[@daffymouse5309]

My wife passed away 6 years ago after giving birth to our daughter. Every night, I read to her while she stares deeply into my eyes and listens intensely. I know that it probably isn't common to relate this song to a father-daughter relationship, but this song makes me miss my wife so much more. It also makes me love and cherish my daughter so, so much. I know that she won't be like this forever, and daddy won't always be her favorite person, and she will eventually get older -- but right now I'm happy, just spending time, passing it by in her arms.

[@rinlookalike7053]

i see no problem you relate this song to a father-daughter relationship. if it hits you, it hits you and that's the beauty of it. i wish you a joyful lifetime with your daughter. you guys are lucky to have each other ❤

I think your life must go on even after a bad heartbreak. There is no excuse to just don’t care anymore, your life is unique and you shall not just waste it for some love deception. Remember, the only things that matter the most is your life, nothing else, so cherrish it

[@danielvillasboas580]

The video can also be interpreted from the point of view that even a chaotic and destructive guy needs his opposite side to maintain emotional balance, and without that our minds get out of control.

Man this video fucked me up. Currently 79 days sober, but my life was chaotic like this when my drinking got really bad. The song and visuals have me in tears right now. Glad to be sober, but this brought me back to some memories of being in a dark place. Staying in my friends backyard in a shed with beer cans and trash on the floor, doing stupid shit just to feel something, the arguments, fights, the chaos. It was all something I thought I thrived in. Today is completely different. Thank you Joji.

"I think this song is the most heartbreaking when u dont interpret it as someone who hasnt moved on from a past relationship, but instead as "the person im with isnt the person i love anymore cause they have changed, but when i look in their eyes sometimes i still remember the person they used to be, whom i fell in love with. And I hope that one day they can come back to me." " - ZangBang

[@brenwan2190]

when you interpret the song this way, when he sings about wondering what it's like from the other person's perspective with their partner (which would be the singer) that could be read as the singer wondering if he himself changed too and I like that.

On the outside its thugs taking drugs committing crimes for fun but under the skin their nightmares are their reality. Truly beautiful

[@matthewnelson6103]

I can’t even say they’re thugs, sad trash maybe. they remind me of some of the wayward young dudes in my area that hang out together. They don’t have any prospects, seldom employed or in a relationship for long. Broke but somehow there is always an open bottle around. They also somehow have a set of wheels which they use to show up to whatever gathering that’s going on, probably where they stole the booze. Probably burned bridges with their families or are in bad terms so they just hang around with the crew. You can see they’re struggling with demons and they gravitate toward each other to commiserate in their shared shack. together is probably the only way they can survive but also they hold each other down. They can’t afford anything themselves but together can scrounge enough for what they want. They all have problems with the law and at least one is always in jail for something, nothing long term.

My ex-girlfriend introduced me to Joji 10 months ago, I instantly fell in love with his songs. I remember all those beautiful moments we spent together, those nights listening to Joji in the dark, all the times I heard one of his songs and I instantly thought about her. The day after this song was released she told me to hear it, but I was busy at the moment so I couldn't. We broke up. I think we did 3 weeks ago? I'm not really counting how many time has passed. It doesn't really matter now. Yesterday I was in Spotify with a few friends and I thought about her, and remembered when she told me to listen to this song. And I did for the first time. And it crushed my already broken heart. It's hard not to cry while writing this comment. I miss her. I love her so much. I know I must let her go, but for now I'm gonna sit alone in the dark, suffering in silence. Thank you for reading this. Take care of yourself and please, appreciate what you have because you don't know when you'll lose it.

dont get me wrong, this is a beautifully written song. but if you relate to this whole song, please fully move on before you begin your next serious relationship. its not impossible i promise. in order to genuinely make room for new love in your heart you have to make space by getting rid of that person who currently sits there. otherwise you are wasting the others person time and energy:/ its unfair because the other person could be giving all their love yet they are underappreciated for something they cannot control - its normal to miss what you had. but different isnt bad, its just unfamiliar. to really appreciate that different is to accept what the past has gifted you with, and make genuine room to appreciate new happy experiences. trust me, you guys will be okay. just keep pushing through and keep trying

Just hoping and praying to find even a glimpse of the love I felt for you in someone else because I can never have you again so I had to get over you and move on. This song truly touches my soul, and I get it... We all sometimes have to let love go get over someone and look for the next love in our lives. The "glimpse of us" isn't exactly meant to be glimpse of that former person more so glimpse of what you "had" serious relationship wise that is your NEXT serious love. But the retro of this is yeah sometimes even if we're over someone... we do miss them and what we had and that's okay and healthy to remember the good times... and miss them and wish things worked out.

