I like how in the first verse he says "why has nothing changed?" But in the second one he says "why can nothing stay the same?" It kinda gives off the sense of not being satified with anything. Does anyone else agree?
This is home: "Get a load of this monster, he doesn't know how to communicate" Pigeon: "I am not a beast, I'm not a monster, I don't care what you say" I love it
ik chloe moriondo said it already but this song really does capture what dissociation feels like. the steady beat and melody and the sound of apathy and numbness in robbie's voice and in the lyrics reflect the feeling of numbness. the music video is very weird: not *wrong* but it feels off enough to be uncomfortable, like something isn't right from the blankness of it, things aren't wrong but out of place and not entirely right. everyone experiences dissociation differently, but this song paired with the video perfectly capture dissociation to me. it's nice to come back and listen to this every once and a while and know i'm not alone when i feel like this.
Same, and it also describes how psychosis feels like for me aswell (the mildly distorted state of everything, the actions that in retrospect don't fully make sense, the way the lyrics aren't fully coherent and even contradictory, thats how situations, what i think, and so on are when im in psychosis. Things make sense to me at the time but when i look back after gaining outside perspective i see that it was distorted and how. Things i think in that time aren't fully coherent, there's gaps, but i can't tell its condractory or doesn't make sense until later. For me, when i am in psychosis all my emotions are dialed up and it effects my thinking, thats what takes over instead of rationality.
Lyrics : Circling around the kitchen Why has nothing changed? Feed cucumber sandwich to a pigeon Chippin' nail varnish on guitar strings Got a pillow case made out of money Feelin' pretty fake when I wake up Tissue paper castle paper caddy Scaly little friend’s got my backup [Chorus] Didn’t give me time to say goodbye in the way that I wanted to So honey close your eyes and stay like you’re supposed to do Don’t you wanna give me time to write another song for you? [Verse 2] Fuzzy feelin' and I miss you Why can nothing stay the same? Fuckin' stupid head, I’m gonna kill you Melt all your art and drink the paint I am not a beast, I’m not a monster I don't care what you say You can’t have the bad guys without a hero And I’m the only one who’s got a cape [Chorus] Didn’t give me time to say goodbye in the way that I wanted to So honey close your eyes and stay like you’re supposed to do Don’t know how I’m gonna live without But I’ll stay strong for you
I love how at first you say “why has nothing changed?” but then later you say “why can nothing stay the same?” It’s so simple but I think it captures a big feeling that others, and I, can really relate to
Funny the dissociation that loss can bring on. Everything becomes surreal and so in an attempt to keep things the way they used to be one becomes separated from their body and the world around them. (what it's like from personal experience)
This song has become a part of my morning ritual as I always listen to it while drinking my tea, it’s really calming and helps me with my anxiety before going to school
Yes! A lot of people started talking about how Cavetown got them into Moomin! It was the opposite for me haha. I listened to Lemon Boy few months ago and now I'm obsessed
this is simultaneously inspiring, creepy, sad, melancholy and alienated, and I don't know how you do it but I'm loving Pigeon so much at the moment. I hope you know what a beautifully eerie masterpiece you've created. keep it up!
this whole music video gives off vibes of pain, suffering, sleep deprivation, and wanting to give up and I don't want to say it's relatable but it really is. and that's why I love your music so much, because it's so easy to relate to and the words go deeper than just what they are.
Maybe that's why animals like his music. Animals, don't really understand human speech, but when they hear Robbie's music, they hear more than the words like what we're hearing right now.
What I love about music and art in general is that you can show emotions and feelings to other people and communicate in places where language fails. The song and this video together do this beautifully. It's like I can feel what you were feeling when you wrote the song. Love it. Thank you.

