open it there's another to open that has the Fibonacci sequence for its 🔐, it's a puzzle in itself.
I’ve been listening to NF since 2008. I’m a Christian and I’ve always loved rap, so he’s been the boy forever. I’ve got “Broken Legs but I chase perfection” tattooed on my arm. He saved my life.
First heard NF on your channel other day , went straight n downloaded mansion, Therapy session, perception & search listened to them all straight through. Don’t think there’s as single song I don’t like. Love his depth of character & deep almost classical production. Really puts it all out there, great artist. Thanks for the introduction, your analysis & dissection of his and others music is brilliant. Keep up the great work 👍
I'm honestly very surprised you hadn't reacted to this one yet... But paralyzed is one of those really deep ones and that hits home for me this and paralyzed hit home for me...
Yes, "How could you leave us" was after. It was on his album Therapy Session, which was the album directly after Mansion. I saw someone below recommend "Remember This", that one is off his Perception album (right after Therapy Session). I think you'd appreciate that song! It's more straight forward, but he speaks so many facts! I enjoy all your breakdowns, but he goes deep and you catch it so well! #KnoxNation #VerseFam
There are 2 types of reactions. 1 is if you just wanna chill and watch someone listen to the song. Then there is Knox Hill where EVERY SINGLE BAR is broken down. Thanks Knox!
When you got the connection with fear and Intro 3 I was like “there we go!” 😂 but in a good way, cause that was my reaction too. Great job!! As far as other NF songs to check out here are the ones I feel like you should take a look at Mansion album: -Intro -All I have -wake up -notepad -paralyzed Therapy Session album: -Intro 2 -real -grindin’ -statement Perception album: -Destiny -remember this -know -if you want love -outro!! The Search Album: -Change (I cant remember if you already did this or not) Warm Up (single) Love your work!! Keep it up!!!
On INTRO II he then says “last year was a glimpse in my life. I let you see what it’s like to be in my head.” Because the mansion is his mind obviously but then he says “I let you come in my mansion but I never said it’s a beautiful house” which hit me so deep
This man deserves million of subscribers. This is what a real reaction video look like!!! Not just showing your reaction but breaking down and understanding the lyrics of the song. Salute!
“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.” ― C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves
“Is that me or the fear talking, I don’t know anymore.” When you consider that in Intro 3, he rapped as himself and fear, and often times, it gets confusing who is who.
These are the things that the majority of people face and depression and ptsd can create vaults that we forget the combination to, and it becomes a map in our head we navigate to find our way back.
I love how he mirrors the line in this song and Intro III: "Is that me or the fear talking, I don't know anymore" and "Is it me or the fear talking? HA! What a dumb question"
I love the way you dont just react to NF's song but you look at the lyrics on a deeper level. So interesting to hear the deeper and double meanings of some of his lyrics!
the way you break down every line, melody, everything, is honestly amazing. I have so much respect for you man, the things you do are amazing and please keep doing then. I'm watching all your reactions and I'm still amazed about how you catch the lyrics so quickly and explain them so well. And don't apologize for pausing man, that's what a reaction it's about, and not only that but to react to every aspect of it, the way you do. You're one of the few reactors that I know that does that and I appreciate it a lot. Your reactions are a journey, they could last an hour long and I'd still watch because you explain everything amazingly. Thanks for doing this man, keep going
This is that song that makes me cry almost everytime, i resonate with it so much. So glad you keep going with him. Heres why he brought fear out in the intro 3.
Another reaction, so damn happy to see it. Knox, it's good to see you're doing another Nate reaction. Keep up the reactions bro. 🙌🙌🙌 Edit: I was just thinking about how he mentions fear coming in years ago, fear being a 'he'. So what if doing that he's mentioning Johnny?
This was the first song I ever heard from NF and I was fresh out of an institution for addiction and it hit hard . I've preordered every album since . I feel like hes a part of my recovery and my life since . Even took my kids to a concert . Thanks Knox
Request: Remember This by NF. This song is very powerful and It is also a very good song musically. Thanks for doing these reactions. But where is my free blade of grass?!
