      Yeah, alot of the stuff mentioned in the song prove the guy didn't know real sh!t about religion so he shouldn't even be talking. You're not just waiting for the afterlife or something in religion. And besides the life there isn't even "lavish" like every average person out there may believe about heaven. Not even close, since there won't be death in heaven we'll all supposedly be vegan.
      Not to mention, he's acting like you don't quite do anything for this good afterlife; acting like it's only heaven, that there is no hell you have to avoid.

      i'm also pretty stupid but i think i get a LIIIIITTLE bit of slack. it's flipping 2024 and this song has been overused too much i mean it's a great flipping song but i mean when it becomes an overused stupid ass fuck tiktok song then i hate the world. i agree with this but i'd like to point out that a song can have multiple meanings at once, no matter how the artist wrote it to be seen as. then at that point we have to determine what the artist wrote it for. people can have different views and interpretations, but we can't exactly say they're wrong and that ours is right unless it's what the artist wrote it for. till then all meanings are correct. i think this could be the intended purpose. but the lyrics can also be supporting nostalgia in a way. i'm not sure if "a nostalgia song" is how to describe Notion, but "a song referring to life and the world when it was simple and great" which IS Nostalgic so well i kind of just unproved my point but what the Notion would be that is a lie is "Everything will be OK" CALMING BUT THATS NOT TRUE AND THATS NOT HOW THE WORLD WORKS. anyway my point is that well i support and love this video and appreciate the... Enthusiasm XD LOL and the PASSION for this song and the explanation to us idiots. thank you so much and well ye that's all

    I think it's the beat that makes it nostalgic, not the lyrics. Like how Outkast's Hey Ya is considered upbeat despite being about breaking up - "Y'all don't want to hear me, you just want to dance." The music feels nostalgic and that's what it's used for.

  • @ShadowSkull1240
    @ShadowSkull1240 3 месяца назад +86

    Unironically, this explanation made the song a ton lot more beautiful and poetic. Not because I didn’t understand it before, but because reading your explanation while listening to the song just triggered something in me. I’m not exactly atheist, but I don’t bow down to a god or anything. I believe in the existence of gods and stuff, just not like that.
    I think this song invokes nostalgia because of the tune and beat, but also because inheritly, even if we all share a collective brain cell, our brain naturally decipher the words into the deeper meaning. We just don’t consciously know it, so we call it nostalgia. It makes us feel deep emotions that we can’t place or otherwise explain, let alone have experienced. Hell most of the ppl who use this song in edits probably aren’t over 20 (I’m not). We don’t have a lot to be THAT nostalgic for yet.
    I loved this video. Good job.

    This song is relatable for me. As an ex-Christian (now atheist) when I was a little kid in catholic school I had a lot of people tell me I’d go to hell. When I left the religion I ended up having existential crises and had trouble coping with the atheist concept of death which made me more depressed than I already was. Actually I’m still depressed and am still struggling with coping and I don’t like thinking about death but maybe if I live a happy life I won’t feel scared or sad about it anymore.

      Brother/sister please go back to Christianity. I understand u are depressed rn but your life will piece right back together if you put your faith in god. Trust me, and if you don’t, it’s fine, not much people are Christian nowadays sadly and I’m not gonna force religion on you. Also, if that catholic school you went to was telling you that you will be sent down to hell, that was NOT a catholic school which fits perfectly into the Bible verse of “Beware of false prophets”. Pls, rejoice with your savior Jesus, and you will overcome depression.

      Honestly, if i left my religion i would have more trouble with the concept of death that it just goes black.
      Thats why i recommend you go around and try what people with religions (no matter which) do, see the benefit and the negative, then try to feel which you feel the most connection with.
      Im a muslim so i would recommend you do some of the practices (dont join any religion if your unsure to, because its not permitted to randomly quit the religion and join another one just for benefit) you need to really believe in it.
      Anyways i hope you overcome this trial brother. ❤

      Here’s the thing; people often choose or reject religion to fix one problem in their life and that is it. The concept of death is frightening, but believing what you want to believe is not going to make you better. Religion is a way of life that honors God and all that is good, but some are so caught up in despair and fear they forget to love each other, and instead hate spread Christianity. Christianity is a loving and accepting life, but so many twist it.

