I had this in my Watch Later for years. In that time I acquired and left several jobs, reached my 30s, shared 5 years of my life with a lovely woman, lost her, became mortally dependent on alcohol, and have been sober for over a year now. I'm getting ready for work at a position I was promoted to several weeks ago and I thought myself when this video popped up again: "Today is the Day"
This video is like looking into someone else’s dream. It all probably makes sense to them but to us onlookers it feels like a random stream of consciousness
From what I gather, the story goes something like this: The foam man is not happy with his life, so he carves out a new version of himself in the shape of a tombstone to symbolize the death of his previous self. His new self is much happier with his life, but parts of his old self still linger around him, he then notices the old parts of himself and indulges in them, essentially watering the thoughts. as time passes, he adopts those thoughts into his new self, letting his old self slowly take over. Eventually the parts of his old self rips his new self apart, and in that moment the foam man realizes that he can only be himself and comes to accept who he is.
@@juckya9660 that gives it a new meaning! And I think this is actually what the creator was going for. The foam man tries to rebuild himself and come to terms with his past self, but kinda fails. I now feel exposed. It's too similar to me.
If I were to interpret a message from this it would be “coming to terms with the parts you don’t like about yourself, and accepting them”. “Today is the day” perhaps is the big foam guys day that he decides he’s going to change and be a different person (for whatever reason) so he literally cuts the pieces of himself he does not like. emerges a dopey looking foam chunk that is smoking and stuff, and then the other bits of foam. Then he is dragging himself into the woods perhaps meaning he is lost. In the end he combines with his traits he does not like and even though it looks weird, he comes to accept those parts of him and moves on..or it could just be a random thing someone decided to make hah.
@@Minisoderr that's true, but to improve the bad parts of yourself, you have to accept them as a part of yourself first. Plus, not everything you dont like about yourself is automatically a negative trait or even can be worked on
I just came across this today for the first time ever. It's frickin 16 years old. I'm old enough to remember a time before RUclips or the Internet. Wtf RUclips?
This was uploaded on the 4th of February 2008. The song being used in the video was released on the 25th of January off of the album "Deathconsciousness" by Have A Nice Life, who were at the time virtually unknown, as it was their debut album. Since then, the album has seen immense underground success. The uploader of this video was WAY ahead of the curve. Respect.
I came to comment exactly this. I was so weirded out when I saw the this video somewhere else with the HaNL music, even more when I saw the date lmao And I even knew the video because of a gif but didn't know A Quick One was the soundtrack for it
RUclips is weird, it keeps old videos until it suddenly recommends it to everyone at the same time, or sometimes it recommends everyone random videos from hours or even minutes after it's upload
The fact that this is 13 years old makes it so much better. It's like living in a house for 13 years and then one day discovering a secret room. It's been here the whole time, but you've somehow only just found it. There's something really unsettling about that to me, which adds even more creepiness and intrigue to the video.
@@isaiahp.4609 if we could make the trash videos invisible so we could see the good ones, just like those minecraft videos with the invisible cobblestone
@@nathanmcgill7249 If you look at it like that RUclips may as well be the bureau from Control with how unfathomably massive it is and with the way it changes its policies every now and then.

@@succulentravioli954 first, something that is cursed doesn't mean that it can't have meaning. Second, this has literally no meaning apart from intending to creep you out. i dare you to try and think of a valid metaphor that all of this video represents without any holes. some things are meant to simply exist y'know. look at the forums this was initially posted in.
@@earthpcCHClS What I said may have been ambiguous. I meant that it is not cursed from my opinion, not that it is not cursed because it has meaning. I am no literature expert, but there can be many metaphorical things that can pulled out from this, even those that aren't intended by the author. The eerie music paired with the scenes isn't something you'd find with conventional comedy. We can conclude that this piece's context isn't for humor, but for some other purpose. Did author take their time to make this to express some kind of emotion or message? And what kind of emotion or message? I'm not someone who is good a metaphors, but I can surely justify that this video has other meaning than to portraying cursed emotions.
"First we see a man, but it's not just any man, rather it's a man..." pause for 5 seconds to pad the length "...made out of foam... Next we see him in a different place, but... foam can't move on its own... right? But he had to get here somehow... We just don't know enough yet, but keep this in the back of your mind for later..."

