Ren posted this a few days ago: I expected a split reception on masochist, I'm glad I got it I wrote the song on a day in 2021 I felt particularly bitter about living in a sick body for most my life, about anger at the greed in the music industry. Killing everything you know, even your support systems is also about rebirth, some people will have caught the Samsara line and see a man cursing the gods for the hands hes been dealt, others will see it as a track that’s just being vulgar and dark for the sake of it. It's all of those things.
American here- I get we are sensitive to this stuff for good reason, but I think that dark humor comes from healthy catharsis in art and claiming that darkness so you can 'keep control' over it. This song was 🔥🔥🔥
My friends know well enough by now that my humor runs pretty dark, as does theirs, so we don’t have to filter around each other. But I have to remind myself when around people outside that circle that way too many people are actively looking for a reason to be offended. Great reaction ❤
Yeah... Older USA fan here and I personally think there is no greater overall musical talent in the world today than Ren! What kills me is how the USA feels they are so progressive in the music scene but time and time again they are so late in "getting it" when real talent hits! America! Why dosent Ren have a top 10, let alone a number one hit on your charts!? Its a damn shame! Yet again, late to the party!😴

If there is a higher power I was angry at it for making me this way. It wasnt a middle finger to anyone of faith like you took it. Its about my own relationship. Sometimes its easier to believe nothing has a purpose because it helps rationalise the constant pain my body feels.
