Thanks to all who joined the premier and chatted! I will definitely keep doing this for future videos - I enjoyed hearing your thoughts! Please keep them going in the comment section!!! So much to unpack in this video!
Narcissista and 6 feet deep are both little glimpses into the lives and challenges of these three remarkably gifted women.
Yes! They have overcome so much to be where they are today!
I find it very refreshing that every official music video they’ve put out has a theme completely different from anything previous. The easy route would be to go back to the well again but they’ve never taken the easy route. They purposely surround themselves with people who can help cultivate the girls creativity. Six Feet Deep is definitely an award worthy work of art. The entire Keep Me Fed album is a next level effort that should propel them into the mainstream.
Thanks Nena for all the work and careful thought you put into your TW videos!
You are very welcome, Randy, and I completely agree with your thoughts! Their videos are next level and show creative genius. It is an absolute joy to analyze their work as everything they put out is so enjoyable and impressive! ⚡️😊🤘🏻
From XXI Century Blood to Six Feet Deep. The Warning music videos are always cinema! 🙌
Totally agree!!!
You are a beautiful island of smart thoughts in the ocean of meaningless reactions.
To me, the chains represent the strength that keeps them well-grounded, one of the main characteristics of this band and their team.
Thank you so much, Juan! And I love this theory about the chains! ⚡️
This band. Rock music had no idea how badly it needed The Warning.
Yessssss!!!!
This video is brilliant. I think that the threats to the girls by the entity were very personal. Pau"s drums were smashed and she was told to shut up. She was an ADHD kid, talked alot and was told to be quiet by outsiders. Imagine if she had. Ale was shy and she felt secure and powerful behind her bass. Taking that away could have destroyed her. Dany suffered from writers block and questioned her abilities. U CAN'T came from the inside. I believe that these are the personal demons they have exorcised. These three confident, professional, powerful women are who they are today by not giving in. They are my favorite band, not only because of the music, but because of who they are.
Has she come out and said officially that she had ADHD? I’ve always wondered that because she and I have the exact same personality type and I also have ADHD. Either way, so glad you enjoyed the video and I think you have some really outstanding thoughts here!
And like you, I love them not just for their music, but also for who they are as people!
@@psychologyofrockI think so. Something like that. In a recent interview,,, not sure which one
If you run across it again, please let me know! Very interested!
She definitely said it, but I didn't get the impression that she had actually been diagnosed as ADHD. Maybe I'm wrong, but It seemed she was using the term as a descriptor (as people do in pop culture), rather than an actual diagnosis.
The best video from The Warning deserved the best analysis, you did it .
Thanks a lot
Thanks so much! Their concept for the video blew me away!
Glad you are back! 😊
When the knife flies at the wall it splits a green apple, which could be a fun nod to Ale's clip, showing her splitting an apple in two with her bare hands.
I was speechless when she did that! lol! And thanks! :)
Instead of being a flashback, I think it takes place in the past and the girls spirits or ghosts have come back to protect their younger selves from the haters and/or self doubts. And the instruments are chained down so the entity can’t take them away.
Wonderful theory! ⚡️
Another great analysis video of The Warning. Love it.
Glad you enjoyed it! They really put so much into this video - it was an absolute pleasure to analyze! 😊⚡️♥️
💯!!! Great analysis!!! All of those themes are there. I do hope they win an award for the video.
I love your analysis of this one. It's such a good deep dive. Regarding the chains: I'd note that it's their *instruments* that are chained to the floor, not *them.* My interpretation of that is that they're preventing the instruments from being *taken away* (as they were in the flashback scenes). So, I interpreted the chains as a *positive,* rather than as a negative :)
Wonderful distinction, and fantastic theory! ⚡️
That was how I took it too, on my second or third watch: a "you can try, but you're not taking the music away from us" message. BTW, loved you juxtaposing the old shots, especially showing how their old clothes were recreated for the video.
There are so many things I hadn't even noticed in the video. It is so Cool to see how something small and almost hidden can be a symbol of something bigger.
I think the part where the floor closes in on the monster and some things come back up symbolizes the band wanting to hold on to good things from their past while burying the bad, and also moving forward.
Yes, I agree! Great theory!
I didn't realize this video I love is actually that deep. Thank you ❤
So glad you enjoyed it! ♥️⚡️
Did you notice that, not only did the camera pick up the image of "The Entity", but it DID NOT pick up the image of Dany, who would have been at least partially in the shot. Things that make you go "hmmmmm".
Interesting, Scott!
Glad to see you reacting to this, in depth! I think the circle of candles was signifying a seance to draw the entity out where they could destroy/bury it, for good. Remember, later on in the video, that's the exact spot that the entity, now confused, and covered in their childhood articles, is drawn into it's permanent grave while stripping off their memories, and sticking them to the ceiling for later use.😉 Just my 2 cents..
