    lyrics:
    (Intro)
    Knock knock, who's there?
    I wanna know
    Tell me a joke
    I've got one for you
    A man walked into a bar
    What's the deal with airline food?
    That reminds me of my ex-wife
    (Verse 1)
    Knock knock, who's there?
    Tell me the truth
    A familiar shadow that everyone knew
    Reached through the walls, you saw right through
    Laughin' at you
    I had so many things left to do
    And it's funny you said it's too soon
    Stuck in the red, came out the blue
    How am I doin' this?
    Bone dry skeleton, humourous (humerus)
    I tried to walk myself out of the ground
    [Chorus]
    All I could hear werе the crickets
    Funny the jokе is on me
    I tried hard not to miss it
    Everything I couldn't be
    Ha-ha, laugh to the grave
    Ha-ha, ha-ha, laugh to the grave
    (Verse 2)
    Knock knock, who's there?
    Tell me a joke
    Something feels off, was it words that I spoke?
    Or was it something else...
    The door must've broke
    How can it be?
    It's a setup, the punchline was me
    Over my head, I couldn't see
    Reached through the walls, felt for a key
    I'm a social experiment
    Aren't you relieved to be hearin' it?
    All of the cameras were pointin' away
    (Chorus)
    All I could hear were the crickets
    Funny the joke is on me
    I tried hard not to miss it
    Everything I couldn't be
    Ha-ha, laugh to the grave
    Ha-ha, ha-ha, laugh to the grave

      I mean it's kinda the whole point of the song. He's telling crappy and somewhat sad knock-knock jokes throughout the song as a way to reflect on his sad and crappy life. He feels as if his life was a joke.

    I am confident in this music vid Theory:
    Could it be that this story is partially about quad, or the protagonist having ended their life to to have the spotlight put on them, so that people would see his art or the metaphor used: laugh at his jokes. But this only caused the spotlight to shine on him with a sad cold light as people only mourned him instead of laughing at his jokes/ seeing his art for what it was. The spotlight remains on him, but for the wrong reason, and now he can't escape it and no one will remember him for what he wanted them to. He begs those by his grave to laugh, still as a metaphor for soaking in his art, but no one does. He becomes desperate and regrets the tactic to end life to gain prestige or become a famous artist. He tries to feel for a key on the other side of life, or even of the coffin that's become his grave, in order to return to the world to correct his image, but to no avail. He turns to hide from the mourning, sad spotlight but he can't. Even being dragged back into the spotlight in the clip in the last part of the music vid.
    I think the message this song is meant to send is to talk about the myth that if an artist dies they'll finally be highly regarded and people will finally try to look deeper into their art for explanations, but in reality the sadness the spotlight brings outshines everything else, and you will more be remembered for your death than your art.
    That's my take anyways. Try watching the music vid again with this in mind.

    I got a theory on this let me know how close i am
    I think the song is about suicide, In the intro he is making jokes without the punch line, later on he says im the punchline, later the song will tell you its about suicide. "All I could hear was the crickets, funny the joke was on me" Pretty much secretly telling us that this particular ghost killed himself and describing all he could hear were the crickets when ending his life "Im a social experiment, arent you reliefed to be hearing it" hes kind of sarcastic passive aggresive the whole song in the sense of like "Look who's got the better laugh now im dead" and then at the end u see this revengefull, but still really regretting look about what he just did. Its a miserable vibe really when u think about it. (if im right)

    I used to do ketamine therapy for severe depression (I had to stop because my health insurance stopped covering it), when I was under the effects of the drug this was one of my favorite songs to listen to. Just hearing the distorted guitar in the beginning takes me back to the feeling I would get listening to this song while tripping on ketamine. I’m taking another antidepressant now that works just as well and tbh it’s probably better for me that I stopped but I can’t say I’ve ever experienced anything quite like listening to this song while high.

    To expose yet another theory for this song.
    This one is about the characters suicide. “Laugh to the grave” is meant to be taken somewhat literally. Seeing as this is earlier in the album’s tracklist, I think he is still in the suit from his funeral. Born yesterday comes later in the tracklist, where we see him in a much different outfit in a more ‘worn down’ state of reality.
    Perhaps the album’s story will indicate a flow of time as he lives in this unearthly realm.

  • @malcolmthecreator9009
    @malcolmthecreator9009 Год назад +2

    I’ve noticed that he never wears the mask outside in this video, only inside, and the spotlight only shines on him inside as well (except for the beginning) also we see quad being seen through a peep hole almost every time he’s outside, and he also knocks on the doors in the born yesterday video. Also in the born yesterday video, he has the mask on constantly, and he also has a lot more layers of clothing on, maybe symbolizing how long he’s been dead and in purgatory(?) so now my question is what happens on this album that keeps him from “going inside”, whatever that symbolizes
    Edit: HES BREAKING INTO THE INSIDE HOW DID I NOT CATCH THAT. He’s only wearing the mask there, only covering his face there, only being shined by the light there because he’s kind of “illegally” there. He might be being shined outside the white mansion because he’s being watched to make sure he doesn’t “break in” again, and the hand grabs him and pulls him away because he’s trying to get in.
    Edit again: I think the beginning is him being alive, trying to joke through the pain, then him running away is him literally running away from the spotlight, AKA his fans, his friends, his family. Him running away is the death, and then it’s him trying to get back “inside” to life. I think the spotlight is basically just him being perceived and the mask, him covering his face, etc. is showing that he’s a ghost and can’t be perceived any more.

    *How am I doing this? Bone dry skeleton, humorous. I tried to walk myself out of the ground.*
    I initially thought this line was just for the humerus pun, but I realised he’s asking “how am i doing this” because he *is* that bone dry skeleton at this point, and he’s still telling jokes. He tries to crawl out of the ground itself, desperate to come back to life, but he can’t.
    *All I could hear were the crickets, funny the joke is on me*
    This line is brilliant because it sounds just like someone failing the punchline at standup. Then I realised that nobody laughed because he wasn’t visible to anyone. He’s telling jokes as a ghost but nobody can hear him. Haunting to think about.
    *Knock Knock who’s there? I wanna know, Tell me a joke*
    Because nobody can hear his jokes, he wants other people to tell them their own, just to feel like he’s still with them. The Knock Knock joke isn’t just a joke. He’s pleading for someone to be with him.

Pretty much the same things I have to say about doozy and convict.
