HIDDEN MEANINGS | KATY PERRY - Chained To The Rhythm (Official Video) + Analysis

[@irisrenelibby]

Katy Perry put a huge message out there that some didn't get. I wish that everyone could see this video and realize the message that Katy put out there.

[@mollyb2721]

oblivia= people being OBLIVIOUS to what's actually going on around them. Anyone else get this connection?

[@sM-qp5lb]

*Exactly*.

[@Shane_O.5158]

the oblivia ( oblivion ) round pink sign with a picture of 3 vaccine shape rockets,

[@WalrusRiderEntertainment]

Chained To The Rhythm is in reference to the 9-5 work life. 5 days on, 2 days off. Week after week like a rhythm.. a hamster wheel that fatigues you until you collapse and get spit out off the wheel

[@sidj7938]

WalrusRider I disagree I think it’s expressing more global reference

[@blaketranburg2000]

Spot on!

[@Kyle-sg4rm]

Yes...an unfolding of events/social changes. With Katy Perry and so many others deliberately leading people into this oblivion in real life - fully aware of what they're doing and the true reasons behind it all. A change from one system to another...destroying the old system and bringing in the new. 1984 & A Brave New World were not predictions. They were dramatised expressions of 'the big agenda'. Orwell and Huxley were both stooges, directly connected to the club - As is Katy Perry and others. Everything is controlled. There are no heroes/gurus out there. Be your own hero/guru. This may sound scary - but it would be wise to start walking away from the system now, (including high-tech, currencies, cities/towns). Be 100% self-sufficient - find clean water and avoid planting GMO seeds. Heirloom seeds' are probably your best bet. Best wishes!

[@iemgote7249]

No.

[@evetsnitram8866]

We actually had to fight for this. It used to seven days on including children. It also may be representing an old idea called the kali yuga were civilization deteriorates spiritually.

[@thefold1016]

That last shot always gives me chills, you can see in her eyes the wokeness and how she wants the people to understand what she is trying to tell.

[@manufacturedreality8706]

“When we look at modern man, we have to face the fact...that modern man suffers from a kind of poverty of the spirit, which stands in glaring contrast to his scientific and technological abundance; We've learned to fly the air like birds, we've learned to swim the seas like fish, and yet we haven't learned to walk the Earth as brothers and sisters...” - Matrin Luther King Jr.

[@thiwankadeseram3576]

Well it has always been that way and it will continue that way

[@jacquelineperez996]

This is just...so true but so deep. He was a good man ;c

[@ravroth8859]

Oblivia = ObliviousEven the name of the amusement park shows that people are so wrapped up in themselves to see the chaos around them

[@geezernelson]

The people falling off the hamster wheel are both from a racial/cultural minority. I'm sure that was intentional.

[@IvanaandAyonna]

great observation! We totally agree, it was intentional. This part of the video was for sure making a statement about privilege in America, how some things like education, higher income jobs, and safety are more accessible to certain groups of people who are valued more than others sometimes depending on Race or even Class.

[@sarah_4545]

Rick Nelson That makes sense. People these days have no respect for other religions, cultures, race, etc.

[@zozo-zl1oe]

Rick Nelson also I think the love rollercoaster and how it has only I man and one woman is an obvious reference to how everyone is expected to be heterosexual

[@zozo-zl1oe]

dani k how the fuck is love disgusting. Fucking homophobe

[@zozo-zl1oe]

jenny tillerson no I wasn't brainwashed. It's fine if you think it's a sin but I don't so 🖕🏼

[@mari___]

damn this was deep

[@lety151546]

Hello Mary gotta say it was. Hit me hard

[@biscuitbiscuitbiscuit]

No, it was dark. I think she (Katy Perry) was referencing the corruption of governments and capitalism.

[@chriscarcamo2040]

One thing That I try decoding and I THINK I JUST did is that when Everyone is sitting down with 3D glasses 👓 everyone expects Skip Marley To be seen as an illusion but when Katy Takes the glasses off she notices that he actually does get out of the screen. My thoughts: When There's an accident or there's a fictional movie, the Government tell everyone It's not possible but they KNOW it is.

