    The introvert anthem

    A metal song that made me cry. A grown ass 45 years old shedding a tear over a metal video. What a band.
    I insta-bought the album.

    Tatiana said in an interview that this album is a road map to understanding Tati. Even the band didn't know some things she felt. There's a direct correlation to the pressure she feels for lyric writing for the album. Her bandmates pursue her, pressure her. The bullets at them do nothing, but then she throws "her art" (metaphor for the lyrics they want) at them and they go away. The wolf story (below) is critical to understanding her internal conflicts.
    Thank you, Tati, for giving us a glimpse into your world. From a Tennessee Cherokee...Keep feeding the White Wolf.
    White Wolf, Black Wolf: A Cherokee Story
    Inside you lives a wolf of white-
    of patience, peace and love.
    He is forgiveness, hope and light;
    a blessing from above.
    This wolf of white the world will see
    through all the good he brings to thee.
    _____This wolf of white,
    _____this wolf of white,
    his gifts will set your spirit free.
    A wolf of black, as dark as night
    lives next to him inside.
    He’s hatred, rage, cruelty, fright,
    intolerance and pride.
    This wolf of black the world will see
    through evil actions, evil deeds.
    _____This wolf of black,
    _____this wolf of black,
    his teeth will make your spirit bleed.
    Within your soul, the two wolves fight
    to see which one will give
    directions and will win the right
    to show you how to live.
    Which one will win the fight? We need
    to pay attention; pay close heed!
    _____Which one will win?
    _____Which one will win
    depends upon which one we feed.

  • @timmarkley9309

    This is a very emotional song. When I can see the emotion on the face of a reactor, then I know that they're really listening and into the music and not just faking it to get views. Chels, I loved seeing the emotion from you. I can only hope that you will take the time and share with us what it was in this song that drew out that emotion. You too Mat. I don't want to exclude you. :) I'd love to hear more of your thoughts about this song too. Loved the reaction. Keep up the great work! Peace Love & Harmony.

  • @Dark__Thoughts
    @Dark__Thoughts Před 3 lety +32

    Oh thank you two so fucking much. Finally some reactors who get and feel the song, I knew it would speak to certain people.
    I always get the goosebumps at 3:03, when it gets all dissonant and eerie, with the climax of her really painful scream at the end of that part, which made me tear up too. There's so much emotion in that song, and it's so relatable to me, but I feel the majority of reactors absolutely don't get it at all. I wrote a somewhat long interpretation over at JW Soundworks which I will paste below, if you're interested in reading it (it's okay if you aren't :D). This is already my favorite album for sure, even if they somehow would manage to produce only garbage with the remaining songs. They've grown and matured so much, even since Macro.
    "Alright. Not sure how I structure this, especially at this hour… But here goes my current interpretation, hopefully somewhat readable.
    First of all, I don't think this is really covid related, but, once again, kinda about anxiety and introvert people, but also has elements of burnout or depression. We know that Tatiana has a pretty negative view of the world and some issues from her songs and her interviews.
    I believe the powder stuff she's doing is more of a meditative art form from Asia, but I'm not entirely sure either. It is however what is inside of the red box.
    The black & white / grayscale is definitely used for the scenes playing in the past, which later catches up with her, but I am not sure what the red color might represent, unless it's just an artsy choice (probably not).
    I think this is literally about her band life though, and the recent fame the band is experiencing, adding more pressure and stress, while Tatiana's anxiety makes even social interactions already quite stressful. If you don't know how that feels, think about stressful situations in your life, and then apply that stress to absolutely everything outside of your own 4 walls - even "good" situations, like being with friends, or situations that you wouldn't even think about, like potential social interactions when you cross someone on the sidewalk (or just the thought of it). That's why home is important, your castle, the place where you rest up again and refill those empty batteries that the sick outside world constantly drains. So I think Tatiana is sort of running away from this to be alone and care for herself instead, but the band life is catching up to her (in 2021, after quite a long break).
    The two wolves represent her inner feelings. The black wolf does not smell the blood, it gets active due to Tatiana's anger in that situation. We can also see it going absolutely wild when she guns her band members down, which might symbolizes her lashing out at them when she is stressed out. But they aren't leaving or getting hurt by it, still there for her, after becoming family after all those years, but also pushing her into those stressful situations. She's basically having those two side in herself that are struggling with the positive and negative aspects of her life and what it became over the years.
    I'm still not entirely sure about the art piece. The symbol is Pisces, her zodiac sign. I suspect her working on it strengthens the white wolf, as she does it as a self caring measure. But I am not quite sure if she's destroying it in the end, or if it symbolizes more of a channeling of that gained strength, or how exactly it relates to the band vanishing. She did this after acting aggressively though, so maybe it just means instead of lashing out, that she calmly took her time for herself instead and gained new strength and a certain inner balance again.
    Definitely still some open questions here on my end too, but I think it would fit of what I learned about her as a person (which, granted, is of course not much). As someone with depression and anxiety I feel I can really relate to the song though. There is a lot of emotion, in the lyrics, vocals as well as the instrumentals. The first bit is really calm and quite positive sounding, but then kinda turns really dissonant and eerie, giving me goosebumps every time so far, which is then followed by a really hurting sounding scream."