The amount of effort and thought that went into this video is astonishing, and like you mentioned, it is rife with 'Easter eggs', even a couple from other videos (i.e. the blue roses from Que mas Quieres at 9:02). For a second around 9:16 you can see the handwritten lyrics were actually for 'Six Feet Deep'. I'm still kicking around ideas for what is the meaning behind their invisibility at the end, and the cracking mirror, etc. Knowing them, they'll probably keep us hanging like they did with the contents of the 'box' at the end of Que mas Quieres!😂😍👍👍👍
Fantastic comment and observations, Dan! I completely agree! And I actually missed the blue roses! Great eye!
Your analysis never seize to amaze me. The details on this music video were sharply thought, and a major mark regarding The Warning's current phase. The maturity level of the Villarreal sisters is evident throughout KMF, congratulations Nena 🤘🏼😊
Thank you so much for your kind words, my friend! This video simply blew me away - The Warning is on a completely different level!!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Loved your analysis. This song and video really connects with me.
I would love to see it nominated for a VMA.
They connect with me too! Totally agree they deserve a VMA!
Hi Nena.
This is my interpretation…
In this thrilling music video, Dany, Pau, and Ale become ghostly apparitions haunting a hater who has tried to sabotage their musical dreams since childhood. The hater performs a witchcraft ritual, writing "DREAM" on the carpet surrounded by candles, hoping to destroy the band's success. However, the tables turn as the band emerges as powerful spirits, confronting their bully with supernatural strength. The video combines intense visuals, a powerful narrative of revenge, and empowerment, showing that true dreams can never be crushed. The Warning’s music and resilience shine through as they triumph over negativity and continue to pursue their passions. 🌟👻🎸
Great theory! Love it!
@@psychologyofrock 👍🏼
😊🤘🏻
It was worth the wait...great analysis as usual Nena! I love your voice and how you describe things. Cheers from CDMX!
Thank you so much! Very happy you enjoyed it, Alfredo!
Thank you for another insightful analysis!
So glad you enjoyed! :)
First of all, thank you for the deep dive into this video! I listen to a lot of rock and metal bands and The Warning have become one of my favorites as of late. What really stood out for me is when you pointed out that the outfits the girls are wearing as their younger selves were the ones they wore on the Ellen Show many years ago. The Warning are masters of song dynamics and the interplay of quiet spaces and loud rocking out moments and they pull it off effortlessly. Their videos are really cool interpretations of their creativity and Six Feet Deep is no exception. The detractors of their early years and the self-doubt they may have felt are huge catalysts in this video. The trajectory of this band has been straight up, especially with the release of KMF this year. 2024 is their breakout year and all that hard work and sacrifice is starting to pay off. I completely agree with you about them winning a VMA with this video, it is that good.
Well said! This video is mesmerizing!!! Glad you enjoyed the analysis! :)
Brilliant analysis. I share your assessment that it represents, in part, the putting rest of their own self doubts. Likewise, I think you’re right that they are drawing a line in the sand to say we are adults now, not children and we want to be free to address adult topics that concern us now. If someone asked me to come up with an adjective to describe them as artists, “intentional” would be one of the first things to come to mind. The choice of the lyric “greedy little fucker” was not accidental IMO, but another deliberate symbolic choice on their part.
Oh yes, I agree completely. Love putting this as "drawing a line in the sand" - well said!
Whatever these sisters put out never fails to move me. We are all blessed to be along with them on this ride. Thank you for a wonderful and entertaining analysis. ⚡⚡⚡
Very glad you enjoyed it! :)
Excellent analysis! As someone who has followed them and their rise for several years, I have always been struck by how emotionally attached we, as TWA, are to DPA. It’s such an uncommon phenomenon in my experience but a symbiotic and beautiful relationship.
Yes! It’s easy to get emotionally attached to them because they have such exceptional personalities. I hope that this symbiotic relationship helps fuel their journey, even just a little bit :-)
@@psychologyofrock I believe it has. They have shared themselves, their time and work product, and remained so authentic and thankful throughout their journey and that has built an exceptional following where fans support them, etc. It’s something the world could learn and benefit from.
Yes!!! ♥️😊🤘🏻
Great analysis!
Spectacular MV and awesome powerful song!!
Viva The Warning!! ⚡⚡⚡
Yes! They just keep raising the bar! :)
I thought the chains were so the poltergeist couldn’t smash any more instruments.
A very plausible theory 😊⚡️
@@kennethhanson560 also being chained down signifies that you are not going anywhere and will not be moved or removed.
Awesome breakdown! This song and video are masterpieces!
Yes! Totally agree that they are masterpieces! So glad you enjoyed the video!
Good work!! Like +1
Thanks, Rick! 😊🤘🏻
Another outstanding analysis of our favorite band. I think your spot on on all points. Thank you.