I always love your reactions to NF’s videos. To be honest, I have never watched any other videos of yours except NF reactions. My son introduced me to NF years ago. I use to think his songs were depressing, but the more I listen, the more I realize this guy has mean talent. I am now a 50 year old that owns all 4 albums and will continue listening to him. He is so awesome with his lyrics and music.
The fact that this is the first song of his first album(Ik he had an album before it but through the thing I use it’s marked under a different name so I still usually call mansion his first album) is crazy
YES I'M THE FIRST VIEW AND COMMENT! Seriously I think God did something to let me do this. Legit miracle. I've never managed to do this before. Knox can I get a pin on this?
His lyrics connect so much more than I ever realized. Like you were mentioning with how could you leave us and this one, where he says he wishes he would’ve called but he doesn’t have time in the song to talk about it and then he talks about it in how could you leave us.
This was the first nf song I heard. Found this long before his radio hits and knew right away I had to hear more. Man is amazing with expressing himself with a pen
Mansion was the first song that I ever heard from Nate back in 2015. And I was just enamored at the self-awareness and the levels of displayed poetic introspection. And I haven’t stopped jamming NF since that day.
This chills I love Nate not listened to these songs in ages but damn the memories, I love these songs they helped me so much and I got better, things got better... but now I’m back In this hole.. an this place is worse than ever before... alone again.. lonely.. sad.. empty... I miss you beautiful....🥺😖💔🫂
Broooooooo. I have watched SO MANY mansion reactions in the last 3 years. NOT A SINGLE ONE COMES CLOSE TO PROFESSOR KNOX! Holy fuck! That was an amazing breakdown my man! 🔥🔥🔥PROFESSOR KNOX🔥🔥🔥
I don't even like reaction videos but I have been binging your channel. You have a way of making someone respect and understand the music on a deeper level.
Thanks for this reaction man! This song is soo deep and powerful... Honestly, I don't what I'd do without Nate's music. It helps me so much (just as much as your reactions help me to understand the songs better 'cause English is not my mother language ). Please stay on the nf journey.🙇
I really appreciate how well you explain each verse and what it symbolizes. You're very concise and intelligent, you're one of the few reaction RUclipsrs that I really enjoy.
I've seen a lot of reactions videos before..you sir is the best .. literally breaking down the lyrics piece by piece with a lot of passion as well... hat's off...
Brilliant Reaction. This song is life changing and the absolute story and the best explanation of the minds of those who have suffered horrible traumas. Your evaluation of the lyricism of Nate is profound and on point. Always interesting to see how people react to this song. One of the greats.
I actually love your breakdown of this. So many other reactions I feel like so much goes over their heads but you nailed every one and even have insights that I hadn't thought of before. Amazing job!
Don't know if anyone mentioned this, but the electric guitar in the end is actually again acknowledging inception the movie, the song Time by Hans Zimmer, features a similar melody throughout it.
I'm not that much into Rap, but all I want to listen to now, is NF. That's how deep this guy really is. He's much more than just figurehead. I don't connect to all of his songs, the ones I do, hit really deep. I hope he comes out with another one soon. If he doesn't come out with anymore, job well done.
Another three songs that connect well are No Name, The Search, and Leave Me Alone, all three of those talk about about fame like it’s a person, not a thing. Love your reactions!
I swear all NF Songs make me cry- because its just- its sad but amazing with how he takes his past and puts it into music like this! I feel so bad for him... But I dont think he wants sympathy or anything- I think he just wants people to realise.. He will forever be my idol..
*slowly munches popcorn* your reacts to NF just make my chest all fuzzy. It makes me happy seeing someone getting exactly the reasons I love this artist.
