    Ok, Johnny was the boyfriend of Nate’s mother. Johnny physically abused him, he explains more about it in his song Nate on The Search: “remember back when mom picked us up from grandma’s house, and she hid her boyfriend in the trunk and drove a couple miles down the street, then she pulled over to let him out. Cuz she didn’t want dad to know she had these types of dudes around. Cuz last time he found at he had to take us from her... you look uncomfortable. I’m sorry. Let me change the subject...” in Intro III when he says “I wrote a song for Johnny without you, but he ain’t gon’ like it, let’s see how he takes it. He prolly don’t even remember us, does he? I wish I was burying anger but both of us know imma need him for that song HE STILL LIVES IN THE BASEMENT.” (Almost done with the insight... just hang with me this’ll only take a moment, ok) in Mansion he says “you get the uncut version of life when I go downstairs”, setting up the rest of the verse to explain what’s in the basement of his mansion. Later in that verse, he tours one of the rooms: “physically abused, now that’s a room that I don’t wanna be in. That picture ain’t blurry at all, I just don’t wanna see it. And these walls ain’t blank, I just think I don’t wanna see em. But why not? I’m in here so I might as well read em!” ...he keeps the memory of physical abuse from Johnny in the basement of his Mansion. Hence, the reference, “he (Johnny) prolly don’t even remember us does he? I wish I was burying anger, but both of us know imma need him for that song. He still lives in the BASEMENT” ...sorry for the rant, I hope I made some sense and offered some insight into who Johnny is and how he references him (keep in mind this is my personal opinion. It is not something he explained, that I know of, it just makes a lot of sense to me)

      I really like NF, this isn’t a diss on him. But Em has talked to himself and his emotions in previous albums and about his demons/vices/burdens and his personalities.
      That’s sort of why he said in kamikaze on the ringer “ so I can just be an effing recovery clone of me”
      Talking about NF and saying he did that kind of stuff first.
      Now don’t get me wrong, Nate and Em are in totally different lanes and NF is amazing. Love his work and his message.
      We def both agree that he is a mastermind. Returns is my favorite NF song as well. And how could you leave us is second, they song connects very personally for me and every time I hear it the song takes me to that place that he was at. Only a few very talented song writers and lyricists can do that so completely.

    Ngl you definitely should’ve listened to Mansion first- he makes more than one reference to it in Intro III
    Ex.- Is it me or the Fear talking?
    He asks that same question in Mansion.
    He also says in Mansion that he let Fear in, and now he’s staying in his “house” (read: mind)
    You may not have picked up on this, but he also made a reference to his song Wake Up
    He said something about how he told his fans to *Wake Up* but he hasn’t.
    He’s such a clever lyricist- I love it

      Which he tells that he was physically abused, while not to my knowledge has Nate ever said who exactly he was talking about it safe to assume that it was Nate's Mom's boyfriend Johnny. Every time Nate brought up anger he brings up either Johnny or physical abuse. Also in Nate, he talks about how his biological Dad, did not want to be with his Mom because of the people that was around her, which were not good people so chances of one of them hitting Nate was not unlikely,

    NF: I don't really wanna talk about it
    FEAR: Well, that's too bad now, Nate, shut up! Now where were we? Way back in the day when You and I had it all mapped out in the basement Cryin' in your room like a baby "I wish mom was here." We all do-so we wouldn't have to hear about it Every single record you don't really wanna change me Yeah, I'm the one that made this happen Do you really wanna get rid of your main attraction? Let's pack our bags and go back to Gladwin now Yeah, it's time for the third record And you know I got the content I don't wanna make you nervous But it ain't like it used to be We got a lotta people watching' You told me that you don't want me in your life, that's pretty hard to digest And I told you I'd leave when we die, and we ain't died yet Therapy Session was beautiful, Nate, but I'm wondering' what's coming' next Yeah, get that stupid hat off of your head when I'm talkin' to you, you hear what I said? You don't like the prison I built you? Yeah, you wanna know what the funny thing is? You keep on talkin' to me like a stranger, but we've been together since you were a kid, yeah Took us from a no-name Told you everything was okay Now you tryna cut me out of it like I ain't never been a part of it I am the heart of it, I made this whole thing Yeah, I put us on the dope stage You must have no brain What's the point of having guns if you can't aim? What's the point of having blood with no veins? What's the point of having love with no pain? What I'm sayin' is me without you doesn't make any sense I know I'm intense in controlling, but you need to learn how to cope with it That's just the way that it is If you didn't want me to live in your house, you shouldn't have let me move in It's comfortable here and I like it, I got my own room and everything It don't get better than this! You say you wanna own your life, then wake up and take your own advice You just mad 'cause you know I'm right Yeah, I'm flattered you put me in Mansion, but you should've told 'em right 'Bout your hands on the coldest nights You didn't tell 'em 'bout the times you and I used to hold the mic I mean, what are you, outta your mind?

