The shopping cart represents the cage from perception. That’s why he sits in it a lot. The balloons are his burdens he carrys with him everywhere he goes. The end is the idea of trying to let go of some of his burdens but it’s scary to let go of the only thing you’ve ever really known
yes exactly. the whole abandoned amusement park is filled with people who are letting go of a piece of their burdens. you see some people wiping off the smiles. people who threw off the black clothes, people lined up to let go of their burdens, people who have successfully gotten rid of all and people who are still weighed down by it. it was such incredible symbolism
“NF will change your life.” The most brutally honest thing ever said. NF is an artist that comes into your life when you need him and he takes you through the journey of life showing you the way to be more than your mental health. True hero.
Reading comments on "Leave Me Alone" reactions opens up a lot of various concepts on what everything in the video means. The video is so well done that everything is open to interpretation as ART is meant to be. Nate is truly an artist. To me, the idea of Society being a Theme Park rings home. Nothing makes sense and everyone is crazy. The attractions are the things you do to help normalize yourself and make you a part of society. So one will help wipe off your fake smile, the other will help you drop your "black clothing depression" into "white clothing conformity." The people crowd to those who are different than them and try to push them into the direction to make them the same. This really rings home in the "hate to be different, but hate to be normal." He's constantly looking around confused about why he is so different than everyone else, but he doesn't want to take part in the things that would make him the same. Thus he becomes outcast.
Yo this is an amazing view on the video. Literally took my thoughts and put them into coherent words that I couldn't think of. I became aware of NF right after the hype of Perception died down, around the times of the 'Gods Plan' hype, so I was heavily ridiculed for my newfound love of NF music. But we NF fans don't give a fuck do we? Hell nah. We don't. I would like to add onto this interpretation with my own thoughts on the world NF has created, and more specifically what this song adds to it. I felt as though in the Search, we see what NF perceives the world to be. And more specifically his worldview inside of his head. Like you said, the people in white clothes are those who conform to the everyday life styles and morals of modern society, and the black clothes people are those who do not, whether it be by being mentally ill and seeing life differently or just not believing in the social norms of the 21st century. In Leave Me Alone, we see a sort of conversion camp, where the white clothed people are finishing their acceptance into the masses and the black clothed people who want to conform are trying to change. But obviously we have Nate who is different. He isn't in line with everyone else, he is the outlier, or as we know him, the Outcast. I'm not sure what his cart represents, where it's his body and the balloons are the burdens in which he drags along, or it's the cage he feels he is stuck in, but it is pretty well known that his balloons indicate his burdens. I believe at the end he is going through some inner conflict about letting those two 'burdens' go. We don't see whether he actually hands them away, but I'd like to believe that maybe Nate came to terms with some stuff in his duration at the hospital and those are the metaphorical burdens he was able to let go or move past them. {Side note: if you are mentally ill i.e. depressed, anxious, etc. I know being in a mental hospital or a hospital in general may seem scary, but most of the time the people are trying to help. I've been charged with a 5150 before (a mandatory 72 hour hold so they can determine whether you are mentally safe enough to be in the general public and not a danger to other members of society) and was in a mental facility for about 4 days. It was scary and with all those built up emotions from my actions that led to it, but in the end, speaking with the other patients and finding the right meds I needed to help me get back on track saved my life. I hope you take this into consideration if you are having a rough time, that there are people out there who love and care. I know it hurts, you are scared, or feel like a burden. I won't lie, it usually doesn't go away, but you do learn to manage it. There will be bad days, but it is okay to have bad days, as long as you don't allow those days to hinder your progress. If you really want to do something about it that, in all honesty, most likely won't work, think about your loved ones first. Just do it, think how they will feel. I know everyone says that, but take it from me, the looks on their faces when they find you, it's worse than anything you feel. Just think and say something. It will get better. Sorry for the rant.}
@@nivrag00hah, love your take on NF, I believe he mentions that he still is under control of Fear in “Leave Me Alone” hence the fact he said his own name when people debated if their underrated. That fake smile he couldn’t smear off may have been Fear’s doing. Idk, and I appreciate the little pep talk at the end.