All of the blue....it makes this all the more terrifying...but it is so great...I'm so scared omg! It's weird to think that this can be a real feeling. He could have felt like this when writting the song, I could have felt like this without knowing what to call the feeling. The feeling is merely BLUE! This video literally has me shaking.
ya yEET YAH I watched it quite a few times to fully understand what I think the blue is...but for Robin it could be totally different. And that's another point, this could be interpreted in that way or in so many others. He's just a genius!
@Noobmaster69 @Laura Maria Trejos Becantur I'm sorry. . . :( Some people don't understand but a cat can sometimes mean as much to you as a person, sometimes be a better friend than people. T-T

(my own personal meaning for the song. i know the majority say it’s about disassociation but again, this is just my personal connection to the video) for me this video captures what my depression is like. the sheer lack of motivation causes everything to fade away and i feel everything and nothing at the same time. it’s like, my body’s a weight but it’s also not there. i feel like i can lay there for hours and it’ll feel like a lifetime, yet i’m okay with that. reality kinda pauses for a while.
Almost everything was blue... he looked so calm... the way the stared at the Camara it’s like if he is actually seeing us... it’s sorta scary it gave me chills but just feeling the mood... all blue..
I like how he pictures that he becomes a hero not only for Caspar, but also for himself. Symbolised by his cape protecting him from the cold. This guy is so strong for recognising that things will be alright on his own, and I admire him so much. Also loved the aesthetics of the rooftop(?) scene, they were so meaningful to me, having experienced dissociation myself.
i listen to your songs while at school (we're allowed to) and it calms me so much. i have very bad social anxiety and just anxiety in general, so having your songs gives me a sense of peace and help me get through my day without any breakdown :)
WOAH. This is what happens to me! I have really bad social anxiety and anxiety in general and music is basically a temporary cure for me! But I'm not actually allowed to listen to music at school.
Same here. Cavetown unknowinly helped me through so much crap in my life. I don't know what would happen if his songs wouldn't calm me and build me up. It's a bad point in my life today and that's why I'm here. Tommorrow will be better. And I hope it will be better for you too
Saw an Instagram post from Noah Finnce last month, that mentioned Cavetown...and I thought, "ok, let's see who this guy is.."...hooked like a fish, ever since then....
i cant even say anything that i wanna say right now because im just so overwhelmed with how great this is and i just love everything about it & the lyrics really just got me good, i think this is what the kids call feeling "shook"
I cried! This song has so much meaning to me! When you say "Didn't give me time to say goodbye in the way that I wanted to, so honey close your eyes and stay like your supposed to do. Don't know how im gonna live without but I'll stay strong for you" And "why can nothing stay the same" it hits me cause I have lost many friends that I never wanted to leave and that I never had the chance or guts to say goodbye the way that I truly wanted to. Thank You cause now I will listen to this song to remember the ones that left me and I didn't say goodbye the way I truly needed to.
I knowww. I listened to it a lot when a friend tried to kill themself. They were thought dead for a long time by me, but they were only in a coma... it’s a long story, but... I’m really grateful for them being alive. This song brings back all the feels from that time period and it makes me cry every time.
“You can’t have the bad guys without a hero and I’m the only one that’s got a cape” *appears with a blanket wrapped around him* The hero we don’t deserve but need and appreciate

I love this song so much. Not just because of the visuals and the interesting incorporation of the bass into the camera work, but because it captures perfectly what I mean when I say I space out. I don't like to go so far as to say I dissociate, but I think it's in the same realm at least. I have no expression on my face, I just feel limp, and like I need to lie back on my bed and stare at the ceiling for years. Sometimes I make random sounds and say words to just make sure I can still talk, and a lot of the time, these words make it into my music. It makes me feel like a catatonic toddler, but it happens a lot and this song helps me reflect on it when I'm out of the "funk". Thank you for this masterpiece. 💛🌻
Me: I like this song! Brain: OOOOH i like it too! Me: Wait... Brain: You know what that means! Me: PlEaSe No Brain: Listen to it until you hate it! >:D me: Oh god save me

