Everyone saying this is all about suicide, but they're mostly missing the point: the song tells the story of a musician. He starts off rejecting any and all criticism, grows cocky and gets fame and money quickly, developing a mild drug addiction. After some time he develops a big fanbase but on doing so loses his integrity and feels disconnected from what he does, from the content he puts out and the fans that follow him. His addiction worsens and, eventually, falls into a depression. His pursuit of money and fame ends with him feeling lonely and lost, leading to his eventual suicide. Now that I think about it, this might actually be a reference to the 27 club. EDIT: Yo, guys, this already has 21k+ likes. My God, you're all madlads, thank you for the comments.

The weird thing is that person in the song talks about how high class and rich they are. In the Indian social structure the lowest class you can be is an untouchable.
2nd half of the song is pretty much his high friends or people seeing that hes a perfect person. They dont see any mistakes in his bad actions, lions are strong, hes not prideful and he doesnt think that his friends should think that highly of him
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. (not my work but feel like I should spread this) Edit: whats a fish to a submarine, whats a bird to a plane, whats a hawk to a
I feel like this song is about a celebrity’s journey to suicide. In the beginning they’re confident and rich and new to fame. They’re sure of themselves and aren’t letting anything get to them. The second verse is after they’ve lived in fame for a while. The fame is getting to their head, but so is the pain. They get so caught up in the game that they lose themselves in their camera personality and forget their actual personality (“Is there a real me?”) They descend into insanity as they lose their personality and develop a God complex, and when it all become too much they commit suicide.
i love how the chorus gets darker and darker the longer you listen. at the beginning it just sounds like he's unaffected by negativity, and is generally doing well for himself. but as the song goes on, you kind of start to realize that the lines indicate him committing suicide, especially as the song begins to talk about losing touch with reality as a result of being famous. like "i feel fear for the very last time" sounds like a positive thing, as in he's not afraid anymore. but as you listen to the chorus again, you kind of realize that when you commit suicide you certainly must feel fear while doing so, and it's not like you're gonna get a chance to feel it again afterwards.
Also how does pumped up kicks have anything to do with this?? One is about a school shooting and one is about being lost in fame. I don’t see the connection at all.
@@pepeke7027 Pumped up kicks is not about school shooting, Foster the People don't play that song anymore bc everyone keep saying that and they got really mad, so they ban the song
Akun Senpai Ok, i’ll play. It wasn’t about a school shooting but Mark Foster stated that it was in reference to shootings due to an incident that occurred in January 2010. Regardless, the songs are entirely different, and I wasn’t too far off in my judgement. Edit: also the reason for it being banned is false. They didn’t get angry over the false interpretation, but it was banned because of its violent nature. Also, they don’t play the song anymore; not because they’re upset about the false interpretation; but because “It’s like pushing your song in somebody’s wound - I don’t really want to do it. And so yeah, it’s something that I’ve been wrestling with.” -Mark Foster. Given that, there’s a high indication that your reasoning is by no means correlated, since their decision is based on it being somewhat hurtful and repetitive.
Everyone: oh yeah this song is about suicide and drugs and how the person singing gets tired of fame Me 2 years ago when this song came out: DANG THIS IS A STRAIGHT BOP
its 2019 and the ending still terrifies me its 2020 and the ending still terrifies me its 2021 and the ending still terrifies me its 2022 and the ending still terrifies me its 2023 and the ending still terrifies me its 2024 and the ending still terrifies me
Here’s something stupid you probably didn’t need to know. The Japanese voice at the beginning is saying “Alright, let’s go! Rock, paper scissors!” And is from the anime “Nichijou: My Ordinary Life”. In fact the melody of this song samples a track from that show
Those lyrics... Unbelievable. I'm convinced those guys are geniuses Especially the "stayin' still, eyes closed, let the world just pass me by" that's my favourite part.
I think this song is deadass just about a musician (prolly the living tombstone) who through his successful music career has built a god complex to cover up low self esteem and mental illness and eventually they mix, leaving him feeling like he is above fear and death as he becomes more suicidal
maybe, and then the other animals like the whale are trying to stop him from committing from suicide. the giraffe and the rhino are toxic "friends" who push away others and make the lion more suicidal. then the finish line at the end might mean the lion has commit and the "wrong way" means that suicide is never the answer.
thank youuuu! I got the notes of suicide, but I was wondering why that was the only thing people were talking about. Your comment sums up what I got out of it quite nicely.