I remember seeing this video many, many years ago but had no idea about have a nice life, when i finally got around to listening to deathconsciousness something got a strong hold over me telling me this album was one that'd stick with me forever. i didnt know itd stick because of a video of a foam dude though
Back then, albums would leak ahead of release dates. I mean I don't doubt that still being the case today but streaming music has really made me not force myself to look for music leaks.
when this video comes back into your recommended, you just have to click on it because its that compelling. it seriously beckons you into its house, but instead of its house its your finger making contact with your screen to click the video. think of it as modern hypnosis.
RUclips for no reason: "We know that this video isn't related to anything you've watched over the past 5 months, but here is it anyway, Today is the day."
how i see it, i cut a part of myself out pretending to feel new and whole, feeling the past is behind me and stopped existing, but it’s still there and alive, it’s never gone. and no matter how differently i try to look at my past and deal with it, it’s still there. it’s always there. the part of me that i cut away is still always me, and i’ll come to terms with it.
i had a dream yesterday about how people send their consciousness across the ocean in electricity by wires to be put in different bodies but then some wires leak and the consciousnesses mixed together and all the souls were destroyed
@@johnchambers3312 time is something humans made, so without us there would be no time and there for no one could ever come to late anywhere. So for al the animals that get too their work late now, pls go back to monke or get ya ass out of here, cause your confusing everyone.
the song used in this video is " A Quick One Before the Eternal Worm Devours Connecticut" by Have A Nice Life, which trips me out because this video was uploaded exactly 11 days after that song was released.
God I remember this. Shit man I miss being a kid on what was a dark and lonely ocean of the internet, playing halo with my friends. Talking about all the shit that happened at school and how much teachers sucked...damn man I miss those days
I can second that. I used to be so carefree and the clasclown. Now I'm a private first class in the united states army, persuing my career and working hard to feed my family back home.
I know right, like why am I being shown this, am I getting something from this, or what's the deal. Maybe when I understand the message I'll become a transcendent being.
truly the definition of ‘art should comfort the disturbed, and disturb the comfortable’. don’t know why youtube decided to recommend me this, but it feels like some sort of checkpoint. might stay here for a bit
Idk how "up to interpretation" this is supposed to be, but to me, it reminded me of how much of my life has changed since becoming a dad, and how overwhelming it is when you realize that your whole being has morphed beyond recognition in an attempt to bring to life what your mind conceptualizes as the ideal parent figure, whilst failing miserably to reach the expectations you've set for yourself. It's like an added layer of failure and self loathing which is heavier than the previous layer that ends up being trapped deep inside you but somehow is able to crawl back outside for mere moments, forever tormenting you at the most unexpected times.
@@Desyrel.I'm sorry my friend. I know I'm just a stranger and this will likely be our only interaction over the course of the trillions+ years the universe has been, but just so you know I feel for you and I wish you the best. If you're ever up for reading a book, maybe give "peace is every step" a chance. I think everybody could benefit from taking some time to practice getting in touch with one's breath, enjoying a nice walk, or just sitting and doing nothing and feeling the restless internal energy slowly come back together and whole from a scattered state. Hope that's not too preachy or something, that book got me started 13 years ago on proper self care that changed me.
To me, this tells a story of a person who is unhappy whit himself. So one day he decides to start over and be a different person. So he cuts out his core and throws the rest away. Be he starts missing parts of his old life so he takes those parts back and cuts of the leg from the old body. But these parts of himself (his old habits) start to take over with the help of the little paper people (his subconscious thoughts) and kill his new self, and he eventually goes back to the way he was stuck in a neverending cycle of self-loathing and guilt.
i think its about big man cut himself to make little man and then big man make littler men and they kill medium man and big man kills all of them and absorbs them
@@hat4621 but when big man cuts medium from little just when medium get bigg, then what if absorbing is just for littler man and none of big???? then is a draw
@@crazyBelluz wait big man cut into small men and small men get big in water but small men get absorb in big man so shouldnt big man be bigger man since little men got bigger
