    Maynard said in a acoustic session explaining this song “I had a friend who had some chemical problems. i ended up meeting his brother and his brother was so out of touch with what he was going through....so this song is kinda sung through the perspective of the brother who doesn't understand what his loved one is going through and in a way has no compassion for what he is going through...this song is called the outsider because that brother is standing on the outside of a understanding and doesn't get it. this song is from the perspective of someone who is ignorant and doesn't have the time or patience to understand what their loved one is going through." Very VERY good call on analysis.

      That song came up in my random mix just this morning on the way to work. One of my favorites, just the *crunchiness* of that riff - I don't know if they have distortion on the bass or what. Important thing to note though - all the songs on this album are about drugs including this one. It sounds political but isn't. They did make a different mix of this song, intended more as the political version.

      @lewismaddox4132 2 года назад

      If Matthew and juggalo weren't writing loud enough, I would really encourage you to take a gander at that rendition of "Orestes" from the Stone and Echoe show. Remember his mother, Judith, was paralyzed for nearly 30 years. Paralysis is not a stagnant condition. Spending decades with your entire body atrophying causes a dynamic, not just musculo-skeletal but a degeneration of the internal organs as well. A slow and quite painful degradation which his mother probably didn't complain about but was plain to her son.
      Orestes is the myth of a son who kills his mother to avenge his father. While that's is not the motivation that comes into play for Maynard, certainly a contemplation of euthanasia must have crossed his mind and I interpret this song as reinforcement of that theory. How many
      people are living in pain because their families struggle saying goodbye?
      The first time I heard the live version of this song from Stone and Echoe I thought, "This might very well be the most beautiful music I've ever heard!"

  • @2fourdeeSX1
    @2fourdeeSX1 2 года назад +17

    One of my favorite albums, great song. Love Gravity!
    Y'all are right that it's from Maynard's perspective of "the outside looking in", also drugs specifically addiction. This whole album is about addiction, the different stages/process of addiction, even the 12 step program, hence 12 songs & album title 13th Step (also about the 12 steps). In this song Maynard sings about being an outsider to someone who's addicted, Maynard has never been addicted so he doesn't understand why someone would do this to themselves. He does this by expressing his frustration & anger. In interviews, he's mentioned his late friend Layne Staley from Alice in Chains. Discussing Maynard drawing inspiration from Layne's addiction & ultimately his death. Also your point about the song helping people, Maynard has said those things "I do want to help people who are on that borderline, who might hear a song and go, "You know what, I think I want to try to live.""
    Really the whole album is great!! Love when you guys get this excited about a song!

    My favorite APC song by far, especially that last bit where everything gets super heavy. But the lyrics really put this song over the top - where it seems like Maynard is critiquing depression, he's actually calling out people who misunderstand depression and Maynard is critiquing that stance, the stance of the outsider.
    Here's the quote from Maynard: The lyrics to "The Outsider" at face value, are in judgment of a potentially self-destructive or suicidal individual, though Maynard clarified that the song's message was meant to be a criticism of people who do not understand the struggles of people dealing with depression, saying: "[In] the case of "The Outsider", it's sung from the perspective of a person who doesn't understand at all what their friend is going through, what their loved one is going through, and they think that it's more like a sprained ankle; they can just kind of walk it off."

    APC's "The Thirteenth Step" album is about the 12 steps of Addiction Recovery (i work in addiction recovery and personally 14 yrs sober myself so this album has a lot of meaning to me). Each song corresponds to one of the twelve steps of recovery with a "bonus" final step. While people have many different objects of addiction, the behavioral patterns are always similar, to the point that learning about the programs can be beneficial even to sober, healthy people.
    A "bullet" is drug slang for a cocaine vial, you've probably seen them in movies, the type that people wear disguised as a necklace or w/e to go get a quick bump in the bathroom - though the "Russian Roulette" double entendre is likely intended as well. I'll leave it to others to get into more specifics because learning about this stuff is half the fun of this type of high art.
    On an unrelated note: When are you going to react to Legend of the Seagullmen?