I wonder if it was a Moomin reference because it looked like Moominmama serving the lemon juice and Moomin in the background. I also know that Robbie does have some sort of connection with Moominvalley because he made a song called "Homesick" for the new 2019 Moominvalley series. He also added the lyric "Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever" to his song Lemon Boy.
@@zerozeroeszeroed oh and in the cavetown archives when he listens to his old music theres a moomin outro! Theres a lot of moomin references in robbies videos.
I just lost my grandma around a week ago. This song is something I can really relate to right now. Especially the "Didnt give me time to say goodbye, in the way that I wanted to." I really miss her. Thanks Robbie for writing this song.
2:00 pov: you went up to the top of a cliff to see the stars, the city lights, etc. and you were expecting to run into the hook man (if you ran into anyone up there) but instead of the hook man its just Robbie in a blanket singing ominously
ROBBIE, THIS IS AMAZING AND YOU ARE GETTING BIGGER I CAN'T DEAL THIS I WAS UNPREPARED this is amazing and i love how the video is made like, the video fits the music perfectly and the music is so calm but the lyrics hit you a lot thats so impressive im so proud of you rob 💛
You truly are just so talented and I really enjoy your music. The first song I ever heard you sing was "This Is Home" and I reacted like "WHO IS THIS BEAUTIFUL SOUL" and found you which is great and haven't stop listening since. You have such a unique personality in which you're able to spit out lyrics that are so simple yet beautiful and meaningful, and that I love about your music. I really hope that you stick with your passion in music because I can see you appearing on the radio and talk shows, etc. And maybe you won't see this comment but I want to let you know that your talent has really changed my life in a way I can't exactly put down in words, so thank you. Please always have that sweet and amazing personality.
Here's my theory... This is all tied in with the song Green that was also on this album. Okay so, in Green Robin talks about how he got flowers that are "green and blue to match the pictures." Then in the chorus he explains how "you look so good in green. I hope you're well. And you look so good with him. And I'm proud of you still." So how does this tie in with Pigeon, you ask? Well in this song Robin says that he's "Circling around the kitchen." and that "Nothing changed." Now, because we know that he said "You look so good with him" we can infer that Robin went through a breakup. (Obviously Koruu, but what else?) So, he says "Feeling pretty fake when I wake up" meaning that he feels fake, feels defeated, and feels like nothing goes his way. He then says "Scaly little friends got my back up" meaning that he only has these scaly little friends (probably referencing Caspar) left. In the chorus he says "Didn't give me time to say goodbye in the way that I wanted to. That means that he wanted to say more but the person he got in a breakup with didn't let him. That goes back to where he says "feeling pretty fake when I wake up" because he feels fake and defeated. In the next line he says "Stay like you're supposed to do." He didn't want this girl to leave. He didn't want her to go but he has to get over it. In the second verse he says "Fuzzy feeling and I miss you." Meaning that he obivously misses her. "Stupid head I'm gonna kill you" meaning his anxiety is through the roof and that he's thinking he's not good enough. "Melt all your art and drink the paint" meaning he wants somebody (Probably the girls new boyfriend) to, well, die. "I am not a beast I'm not a monster" means that his ex is accusing him of thing and with that he is denying it or it means that his mind is making him think he's not good enough and that he's just a monster and he is denying himself. "I don't care what you say" meaning that he doesn't care what other people say he's not a monster. "You can't have the bad guys without a hero, and I'm the only one who's got a cape." that means that well... He's gone crazy... and he's denied it too much. And then the chorus rolls around again and now he's starting to realize he was wrong. "Don't know how I'm gonan live with that... But I'll stay strong for you" means that he is finally realizing he needs to move on. Okay, now back to the song Green. What's talked about in Green actually happens after what's talked about in Pigeon. In green he wants his ex to be happy. He wants her to forget about him and move on. "Mess in the kitchen" refers back to Pigeon where he was "Circling around the kitchen" probably where they had an aguement or something. (Side note: In the Pigeon video there are pots and pans and other kitchen related things scattered all over the place.) "I was so dissapointed" probably means that when he got angry that she left he made a mess and now he's dissapointed that he acted so childish. "I guess I got to my head" pretty much confirms my theory there. "And I was too young to understand it" also confirms that. "I get it now that it's too late. I never stopped feeling guilty." again he feels guilty about driving her away, making a mess, and beeing so childish. "I'm over it, I promise that." what he's saying there means that he's over the breakup and he won't bother her again. "I just gotta sing it out of me" is just saying what I was saying. Chorus... And now "Take care of my shirt warm and red" means that he gave her a shirt and it was warm and he wants her to take care of it... (That was obvious) "I hope you think of me still as your friend" meaning he still wants to be friends. "I hope you love yourself, your body and heart. And I hope you feel happy, that's all I want" I saying that he wants her to be happy and love herself. BUT HEY THAT'S JUST A THEORY! A MUSIC THE- Oh... Wrong thing... (Edit: 9 months later and I’m still getting likes... so, thanks. Anyways, a lot of people are talking about how Robbie is aromantic and I already knew that, but this is just supposed to be a fictional world that he portrays in his songs... sorry to disappoint.) (Edit 2: An entire year and here we are. So, first, thanks for all the likes and responses. I wanna clarify that this theory is just simply a theory and, in no way, is supposed to be clarified and real. It's fiction but it just ties the two songs together. That's all! :D)
Robbie, you have something so uniquely different and real about you that is hard to detect right away, but it's amazing! I've been here for so long and I AM SO PROUD. Keep up! xxx
"Didn't give me time to say goodbye in the way that I wanted to" It reminded me of that moment when I didn't say goodbye to my mother and father, they drove off and crashed in a car accident. I cry when I hear those words in a song=(