[@IvanaandAyonna]

Interesting...I like the way you think :)

[@sura_jongs]

I don't get your point of view. Would you explain precisely!

[@samanthay9815]

We're so comfortable of hiding, being silent, and being followers out of fear instead of stepping out and taking a stand in unity. This world is so divided, filled with fear and hatred. Fear holds you down. Hate destroys. Love is unity.

[@onsbarnat7589]

that"s why katty said in her music video explaination :"we have to listen to each other"

[@50shadesofpsycho74]

My first time watching the music video, I had all these same ideas...Katy Perry's videos and songs are so deep now.

[@Andrewskull]

Why does the background music make this video so creepy? 😂😂

[@starthng]

Andrew Escobedo It makes it sad but true in my opinion

[@blazinvireo]

ikr

[@nickbrooks7171]

Derek i am christian and i heard she was christian but she sold her soul to the evil!

[@leilanim567]

Andrew Escobedo ikr

[@norahalzahrani6936]

Andrew Escobedo i knoe right

[@thatonedan]

I always thought that the change in Katy's hair from pinky rose to blonde symbolised an aspect of "Taking off rose coloured glasses." Basically her hair is of rose colour, representing her obliviousness to what is happening, however throughout the video, she realises the reality. Then it comes to the point where she encounters Skip that her "rose coloured glasses" (or in this case hair,) comes off and is drained of it's colour, therefore it is blonde. This represents her realising the truth. (After reading, it could be thought that after a prolonged experience as Oblivia, her colourful nature is drained to blank blonde but I prefer my other theory) Additionally the eyeshadow can represent her change in opinion. The blue symbolises tranquility and passiveness (let's say) throughout the video. It is until the hamster wheel, her eyeshadow is now red, signifying anger, determination and protest (which is furtherly emphasised through her facial expression)

[@IvanaandAyonna]

Daniel W , great observation! Good to hear a different perspective 😊 thank you for watching 💕

[@benjammin3381]

Daniel W this

[@mackenziep4036]

The movie that Katy sat down to watch was called Nuclear Family. Meaning a family with a father, a mother and a child/children. This is what is considered a 'perfect family'.

[@nikhilkumar6865]

Also notice that the thorn on the rose was barbed wire and wasn't a real rose/thorn idk I think there's some symbolism there

[@IvanaandAyonna]

Nikhil Kumar yes, it's one of the ones we missed 😊💕

[@nikhilkumar6865]

Still an amazing analysis!! I even quoted your video and sent the link to my best friends 😂😂 Are you a literature student? bc this is the same way we study things in lit

[@IvanaandAyonna]

Nikhil Kumar ,thanks for sharing with your friends. Not lit students at the moment but we have studied film and cinematography mise-en-scene (meaning within a scene) was our favorite part 😊

[@aryansharma9855]

First Time Ever great video appreciate ur work plss reply

[@mr.stealyomanzjohnlaurens6205]

Stupid. Why would it be real "I think the rose is fake omg it's a sign". A sign of what. EXACTLY!

[@Jsarson1976]

You described this perfectly but I wished that most people listened to the hidden meaning because I don't known if people are actually getting it about this video and song.

[@IvanaandAyonna]

thank you. Your right, it does seem like very few people are saying anything about the meaning within this song and music video, which is a little sad. We're glad you watched our video and understood. Thank you for watching :)

[@ElaysiaAriel]

jonathan sarson I listen to a lot of hidden meaning, they are plenty of other songs artists has singed that had hidden meanings like this one, no has noticed.

[@marvelxdc4773]

*"Chained to the Rhythm" by Katy Perry is about people who live live far away from difficulty or unhappiness and who aren't willing to come down out of these "bubble[s]" to see real problems that need to be solved in the world* ... *It really dosen't deserve the hate it got💖.....*

[@symphony534]

The Validation Station Stamp is there because in this day and age, everyone is looking for validation with what they are doing on a constant basis.

[@symphony534]

Great video. Thanks for sharing your insight. :D

[@kadyjennings1931]

Kmitsu 23 OMG I never thought about that that's a really good observation

[@andrewcichockijr.2088]

What do you mean it's obvious

[@andrewcichockijr.2088]

Sexism goes both ways any people are just unknowing of the fact

[@iemgote7249]

Kmitsu 23 That makes no sense at all.