No Name: "Fame called me, I'm like, "How you doin'?" Hung up on him, l ain't ready for it I'll get back to that when I make album four" Album four: Remember back in "NO NAME, " I said fame called? Told you I hung up, it kinda felt wrong" It freaks me out NF's level of lyricism. So gifted. Great reaction. 🤍
You can see the difference between perception and the search how much better he got. Also fun fact all these people in the music video are his fans. Also, no name refers to fame calling and he hung up and called him back with the title song leave me alone, which is why fame said it sucked
I love this music video so much. Just to start, all the extra people are not actors. He posted on social media asking for fans to “apply” and then his team did like a raffle thingy for it. So all the people in this video other than Nathan are fans 🥰 I’ve heard so many cool stories about the whole experience. The video was also shot in an abandoned amusement park. This song is one of my favorite NF songs and I’m so happy to see you guys love it as much as I do. I can’t wait for you guys to get to Trust feat Tech 9
I always watch people react to the NF journey because there is so much going on with the video and the lyrics it's super easy to miss certain scenes or lyrics and I really appreciate the breakdowns 😭❤️👍🏽👍🏽
I absolutely love NF's entire catalogue from Mansion to Clouds (save for maybe 1 or 2 songs), but you guys are creeping up on 3 of my absolute favorites: "Change" (up next!!), "Nate", & "I Miss the Days" ("Only" isn't too far behind these either... The Search album is pretty much 🔥 🔥 🔥 from start to finish!)
We consider Why, The Search and Leave Me Alone as "the trilogy". The cage was in the background of The Search, so the shopping cart is his mind again...more portable as he is out looking for answers. That's just my opinion. The whole song is him telling his doubts/burdens to leave him alone. Plus he's explaining the OCD diagnosis to fans. So much in this song! #NF 😎
My opinon: the shopping cart is representing the cage and his mind, balloons are all of his burdens, in this album he is learning to step outside of the cage ( open the door) and he is on a journey to try and find himself and during the journey get rid of all his burdens, which turns out to be alot hard task, and he drags around the cage and keeps it close to him so when he starts feeling anxious, scared , or fear takes over, he can climb back into it , his safe space
By far my FAVORITE reaction from you guys….. your facial expressions were the best…..I can’t wait for you guys to get to Clouds (the mixtape) it just gets better and better 🥰
You guys are dope! The funny part is at the end when Nate gave the other balloon and it stopped! " Seriously! I have to wait until next week?!" Is literally like watching tv shows and you have to wait for the next one!! 😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣 That's watching NF vibe look like all the time. 👏👏 Keep it going guys! 🙏
Yes, whenever a phone rings, it is Fame, aka Satan. Satan = temptation. Ref: Intro II “….Satan keeps calling, he’s trying to flirt. I hang up the phone, these are more than just words.” This specific storyline plays out further on the Clouds Mixtape, with the song Trust. NF shares how he keeps Satan at bay, by starving his own ego. 😉
I am literally obsessed with you guys these days. I watched A LOT of your reactions to NF songs yesterday for hours and now the marathon starts again HEHEHE
K done! I KNEW YOU GUYS WOULD LOSE IT OVER THIS! I still get chills multiple times watching and listening to this! A major note behind this album is that previous to releasing this, Nate had been in a mental hospital and had battled with suicidal thoughts very heavily. The entire album is sort of his dark and deep journey through all of that. Some were even written in the hospital (The song Nate being one of them). I feel like this video was sort of his take on his journey in the hospital and how they were telling him to let go of burdens and all the therapy. I think at the end that might be his therapist possibly, and he was letting two go through the therapy but ultimately he still has so many.
I hadn’t thought of it this way before and I love this perspective. As well, I didn’t know he went to a mental hospital, good for him. One thing I noticed as I was listening to his music, been listening since the first EP, his music forced me to look inside myself and confront all the trauma I had as a child. It was a rough journey, the more I listened to him the worse my mental health became because it forced me to confront everything. I didn’t handle any of it in a healthy way for years, just shoved it down deeper and became suicidal because of it. I finally went to therapy back in 2020. Now when I listen to NF I feel empowered by the struggle I overcame when confronting my past. Best decision I ever made.
My favorite part of y’all’s reactions now is the little noises you both make. The surprised Ohs and Ahs. This is one of my favorite videos. So many bars that speak to me and my mental issues. You feel this one. Real Music!!!