I like how in the first verse he says "why has nothing changed?" But in the second one he says "why can nothing stay the same?" It kinda gives off the sense of not being satified with anything. Does anyone else agree?
i agree!
This song gave me vibes of spd when I heard the first and second verse. They counter each other so well
I feel like it's about wanting stuff to change, but then regretting it once it actually does because you didn't really think about it before

All of the blue....it makes this all the more terrifying...but it is so great...I'm so scared omg! It's weird to think that this can be a real feeling. He could have felt like this when writting the song, I could have felt like this without knowing what to call the feeling. The feeling is merely BLUE! This video literally has me shaking.
Jai Stabler oml I didn’t realise st first this is so odd
ya yEET YAH I watched it quite a few times to fully understand what I think the blue is...but for Robin it could be totally different. And that's another point, this could be interpreted in that way or in so many others. He's just a genius!
I really want the blue duckies
i was looking for a key similarity!! the color blue had crossed my mind once but i brushed it aside!
i was thinking the exact same thing
"Didnt give me time to say goodbye in the way I wanted to" reminds me of my cat I lost about a year ago.. THE FEELS I'M nOt CrYing
same for me, she just disappeared one day :(
oh... well I hope it didn't go to hell
@Noobmaster69 @Laura Maria Trejos Becantur I'm sorry. . . :( Some people don't understand but a cat can sometimes mean as much to you as a person, sometimes be a better friend than people. T-T
funnily enough I cried about that line because my cat died last week and fuck that line reminds me of him so much

I kept hearing "Melt all your heart and drink the pain" Idk
I got this lyric from genius
heck dude you just visually communicated my dissociation, good tune by a good boy
(my own personal meaning for the song. i know the majority say it’s about disassociation but again, this is just my personal connection to the video)
for me this video captures what my depression is like. the sheer lack of motivation causes everything to fade away and i feel everything and nothing at the same time. it’s like, my body’s a weight but it’s also not there. i feel like i can lay there for hours and it’ll feel like a lifetime, yet i’m okay with that. reality kinda pauses for a while.
I hope you're doing good.
I dont know if i should cry because i relate or because I'm very proud. Im so proud of you cavetown❤

Almost everything was blue... he looked so calm... the way the stared at the Camara it’s like if he is actually seeing us... it’s sorta scary it gave me chills but just feeling the mood... all blue..
It's for dissociation disorders
I like how he pictures that he becomes a hero not only for Caspar, but also for himself. Symbolised by his cape protecting him from the cold. This guy is so strong for recognising that things will be alright on his own, and I admire him so much.
Also loved the aesthetics of the rooftop(?) scene, they were so meaningful to me, having experienced dissociation myself.
Yes.

