    The track is a metaphor for the fragility of one's life and relationships. Throughout the song, they use the image of a sweater unraveling to represent when something in one's life begins to fall apart. The chorus references this idea, where the singer is metaphorically unraveling and is asking someone to hold onto the thread as they walk away. It conveys the idea of separating from someone or something in a peaceful, non-destructive way. They also explore the idea of being alone and lost, using the line "I’ll soon be naked/Lying on the floor, lying on the floor, I’ve come undone", which suggests that being on one's own is an inevitable part of life. Ultimately, the song serves as an ode to the fragility of life and encourages the listener to cherish their relationships while they can, and take time to appreciate the moments they have.

    @charliewhitehair6224 Před 3 lety +4999

    This music video has so many awesome things:
    1. The room is upside down when the camera enters. This isn’t actually a camera trick or editing. The people in the hallway at the start were actually suspended from the ceiling to get this shot.
    2. The video transitions from black and white to colour when the lights come on.
    3. The video is in slow motion meaning Weezer were actually playing the song at around 1.5x speed for the video.
    4. The video is on a set with a blue screen and other cameras that are never used.
    5. Pat Wilson's Drumkit is only fitted with the drums he needs for this song. Bass, Snare, Floor Tom and Cymbals.
    6. Weezer make very little attempt to look like they're playing the song. Note: Rivers just strumming the open strings and Matt sat on the floor.
    7. All of the equipment is either not plugged in or not turned on. Note: Brian's microphone cable just lying on the floor, lying on the flooorrr, it's come undone.
    8. None of them are wearing sweaters.
    9. Dogs.
    10. It's Weezer all over. I fell in love with this band because of this song and video. It's fun and it's cool as heck.

      Yup that's what Spike Jonze did. Apparently out of the 25 treatments they were sent, Spike Jonze was the only one that didn't include an actual sweater. Even when they specified they wanted no sweaters, everyone pitched sweaters to them like "I do what I want, I do what I want!" Also, the video is one continuous shot, they did 25 takes, and this was between takes 15 and 20 somewhere, & they were sick of doing it over and over and starting to get goofy. The drummer especially because he was coming to terms with one of the dogs shitting on his bass drum pedal right before.

    My girlfriend is slowly turning me into a Weezer fan.

    This song so represents my life. In 2010 I lost my home, in 2015 my son (and only child died). Many other things have happened as well. Life at times can be an unraveling sweater that you just can't stop no matter how hard you try. 😢
    My son was a big fan of Weezer as well.

    Weezer is such a nostalgic band for me. Reminds me of 1998 middle school mornings on the grass in front of the school with that one guy who brings an acoustic guitar and strums something up real quick before school starts!

    I just adore how the camera is constantly panning around in this slow motion way, like you're submerged under water, with the lights fading in and out. And how did they get all the band members to do such a great job. It seems instantly choreographed and spontaneous. Really well done. The song is okay too.

      You probably saw the other comment on this video, but if you didn't, it said that the entire video actually *is* played in slow motion. If you put the video speed to 1.5, you can see the actual speed of the video.
