I initially made this in response to a analysis, decided it needed its' own comment (If I ignore something it's because I don't think it's entirely relevant)
I Believe this animation is about self deceit and the loss of people or opportunity because of false personas. This is because of the combination of the lyrics and the animation coinciding heavily, with the character tending to specifically mouth out words of the song.
The character is the one speaking at the start, tired and ragged underwater (Underwater meaning she's under pressure and is sustaining problems), stating something lazy being willing to leave their lights on (Burns electricity, makes it harder to sleep, generally doesn't seem to care, she's too tired to care).
First appearance of cacti, and a single balloon. I think it's hard to interpret what this means right now, and will touch on it later when the other cacti come up.
The next scene is darker, getting lunch, seeming to enjoy it, then being dragged down after a set of eyes appears within ramen. This could be from things like ptsd and etc, but I think it more deals with guilt or feeling out of place in the situation. She still obviously enjoys the ramen, but when she's being looked at, or starting to enjoy herself, she drowns. The character repeating the lyrics ahh man, sad about leaving that enjoyment.
The lyrics now state, "I think that I like you" During "I think that" the character is looking in the mirror, with the person looking seeming tired, worn down, and the person looking back being confident, bold, etc. Showing a split in the character and how she perceives herself. With the name of the song itself being Two time, we can connect the dots and assume a bit that the character is holding up the name a bit. (Now having two selves assumingly with one who's faking). Next the lyrics state "I Like you" which we are greeted by one of the things that made her feel like she was drowning, she is covering her mouth, "Like" is being scratched out. The character regrets saying this, having had it come from a part of herself she doesn't understand or respect. Assumably being her reflection, someone strong and confident being able to say the words not realizing the effect they will have.
The effects of her words and the symbolism behind the cacti start to make sense now. 3 Balloons are seen, with one cacti, after another voice replies "you do?". The character states "yeah" causing the balloons to back away from the cacti, showing that this persona is causing the loss of opportunity and potentially friends or loved ones, it scares them, it seems wrong or out of the blue.
"But something bothers me bout the way you lick your envelopes so!" This is where the meaning of the animation can completely change. If it does stay true to the lyrics, the character is analyzing the person they state they liked overly critically, finding something not to like, the other side of their persona taking over and deciding they don't like them. (Two timing the person). This would make the envelope licking scene is about how the character themself licks envelopes weirdly (Who the hell licks an envelope like that), and proves their being overcritical, unreasonable. If not, it becomes much more about what the original post stated.
"I'm out on the block again, so hopped up that I can't pretend" "Two Time!!" The character has returned to doing something, being hopped up on something (presumably her tendency to self deceive herself into having a persona that she doesn't like Two timing herself) Unable to pretend, it shows that she's sad, unable to hide how she feels in the moment, laying on the floor not caring about staying current in her life. Depressed. Her persona showing again, proclaiming her vice "Two Time!"
Next we learn that they stay friends, seeing a pinky promise. I see this as the character over criticizing after declaring they like them, then deciding to stay friends, but not happily, unable to decide whether or not they want this person. This obviously hurts the character "Problem that you can't defend", the character being unable to find something that can stay with them, as their constant playing drives away relationships that she both does and does not want according to what mood she's in. She scratches the cactus, and frowns after happily waving, showing the disposition between acting happy in her persona, and having wants she can't get filled.
She then asks if someone is ok, she herself having a gaping hole in her chest. Two timing herself asking something to another in hopes of gaining something she wants, that she herself will stop or take away. Lacking, and caring for others, even though she may actively be hurt, or regret it.
"Whose heart could I break today?" She can't stop two timing herself and by association whoever gets too close.
This line is what drove me to think this was it in the first place. "stay friends" This line is showed again, but the artist has friends disappear and "stay" become underlined. The thought that she just wants someone to stay, but they never do. The balloon being in her reach after it usually is too far, is spikey and harms her, going from something to chase, to a reason to be sad. This and the mirror scene I believe really make this relate closer to the lyrics, wanting someone to stay, but being unable too because of a persona that differs from when she's alone.