Thanks, Ted! Very glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent analysis that brings up a lot of points I hadn’t considered. 😎👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for being here! :)
Outstanding reaction. I think you nailed it entirely. When the album first came out, I suggested that it was a loosely another concept album which gave me some push back from a few TWA members. However I think it is in the context of being an autobiographical expression which are the points you highlighted without coming out and giving it that overall theme but containing the sub-themed elements you detailed. Six Feet Deep, Sharks, and HYCAD definitely have tie-ins with each each other with the lyrics and video. One other interpretation at the end where their reflection doesn’t show in the mirror could also be that they have yet to be recognized as a band as a whole yet their music, symbolized by their instruments in the reflection, is now getting noticed. That may be a very deep interpretation but certainly it applies to their latest exposure that we’ve seen through their interviews, awards, commercials, sponsorship, and satellite radio, multiple national cable & network TV appearances. I would love to hear your lyrical analysis as well next. ⚠️⚡️⚡️⚡️
I really tend agree with you. While they perhaps did not set out to write a concept album, we see a lot of themes come up repeatedly in this album - clearly the things that they are dealing with (or working through) in the present moment. Despite some people saying that this album is lyrically inferior to previous albums, I disagree. Maybe they are using words that are more simple or direct, but they are describing very profound experiences and deep subject matter. I like your interpretation of the lack of reflection in the mirror! Lots to think about!
@@psychologyofrock Pau actually said in one interview that lyrically they chose to be more direct. That they normally are very metaphorical in their expressions but just like with the change in sound, they wanted to be more straightforward. As usual The Warning stays unpredictable enticing each time as to what’s next. It’s quite ingenious even more so if it’s by design which I personally think it is. Just another Beatle-like quality of presentation of songwriting styles of variation.
Indeed!!! :)
You deserve so many more subscribers! Your content in analysis are always top-notch
Thank you so much, Nico! I appreciate that! :)
Great analysis, Miss Nena. In numerology, 9 represents memory, which is on point. It was nice to see them younger, as I only found them through you.
I hope your move went well! Have a good week.
That makes me so happy that you found the band through this channel, Ronald! Nine representing memory is interesting!
@@psychologyofrock I assume through your analysis that they had a way different sound when they were on Ellen. Much like another band whose sound changed after their first 10 years.
great analysis as usual !!!!!!
Much appreciated! 😊⚡️🤘🏻
As always, another great video from you, Nena. I didn't know the significance of the candles around the Dream carpet, but what you said about it maybe being a "circle of protection" makes a lot of sense. Also, please do a deep dive into the lyrics. I'm always eager to hear your thoughts. Love your channel and keep up the good work!
So glad you enjoyed, Brian! I think I will do a lyrical analysis on this in the future. I’ve heard a lot of people saying that this album doesn’t have the lyrical depth of previous albums, but I actually disagree. Maybe the language itself is more simple, but, I think what they are saying is very profound!
@@psychologyofrock Well, I don't know what those people are talking about but I agree with you. There is a lot of depth in the lyrics and I have to admit...I think this is probably their best album. At least it can go neck and neck with Error.
I agree! But honestly, I have loved every album. Admittedly, I was a little skeptical about what the new album would sound like after they released the song “More”, as It is my least favorite song they have come out with. As they started to release the other tracks on the album, however, I got really excited. They just got better and better, and the actual album is a complete masterpiece. It’s fun watching them grow and evolve and try new sounds, and the other beloved albums won’t disappear 😊
@@psychologyofrock I think every album is a masterpiece. They do get better and better and what's really exciting is what will the next album sound like. Hopefully we won't have to wait two years but in the meantime we have four incredible albums to listen to, and let's not forget about Escape the Mind. For their ages that's pretty great too.
Agree completely - Escape the Mind is exceptional for their age (truly!!!). I'm really enjoying Keep Me Fed and seeing all the footage of the incredible things they have going on right now. Amazing to see them finally get the recognition they deserve! :)
one of my immediate theories and implications from SFD was definitely in the circle with the word “DREAM” in the center. I thought of their song Hell You Call A Dream, which made me think that they were pulling the ghost into hell. It doesn’t hold much meaning, but I thought it’s a cool little add to the story in the music video.
Interesting theory!
Great analysis once again, Nina. I think the message here is defeating the nay sayers from their past and perhaps even from present day as they are poised to be recognized as a household name. The nods to classic 80s horror films is a really fun way to tell this story or present these themes. The ending mirror shot to me is a nod to the Sixth Sense film, continuing the horror genre with a final message to the nay sayers that they will continue to haunt them through the rest of their career as a band, that nothing can or will get their way moving forward. The chains are saying that they aren't going to let their career be taken away or shaped by anyone.
Well said! Such a thought-provoking video!
"One" of my views of the video, of which there are many as you say open to interpretation, is that the actual girls never enter the house.
They've somehow set a trap (the dream rug) to entice the entity and end their struggle with their past forever and move forward.
In the first shot they're viewing the entire event from afar. Outside the house. If you look at the shelf where the SFD video is placed, there's 3 more videos with it.