This song is so me I love how it makes me wanna think about myself especially because I have issues with expressing my emotions and his music forces me too he's my favorite rapper 🤣🤣🤣
I love your reactions to NF... They are so genuine and passionate and you manage to catch all the little pieces that NF leaves for people to find. I literally sit here WAITING for another Knox Hill reaction to NF. I don't remember exactly what songs you've done, just that I've seen every video. I would recommend Remember This, Motivated, Change and even some of the other songs from the Mansion album. There are some serious sleepers in that album. Wake up is another good one. Thanks for your amazing videos! Keep it up!
What else should we react to? 🤔 Comment below! Also catch my brand new series BATLLE SESSIONS here!! 🔥🔥 ruclips.net/video/-yU5YrXzhIc/видео.html

Thank you SO MUCH for the 'insidious is blind inception' explanation - I was a bit confused about that!
Thank you so much for breaking down this line, I never understood what it's supposed to mean.
this is such an amazing breakdown! i loved the line so much, but hearing this, it's probably my all-time favorite line that is in a NF song!!

Jennifer 101 dude when he posts another nf reaction please comment this again as soon as you can so he can read this
Same man, same man… SAME!!!
This aged so well...
I can see in the comments that lots are recommending “Let Me Go” and “Remember This” and I 100000% agree. They are both fantastic songs
I've listens to this song thousands of times but I feel like I only now truly understand it.
"Mansion" is one of the most lyrically intense, heartfelt and honest songs I've ever heard. I love how Nate just puts it all out there and talks about real life and his own psyche. It takes massive guts to do that.

How he writes, you can literally see how this house looks like as he unfolds the lyrics.
I don't know which is more impressive: Nate's lyrics or your understanding of them.
Knox has done an amazing job catching onto everything.
I love that it's like one of the Russian dolls the more you open it there's another to open that has the Fibonacci sequence for its 🔐, it's a puzzle in itself.
The way your face lit up when he brought up his fear was awesome. This song really is a masterpiece imo.
listen to paralyzed by nf crazy switch near the end of the song and it’s a great song overall and a deep one
You should react to "if you want love" by NF
Yes!!!
Yeah
i wish Fleurie and Nate would do more stuff together this song is something else
NF: *says ANY line*
NF: *any line at all*
Knox Hill: Wowwwwww! BARS
Loved this reaction thank you so much for this!
"Intro 3" definitely helps you understand "Mansion" and vice versa.
They're mirrored the prequel to itself to come full circle
16:53 when you realize NF is way deeper and the most genius rapper our there.
not even close but aight
yesssss!

First heard NF on your channel other day , went straight n downloaded mansion, Therapy session, perception & search listened to them all straight through. Don’t think there’s as single song I don’t like. Love his depth of character & deep almost classical production. Really puts it all out there, great artist. Thanks for the introduction, your analysis & dissection of his and others music is brilliant. Keep up the great work 👍
Go all the way back to 2010 and listen to his Moments album it's under his full name and not his initials
I'm honestly very surprised you hadn't reacted to this one yet... But paralyzed is one of those really deep ones and that hits home for me this and paralyzed hit home for me...
Yes, "How could you leave us" was after. It was on his album Therapy Session, which was the album directly after Mansion. I saw someone below recommend "Remember This", that one is off his Perception album (right after Therapy Session). I think you'd appreciate that song! It's more straight forward, but he speaks so many facts! I enjoy all your breakdowns, but he goes deep and you catch it so well! #KnoxNation #VerseFam
Knox Hill is back with some more NF!!! hype hype hype
Been waiting for like 4 months for this 😂, so glad you decided to dissect this masterpiece!
You’ve gotta check out “Know” from the perception album!
yess do a reaction to it knox
Yea it's an a amazing song
Yes, “Know” is my favorite!🔥
There are 2 types of reactions. 1 is if you just wanna chill and watch someone listen to the song. Then there is Knox Hill where EVERY SINGLE BAR is broken down. Thanks Knox!