People can't touch you. You're too popular. They can't hurt you. Too many people praise you over the people who want to tear you down. But at the same time, due to your fame, your image, you can't reach out to anyone else. Reputation won't let you. You can't talk seriously. I think that's what it is. And I can see it a bit, if it is. Most of the comments on the video aren't commenting on the message of the song. Possibly don't see it. An attempt to give a comment on a problem in a song and people just kinda pass it by. I think the two best examples I can think of actually is, one, he could just lie about some things, and people would just follow like sheep because he's famous and they admire him, they refuse to see him wrong. Which kinda leads me into the logan paul situation, with the dead body and all. Apologizes and takes the video down, and people are still telling him he's right, he should keep it up, the REST of the world is wrong. His fans won't listen to him when he tries to be genuine, show he made a mistake. That fame from his fans. They can't be penetrated. Nor can an actual message get through them. Can't reach out to them. Can't touch them either. I just assume this because of the lines earlier "They let me lie to them, and don't feel like they've been mislead" and "No matter what I make, they never see mistakes" But there's no guarantee. These are just my thoughts. I think other peoples thoughts on the message gathered would lead to a more accurate assumption. Hope I helped, at least!
@@wailingchildsad520 It’s fine! The lyrics “It’s cool but I don’t see them laughing at my money though. They spitting facts at me, I’m spitting tracks, catch me? I’m spitting gold out my records, know you can’t combat me.”, “Making so much bread, I don’t care that they’re being fake”, “Can you heal me? Have I gained too much? When you become untouchable, you’re unable to touch.” The musician just wanted to be well liked and admired by popularity and their “friends” doubt and Misbelief them AT FIRST. Sooner or later they get famous and unfortunately, they got an excessive self-importance, needing for admiration, and lack of empathy. A bit of infinitesimal hate can lead to their breakdown like the lyrics “The haters wanna hurt me and I’m laughing at the pain”. Their difficult career, alcohol abuse, and money problems shown in the video are affected immensely from their narcissistic god-like disorder. Def one of my fav songs, Sorry for making this very long haha.
OMG I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR A COMMENT LIKE THIS! All the comments I’ve seen in this section are about the lyrics, how they’re depressing or talk about suicide. But I just wanted one comment that talks about how the beat is from Nichijou or at least a comment that mentions Nichijou! I love the anime!
I just realized it today. It had been a while since I watched Nichijou, so this song seemed familiar but I couldn’t place it. Then I started watching Nichijou again and I heard it and I had the “AHA!” Moment when I realized that it was the origin for the song.
the lyrics “when you become untouchable you’re unable to touch” means everything he touches will have the midas effect, which means everything he does will be publicized and he has no way of hiding anything from his fans
I love the fact that even though this song has an original intending meaning by TLT, it can be interpreted in many different ways. Whether you think it's about imposter syndrome, suicide/mental illness in general, the god complex and fakeness that frequently comes from fame, a combination of the above, or something else entirely you really can't say it's a wrong interpretation. That's what's great about music and this song displays that so we'll alongside being incredibly catchy and well written.
@@cwffingrll THAT'S A BIT SUSSY Seriously tho, imposter syndrome is basically where someone will doubt their own abilities to do something and fear of being exposed as a fraud, or "imposter".
@@cwffingrll its when you believe that you don't deserve to be where you are in lif- IMPOSTER HAAHAHAHAA4A4A4AA AMOGGU5 FUNNĮ SUSSY HHH SUSSUS AMOGUS HAHAHAHS44A4A3A4A4DHSHH
The song has so much meaning to it. The hunger for status and the need for validation. Everyone has unique ideas. We all have doubts. Theres so much to unpack here with the lyrics.
I saw a theory that this song is about the imposter syndrome. (also dont u fucking dare do amongus jokes imposter syndrome is a real thing. people like jaiden animations have talked about it before)
I like how so many people have their own interpretations of what the song is about, depression, fame, mistakes, some combination there of and some totally different. I think thats how its supposed to be with impactful songs, it can speak different messages and touch people in their own way. For me, it kindof reminds me of the idea of being depressed and suicidal and noone around you sees it, they think youre doing great, and you just keep acting like its true because you dont know how to ask for help or dont want to bother them. The goofy video with the unsettling ending and the cheery tone against the darker lyrics sortof give me that vibe.
yeayeayea that's the point i love how its not obvious and its meant to fool you into being charmed by the bright colors and bouncy rhythm. Even the lyrics are sugar coated and everything in the song is a metaphor for something darker. Its so addicting and I'm so in love with the complex themes.
this is the thrill i live for. there is always something that the community finds in the artist's songs, always a portion that really impacts them, this song does that and so much more.
In the beginning he's brash and has the attitude of thinking he's perfect, and all the people around him try to tell him he's doing things wrong, then later in the song he fills the people around him with yesmen, and he realizes that he's emotionally a fraud, and can't get out of the box he's been put it. He wants perfection so bad he wasn't true to himself, so he went too far. "Touch me Midas" line is a good analogy for that. He sealed himself in gold externally, but inside he's still broken and unhappy.
This is so dark but i guess it fits the darkness of the song: I found this song because a 16 yo kid in my city got tortured to death by his so called "friends" and i found his soundcloud where he had not much more than this song. It's such a good song but it makes me incredibly depressed thinking about the fact that he listened to this. Rest in peace Atso
What appears on the screen: a lion, a girrafe and a hog vibing while fighting gnomes What the lyrics mean: a man who's success in life was so big that he cannot be himself or else he'll become poor and die without nobody remembering him
Little theory, This is the lion guy telling his friends his problems while they are playing a game and being high on drugs. This shows how active the comments still are, Lol.
