DISCLAIMER FOR RECORD LABELS:
The content of this educational video is covered by fair use. My work is transformative and adds interpretation and analysis to the original work much as happens when I teach poetry in a university classroom. When I explain songs, I rarely use more the lyrics or short clips of the original song or music video and do not hurt the songâs salability or provide a market substitute. All copyright claims will be disputed and appealed. Please see me as your ally as I use a literary perspective to enable fans to understand and enjoy your wonderful and interesting piece of music.
I see something NF related.. I smash the screen with my finger.
After Mansion, listen to Intro III. It follows up and it make so much sense.
He already did...

It's a good one too. I actually explained it around here somewhere as well.
"You used to put me in the corner, so you could see the fear in my eyes
Then took me downstairs and beat me till I screamed and I cried
Congratulations, you'll always have a room in my mind" are such incredible lyrics (also, for anyone who's not familiar with Nathan's life story, the lyrics are literal, he's said it in an interview.)
He talks about his anger issues ("I put holes in the walls with both of my fists till they bleed, you might get a glimpse of how I cope with all this anger in me") and how, like many abuse victims, he's been dismissive of how severe and serious his abuse had been and especially how much it affects him after ("Feels like I missed my alarm and slept in".)
Yet in that same song, he talks about it directly and in detail, which takes a lot of bravery (especially since his abuser may still be alive and hear it.)
He truly shows how far he's gone in getting over his past, but also how much it still affects him.
He is one of the most phenomenal lyricists I've ever seen.
Iâm so glad NF is being recognized for the amazing lyricist he is. This is by far his best, most vulnerable, most thought out song of them all.
NF gets his points across and makes points without cussing....... Genius...... So are yo PSP
Aww, thanks. :)
All NF's music makes sense to me.. it's like he's taking my life and my thoughts and the way my brain works and making songs out of it.. it's crazy
NF every Monday?!! Letâs go!!
At least for this series. :)
Songs to explain:
Weathers - Happy Pills
Birdy - Not about angels
Watsky - Cardboard Castles
Ben Howard - Promise
Grace VanderWaal - Stray
Blind Pilot - It was enough

He isn't talking about an actual mansion. It's a metaphor. Mansion is his mind. Walls are his memories and emotions. Mansion is his mind where the emotions and memories are (walls) trapped inside.
Thenk you
I love NF he has been my favorite artist long before Let You Down. I am down for the lesson I hope it exceeds my expectations!
Can you talk about songs from Dear Evan Hanson? You know, the musical. It has some fantastic songs. Maybe talk about Waving through a Window.
Great song! Any chance that you'll be releasing the videos from the course onto CZcams?
No, it'll just be in the course itself though I might give a sample--who knows?
I'm from germany so maybe i did get something wrong...but he is not married since he wrote this Song. The Song came out in 2015 and his wedding was last year (2017)...
1887 SV he means that after writing this song he got married, and how he probably still has some trust issues.
@@evanc9087 okay thank you!
Thanks for the great video again! Loving this series so far! Also glad you explained the "insidious is blind inception" line because it's very complex and one that I've had trouble understanding before. So thank you for going through that!
this is my new favorite series!
You missed a good bit about the song first it's not an actual mansion it's about how he built a mansion in his mind second he said my mind is a house with walls covered in pain but my problem is I don't fix things I just try to repaint cover them up like it never happened so he's trying to hide all of his pain bc he's scared that if he tells anyone about what's happened behind that door then they might look at him differently or leave like he said that if he let anyone in that room they might disappear and not come back so that where the fear comes in and at the end of the song you missed a big part about how he built the house so he could have a place to store all of those thoughts and memories that's why he said I didn't build this house cause I thought it would salve his problems he hid his emotions because he doesn't like abandonment so he built it because it was safer in there then he start talking about fear and how he knows he needs to fix his problems because of the first part insidious is blind inception and he started to wake up and realize that the thing he thought would be safer is actually leading him to a path that is much worse and he knows that he has take the fear out of his house and put it back outside where it came from but in order to do that he'd have to open the doors and let everybody know what's been happening in his life and get help
I kind of relate with this song...Iâve been physically hurt at school too I got bullied...but the song really helped me...đđ I even started cutting for a long time but I realize there are people in this world that love me just the way I am so I stoppedđ€
i love nf!! so happy you talked about it
Glad you're happy!
YO I CALLED IT
Watta boss
Such a great video cliff! Brought lots of insight to the song! I love NF.
Glad you liked it.
One of my favorite NF songs
explain remember this plz
Love your interpretation! I had understood all of this except for "insidious is blind inception." Though I knew basically what those words meant, they confused me when joined together. Fleurie is a lyrical powerhouse. You should check out some of her other songs, like "Still Your Girl" and "Hymn." Great video as always!