[@alexanderreeves-bonoldi2320]

This reminds me of an episode of the black mirror, when everyone Is rating each other. Anyone else agree?

[@IvanaandAyonna]

Alexinoweeno , yes! We were Immediately reminded of that!

[@3ahsawness]

It reminds me more of that episode in season one where there's a place people running on treadmills to make money then joining a talent show.

[@AIistheGoat]

In my opinion, I think the illuminati is controlling them that's why they are stumbling around like a wasted zombie and they are happy because they think they're free. It seems like they are singing about that. Like if you agree :)

[@debbiedowner7238]

that episode was deep !

[@michaelj.1116]

Just had that thought

[@cthulhu5707]

You missed the wait time being 1984. A refference to the famous novel which is about governmental control.

[@lilk5148]

[@baeavann1658]

The letter X what does that mean?!!!

[@gymbrogamer]

Bae avann it's referring to a book called 1984

[@aikoblissponce]

Katy was also born in 1984 lol

[@JAMPD3]

Yeah I think it's referencing the book. In it, it described a futuristic world where the government has complete control of everyone. They watch everything and monitor everything everyone says and does.

[@cynthiajacinthabiswane3237]

This musicvideo has so many meanings and reality. But the people don't think about this. Only about Britney Spears and her shaved head

[@Patrosalie16]

Exactly!!

[@oneshinyglove803]

The media is trying to distract us. That's why it's about Britney Spears past.

[@nicoleonlysometimes824]

Cynthia Jacintha Biswane SHE SHAVED HER HAIR?

[@animetrash8571]

MarMar LikesBunnies who did not know that bruh it depends on ur age that's when she had her meltdown/breakdown

[@8polander8]

Cynthia Jacintha Biswane u saying that is hypocritical. U don't know what britneys was going thru, becos u wil never understand the hardship of being a celebrity under public scrutiny and being followed everywhere by paparazzis. That's cos u live in a bubble. So stop throwing britne under the bus by insulting her, cos u doing that is similar to Katy's message that we only live in what we know

[@sanyuktaagarwal5160]

I kind of felt the same about the meanings hidden inside the song. I was glad I wasn't the only one finding such meanings out.

[@dorkydelian]

Let's be honest nobody sees what anyone else does most people just ignore it and go through there life because they know if the step out of it they will be judge,criticized,put in "bubble" so they chose to stay silent they don't want to it's not that people don't see things it's because they know.....in the world we live in.......we cant trust others we are scared....and I am to I'm one of the few who has been criticized for saying all this how the "all powerful" control what we see,eat,do.....I might be silenced and I do believe so.....most kids my age can't see this there to busy with Drugs,being in the "cool" that's what most teens want....I really appreciate for you to make this video hope people open there eyes

[@paullangland7325]

I wonder with the blonde hair, I wonder if the pink hair represents unrealistic fantasies at the begining. Since isn't a natural hair color but blonde is, I wonder if how things get more real an serious, the hair becomes more realistic. I also think it also being blonde instead of brown, it still shows that Katy Perry is still more of a laid back singer than a protest type.

[@benjaminkoo3716]

the roller coaster flying off the heart shaped rails to land on another heart shaped rail, that scene sort of represents the danger and crazy things people are willing to do to get likes from others?

[@IvanaandAyonna]

[@amara560]

Lorenzo Antonio I think it's immediately clear that the video has a much deeper meaning, but to extract it is a whole other feat :)

[@ElaysiaAriel]

So what your saying is the music industry created these songs to distract us from the reality and problems in the world, such as the problems that occurred in 2016. When Katy says, "Yeah, we think we're free," but when you think about, were all copying each other. Were all wearing the trends. It's like a dystopian movie.

