Lyrics:
Somewhere in Germany but I can’t place it
Man I hate this part of Texas
Close my eyes, fantasize
Three clicks and I’m home
When I get back I’ll lay around
Then I’ll get up and lay back down
Romanticize a quiet life
There’s no place like my room
But you had to go
I know, I know, I know
Like a wave that crashed and melted on the shore
Not even the burnouts are out here anymore
And you had to go
I know, I know, I know
Out in the park we watch the sunset
Talking on a rusty swing set
After a while you went quiet
And I got mean
I’m always pushing you away from me
But you come back with gravity
And when I call you come home
A bird in your teeth
So I gotta go
I know, I know, I know
When the sirens sound you’ll hide under the floor
But I’m not gonna go down in my hometown in a tornado
I’m gonna chase it
I know, I know, I know
I gotta go now
I know, I know, I know
Driving out into the sun
Let the ultraviolet cover me up
Went looking for a creation myth
Ended up with a pair of cracked lips
Windows down scream along
To some America First rap country song
A slaughterhouse, an outlet mall
Slot machines, fear of God
Windows down, heater on
Big bolt of lighting hanging low
Over the coast everyone’s convinced
It’s a government drone or an alien spaceship
Either way we’re not alone
I’ll find a new place to be from
A haunted house with a picket fence
To float around and ghost my friends
I’m not afraid to disappear
The billboard said The End Is Near
I turned around there was nothing there
Yeah, I guess the end is here
The end is here

Remember to take care of yourself.

[@catstir2778]

I found this song about a month after THAT event happened and it helped me cope so much over these past few months and it describes how I felt to a scarily accurate point (rough divorce between parents forced me to go to Texas with cousins for a few days) and obviously more than that but ye you're spot on with this description

Moving experience, and I understand the world through my daughter's eyes a lot better now. Phoebe Bridgers is the real deal!

[@eleanor6271]

I think taking and eating the apple from her younger self signifies Phoebe accepting her birth, her existence, and making out with her older self signifies the acceptance of her death, the ceasing of her existence. It's so clever - to begin with she finds it hard to come to terms with life and the monotony of it (signified by the many sets of the same dripping clothes, implying she does the same ritualistic washing behaviour every day) and by the end she doesn't want to let go of life, to such an extent that she is literally running from death. She has to come to terms with the end of this life that she once found so hard to accept that she has. Life is weird. You don't ask to be born and you don't ask to die, but you can't do anything to prevent it. To me, this video is about just that.

[@velocitygirl8551]

Just ... her making with her older self , and younger it’s her accepting and loving who she was and who she trusts she will be 🥰

[@cassadagaa]

This is something slightly related to your observation but I think its interesting nonetheless--the person who is driving Phoebe towards the end of the video appears to be a younger version of herself, when she had shorter, blonde hair. Might be a total coincidence but I like to think it was on purpose :)

George Linford I think limiting existential depression and dread to gen z is sort of reductive. it's something that has affected humans for as long as humans have been around.

[@georgelinford5576]

@@Jayne585 I'm not limiting it to Gen Z, it's just that it's clearer now more than ever that the planet is going downhill fast in quite a few ways, and Gen Z seem to be the ones most concerned and worried cuz it's their world that they'll have to grow up in. I think the levels of existential dread have increased with each generation, and we're at a peak right now with Gen Z. I'm not saying that everyone else hasn't experienced existential depression.

[@Jayne585]

George Linford very true. i assumed wrong from your comment, sorry. I see too many people harping on gen z in particular for having these kinds of existential questions, as if these existential questions aren't present in other demographics. But yes, it is true with the younger generation, the reasons for their existential dread should be a little easier to understand with the state of the planet. I think in the last 50 years, it absolutely is more concentrated in the younger generation.

[@jayhpaq]

@Nax QA I am certain I know way more about music than you ever will. Quoting mean girls lines and complaining about getting a “big D” (insert sexual innuendo, nod nod wink wink) does not make for clever lyrics, just dumb ones. Musically they aren’t bad but this is just a dumb song. I saw their Mercury Lounge gig posted on here and they do have better songs than this but Ellastica, the Breeders, and others have already done this better. But you probably don’t know that do you lmao.

[@maelgwni]

@@jayhpaq Are you talking about Pheobe specifically JHP or Wet Leg? I agree with you on Wet Leg, so freaking derivative and dumb-ass lyrics it makes me cringe. I agree that the Breeders etc have done it all before and did a much better job of it. I warmed to Phoebe though - yes she does copy what's done before a lot, but these days since so much music has already been done, it is *very* difficult for musicians to re-invent the wheel. There's no doubt that she is a strong songwriter though.

[@jayhpaq]

@@maelgwni Whoops you are right, I was commenting on another link to that Wet Leg song and got my wires crossed. As for Phoebe, save for a few tracks I find her music to be absolutely stultifying. A friend of mine really likes her so I tried hard to penetrate her dull songs that mostly plod along at the same tempo with just a few exceptions and I just could not do it. I couldn’t even get through half of her latest one- boring a shit. I know a lot about music having collected the best of it for many years and I am at a loss over why she is receiving such allocates to be honest. To each his or her own I guess but her appeal completely escapes me..