    He makes alot of references to mansion with the house and fear, and the shovel was a reference from Intro II. If you listen to Outro, you'll find a reference to this song as Outro was released first

  • @ashliemegale6248
    @ashliemegale6248 Před 4 lety +13

    Fear is the first person to rap in this song, when NF sings lines like "I don't really wanna talk about, and, I wish mom was here" that's him responding to his fear.
    He is in fact singing with his Fear and as he said in the song, "I wish I was burying anger but both of us know imma need him for that song, he still lives in the basement" so it's definitely not anger.
    Also, his song "Mansion" tells the story of how he let in fear.

  • @DeJay7
    @DeJay7 Před rokem +8

    Intro III has got to be NF's realest song, which says a lot on its own. It's up there with The Search, those two songs just cannot be compared to anything else. This is a true masterpiece, probably one of the hardest songs to pull off ever, the technique in this is just crazy to think about, he delivered everything he wanted to practically perfect. The lyrics themselves are ingenius and we just must take a moment to appreciate that, nearly every single line has a deep thought behind that makes total sense, it's like Eminem levels of lyricism but on emotions. Absolutely insane. That is why we love NF, for his uniqueness.

    Hey Knox, great reaction as always! What you were talking about regarding the narrator is called "omniscient narrator" and I agree that Nate's dialogueish songs are really interesting to listen to- such a cool concept! I'd recommend that you listen to the song Mansion next, it will explain a lot of the lines in Intro III :)

    I been down with NF since 2013. When I saw the notification that you was doing Intro 3, I was like, "oh no, you haven't done Mansion or the other Intros yet!"
    Intro 3 is more complete when you have heard those songs but nonetheless it's still a Masterpiece and that's how the Perception album starts!