They are definitely confusingly weird.
@@ThePopSongProfessor True haha. I love the line, "broken legs but I chase perfection." That's such palatable imagery.
I love this song. I relate to this song so well. It's amazing lyrics. Thank you for explaining the song lyrics. Meagon
we need to know what "banana fall on you" means. Please.
Yea there is an interview where he says that heâs âA rapper, who happens to be a Christianâ. He doesnât like being put in a box of a âChristian rapperâ because it limits his audience and what he can rap about
This is my favorite NF song, It's also the first one I ever heard from him
Would you talk more about relient k
You instead focus on Lorde's song-writing. Her lyrics are actual poetry. (Only few people get that).
IVE WAITED SO LONG
Haha!
can you do a video about avicii
Just hear the lyrics of the song back words -.-
Psp you're a genius!
You keep talking about a room in his house, lol. He's talking about a room in his head. It's a metaphor. A place he put his truama. Meaning he doesn't let anyone in there. He's saying he doesn't let anyone get close to him emotionally.
But I understand what he's saying for two reasons. The first one was someone who went through similar things, so I get it. 2nd because I'm a certified MHP. So, I provide counseling to patients in my profession and hear stories like this daily.
can you explain the lyrics to settle down by Alec Benjamin please? â€
This song is so relatable to međ
may u please do more imagine dragons chur boi
Never clicked to fast in my life
Same lol
First viewer of the video!! Yaay!! LOVE this song
Great song!!!
I've been waiting for this my entire life
Omm
Do AJRs Birthday Party
Hey!
I know your channel is more about song lyrics buuut
can you make a vid about stupid inspirational quotes?
eg- you miss 100% of the shots you don't take
Do what you love, love what you do
Live every day like it's your last
these are as bad as nonsensical lyrics, y'know, but even worse- they're DESIGNED to inspire PEOPLE.
Thanks.
Notification squaaaaaaaad đ„đ„đ„đ„
Love this song btw
Yeah boi
Okay but like the song is so dark but that annoying cheery music was playing and it annoyed me so much
First
no you're not
@@complicatrix7602 shut up let me live my life
@@me-pg5sj i'm not stopping you from living it's just cringey af to make first comments
Yeah and
@@me-pg5sj and you made a cringey first comment when you weren't even first but ok
Could someone please explain to me the apeal of NF, ive never understood him and all the lyrics I've read so far seem arrogant cheezy and bland
@AGTube Abroad therapy session made me laugh as for how could you leave us it felt overdramatic. Is there a specific background reason why people like nf or do they just really like those personalities in lyrics?
mike o I dont know why Therapy Session and How Could You Leave Us made you laugh, but theyâre honest lyrics from him. It might sound dramatic to you, but thatâs reality for him. Itâs the authenticity in his music that makes people love him. Heâs not just talking about partying and do drugs in every song. His rawness and openess is appealing to a lot of people. I think thatâs why a lot of people like him. Also, his songs just sound cool overall
@@big-fish1199 if his life is really like that than id say he portrays it very overdramatically. Also you smwntioned he just doesnt go to parties and does drugs. What does doing drugs and partying have to do with being overdramatic? For a lot of people a consumerist lifestyle is reality.
Also the songs ive heard sound bland sonically
@@alt-post-neo-experimental-3715 Well, honestly, HCYLU isn't over dramatic, I won't dive into the psychological aspects that make the song not overdramatic but it isn't. Overall, most people see the appeal because most of them struggled with the same things he has, and he has a way of making the songs relatable even for someone like me, that has a loving family and never been through what he has.
He has one of the best productions in the game right now and that helps a great deal when it comes to lyrics.
Particularly, the ability he has to connect things that are set years apart from each other (Mansion that connects to HCYLU and Intro III) and many other examples shows that he knows what he's doing.
It's like reading a book.
And honestly, if you think he's arrogant I'm sorry but your perception is a little bit off. Regardless, everyone is arrogant in their own ways, is human nature, you may think that you're not but you are (I'm not talking personally about you, just a general statement).
Psychologically speaking, he talks about depression and other issues in a way it makes it easier for people to project, because its general and personal at the same time, it's like a so called "medium" that says "I see someone with brown eyes with kind soul in your future", it's a blank, general statement, but it's also personal enough for you to connect with and associate with someone in your life.
In that sense, he's playing the perfect game.
Lyrics wise, again, once you realize he's making connections, you find yourself wanting to know more - therefore he makes people curious, makes them want to know more -, he used the song as a marketing strategy, and it's brilliant not only because of that but also because songs like these are the songs that cause the most insight/discussion, it serves as fuel to the very brand.
You're always looking for clues and tips, always paying attention to the details and finding things you haven't before.
