[@Irregulyze]

@@somethinginteresting2956 Bo stopped doing live shows after Make Happy, in 2016. Then in January, 2020, he decided to start performing again. He was unable to do this however, because of the pandemic. The pandemic is the "funny thing" that was not only what stopped Bo from doing live shows, but reverted his mental health back to such a bad state that when it was all done, he, once again, didn't feel ready to perform.

[@Pfhorrest]

I quote this line all the time when talking about something that happened in my own life. After Thanksgiving 2018, something started happening to my body and mind that I still don't know the origin of, I think it was some kind of digestive problem because I was always nauseous and constipated and starving yet couldn't stomach one bite of food, but the worst effect of all was a psychological symptom: constant feelings of abject horror or dread, almost every minute of every day and most of the time at night that I would have rather been sleeping. But my life was better than it had ever been by that point, so I had nothing to pin that fear on, and my mind just went in search of something, fixating on every shadow of suffering in the world, on the concept of death itself, and especially on the doom of the whole universe zillions of years in the future. This lasted throughout 2019, but as time wore on, I started to get brief little respites from it, moments where, although no facts about the world or my life had changed, I still felt mercifully less terrible about them, just because of something happening in my body that effected my emotions. And then the dread and horror would just come right back again. Yet over the course of that year, these brief moments of respite got more frequent, and longer, and stronger, to the point where I wasn't just feeling not so bad ever now and then, but I actually could feel GOOD again sometimes. So by early 2020, I was starting to feel like life was finally going to go back to normal, like I could stop having this constant feeling of inescapable doom like the whole world was ending... and then the funniest thing happened.....

I feel like, taken with the rest of the special, it's an acknowledgement that the forces arrayed against us are so powerful that we as individuals have no power to reverse course anymore.

I just watched this for the first time and I'm in tears. When he yelled "get the fuck up!" I felt something awaken in me - like I've been in a listless dream for years and am only now aware of what surrounds me, of my existence here and now; opening my heart to feel things I've pushed aside for fear of feeling them. This video reminds me of what I once seemed to know, that to feel something is better than feeling nothing. Whether its joy, pain, sadness or despair - its all beautiful because we're not alone in it. Thank you Bo Burnham 🙏

[@fcon2123]

I love the tinge of anger you hear around 4:07, and the way he grabs the camera like "no, I DEMAND you take this journey with me." Considering what he went through mentally the last time he performed, I feel like this is symbolic of taking control of his mental state, and saying he no longer fears the crowd he loves so much. Not often you see someone's journey played out for all to see, and it's honestly quite inspiring. Bo, you done good. Sincerely hope the best for you as an entertainer 2nd and as a human being 1st.

[@ireallylikecheesecake]

TLDR: I’ve heard this song a few times, but today, a full year after Covid slowed down I watched this music video. After Bo picks up the camera and shows that he is performing to an empty room even after improving himself. It really made me look back on those past 3 years and I realized how lonely I actually was. I thought I was fine, I was always an introvert. But looking back and not remembering anything but my sisters closed door, only seeing my mom when she checked in on me during a zoom call. Never saw my dad. How stressed out I was to wake up in the morning. Didn’t even want to eat breakfast but was starving, asking my mom to bring me a sandwich because I couldn’t leave my computer. I can’t believe how I was living. Anyways, I’ll come back to this song later. Good night everybody.

“You’re not gonna slow it, Heaven knows you tried”. I’m sure these lyrics mean something different to each person. For me, it’s about panic attacks and being like hey, you are doing the best you can with the resources you have. I love how this track means so much to people ❤

[@Smile2day_]

This song is a really good representation of how performers felt during quarantine. For me, the stage was my escape my whole life. When 2020 hit, my mental health declined really bad. It feels so bad to finally find a way to get away from it all and then have it taken so fast.

[@thesapphicbouquet8133]

@@deltablaze77 Pretty sure it's a reference to climate change, but with a double meaning of going outside while having agoraphobia. "You say the ocean's rising like I give a shit You say the whole world's ending, honey, it already did." Most climate scientists are aware that it's too late. The damage from pollution and climate change is irreversible, all we can do is stop it from getting worse. It's also a mirror to his own mental health struggles. "It's almost over, it's just begun Don't overthink this, look in my eye Don't be scared, don't be shy Come on in, the water's fine." Definitely a reference to his panic attacks and being on stage/going outside (possibly?). But it's also a reference to accepting the inevitable climate hell we're going into. Only reason I say this is the constant reference to water. The blue lighting sort of embeds the symbolism further.

This piece reminds me of the initial grief I felt when I first found out I was pregnant with my son while I was single, 24, and living in a student ghetto with roommates while I tried managing work and college. I moved back home with my family to have the support needed for my son and I, and of course I love and adore him for he is my entire life, world, and stars, but I'll never forget the feeling of shame and sadness as I realized my life was going to be changed forever, and I would have to face other people's judgement as a single mom who got herself knocked up four months after finally moving out and going back to college. Be grateful for the people you have, and never assume what choices or events led people to where they are today, because you yourself may one day have a funny story to tell.

Just another instance of Bo being so intensely choreographed and brilliant in his execution.

[@DiamondWisps]

I remember when I first listened to this song I was in a depressive and dissociative slump at the time. I was numb and reverted back to listening to depressing songs in an attempt to feel something. Then, the moment Bo broke from the song and into "I'm talking to you get the fuck up!" I was genuinely sent reeling. It triggered this incredibly deep dissociative sensation the likes of which I've only felt about 4-5 times in my life.(And I dissociate A LOT) Much more than just heavy dissociation, but some sensation that takes dissociation and brings a genuine sense of reality breaking a part. I just stared at the screen, even after the video ended. Just staring, feeling like I couldn't move even though I knew if I just tried I could do it easily. Like there was some blockage preventing me to even try and move a muscle. I remember just crying on the floor of my room for at least an hour afterwards, having set the song to loop. I listen now, having just come from a sort of documentary video on youtube (literally watched it yesterday) that basically described Inside as "the punchline to a 15 year long joke". I've already found Bo's work to be incredibly metaphorical with hidden messages hidden within in such an intrinsical fashion. But now coming from that video it's like a new light has been shone on it. The video felt like a big sign reading "Bo, your message has been heard." It's this feeling I really don't know how to describe but it has me wanting to praise Bo, but also realizing that praise probably isn't something Bo wants to recieve. I really just feel like I need to say something but theres just no words to describe it. In case anyone's curious, video's called "Bo Burnham tried to warn us" and it's by a channel named "1rock" or "level1rock" or something like that.
