      It’s about an abusive therapist I think.
      Edit: Waitwait, Ok so OKULTRA? Yeah, it’s a play on words for the government controlled secret psychedelic drug experimentation on humans in the 1950’s-80’s (correct me if I’m wrong) called MKULTRA before it was put to a stop. Obviously I don’t know exactly what they did but an obvious way to give the drugs to people would be to prescript them secretly in medical treatments, anti-depressant, (etc.) OKULTRA is mentioned a couple other times casually throughout the album including in the FIRST SONG where in the second half Will straight up throws in a very cheerful, “OKULTRA!” And judging from Will’s history with drugs, theming an entire song on how therapy sucks makes sense.

    Everyone’s talking about the tempo of the song or the complexity of the lyrics, but it no one going to talk about how good the piano part at the beginning is? Like if the whole song was some kind of boss monologue then the beginning would sound like the thing that plays when you step into the boss arena for the first time. I don’t know how to describe it, but it would be awesome if there was a whole song with the same vibe the piano part gives, or at least an extended version of the piano.

    This goddamn masterpiece of a song was stuck in my head for nearly TWO fucking years, but for the love of Christ I couldn’t remember the name, till RUclips pulled this out and slapped me in the face with it. And holy fuck I’m I happy that I loved this song so much for it to be an ear worm for so long. Wow I went on a rant, sorry about the curses!

    Day 1 of trying to sing blackboxwarrior flawlessly: i perfectly did the first verse but the other verses made its sound like i was talking gibberish, i’ll be practicing more of this, if i made more progress in one day i will leave a update
    Day 2: i did the 2nd verse, small mistakes but its just the beginning, i practiced the therapy monologue a bit, very hard i’d say but im looking foward to the next day i’d say
    Day 3: sorry for the inconvenience, i had been very busy for 2 weeks because of exams
    I’m perfecting my attempt on the 2nd verse and its a bir hard but i’m getting a hand of it
    Day 4: sorry for the extremely long inconvenience but i have returned, i’m going to camp next month to go to norway and i may not be active for 4 weeks, but when i return i will update you guys, i got the monologue a bit right but still a bit of some stuttering, hopefully it will be gone
    Day 5: got the therapy monologue down, if i get to a talent show, i WILL sing this song

    Well he collapsed with Stevens-Johnson Syndrome on the E.R. floor
    Panic attacked, anaphylactic and ataxic
    The way he spun his butterfly risked all six his phalanges
    Roman candles at both ends in his synapses
    And the method with which he recycled his humors
    Trojan Horse'd his Blood-Brain Barrier and raised the LD-50, yes, yes
    And through flight-or-fight revelation shame the Black Box Warrior
    He skipped this town and headed straight down history
    Shields himself from reason in a Kevlar baby-blue Tuxedo
    Quilted from the finest fibers, flesh, and fiberglass, and flowers
    His ego a mosquito, evil incarnate good incognito
    Pops placebos for libido, screaming, "Bless the torpedoes"
    For what? For what? For what it's worth
    If it was going to kill you boy, it would have by now
    For what? For what? For what it's worth
    There's no more looking back, it's looking up or looking down
    Well, he was wearing stolen rubber shoes and wrapped a poison ivy noose
    Around his Lotus jugular when they came
    Well, they found him with a map to every victim of his love
    And a tattoo of a blue jay on his face
    And they waited for his vital signs to lie and let a flatline cry
    A hymn out in Hungarian Harmonic
    But he cocked his noggin, through his stoma sang, "For auld lang syne"
    "Happy birthday to the succulents, I'll die your hydroponics"
    His rib cage was a hornet's nest, palpitations set the beat
    His vagus nerve a turk's head knot, an axel hitch, a carrick bend
    He wondered if Christ Consciousness would charge a cancellation fee
    Auf wiedersehn, au revoir, he gripped his wits right by their ends