Alfred Hitchcock's (Rear Window) which is a classic story of a man recording a murder from afar, on his camera from an adjacent apartment.
There's also (The Manchurian Candidate) which I'm not sure how it relates to the story? Some kind of preordained cause and effect thingy.
There's also a hand written video entitled (6 Anos) which could be the video of Ale, or one of the girls playing piano when she was 6 years old?
The opening scene is from the POV of the entity. He sees the girls' picture on the wall in their youth and is enraged (the growl) which draws him further into the house, then the music starts to pull him deeper into the house and eventually into the room where the dream rug is. He's covering his ears in the infrared cam showing his distain for their music. The girls' equipment is chained down just in case their whole plan to bury the entity goes sideways. He moves to the rug to stamp out their dreams and, well, we know what happens next. Before they close him in, they strip all their dreams and memories from him to take ownership of their childhood back.
I think as you said the final mirror scene is just a twist (as in Q+Q) just to leave the story open for interpretation and leave us wanting a Part Deux.
However we personally interpret the story, is exactly what TW have always done with their videos and songs. They enjoy seeing all our reactions as I've enjoyed yours.
It's always fun watching your psychological analysis....:)
Edit: If this video and the entire album aren't up for awards it's criminal.
Very interesting theory! Thanks so much for sharing! I definitely think the awards are forthcoming :)
!
Great Analysis as always, love it!! here is some thoughts of mine, the easter egg in danny's desk, cupcake = donuts, and the bride doll ref to "Que más quieres".- The chains i've seen it in two ways, as how music is what keeps them grounded to earth and to not let the evil take it away from them never ever. The toys and objets as a good memories of their childhood subtracting energy to diminish or make weak to this negative entity, and finally, i've think that the ghosts at the end are not only to show to the little DPA what they can achieve and become if persist with their dreams, if not at the same time, are the future selfs protecting and healing theirs inner childs from all that what they have to do and overcome all this time. :)
Love the idea that it is music that keeps them grounded! Beautifully said! Lots of great theories here!
On point!
Thanks, my friend!
Well said.
Thanks so much, Harry!
Thank you for the video as always, Nena! Big fan and you know it! ☺️🤘🏼⚡️🔥
To me their instruments being chained to the floor means that they are preventing them from being taken by the entity as it always tried to destroy them. As for for the meaning of them being invisible on the mirror, to me it means that they are not real in that particular time lapse, maybe because they are ghosts or maybe they are their future selves being called by their younger selves to defeat the beast that has been haunting them. Maybe young DPA called their future selves using this spell we see at the beginning of the video with the “DREAM” conjuring on the floor.
Love these theories! Always appreciate The Warning giving us so much to think about! :)
@@psychologyofrock ¡Saludos desde Monterrey! 🇲🇽🤗
:) waving hello to Monterrey!!!
Hey Nena, this was an awesome analysis as always ! Thank you so much 🖤 I've got really nothing to add from an analytical standpoint.
I sadly missed the premiere of the video, hope to be able to catch the next one.
I'd love to hear your analysis of the lyrics too !
This is an absolutely amazing music video and I'd love to see it win a VMA. It is really extremely touching from an emotional standpoint and really got me.
Now to something that's been slowly cooking up in my intuitive mind over quite a few analyses and really popped up with this one : Starting with this video, you've mentionned the girls said that the song is about dealing with other peoples god complexes, which it is on the surface level. I watched the lyric video first and already got the feeling that there was a second hidden and much deeper meaning that was much more personal to them. The meaning I felt (and I'm pretty sure it was the one they put in the song, not one I projected onto it) was about them overcoming criticism about themselves and the people who didn't believe they would succeed (and maybe self doubt too). So the music video wasn't that much of a surprise or disconnect to me as I already had that meaning in mind, so it was more of a confirmation.
I got that feeling of discrepancy between the meaning they told in interviews and the one I felt (which was mostly about the same you felt and mentionned in the analysis) on many of their songs.
Coming to the point I want to make : I got the feeling or suspiscion that they don't tell the real meaning of their songs in interviews and going even further, that they craft their songs in a way so they have a surface level meaning (they can tell) that hides the personal meaning it has to themselves. I don't mean that in a way of accusing them of malicious intent, but rather think it's a creative choice to give their work more layers, or most probably to limit giving away their inner world only to the people who can really get them (thus, as a side effect, leaving out the critics and disbelievers).
What is your opinion on that ?
Hey Denis! You never know - anything is possible :) It could be self-protective, but I think sometimes also that words come onto the page that only later we truly know the depth of. That is one of the reasons that journaling can be so therapeutic! There are definitely layers of meanings in their songs!
@@psychologyofrock Hey Nena ! That's a great point you made, thank you ! I didn't think about it in that way.
It totally makes sense that they initially wrote the song about peoples god complexes and only subconsciously added that second layer of personal meaning, that they only realized later and then turned into the video.