    2:05 my interpretation (that fits more neatly within the song as a whole) is that the "sunshine" doesn't refer to happiness in life, but rather as life in whole apart from death, and that "this momentary beam of light" refers to this specific, finite life, so that the line as a whole means you won't live forever, but you can live now
    edit: typo

      @whatami605 5 месяцев назад +14

      @@iExist543 no, the interpretation of finiteness of life is likely the correct one here given the nature of the song. "Sunshine" refers to to living another day, in this sense the metaphor refers to living in itself, There won't always be sunshine meaning you won't always be here to live (since sunshine means a new day), momentary beam of light then appreciates this "beam of light" as long as it is.
      The other interpretation referring to ups and downs of life does not match well with the context of this song since the song talks explicitly about mortality.

    1:26 "If you could pull the lever to carry on forever, would your life even matter anymore?"
    My intepretation of this line is that if you have the prospect, the promise of living forever and happily in an afterlife or be ressurected to a time of perfection, what would be the point of living here anymore if there's a much better place just waiting for you?
    Also this is exactly why I hate tiktok. They take short segments of songs, and people will only listen to THAT SEGMENT, and won't even listen to the full song to support their "favorite artist," and would prefer to listen to the lyrics videos or sped up audio edits. And no one actually listens to the lyrics; they just follow the trend. And it may sound odd, but humans have an interesting thing where we are attracted to things others are attracted to (a sadly hence as to why best friends are usually the ones to end up stealing your partners). So if you see a video- or a tiktok, i suppose- that has a lot of likes, you will probably like it too. The fact that so many people will claim that this is their "favorite song/artist" when they don't even actually listen to them fully or support the artists- it's genuinely infuriating. Also, please don't just take up after what other people say and make it your own truth. Discover things for yourself. Do your research.

    I always was thinking about the second understanding of lyrics "the right one" (heaven bs stuff). But I think that the song still can be interpreted rightly and used as an nostalgia song, but definetly not by the part about being younger, more so by the "pull the lever, to carry on forever". It actually fits many medias, think about all the tvshows that are loved - they ended, in the right time too. When a show/game is going endlessly then its not appreciated as much as other things (I know you can feel nostalgic over old fortnite, or older seasons of a show, but its still in someway here, and doesnt "hurt" as much as the older series never returning (littlebigplanet, tt lego games, club penguin, whatever). As a non-native english speaker im also shocked by the illiteracy of the englishmen. You can literally hear in the "when i was younger part" that it literally is nothing about nostalgia. It could be literally used as a nostalgia song, and with deeper meaning, but some people are just dumb, and when you really think about it the part that is widely used just doesnt fit, and the fact that theres a part that could fit more - and would give an deeper meaning - is out there in this song, makes me feel something unexplainable. Conclusion: in the end, not even english people give a shit about english songs 😂

      The entire athiest belief system is built on trying to explain why the birth of the universe, or the universe before it, didn't create matter and break the basic laws of physics. We are tiny pockets of flesh that die so easily. and acting like we have any right to degrade other people over ideas our constantly faulting minds can't even fully comprehend nor prove, is what it is, acting. So I simply ask you, instead of insulting people for beliefs you cannot prove true or false based off your own unproven ideas, sit with them, get a drink, and have fun. We all are going to die anyway. Better to hope it's good.

    Thanks, now i won’t be able to listen to this the same way again, and I’m so glad for that, I often experience this sense of existential dread of my end, but this video seems to be a little comforting in way when the song basically eludes to such themes. Thank you genuinely for explaining this to us idiots.

    I will admit, I was definitely a fool, I think it’s purely because of the line ‘oh back when I was younger’ because it’s usually the part where most people pay attention when listening because the lyrics really sound more pronounced there, and if you don’t know the lyrics beforehand you’d expect it to just be a nostalgia song, I looked at the lyrics one day and paused and realised the song probably isn’t about nostalgia, and now I end up here, thank you for correcting my foolishness 👍

    I like this song cuz in a country where Christianity is shoved down my throat by everywhere I look, even having to say under god in school, and having to learn about Christianity and Christian beliefs every single day, this song is a breath of fresh air

    no cause i went on every single little lyric video of notion and none of them even talked about the 'beliving ancient letters' line, for me its very obvious that its talking about religon, and i dont see why people didnt realize it sooner :

    I love this song even more now that I know the true lyrics. I always saw the song in edits and things (and don't assume that I wasn't skeptical enough to realize that the song had a different meaning than it was presented as), and I never bothered looking up the lyrics until now! Thanks for making this video :)

    I have never heard of this song outside of TikTok, but this video that definitely made me warm up to it. Good job explaining, cut and straight to the point.