i listen to your songs while at school (we're allowed to) and it calms me so much. i have very bad social anxiety and just anxiety in general, so having your songs gives me a sense of peace and help me get through my day without any breakdown :)
WOAH. This is what happens to me! I have really bad social anxiety and anxiety in general and music is basically a temporary cure for me! But I'm not actually allowed to listen to music at school.
Same here. Cavetown unknowinly helped me through so much crap in my life. I don't know what would happen if his songs wouldn't calm me and build me up. It's a bad point in my life today and that's why I'm here. Tommorrow will be better. And I hope it will be better for you too

Anyone just randomly find Cavetown one day and now he is your favorite artist?
My friend kept on playing Talk to Me on repeat and I hated it then in math class, I just started listening to it.
I was listening to chloe and a song by cavetown came on and I was like “alright time to listen to his entire discography”
Saw an Instagram post from Noah Finnce last month, that mentioned Cavetown...and I thought, "ok, let's see who this guy is.."...hooked like a fish, ever since then....
Yea kinda

I cried! This song has so much meaning to me! When you say "Didn't give me time to say goodbye in the way that I wanted to, so honey close your eyes and stay like your supposed to do. Don't know how im gonna live without but I'll stay strong for you" And "why can nothing stay the same" it hits me cause I have lost many friends that I never wanted to leave and that I never had the chance or guts to say goodbye the way that I truly wanted to. Thank You cause now I will listen to this song to remember the ones that left me and I didn't say goodbye the way I truly needed to.
Christianna Rawls ikr,,, i really relate to his song.. :/
I knowww. I listened to it a lot when a friend tried to kill themself. They were thought dead for a long time by me, but they were only in a coma... it’s a long story, but... I’m really grateful for them being alive. This song brings back all the feels from that time period and it makes me cry every time.
Yeah me too, I assume you moved away as did it.
We miss you Casper.. ❤️

WHAT A WAY TO START MY DAYY
luv this robin
I love this song so much. Not just because of the visuals and the interesting incorporation of the bass into the camera work, but because it captures perfectly what I mean when I say I space out. I don't like to go so far as to say I dissociate, but I think it's in the same realm at least. I have no expression on my face, I just feel limp, and like I need to lie back on my bed and stare at the ceiling for years. Sometimes I make random sounds and say words to just make sure I can still talk, and a lot of the time, these words make it into my music. It makes me feel like a catatonic toddler, but it happens a lot and this song helps me reflect on it when I'm out of the "funk". Thank you for this masterpiece. 💛🌻
HECK YEAH!!! This is so cool!!! Are we gonna get behind the scenes as well?

“ Some lemon juice? “
“ You think gangsters drink JUICE ma’am? “
i loved that
I wonder if it was a Moomin reference because it looked like Moominmama serving the lemon juice and Moomin in the background. I also know that Robbie does have some sort of connection with Moominvalley because he made a song called "Homesick" for the new 2019 Moominvalley series. He also added the lyric "Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever" to his song Lemon Boy.
@@zerozeroeszeroed it is a comic panel from moomins. Also in the song "empty bed" theres a moomin plushie.