Here ! I made a comment that describes how it made me feel.... It’s sorta like, clinical depression, going into a deep dive of paranoia and dementia, and general insanity, and the toilet paper telling them what to do was a metaphor for corporate America telling people what to do, at the expense of there own sanity and life...... foam man will follow whatever the paper tells him...... he has become something other than himself.... he has split his mind and body.....
It makes me feel, that is all. It gave me a feeling I have never felt before, one of confusion, but deep understanding. I felt the pressure the foam had undergone in the video, though I don’t have a clue what it was stressed about. I felt the strongest feeling I know, the understanding of the misunderstandings you have about what you just saw.
Dunno if the uploader still sees comments but i think this is a lovely project and it has moved me to tears. Reminds me of the poem “The Morning After I Killed Myself” by Meggie Royer The morning after I killed myself, I woke up. I made myself breakfast in bed. I added salt and pepper to my eggs and used my toast for a cheese and bacon sandwich. I squeezed a grapefruit into a juice glass. I scraped the ashes from the frying pan and rinsed the butter off the counter. I washed the dishes and folded the towels. The morning after I killed myself, I fell in love. Not with the boy down the street or the middle school principal. Not with the everyday jogger or the grocer who always left the avocados out of the bag. I fell in love with my mother and the way she sat on the floor of my room holding each rock from my collection in her palms until they grew dark with sweat. I fell in love with my father down at the river as he placed my note into a bottle and sent it into the current. With my brother who once believed in unicorns but who now sat in his desk at school trying desperately to believe I still existed. The morning after I killed myself, I walked the dog. I watched the way her tail twitched when a bird flew by or how her pace quickened at the sight of a cat. I saw the empty space in her eyes when she reached a stick and turned around to greet me so we could play catch but saw nothing but sky in my place. I stood by as strangers stroked her muzzle and she wilted beneath their touch like she did once for mine. The morning after I killed myself, I went back to the neighbors’ yard where I left my footprints in concrete as a two year old and examined how they were already fading. I picked a few daylilies and pulled a few weeds and watched the elderly woman through her window as she read the paper with the news of my death. I saw her husband spit tobacco into the kitchen sink and bring her her daily medication. The morning after I killed myself, I watched the sun come up. Each orange tree opened like a hand and the kid down the street pointed out a single red cloud to his mother. The morning after I killed myself, I went back to that body in the morgue and tried to talk some sense into her. I told her about the avocados and the stepping stones, the river and her parents. I told her about the sunsets and the dog and the beach. The morning after I killed myself, I tried to unkill myself, but couldn’t finish what I started.
"Why is this in my recommended?" Look man, you were the one who clicked on it, so the recommendation worked. Clearly RUclips knows something about you that you don't.
He thought his life would be better if he changed himself. When he did, he lost a part of himself he couldn't live without, and one night he realized that. He slept with the memory of what he was, and it haunted him. When he couldn't bear it, he looked for himself and he found it. The key was there and it was time (you can see these literally in the video). And so he came back to his senses.
His children helped him find the pieces. His facade broke after they'd grown up, when they seemed so alien to him. when he was reunited with them, everyone wore a mask, but they were shed after some time. Then he was able to become whole again and free his children from their alien nature.
what about his children turning into monstrosities? What about him tearing himself in two pieces? Cutting legs off? Small, paper humans? Face turning into a clock?? Many eyes appearing on your neck??
@@dawidek4267 It's hard to say if the children are even his offspring, they could just symbolize something else completely. Notice how they're gone as he's restored or that could even symbolize the innocence from children and parenthood restores something in you. Paper humans may be tied into theological meanings (angels?). Face turning into clock representing time troubling you, time is of the essence and you're changing with time. Many eyes appearing on your neck may be goosebumps, a telltale sign of worry.
There are probably thousands and thousands hidden artistic gems like this that have been online but very few people know about and even less people will ever watch it again. Let that go through your mind.
@@rebel6301 that ain’t a bad idea, we could make a website and find all these cool videos and link them there. And at some point even make an algorithm for cool videos.
I'm pretty sure he's trying to talk about how when an integral part of you disappears, like the giant hole of foam in the body-like torso, it never fully comes back, like in the end of the movie, where all the bits and pieces are there, just not magically reassembling, forever changed.

