    His lyrics about "brain was enflamed the fatigue was crushing, hard to remain sane when your brain's combusting" hits hard, because he's talking about encephalopathy. We didn't know but for the last 18mo before my father passed, he had developed hepatic encephalopathy. He was erratic and apparently sent my sister a very hurtful letter despite my knowledge of how much he missed her and how he didn't want to die for the first time in 30 years because she gave him grandchildren. It was like we lost him before he died.

    The elastic band line hit me particularly hard because I interpreted it as the self harm treatment psychologists recommend; basically you snap an elastic band on your wrist to replace the desired pain of cutting. Honestly he's one of those artists that makes every line count, there are countless lyrics of his that I constantly think about and it's easy to see why. Man's a genius.

      He has the gift of making his songs relatable on so many levels, making it specific and evocative while still being open to interpretation. He often says he doesnt over explain his lyrics so people can put their own interpretation and apply it to his music.

    Sting once said that one thing he's always done right is consistently surround himself with and work with the best available talent. He said it in a somewhat self deprecating manner, but he definitely has always had a knack for putting together the right group of people to take a seed of an idea and see it to artistic fruition.
    I feel like Ren has got that same knack. And here in the 2020s with an independent artist who has to understand platforms like youtube and how to harness the visual elements and the ways that marketing and music criticism have changed too, beyond "just" the writing and the playing and the recording/production - Ren and his team have done so much powerful work on such a shoestring budget.
    As a team, they are just so incredibly good at using whatever "natural resources" are available to do storytelling that is so powerful visually, sonically, and lyrically, whether live or on wax. And talk about the role of youtube - masterful. He saw the importance of reactors and - so critical for a lyricist like Ren - he ended up developing a great working relationship with the goat of the youtube breakdown format (that's you, Knox).
    Maybe Ren finds the best talent or maybe those people are drawn to him or maybe it's a combo of things, but i am so impressed, over and over again, and i can't help but be reminded a little of Sting and his dexterity and adaptability and fearlessness and acumen and how he ends up with the absolute best personnel for the project.
    (And the playing - y'all ever tried to sing and play a rhythm instrument at the same time? 😅 Not easy. Just the skill and practice that have gone into Ren's ability to play this stuff at all and never mind perform it live is just ❤. Actually that's another thing he has in common with Sting come to think of it...)

    Woven throughout this song is a callout to Sting's song "Shape of My Heart." Sting's lyrics call out the Jack of Diamonds, the Queen of Spades, and a King of an unnamed suit. It connects them to their tarot roots.
    The Jack correlates to the Knight of Pentacles--a person who is diligent in their work ethic. The Queen corresponds to the Queen of Swords--a person who is intelligent, and who can use strategy to turn adversity to their advantage. Both of these describe Ren well.
    The King's suit is not named, and this, too, fits Ren, because he has not reached his final incarnation.

    Knox, you commented on it. I noticed it right away as well. They ran the red light. Now ask yourself…Does Ren do anything by accident. He puts a lot of thought into his imagery and symbolism. I know his videos are one takes but how hard at such an early point in the video would it have been to time that light…the FIRST one…and hit it green…I posit not very difficult. Leaves me to think it was deliberate. Why??? What is the video about. How is illness shut him down. How is illness Stopped him…but he pushed through. The Red Light was supposed to stop him…but he pushed through. Symbolic gesture ???? Serendipity ???? Reaching too hard for metaphor ???? I leave that question to minds smarter than mine.

    Just like each person has their own breaking point but each person (especially those who are susceptible to it like those with mental health issues) has a breaking point different each time. 1 day you can manage things that the next day you can't. That's OK cause you did your best. If you can say you did your 100% it doesn't matter if your 100% is another person's or another days 20%. In your situation at that time your 100% is as much as you can give and that's OK. Trust me when I say it's NOT easy to go easy on yourself especially when you don't understand what is going on but if you can do that it can help you.

Ren did it after so many times finding no answers from numerous doctors, his body was dying and his mind snapped into full blown psychosis after he became allergic to the latest fecal cell transplant treatment. An old tv he smashed apart and grabbed thick glass the size of a knife and stabbed himself than dragged it across his chest. He could not tell what was real anymore and wanted the pain to see if he could feel it. Chapter 4 or 5 of his life story.