Reinforcing that "Problem that you can't defend" reappears with the character seeming younger, with pigtails, the problem having been there for a long time, other people not being willing to work through the two timing and stay with her period. (A nonsensical hope, but it's still present). The character is still covered in bandages, hurt from her self deception crying, unable to keep something because of self sabotage.
I take this as the character displaying she was initially hurt by being unable to having someone stay because of who she was. This gave birth to a persona that is able to get people close, but is a curse of itself, also not letting them stay long. I think this animation conveys the songs lyrics by showing two timing as being as personal and external pain. Making the person two timing feel insane because they can't control a part of themselves, and the person dealing with being two timed feeling as if they are dealing with two separate people. With the character saying two things at different times. Getting balloons only close enough too not pop, the distance being a pain that the character deeply regrets.
… thank you so much for your thoughtful analysis!! I'm so happy you people try to put my art into words, I feel much more understood!! I'm glad you brought up the “stay friends” part since that was the scene I related to the most when drawing this!! ^^
this. is. amazing.
was not expecting that lmao
woah!
Dang impressive!!!
Your style, coloring and composition are amazing: they are expressive and so pleasant to look at. You are a huge inspiration. Thank you for sharing your art
no replies on a 3.1k likes comment?..I've fixed that issue!!!!!
@@stevekwun thank you!
I thought it was weird that it has only 2 comments. But then I remembered that the previous guy had written a poem and I realised that maybe everybody was just to tired after reading his theories to write something.
Damn it, that bastard influenced my way of writing.
They didn’t make the song. But yeah I love the style
This helped.or inspired me to draw better to a style like yours : ]
I've seen many versions of this meme, but this one feels special. So many of these shots caught my eye, from composition to color. You can see where a lot of thought and care went- wonderful!
Holy shit, HI PJ!
hey pj!! i agree lol
Meme?
Meme? THAT'S A FUCKING SONG.
@@NihilTK read the title of the video
I cannot tell you how stunning this looks. The animation, shading, composition, color, meaning, it all works together so well and looks amazing. This makes me inspired to keep practicing animation more, you’re doing a great job!!
Это просто чудо!😊 Лучше этой музыки я не слышала.
this is so well thought out and so mesmerizing i love things with “decodeable” meanings, it just gives it a secret essence to discover and makes it all better. the colors, meanings, examples and artstyle are so gorgeous
The fact that someone made a long analysis of this animation meme is amazing. Great work!

Animatic
I don’t know exactly how to word it but this is so lovely???? Like, it’s not often a piece of media just like, speaks to me in a way I’m not sure how to describe, but you really did that with this.
Everything about your style, color schemes, and animation is just beautiful, i can tell you poured your heart into this and im so glad that i get to see a masterpiece like this. thank you for this :)
I really like how it’s different every scene and not so repetitive, which really makes it nice expecting something new happening next with its own meaning :)
Oufdhfh give me a second to recover because this is stunning
First off the colours are so soft and muted and fit the song so nicely?? weirdly enough??
And I absolutely love the way you draw the character - it's so simple and cohesive and nice on the eyes in the best way possible
Also the way you draw hair is lovely
And I don't know how to explain this one, but I really like how so many shots are creative and compelling in a way that goes beyond just being aesthetically pleasing (which they still are). Like the underwater train?? The disintegrating umbrella? The letter falling through the door onto her face??? And oh god the cactus shot is incredibly cool and the "you ok" is hauntingly beautiful and I am.
simply running out of words to do you justice
I just think it's quite difficult to come up with unique storytelling within the constraints of an animation meme and you do it so so well
Anyways, suffice it to say I am entirely delighted by this in its entirety and I hope you know you're incredibly skilled at what you do
HAFHGSHHF WOWW, IM SO HAPPY YOU LIKED IT!! ^^ I'M GOING TO CRY WHAT
This is what keeps me motivated to draw and improve, I’m glad you enjoyed it and took your time to analyze it!!