Now I'm wondering if the whole Idea for the song may have been subconsciously triggered by the need to express that personal meaning. Do you think it makes sense from a psychological point of view ?
As two of them are intuitive dominants (and Dany seems to be pretty high on intuition too even though she's an ESFJ), I could see that being the case, escially when comparing it to myself, as I often intuitively do or say things that make no sense to me in the moment but prove to be the right thing in the long run (you just made me realize that about myself through your answer, so thank you!)
Yes, journaling can be very therapeutic, but for some reason I don't feel attracted to it although I know I should probably do it.
I really like this analysis and I appreciate all of the time and attention to detail that you put into it. Your videos always have a lot of pictures that I haven't seen before (which makes me go out and look for them) plus the interview snippets like the one with Pau in the car. Thanks!
Love the video, song and band. Yes do an analysis on the lyrics too. Always look forward to yours thoughts and analysis 🤘❤🤘oh great insights on the video
You got it! I will add it to the list! :)
Another great analysis, thank you! These ladies are so *Intentional* in every aspect of their art, and it pays off. I'm sure there are happy accidents during the process, but I feel like everything that we see and hear is exactly what they wanted to put in front of the audience.
Yes! I agree completely, Joe. Intentional is the perfect word! It makes such a difference!
Excelente!👍 Great reaction to SFD video, Viva The Warning!!! Yeah!! 🤘⚡⚡⚡
😊⚡️⚡️⚡️🤘🏻
Thank you for this amazing video ⚡️
So glad you enjoyed it! 😊⚡️🤘🏻
Every comment I had has already been made, including Great Analysis! 👍 Thanks for your work.
You are so welcome! Very glad you enjoyed!
Best reaction and analysis of this video I've yet seen. Thank you
Thanks so much, that means a lot! :) Glad you enjoyed!
Excellent analysis. I enjoyed this very much. Shows how much thought goes into The Warning’s music and videos.
So glad you enjoyed and completely agree that they put so much thought into their videos. Makes a huge difference!
As usual Nena, another fantastic analysis! I knew you'd pick up on all the subtleties of the video, plus things I missed. (9 candles, who knew?) The video for 6FD definitely makes a statement, which is a total 180 from the fun vibe of QMQ. Just makes us look forward to what comes next from Our Favorite Female Rock Trio!🤘⚡
Yes! There are SO many interesting and profound things in the video! Very clever!
Re: it being a statement that they're no longer children: note that the video is Rated R
😊
Outstanding video! Always enjoy your take! Beautiful, smart, and well spoken. To the point ❤️ Many interesting themes, and thoughts. Some pics I haven’t seen too
🤘🕊❤️🤘⚡️⚡️⚡️
Very glad you enjoyed! I agree - SO many interesting themes to explore here!
I have been a long time fan of TW. 2017. Their growth was always inevitable. I have enjoyed their progression. ♥️✌🏻😎
Very well thought out analysis! thanks for all the hard work on this. Great video.
So glad you enjoyed! :)
Great analysis. Always enjoy your videos. Thanks
I appreciate that! Any requests for future videos? :)
Great analysis as usual Nena. Thank you
So glad you enjoyed, Brad! :)
Enjoyed that so much Nena !
🎯⚡❤️
I do think the monster is an amalgamate of their own demons and a type of the phantom opponents that they have constantly faced in pursuing their dream.
I love the Shyamalan ending,
It IS fun but my first thought was that it represented an image that hadn't been determined yet.
Love your channel ❤
✌️💖🎼
Thanks so much, Daniel! I appreciate you being here!
Amazing analysis, I love it 💛❤️🖤
So glad to hear it, Brandon! :)
Love your analyses of videos by The Warning - the most intriguing on RUclips IMHO! One surprise for me in this video was that the camcorder isn't Petunia, which is a JVC hybrid, or even a clone. It's just a big old clunky VHS, a la Poltergeist. The end has everyone wondering, of course. My theory is that the house itself is part of the phantom representation of their past, and that their adult selves were never physically there at all, although their younger selves were. The address is 0628, which is not just the release date of KMF, it's also an impossible house number, as house numbers don't start with 0. They're outside this house at the beginning looking at the entity through the window, but how and when did they get in? Might they only be there "in spirit?" Are the instruments chained to the floor, perhaps "in position," so their spirits can play them? And are the instruments also symbols of the past? We have the guitar Lzzy Hale gave Dany (not the one she plays on this song, according to a guitar player I know), Ale's original Ale's Inferno, and a DW drum kit without a logo. In the end, could it be that we don't see them in the mirror because they're not really there? All the things we do see are phantoms of the past. Oh, one more thing. Although it confuses some people, I think it's really creative that all the story-telling music videos from KMF depict something to do with the title of the song but nothing to do with the original intent of the lyrics. Two stories for the price of one!
