    Oh, nothing like a good "bad" mood
    Like "FUCK the moment and FUCK you too!"
    Yeah you made plans, all make pretend
    All of your friends have abandoned you
    Always a downer enough with the frowns and talking 'bout death and stuff
    (talking 'bout death and stuff)
    People won't stay then
    You really can't blame them
    when being around you fucking SUCKS!
    This shit's synthetic, fans sympathetic, a rhetoric fetish ;)
    Hands wet red with the blood from the severed heads, bitch
    Who's keeping count when the trends all diminish?
    All about the finish no journey
    "DAMN, who hurt you? No, who hurt me?!"
    Calling out for answers
    Hiding behind laughter
    "Boy, you're gonna crash and burn we're worried!"
    And now you're hyper paranoid
    Hating all the things you used to enjoy
    Think I've grown quite 7ired of the Noise
    Don't ask me how I've been, it's all the same
    Pissing in the wind again
    Find me in the dark, dancing in the rain
    All about theatrics and evil
    Always, listening to music made for sad people
    Yes it's on spotify. No it's not an album. Just a single.

    If you want to know the story, basically the company treats their employee’s horribly, with the animator zalinki forced to work in a dark closet, by the boss (who is also zalinki) because this represents him torturing himself to keep working himself to death for his content. Everyone in the company is so mistreated in the company that eventually, everyone just snaps. All over the last slice of cake. The janitor without a care in a world represents who he aspires to be. Free from any judgement, not caring about other’s expectations and only worried about what makes HIM happiest.

      I feel like janitor represents the part of him who has to clean up his own messes (cause yknow the office is his mental state n all that) and hes so upbeat because everyone is dead except his ego and his true self, he doesnt have anyone to worry about judgement anymore because theres nobody left to judge him but himself, so why not dance instead of cry about it?

    For introverts and those suffering from social anxiety, for those of us struggling with depression and burnout, for anyone hiding in their room away from the outside world for days, weeks, or months on end: seek help, seek happiness, seek friends. It's hard to get help, but it's harder to be alone.

    I don’t think I’ve ever commented on this video, but this was posted after my third suicide attempt when I was 16. This song completely changed my point of view on life. I started working hard to change my situation. I talked to people. I admitted to myself that I was the one I hated, not everyone else. My life has changed so much thanks to a catchy tune and I’m genuinely an optimist who reaches out for help and listens to bleachers instead of teen suicide. I am not doomed to be sad.
    So uh, thanks Zalinki for changing my life or something

    I haven't come back to this channel in a while but something in me remembered hearing when this first came out, I didn't quite relate to it in it's entirety but I sympathized with it's message that it was trying to get out with it's funky little tune; especially, with the growth your channel was going through during the time this came out. After listening to it again now it really is something I relate to, maybe not in the same context of the stress in the sudden rise in popularity, but many things going on in my life right now have really affected my relationships with friends and just my mental health in general where I can't really blame others for not sticking around if it's not their responsibility to try to help me when I don't really explain what's going on with me other than make jokes about it. It's exhausting feeling this way, that no matter how much I try to hide it or laugh things off it doesn't make it go away. The burnout of trying to speed through life to meet expectations set from those around me has made me feel useless, where I once was thriving I've now been struggling and failing repeatedly.
    This comment doesn't really have a happy ending to it that I wish I could tell right now, I want to try to work on reaching out to old friends maybe even make new ones but I guess just even posting this comment and getting these thoughts out there is a good enough first step towards something better. Your song has at least made me feel less alone on this, though we don't share the same experiences it feels similar enough to what you may have been feeling around the time that you made this song, so thank you for being brave enough to share it with us.

    I was 16 when I first heard this song. I couldn't feel anything. Happiness, pain, touch. I had just kind of stopped feeling and started going through motions. This song hurt. Other Zalinki songs hurt a lot more. I realized I had been in a really shitty place for a really long time. Beginning of this year I started getting therapy. Got diagnosed with some stuff and stopped going. I started working really hard to connect with people. I started doing stupid shit too. I started dancing in the rain, taking pictures of grass, kissing boys, howling at the moon. To an outside observer I looked absolutely insane. I didn't care because I was starting to feel again. Yeah, I have bad days where it all comes back but now I have good days where I can dance and sing and laugh and actually talk to people. I think that one day I'll make it out of this. In the mean time you can find me in the rain dancing in dark. Thanks and stuff for this Zalinki. Most days I wake up glad I never killed myself.

Its like 'you don't deserve a lot of things and this is one of them to sit around and shit on yourself' it turns my negetivity outward into a pushing force instead of on myself. The only sin of this song is its only a minute long compared to most but its the most impactful with the 1:30 you give it. I love the music. Its inspiring and uplifts me. Truely a work of art.

      You’re missing the context that the word ‘theorists’ is meant to represent the people in the comments that are making theories as to why this song was created and it’s intentions. This comment in particular refers to the theorists who think that Zalinki made this video as a cry for help or otherwise.

    The meaning of this video is mainly described in previous videos. So in “The Plan” video we know this place is obviously the HQ of Zalinky, and everyone is dying because he’s growing, and according to his plan, the more he grows, the more shit content he produces. And those people, sunglasses, man in closest, and janitor actually are just people that work there. Sunglasses is the face of the building, janitor is the man cleaning up after everyone’s mistakes, and the man in the closest is the true Zalinky, who because of CZcams, is forced to stay behind a screen until he realizes that his HQ is practically dead, which means he can come out, and in means of his channel, means he starts to give up on the job so really, this music video is Zalinky saying good bye, because all of his friends have abandoned him, he feels dead inside, and he doesn’t see the point in CZcams anymore.

They sound like a mix of nonsense and synonyms but they carry so much emotion and meaning, it’s so amazing. One of the only perfect videos I’ve ever seen, Zalinki is a criminally underrated gem.

    To me, it's a music video about cleaning up the aftermath of a literal pity party.
    I suppose the janitor signifies a self awareness of the absurdity and irony of having to be left with picking yourself up after beating yourself up for hours on end.
    This then fits the lyrics and message of how some people tend to unhealthy dwell on their negative emotions through actively searching music that validates their mood.
    They are upset, they simply wish to be heard or seen, or to be given a straight answer from a sea of disorienting insecurity. However instead of addressing the issue that causes them to feel upset in the first place, they settle with the satisfaction of continuously dwelling on the emotion as it validates them, it causes them to feel victimised and owed an explanation and positive karma from the people around them.

    Are you good? Fellow animator here, and I felt this. It got me worried though. If you don't want to talk about it that's totally fine but I support you to keep animating and be happy. Do what you need to.

      Butter-Knife he had a few worrying/troubling twitter posts he took down, so he isn’t exactly doing well, but he’s still trucking through.

    We all wanna be the dancing happy guy that isn't phased by the mess and always manages to clean everything up. But in the end like the more detailed face reflex (reflects) we're hiding in the storage waiting for the tide to pass. He's animating but to the world he's still listening to the lyrics.

    Man I just recently started going on walks to clear my head and for exercise, and I make it a point to listen to this while I'm walking, it helps tremendously.