    FEAR: What are you, scared of me? It's embarrassing If it wasn't for me, you would've never wrote Therapy I've been here for you, but how come you're never there for me? It's a little bit twisted, but I miss when you and I had scary dreams
    NF: I don't really wanna talk about it
    FEAR: Well, that's too bad now, Nate, shut up! Now where were we? Way back in the day when You and I had it all mapped out in the basement Cryin' in your room like a baby "I wish mom was here." We all do-so we wouldn't have to hear about it Every single record you don't really wanna change me Yeah, I'm the one that made this happen Do you really wanna get rid of your main attraction? Let's pack our bags and go back to Gladwin now Yeah, it's time for the third record And you know I got the content I don't wanna make you nervous But it ain't like it used to be We got a lotta people watching' You told me that you don't want me in your life, that's pretty hard to digest And I told you I'd leave when we die, and we ain't died yet Therapy Session was beautiful, Nate, but I'm wondering' what's coming' next Yeah, get that stupid hat off of your head when I'm talkin' to you, you hear what I said? You don't like the prison I built you? Yeah, you wanna know what the funny thing is? You keep on talkin' to me like a stranger, but we've been together since you were a kid, yeah Took us from a no-name Told you everything was okay Now you tryna cut me out of it like I ain't never been a part of it I am the heart of it, I made this whole thing Yeah, I put us on the dope stage You must have no brain What's the point of having guns if you can't aim? What's the point of having blood with no veins? What's the point of having love with no pain? What I'm sayin' is me without you doesn't make any sense I know I'm intense in controlling, but you need to learn how to cope with it That's just the way that it is If you didn't want me to live in your house, you shouldn't have let me move in It's comfortable here and I like it, I got my own room and everything It don't get better than this! You say you wanna own your life, then wake up and take your own advice You just mad 'cause you know I'm right Yeah, I'm flattered you put me in Mansion, but you should've told 'em right 'Bout your hands on the coldest nights You didn't tell 'em 'bout the times you and I used to hold the mic I mean, what are you, outta your mind? 'Cause both of us will be, come on, let's go outside! Is this what you wanted? Both of us out in the open? Let's do it then I mean, why are you doing' this? I know that you're mad, but I'm not in the mood for this We got a record to drop So why you actin' like I'm not a part of it?
    NF: And where is my shovel at?
    FEAR: Prolly all back-where it always is You can't get rid of all of me I'm the reason why-
    NF:Nah, shut up, I don't wanna hear another sentence
    FEAR: Hey, I'm NF, "Is it me or the fear talkin'?" Ha! What a dumb question! Yeah, it's real music 'til the day we die, right? Yeah, ain't that the slogan, Nathan?
    NF:Thought I told you to keep your mouth shut
    FEAR:I mean, so what? You know I never listen Let me guess We gon' dig a hole, kill the track, and prolly put a beat in it Rap about it for like three minutes Ayy, that's pretty deep, isn't it? Wait a minute, you don't really think for a second that you're puttin' me in this?
    NF:No, of course not, just a lil' deeper then we'll go inside and we can stop diggin'
    FEAR:Woo! You had me scared for a second, I thought we were diggin' my grave
    NF:We did, what, you don't like being' afraid? It's a dose of your own medicine What, you don't like how it tastes? My therapist told me don't bury my issues, but I'ma be honest, man, I'm feelin' great! I think it's only right we go back to where you were created I wrote a song for Johnny without you, but he ain't gon' like it, let's see how he takes it He probably don't even remember us, does he? I wish I was burying' anger, but both of us know I'ma need him for that song, he still lives in the basement Almost done, shoulda done this a year ago I don't know why I waited You know how I get, I put everything off of my personal life, you hear what I'm sayin'? That was a joke Yeah, it's hilarious, ain't it? You'll spend the rest of your life in my backyard or back of my mind, depends how you see it Put the shovel away, time to go back in the house now, you'll be out in a week Tellin' me you want your room back, that's funny; what, you ain't got nowhere to sleep? I'ma just look out the window and laugh at you, this is crazy to me 'Cause I thought you had me in prison this whole time, but I'm the one holding' the keys

    I seen this quote a couple of days ago and I think it really represents NF and his fan base, it said “when you’re happy you enjoy the music, but when you’re sad you understand the lyrics”. I think that really represents us as a fan base and Nates music

    “Remember This” references personified emotions as well, and would make another great reaction after “Mansion” as well. On another note, you should check out Ivan B, whether you do a reaction to him or not, he’s one of my favorite rappers and is often compared to great emotional like NF and Witt Lowry.

    Love the reaction!! One of my favorite visuals in this song is
    I mean, what are you, outta your mind?
    'Cause both of us will be
    Come on, let's go outside!
    Is this what you wanted?
    Both of us out in the open?
    People who have fears and mental problems tend to hide behind those, in all of NFs videos you see him holding his burdens, his face is painted, he’s in his prison or his mansion. All places for him to hide and here fear puts him where he’s most afraid, in the open where he has nothing to hide behind. It’s fears last attempt to get NF to fall back into place, also its at this point where NF starts talking back to fear. Part of the reason why I think fear is afraid they were digging his grave. He noticed he wasn’t intimidating Nate and Nate was kinda standing up to him. Pretty cool story telling

    "Ill just stand and watch you through the window and laugh at you, this whole time i thought you had me imprisoned but im the one holding the key"
    Tell me after you listened to mansion, you can't help but picture nate inside a mansion all beat up from fear and then there is another nate wearing his dark outfit all blacked out standing outside the mansion in the rain pulling out a set of keys on a necklace and walking away from the mansion. literally foreshadowing how he did everything to keep fear inside and now with this album fear has stepped out and is going to say his piece.