[@kairoserr5134]

i think the blue and pink hearts mean straight and no gay rights and i think that chained to the rythm means we fell like were ok and dont see whats happening in the world and that were in danger and people just dont care and the higher score means sexism and katy is telling us that we need to see whats happening to us and were chained to the rythm

[@IvanaandAyonna]

[@jaem.1565]

There are some political messages in the video that should be addressed considering that Katy Perry is a political activist. First, the video has a pseudo-1950s style with some futuristic elements. This symbolizes "the make america great again' political mantra which is basically about returning to the 1950s when white working class people were able to achieve the American dream and doing well in society, however Black people were being oppressed due to segregation and widespread racial terrorism the KKK and police. Many people who voted for Trump want to go back to that 1950s time in America even though its 2017, which is what the futuristic elements of the video symbolize. They are oblivious to the fact that America was not great for everyone before. The ride where the boy gets more likes than girl at the end, is symbolic of the hillary clinton vs donald trump election win. Also its significant that the person featured on this song and who makes her aware 'woke' in the video is Skip Marley

[@sarikasudhakar1723]

Also a great breakdown of the music video in addition to this video. Makes me understand so much more! Didn't see it like this before so thank you for your input

[@girlyvlogger3927]

This gave me a chill... I love your theories. I think the meaning is actually about us being trapped in the society's controls. But, I'm just a teen, so, I think your theories makes more sense. You're great and good job.

[@stil7388]

I thought the rollercoaster was about dating and how much one would enjoy a ride of a relatioship

[@concettaconrad1575]

stiL yea

[@harleyquinn4017]

Its showing you about trump's discrimination against same sex relationships and the only normal relationship consists with a man and a women.

[@thekatyperrymemechannel2122]

Harley Quinn he isnt discriminating against gays tho he literally said "I will do anything in my power to protect our LGBT citizens".

[@mokana713]

The Katy Perry Meme Channel You can discriminate and be prejudice against groups even if you want to protect them or don't want to see them harmed. Slave owners during the Civil war saw themselves as helping the African American people by giving them shelter, food, and Christianity. During the suffragette era, men thought that they were protecting and helping women by denying them the write to vote or serve in the military because it's too much for them to worry about/think about/too dangerous. Missionaries used to take children away from families in third world countries because they thought they would be better off in a good Christian American or European family. That being said, no one is perfect, but some people could try a lottle bit harder to be a bit more empathetic/sympathetic.

[@thekatyperrymemechannel2122]

mokana713 I'm just tryna understand why people just assume Trump doesn't like gays without showing any evidence of discrimination. Obama and Hillary were both against gay marriage a few years ago too but no one will talk about that

[@mck8214]

You explained and described this very well. People experience these things in life and just try and forget. Use the technology or what not we have these days to get through it. To escape. Also just focusing on blending in with the crowd. No one wants to stick out like a sore thumb. Also being pressured by society...

[@mck8214]

It's a hard life we live.

[@rizzamanalo8772]

For me the most deepest parts of the song is: "So comfortable we're living in a bubble,bubble So comfortable we cannot see the trouble,trouble" and "We think we're free, drink this one's on me, we're all chained to the rhythm,to the rhythm" it's like we're living in our dream lives but not aware of our surroundings,if it's getting worse but when katy/rose got pricked by a rose it's like her bubble popped. She woke up to the realization that its not a dream,more like nightmare. And on the the second one.we keep following the trends, heavily influenced by social media, etc. That were forgetting who we really are.we're like a train,where one goes everybody follows.thats all