fucking epic
you're an insanely talented artist and animator but man your directing skills are actually insane, like the aesthetics and composition of everything work so well
This animatic really captures what Jack stauber is know for so well, it’s complex and detailed with meaning in every frame while still being a very beautiful and enjoyable experience, even if, like with staubers works, the meaning might not be obvious on first inspection, not to mention the animation is so fucking good like god your understanding of 3 dimensions and color realy shines through this is so good seriously I can’t stop watching it
I am especially attached to 0:29. It really hits me hard
She's hugging the cactus, which symbolizes acceptance to the pain she suffered. She even tightly grips it, as if she forced herself to accept it. Her stale face also imply that she gave up resisting, as she piled her raw emotions inside her chest
It's... not the good kind of acceptance. It's a moment when you realize that hiding your emotions is better than releasing it. It affects you very bad emotionally, since it just means when your emotions went overload, it all blow into this one angry mess, deteriorating you mental health more. I have this point of view since junior high, and oh boy how easily I go emotional.
I rewatched the animation plenty of times, but everytime I see the particular scene I just cried a little. Maybe it felt so relatable for me, or maybe I'm just over interpretating it.
Anyways, good animation 10/10
Wow. That was a really nice and impressive analysis
English teachers be like:
She is clinging quite tightly to her pain. She cant let any of it go, as much as it leaves her battered and bruised. Those memories are all she has left of what has now passed. It's really quite evocative imagery, the way she's quite happy to hold it at first. Then almost tears away at it.
Its interesting to consider just how the cactus itself is a beautiful metaphor. She becomes like one herself. Prickly on the outside, and hard-shelled, in order to preserve all her watery insides from the harsh climate of the outer world.
I used to be like that too, until one day, I just became numb. I can't feel anything even if I wanted to, even in the face of actual, tangible tragedy. And like you said, the suffering is all you know, especially when it took over half your life, all of the important years that were meant for finding your purpose. All of those years were spent in misery. You learn to accept it when it fails to destroy you.
Nah, she just likes the cactus
The way the animation leads your eye to the next shot
is nice
that's the only thing that I usually try and find now after watching
a specific video on how to lead your viewer's eyes to an animation
to make it more fluid and more lifelike
It's pretty cool
Why you write like that? You want to feel special or something?

ive rewatched this so many times, youre amazing! i hope you keep making these :D
I keep getting this video on my homepage, and every time I do I watch it a couple times on repeat. IDK exactly what I love about it, but I do truly love it.
yeah same here, idk why I keep coming back to it haha
GUYS… I HIT 100K SUBS! THANK YOU SO MUCH… IDK WHAT TO SAY-
congratulationn oon the 100k subs
CONGRATTTSSS
I just watched your vid 2 mins after you commented this, congratulations!!
Congrats :D
😎
Your artstyle is so relaxing yet dynamic - And your characters are so refreshingly simple yet uniquely recognizable! It's so nice to watch :'D
This is amazing. I have little else to say aside from that I love this aesthetic and it's paired with the song so perfectly.
After so many times watching those over the last few weeks that I have lost track I feel like I need to give due compliments. I love the way you do transitioning and imagery and completely ADORE your artstyle, I just feel like I can't ever get enough of it.
I love your art style so much and the development through this animation, with the cacti and balloons, genius!! your drawings are just so amazing I want to screenshot every frame to appreciate it fully! even the little movements like the lollipop to the mouth are done so well, you’re such an inspiration!!!
Your art style is fantastic!! Everybody is unsure about their own creatives, but the thing is it's easier to see how beautiful it is from an outside view ;)
I absolutely love the style and details in this animated short, you really feel the sharp abruptness in parts and the pop of color in others. Animator you really made me feel something watching this, thank you. It’s insane, but a fat high five to the one who made that analysis
I enjoy the different color schemes you use, they’re all so gorgeous and soft, and the animations are so creative and beautiful. Youre truly a one of kind animator
The metaphors and composition is so beautiful I swear
I am in LOVE with this style!