    Hello, welcome, why don't you take a seat?
    Get comfortable, relax, take a second if you need to
    Now what's bothering you? Well, why don't we start at the beginning
    Growing up, how was your relationship with the fundamentals of conscious existence?
    Did you have xenon orchid sinews spilling down the outer center of your
    Blooming Escher/Mandelbrot head?
    And how about claustrophilic tendrils clapping caskets closed on seven-knuckle thumbs
    Did you get along well with the Gideon Bugler pineal glands?
    Your projector eyes casting sci-fi's on your STR'd strands?
    Tell me about your nerve to steal nerves of steel from under Bacchus' bloody nose
    Did Namibian Himbas tie-dye you, your ears pierced with a Phineas Gage flagpole
    Did you die before your day?
    Thursday traction, Tuesday titration
    My hope is to assess through my objective report of
    Your subjective conjecture
    Whether this proprietary bled of expertise and seasoning works as well as this
    Transorbital ice pick
    Holistic ballistics, you got a better idea?
    It's about the best we could come up with, what, you think ideas spread because they're good?
    No, they spread because people like them
    So now here we are once again, holding
    As it were, a mirror up to your mirror
    I guess it's just something people do
    A bloody knife to split your infrastructure, wine to rev your motor function
    Coital machinations of the dead
    Well, you mainline your animus, karate chop your abacus
    And learn to be an animal instead
    But I never did think you better than this, your modus operandi causes
    Nazi/Skoptzyism and suicide
    Why to thine own self be true when it is you who are the problem
    Not the things you do but something sick inside
    Lithium and Dialectics, boy you really is defective
    CBT don't seem effective for that Cluster B, accept it
    Offer up your innocence, please ignore the side effects
    You've lost your mind and almost lost your life before

    If it was going to kill you boy, it would have by now
    For what? For what? For what it's worth
    There's no more looking back, and why would you want to look back?
    I mean, it's no good looking back, so try to look forward now
    For what? For what? For what it's worth

    • @FinnIsInn
      @FinnIsInn 10 дней назад

      I think "did you die before your day" ties into the previous line about Phineas Gage. He got a superheated railroad spike blasted through his frontal lobe and he survived as the rod immediately cauterized the hole it made through his head and went clean out the other side. His personality was completely destroyed, and he became a man completely devoid of the self he once held. A death/change of personality could be called dying before your day.

    I can honestly imagine the ER room and Will Wood being the "doctor" while talking to a young boy whose relationship with the criminal mafia guy on the examination is undetermined. Meanwhile, Will Wood is slowly starting to turn the ER room into an acid trip where he's slowly starting to magic trick off of the body, even having doubles playing the dead body like a piano and blowing off the tip of the head's own saxophone mouthpiece and warp the room to match what he is saying, from what he's observing, what he's been told, to what he is reading off of the doctor's notes.
    During the monologue, he is personally addressing the kid through a chair while literally, PsychoAnalyzing interrogating the kid while chucking at him a ton of questions, pulling out a bunch of items, and writing down things incredibly quickly before ending up pulling out a mirror to his face which is now a mirror, before cheekily shrugging it off. Then comes the rest of the lyrics and the kid is now being treated like the previously mentioned dead body before the entire song ends with two Will Woods Neo Cortex falling (before, he just pointed up and down like Scout's default Baseball Taunt) and being pulled up by a rope like a creepy smiling doll being noosed across his neck before crashing into one Will Wood who poses for the camera with his arms outstretched, and a hop to be put on one foot with a smile across his face and the entire sequence animation ends.
    Basically, very Looney Tunes tone with what is clearly a horrifying situation for anyone to watch or be subjected to. I would honestly imagine a lot of musicians like Will Wood to have a very Rod Serling role to their art, heck, I would love to be looked at as a Rod Serling figure in the rest of my work. Tally Hall and Bo Burnham come to mind as other Rod Serling figures to their music.

      Just giving you a heads up that even people who's native language is English have trouble grasping what is trying to be said in the song since a lot of it almost seems like random words strung together at certain points.

    To the people who are trying to learn the monologue for whatever reason, check out the live in studio version of this song. The monologue is was clearer and it's spoken slower. I think it could help.

    Possible tip for keeping up with this:
    |Could be circumstantial, as I have no way to test this|
    Learn & keep up with 6up 5oh first, as both are fast paced with a lot going on but 6up 5oh isn't as lengthy.
    Let me know if this helps 👍
    [ I'm still tripping up on a phrase, as well as the monologue. This possibly circumstantial tip just helped me with keeping up with the rest. ]
