I absolutely love this song! the harsh noises contrast with the bubbly sound of Sarah's voice to create a song that's truly authentic in telling the history of acting in front of a camera, trying to portrait someone that you're not, and eventually driving yourself insane.
I love how in context of the album the final part of this song is completely ignored, the usual charming sounds are picked up immediatly after that noise wall with intro to Flyway, it sounds like Sarah quickly calmed herself after a horrible panic attack
Even someone who seems happy all the time still has their dark moments :/ That's what this song say to me at least.It's beautiful and cute in its own way.
My interpretation of the song: All the "acting" references are really about her personality as the front-woman of the band. She's established this image of herself as a carefree, innocent, childlike person, and she basically had to keep up that image at all times because the music doesn't really work otherwise. She's probably had to fake happiness so many times because of that. The "role" started taking over her life until other aspects of her personality were completely overshadowed. The last shot in the video of her crying is just to say: "I can't always be that girl singing about eating shrimps and going to the beach."
the end of a play or musical you're in is such a uniquely sad experience. it's like shipping every friend you've made in the last few months off in a box to other ends of the world most likely not to be seen again. at best you have pictures and a signed playbill. this is even the case with the shittiest high school play you have ever seen.
When I step onto the stage, see the curtain raise I'm apparent, I've got someone to play All the crowd, they're in the seats Looking straight at me for an answer They just get what they see They applaud and the usher's locking the door till the matinee So I get to know the cast, though it doesn't last I'm a pro but I won't take it too far Now I know I shouldn't get comfy on the set Every time it all comes down when we end That's the truth that the stage school doesn't teach you But it's good to know It takes much more than just learning the script You see, you gotta take the part and believe it Oh, I sometimes make up all of my lines on the spot But I will always give what I got I thought I was only acting But I felt exactly like it was all for real I sure didn't know it hurt so bad That no rehearsal could show you how to feel inside What you gotta hide Where to put your pride When to realize you've had your time Find another role Carry on the show You should be able to feel a performance with your whole body and soul Now I'm going to teach you everything And you, and you, and you, and you Oh, I sometimes make up all of my lines on the spot But I will always give what I got I thought I was only acting But I felt exactly like it was all for real I sure didn't know it hurt so bad That no rehearsal could show you how to feel inside What you gotta hide Where to put your pride When to realize you've had your time Find another role Carry on the show I thought I was only acting But I felt exactl-exactl-exactl-exactl-exactl What you gotta hi- How to feel inside What you gotta hide Find another role
Implying that there isnt a trampoline defeats the message of that original song, only acting is more about falling and not being sure there is a trampoline (even though there always is one)
For the first time in a while, a songs left me baffled. I dunno if it's a sincere song about Sarah and her plight with playing a character on stage. Or if it's just a massive piss take of pop rock bands. With the music videos style and theme and all. Or both. Either way, it's a catchy jam.
i know a lot of the comments are jokes but this song invokes such a strong feeling in me. like even though i dont consider myself a performer, i still heavily relate to this song and it impacts me a lot. i think the feeling behind this song is something all creatives have felt at some point
Man I wish I could listen to this for the first time again, nothing beats that first listen where you have to take a few minutes afterwards just to process it
@@hoppyknitz9377 First off, I apologize for coming off harsh and it's not the dumbest thing I've ever heard. DG has become one of the most popular bands in modern times who incorporate noise into their sound, so one can be forgiven for thinking they "popularized noise", especially considering that the age of the internet has blurred the line tremendously between what is considered "pop" and what is considered "indie" or "underground" Having said that, noise has been incredibly popular in music (particularly rock) going all the way back to the 70's, with bands like The Velvet Underground and Throbbing Gristle. Shit, the Beatles had a noise track on the White Album in the 60's. Throughout the 70's and 80's, it spread to all different kinds of genre's from electronic (Merzbow) to metal (Melvins, post-hardcore bands like Unsane) in the 90's. Today it's used everywhere, and Death Grips are just one of many bands to have elements of noise in their music.
This is some real psychological horror shit, I know good and well we all clicked on the vid expecting a happy new kkb song to brighten our day as usual. I’m actually extremely scared.
Right? Usually when a band has that twisted, eerie sound in their music, I can expect it because of how the rest of said bands discography is...but I had absolutely NO reason to expect KKB to go this route with that ending. I'm mixed...not sure how I feel about this song but very interested to hear whats next.
Gonna mess with all my friends by only playing the radio edit when they're around but one day play this version but act like nothing's wrong (I really can't believe that now 2 years on I have to clarify I was joking, please stop feeling the need to call me out on not doing it please ok thank you
i haven't heard this song until now. it's such a well written song. the hooky chorus sounds flows like the verses and even more so. it's only played a couple of times. it has the effect of making you play this on repeat. the beginning melody sounds like it belongs in an 90s twee pop song but that weezeresque chorus really is the pinnacle of this tune. it's so good!
KKB is excellent at making music that sticks in your head like glue, but it's impossible to learn all the words because it's either mostly in Japanese, or the song keeps being interrupted by nightmares.
Was going through KKB discography at night, already in bed, to cheer myself up a little. Just doing little dances in bed, carefree images in my mind, having a good time. The ending hit me like a truck, I thought I'm going to die.