That means a lot, thank you so much! I guess Petunia wouldn't theme with the retro aesthetic :) I completely agree with you that the recent videos have all strayed from the lyrics yet have successfully told a new story. THAT is artistry! :)
Wow, your videos are always very interesting and well done. I always learn something new or notice something about their songs / music videos that hadn't noticed before.
So glad to hear that! Thanks for being here!
This is one of the top Fuck You rock songs ever written. And yeah they’re not 12 anymore.
😂😊⚡️
They have grown, not just as musicians, but they are young women now, not little girls. Having watched them grow through the years, it almost feels like they are an extended part of my family. As such, like many other members of TWA, I feel protective of them, but it's time for us all to accept that they are adults now and their music is going to reflect that. I love their new music and feel that "Keep Me Fed" is a strong contender for Rock Album Of The Year. I look forward to where they go from here. Thank you for this excellent breakdown of the video, and I would be very interested in hearing your thoughts on the lyrics.
Hey Jim! It's only been a few years that I found out about the band, but even though I haven't followed them since their childhood, I agree they almost feel like extended family! I think we can feel protective of them and let them grow at the same time :) Like you, I love their new music and celebrate their well-deserved success! I will definitely address the lyrics in the future - I want to dive into Consume or Sharks first, but I'll get there! Thanks for watching!
Your insight is great, really enjoyed it. I totally agree that they are trying to gently let us know that they are now grown women and no longer the little girls that we fell in love with. Those of us who have girls knew that it had to come and looked forward to seeing them grow up. There are so many possible messages in this video but to me the most important is that the past is to be remembered but can not be changed, your childhood may be gone but the memories remain. The future is invisible but you are still in charge.
Yes! Beautifully said, Mark! :)
@psychologyofrock. Awesome analysis like always
Thanks, Bill! So glad you enjoyed it!
Definitivamente es mi video favorito del nuevo album, gran analisis y de lo que mas me sorprendio fue lo parecidas que eran las niñas a las versiones mas jovenes de DPA
It’s taken me a long while to be fully analytical about this song, in the end I can only really come up with one conclusion!
This to me is an up to date follow up to Narcissista, it’s saying that we have now proved that you were wrong to criticise us but still refuse to admit it so we are no longer bothered about it, we’ve buried your criticisms 6 feet deep! Do what you please we don’t care anymore.
It’s a brilliant creation of what they wanted to portray, and the last bit where they’re not there to me says that really they didn’t care all along, but this is so that you know that we don’t care beyond any doubt.
As always there are lots of possible interpretations and lots of Easter eggs but I don’t see much point in adding anything further that you already know! 🌹
I agree with your analysis. On the one hand, Pau said in an interview that sometimes she takes music very seriously and there are things that are just for fun. On the other hand, many of her songs have a deep message and people have written to thank her. So, there are things that are in the video for an artistic-aesthetic reason, but there are also elements that are present because they have a meaning. The album as a whole marks a new stage where they are no longer the girls and their fans have to wait for a change (some of that began, I think, with how they performed at the MTV VM Awards). The video definitely includes the haters and people who didn't believe in them, but now they are not affected by it, it is buried. Lzzy Halestorm definitely has an influence on them (who started with the band at 13 years old). Regarding the candles, since they have a Christian background, I think they represent people who protected them and believed in them and gave them light in the midst of the criticism they received.
Lots of great points here! And I love the idea of the candles represented those that believed in them. :)
If you guys could repost this, I would really appreciate it! :)
@psychologyofrock it's already reposted on The Warning discord and a few others.
Their appearance on Ellen was certainly an important milestone. If we were considering an event such as this in a work of fiction it could represent their conscious choice to become professional musicians. Perhaps it really did solidify the reality of that choice to themselves.
However, they were already working toward that goal well before being invited to the Ellen Show, even before their home-made Enter Sandman Video. There were multiple steps along the way. They (including their father Luis on behalf of the band) had been uploading videos to RUclips. After Enter Sandman went viral they began getting offers from music industry professionals. The girls were writing their first original songs, and their EP "Escape the Mind" was released on iTunes in the week before they were on the Ellen Show. That release was rushed in order to take advantage of their TV appearance, as they had 5 complete songs recorded and intended to include a few more. River's Soul and Exterminated were left out but later made it onto their first full album as live tracks.
I will point out that in interviews the girls have given a slightly different timeline. I believe that is just an error from trying to remember things that happened 10+ years ago. But in many instances we do have the dates that these events occurred.
Thanks for sharing, Steve! I'm sure after 10 years that some things slightly become a blur! Especially things from childhood :)
I think the chains are the same as in a Christmas Carol. They are bound to point in time where their demons have them. That they can walk together at the end means those chains are broken, and they can move on. Just my stupid take. Excellent reaction!
Interesting theory, Dave! Thanks for sharing!