His new self is much happier with his life, but parts of his old self still linger around him, he then notices the old parts of himself and indulges in them, essentially watering the thoughts. as time passes, he adopts those thoughts into his new self, letting his old self slowly take over. Eventually the parts of his old self rips his new self apart, and in that moment the foam man realizes that he can only be himself and comes to accept who he is.

The weirdest part of this video is how this guy knew about Deathconsciousness only 11 days after its release
ikr lol
Wut?
I remember seeing this video many, many years ago but had no idea about have a nice life, when i finally got around to listening to deathconsciousness something got a strong hold over me telling me this album was one that'd stick with me forever. i didnt know itd stick because of a video of a foam dude though
Back then, albums would leak ahead of release dates.
I mean I don't doubt that still being the case today but streaming music has really made me not force myself to look for music leaks.

how i see it, i cut a part of myself out pretending to feel new and whole, feeling the past is behind me and stopped existing, but it’s still there and alive, it’s never gone. and no matter how differently i try to look at my past and deal with it, it’s still there. it’s always there. the part of me that i cut away is still always me, and i’ll come to terms with it.
This feels like a weird dream that you would wake up from in a cold-sweat in the middle of the night.
Exactly what I was thinking
i had a dream yesterday about how people send their consciousness across the ocean in electricity by wires to be put in different bodies but then some wires leak and the consciousnesses mixed together and all the souls were destroyed

I don’t know how or why, but I somehow relate to this video. It’s got a strange feeling of comfort
Yea
Idk how "up to interpretation" this is supposed to be, but to me, it reminded me of how much of my life has changed since becoming a dad, and how overwhelming it is when you realize that your whole being has morphed beyond recognition in an attempt to bring to life what your mind conceptualizes as the ideal parent figure, whilst failing miserably to reach the expectations you've set for yourself. It's like an added layer of failure and self loathing which is heavier than the previous layer that ends up being trapped deep inside you but somehow is able to crawl back outside for mere moments, forever tormenting you at the most unexpected times.
@@Desyrel.I'm sorry my friend. I know I'm just a stranger and this will likely be our only interaction over the course of the trillions+ years the universe has been, but just so you know I feel for you and I wish you the best. If you're ever up for reading a book, maybe give "peace is every step" a chance. I think everybody could benefit from taking some time to practice getting in touch with one's breath, enjoying a nice walk, or just sitting and doing nothing and feeling the restless internal energy slowly come back together and whole from a scattered state. Hope that's not too preachy or something, that book got me started 13 years ago on proper self care that changed me.

