Seppoku is basically honorary suicide that Samurai practiced in the edo era. The samurai would slice his stomach open with a very small knife then another samurai would cut his head off in order to preserve his honor, or release his spirit, something along those lines.
Seppuku is a ritualistic suicide that samurai used. It’s brutal but facts, they would disembowel themselves. If you look in the video he makes slicing motion across his stomach when he drops that bar.
Just from the word "seppuku", he interweaves lots of his themes. "Self-killing" (taming your ego) by "spilling your guts" (to the therapist). Even the sense of doing it to avoid capture/torture by enemies, fits nicely, if you picture his own over-guarded ego as both a source of pride, but also the enemy that's confining and tormenting him. I think that's what he meant by the "same cause and effect" in the previous song. Like Beowulf going into battle, armored up and proud of it, only realizing near death that pride won't fill his armor, nor lead his men. Also, the other aspect of seppuku- restoring honor to your family- fits, too. Like he's saying selfishly blaming his problems on Camu's death would be "a made up chain reaction", being non-responsive is shaming the memory of Camu. So he's working on letting his guard down, in his own cynical way.
adding to this, lots of folks switch around "seppuku" and "sudoku", there was a meme about "committing sudoku" back in the early internet days... and if you check the video when he drops the seppuku line the video goes to an animation with a sudoku board

Kirby is his "In case of emergency" contact on his medical paperwork in Level 1 of the game. Every little piece of this video is jokes, even though he's dealing with a serious topic. He put out four promo vids for this album with the cartoon bear Dr. Izzo (and Kirby): Sorry I'm Late, Posing & Posturing, Namaste, and Bopping. Not really reaction material, just his hilarious take on a therapy session that compliments the boss fight scene in this video. Well worth watching.
I appreciate the reactions. One of my favorite tracks. The bar that you pointed out “when you start getting all exact and algebraic, I’m reminded it’s a racket not a rehabilitation” is straight 🔥. After Kirby you should check out some more of his new album “spirit world field guide” it’s insane 🤯
:-: WAIT WAIT.... How can you have a part 2 of a 3 part of Aes.... It's more like a part 2 of a 100,000 parts lol... Much Love and Respect. Shrunk Goes HARD.... Also I don't like cats but now we got a cat.
@@Keeferfer :-:Ohhh ok that makes sense.. Those track go in kinda a order of his depression self.. Though alot of Aes music is about his state of mind and his self as an artist.. Those 3 could go together as a 3part. After a while it would make more sense to you on how or why.. With that said though its alot of in-between that at the same time fits into those 3part videos..
First verse is him filling out his application in his head, second is him explaining what hes thinking while in the waiting room to see the shrink, third is his struggle with therapy even though he needs to help. Go back and listen to it now and you'll pick up so much more. Trust that.
also in the video, he's playing an arcade game. You gotta keep putting money in cause you wanna get to the next level, even if you lose your no worse off, but even if you win.. what do you really gain. In his though process, it's nothing more than a racket, you keep taking from me and I'm getting nothing out of it, but I still wanna beat the game. lol
“She called my name out and pushed me into an oven” The therapist is pointing out his imperfections and flaws and it’s making him feel like she’s roasting him
If you get a good therapist [for "you"], no, they're actually really great; Sincerely. Expensive, but super worth it If you get a bad therapist [for "you"], yea pretty much; super awkward at best, pointless at average, damaging at worst. Expensive and super not worth it Either way though, the track def still def captures the feeling I got waiting on a new therapist and interacting with them the first few times. I had a great therapist for a little bit, but even then the "honeymoon period" or whatever was pretty rough. Once we connected it was great, but you can def find yourself feeling all kinds of weird anxiety [/etc] about it at first. And the waiting room def doesn't help xp
Therapy is just an arrogant way to say you know how the brain works, when in reality the brain is the most complex thing to study aside from the Ocean. That is only due to physical limits, studying the brain has limits that we don't even know are limits yet. Think about this, most therapists have their own therapist. Also Narcissists mainly use therapy as a way to better manipulate people. All in all therapy is pretty bullshit and not worth anything unless you are cool with paying somebody to have a conversation with... Therapy only works as long as you are in the session, most people with real psychiatric problems will go straight back into their "mood" as soon as they get home. Therapy doesn't work if you have to constantly go for the rest of your life, this is what you would call a "crutch".
It was great seeing your reaction! You should react to 'Acid King' Off of his album of the same name. It tells a true crime story that actually happened, and the detail he goes into is insane. Cheers
Keep doing Aesop dudes seriously fire a true living legend
This beat is so damned good

Yeah we definitely need more acceptance of therapy

My dude said I needed to hit "get out of the car" "shrunk" and "Kirby" in order. 🤷🏽♂️ Definitely much more Aes coming though.

You have a wholesome laugh friend
Thanks man. Laughter is life. We need more.
Subbed. Aesop is the GOAT!
Appreciate it fam! More Aesop on the way.

sepukku is the japanese suicide ritual with the sword
“She called my name out and pushed me into an oven”

Damn dude paid to get himself cooked 😂
Haha basically
He is antagonizing his therapist, I think it's also a reference to the witch in Hansel and Gretel.
Also isn't in the hotbox or hot seat kind of like in interrogation which through these anxieties it may feel like.
🔥 🔥 🔥
You sum up Ace well, more questions than answers. That's the point and you either get him or don't yo
I appreciate it. I think that's why I'm digging his music. Challenges keep me engaged.

The waiting room aspect would add a lot of anxiety. They should just send a text like "come thru fam".

New sub here. I'd recommend Tuesday it has a video and its probably one his most gross ever including Garbology imo.
Thanks for the sub. I record tomorrow...Tuesday video sounds good for...Tuesday maybe?
@@Keeferfer yw. Release it on 2 2 2022 beginning of next month. Yw again.
Keep up the Aesop content 🤙