I ALMOST liked this reaction as much as the song itself!!! Y'all... Friday morning entertainment! I was dragging through, sipping on coffee and now I am SO energized!! This was amazing and y'all had us laughing with your facial expressions and reactions. If OPTIONS is not on the list you have, PLEASE add it. It is very important to the journey! Can't wait for the next one!! Also, congrats on the 20K!!!
Love the videos and glad Kayy got you on nf pointed him out to you but It’s tragic that ‘only’ and ‘remember this’ were missed of the nf journey please go back to them after you have completed the journey
Looking for words to express this song...looking...looking...looking...i can't find them. It's to marvelous to explain. I'm so happy to be privileged to ear NF music. It's a true gift for us. Thanks Kyle and Eric to this another awesome reaction. NF surely is happy with sincere guys like you and to an incredible group of loyal fans. I'm sure are one nowadays😊
I've been watching you guys take this journey from the beginning, and I've been so excited for you guys to get to this song. I think it's one of NF's best
Friday made, awesome reaction 😃😁👌🏾. On The Search album he's searching for freedom and that's symbolized by him leaving his cage, the other people changing clothes from black to white, having their fake smiles wiped off, and being in a queue to hand away their burdens. He does hand over two balloons but remains with a bunch other. The hand must be God in my opinion. And yes that phone is Fame still ringing 📞
You guys consistently make me smile with your reactions, its like re experiencing the journey all over again for the first time. Alot of the NF family have already come through and explained some things but ultimately this music video is a work of art and is open to interpretation and just adds to the mythos that is NF. The entire album is complete fire and I can't wait for your reaction to 'Nate' and 'When I grow up' be warned though, Nate is heavy. Its not as hard to get through as 'How could you leave us' but its definitely emotional.
Have been waiting so long for you guy's to finally get to this song!!! I'm so happy you went through the journey, so many other reaction channels will have this song and video as like thier second or third NF song ever and they get so lost. So I'm very happy you guy's started at the begin and worked your way up. Really hope you guy's don't skip Returns, it's alot like Real but 3 times better (in my opinion) as other people have said this whole album is so SO GOOD!!
Been a subscriber since beginning of your journey and have truly enjoyed it. Counting days down though to the Clouds Album. NF did it again...it's off the chart fire! Eric called out NF's "layers" to which he has a song called Layers. Always enjoy the reactions! Great Job!
I think the beauty of NF videos is that he leaves a lot up to interpretation, if it works for you, then that's what it means. It could mean one thing to one person and another to someone else and yet they're both correct.
Been listening to NF for years and watched many reactors. Eric is the first I've seen pick up on the song title, Leave Me Alone, and fame line. That never occurred to me, 🔥. So many layers, its incredible.
His beats are really just so amazing and original, i love that. Before, i really didn't like any rap music but since i first listened to Therapy Session, the first one i've ever heard from him, i knew he was something else. Now he is my number one Artist and i love every song he makes. How i never heard from him before, i don't know, but i am so glad i found him. His music helped me a lot since then and surely still will in the future. Have fun and enjoy the rest of the NF journey, it gets even better the farther you go
This one was filmed in the abandoned six flags new Orleans. All the people are fans. There was a call out for fans in the area to be in the video. I wish I could have been!
Yesssss!!! Love this song!! The meaning of the video is often debated, some people believe the people in white are getting over their " burdens" and it's a good thing and want NF to out on the white clothes while others believe the people in white are just masking their burdens to fit in with society and NF sticks out like a sore thumb because he doesn't not mask anything no matter how unpopular that can make him. You decide what you see depicted in NF's art. Now please keep in mind while you check out the rest of this album that NF had the idea to bring someone inspirational and positive in this album, but he was going to one of his worst cases of depression while writing and doing this album. But keep in mind " Clouds the mixtape is a polar opposite. Don't worry not giving anything away
@rykerroad YYESSSS!!! First thing in the morning when I turn my tv, I immediately go to your channel. Nothing makes my day more than your NF and Falling in Reverse reactions!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
Yesssss finally! Been waiting for this reaction top 5 NF song for me. Was really hoping you would get the no name reference about fame and "I sent him this song" bar. Can't wait for you to do layers probably my top NF song the cadence switches is something I've never heard of before... Only other artist that does that is Tech N9ne. The reaction with that collab is gonna be a banger too. Look forward to the rest of this journey you'll definitely enjoy the rest.