The meaning and the imagery are fantastic!
i love your artstyle and the animation! keep up the good work crymelt❤
This animation is the first video I’ve seen from this channel but I couldn’t help but get so confused by its symbolism. Coming back to see the essay analysis helped me pay a little more attention and appreciate art more than I thought I did. This channel is pushing me to create something of my own, I think this marks a new beginning for me. I may become a happier person after discovering this channel.
made a few comments on this video already but i keep thinking of new stuff to say
(like right about now) edit: i love how the lyrics are written in this video, especially in 0:34, breaking the heart makes it feel so smooth! (if that made any sense)
Good luck with your new beginning ^^!
@@crymelt thank you! this is going to be a great year
I love your art style, it's the perfect level of detail. I especially like the part with the magnifying glass. Thank you for sharing with us. This inspires me, I hope one day I'll be able half as good as you.
This is one of my favorite Jack Stauber songs and I love how you continued the story and made it your own. I really love the symbolism in this with the cacti and balloons and letters and all of it. Great job.
I'm in love with your artwork, keep the good bro ❤
this is so gorgeous I love what you've done with the composition on this !! >>
As a random ass girl that can't draw, I am absolutely obsessed with your art style, coloring, animation and overall every single thing in this video
I love everything about this video! The colours, the emotions, the scenes, the art and art style, how it flows so well with the song!!! I love replaying this ☆
This so beautiful i love this work so much and i can see how much time and effort you put into this and i somehow feel realky connected to this
Man I saw this video yesterday (when it came out) in my recommended and fell in love with your art style, I know everyone has been saying it but the expressions and the cuts and all of that just looks really nice. I’ve always wanted to try and get good at drawing but just haven’t had the motivation, but seeing what I could create with a couple years of practice and now I’m going to try and get serious about this. But enough about me and back to you, the animation is just amazing, my favourite scene is probably the one where she says “two time” and the claps syncing with the music. I have no idea why I like that scene as much as I do but it’s just so crisp. You’re really talented at this, keep it up!
ahh, thank you!! Practice depends from person to person, I just think I had high expectations, especially at the start so I would try animating complicated stuff a a beginner… which isn't a good learning process... so uh, remember, health comes first, but I definitely recommend challenging yourself!
good lucks!!
@@crymelt thank you for the advice! I have big ideas for things i’ve always wanted to draw/animate, but I think I should start by finding some semblance of an artstyle, haha. I hope you continue to do well and create more of these amazing animations, watch out for your own health, too. Like you said, health comes first
@@crymelt "health comes first"
Fighter reference ?
This is so beautiful as always, I admire how clean everything looks as well as that gorgeous color palette... I have no words to describe how much I love this!!!
I love the animation also, it is really smooth, the expression, the artstyle and how original is the imagery!!!!
sorry, I know it's quite long but there is just too many things I love from this
I love this art style. It's pleasing to look at, the colours, face shape, eyes, nose, animation. Beautiful.
this was the FIRST animation meme i ever watched!! thank you for making this masterpiece!
potato
thank you for the analysis
....that was impressive, i'll be sure to strive for your writing skill
Im not gonna pretend like I read all of this but from what I read this is very well thought out and based on the pin possibly correct. Props to you and good luck on your geography homework!
You should change your profession to journalist wow like wow
I didnt read it all cause im doing my homework too right now but the start got me like “Damn 😳 im starting to admire this person’s existence”
love your analysis
This is so beautifully done and fits in with the timing of the music so well. Also reflects its theme and really builds off it beautifully. You created a whole microcosm that sprouts out of a few vague phrasings. The artstyle and the choice of symbolic imagery is all quite captivating and evocative.
This really makes me wanna dabble in animation.
I love this, it looks fantastic! I don't have a deep analysis to give, but this is a very visually pleasing creation and I'm so glad you made it
this animation feels sooo nostalgic for some reason, btw well done! You managed to express visually the lyrics perfectly!
