    This has to be the best visual representation of being in an abusive relationship ever. Feeling totally helpless like you just got your arms cut off, losing passion for the things you used to love, not receiving the support and care you desperately need from the person who's supposed to care about you...... The gerbil in the cage metaphor at the end always really stuck with me. This one hits close to home.

      You can't take yourself too seriously in Jazz. There's no "right way" to play. Mistakes create some of the coolest chord progression transitions. This is Soul or RnB, but the same rules of Jazz apply, which is basically, "if it sounds good, play it".

    This video and the lyrics are the perfect depiction of what it felt like to get Lyme disease and losing my ability to sing professionally. The horrible, physical pain and the emotional pain of losing a God given talent--and having to watch everyone you used to soar and perform with moving on without you. It feels so devastating. But as the follow-up video to this, you have to make peace with your loved ones who seemed insensitive towards you when you were suffering --and find your new identity to find your way back to joy. ❤

      I have Lyme disease too! I know exactly what you're talking about. I was never a singer but I was an athlete. My biggest symptom from Lyme disease is exhaustion and headaches. I just don't feel like myself anymore. And the worst part is everyone's judging you for not having energy or not being able to get much done outside of daily tasks to survive. Because it's an invisible illness. I hope you're one of the people who get better after a few years ❤

    It must've fell when I lost my mind
    Deep in the cut, drowning in a pain
    Somebody help, 'cause I can't find my way
    Nobody move, nobody move
    Somebody tell me how I'm supposed to feel
    When I'm sitting here knowing this ain't real
    Why in the world would I give my heart to you?
    Just to watch you throw it in the trash
    I've been traveling so long, I don't think I can hold on
    Where were you when I needed you the most?
    Now I'm sitting here with a black hole in my chest

    He compared the black experience with gang life and the life you live later after it disables either physically, lawfully, or mentally. Using samurai as a correlation to us just being factions at war. Him being in blue and his opponent in red. Living after you’ve made so many mistakes and watching your dreams be cut short because of those choices is the television scene. And the ending scene of another red and blue warrior cutting down another life and possible dream is just the recurring cycle of violence that we have in our communities. Really genius anime level type shit

War on drugs and these gangwars were and still are manufacturings of the vested elite and genocidal, propped up to sabotage the likes of the original Black Panthers and the Black power movement, as well as any potential resurgences. I hope Thundercat absorbs a bit more elements like The Coup into their work in the future.

    I interpret this as more of a metaphor for how commitment can disable you.
    Sacrifices have to be made for a relationship like a marriage. And that can involve giving up on passions or dreams you once had.
    But once it’s too late and the moment has passed you’re just an sad disabled animal put in a cage.

Past the point of the English language's usage, past the point if anything we knoe here and now, this will still be the best song.

  • @aguy4459
    @aguy4459 Před 3 lety +3266

    Here's my take: This is about a toxic relationship. The red samurai is his wife. You can tell if you look carefully. The opening scene of him dueling his wife and his wife cutting off both of his arms is very symbolic. One of the things he does in his dream when he has arms again is play the piano. I'm interpreting this as him regretting starting a family with his wife who I would infer is probably emotionally and verbally abusive towards him - he may have sacrificed his dreams and ambition to become a family man for the wrong partner. This abusive attitude exhibited by his wife seems to have been inherited by his daughter too, who shuts off the TV when he requests that she change the channel.
    The last, most telling shot (to me) was the shot of the gerbil in its glass cage with its little wheel at the end. That's symbolic too. It's symbolic of the guy - who's expected to keep on living, keep on generating income, and basically get treated by his wife like that little gerbil in the cage. Completely helpless and trapped. Pretty fucking depressing if you ask me, awesome song though.

    It looks like the blue swordsman is Thundercat in the beginning and the red swordsman is his son. Notice in the picture he was only surrounded by his daughter and wife. The son must have been ostracized for some unbeknownst reason.
    The mother and daughter resent the father for his actions and then the old purposeless samurai thinks back to when he fought his own father and how it may have felt. To be young, to be hurt, to be powerful.
    The story really fits a Japanese story arc of melancholy.

    The lyrics tho…. “Why would I give my heart to you?… just to watch you throw it in the trash.”
    “Where were you when I needed you the most”
    I’m sure we all felt that😌
