      Complete agreement.
      Genius must begetting desperate for topics to talk about, when they try to litteraly explain the unexplainable, and reason the unreasonable.
      A song from bill wurtz has an extremey subjective meaning or none altogether, and therefore cannot be pbjectively explained.
      bill's explanation is what he felt it means. That's not what YOU have to think it means

      @@Lemochii I know what he means though. It's the ADHD free-association thought process. Pear to apple makes sense because they're both fruit. Apple to pineapple makes sense because wordplay. Pineapple to porcupine makes sense because they're the same size and shape. Porcupine to sublime is fun because rhymes. But apples and sublime have nothing to do with eachother. So as you go FORWARD in timeline, you also go SIDEWAYS in topic, so you're moving DIAGONALLY in topic-over-time. it means you can have a vast change in meaning over a short period of time using a seamless transition. It's a good way to "take the audience for a ride" and dump them somewhere they didn't expect to be to add interest.

    That's why Bill is a good artist. He doesn't write all lyrics to make sense, he writes them purely out of feeling instead of thought. There doesn't need to be logic, he just does what *feels* right for them. And the interpretations of those lyrics, are fully up to the listeners. You can decide for yourself what they might mean. And i think that's beautiful.

    well, seems like we got a valuable wisdom from him : sometimes art aren't necessarily have to be complex or have any deep meaning to it, because the only thing matters is whether we enjoy it or not, and that's kinda be the main purpose of it.

      Well, even if he writes some kind of randomly, the fact that Bill likes the lyrics means that they kind of agree with him. And I think Bill's got a really nice attitude about stuff, he's the complexity and the joy all at the same time. So all his work is loaded with that vibe, and you can pick it up even in his nonsense lyrics. So yeah, I'm one level it's kind of goofy junk food, but on another level it's goofy junk food made by a wizard of goodwill.