@Tom...why dont you read the Bible and research it for yourself if you really want to know THE TRUTH. Cuz they are their. Example what I saw was this video was basically saying was to ignore the teachings of your parents from the 50's. Just how SATAN TURNS THINGS AROUND....when she is the only one who can see in the theater is IN REALITY THE OPPOSITE...THAT IS SATAN TELLING YOU TO STOP SEEING THE TRUTH AND LISTENING TO YOUR PARENTS. YOU THINK SHE IS AWAKE...LOL...ITS THE OPPOSITE ITS SATAN TRYING TO MAKE YOU THINK YOU ARE BEING BRAINWASHED BY THE 50S UPBRINGING....WHEN IN FACT ITS THE OPPOSITE. THE 50S HAD BETTER MORALS AND VALUES THAN TODAY. KIDS ARE ACTUALLY BEING BRAINWASHED AND BLINDED BY SATAN RUN HOLLYWOOD....MSM FAKE NEWS...AND SATAN RUN MUSIC. BUT UNLESS YOU READ THE BIBLE AND GET TO KNOW JESUS LIKE WE DO....YOU WILL ALWAYS BE BLINDED BY SATAN AND THIS WORLD. THERE IS SOOOO MUCH PROOF THAT SHOWS GOD IS REAL. AND WHEN YOU MAKE JESUS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR AN OBEY HIS LAWS YOU WILL SEE JUST HOW AWESOME, POWERFUL AND KIND GOD REALLY IS. THIS IS NOT OUR WORLD. HECK JUST GO LOOK AT ISRAEL BACK WHEN MARK TWAIN VISITED ISRAEL IN HIS BOOK "INNOCENTS ABROAD"....NOW COMPARE ISRAEL FROM 1867 TO NOW. EVER SINCE 1948....LIFE HAS RETURNED TO ISRAEL. LOL....PRAISE GOD. GOD IS 100% REAL. AND SADLY SO IS SATAN AND HELL. YET SO MANY FOOLED BY HIM. GOD BLESS YOU TOM. JESUS LOVES YOU TOO. TAKE CARE.

[@FunConcertMama]

I loved this video, girls! I'd figured just from listening to the song that it was about basically being a "puppet" and not thinking for ourselves. We're "chained to the rhythm" of trying to follow what's popular and happening even if it's not best for us. We're controlled by the media, slaves to technology, but only few of us will see it and actually try to break free or do anything to remedy the problem. Very deep.

[@theenatashasheree]

The hamster wheel is a classic reference for the working class. The people spin as best they can, or work hard, and get nowhere but they keep spinning until they burn out. People are lucky to find a way to work smart and or wake up with all the pressure upon them. We see Rose willfully stop the wheel as she seems to have had an epiphany. Also I believe the houses dropping on the "American Dream Drop" is representation of the housing market crash.

[@agentworkersinc.7934]

Oblivia represents society being oblivious. Everyone is letting their ego take over which is why we’re obsessing over the image of everything and pretending we’re better than everything rather than realizing we are all one. Sometimes things seem sweet and colorful and exciting but in reality they might be hurting more than helping. In a way being pricked by the rose as she smells it makes me feel like she tried to enjoy her experience so deeply that when she looked to close and took it all in she noticed the thorns or the flaws in our reality. The rollercoaster ride for traditional couples shows us how when you let go of control over your life and give your power to your partner your world flips upside down. The house ride shows us how the home life hits it’s highs and lows as well. The fact that the men have a higher score after the rollercoaster made me reflect on how men have a higher population of potential mates to choose from while women have less (if you are considering traditional m/f couples and how there are more women on the planet than men). This gives men the advantage in terms of options. I also really liked her interpretation of this ride as well.

[@chicksue7030]

Amazing observation of the video...It's crazy though bc we can easily see every hidden meaning on our own with open, awake minds and eyes, but to hear it broken down just confirms it all.

@Offensive_Lemon .... watch the video again

[@Beeeeesss]

Notice just at the begging of the video, 0:04, the wait time for the ride which is 1983 hours.

[@Morgan106A]

The moment I saw this video, I fell in love with the song....So relevant to what is happening to us today and so scary!!!

[@IvanaandAyonna]

agreed :)

[@loading...948]

The Government made this album flop because she released to much facts

[@libbylatham8124]

I started to see some of the things you mentioned while watching the video but watching your video really opened my eyes more to how music and art can have a meaning rather than just entertain you and stuff like that

[@brenocasemiro7464]

Katy really got me with that era and album (except for swish swish ) . She was doing what she really enjoys , saying the messages she wanted to say . She was not being chained to the rythm anymore. She was free . Love kp and witness. 👁️

[@NuggetNitti]

Awesome! Totally dig this! What a great message...you got it right on!

[@IvanaandAyonna]

Sat Sangat K Khalsa , thank you 😊

[@abdulkarim5600]

1984 by George Orwell was also referred. And the book is about how in contemporary world people's thoughts are controlled.

[@janayaknowell1014]

Thanks so much for this video. This is a really deep meaning to this song, and I'm shocked that I didn't realize much of this meaning, that's going on in this horrific world. Thanks again!