Dude… it’s such a struggle to get over somebody who we hoped would stick around until the end of our lives. I know it feels like the end of the world. Trust me, it’s the same feeling we all experience during a tragic break-up. It seems like an easy way out to give up. But trust me, it gets easier as time goes on. Life always gives us these curveballs, and tests our strength. My father ended his life during a hardship he faced when I was 18, leaving me and my momma alone to deal with these struggles. ( I got into stronger drugs to cope with the emptiness of losing my role model / best friend which I shared everything going on in my life with ..But no matter how much I despise his cowardly choice, it made me a stronger person at the end of the day.

Not really a Joji fan, but I’m surprised almost no one is talking about this music video. It frames the music in this incredibly gritty but authentic feel of someone trying to fill a void that their past lover used to fill; a void that they try to fill by gangbanging and living in a trap house with their equally messed up buds that can’t open up to each other, slowly showing that it obviously isn’t working out by the end. It’s sad and disturbing to watch, but it’s incredibly real.

[@mc_lolFig]

that was me this beginning of the year. I was so close to giving up, actually I did give up. I was so close to ending it all. I took a much need break from life and everything that came with it. I decided not to interact with anything or anyone. And it didn't get better right away. I laid in bed all day sometimes not even watching anything, just laying there. Then maybe after a month or so, I started leaving my room. I attempted to keep up regular hygiene which is something I only know do somewhat routinely. Then it was introspection and finding what you actually want out of this life. What do you actually want to do that is not influenced by expectations or pressures of others on you. And then its mustering up the courage to take that leap. I essentially change my life course in the latter stage of education. My relatives were concerned with it being so late. And I had to reiterate that IT was MY life and THIS DECISION IS A RISK ON MY FUTURE I WAS WILLING TO TAKE because if I don't take this risk THERE IS NO FUTURE FOR ME. It's hard but I stopped listening to people especially when they think they know what's best and give advice like " you need to start getting your shit together" or "just do it" like I don't know that already. And those who can't possibly fathom that thinking about doing something and actually going through with it are two different things. But after the self turmoil and breaking free from the pressures and expectations I can tell you now I am not necessarily happy but rather content with the choices I have made now. I've managed to rebuild apart of me that I thought was lost in time. The happiness and joys that were prominent in my childhood. I know if you're mind is made there is nothing I can say really and truly to inspire you, but take this from a person who was where you are right now in August 2021 up until the essentially April/may of 2022, that recovery is possible and things you reminisce about are still achievable and still brings the same joy that you felt just maybe in other forms. I used to paint and write a lot but I haven't in years because they don't bring joy anymore. Now I play solitaire on the daily multiple times a day in my living area with a deck of cards I had for ages and the joy I get from wining propels me to move on. Good luck on finding yourself and I really hope you make it past this seemingly never-ending or rather permanent part of your life.

This video reminds me a lot of Joji’s past identity on the internet, a lot of alcohol, physical pain, public shenanigans involving strangers, dangerous shenanigans with some involving cars, messy surroundings, filming them and then the masks, the masks stick out because back then, Joji and his group were all playing characters while the real people were hidden away and not seen by people. And also, in the last part, one of the guys acted a bit strange, almost like he was tired of everything, that reminded me of him, because at the end of that era, he said he began to experience problems that led to the decision to end the whole thing and move on to now with him focusing on music. That’s about it, or at least that’s what I was thinking when I was watching the video, but this is just me, I could be completely wrong and whether that has anything to do with the song is something I need to analyze more.

This is gorgeous. The song and video. The video makes the emotional impact actually hit, idk why people think it's out of place. It encapsulates and grounds you to the reality of the emotional/physical spiral. It is chaotic and mildly disgusting on purpose, shows you flashes of heartbreak and vulnerability within it, and it does it wonderfully. The juxtaposition is jarring, but the emotions displayed in both the song and the video are the same. The video occasionally drowns out the music in the same manner we try to cover our feelings with destructive habits. And as always, no amount of chaos can overwhelm sorrow. To love and be loved. The failure of either. This is awesome. You guys are awesome. Edit: Anything can happen. Tell the people in your life you love them while you have the chance.

