“He” is fear. You’ll find that NF speaks to his emotions often. He anthropomorphizes them. Fear, Anger, Sadness... This whole song is a metaphor for his mind. It’s pure genius. Fear came into his life, picked a room to stay in and hasn’t left since. Now he doesn’t know if it’s him or fear making the decisions. I recommend listening a few more times while keeping in mind that the mansion is his mind. He’s using metaphors to describe what goes on in there and the bad things that have happened that have made him who he is today. The ways that fear came into his life. Also, his stepdad physically abused him as a child. And his mom... well, you’ll get to that. If you like the screaming emotional NF, her song is gonna mess you up! Have tissues!
This song hits home. I was physically abused as a child. Ended up in foster care. Finally, family from Alabama found me and raised me. Thank God for them EVERYDAY.
I love NF, but have to admit I had not heard this song previously. I sat listening, slack jawed and awe struck that NF found a way to truly & clearly articulate the thoughts, confusion, brain searching, soul crushing trauma and pain that doesn't go away. Coating even the core of your bones with soot colored stain. And he managed to presented it all with nothing less than lyrical Perfection !!
Ironically, (i realize this is like a year late.. going through another journey binge lol, but ironically, i see so many listen to this AND intro III.. like, AFTER, and even when getting the points.. still insist on a mv, and i just wanna be like “lol did he not paint the picture vividly enough of getting his ass kicked in a cold basement with a childs fear in his eyes?” Not to mention, it kills the concept for intro II when you finally get the full picture of what it does look like. Then lastly, intro III. yeah, the mv would be “neat”, but for Nate.. it would just be corny as hell spoon feeding the entire trilogy to everyone and not letting us figure it out and watch others for one of the best “holy shhhhh” moments captured. Lol good call on advising your friend, just wanted to throw my similar thoughts in #nfrealmusic 🗝
If Mansion gave you chills, I can't wait until you get to Outro. You have a ways to go on the Journey, and it's CERTAINLY one that you can't skip ahead to, but, fair warning, I get chills EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I watch that video. I'm glad you're on the Journey. It's a heck of a ride.
Artist like NF and Jelly Roll have that ability to make you hear their pain in their voices, their stories relate with so many people, songs are timeless
@@CanalLegendas im sorry, but what was the reason for this comment? Clearly Rita was trying to keep the actual spoilers out of her comment. You remind me of when i was dying waiting for the last Harry Potter book just to have someone spoil it just like this on myspace using two words. Ill never forget it bc it was such a bizarre unnecessary thing to do. Like this. I couldve just ignored you but, it reminded me of that memory, and now, like what? 10-12 years later? People still do this weird stuff? Its just confusing. Why? Her comment was perfect as is.
So the Mansion is his head, remember that, all the videos (some are just without video just the cover) you are going to see, take that in consideration, and remember Fear, always remember Fear.
i got the same shit like him but my mom was addicted to alcohol and died because of it so i feel like he wrote this song for me and my mansion i was going to therapy for over 3 years to work all the stuff over and now i am not a survivor i am a warrior because i survived and doing it better by my son and he is so proud of me because i handle the whole shit so well last year i got a bad brain bleeding and was lying in coma for over 2 month and as i woked up the docs telling me i can not walk or talk anymore then send me in rehabilitationfor 6 month and because of the music by NF and my own will to live i learned to talk and walk again and now only the left arm is still handicaped but i am back in life with the help of NF i think he saves so much lifes with his music and do not know it greetings from germany you are amazing at your channel so keep going