Does she think she’s old and depressed, because this song says all the other songs are completely opposite of how she actually feels and it’s kind of messed up. Then the next song says she tried to explain, but we don’t get it. To be honest it’s kind of dark and I think I should check to see if she’s fine
To me this song represents how we wear so many masks and play some many roles we lose sight of ourselves. Especially if we had a co-dependent relationship.
@@sirrivet9557 right, as there was a definite parrallel in KKB "only acting" in their earlier years but becoming more "real" recently. But I just wrote about some of what the song meant for me. you know, the whole part about it feeling "like it was all for real" even though you were just going through the motions, accidentally falling in love, "find another role" being able to love again, but fighting through that feeling of putting on a show, just faking it... and it becoming your real self... idk its a multilayered song if you look at it line by line.
This kind of stuff actually does freak me out quite a lot and it's almost freaking midnight where I am. Don't know if I would be able to play this song again after hearing the full version for the first time... They really did a great job making us feel scared at the end, damn.
When my dad first heard it, he said "I don't think songs should do that... I don't like it" and got really upset lol... He was a teen in the 2000s so it just makes him feel like a cd he spent £10 on just broke lmao
how many shrimps do you have to slaughter? before you choke them till theyre purple? make sure that you kill a ton, murder's pretty fun. *flute screetching in the backround*
wow.. i remember, three years ago i was in class, just looking for a song to listen to while i work and i suddenly remembered kkb and searched them to see how they were now. this music video had just come out like a couple hours ago or a day before(?) so i decided to listen to it. so glad i did because from then on kkb has been my fav band ever since. i come back to this song every february and i just realized tomorrow is the anniversary of this mv omg
DUDE I WAS IN LIKETHE EXACT SAME POSITION. Lil dumbass me sitting in class I check my phone and they released a new album and I hadn’t heard this song yet. Now it defines me lmao
This video and song has such a huge place in my heart. I remember last year I listened to Bonito Generation and at the time I just found it annoying. I liked KKB’s vlogs, they seemed like really fun and nice people, I just didn’t really like their music So one day I stumbled upon this video and I thought eh sure I’ll give a go. And I thought it was a pretty good pop punky song and I actually quite liked it. I thought that’d be the end of it, but then the ending happened and my mind was absolutely blown. Everything I thought about KKB’s music was completely flipped on its head. I revisited Bonito Generation and ended up loving it. I later listened to Time n Place and loved that as well. Fast forward to now, October 2023, and all three of KKB’s albums are now some of my absolute favourite albums of all time. They are easily my favourite band of all time and their music has really got me through this otherwise incredibly difficult year. I know they probably won’t but if anyone from Kero Kero Bonito read this, thank you. I love you guys so much, I can’t thank you guys enough for how much your music has helped me, I’m very grateful. I’m so so glad I found this song, I have no idea where I’d be right now if I never rediscovered KKB

That's deep
Hold the fuck up-
Good analysis. I am convinced that this is the meaning of the song especially given KKB's recent direction.
not really that hidden after all, I'd Rather Sleep was in the first mixtape and its pretty depressing, this was always a lowkey element of KKB
Man, you really crushed that explanation
if kkb's earlier songs were educational children's show music, then this song is the lost episode creepypasta

Listen to the Radio Edit version of the song.
When I step onto the stage, see the curtain raise
I'm apparent, I've got someone to play
All the crowd, they're in the seats
Looking straight at me for an answer
They just get what they see
They applaud and the usher's locking the door till the matinee
So I get to know the cast, though it doesn't last
I'm a pro but I won't take it too far
Now I know I shouldn't get comfy on the set
Every time it all comes down when we end
That's the truth that the stage school doesn't teach you
But it's good to know
It takes much more than just learning the script
You see, you gotta take the part and believe it
Oh, I sometimes make up all of my lines on the spot
But I will always give what I got
I thought I was only acting
But I felt exactly like it was all for real
I sure didn't know it hurt so bad
That no rehearsal could show you how to feel inside
What you gotta hide
Where to put your pride

What you gotta hide
Find another role
Does she think she’s old and depressed, because this song says all the other songs are completely opposite of how she actually feels and it’s kind of messed up. Then the next song says she tried to explain, but we don’t get it. To be honest it’s kind of dark and I think I should check to see if she’s fine
I love you❤
me with you
The deathgrips shitposting has finally taken its toll
do you like the facebook page death grips trashposting
Yes sadly
fellow intellectual
I can see that you are men of culture
knock knock it's deth vrips
To me this song represents how we wear so many masks and play some many roles we lose sight of ourselves. Especially if we had a co-dependent relationship.
It's all because we ate too much shrimps. smh
It’s also more specifically about pop stars and celebrities having to put on a public persona.
@@sirrivet9557 right, as there was a definite parrallel in KKB "only acting" in their earlier years but becoming more "real" recently.
But I just wrote about some of what the song meant for me. you know, the whole part about it feeling "like it was all for real" even though you were just going through the motions, accidentally falling in love, "find another role" being able to love again, but fighting through that feeling of putting on a show, just faking it... and it becoming your real self... idk its a multilayered song if you look at it line by line.
THAT'S WHAT THE MASK IS
What are you a anti masker?
(Btw I'm joking)
People meeting me for the first time vs when I get comfortable with them.
And then they leave :/
oof oof not all of them
@@Huda____ yeah and they laugh at me :,D