To me this felt like coming to terms with the fact that life and time never stop, at the beginning it seems like she is portraying letting go of being a child and forcing herself to “leave” because that is where her life is at. She also wears her “skeletons” in her closet to embrace that because life and time keep going eventually her death will come to and although that concept brings anxiety it’s inevitable so she will simply live as her true self.

This song (and especially the ending with the screams) reminds me of my first experience of insomnia. I was around eleven at that time and asked myself a lot of questions about death, about my own existence. About what I would become when it would all end. I spent nights terrified, locked into anxious thoughts of not existing anymore. It was so brutal I couldn't sleep for days. Then it somehow... passed. Because I try not to spiral into it again. But the ending of this song reminds me of that silent yet deafening fear.

[@mangakatanaka3067]

THIS SONG IS ABOUT THE BIBLICAL END OF THE WORLD. YET THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO THINK THE BIBLE IS JUST FICTION. WHEN THEY CAN'T STOP REFERENCING IT. LOOK I HAVE BEEN WHERE YOU ARE WITH EXISTENTIAL DREAD BUT I KNOW THE THING THAT CAN CURE IT THE TRUTH AND THE ONE WHO IDENTIFIED HIMSELF AS THE TRUTH => THE EARTH IS FLAT = 100% THE BIBLE IS REAL = 100% GOD IS LITERALLY ABOVE YOUR HEAD = 0% REASON TO HAVE ANXIOUTY OR EXISTENTIAL DREAD ANYMORE.

Eh, it's pretty direct and derivative, how many times can we contrive death into a song before it isn't though. There's much more contemplative, timeless, and interminable pieces put out that speak much more volumes about the subject matter. Try the Hand that Rocks the Cradle, Come up and Get Me, or You Want it Darker. By The Smiths, Death Grips, and Leonard Cohen respectively. Macabre depictions in lyrical form, with undertones of sexuality, perversion, and others littered and subjectivity abundant.

The definitive apocalyptic anthem for the world we are living in. Each verse ratcheting the tension until the song explodes into a guitarmaggedon of joyous destruction. As we all sit in our “haunted houses with picket fences” watching the world go crazy, it is easy to believe that the end is not near, but here. As an Aussie, I also like the final nod to Robert Forster in the Go-Betweens' Was There Anything I Could Do? Oh, and yeah finally - skeleton onesies rule!

I remember having a conversation with my Dad about how my life didn’t seem like it was going anywhere, I said that the “I’m not gonna go down with my home town in a tornado, I’m gonna chase it” line was a perfect metaphor for how I felt. I didn’t want to stay in the same place well visions of an unpredictable future destroyed me, I wanted to face the future head on and move into a different place. Fast forward to today and I’m in the process of moving out and going to a new college for Music Production. I really love this song, it perfectly captures how I feel about my future sometimes

[@fantasticmrgon]

I see all of you talking about how this video talks about accepting death as in life but I see it more of death of a carreer. How, in the end, when she keeps doing the same (all the clothes are identical), she is doing it because she loves it and will love it forever (her older self is the only one dancing in the end), even if people doesn't like it (the stadium is empty and the only people at the concert are standing still)

[@TooManyRecords]

Not only the song of the year, but honestly one of the best songs I've ever heard. Phoebe remains unstoppable and I cannot wait to see where she goes, musically and artistically, over the next few decades.

[@Amberasylum1981]

i feel like she is the young girl in the locker room and then she is also the old woman in the stadium. past-present-future end and beginning alpha omega. the bite of the apple- inception of truth- the kiss of death at the end is the summation, the present self having circled around the past and future self like a snake eating its own tail.

As a whole the song seems to be about coming to terms with your own death. But the skeleton pjs stood out to me. I'm the video there was a huge closet full of the skeleton pjs. Is that a reference to the saying skeletons in the closet? If so maybe it's supposed to mean when your growning old it's not worth it to keep your secrets hidden. She literally wears them and at the end it was symbolizing the sweet kiss of death. The old lady is also her. Idk I just had a thought and wanted to share. Comment your ideas.

I fell in love with the song there and then.

[@lillyotoole298]

The young girl who rolls the apple is a younger version of Phoebe. When she bites the apple, you can hear birds chirping which serves as an awakening “truce” with the impending fate of death. Both the video and the song pick up tempo at this point and the increased chaos symbolizes the array of emotions that death inevitably confronts us with

Yes! From accepting the apple from her younger self (unsure if the apple is an allusion to genesis and sin or not, essentially aging out of childhood innocence) to a moment of panic running from death...to walking straight up and confronting her older, dead self (and her fate).

this song makes me feel like I'm gonna burst from all the emotion it creates inside of me. the transition from sadness to rebellion to apathy/adaptation/acceptance/relief to the change of mind about the acceptance is amazing. the instrumentals perfectly underline it. I would've never thought that a song that seems so repetitive in its melodies could tell such a captivating story about coming to terms with the world ending. When i first listened to this, the last part caught me completely off guard. I believed that it would end in peace and acceptance, and suddenly the screaming began. It gave me chills.
