    This is not what I imagined when I heard the song for the first time. EDIT: Obviously it's about gun violence, I just didn't expect so many sheep. Also, Watsky is here! Wohoo! Your an artist in an industry full of poop, my friend.

      It's sad...but guns will never be gone. We need to adapt and change, but not change at the same time. Laws only apply to those who will follow them. Criminals rarely change. If you push laws then you basically disarm or hinder law abiding citizens from defending themselves in a "safe zone" and that is the zone that criminal usually target. We need to arm our whole society from 21 years old and up as long as they obtain training. If every 2 out of 8 to 10 people have a gun on the hip, then a criminal is less likely to target that area. Criminals get off on the idea that it takes a cop an average of 11 to 30 minutes to respond to a situation. We need to police our own blocks and be ready to stop a shooter. In the law, it is not a cops duty to save you. He can run and not get in trouble.
      We must save ourselves.

      this song will always be relivent because the politicians and media need these shoootings to happen so they can get veiwers to there stations, and then the economists can hit those stunned viewers with there products that they are getting us to buy, its all about consumption of goods, when there is a tragedy everyone is watching the same channel which is a payday for pepsi and coke and applebees and geico and anyone who has a company that needs customers

    Is noone adresing the fact that watsky in the video is representing the media and how they cry and weep over the deaths but don't do anything about or to stop it from happeneing, ( eg why watsky isn't getting angry at the sheep and why he's still petting him at the end ) and so that's why the undead sheep kill both of them because both the killer and the media are wrong in this situation

      even more so, the original murderous sheep, only got the idea from the book watsky was reading at the beginning. meaning it wouldn't have even come to this sheeps mind to do these heinous things, until he heard about it through the media.

      did you like...actually listen to the lyrics or are you just here for the Aesthetic bc,,,,,yeah that's literally exactly what this song is about. Perhaps better phrasing would be 'gun laws' or something but...yeah. The song is about guns. It's literally in the title.

    • @ducc3430
      @ducc3430 7 лет назад +10

      Aurum Gloria Pictures it's not about gun safety, there's alot more to it than that if you listen to the lyrics.
      the first part is some kind of shooter (most likely a school shooter) blaming other people for what he's about to do.
      the second part is about media using these tragic events for their own gain and milking them constantly
      the last part is slightly harder for me to work out, but I'm pretty sure it's about politicians using these things for their own gain, but not changing anything and not blaming anyone for what happened, and pretending they care about their people.

    • @jamesofglory
      @jamesofglory 7 лет назад +16

      Yeah. It's about gun laws. Ask Watsky yourself if you want. The entire point of the song is that America deals with these tragedies in a fucked up way, and that the gun safety laws there are shit. At the core, it is about guns. It's a beautiful, meaningful song, but it is also about guns.

    • @ducc3430
      @ducc3430 7 лет назад +7

  • @sammy135_
    @sammy135_ 7 лет назад +296

    My Video analysis(Its probably not worth anything but still) The song collectively tells a story about a school shooting from three perspectives: Shooter, Media, Politicians. But what if this kid in the video is the shooter in the song, and this dream is what drove him to the edge. You may ask, how could this make sense? Well what if the kid is Watsky, the red-eyed sheep are the kids that that called him a freak and a creep and the good sheep are his inner good thoughts. These bullies slowly killed everything good in him, all of the thoughts in himself that he liked were killed, that's why Watsky (the kid) cried after everyone of them died, because it was like another nerve struck by these bullies and cause him to get upset that they were basically killing him from the inside. In the end all of his thoughts come back a savage and violent thoughts (the zombie sheep) and in his head not only do the violent thoughts kill of the kids that bullied him like he wanted, it also killed him, sort of representing how he's officially no longer who he used to be. But hey that's just my take! Anybody have any ideas to contribute?

    • @AEtherArts
      @AEtherArts 6 лет назад +57

      It's a good theory, but I believe the red eyed sheep is the shooter and watsky represents the society that will mourn the killing but won't stop the killer. He is, after all, dressed as a shepherd and is supposed to be protecting the sheep from harm, but isn't taking any measures to stop them from dying. The red eyed sheep got the idea from the book, like how shooters see the news and get the idea to continue the cycle. Then there's the fact that he continues to care for the red eyed sheep like how the news tries to humanize and create pity for the shooter (we see him even pet the sheep when they're at the other's graves)

  • @prodbyLOTI
    @prodbyLOTI 7 лет назад +76

    for people wondering why the video is so goofy in nature in contrast to the song, thats the point. in the song you have this sweet bell driven instrumental that sounds happy and bouncy, and then you have these stark serious lyrics delivered in a cadence that almost makes light of the subject matter, through all three verses. the chorus especially has a feel of heavy contrast. they wanted to take a similar approach with the video, because it only made sense. you have this goofy puppet shawn the sheep/wallace and gromit-esque setting, but the content is comically violent. there is an actual article where watsky himself talks about this.