Yeah my guess is that they are celebrities that have their own racing game hence the god complex and the drugs of how a lot of stars become drug addicts
"Me me big boy" is a very underrated line in this. People fail to see the true meaning behind this quote at the beginning of the video where it represents him telling us that he is, in fact, a big boy. However, by saying in a way that a child would say it completely contradicts the statement itself, showing that he never fully matured into the mindset of an adult. Very sad
California Calico fuck sorry it’s just there’s a lot of “deep” theories in this comment section and i can’t really tell which ones are or aren’t sarcastic
Three years since I last came here. I missed so much back then. The Living Tombstone's passion does not disappoint, even now. Best of luck with your current and future projects, Gents.
How wonderful. Ordinary Life ages like a fine wine. I am quite different from the version of me that first fell in love with this, and with my development I have gained new interpretations to dwell on. The depth of care and self that was required to construct this piece moves me.
i love reading deep into the lyrics... there’s such a rich value in them and no matter how you look at it, i feel you could find something new if that makes sense
Finally someone who shares my passion, one of the biggest things I look for is how much effort the artist actually put into the lyrics it's like a poem, you should be able to look through all the lines and find a meaning behind it that isn't obvious
"They tell me Jesus walks, I tell them money talks." "Touch me, Midas, make me part of your design." "They tell me I'm a god, I tell them I'm lost in a facade." This song is so powerful.
@@astro-nate6848 This song is about the life of rich famous celebrity's, at- least I assume. When you're a celebrity you have many fans. And maybe you get a crush and want to date them. But there are many other celebrity's who would like to date you, even if you don't want them to. If you would date one of your fans you would get hate. That's the dilemma.
Damn. The last part really hits hard, the whole symbolism of the fact that they were in a race and that they were in last place and had gone the wrong way, yet still made it to the finish line. Again, damn.
Yeah, and the realization that the colorful characters we see in the game are just more vibrant versions of the actual players; they idolize what they could be, but they're chasing the wrong thing- going the wrong way. It's all about the dehumanization of people once they arrive at fame, and once you find it, you'll wish you never had.
"Touch me, Midas, make me part of your design." This lyrics is so cool and i like it. Note: For those who doesnt know what does this lyrics mean, he says that he wants Midas to touch him so he can turn to Midas' design which means, "gold". Everything that Midas touches turns into a gold.
And because of his greed his Wife and daughter turned into golf stautied and so did the butler's and guards and everyone and everything around Him, thankfully he didn't touch the continent or else Europe and Africa and the Middle East and Asia would become a gold he'll haha
wow, you guys are dark. this is just about becoming a celebrity and turning incredibly vain as a result. "touch me midas" means he wants to be wealthy and idolized, like a gold statue of himself. "i feel fear for the very last time" means his ego has become so great that he no longer feels doubt despite deep down believing that he shouldn't think this highly of himself. being "unable to touch" just means he can't really connect with anyone anymore because he's too full of himself ("untouchable"). "if i fall i think i'll fly" means any mistakes he makes will be aggressively denied and/or justified by his legion of fans, because they idolize him and want their mental image of him to remain perfect against all logic and reason. the end represents how even if he does everything horribly wrong, he still feels like the winner because he's living in a fantasy.
@@thebestfontever Bruh tell me how "World is, below. So far up, I'm near Divine. Lean in, let go. I feel fear for the very last time." Doesn't sound like someone jumping off a building.
I love the reveal that they were so high, in every sense of the word, they didn't realize they were always going backwards, the wrong direction. Fantastic metaphor.
I understand that this is a great song with a deep meaning... and its 7 years old, but imagine how bad the suspension on that 1960s or something Cadillac has to be that it literally spins and jumps into the air on a tiny rock, like that cant be legal.
Midas is the old king that made a wish to a Greek god that everything he touched turns to gold. He says "Touch me, Midas" in the chorus. I think that's a pretty cool detail.
if you guys haven’t seen the real meaning of this song, it’s about how people who get famous(mainly music artists) and feel like how everyone around them just sees them as gods instead of humans. so it’s not about suicidal stuff but about being so self centered because everyone just lets you and contributes to it.
And then feeling like you’ve been set on such a high pedestal that its scary to look down, but you’re curious, and when you look down you realize how far away you are from everyone else and that thought makes you sad so you ignore it and wait for life to pass you by.
It sounds stupidly obvious at first but its basically saying when you become powerful and idolized, "untouchable", it also means you become isolated and can't relate to or "touch" anything or anyone.
this song reminds me of that feeling when you have to say bye to your online friend’s but lurk in the gc for a while, and it dies very soon after you leave. Basically that feeling of “they need me” “im important to hold everything together” “they dont deserve me” but when you come back tomorrow you crack a joke and the gc dies, essentially ruining that feeling
Well, I think the lyric “six feet off the ground at all times” means that they perceive the “ground” as six feet under, meaning that they think that they should be six feet under. Which of course, is death.

