🗿 is the worst emoji. It's horrendous and ugly. I hate it. The point of emojis is to show emotions, but what emotion does this show? Do you just wake up in the morning and think "wow, I really feel like a massive fucking stone today"? It's useless. I hate it. It just provokes a deep rooted anger within me whenever I see it. I want to drive on over to the fucking emoji headquarters and kill it. If this was the emoji movie I'd push it off a fucking cliff. People just comment 🗿 as if it's funny. It's not. 🗿 deserves to die. He deserves to have his smug little stone face smashed in with a hammer. Oh wow, it's a stone head, how fucking hilarious, I'll use it in every comment I post. NO. STOP IT. It deserves to burn in hell. Why is it so goddamn smug. You're a fucking stone, you have no life goals, you will never accomplish anything in life apart from pissing me off. When you die noone will mourn. I hope you die.

The part that gets me is that all of this is their friday therapy sessions. Their vulnerability, kevin opening up about so much, joba's chorus and him falling to the ground, matt reading off a paper of his feelings and then ripping it up, merlyn just sitting emotionless, and Dom punching the camera and letting out his anger. When I realized this, I was just speechless, and it's heartbreaking about how hurt they are feeling. These guys are geniuses, and I'm so proud of them. Dearly Departed is my favorite song from Ginger and I was so happy when I heard that this music video was coming out. Thank you Brockhampton.

[@Maria-tl9lw]

The lyrics in this song are pretty sad, this songs underrated

[@retr0swag810]

I have 2 theories on why Matt was ripping those pieces of paper which I think might be wrong, 1) the piece of papers that matt in the video was shredding is a metaphor for the verses/hooks/bridges that he was going to do on puppy( probably referencing The line in Dom's verse about because of Ameer Puppy and any other projects that they were going to do that year that had him included was scrapped and canceled), but because any future projects with him involved were canceled , you can't hear any of it. 2) it's a metaphor of Matt's heart and memories of him being ripped into pieces and shred to pieces because of Ameer lying an betraying the band. Idk both might be wrong

@@Brigister And even if they're not right, music can be interpreted in different ways, not just how the creator intended for it to be received. Sometimes its fun to read into it. An artist needs an audience and vice versa. And from that art, someone in the audience will become inspired by it and create something

[@conietokieradboy]

I feel like the story of this video is mainly revolved around an intervention which represents their feelings of Ameer. Each one of them is a different person in that type of intervention. Kevin seems to be scared to let out his true feelings as that's what he raps about and only wants to show that he still loves Ameer as he gets close to the camera. Joba's mentally drained after he verbally and physically spills out. Matt is of course the person that's given cue cards and trips over his words and rips them up showing his frustration he feels for ameer. And Dom obviously has no remorse for Ameer and can only physical show his anger. Merlyn's presence in the video is clever to me because he's the archetype that has accepted what has happened and has nothing to truly say or project. You could also say the same for how that truly fits as he just doesn't have a verse.

[@Bu.Soul808]

Edit: These were my vague thoughts and interpretations that i had when i first watched the music video so anything i say may not be 100% at all but its just what i captured in my head. Just a thought/interpretation: This video is an intervention of these members confessing negative/traumatic events in their life and we could be looking at the perspective of a therapist, OR most notably, Ameer. At Kevins part, he is upclose to the camera (Ameer) and try to get into his mind of what he did to even get to the position hes in now, along with the other BH members, after Kevin and Ameer being very close friends these years, hes hurt to see this betrayal. At Jobas part, hes simply giving an outcry for why Ameer has not told them his true backstory, his departure and asking why it had to be this way. At Matts part we see that he prepared a notes speaking about the losses he has had in his lifetime and couldnt put up the fact that he had to get through another loss. He then starts breaking down in anger and tears up the notes. While thats happening, Merlyn is seen next to him doing nothing but giving a horrified and broken look, as if seeing this mess grow, he is left speechless and cant speak his words out due to how shocking the situation is. At last we have Dom, who goes on a rant about how furiously pissed he is at Ameer for doing what he did to his friend (set him up for robbery) and has a mental breakdown, while trying to cope by lighting a cig. Dom then goes on to speak on how Ameer tries to clear up his past by looking toward the good things in life and reaching out to God, but it wont erase the fact that he fucked over his once close friend. Hence why you see Dom getting aggressive toward the camera (Ameer). Sorry if this sounded all over the place.