(My Interpretation) Song: The lyrics is about how he isn't truly in love with the person he is with now even though she seems perfect. He is still so strongly attached to the girl he was with before to where everything about the girl he is with now reminds him of her. He also doesn't want to get over her which leads him to stay with his current relationship because it reminds him of his feelings of before. MV: It correlates with the music video by showing us his actions but expressed through a violent group with emotions. They know their actions are wrong but it's what gets them going without actually getting them anywhere. It seems like their actions should keep them happy and fulfilled in life, but it is only a distraction from their past that they still reminisce over. So, they feel stuck because they think there is nowhere else to go but also no way back. It affects the people around them, their loved ones, and ultimately themselves. The affect of the groups choices reflects to the affect of his choices. He believes that he has to stay with this girl because it's the closest thing to his reason of living which was the girl before. Same as these guys continuing their harmful actions because it's the only fulfillment in life. That's all I got for now, im kinda brain dead now

[@stuck_around]

i dont think theres a girl. id like to think the old flawed love he cant quit is his past stripped-back chaotic self/life and this new conventionally ideal love he cant commit to is his new established leveled-out lifestyle but he just cant quite reprogram himself to be content with or enjoy that kind of subtlety. or it all feels too disingenuous. he craves a part of who he used to be, a reckless mentality portrayed in this videos, regardless of how backwards that may be to his personal or career's wellbeing

[@Yawxzofficial]

Man, this hits different from any other song I listen to. The story is just unique, and the music is just pretty. No one else can do this expect for Joji with this deep of emotion. Live life, have fun.

[@NomaLyPRODUCTIONS]

Yes it will, because joji is alive

[@philatio1744]

Saying something emotional won’t come in years is a stretch imo

[@elyshiblank]

To be honest this song is remarkable because it shows how vulnerable everyone can be especially when it comes to escaping the thoughts about the past.

[@a_little_flame589]

the fact that this guys used to make funny skit videos is kind of insane respect for one of the goats of an era and respect for the goat of skits you managed to make the best transformation out the big 10

[@jotarokujo6873]

The song and the mv really points out how people in their saddest situations ends up turning to drugs and violence and nicotine to try and "live" away that pain, only causing a cycle that never ends.

[@thariqahamad171]

dude, its a song about love, not drugs

[@rickmoore1235]

It’s amazing how this music video is an illustration of rage, but it’s juxtaposed so well with such a somber song; love, rage, hate, sadness, and depression all come from the same place, they’re different petals of the same flower. This music video illustrates that so well

[@chrisdee7931]

OMG exactly. very wise. Also people, make good choices every day

[@embrace7052]

Never thought it like that interesting. I personally believe rage comes from ego while sadness comes from hopelessness but it's like a venn diagram one can overlap the other at times.

The visuals are so powerful and somehow blend so perfectly with the music. You've done it again, Joji. I'm nothing less than speechless when it comes to this new song. I was understanding of you possibly wanting to take a step back from your career entirely to do what's best for you - because you deserve that and so much more - but I'm really happy to still experience the intense passion and creativity in your art.

[@nononoohfuck]

Did something happen to him?

[@sskkeegg]

@@nononoohfuck there's been instances in the past where George has stepped back due to health related stuff. I don't remember the details, but maybe that's what they were referring to?

[@Ar1120]

@@nononoohfuck Nothing in particular happened to Joji, but many fans suspect that his label might be taking advantage of him by forcing him to preform, taking over his social medias, etc. This is just an assumption though: I don't know if those claims are true. There's no facts or evidence to back it up, but I assumed Joji wanted to leave his career behind and focus on just producing because he's mentioned how much he enjoys the process of producing several times in interviews. On top of that, I think he's never really known a life without fame, so I thought that a desire for normalcy was the motivation behind disappearing for 2 years - if that disappearance wasn't a result of his label taking control.

[@princecheach2477]

I have no intricate or complicated words for this, just saying that this video is perfect the way it is. It gives a little bit of some Pink Guy energy 😌 “He still got the Pink eye!”

[@sum1221]

This song and video hit at home right now. Everything is gone, everything is wrong. But when you see that special person again, you look at what was or could have been. Without regard for how it is now

[@xistam]

This song/video felt so real in a way I can't even explain. Like someone else said in comments, nostalgic almost... Joji really is a genius, been following him for so long and so glad he took up music. I love his music.

[@sebittyseb4481]

I hope he doesn't stop,this legend needs to keep releasing and growing his career in music 👌

[@ChristopherJohn4389]

Its kinda funny how art will never die. For generations, you hear about how things aren't as good as they use to be, artistically. But in every era, you can find a perfect use of the times for expression and triggering real emotions. You just have to be open to receive it. That's what I find.

[@Chronomatrix]

This is by far the best music video I've watched this year so far. The juxtaposition between the violence of heart-broken men and Joji's beautiful voice makes you feel a wide range of emotion. It's quite amazing how he manages to make you feel the rage and desperation, but at the same time there's this double meaning of friends being there through life at your best and worst moments. Absolutely beautiful, if the next album is this powerful we're all in for a ride.