God the line “it hurts me just to think but I don’t do pain” is so iconic
yeah, I love that line a lot. even without the context it's a great one
The wonderful world of drugs
Yup
The irony is a strange one ngl
Try "when you become untouchable you're unable to touch"
i love how the chorus gets darker and darker the longer you listen. at the beginning it just sounds like he's unaffected by negativity, and is generally doing well for himself. but as the song goes on, you kind of start to realize that the lines indicate him committing suicide, especially as the song begins to talk about losing touch with reality as a result of being famous. like "i feel fear for the very last time" sounds like a positive thing, as in he's not afraid anymore. but as you listen to the chorus again, you kind of realize that when you commit suicide you certainly must feel fear while doing so, and it's not like you're gonna get a chance to feel it again afterwards.
welp, you sire have misenderstood, its legit a song about the drugs and not suicide, overdose is a suicide but most of the time not intentional

“When you become untouchable, you’re unable to touch” TLT just made a Pumped up Kicks level song-
“Just made” lol.
TRUE
Also how does pumped up kicks have anything to do with this?? One is about a school shooting and one is about being lost in fame. I don’t see the connection at all.
@@pepeke7027 Pumped up kicks is not about school shooting, Foster the People don't play that song anymore bc everyone keep saying that and they got really mad, so they ban the song
Akun Senpai Ok, i’ll play. It wasn’t about a school shooting but Mark Foster stated that it was in reference to shootings due to an incident that occurred in January 2010. Regardless, the songs are entirely different, and I wasn’t too far off in my judgement.
Edit: also the reason for it being banned is false. They didn’t get angry over the false interpretation, but it was banned because of its violent nature. Also, they don’t play the song anymore; not because they’re upset about the false interpretation; but because “It’s like pushing your song in somebody’s wound - I don’t really want to do it. And so yeah, it’s something that I’ve been wrestling with.” -Mark Foster. Given that, there’s a high indication that your reasoning is by no means correlated, since their decision is based on it being somewhat hurtful and repetitive.