Something else that I've noticed from this video is the color of his shirt. All the other black shirts look newer. His is a dull black, which I think was done to show that he has had these problems longer than other people. Just a small detail that I thought was cool
There is so much imagery to unpack with this video, it is probably his most complex video. His producer is named Tommee Profitt and they have been working together since 2011. I have watched it so many times and I still don't think I have grasped all of it yet. The main thing that sticks out to me is have I think all of the people in the Search and Leave me Alone's videos are his fans. The town represents him seeing his fans giving their fake smiles, and their black clothes, and their burdens away, while he keeps walking through without giving them up. At the end he is showing that he is willing to give a couple of them away showing that he is working on himself. If you notice that at the beginning of the third verse the old man in the shopping cart next to him is the older him in the Let You Down video, he is showing a glimpse of himself in the future if he stays the way he is. At the end of The Search video you see one of his "fans" or someone who has given up their smile, burdens, and black clothes, gives him his white clothes but he still has not put them on yet. I would imagine in a future album he will start wearing a white jumpsuit but that is just me hoping. At least these are things that I have put together myself. The shopping cart I think represents the cage, showing that he still needs that comfort zone but at least he is able to move forward and not be stuck in one place. Hopefully this helps a little, but still all my own opinion and observation.
Fairly new to your channel. Love the reactions! Huge NF fan here. You guys are really entertaining and in your reactions and I appreciate. Back when he did the song No Name, he said that a fan called and he wasn't ready for the fame and attention at the time. As you mentioned in other videos he really loves his fans, but he is sort of a loner and doesn't like all the limelight. He said he will get back to it by album four in the song No Name. This is what he considers album four and this is the song. All the connections that he makes it in his songs with past songs is really incredible. He's truly a lyrical genius! Keep up the great work, very entertaining. As for now, I have some videos to catch up on... 😉
I love your guys reactions. This is one of my favorite songs by NF especially the video portion of it. But the cart represents the cage from perception on wheels. The best songs are yet to come so enjoy guys!!
Woohooo!!!! One of my favorites!!! Goodness I love your reactions, can't wait until next week. Also, many people say the shopping cart is still his cage but it's getting smaller but he can't fully leave it.
The gasp/AWH!/sigh of satisfaction says it all. You hear some line, and you're just like "yo, there's so much to unpack there". Is it literal, is it a metaphor, is it a diss, a challenge, a warning?
And I’ve seen Ronnie react to many many reactors and you are the only ones he’s praised like that! And he listened to your banter afterwards….you are on your way guys….TV show….you need a tv show! ❤️🔥👏🤞
So many readings, helping people leave their burdens, him leaving his burdens, says to fame to leave him alone and then gets pissed, layers, layers, he got Layers
I still remember freshman year of High School when I first heard this song. I practically listened to it nonstop that entire year to the point where I think of freshman year when I hear the song
Amazing reaction! It's always like I am listening again for the first time along with ya! Thanks guys! Would love for you guys to go back and do an in-depth breakdown of the lyrics together, like that podcast you talked about.
Hey fellas! Great reaction again. Y'all don't miss. So, they were wiping off the fake smiles in the tent. Not drawing them on. My guess as to the changing from dark clothes to white is going from darkness to purity. Or perhaps getting the mental help they need. Love from Cali.
That black scene in the beginning of verse 3...is people that died with their burdens or rather got old with it.. That rickety cart with the old man explains it... Then when the song was building.. He has to go back to daylight again to try and get things right on time...... NF is a extraordinary
As always you guys deliver another great reaction. In my humble opinion the end of the video represents the Savior reaching through the veil to make NF burdens lighter if he chooses to hand them over to him. (Something we all can do) Psalms 55:22 / Mathew 11:28 Love u guys !!!! We thank you for the NF reactions !!!
I love the line about being scared to let go of his balloons because then he'll be more afraid. The fears and doubts and burdens that we've learned to live with become part of us and if we lose that there's a fear of what will replace that. So freaking deep. He'd rather live with the demons that he knows then worry about the unknown.