    I feel like this is anti-media. As school shootings happen, many news outlets find some way to blame gaming, or tv. I think he's poking fun at that, as the sheep turns evil after seeing violence in a seemingly 'childrens' style book. He's making it seem ridiculous that media could have that strong of an effect on kids. At least that's my interpretation. Feel free to critique and everything, but that's what I'm pulling.

    • @thomcooper9514
      @thomcooper9514 4 года назад +27

      The first verse sets the scene, the second covers the media circus, the third is the political reaction. Yet none of it results in what it should; gun control.
      As for the video, I'm not sure if he's trying to say the glorification of violence can cause it, or as you say, poking fun at the notion. But the main theme I see is that as the shephard, he's responsible for protecting his flock, and despite grieving for the dead ones, he's still protecting the thing that's killing them.

    • @CoderShare
      @CoderShare 4 года назад +3

      I think that's only one section of the song. The song is directly critiquing the absurdity of Gun violence in America in general. Why else would there be a section to contact your politicians at the end? The media criticism is just one part, the whole song touches on different aspects of response after these incidents and how we are stuck in this do nothing about it attitude.

    Absolutely one of my favorite songs by Waksky . A topic that not many artist would pick , fantastic job of displaying the POV of the shooter who has been abused by his peers , the social media and how the exploit tragedies only to care about getting view , and the politician views of simply winning over the voters , not really grieving over such terrible events and not trying to do anything to actually prevent the problem from occurring again . So good and catchy , thanks Watsky 😄I definitely plan to talk to my representatives and senators about this topic more !

      holy crap guys there were 7 sheep. there were 6 zombies and 1 zombie Watsky. where's the murder sheep? the child represents that he won't get his comeuppance. because in this society there's so much violence that the kid is a lost sheep he wanders from killing to killing and is the only one to survive. he killed his way through the zombies.....Watsky, if you're listening, now would be a perfect time for exquisite corpse.

    • @Cantalopelordd
      @Cantalopelordd 7 лет назад +57

      Uncle Death well it's about a kid's understanding of all this stuff. when the kid is told that the world is violent and dangerous and they can't trust anyone, it gets internalized. so she dreams these violent and scary images, and is affected negatively in her day to day life (she can't sleep). her mind is inundated with stories of people committing horrific acts, and it ends up being all she can think about, even in her "happy place."
      i'd say this is much more respectful and powerful than making a video that directly correlates with the lyrics.

      Marcus Quintilian, that is true, he does promote gun safety, but it's not what the song is about. Gun safety is a way to help prevent mass shootings. But it's not about gun safety. He can't really link to a "don't be a school shooter page"

    “Of course I share your sentiment as your voice as your member of Senate/But let’s accept that nothing ever could have been done to prevent it.” Watsky, you’re a prize among artists. We never ask what circumstances precedes someone becoming vitriolic and hateful. We just accept that they are and pretend that there’s just evil people (kids in this case, tragically) and that’s all there is to it. We need to invest in and protect our youth.

      my interpretation is that the bad sheep is obviously the shooter and watsky serves as the government, taking notice of what is going on but never actually doing anything to stop it. the zombie sheep later on i think represent the collective people after everyone has suffered from these tragedies whether it be directly or indirectly and finally doing something themselves rather than waiting on a passive government. at least that's my take on the video

    • @susansoup

      I believe it's just a show of what our world is like. It's his statement on how fucked up the world we live in is. As it goes on it goes through the shooter and the news companies and how they just feed on the bad. A lot of rappers will tell a story that mirrors what life is like hoping the people that see this will change or see it as a lesson and basically dont be like the shooter news crew or the bystanders

    The shepherd planted the idea in the sheeps mind, he then denied that there was a problem with his beloved sheep until it destroyed him and the sheep both.
    imagine if the schools said "maybe putting poor angry children in a prison most of every day for most days of the year is a bad idea."
    or the news said "maybe giving this sicko coverage and putting his grand twisted piece of artwork in the faces of the masses is a bad idea"
    or politicians said "maybe using these tragedies to improve my career prospects instead of trying to figure out and fix them is a bad idea."