[@zap11444]

OK Dean / Amiel Blue this is accurate but I’m not sure about doms friend and the robbery, but it sounds like it makes sense. After seeing this video it gives the song way more meaning. Easily the most powerful song on the album and maybe they have ever made

[@devinpeek1609]

I think that you're right about the intervention, but I'm not sure that this song is entirely about the trauma of ameer. Sure it was traumatic for Kevin and dom, but joba has said his verse was inspired by his grand parents death. Same with matt champion and his grandfather's recent passing.

Justin Stahmer i thought it sounded like summer but i was like nah im just hearing things. but whats the significance of it though like why did they do that

[@yahstino]

Sounded like the one from WASTE too. Could've been unintentional, a lot of Ciarans riffs sound similar.

[@Cedrou21]

Damn didn’t even notice but yeah sounds pretty much exactly like it

[@steadyrhythms9571]

I don’t think it is, it’s just bearface’s signature guitar style. He plays with a lot of bends and hammer-ons, clipping off notes a lot, and dabbles around the pentatonic scale, playing a lot of the same patterns of notes. It’s kind of cool how he plays with such a recognizable style.

[@billyallen4228]

Conal O'Hara It wasn’t as a result of that. It was as a result of potato blight- but the British increased the amount of deaths through bad management. And it was around 25% of the population who died or emigrated to the UK. It was a horrendous event, but check your facts l.

i really want to know what “seashells” means. i feel like it’s a word that’s very personal to kevin and ameer.

[@nikki5092]

they went to hawaii after ameer left so its possibly a reference to the variety of seashells on the beaches they probably visited! "seashells" might be a simple way to refer to their much needed healing time after the whole ameer incident. hope this helps!! (a genius song annotation said something like this so i just wrote down the basic idea haha)

[@quarksandsparks]

before that hes talking about how he has to just make rhymes to live now so it could just be nonsensical on purpose to drive that point home

[@notforsale9488]

nikki to add to this aswell Kevin is from a beach town Corpus Christi which is when he met ameer so it can be that too

[@corn8591]

Before he says seashells he also said that he wanted to get out of the mental hell he feels he placed himself into. The whole seashells thing could just be him saying that that’s where he hopes to end up? Because when you think of seashells you think of the beach, and the sun, and the waves and that’s figuratively the type of headspace or mentality that he wants to move onto. A more peaceful one...if that makes sense.

Why? Why? Try [Verse 2: Matt Champion] Big dog, I feel like I don't got anybody on my side no more Highs to lows‚ truth be told It's hard to ignore, hard to endure Where's my stamina in this life? Make sure my family tight More rubies on my neck and they catch me at night Lookin' immaculate, no one in sight Standards are high‚ expectations are low Wake up sweatin' at night, mind in a flight I don't get scared no more when I'm standin' on the mountaintop I'm afraid of people dyin' Rest in peace Wako, Ray, Rita Wish you could've took me to Japan Back ten years, holdin' my hand, felt like a hundred grand Wish them letters didn't fade, love will never do the same Out the window screamin' your name, bless it Mama on track, my dad got my back My sister graduated, now she racin' Love her through the days and whiskey in my hand Bloody colored trinkets wrapped around my wrist Lookin' magnificent, man No stoppin' me, no boggin' me down I know myself, me and the obstacles now I done shit on myself too much to not know how to move properly now On the property now, money gets foul Keep your wits about you They stretch the truth longer than the Nile Eyes full of evil, mouth full of vile They tracin' your smile Stay alert, big dog Only one life is offered to you (Only one life is offered to you) [Verse 3: Dom McLennon] How many sides to a story can there be when you saw it with your own eyes? I got all my thoughts out on records y'all won't ever hear Tried to give it time Find that truth trickles down, hits the fan Freezes over like a dagger to the spine When somebody that you know throws you in the fire How do you survive? I kicked down the door inside a home I didn't own just to save a friend's life Little did I know, the one who pulled the strings was once on my side I had just moved to Texas, tried to make it right I do not feel obliged to dismiss the truth because of how I feel about our time If I knew what you would do to someone you owe money to, you wouldn't get a dime Watch for where you land, sorry 'bout your plans That was all a scam, you won't understand Pass the weight off to your friends and never face the truth Because you never learned how to be a man And it's not my fault, and it's not my problem anymore That's just where you stand That's just who you are That's your cross to bear You could talk to God I don't wanna hear, motherfucker