For me, aside from the fairly obvious references to the haters and nay-sayers of the past and present, the monster being buried underground is also about them leaving their childhood behind. They've grown up and moved on. So has their music. And so should the fans who seem to want to keep them preserved in aspic. KMF is their first properly adult album. They're only getting better and better as they mature. Just imagine how they will sound for their next album in another couple of years! They are leading the way, setting the standard for other wannabe rockers to try to emulate.
Yes! I talk about this in the video and agree wholeheartedly! It's a joy watching them grow and evolve! :)
@@psychologyofrock I saw them for the second time at their Dublin show two nights ago. They were outstanding! And Ale's bass in Sharks was the highlight of the night, shaking the venue to its foundations! Can't wait to see them for a third time in London next April!
That's fantastic!
Awesome. 👏
😊⚡️🤘🏻
Hell Yeah Sisters!!!
:)
At 10 minutes I think the chains could also mean that they are well anchored now and are secure in who they are as individuals, sisters, musicians and business people. With all of that in place, they can confidently head into the future with confidence
I love that! YES!!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️
You saw a few things I missed. One thing I'll say, Paulina should still rock that kitty cat sweater.
😂♥️
When you said 'Express more mature themes in their lyrics'. I had to laugh considering QOTMS is about; delusion, stalking, murder, self farm (f=h) becoming psychotic and taking her own life.
Hi Nina The Girls are awesome on and off stage. I think it could be all the things they've gotten over the years. The toy section.
Indeed! 😊⚡️
I'm my opinion, the ending represents themselves saving their young selves from all those disencourage comments they recieved as kids.
Like they come from the future, as ghosts, not letting that censurer monster to take they dreams away
They said that new abum contains less metaphor and enigmas and it's straigth to the point.
Yes! I think it works well for the album!
The nine candles may represent the team that helps the girls live their dream and looks out for them
♥️
Dany looking like an homage to Kurt Cobain in that outfit
Yes! Especially in the shot where she is looking up at the camera and her hair is blowing - it reminds me of a specific video - maybe Teen Spirit or Heart Shaped Box?
@@psychologyofrockit’s definitely the look from when Kurt and Courtney was at the MTV Awards with their daughter 🤘
The shirt is for sure! But there is also a video where he looks up at the camera like that and their hair is similar. Now I’m determined to find it!
@@psychologyofrock oh wow I couldn’t remember where I saw him in that type of shirt but you are correct it was Heart Shaped Box. Thanks for commenting back because I was searching everywhere to find it
@@Nolimitcam._ that’s what I was thinking too, but @psychologyofrock also brought up Heart Shaped Box which I’m pretty sure he wore it in that too
Do the lyric dive in!
I will definitely add it to the list! :)
I wonder how deep their song: Martirio, goes
As a psychologist myself, I think that Six Feet Deep is their statement of how they're facing this monsters or fears that are trying to destruye them, but in the end gets defeated with all her good memories from the past or their essence (sorry for the spelling)...
If you see, the circle in the middle of the carpet is a protection circle and a trap for the entity, they trapped it and defeated with all of those items, simbolizing that her past and loved ones are their strenght.
I think that our analyses are very similar! Thank you so much for sharing!
Añadiría algo más, que no tiene que ver sólo con el video, sino con varias canciones y varios videos.
Ellas tienen un dilema personal, las 3, que comparten: por un lado no tuvieron una infancia normal, pero muchas personas las siguen viendo como si fueran aun niñas.
Entonces es una expectativa a la que no saben responder, existe la presión para encajonarlas en esa imagen, que ellas mismas no conocen.
Este álbum en cierta forma trata de eso, de decir "no somos niñas", pero aun así, sigue siendo problemático, porque justamente intentar ser adulto es lo que un niño hace, lo que, en realidad, sólo refuerza aun más esa idea.
Emocionarse por decir una mala palabra es lo que hace mi hermano pequeño jaja.
Hay temas en las hermanas villareal que son comunes a otros artistas, como Michael jackson, justin bieber o, acá en mexico, Luis miguel; creo que este enfoque puede ser util para intepretar el album: "dejar de ser algo que nunca fuiste".
wonder if the stars on earrings and clothes they have been wearing over recent times have any symbolic meaning, especially by pau.
I notice she does wear stars a lot...
The candles, a barrier, a trap, etc. Im thinking. Burying their childhood demons( nay sayers, haters), the mirror( they are not there but their music always was there, their minds, their opinions, their desires), the chains( they are grounded there, home). My opinions.
Also a tiny easter egg. Pau hates fruit and if you noticed the knife they used came from a plate of fruit.
Lol, yes :)
This reminds me of Poltergeist.With a rock twist.
I can see it!
🤘🤘🔥🔥

As for the cracked mirror, I think that the more successful they are, the more they feel the trappings of being “public” celebrities, and how fans assign to them rock star personalities that align with our ideas what rock stars are supposed to be like. I feel like mirror image reflects Only their instruments as a statement that our image of them goes only as deep as our knowledge of their artistic lives, and that they remain fiercely private as to who they really are in their private moments, so our image of them goes only as deep as their artistic public personas. So the cracking may represent how difficult it is to maintain their privacy in their private normal lives away from fame.