    Intoverts unite! ..separately! ..in our own homes!
    🔥I already love Wallflower! I love the beautiful way it starts, and I know I'd still love it if was all clean singing, but I'll admit I was hoping for a turn, unsure if it would come, and was not disappointed! Wallflower hits me hard as a depressed introvert (always antisocial, always antifascist!), but more generally, Jinjer helps me vent heavy thoughts and I think more people are being drawn to music like this because we're living in dark times - not just the pandemic, but the looming climate collapse that is underway caused by the narrow minded greed of the ruling class of capitalism which Tatiana has written about in many ways in so many songs. Thank you as always, Mat & Chels, great reaction! ❤🖤🤘

    This song is triggering emotion.
    I think it's about her being introvert at a time this band is rising. Also someone said it sounds like it's about her bandmates at a time when they demand lyrics from her.
    She said she procrastinates. They are houding her and even when she is shooting at them, they are still there.
    When she finally takes the art and throws it at them...they went away.
    It was actually a good take on this visual.
    I saw Chels go quickly. I am realizing everyone is emotional over this one.
    Tati killed this one lyrically.

  • @Trendkiller196
    @Trendkiller196 Před 3 lety

    The band writes the music and then wants Tatiana to give them lyrics. She procrastinates and feels the pressure to finish writing. She has always said this. I think the red box is her ideas that she’s not ready to share. The band shows up and wants to finish the album, so she shoots them. They don’t care. She finally takes her art (the sand from the ground) and throws it at them, so they finally leave her alone. That’s my interpretation.

      I disagree, not Grammy worthy, because the last time I checked, Grammys were awarded to such shockingly poor, vulgar and brain-melting trash like this:
      "I'm a savage (yeah)
      Classy, bougie, ratchet (yeah)
      Sassy, moody, nasty (hey, hey, yeah)
      Acting stupid, what's happening? Bitch (whoa, whoa)
      What's happening? Bitch (whoa, whoa)
      I'm a savage, yeah
      Classy, bougie, ratchet, yeah
      Sassy, moody, nasty, huh
      Acting stupid, what's happening? Bitch
      What's happening? (Ayy, ah)"
      Jinjer art exists in a parallel universe from Grammys. Luckily.

    You did two things a lot of others don't get, they interrupt most songs to talk. It's very hard, especially if it's the first time hearing the song, to pause, change subject, forget where the song was at or what it sounded like, and not even rewind before where the pause was done. "No Pause" is great. Also, not blowing off the ending results of credit was good. It was more work done for the band, so ↑↑↑