This is the best Weezer song I've heard in years 👍
Bro the White album bro
@@severancedenied and its been 3 years since white. Yeah i know, its weird
Man I’ve said this before, weezer should be a damn genre. Rock n roll would be saved
fuck weezer
jack cusumano lmao 😭
Record Executive: What genre is your new track
Kero: Yes
More like no
People comparing this to Death Grips, but to me it's more Jesus And Mary Chain with heavier noise elements in the post-chorus bits.
They might be talking about after the first chorus
TIME N’ PLACE
new album name ?
new tour announcement soon ?
coming to a city near me ?
PLEASE !
probably the first two things to mentioned
This kind of stuff actually does freak me out quite a lot and it's almost freaking midnight where I am. Don't know if I would be able to play this song again after hearing the full version for the first time... They really did a great job making us feel scared at the end, damn.
thats why i love it lol its so unexpected
When my dad first heard it, he said "I don't think songs should do that... I don't like it" and got really upset lol... He was a teen in the 2000s so it just makes him feel like a cd he spent £10 on just broke lmao
Holy shit they made a rock song (kinda) I'm so happy right now
not to mention a noise track towards the end there, that was intense
noise pop is pretty fitting
We better start shooting on VHS again especially if you still have them!

The guitar solo: TIME TO GET FUNKY :D
ou yeah, the Death Shrimps

Is "Only Acting" them trying to say all we liked them for was all an act?

"What genre of music do you like?"
"Psychological horror."
"Wh-"
how many shrimps do you have to slaughter? before you choke them till theyre purple? make sure that you kill a ton, murder's pretty fun. *flute screetching in the backround*
I fucking lost it
The shrimp behind the slaughter

wow.. i remember, three years ago i was in class, just looking for a song to listen to while i work and i suddenly remembered kkb and searched them to see how they were now. this music video had just come out like a couple hours ago or a day before(?) so i decided to listen to it. so glad i did because from then on kkb has been my fav band ever since. i come back to this song every february and i just realized tomorrow is the anniversary of this mv omg
it’s the anniversary soon again don’t miss it
DUDE I WAS IN LIKETHE EXACT SAME POSITION. Lil dumbass me sitting in class I check my phone and they released a new album and I hadn’t heard this song yet. Now it defines me lmao
Now let's all agree to never be creative again
what u afraid of Scaro Scaro Bonito?
Daniel Go this is so much like don’t hug me I’m scared
no
But being creative is so fun ;(
aK-777 wowee gee i wish daniel go made a joke about that.
this has quietly become my favorite song.
This song does nothing quietly.

GIRL HAVE MERCY ON MY WIG
3:13 me when someone says they also like KKB
LMAO!!!! xdxdxdxd
are y’all serious? this is like 10x more terrifying than death grips imo I’m gonna have nightmares oh my gosh
Okay I’ve reached the end of the video and I regret watching it right before bed in the dark
Isabelle Vaughn-McGee it's not that bad, there's worse. It's just really artistic.
stop, get some help he or she is probably just suprised at how different the song became
We all expected a nice and happy KKB song but...
They were Only Acting
man i remember the day this got uploaded and how it freaked me out
Is... is this the new International Tanoshi Sound?
... I'm into it
I Love this new style of kkb !!
This video and song has such a huge place in my heart. I remember last year I listened to Bonito Generation and at the time I just found it annoying. I liked KKB’s vlogs, they seemed like really fun and nice people, I just didn’t really like their music
So one day I stumbled upon this video and I thought eh sure I’ll give a go. And I thought it was a pretty good pop punky song and I actually quite liked it. I thought that’d be the end of it, but then the ending happened and my mind was absolutely blown. Everything I thought about KKB’s music was completely flipped on its head.
I revisited Bonito Generation and ended up loving it. I later listened to Time n Place and loved that as well. Fast forward to now, October 2023, and all three of KKB’s albums are now some of my absolute favourite albums of all time. They are easily my favourite band of all time and their music has really got me through this otherwise incredibly difficult year.
I know they probably won’t but if anyone from Kero Kero Bonito read this, thank you. I love you guys so much, I can’t thank you guys enough for how much your music has helped me, I’m very grateful. I’m so so glad I found this song, I have no idea where I’d be right now if I never rediscovered KKB
They have got me through the year too tbh
kero kero bonito psychological horror arg
Time to start 2018 off right!
Starting 2018 a month early I see
Izuna it's their first single of 2018, so...
Wow she started off friendly and she slowly turns into my sleep paralysis demon, thank you sarah very cool
I never knew there'd be a time where I could compare KKB to Throbbing Gristle. Those digital screams just 'scream' 20 Jazz Funk Greats.
I would have been so confused if I read this 2 hours ago.