I love this! Great thoughts here!

Great analysis. You connect a lot of the dots that tend to fly by too fast and we don’t stop to think about. Most art, whatever the medium, has multiple meanings at the same time, not necessarily contradictory, that give it depth. Your example of the Rush video being completely stupid is dead on. There is a local garage band (1990s) that had a song that is such a fantastic 3minute song, could have been an all time classic if it had come out in 1978. Then they made a video. It was the stupidest waste of time. Complete junk. It poisoned the song. Anyway, I think this video is a work of art and as we’ve seen in several dozen reactions to date, few if any will pick up any of these meanings underlying it. But that’s ok, it can serve as just a wild homage to retro horror movies as well. The new album is a significant milestone in that they are signifying breaking from the past and their old selves, but the great thing is they are still the wonderful thoughtful articulate people they always were. They are at the age when people, all of us, experience major life transitions and it looks so far that they are going to handle it better than the majority of people that grew up in the public eye. Thanks for another thoughtful analysis.
I agree about multiple meanings, and layers of meanings. I love this video because it is personal and even somewhat vulnerable. It was brave to allude to some of these themes, and they did so intentionally and brilliantly. I like your statement of some videos "poisoning" a song. That has happened many times for me...NEVER with The Warning. The Time Stands Still video is a tragedy, lol! Who came up with that concept and who gave it the go ahead? Lol. I love that The Warning has a direct hand in all their media and that they are passionate about making their visions come to life. Artistic geniuses!
@@psychologyofrock their videos are always events even when they are just for fun, like burnout. Pau mentioned recently about people that take rock too seriously. I’m unapologetically one of those and don’t believe it for a moment that she isn’t also. You don’t create things so full of meaning and intelligence if you don’t take it seriously. But I totally get what she meant by that. Obviously you take it seriously too. We can be serious and have fun at the same time. Too many artists turn over parts of their creative process to others and it never does a lot for them. Rush were three of the smartest guys in the business, they should have known better on that one. Growing up with that “thinky” prog rock, you’d never believe how much I appreciate these three sisters.
I think of it more as taking the time to appreciate art that deserves to be appreciated :) I think The Warning loves and respects their audience in a way that few artists do; it helps drive their passion for excellence. I agree with you that Pau does take rock seriously, even when something is just for fun. It shows in the quality of their work!
I think Sharks is the song addressing others wanting them to stay young and Cute. I is the most disturbing song they have written as far as I am concerned. I get visions of Soviet era gymnastic vibes.
I look forward to doing an analysis on that one - I agree that it has a lot of depth. I think many songs on the album deal with pressure for them to never change.
@@psychologyofrock I neglected to mention that I think it is the best song on the album is terms of structure and lyric.
I agree - it might be my favorite on the album!
My take on the chained down instruments is that it's a way to show the naysayers, and their own negative inner voices, the entity, that noone will be able to take their instruments, and their dream away from them, like the entity tried to do in the beginning of the video. The entity lifted up, and destroyed Pau's drums, and Ale's bass, but now it can't, because the instruments are chained to the floor. The candles surrounding the word "dream" are there to protect their dream from the entity, I think. Since nothing in the lyrics, or the rest of the video, has anything to do with vampires, the whole thing screams poltergeist, I'd guess that the reason that they're invisible in the mirror, is not because they're vampires, but rather ghosts. And speaking of the entity, when it gets covered with all the toys and stuff, it kinda reminds me of the bloaters from The Last of Us 😆Not sure why though, maybe it's because of the size and overall shape of it, and the jerky movements. A cool little fact, which in a way connects The Warning to The Last of Us, is that the guy who composed the music for the game, Gustavo Santaolalla, is from Mexico, just like our favorite power trio.
Great thoughts here, Pascal! I appreciate you sharing!
@@psychologyofrock My pleasure! I love your videos on The Warning, and your thoughts and insights. If Pascal has any thoughts, it would surprise me if they're that great, Pascal is the fluffy guy on my profile pic 😸But what do I know, maybe he is the Einstein of cats.
😂😂😂 my apologies for the mixup! I do really love cats though lol!
@@psychologyofrock Haha, no worries, you didn't know 😁Me too, I have had cats since I was little. Pascal and his buddy Maurice live with my parents, while I am entertained and terrorized by my own kittens Mayu and Akira. Have you seen any of the recent after movies from The Warning? They uploaded one from Japan the other day, it's short but very sweet. I think it's one reason why they are so loved, they are approachable and relatable, their after movies are like fun family trips, and we get to come along.
That’s great! 😻 And yes, I think I’ve seen all the aftermovies :-) it’s amazing that they take the time to document everything so that they can share it with their fans who are like a family. Just incredible women all around!