You truly are just so talented and I really enjoy your music. The first song I ever heard you sing was "This Is Home" and I reacted like "WHO IS THIS BEAUTIFUL SOUL" and found you which is great and haven't stop listening since. You have such a unique personality in which you're able to spit out lyrics that are so simple yet beautiful and meaningful, and that I love about your music. I really hope that you stick with your passion in music because I can see you appearing on the radio and talk shows, etc. And maybe you won't see this comment but I want to let you know that your talent has really changed my life in a way I can't exactly put down in words, so thank you.
Please always have that sweet and amazing personality.
Same here!
Same here, what a coincidence
Avery Pelletier same
i love the effect when the bass goes
This was unexpected and wonderful , don’t mind me as I think about this video for the rest of the week.
Here's my theory...
This is all tied in with the song Green that was also on this album.
Okay so, in Green Robin talks about how he got flowers that are "green and blue to match the pictures." Then in the chorus he explains how "you look so good in green. I hope you're well. And you look so good with him. And I'm proud of you still." So how does this tie in with Pigeon, you ask? Well in this song Robin says that he's "Circling around the kitchen." and that "Nothing changed." Now, because we know that he said "You look so good with him" we can infer that Robin went through a breakup. (Obviously Koruu, but what else?) So, he says "Feeling pretty fake when I wake up" meaning that he feels fake, feels defeated, and feels like nothing goes his way. He then says "Scaly little friends got my back up" meaning that he only has these scaly little friends (probably referencing Caspar) left. In the chorus he says "Didn't give me time to say goodbye in the way that I wanted to. That means that he wanted to say more but the person he got in a breakup with didn't let him. That goes back to where he says "feeling pretty fake when I wake up" because he feels fake and defeated. In the next line he says "Stay like you're supposed to do." He didn't want this girl to leave. He didn't want her to go but he has to get over it. In the second verse he says "Fuzzy feeling and I miss you." Meaning that he obivously misses her. "Stupid head I'm gonna kill you" meaning his anxiety is through the roof and that he's thinking he's not good enough. "Melt all your art and drink the paint" meaning he wants somebody (Probably the girls new boyfriend) to, well, die. "I am not a beast I'm not a monster" means that his ex is accusing him of thing and with that he is denying it or it means that his mind is making him think he's not good enough and that he's just a monster and he is denying himself. "I don't care what you say" meaning that he doesn't care what other people say he's not a monster. "You can't have the bad guys without a hero, and I'm the only one who's got a cape." that means that well... He's gone crazy... and he's denied it too much. And then the chorus rolls around again and now he's starting to realize he was wrong. "Don't know how I'm gonan live with that... But I'll stay strong for you" means that he is finally realizing he needs to move on. Okay, now back to the song Green. What's talked about in Green actually happens after what's talked about in Pigeon. In green he wants his ex to be happy. He wants her to forget about him and move on. "Mess in the kitchen" refers back to Pigeon where he was "Circling around the kitchen" probably where they had an aguement or something. (Side note: In the Pigeon video there are pots and pans and other kitchen related things scattered all over the place.) "I was so dissapointed" probably means that when he got angry that she left he made a mess and now he's dissapointed that he acted so childish. "I guess I got to my head" pretty much confirms my theory there. "And I was too young to understand it" also confirms that. "I get it now that it's too late. I never stopped feeling guilty." again he feels guilty about driving her away, making a mess, and beeing so childish. "I'm over it, I promise that." what he's saying there means that he's over the breakup and he won't bother her again. "I just gotta sing it out of me" is just saying what I was saying. Chorus... And now "Take care of my shirt warm and red" means that he gave her a shirt and it was warm and he wants her to take care of it... (That was obvious) "I hope you think of me still as your friend" meaning he still wants to be friends. "I hope you love yourself, your body and heart. And I hope you feel happy, that's all I want" I saying that he wants her to be happy and love herself. BUT HEY THAT'S JUST A THEORY! A MUSIC THE- Oh... Wrong thing...
(Edit: 9 months later and I’m still getting likes... so, thanks. Anyways, a lot of people are talking about how Robbie is aromantic and I already knew that, but this is just supposed to be a fictional world that he portrays in his songs... sorry to disappoint.)
(Edit 2: An entire year and here we are. So, first, thanks for all the likes and responses. I wanna clarify that this theory is just simply a theory and, in no way, is supposed to be clarified and real. It's fiction but it just ties the two songs together. That's all! :D)
But it's just a theory..... A GAME THEORY
I like this theory. This is me
This is a great theory but Cavetown is aromatic? Unless you’re referring to metaphorical song Cavetown.
Complete Disaster he’s aromatic, he gives off a pleasant smell