Here’s something stupid you probably didn’t need to know.
The Japanese voice at the beginning is saying “Alright, let’s go! Rock, paper scissors!” And is from the anime “Nichijou: My Ordinary Life”. In fact the melody of this song samples a track from that show

I think this song is deadass just about a musician (prolly the living tombstone) who through his successful music career has built a god complex to cover up low self esteem and mental illness and eventually they mix, leaving him feeling like he is above fear and death as he becomes more suicidal
maybe, and then the other animals like the whale are trying to stop him from committing from suicide. the giraffe and the rhino are toxic "friends" who push away others and make the lion more suicidal. then the finish line at the end might mean the lion has commit and the "wrong way" means that suicide is never the answer.
I’m pretty sure your right, I read somewhere that the song was about Yoav’s life, which correlates to the name of the song “my ordinary life”.
@@valensioc suicide is the question and the answer is yes (atleast for me)
thank youuuu! I got the notes of suicide, but I was wondering why that was the only thing people were talking about. Your comment sums up what I got out of it quite nicely.
But that's just a theory A GAME THEORY
"when you become untouchable you're unable to touch"
That lyric hit me like a brick
same here
How, it doesn’t make sence
TheFunGod If you can't be touched, then you can't touch, because you're untouchable
The Ramenator I know what it means but just like what does it mean in the real world now
People can't touch you. You're too popular. They can't hurt you. Too many people praise you over the people who want to tear you down.
But at the same time, due to your fame, your image, you can't reach out to anyone else. Reputation won't let you. You can't talk seriously.
I think that's what it is. And I can see it a bit, if it is. Most of the comments on the video aren't commenting on the message of the song. Possibly don't see it. An attempt to give a comment on a problem in a song and people just kinda pass it by.
I think the two best examples I can think of actually is, one, he could just lie about some things, and people would just follow like sheep because he's famous and they admire him, they refuse to see him wrong. Which kinda leads me into the logan paul situation, with the dead body and all. Apologizes and takes the video down, and people are still telling him he's right, he should keep it up, the REST of the world is wrong.
His fans won't listen to him when he tries to be genuine, show he made a mistake.
That fame from his fans. They can't be penetrated. Nor can an actual message get through them. Can't reach out to them. Can't touch them either. I just assume this because of the lines earlier "They let me lie to them, and don't feel like they've been mislead" and "No matter what I make, they never see mistakes"
But there's no guarantee. These are just my thoughts. I think other peoples thoughts on the message gathered would lead to a more accurate assumption. Hope I helped, at least!
this is such a good way of describing how fame can easily change a celebrity’s humanity and compassion.
Facts
Sorry to be dumb but what part of this has fame involved?
@@wailingchildsad520 try to understand 2:09 onwards
@@wailingchildsad520 also at 2:28
@@wailingchildsad520 It’s fine! The lyrics “It’s cool but I don’t see them laughing at my money though. They spitting facts at me, I’m spitting tracks, catch me? I’m spitting gold out my records, know you can’t combat me.”, “Making so much bread, I don’t care that they’re being fake”, “Can you heal me? Have I gained too much? When you become untouchable, you’re unable to touch.” The musician just wanted to be well liked and admired by popularity and their “friends” doubt and Misbelief them AT FIRST. Sooner or later they get famous and unfortunately, they got an excessive self-importance, needing for admiration, and lack of empathy. A bit of infinitesimal hate can lead to their breakdown like the lyrics “The haters wanna hurt me and I’m laughing at the pain”. Their difficult career, alcohol abuse, and money problems shown in the video are affected immensely from their narcissistic god-like disorder. Def one of my fav songs, Sorry for making this very long haha.

@@elokin300 Yeah, that's what I interpreted it as.
Midas is a legendary Phrygian king who is given the power of turning everything he touches to gold.
I love the fact that even though this song has an original intending meaning by TLT, it can be interpreted in many different ways. Whether you think it's about imposter syndrome, suicide/mental illness in general, the god complex and fakeness that frequently comes from fame, a combination of the above, or something else entirely you really can't say it's a wrong interpretation. That's what's great about music and this song displays that so we'll alongside being incredibly catchy and well written.

