    I love how “I should be harder to kill” feels like a more inspirational statement as a song progresses.
    You go from seeking them out and them “killing you” to recognizing they shouldn’t have that power over you.

    • @ZiomekDuszek
      @ZiomekDuszek Před měsícem +8

      Same. For some reason im looking always for deeper meanings in his songs
      His songs are fire and well made, He mus't be inteligent, i cant belive his stupid songs are just stupid songs.

    • @ZiomekDuszek
      @ZiomekDuszek Před měsícem +5

      For example in my place "I should be harder to kill" can mean i should not get "i
      infatuated" so fast and it fits soo good to the rest of the song

    • @jaydapeters207
      @jaydapeters207 Před měsícem +3

      So true 😅, I also interpret the statement "I should be harder to kill" as the memory of the speaker as well as the affection should have been harder for the subject to get rid off, following through with this statement, the speaker could be seen to have been 'living' through the affection and memory of the subject and dependent on them.

      @magnumpicactus Před měsícem +1

      @@ZiomekDuszek there probably is more meaning behind some of his songs but being smart doesn’t mean he can’t make goofy songs. I think some of his are just for fun, like the dirt man song, and I don’t see why that’s a bad thing. It’s okay to be goofy and make meaningful songs

    • @magnumpicactus

    @bekahufen7816 Před měsícem +81

    My life has been changing drastically (maybe not for the better but who knows). A couple of enormous disappointments have left me completely defeated. Like not wanting to crawl out of bed, can't face anyone I love, feel like I'm being abandoned, type of defeat. I thought I was stronger than this. I really thought I was harder to kill. Turns out I'm not an indestructible cockroach, I'm a tiny jelly filled caterpillar easily missed, easily stepped on.
    Man, I thought I was harder to kill.
    I think I'll take up karate.

      Dying is actually really difficult, believe me, I know from experience.
      As long as you have a moment, spend it on what makes you happy. Don't just feel better. Don't just get used to feeling shitty. Try to spend your time as best as you can, and I hope, for everyone, it gets better.
      It's hard for everyone right now. Things are tough all over.

      Learn Karate, buy yourself a Toyota Corolla if you don't already drive one, learn how to hog tie.
      These are skills that will help you immensely when the aliens invade!
      In seriousness, it's hard as hell, but keep going forward. Take this from someone who was emotionally dead for years. It's not easy to see the way forward and get better, but I did it.
      If I could survive and eventually find my happiness, anyone can. It takes time though, so don't rush it.

    I've been listening to this song on repeat for a week now. The "and you can't come" bit always goes so hard

    I have the perfect music video for this trapped in my head down to the frame, but I never got into animation. For now, just know your real art is inspiring more brain art.

    Calling your ex a cop in a pop song is an exquisite power move tbh

    This is such a good song. I love how he's got headphones on, half looking like he's taking the recording process really seriously. Except for the fact that he's standing by a busy road, with all of the traffic going by. 🤣