NF don't even need a movie about him, just play his whole music journey in chronological order, enough said.
I agree he's really changed my life and truly saved me from myself ❤
The shopping cart represents the cage from perception. That’s why he sits in it a lot. The balloons are his burdens he carrys with him everywhere he goes. The end is the idea of trying to let go of some of his burdens but it’s scary to let go of the only thing you’ve ever really known

and that cage and that cart are representations of his mind or his mansion
Great explanation.
Nice
Spot on answer 🖤
“NF will change your life.” The most brutally honest thing ever said. NF is an artist that comes into your life when you need him and he takes you through the journey of life showing you the way to be more than your mental health. True hero.
Wouldn’t say ever … but very profound yes
I know he changed my life.
He's changed my life I know that for sure!
Kyle's face throughout 90% of the video is just golden
YESSS 🤣❤️
His reactions make me feel like I was right to be as pumped as I am haha I watch them all the time cuz they just get it man
Also, love how Kyle’s reaction is basically 13 minutes of straight jaw-drop lol
it makes it an only Eric reaction 🤣 Kyle won’t say anything 😂
😂😂 dude , imagine because I'm watching this for the 4th time . I'm in my feelings rn so decided to watch all their NF reactions .

He gets leaps and bounds better on The search from perception.
Same can be said for the Mixtape. He’s gets better on Clouds compared to the search
NF helps people deal with their trauma and helps heal wounds. He truly is saving lives

The Search album is pretty much 🔥 🔥 🔥 from start to finish!)
100%. My 3 favs are the same 3 songs. 👍😃✌
No lies whatsoever told in this comment!!!!! 💯🔥 🖤🛒🗝☁️
Same especially Nate
Every song on the search is absolute 🔥
The NF ep is really good too, you should listen to it if you haven't
We consider Why, The Search and Leave Me Alone as "the trilogy".

Every time y’all say “can’t believe I have to wait til next week” I’m like “no…just binge it rn and post it all PLEASE” 😂😭
By far my FAVORITE reaction from you guys….. your facial expressions were the best…..I can’t wait for you guys to get to Clouds (the mixtape) it just gets better and better 🥰
Yes!!! My favorite one! Love you guys. You need to add "Can you hold me" to your list of NF songs. Its beautiful and will hit your soul.
One song on the search that does not have a video but references the journey is his song "Nate". Love these reactions!
You guys are dope! The funny part is at the end when Nate gave the other balloon and it stopped! " Seriously! I have to wait until next week?!" Is literally like watching tv shows and you have to wait for the next one!! 😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣 That's watching NF vibe look like all the time. 👏👏 Keep it going guys! 🙏
Yes, whenever a phone rings, it is Fame, aka Satan. Satan = temptation. Ref: Intro II “….Satan keeps calling, he’s trying to flirt.

I am literally obsessed with you guys these days. I watched A LOT of your reactions to NF songs yesterday for hours and now the marathon starts again HEHEHE
That's WHY NF is unlike any other artist I've ever seen or heard of he just keeps getting better and every single time your life changes
Honestly everytime I hit my bottom, NF always gets me through all of it .
"Oh making me feel things!" Had me in fits lol..this song is such a vibe..as usual u 2 were awesome ❤❤
K done! I KNEW YOU GUYS WOULD LOSE IT OVER THIS! I still get chills multiple times watching and listening to this!
A major note behind this album is that previous to releasing this, Nate had been in a mental hospital and had battled with suicidal thoughts very heavily. The entire album is sort of his dark and deep journey through all of that. Some were even written in the hospital (The song Nate being one of them).

@@malochy2473 I love your story and I am so glad you are still here!!! Congrats on kicking major ass and being a survivor ♥️♥️♥️
This video was created in an abandoned amusement park. This in NF’s mind.
You guys make me not want to watch anyone elses reaction to NF. you guys have the best reactions
My favorite part of y’all’s reactions now is the little noises you both make. The surprised Ohs and Ahs.
This is one of my favorite videos. So many bars that speak to me and my mental issues. You feel this one. Real Music!!!
You guys have the best reactions! Change is up next! It's my favorite NF song. I can't wait for you to react to Change and Nate!