[@IvanaandAyonna]

Janaya Knowell , thank you for watching 😊

[@teapeafany]

Oblivia is really similar to oblivious (unaware)

[@NoahLoveladyAllen]

Tiffany Lee Well yeah. This whole video isn't just a theory about the music video, it's explaining what it means. That the name Oblivia was intentional doesn't mean it shouldn't have included-on the contrary, it shouldn't have been included if it wasn't intentional, but it was intentional, so it should have been included.

[@jesusgonzalez7059]

This was a great break down of the video. This is why I like Katy Perry, her music and videos have a much deeper level than most people notice. Great job ladies!

[@IvanaandAyonna]

+Jesus Gonzalez Thank you for watching! 😊

[@mariamalawadhi1858]

I love this!! thanks do more of those stuff

[@IvanaandAyonna]

Mariam Al Awadhi , thank you for watching, this is a new series on our channel 😊

[@glowflower1]

Mariam Al Awadhi great job

[@anastasiabrown7256]

OMG. this video made me understand everything.

[@tickedoffsheikh8587]

Very elucidating. Now how many Americans do believe that they are enslaved to a particular order?? Double thumbs up to you Ivana& Ayonna.

[@satarupagingerkolay2071]

Thank you for this explanation. I really needed this.

[@IvanaandAyonna]

thank you for watching, we're glad we could make a video like this and share it with you. We upload new videos every week :)

[@JojoCrazyCat]

Good job, you are paying attention.

[@IvanaandAyonna]

thank you :)

[@spideresque]

In watching the original video, I could see some of the things you have referenced. When I saw your video next, I didn't think it would be worth my time to watch, since the original video had spoken to me. I was wrong. I missed so many things that you pointed out. I was extremely impressed with your analysis. Thank you for making this video.

[@IvanaandAyonna]

Ignacio Ceja , thank you for your kind words! We're happy you enjoyed the video 😊😊 thank you for watching

[@nayaivery5683]

This was so amazing and the world needs to know about this

[@IvanaandAyonna]

naya ivery . Thank you 😊

[@elvii471]

You're completely right.This video opened my eyes. thank you fior that😀

[@IvanaandAyonna]

I am drinking a Starbuck Unicorn Frappuccino while watching this ~

The normalcy bias, or normality bias, is a mental state people enter when facing a disaster. It causes people to underestimate both the possibility of a disaster and its possible effects, because it causes people to have a bias to believe that things will always function the way things normally function. This may result in situations where people fail to adequately prepare and, on a larger scale, the failure of governments to include the populace in its disaster preparations.

[@makirichi]

According to Suetonius, Caesar uttered the famous phrase ālea iacta est ("the die has been cast"). The phrase "crossing the Rubicon" has survived to refer to any individual or group committing itself irrevocably to a risky or revolutionary course of action, similar to the modern phrase "passing the point of no return"

[@makirichi]

I find this video/music pretty interesting in the way the gem has been cut. One side of the cut is sweet, full of Normalcy Bias fans and on the other, Rubicon sour side down to earth reality

[@theoriginaljackal8196]

nick nam Thank you

[@venus2630]

Oblivia = Oblivious Some people are oblivious to problems and this videos perfectly captures that

[@Pablolall]

A other thing is in the music video you can aldo see thst the boy did get 9478 likes but Katy did only get 17 likes but they did the exactly the same thing. I think the meaning with this is that gender equality is still little unfair. For example in many jobs so does the man serve more then the women even if they do exact same thing and that is kind of annyoing and really unfair.

[@IvanaandAyonna]

Caroline Paulis yes, we agree. it's totally unfair, I'm glad Katy could find a clever way to represent that fact.

[@madisonw2963]

I feel that this might not be the intention. If you look at the rides name the "love me" coaster it's quite telling that in the context of old american ideals this is showing the power imbalance in relationships. It also points to the difference in self validation as evidenced by the "validation station". A man can be valid simply by virtue of being in a relationship but the same isn't true for women, in so much as they are not defined by their relationships. I think it's a stretch to say it's about gender inequality as a whole, it's far more nuanced than that. I like your videos btw :)

[@IvanaandAyonna]

thank you for adding to the conversation, we love your opinion on the CTTR video :) there's so much meaning in the "Love-Me " coaster scene. thanks for watching our videos! :)

[@Miriam_J_]

First Time Ever I personally think that its nothing. Why would a ride about love have something about a suposed wage gap on it? It just doesn't make sense to me.