I like how so many people have their own interpretations of what the song is about, depression, fame, mistakes, some combination there of and some totally different. I think thats how its supposed to be with impactful songs, it can speak different messages and touch people in their own way.
For me, it kindof reminds me of the idea of being depressed and suicidal and noone around you sees it, they think youre doing great, and you just keep acting like its true because you dont know how to ask for help or dont want to bother them. The goofy video with the unsettling ending and the cheery tone against the darker lyrics sortof give me that vibe.
yeayeayea that's the point i love how its not obvious and its meant to fool you into being charmed by the bright colors and bouncy rhythm. Even the lyrics are sugar coated and everything in the song is a metaphor for something darker. Its so addicting and I'm so in love with the complex themes.
this is the thrill i live for. there is always something that the community finds in the artist's songs, always a portion that really impacts them, this song does that and so much more.

@@zonked.1522 exactly my thought
In the beginning he's brash and has the attitude of thinking he's perfect, and all the people around him try to tell him he's doing things wrong, then later in the song he fills the people around him with yesmen, and he realizes that he's emotionally a fraud, and can't get out of the box he's been put it. He wants perfection so bad he wasn't true to himself, so he went too far. "Touch me Midas" line is a good analogy for that. He sealed himself in gold externally, but inside he's still broken and unhappy.

wow, you guys are dark. this is just about becoming a celebrity and turning incredibly vain as a result.
"touch me midas" means he wants to be wealthy and idolized, like a gold statue of himself. "i feel fear for the very last time" means his ego has become so great that he no longer feels doubt despite deep down believing that he shouldn't think this highly of himself. being "unable to touch" just means he can't really connect with anyone anymore because he's too full of himself ("untouchable"). "if i fall i think i'll fly" means any mistakes he makes will be aggressively denied and/or justified by his legion of fans, because they idolize him and want their mental image of him to remain perfect against all logic and reason.
the end represents how even if he does everything horribly wrong, he still feels like the winner because he's living in a fantasy.

Yeah, but he regrets it after he turns his daughter to gold.
I'm into this types of stories lol
@@youtubesicka4636 i thought he turned hus wife?
@@lemongrassarch1432 oh
if you guys haven’t seen the real meaning of this song, it’s about how people who get famous(mainly music artists) and feel like how everyone around them just sees them as gods instead of humans. so it’s not about suicidal stuff but about being so self centered because everyone just lets you and contributes to it.
Trueeee
yes this it is
Your right but people can and still will interpret it the way they want.
Yeah the artist even confirmed it on tiktok
And then feeling like you’ve been set on such a high pedestal that its scary to look down, but you’re curious, and when you look down you realize how far away you are from everyone else and that thought makes you sad so you ignore it and wait for life to pass you by.
Everyone in the comments: *talking about the songs deep meaning*

*"when you become untouchable youre unable to touch"*
What type of dictionary is this and *WHERE* can I get it????
ikr
It sounds stupidly obvious at first but its basically saying when you become powerful and idolized, "untouchable", it also means you become isolated and can't relate to or "touch" anything or anyone.
@@thepurpleshard no that doesn't work here
@@thepurpleshard no, wormvortex is explaining why it works, not because he doesn't get it
@@forbiddenfursona ok.
1 Year Anniversary and I'm still addicted to this song.
Nomis same
Lol right man
Yup
:0
Saaaaaaaame
this song reminds me of that feeling when you have to say bye to your online friend’s but lurk in the gc for a while, and it dies very soon after you leave. Basically that feeling of “they need me” “im important to hold everything together” “they dont deserve me” but when you come back tomorrow you crack a joke and the gc dies, essentially ruining that feeling
That's so specific and happened to me so many times
Ee
why is this so specific and why do i relate
Bruh whatever makes u sleep at night I guess lol
I don’t want to ruin you guys trying to summon a demon cause it’s 444 👁👄👁

@@frossplays3539 stolen?

Yes
"If I fall I think I'll fly"
I'm pretty sure he just jumped off a building
then he thinks when he dies he flies into heaven.
so high up I'm near divine(heaven)
If you don't know, this song is about a guy with depression that's on a edge of a building about to commit suicide.
@@vermilion2680 or hes just stupid and thinks he can fly
@@spindinswans9091 sounds about right
“So high up I’m near divine.”
Well shit...
I feel like an English teacher trying to find deeper meaning in this song
Literally, relate T-T
Well, I think the lyric “six feet off the ground at all times” means that they perceive the “ground” as six feet under, meaning that they think that they should be six feet under. Which of course, is death.
when nichijou
Same ;-;