To me, this tells a story of a person who is unhappy whit himself. So one day he decides to start over and be a different person. So he cuts out his core and throws the rest away. Be he starts missing parts of his old life so he takes those parts back and cuts of the leg from the old body. But these parts of himself (his old habits) start to take over with the help of the little paper people (his subconscious thoughts) and kill his new self, and he eventually goes back to the way he was stuck in a neverending cycle of self-loathing and guilt.
so why it gotta talk to me like that
I was wondering what actually it meant and was thinking of something similar. Thanks for explaining it in detail
i think its about big man cut himself to make little man and then big man make littler men and they kill medium man and big man kills all of them and absorbs them

Here ! I made a comment that describes how it made me feel....
It’s sorta like, clinical depression, going into a deep dive of paranoia and dementia, and general insanity, and the toilet paper telling them what to do was a metaphor for corporate America telling people what to do, at the expense of there own sanity and life...... foam man will follow whatever the paper tells him...... he has become something other than himself.... he has split his mind and body.....
Confusion
Banana
It makes me feel, that is all. It gave me a feeling I have never felt before, one of confusion, but deep understanding. I felt the pressure the foam had undergone in the video, though I don’t have a clue what it was stressed about. I felt the strongest feeling I know, the understanding of the misunderstandings you have about what you just saw.

@@johnchambers3312 That's .... true.
Wouldn't expect someone with an UwU profile pic to say that
Dunno if the uploader still sees comments but i think this is a lovely project and it has moved me to tears. Reminds me of the poem “The Morning After I Killed Myself” by Meggie Royer
The morning after I killed myself, I woke up.
I made myself breakfast in bed. I added salt and pepper to my eggs and used my toast for a cheese and bacon sandwich. I squeezed a grapefruit into a juice glass. I scraped the ashes from the frying pan and rinsed the butter off the counter. I washed the dishes and folded the towels.
The morning after I killed myself, I fell in love. Not with the boy down the street or the middle school principal. Not with the everyday jogger or the grocer who always left the avocados out of the bag. I fell in love with my mother and the way she sat on the floor of my room holding each rock from my collection in her palms until they grew dark with sweat. I fell in love with my father down at the river as he placed my note into a bottle and sent it into the current. With my brother who once believed in unicorns but who now sat in his desk at school trying desperately to believe I still existed.
The morning after I killed myself, I walked the dog. I watched the way her tail twitched when a bird flew by or how her pace quickened at the sight of a cat. I saw the empty space in her eyes when she reached a stick and turned around to greet me so we could play catch but saw nothing but sky in my place. I stood by as strangers stroked her muzzle and she wilted beneath their touch like she did once for mine.
The morning after I killed myself, I went back to the neighbors’ yard where I left my footprints in concrete as a two year old and examined how they were already fading. I picked a few daylilies and pulled a few weeds and watched the elderly woman through her window as she read the paper with the news of my death. I saw her husband spit tobacco into the kitchen sink and bring her her daily medication.
The morning after I killed myself, I watched the sun come up. Each orange tree opened like a hand and the kid down the street pointed out a single red cloud to his mother.
The morning after I killed myself, I went back to that body in the morgue and tried to talk some sense into her. I told her about the avocados and the stepping stones, the river and her parents. I told her about the sunsets and the dog and the beach.
The morning after I killed myself, I tried to unkill myself, but couldn’t finish what I started.
That was beautiful, thanks for sharing.

He thought his life would be better if he changed himself. When he did, he lost a part of himself he couldn't live without, and one night he realized that. He slept with the memory of what he was, and it haunted him. When he couldn't bear it, he looked for himself and he found it. The key was there and it was time (you can see these literally in the video). And so he came back to his senses.
That make sense
That's sweet.
His children helped him find the pieces. His facade broke after they'd grown up, when they seemed so alien to him. when he was reunited with them, everyone wore a mask, but they were shed after some time. Then he was able to become whole again and free his children from their alien nature.
what about his children turning into monstrosities? What about him tearing himself in two pieces? Cutting legs off? Small, paper humans? Face turning into a clock?? Many eyes appearing on your neck??
@@dawidek4267 It's hard to say if the children are even his offspring, they could just symbolize something else completely. Notice how they're gone as he's restored or that could even symbolize the innocence from children and parenthood restores something in you. Paper humans may be tied into theological meanings (angels?). Face turning into clock representing time troubling you, time is of the essence and you're changing with time. Many eyes appearing on your neck may be goosebumps, a telltale sign of worry.
