The meaning to the song is how he misses his ex even though he is with a different girl, so he does self destructive things to numb the pain.

[@AlexaKing]

That’s the one 👍🏼

[@farouqbharudin1904]

But from my pov the "her" in this song is referring to those destructive things he did cuz thats the only way he numb the pain as you said.

[@inkajoo]

It's even worse, it's about admitting to himself that he's the cause of his own misery (and his current girl's)

[@francesnicole0306]

The music video gives me a feeling of how young broken men act out in destructive ways when all they are really looking for is connection - often times in our society, the connection between romantic partners (say, a man and a woman) is seen as the ultimate bond - so a lot of energy is put into those connections, perhaps at the expense of reaching similar depths with your platonic relationships - your friends. When that relationship is done, there was so much energy and emotional input 'lost' that they spiral into self-destruction. All the men in the video are 'bonding' over destructive activities - either defacing their bodies with tattoos (not saying it's a bad thing, but it's essentially defacing your body in the same way that tagging is defacing a building), getting rid of all their hair, destroying everything (vehicles, houses), either play fighting or really fighting each other, burning things, but there's moments where their relationships are highlighted even if just for a moment - the texting, the shots of various women in conversation with some of the masked men, seemingly an argument between a broken couple. As the video progresses, the intensity of the externalized violence ramps up, but it only serves to counterbalance the intensity of the alienation of the various guys - you see shots of them alone, lying face down on a mattress (presumably crying) in a messed up house, or huddled up close to the skidding cars, or burying their faces on their hands while a car burns in the background. They're all alone, the friendships and the path they've gone down on, wanton destruction of property and even their closest relationships, they've sacrificed even their relationships for the cheap thrills of their adrenaline-fuelled lifestyles, the quick dopamine hits of new excitement. Perhaps regretting their decisions, or the circumstances that brought them here. The video's violence and quickly-edited nature contrasts with the almost serenade-like melancholy of the actual music - ultimately what they're looking for is that love story. Also, in psychoanalysis, the shaving of the head can be seen as a hint that the person completely gave up on its identity, regardless of the motive (which often happens when some people join a gang. They kill their old self and start living for something different, that's why the video feels unsettling)..

Have you considered making a youtube channel? 👀 I’ll subscribe

[@DefenderM8]

THE ANALYSIS. very well written. Glad some people on youtube have a brain.

[@francesnicole0306]

@@AlexaKing Yesss! I'm thinking of using this channel to make health promotion videos, my aim is to engage and empower individuals to choose healthy behaviors, and make changes that reduce the risk of developing diseases and other morbidities... anyway, I'd love to see you react to more Joji songs!

[@marcuselvin3368]

@@francesnicole0306 You have No shame at all, copying someone's analysis of the video verbatim.. Link to get the original comment kzbin.info/www/bejne/anvTe5R5odV8i6s by professor Cookie .. Get some class, you have no mind capacity to make your own analysis and you hence copy off from a man who has insight on what the song and video says through experience of his own.. Shame on you

[@marcuselvin3368]

@@AlexaKing Don't be fooled by this Harlot , making you think that she has some capacity of reasoning .. Sorry for the strong language but I dislike people who steal plus people who are fake

[@chriscrank85]

Hearing the song vs. seeing the video gives 2 totally different stories. More than that this song sings so many different life stories a man goes through and I can feel all of them.. Absolute gold Joji

[@AnxietyRat]

Jojo also has done rap! Under the the name Pink Guy. STFU is a good song! And his food raps ( 'Fried Rice' and 'Ramen') are great too! He mainly did parody/comedy rap back then but there are definitely gems in his Pink Guy album!

[@AlexaKing]

Daamn didn’t even know that! 😃 thanks for sharingg

[@janfranceldelacerna4834]

I honestly love how you react with this bruhv, honest and yet entertaining at the same time. You definitely deserve more subscribers and you earn a new one right now

[@AlexaKing]

Thank you 🥹🙏🏼

[@WarBird115]

I have accepted this as the music videos purpose. Found from the official videos comment section. "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."

[@James-zy8nh]

Melody reminds me of that one Bruno song...great reaction!!

[@AlexaKing]

Omg “When I Was Your Man”? 😂 valid point!!

[@ethanhawthorne1948]

Saw someone say what if the “2 girls” are just one, and viewing the second woman as the toxic point of a relationship when it’s all wrong and that’s him missing how it used to be

[@jauriako321]

that is the power of contrasts

[@stevecanham2191]

Nice to listen to someone that understands music like structure, melody, lyrics and not just, "ooo, that was a nice song." Now you're introduced to him, now go blow your mind and see who he was for a while. Very interesting beginnings for our boy George.

[@O13potato]

We need more joji reactions such as nectar

[@O13potato]

I believe the glimpses of animals signify his previous relationship before he became self destructive.

[@mastermao8592]

The song is beautiful the singing the lyrics the music but the video is kaos and that’s love

[@RaFerCor3001]

I love the song so much

[@stanzaloan3454]

Never looked at it like that. I mean it makes sense. But the pain seems to be about something different and the video reflects having nothing left to lose.

[@khallidyt6184]

Loving the new setup looking good and can’t wait for more content 🙏🏿🙏🏿

I was thinking girls are queen and boys are king