Insane!!!His lyrical ability off PLANET!!#NFREALMUSIC 🔥
Awesome reaction! Cheers and antios guys
I like how NF gets better with each album, I can honestly only think of a few artist that keeps constantly evolving in their music.
NF is the true GOAT!!
YES!! SO STOKED FOR THIS ONE! Pressing play now with my morning coffee ♥
Yo,Kyle's expressions are priceless and I saw stank face activated on Eric 🤣🤣🤣. You 2 keep bringing great reactions! Keep em coming!
I love that y’all are getting into NF like I did! I couldn’t get enough and his lyrics and bars continue blow me away!!!!
I ALMOST liked this reaction as much as the song itself!!! Y'all... Friday morning entertainment! I was dragging through, sipping on coffee and now I am SO energized!! This was amazing and y'all had us laughing with your facial expressions and reactions.
If OPTIONS is not on the list you have, PLEASE add it. It is very important to the journey! Can't wait for the next one!!
Also, congrats on the 20K!!!
Love the videos and glad Kayy got you on nf pointed him out to you but
It’s tragic that ‘only’ and ‘remember this’ were missed of the nf journey please go back to them after you have completed the journey
Epic reaction my dudes. Congrats on 20K!!
Thanks Elijah!
YES! This is one of my absolute favourites 😀
This is one of my favourite songs from NF! Another great reaction Kyle & Eric! Love you guys! Keep being your awesome selves 🙂
Looking for words to express this song...looking...looking...looking...i can't find them. It's to marvelous to explain. I'm so happy to be privileged to ear NF music. It's a true gift for us. Thanks Kyle and Eric to this another awesome reaction. NF surely is happy with sincere guys like you and to an incredible group of loyal fans. I'm sure are one nowadays😊
I've been watching you guys take this journey from the beginning, and I've been so excited for you guys to get to this song. I think it's one of NF's best
Been waiting for this one!😂 best reaction to him spitting super fast I've seen
im not sure what all songs are on the list for the search but you guys definetly have to check out. change, my stress, only, and why.
Friday made, awesome reaction 😃😁👌🏾. On The Search album he's searching for freedom and that's symbolized by him leaving his cage, the other people changing clothes from black to white, having their fake smiles wiped off, and being in a queue to hand away their burdens. He does hand over two balloons but remains with a bunch other. The hand must be God in my opinion. And yes that phone is Fame still ringing 📞
Couldn‘t hardly wait until u got to this👏🏻👏🏻such a banger🔥🔥 exceptional reaction as always! Thank you!!
This is the song that got me into NF still one of my faves so amazing.
You guys consistently make me smile with your reactions, its like re experiencing the journey all over again for the first time. Alot of the NF family have already come through and explained some things but ultimately this music video is a work of art and is open to interpretation and just adds to the mythos that is NF. The entire album is complete fire and I can't wait for your reaction to 'Nate' and 'When I grow up' be warned though, Nate is heavy. Its not as hard to get through as 'How could you leave us' but its definitely emotional.
Have been waiting so long for you guy's to finally get to this song!!! I'm so happy you went through the journey, so many other reaction channels will have this song and video as like thier second or third NF song ever and they get so lost. So I'm very happy you guy's started at the begin and worked your way up. Really hope you guy's don't skip Returns, it's alot like Real but 3 times better (in my opinion) as other people have said this whole album is so SO GOOD!!
Been a subscriber since beginning of your journey and have truly enjoyed it. Counting days down though to the Clouds Album. NF did it again...it's off the chart fire! Eric called out NF's "layers" to which he has a song called Layers. Always enjoy the reactions! Great Job!
I was waiting for this one. I genuinely LOVE watching your reactions to this artistic genius.
I think the beauty of NF videos is that he leaves a lot up to interpretation, if it works for you, then that's what it means. It could mean one thing to one person and another to someone else and yet they're both correct.
Been listening to NF for years and watched many reactors. Eric is the first I've seen pick up on the song title, Leave Me Alone, and fame line. That never occurred to me, 🔥. So many layers, its incredible.