@Cliff... Yes he'll talk about "Johnny" later on but it was his mom's boyfriend or husband that used to beat him...Fear is personified he does this quite a bit personifying issues and fear anger.. his notepad etc....Sadly I relate too much to his stuff a lot of the time! ABSOLUTELY love your stuff thanks Cliff 💕💯🤙✌️ Peace love and light to you ALWAYS 💋💗 I'm trying to think of some of the lesser known one's because they're completely underrated!!! I'll be sending you some link's doll... Ps. Yeah I could use a friend...I have no one 💔😔😢
Years ago, I went through some hurtful stuff by someone i trusted and ended up spiraling out winding up knee deep in my headphones and whiskey .. I found this song and hit the repeat and cried .. I ended up moving and picking myself up until last night when a fried played this.. the chills you feel when you were listening in those moments .. I still get even years later . . I guess I just want to say that’s it’s comforting people expressing the same emotions for a song .. and you have a capability to break down these songs and express things in words that Many can’t ..
Sticking with the Forrest Gump references, watching NF go through the raw emotions of this song, its like when your at the spot in the movie where you see Lt. Dan at the top of the ships mast and hes having his screaming match with god. Then as the scene ends, everything is suddenly quiet and Lt Dan swims away to make his peace with god. That damn movie is a masterpiece! Lol
Great reaction subbed for this. NF definitely just gets better... a lot better by the time you get to his latest album The Search he will blow you away. So many songs I cannot wait for you to react to, but Intro 3 is going to be hella fun! Just remember Fear when you listen to Intro 3. All of Nate's emotions are like characters in his songs.
I'm really enjoying your reactions on this NF journey, but when you said you were "ready" for Mansion before it started, I literally laughed out loud. No one who does bar breakdowns is ever ready for this song. Can't wait to see how you were feeling by the end of this song.
Hi, 😅just call me ‘2 years late to the party’🥴Idk if you ever got an answer to who the woman singing is. It sounds like Bishop Briggs to me. I’m painting and simply listening to you react, bc you’re more verbal❤I LOVE BB so I got excited to hear her (or someone that sounds very similar to her voice). Thanks for all you continue to do. Check out Bishop Briggs. You know who she is……aiight, I’m headed back to 2023💪🏼
On the positive side... he's married and just announced his wife is pregnant. You know his number one priority is to be a present and active father... which is probably some of the best therapy for someone who was emotionally neglected and physically abused.
New sub here to watch your NF Journey! Buckle your seatbelt, grab your balloons and your jacket, it may be a long journey.....it’s about to get scarier....SCARY GOOD!!!
Happy healing get lost in music. Em raps about the hands that we are dealt and wear the shoes God gave us. Ive been dealt my karma for every lifetime. The Lords Prayer is a good thing to say every day when working on forgiveness. I wish to argue or debate with nobody, but I easily can, thinking of different artists that portray my emotions like on the movie inside out.
I already know from previous reviews you like these 2 people in this band. Lots of people love these 2 people but never heard of their other band. Just type in GFBF- Foul mouth wasted. Do a blind react you'll be shocked..

