The lyrics are literal. The visuals are metaphorical. This had nothing to do with suicide... The guy took a leap of faith to leave cyberspace and experience reality. The Warning, ironically, use social media better than anyone to addict fans to their music and their personal stories and charisma. Yet they warn us... Yes, put down the phone and enjoy the concert. The official video of a concert will be far better than what the smartphone captures. This song is amazing as the title track of their first album. They were 17, 15, and 12 at release! They just don't release bad songs. I sat down one afternoon a while back and played all three of their album CDs from start to finish. Wow.
Before he went offline, everyone could "see" him and did not bump into him despite wearing blindfolds. After he went offline they started to bump into him as if he was not there. He is so unfocused, disoriented, and dispondent... but instead of taking his own life, he takes a leap of faith to re-enter the world without he blindfold and in due course he "infects' two other people remove their blindfolds.I think the guy splitting ont he ground is more like what happens in The Matrix. So in effect, this was him completely unplugging. This is exactly what the enforcers don't want to happen and what their directors fear because they will lose control over the people. This is why the enforcers are sent to "collect" those who go offline and remove their blindfolds. They have to be removed from society or reprogrammed. Yes, pretty deep story for three young girls to come up with. I believe Ale was 10 or 11 when this was composed.
Not about suicide guys...the guy made a leap of faith off the building after "awakening" from the social media prison he was in, he survived and this is a Warning for all of us from these very young girls...message received. Thanks for your reaction.
They are the real deal... couldn't agree more 👍 And on the topic of mental health, these girls are so amazing, not only on their music, but also on being really nice persons and showing how you can be a top class rockstar while still being joyful, kind and level-headed, that they are also healers of the soul. This band has helped me a lot through some difficult times. Great reaction as usual. Cheers!
El rock de The Warning es tremendamente adictivo ,un rock moderno ,con poderosos riff, son tres excelentes instrumentistas y los rellenos de Paulina son poderosos y de calidad ,sin contar la tremenda base de bajo de Alejandra ,desde pequeñas mostraron su pasión por el buen rock, XXI CENTURY BLOOD es una muestra
Nice Reaction! One thing I noticed was the first guy in the parking garage that took his blindfold off, after he ran and they shot him, and they brought him back, he had one of the black blindfolds covering his mouth.
Hi guys, I heard your message to everyone, completely agree with you. Hang in there Sue, you have one of the greatest gifts anyone can have, that being the love of music. Thank you both and keep on playing. Cheers.
Title track to their first album, released in 2017 when they were 17 15 and 12. Written and recorded a year or so before that. Ale had to miss part of school to record the album, she missed part of the 4TH GRADE. Yeah, you got the message of the song. 2 teens and a preteen writing a song with such a deep meaning that most their age would never even consider. 🤘🤘From what I heard, the guy taking off the blindfold in the parking garage in the beginning is the director they hired for the video. The video for Noise by Nightwish has a similar message. But TW's XXI Century Blood came out 3 years before Noise. Together forever with the paperboy? Does that mean you got a free newspaper for life? 🤣😁
👍👍Nice introduction. So many people struggle and although I never have, I know people who have. I know it may seem trivial, but I believe that the "right" music can brighten our mood. This is a great performance. 🖖❤
Great intro, so very important to let people know they have someone, somewhere to go when it seems like they are completely alone in their feelings. Thank you for your insight and caring. Great reaction, I’m sure TW wants people to talk about the video and its meaning and you did just that. Thank you for your reaction and support for mental health awareness.❤
Funny you said that about recording something & ending up missing the event… my niece took her boys to see the eclipse & of course was recording them & taking pictures & her big takeaway was she barely got to see it herself & totally missed the experience of it.
Hi Suesue and Wolfman. I'm planning to see the girls in Calgary with Evanescence and Halestorm on October 18th. Heart will also be in Calgary on November 29 and I want to go but I'm still deciding.
This fantastic song and genius video still don't have a million views and should be over 10m by now! Thanks for the great reaction and comments.
Simply a masterpiece!!! You are so right.

I agree with your interpretation.

Back then, SueSue just wanted to be all over the news. 🗞
A great commentary on technology and media consuming your life. Taking the blindfold of , everything became color and more beautiful.
It’s The Warning giving everybody a Warning
Exceptional video by 3 very bright and talented young ladies .
Look for the Baltimore show last year (2023)
XXI Century blood was the jar song, which besides a rehearsal, they hadn't played it in 3 years
Thank you for your remarks about mental health. I always enjoy your insights and charming personalities.

One of several TW songs on the same subject - XXI Century Blood, Z, Disciple, Kool Aid Kids.
So much love to you both.

That was special.