Your art is so beautiful like holy shit makes me want to cry you’re so underrated
Just wanted to applaud you for how amazing this animation is, and how it is able to convey so many emotions in such a small period of time. It feels oddly nostalgic to me too, keep it up :)
Your art style is beautiful in it's own unique way. This inspires me ❤
This is so good it actually has animation and it looks so natural ! I also love the colors you used. And it has many different sences!!
Holy crap this made me feel things. The song is really good and your animation syncs up with it flawlessly, your style is cute and the imagery is both kinda creepy in it's surrealness but also kinda nice. The subway underwater especially, very trippy. The art is fantastic too, expressive and pleasant to look at.
This makes me wanna draw again. Thank you
oh my god i literally aspire to be able to animate like this, the art style it self is so unique and amazing, but the animation quality ties it all together, i hope you can fulfil whatever your goal is with animation.
the amount of times I've rewatched this is crazy, and each time I love it even more. your animations and art are seriously so cool and the song is my favorite artist? 10/10
Love your sweet, cute and aestetic art stile. Im happy you make animations!
Your art is so amazingly beautiful. Something about the colors and shading used makes it feel almost like…what things used to look like to me when I was a kid I guess?
Like the colors themselves seem even more beautiful than usual.
You have a genuine and unique style. Don’t let anyone lead you astray from your hearts intentions with your art.
Your style, from your color choice to your eye design...something about it induces an emotion I cannot process when combined with Jack Stauber.
It's like a combination of relevance, manufactured nostalgia, and just a deep seeded need to befriend a non existant person who's suffering. This girl in the animation doesn't exist yet I feel like I must give her a hug and say "things will get better soon."
The best part? I am all for it.
Love your art style so much!!!
Wow. I have never seen an artstyle like this before. Yet, its one of those artstyles that captures that chillhop/anime vibe.
your artstyle is beautiful!!! it doesn't matter if it changes, it's part of the process ^^
lowkey down bad for ur oc o//o
that lollipop part o////o
I love the way you play around with lighting, colours and the bg's !!! they're so pretty and it makes it very visually pleasing !it also adds to the metaphor behind it which if i had more time i would psychoanalyze (lmao)
i love how when each scene changes, there's always somehting from the previous scene in there. lovely lil touch
you're doing great, keep going crymelt
HEHEHEH STOPP ^////^ THANK YOU!!
I'm absolutely in awe of how smooth and pleasing to the eyes your art is! It all flows together so well with the colour palettes and and scenery. The first bit that really blew my mind though I have to say was the bit at 0:02
my god this is amazing i love the art! and the animation is rly nice!
THIS IS SO AWEASOME WAAA!! :OO
this is the first video I've seen by you, it's an absolute masterpiece omg. I love the colour palette that you chose, and the whole animation is just so pleasing to watch! I swear I could just screenshot each frame and make it my wallpaper forever. thank you for sharing this with almost 100,000 of us :)) definitely earned yourself a subscriber
YAY another animation!! youre style looks so flawless honestly, your ideas for animation memes are so creative and new i love it!! this is inspiring me to draw outside of my comfort zone lol
the backgrounds and enviornments also caught my eye, so nice!
this feels so fresh, the cacti, letters, colour pallet and lineart! its amazingg
also your animation is so smooth
been 10 months and I'm still coming back to this. It scratches a very slecific itch in my brain.
It's sooooo good! 💖
Love this style! The art paired with the timing is what really keeps pulling me back, though-- short, snappy, in sync moments, smooth movement, mood contrast. I just keep rewatching. :)
i love your animation style and i love the music choice! you are so expressive with your art and your colors are well done! you are such an inspiration!
edit: i forgot to mention how much i LOVE the scene with the mail and the door, its so creative and i know that perspective, *especially* animating from that had to be difficult and it turned out so COOL
I don't know why i have a deep feeling of connection to this piece of animation.I have a deep feeling of appreciation for this. Everything about it takes me away ,Thank You.