If your responses are always this empathetic... prepare yourself for "How Could You Leave Us". As a grown man... it leaves me w tears everytime.

Yo Cliff on the real this was deep but when u do "Why would you leave us" strap in brotha... N have tissues handy.. It my soul
How could you leave us.... My bad
Ayo why u need tissues???
See why I said no video required? He paints the picture perfectly
ИF is amazing
Heidi is nf
Reyes y'all need to make up your mind. Am I NF, Tom Macdonald, or Upchurch? P.s. your singer sucks😂

Every NF song you hear is the best NF song at that moment. ;)
Great reaction bro!
I’ve been waiting for this one!! Keep it in mind when you get to Intro 3.
IN Nate he sings about the types of Dude' s his Mom let around them. When you get to How Could You Leave Us be prepared. It's about his childhood.
It's about his mom.

@@HaraQuinn this song talks about losing his mom, don't think this was much of a spoiler.
YEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH MMMMHMMMM THATS RIGHT.
There aren't many that can paint a picture with their lyrics the way he does.
Nf has the amazing ability to make listeners feel his emotions through his music. This song always gives me the chills.
So the Mansion is his head, remember that, all the videos (some are just without video just the cover) you are going to see, take that in consideration, and remember Fear, always remember Fear.

Nate personifies his emotions-fear, joy, hope, regret...
Great reaction... Going to have to get the 5 point racing seatbelt for these reactions.
@Cliff... Yes he'll talk about "Johnny" later on but it was his mom's boyfriend or husband that used to beat him...Fear is personified he does this quite a bit personifying issues and fear anger.. his notepad etc....Sadly I relate too much to his stuff a lot of the time!

Born ready
I love the metaphor's he uses to get his point across. 🙏💗🔥 #AOD

Love Ur reactions 💙
More NF ❤️
Crazy song
Nf is the only rapper that can make me cry.
Sticking with the Forrest Gump references, watching NF go through the raw emotions of this song, its like when your at the spot in the movie where you see Lt. Dan at the top of the ships mast and hes having his screaming match with god. Then as the scene ends, everything is suddenly quiet and Lt Dan swims away to make his peace with god. That damn movie is a masterpiece! Lol
Love that part of the movie.
You just got a new sub from an NF addict! Good reaction!
Rest for sure
🔥🔥💯💯 reaction, don't miss out on NF- All I have
Great reaction subbed for this. NF definitely just gets better... a lot better by the time you get to his latest album The Search he will blow you away. So many songs I cannot wait for you to react to, but Intro 3 is going to be hella fun! Just remember Fear when you listen to Intro 3. All of Nate's emotions are like characters in his songs.
Bandade on a broken leg cliff.... broken leg. Cheers man
Master level of storytelling !
Agreed!
It’s hard not to get goosebumps to that song
*silently starts following you for more of the jounrey*
Lol. Love having you. The journey continues!
He can’t burn that room down because that memory is burnt into him. You can’t burn something that is already burnt.
Keep up the reactions like the NF ones you do.
By way in the back round on the top shelf looks like creed cologne boxes are they?
For a man thats working a day job, you sure put out a fuck ton of content. (Not sure if fuckton is one word or 2)
It has gotten further from me. See 5 yrs old to 45 I see it but can tell you it is gone.
Hollywood undead -pain
Free Cliff!

Yup, just finished your video, but I gotta say, I didn't expect you to actually admit you weren't ready so genuinely. Keep truckin brother.👊

Have to go ahead and step into "how could you leave us" but better have the 5 point harness to strap in with! Oh, and tissues.
Hell when I was watching only one i was trying to copy a link and it took me to sasa Sloan's song only one the original.
Yay, i needed an excuse to not go do fire wood lol
On the positive side... he's married and just announced his wife is pregnant. You know his number one priority is to be a present and active father... which is probably some of the best therapy for someone who was emotionally neglected and physically abused.
That’s great news. I’m sure music was his therapy to overcome it.
Well done. Also, as you move on to tracks from the next album you're obligated (no you're not) to do "intro" from each.
Oh I’m definitely going in order. This is raw
#Algoboost
Main point lets try to stick to if we dont have anything nice to say not say anything at all, since words can be weapons.
New sub here to watch your NF Journey! Buckle your seatbelt, grab your balloons and your jacket, it may be a long journey.....it’s about to get scarier....SCARY GOOD!!!
I ended up sending this to Nate after I had some stuff that I needed to release some stuff.
Em sings about Nathan...

This one is hard to hear 😥
His deepest song is:
How Could To Leave Us
I will definitely get to it boss
I think he was abused by his moms boyfriend/stepdad. In another song which is sad he talks about how his mom passed.
Yes, by his moms boyfriend Johnny. Will come up in a later song.
NF didn’t Drake out on you. Drake NF’s out. 😉
Damn never looked at it that way
I already know from previous reviews you like these 2 people in this band. Lots of people love these 2 people but never heard of their other band.
Just type in GFBF- Foul mouth wasted. Do a blind react you'll be shocked..
im not well.. phonecalls.. rejects and bills are awesome too
Please react to EZ MIL sings PANALO on WISH USA BUS
Why your hands so pink bro!?!