You find the symbolism in Nate's song like an english teacher does in books except the symbolism you find is actually there and makes sense.
When you got the connection with fear and Intro 3 I was like “there we go!” 😂 but in a good way, cause that was my reaction too. Great job!! As far as other NF songs to check out here are the ones I feel like you should take a look at
Mansion album:
-Intro
-All I have
-wake up
-notepad
-paralyzed
Therapy Session album:
-Intro 2

-grindin’
-statement
Perception album:

When you consider that in Intro 3, he rapped as himself and fear, and often times, it gets confusing who is who.
I don't think any of us realise how much time and emotion NF puts in to writing his songs.
I can't get enough of your reactions, they're so in depth and just fruitful with knowledge and respect for the artists.
Normally hate reviewers stopping all
The time but you killed it. The emotions, explanation and knowledge you add in is killer.
These are the things that the majority of people face and depression and ptsd can create vaults that we forget the combination to, and it becomes a map in our head we navigate to find our way back.
Omg yasss I’ve been waiting for this one!!!!!!

I love the way you dont just react to NF's song but you look at the lyrics on a deeper level. So interesting to hear the deeper and double meanings of some of his lyrics!
This is truly the beginning of the journey in my opinion. This explains everything that makes NF and his music.
Honestly I just wanna give NF a hug tbh-
the way you break down every line, melody, everything, is honestly amazing. I have so much respect for you man, the things you do are amazing and please keep doing then. I'm watching all your reactions and I'm still amazed about how you catch the lyrics so quickly and explain them so well.

I always love your reactions to NF’s videos. To be honest, I have never watched any other videos of yours except NF reactions. My son introduced me to NF years ago. I use to think his songs were depressing, but the more I listen, the more I realize this guy has mean talent. I am now a 50 year old that owns all 4 albums and will continue listening to him. He is so awesome with his lyrics and music.
Hands down Knox you're 2nd to none when it comes to breaking down songs💯🍻
The fact that this is the first song of his first album(Ik he had an album before it but through the thing I use it’s marked under a different name so I still usually call mansion his first album) is crazy
YES I'M THE FIRST VIEW AND COMMENT!
Seriously I think God did something to let me do this. Legit miracle.
I've never managed to do this before.
Knox can I get a pin on this?
you got it!!!🎉
Lol... Oh Yeah!?
Well I'm the first one with the best comment.... ;)
Hey!.... That's pretty DEEP ain't it? ;)
It’s not this big of a deal
This was like watching you watch a movie from end to the start. 😂
Mad respect for reading all the comments and replying to a lot. If I got the amount you get, I probably wouldn't.
Can you react to Oh Lord by NF?
That is an amazing song. It really hits home. 💖
His lyrics connect so much more than I ever realized. Like you were mentioning with how could you leave us and this one, where he says he wishes he would’ve called but he doesn’t have time in the song to talk about it and then he talks about it in how could you leave us.
This was the first nf song I heard. Found this long before his radio hits and knew right away I had to hear more. Man is amazing with expressing himself with a pen
You should react to “if you want love” by NF is a really good song
Dude I’ve listened to this song at least a hundred times. But your reaction gives this song so much depth that I never realized listening.
I think you should do paralyzed next
Btw i love ur music
He mentions the “scream” but to me it always sounds more like an echoing water drop
Please react to NF - Paralyzed
So proud of u Knox. Hitting a million. U r the only person I refer to for real reactions.
By teh way you react I could see You're a Fanboy now! Awesome!😅😁
Please react to NF Destiny!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Mansion was the first song that I ever heard from Nate back in 2015. And I was just enamored at the self-awareness and the levels of displayed poetic introspection. And I haven’t stopped jamming NF since that day.
Mansion “is it me or the fear talking? I don’t know anymore.”
INTRO III “is it me or the fear talking? What a dumb question.”