His beats are really just so amazing and original, i love that. Before, i really didn't like any rap music but since i first listened to Therapy Session, the first one i've ever heard from him, i knew he was something else. Now he is my number one Artist and i love every song he makes. How i never heard from him before, i don't know, but i am so glad i found him. His music helped me a lot since then and surely still will in the future. Have fun and enjoy the rest of the NF journey, it gets even better the farther you go
This one was filmed in the abandoned six flags new Orleans. All the people are fans. There was a call out for fans in the area to be in the video. I wish I could have been!
Leave me alone is my #1 song from nf, love to seen you guys react to it!!^^ keep up the great work guys!!
I literally stay up till 3am to catch your NF reactions lol! Love it!!
Yesssss!!! Love this song!! The meaning of the video is often debated, some people believe the people in white are getting over their " burdens" and it's a good thing and want NF to out on the white clothes while others believe the people in white are just masking their burdens to fit in with society and NF sticks out like a sore thumb because he doesn't not mask anything no matter how unpopular that can make him.
You decide what you see depicted in NF's art.
Now please keep in mind while you check out the rest of this album that NF had the idea to bring someone inspirational and positive in this album, but he was going to one of his worst cases of depression while writing and doing this album. But keep in mind " Clouds the mixtape is a polar opposite.
Don't worry not giving anything away
When Eric pointed out “I sent him this song” meant “I sent him ‘Leave Me Alone’”…first time I ever made that connection. Dope reaction
“How does he do it every time?”
Perfect description of NF. No other artist consistently delivers and connects like this.
This is the song that got me to listen to NF. I usually only listen to metal and then I found this.
Honestly guys, I suspect I speak for everyone when I say we would've happy watched a 30 minute reaction to this one. Sooooo much to talk about!
@rykerroad
YYESSSS!!! First thing in the morning when I turn my tv, I immediately go to your channel. Nothing makes my day more than your NF and Falling in Reverse reactions!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
I HAVE WATCHED ALL OF YALLS JOURNEY VIDEOS IN 2 DAYS.
YALL ARE BIG BROTHERS I NEVER HAD. I love ya!!!
I love this comment, thank you coltcaine! So happy you're here 🤗 Welcome to Rykerroad!
@@rykerroadMOM3123 Heck, I just restarted their NF Journey and I’m just as excited to watch it again, Have you watched it mom?
@@ColtnocapI have and I'm loving it 💜 I've learned so much from their content and subscriber requests, it's a wild ride! 😄🤘🍷
Yesssss finally! Been waiting for this reaction top 5 NF song for me. Was really hoping you would get the no name reference about fame and "I sent him this song" bar. Can't wait for you to do layers probably my top NF song the cadence switches is something I've never heard of before... Only other artist that does that is Tech N9ne. The reaction with that collab is gonna be a banger too. Look forward to the rest of this journey you'll definitely enjoy the rest.
Something else that I've noticed from this video is the color of his shirt. All the other black shirts look newer. His is a dull black, which I think was done to show that he has had these problems longer than other people. Just a small detail that I thought was cool
Love these reactions you guys!! So genuine, and NF will always be a baller!! Such a vibe with this song!
There is so much imagery to unpack with this video, it is probably his most complex video. His producer is named Tommee Profitt and they have been working together since 2011. I have watched it so many times and I still don't think I have grasped all of it yet. The main thing that sticks out to me is have I think all of the people in the Search and Leave me Alone's videos are his fans. The town represents him seeing his fans giving their fake smiles, and their black clothes, and their burdens away, while he keeps walking through without giving them up. At the end he is showing that he is willing to give a couple of them away showing that he is working on himself. If you notice that at the beginning of the third verse the old man in the shopping cart next to him is the older him in the Let You Down video, he is showing a glimpse of himself in the future if he stays the way he is. At the end of The Search video you see one of his "fans" or someone who has given up their smile, burdens, and black clothes, gives him his white clothes but he still has not put them on yet. I would imagine in a future album he will start wearing a white jumpsuit but that is just me hoping. At least these are things that I have put together myself. The shopping cart I think represents the cage, showing that he still needs that comfort zone but at least he is able to move forward and not be stuck in one place. Hopefully this helps a little, but still all my own opinion and observation.
4:55 just let yall know he gave yall a hint to “hope” when the “fans” pointed.. so he had this planned all along… little Easter egg yall missed
8:38 That Rhyme Scheme was 16 bars of him describing his Character and work ethics and his shows Performances.