Omg I love your art style and this animation it’s just wow you’ve got my sub 🤩
Your art style is so cute and relaxing. It's got this nice chill aesthetic for it while conveying a deeper message. Well done and I'm excited for more
i'm really watching this in loop, this animation is cativating with the music and the tracing is perfect
Sameeee
This looks amazing! I really like your art style!
One of the beautiful and majestic piece of art I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Deserves to be in the best museum ever
Everything about this is perfect. From the art style, to the colors, to the animation ❤
Your art style and animation are so pleasant to look at! Good job. The imagery is so deep and emotionally-charged.
Okay, idk, I love it. I'm trying to explain it logically but there's just so much visual and audial candy I'm just
the art style was magnificent love to see more of this
Wow! I love this! The animation is so smooth! But what I want to congratulate you on is the storytelling; I have never seen this character before, I do not know who they are, but now I have seen this animation and it makes me able to empathize with the character and the setup would make any viewer care for, and want to help the character though whatever they are struggling with. Amazing job!
I SUCCEED LETS GOOO!! (THANK YOUU!)
GODD every single frame in this looks so pleasing!!!! the colors and perspectives are amazing,, i especially love the paper falling on her face
Your art style is actually so beautiful.
That smile at the "Two Time" as much as sad it's really charming. I just can't tell why.
there is no way you could be unsure about your own art style, I ADORE it, literally one of the rarest and unique style I've ever seen.
Your art is so cute and meaningful and good looking, while maintaining a beautiful color scheme! It’s driving me insane that this is so underrated
Wow, the art style is super cute and the visual depictions are incredible. Most videos like this I see don't capture that artistic side of things nearly as much, so this was an awesome watch.
Man, this animation is S M O O T H the way you... Idk its really good and the first time i watched this i knew it meant something serious
I love the symbolism that you use in this video, very well made, very creative, we need more talented people like you putting these animations too life!
this song pops in my head every now and again; and every time a scene from this video plays with it.
mood uplifted, seriously, this video is so rewatchable. thank you
HOLYYYYYY I LOVE YOUR ANIMATIONS SO MUCH THESE ARE AWESOME
OMG I love your style, this animation is amazing
Absolutely gorgeous animation, combined with a deep meaning behind the animation, and the fact that it also suits the song despite having a story over it. Impeccable!
There’s a theme of past difficulties in the first few scenes like the train and such, but I’m really interested with the scenes about letters and envelopes. She licks the envelope then looks at the camera, seemingly nervous, then the truck scene, with what look like letters flying out the trunk, this could be in reference to the past where she used to give out lots of messages and now only sends very few, then she’s laying by the door letting the incoming mail land on her, yet she doesn’t open them. I think this shows her removing herself from those that care about her, or enough to send a letter. The cactus them might represent a harmful relationship? As the other balloons (friends?)are driven away, she stays, enduring the pain, covering them with bandaids and hugging the cactus. None of this is for certain I just thought it would be fun to try to decipher it
hehe, I'm glad you chose to mention the part about the letters and envelopes, I think those scenes are one that I thought the most of! ^^
your art style keep bringing me back to the video, insanely good work, please keep animating
there's something very comforting about this, and all your art really, that keeps me coming back
Smooth, pretty art style , nice coloring and deep meaning. Perfect
This animation is just amazing in general. The style and colour palette is just so nice. It gives a comfy feeling but the pictures makes me a bit uneasy in a good way (if you get what I mean.) the animation is stuck in my head now. The art is beautiful, and in different parts of the lyrics there is a new part instead of the animation being repeated. Keep up the good work!!
I absolutely love your art style and just want more of this.
This is so cool!!!! The feeling it gave me and everything, I just don't have words! I LOVE IT :DDD
the song hits so much harder, when its not only feeling nostalgic because of the general feeling of the song, but also feels nostalgic because it is nostalgic and makes you think about the time you first heard it
what a beautiful animation!! very talented, my inspiration
Wow this video was really pleasant to watch and has a lot of great animation!!
i love the style so much and just everything about this its wonderful.