[@IvanaandAyonna]

Mr Independent , thank you for sharing your opinion. Our thought was that it was a subtle reference to gender inequality, the love-me coaster has a lot of symbolism, in fact we counted about 3-4 but ended up cutting them for time. The coaster, in our opinion has meaning that goes way beyond the "Love" aspect. Thank you for watching 😊

[@tarek-tj1gf]

I used to think this was about pop culture and social media but boy was I wrong

[@tarek-tj1gf]

Ok I wasn't THAT off but it's mostly about America and stuff

[@nickrandall3181]

Absolute Disney Maniac It's coz America is in danger.

[@leeuhh3581]

This is amazing, I love this. Thank you for showing your theories. People should understand that this is not just a music video.

[@IvanaandAyonna]

thank you for watching!

[@IvanaandAyonna]

we made one for Kesha's "Praying" music video!

[@leeuhh3581]

First Time Ever Wow thanks for telling me!

[@IvanaandAyonna]

I think this is Leanne , thanks for watching, tweet us your thoughts, I'll be up on Twitter most of the night 😊

[@RidingADream2004]

I have to say that this interpretation video is so professional and dips so inside the video clip. Bravo for your work and please, keep on doing what you doing in the same fashion. Do some lady gaga, too! Subscribed :)

[@IvanaandAyonna]

Nik Kalos , thank you 😊 Gaga is definitely on our list! Thank you for subscribing 😊💕

[@versaucee3461]

Such an amazing analysis. This video will teach a good lesson to many people who come across it.

[@IvanaandAyonna]

Thanks for taking the time to watch this video and add an amazing comment! You're awesome!!

[@versaucee3461]

Ivana & Ayonna. you're welcome

[@iemgote7249]

This is a rather shallow analysis.

[@Star-mw4lt]

Marmar true

[@clyphjean-philippe3086]

I watched this with the intent of not liking it, but was left impressed. I liked your insight alot, Ive seen this music video several times, but the reference you gave to flint, and other current events really made the original sink in really deep. Great job and keep it up!

[@IvanaandAyonna]

Clyph Jean-Philippe , thank you 😊 thanks for watching 😊

[@clyphjean-philippe3086]

You are very welcome and thank you!!

[@wsmith4]

Excellent analysis. Lots of things I didn't pick up on. You made me appreciate this song and video even more. Thanks for posting this!

[@IvanaandAyonna]

thank you for watching, glad you liked it :)

[@foxgamer2891]

did you guys see the TV in there it has something to do with the nuclear thing it said

[@bakerdude06]

Does that explain the nuclear bomb shaped cotton candy, the ideal we carry around?

[@NaokiYuusuke]

I was thinking of revealing the hidden message in this song for my next video, but later I found yours. I think it's already great!! Good job!

[@royj.4629]

Exactly. When I watched the music video I found out that Katty was trying to tell us something. Also Obliva sounds like Oblivian which is a medication I think..... and everyone on their phones/I-pads show social media obsetion. I mean look at it.

[@gposca6337]

That's what I was trying to tell everyone this song has hidden messages about the real world it's almost scary

[@christianhanson700]

Social media is huge too, we all gotta document our lives for literally no reason, it's kinda sad that we all need our phones, and that probably aren't going away any time soon

[@thunderstrike-rw4hn]

thanks for the xplation that's was very intresting ...

[@IvanaandAyonna]

thunderstrike2525 onslaught2015 , thank you for watching. This is a new series on our channel😊

[@thunderstrike-rw4hn]

thanks I wounder what the meaning behide the song pretty matched what I though ,,,great channel

[@MrBabar759]

You gave words to my thought

[@honeysstickyrants3278]

Woah I knew this song was deep but not that deep. And people say Katy's minds empty you who say that are very wrong she has a heart of gold. ❤️She's the reason I'm not afraid to be different and have an opinion she also teaches me if something isn't right to change it so it is and that everything and everyone deserves love. ❤️
