    I relistened the song after a while and it suddenly clicked with me - in all its horribly depressing glory.
    The businessman whose business has been ruined by a natural catastrophe, basically deciding to throw himself into death (Staying by Mt.Helen as it erupts as everyone tries to escape). Says how he's not in hell **YET**, riding into the sunset, etc.
    You would think that it's about a random natural catastrophe, but later verses show that it's a metaphor for humanity-driven catastrophes. All the climate change rigamarole ruining lives in grander scales. How the rich are going to hide away in the blimp of modern amenities and distractions, how it's NEVER going down even if the world burns down around it. But, it being a blimp, thus notoriously easy to take down, it's a grim catastrophe waiting to happen too.
    And the final things about how Mt.Helen (Likely a representation of the unfeeling, unreasonable catastrophes) won't listen and won't reason when it decides to erupt.
    A song about the helplessness one feels when confronted with existential dread of humanity bringing about its own undoing.

  • @jackg.2092

    My Dad was camping under Mt Saint Helens the night it erupted, and woke up to the ceiling of his tent right in front of his face sagging with ash. He and his friends canoe had filled up with so much ash that it sunk, and in the surrounding area cars were so crusted with ash that they flat out wouldn't work to the point where people would just burn their cars. After coming back to this song with that story in mind, all I can think about is people riding away from the erupted St Helens on ponies cuz they can't use their cars anymore.

    I have a theory.
    I think the song is being sung by and optimist who is slowly realizing that the world is ending, since he stopped saying its gonna be a fine swell day at the gift shop part. I think that the blimp part is them being in a state of denial that they'll die at the end of the world here. And I think that at the end of the song where mount st. Helens starts singing is him dying in the end of the world, because there's no trace of him when it starts singing and it slowly gets static all over the screen, showing the camera is dying out.
    Thank you for listening to my rant about something that probably didn't have a deeper meaning.

      think the end of the song makes it pretty clear when he sings about mt saint Helen he's singing about himself (feeling crazy and adventurous, that's why its so special and it dreams of puppies and it's filled with music)
      So if my snt Helen is about to blow up and turn everything grey it sounds like he's dealing with depression. He starts talking about how the dow Jones went to 0 and his employees quit. Idk what Wurtz financial situation was 4 years ago but I'm willing to guess he had to make lay offs. Then he sings about riding a pony, and says he's not in hell yet. So he may feel like he's going to hell or that his life is going take a turn for the worse soon, whether or not thats true we've all felt that at some point. Anxiety that the worst thing is right around the corner

    • @aushbegosh3032
      @aushbegosh3032 Před rokem +2

      After that he goes back to singing about mt saint Helen. Which is him.. and his gift shop. Which I assume means his merch store... That's all I can figure from it. He's saying he hasn't made any new merch in a while... Which would make sense if he was having money problems.
      right after that he sings about climate change which lends to the depression motif. He's thinking about how the worlds kinda doomed due to climate change while hes also contemplating mass producing t-shirts to sell so he can feed his family.

    • @aushbegosh3032

    My interpretation when the song first came out: lol what a quirky little story about a business man who stiffs his employees so he can fly away to live his dreams! The mountain is a metaphor!
    My interpretation in 2022: lol What a quirky little song about a wealthy CEO capitalist who abused his employees and caused the world to implode due to big business carbon emissions but he doesn’t care bc he can afford to build a blimp and fly away from the carnage

    I think the meaning of this song is pretending everything is okay and replacing the negative feelings with saying that "It's gonna be a fine swell day" even if things are obviously awful
    0:00 - 0:24 is about looking on the bright side of stuff and trying to learn more as a coping mechanism even of the obvious dangers.
    0:25 - 0:37 symbolize wondering if things are going to change for the better or the worst.

    I think the song is about a businessperson who hasn't been paying his employees a good wage and went home to think if the world would be a better place with anarchy. The businessperson then proceeded to fall asleep in their chair to dream about hopefully running away from it all (on a pony) and/or flying away on a powerful blimp. Afterward, they wake up and describe how the world economy(Mount St. Helens) is falling into itself, and the climate of there planet is changing. In the end, they think now that it would probably be more fun to enjoy themselves in watching it fall.