This chills I love Nate not listened to these songs in ages but damn the memories, I love these songs they helped me so much and I got better, things got better... but now I’m back In this hole.. an this place is worse than ever before... alone again.. lonely.. sad.. empty... I miss you beautiful....🥺😖💔🫂
can you react to this comment
Cool drawing
"Remember this" next please!! Amazing reaction love it❤️❤️
Broooooooo. I have watched SO MANY mansion reactions in the last 3 years. NOT A SINGLE ONE COMES CLOSE TO PROFESSOR KNOX! Holy fuck! That was an amazing breakdown my man! 🔥🔥🔥PROFESSOR KNOX🔥🔥🔥
I love you so much with how you break/brake down NF's songs.....please don't ever quit reactions, you are definitely one of a kind!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I don't even like reaction videos but I have been binging your channel. You have a way of making someone respect and understand the music on a deeper level.
Thank you so much Knox, I really enjoyed and appreciated this reaction. Never change brother
Remember this! It is one of my favorites!
I loveeeee how you know your shit about NF. & loveeee how you appreciate everything and acknowledge everything.❤️
This was the first NF song I ever heard. I’ve always been so intrigued with the vulnerability and depth of his songs.
Thanks for this reaction man! This song is soo deep and powerful... Honestly, I don't what I'd do without Nate's music. It helps me so much (just as much as your reactions help me to understand the songs better 'cause English is not my mother language ).
Please stay on the nf journey.🙇
I really appreciate how well you explain each verse and what it symbolizes. You're very concise and intelligent, you're one of the few reaction RUclipsrs that I really enjoy.
I've seen a lot of reactions videos before..you sir is the best .. literally breaking down the lyrics piece by piece with a lot of passion as well... hat's off...
Brilliant Reaction. This song is life changing and the absolute story and the best explanation of the minds of those who have suffered horrible traumas. Your evaluation of the lyricism of Nate is profound and on point. Always interesting to see how people react to this song. One of the greats.
I actually love your breakdown of this. So many other reactions I feel like so much goes over their heads but you nailed every one and even have insights that I hadn't thought of before. Amazing job!
Don't know if anyone mentioned this, but the electric guitar in the end is actually again acknowledging inception the movie, the song Time by Hans Zimmer, features a similar melody throughout it.
I'm not that much into Rap, but all I want to listen to now, is NF. That's how deep this guy really is. He's much more than just figurehead. I don't connect to all of his songs, the ones I do, hit really deep. I hope he comes out with another one soon. If he doesn't come out with anymore, job well done.
Another three songs that connect well are No Name, The Search, and Leave Me Alone, all three of those talk about about fame like it’s a person, not a thing. Love your reactions!
This song is one of my top 5s by NF, thanks for breaking it down... great video as always, Knox!
You are so good at getting deep into songs and explaining the meaning and connecting to the artists' life and their past albums. Love watching you.
I swear all NF Songs make me cry- because its just- its sad but amazing with how he takes his past and puts it into music like this! I feel so bad for him... But I dont think he wants sympathy or anything- I think he just wants people to realise.. He will forever be my idol..
*slowly munches popcorn* your reacts to NF just make my chest all fuzzy. It makes me happy seeing someone getting exactly the reasons I love this artist.
This song is so me I love how it makes me wanna think about myself especially because I have issues with expressing my emotions and his music forces me too he's my favorite rapper 🤣🤣🤣
I listened to him before he went by NF and then I heard mansion and I recognized the voice and was hooked and have been following him since mansion
This is the NF song that changed my perspective of him from an MC into a poet. Nate is on a deeper level then other rappers on this scene.
I love your reactions to NF... They are so genuine and passionate and you manage to catch all the little pieces that NF leaves for people to find. I literally sit here WAITING for another Knox Hill reaction to NF. I don't remember exactly what songs you've done, just that I've seen every video. I would recommend Remember This, Motivated, Change and even some of the other songs from the Mansion album. There are some serious sleepers in that album. Wake up is another good one. Thanks for your amazing videos! Keep it up!