Man watching all of these reactions really makes me miss new NF music and his concerts!
Fairly new to your channel. Love the reactions! Huge NF fan here. You guys are really entertaining and in your reactions and I appreciate. Back when he did the song No Name, he said that a fan called and he wasn't ready for the fame and attention at the time. As you mentioned in other videos he really loves his fans, but he is sort of a loner and doesn't like all the limelight. He said he will get back to it by album four in the song No Name. This is what he considers album four and this is the song. All the connections that he makes it in his songs with past songs is really incredible. He's truly a lyrical genius! Keep up the great work, very entertaining. As for now, I have some videos to catch up on... 😉
Hey Jason, welcome to Rykerroad! 😁🤘😎
@@rykerroadMOM3123 Thank you for the kind welcome!
I love your guys reactions. This is one of my favorite songs by NF especially the video portion of it. But the cart represents the cage from perception on wheels. The best songs are yet to come so enjoy guys!!
Can't wait for y'all to get to 'Clouds'...Kyle might prolly stand up in awe
Watched your whole journey and loved all of it , can't wait for you to get to clouds the mixtape and see his progression and have a bit of fun
You are so close to some absolute gems. Keep going down the journey and you're going to love it more and more
How one can actually hear and feel him wrestling with Doubt in this song is nothing short of genius.
I love this song because…what it means to you….is what it’s meant to mean. Keep up the good work!!
Woohooo!!!! One of my favorites!!! Goodness I love your reactions, can't wait until next week. Also, many people say the shopping cart is still his cage but it's getting smaller but he can't fully leave it.
"NF will change your life." FACTS 👏👏👏
The gasp/AWH!/sigh of satisfaction says it all. You hear some line, and you're just like "yo, there's so much to unpack there". Is it literal, is it a metaphor, is it a diss, a challenge, a warning?
I've been waiting for this one. To see your excitement and to know what lies ahead , I'm here for it !!!!
Thank you!
NF is the best kind of medicine 🙌
And I’ve seen Ronnie react to many many reactors and you are the only ones he’s praised like that! And he listened to your banter afterwards….you are on your way guys….TV show….you need a tv show! ❤️🔥👏🤞
Omgosh, Yessss!! I've said this for years 😂🤘❤️
One of my favorites
So many readings, helping people leave their burdens, him leaving his burdens, says to fame to leave him alone and then gets pissed, layers, layers, he got Layers
NOBODY I’ve seen catches the “I sent him this song” bar!! Top shelf tract boys, well done!!!
I still remember freshman year of High School when I first heard this song. I practically listened to it nonstop that entire year to the point where I think of freshman year when I hear the song
Been waiting for this one!!
dang you got like 3k more subs just in a couple of days!! so awesome!!
Amazing reaction! It's always like I am listening again for the first time along with ya! Thanks guys! Would love for you guys to go back and do an in-depth breakdown of the lyrics together, like that podcast you talked about.
this man helped me through so much, two toxic relationships Nates words helped me more than anything.
Hey fellas! Great reaction again. Y'all don't miss. So, they were wiping off the fake smiles in the tent. Not drawing them on. My guess as to the changing from dark clothes to white is going from darkness to purity. Or perhaps getting the mental help they need. Love from Cali.
It literally looks like some of NF’s lyrics smack Kyle right in the face. Love the journey guys can’t wait for the rest!
That black scene in the beginning of verse 3...is people that died with their burdens or rather got old with it.. That rickety cart with the old man explains it... Then when the song was building.. He has to go back to daylight again to try and get things right on time...... NF is a extraordinary
Your NF reactions are so amazing, I would watch you react to every single one of his songs
As always you guys deliver another great reaction. In my humble opinion the end of the video represents the Savior reaching through the veil to make NF burdens lighter if he chooses to hand them over to him. (Something we all can do)
Psalms 55:22 / Mathew 11:28
Love u guys !!!! We thank you for the NF reactions !!!
Great reaction boys!
I love the line about being scared to let go of his balloons because then he'll be more afraid. The fears and doubts and burdens that we've learned to live with become part of us and if we lose that there's a fear of what will replace that. So freaking deep. He'd rather live with the demons that he knows then worry about the unknown.
