Man, I swear this is the dopest beat I've heard in a decade.

[@alanawrisley2860]

Tommie profit makes the best beats he is my fav producer. Nf has the best beats I heard a couple beats for new album and bro there is a beat I heard that is legit the best ever heard. So epic. The strings are sooo insane.

The ending is inspired by Revelation 3:5 - He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white garment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

[@random7112]

I'm not against the bible. Well I'm a Christian to also say. I was iffy about that but it does make some sense into that. More since at the end of Leave Me Alone he gives his burdens to someone which is more than likely God. Then in Change how he says he should talk to God more.

[@chrisolson84]

Makes sense, thanks for sharing.

Balloons symbolize burdens, in lyrics there is this part "/What does that mean, Nate? I've been learning / Grabbin' my keepsakes, leavin' my burdens / Well, I brought a few with me, I'm not perfect/" when he says that last line he points to balloons with his hand.

[@Getawayo]

I believe his burdens are the people in white suits because while he escaped his mind (the cell) that means he’s venturing out and the burdens are following him wherever he goes and at the end they give him a white suits trying to tell him to become one of them and fit in

[@thegrinch346]

Pretty sure they’re the people in the background not the balloons

[@jasonharter4876]

@@Getawayo I interpreted the people in white as those who had made it out of the cage. notice they carry the baloons as well. Those are burdens that everyone carries. The only difference is that NF just got out of his cage while the others have been out. At the end of the video after the black screen NF is sitting in the shopping cart, and a person in white walks up and drops off a white uniform.

[@Getawayo]

J Sin okay I can see what you’re saying but why are they handing him that uniform it’s obvious they want him to conform with them but what makes them different

[@jasonharter4876]

@@Getawayo its like stepping out of the darkness and in to the light. They didnt force him to put it on. Its just in the basket. Thus, he has the opportunity to get out if the darkness.

[@michaelperkins9260]

Like it's been said, the balloons are his burdens/issues. This video is symbolic throughout the entire part! You also didn't watch the very end!!!!! That's gonna play a key part in the next video or should I say sequel to his movies he puts out. Also, notice the cage in the background from Outcast? He was locked in it, he had the keys, and now, in this one....he walked away from the cage he felt trapped in. This 4th...but technically 5th album is gonna be LIT!🔥

[@crispinmushoke]

notice he doesn't curse but he is more provocative than all the music with cursing in it?

[@anthonywahome20]

He doesn't curse coz he's a christian rapper.Check out his old music

NF is far and away my favorite artist that I found out about in 2020

[@Burgee_6289]

if you notice the cage in the background and he's walking away from it. it symbolizes that he's no longer trapped in his mind, but he's still carrying some baggage from it.

[@cleave61]

You missed a part at the end of the search video.

[@autumnmarchant5122]

He writes and makes his videos. He has his hands in every part of his work. He is 🔥 these are his life stories

[@vaderst7676]

The balloons symbolize his burdens. The other people in the video in the white outfits had less balloons than he had and at the end of that video (that you didn't see) one of those people gave him a white outfit.

[@devilzadvocate7735]

I think the balloons are his baggage... his flaws...the evil in his mind. Just my thoughts

[@Prophxo]

yee.. the balloons are his baggage and at the start you will see him walk away from his cage. Which in Outcast is his mind. So many hidden messages in his videos

[@JaayCeez]

Yes they are, its what he uses to represent our and his baggage. The cage in the background is his Mansion/House, and the cart is like his horse that he uses to carry himself and his baggage around. You know like he doesn't really needs ornfeel he needs any physical objects or materials, all he needs is an empty cart for himself and his baggage, eberything else isn't important. I wonder what the people in white is, my guess its us mindlessly walking in the set path they have put for us and NF is finally stepping out of his cage/house/himself and is trying to find a new safe haven for himself but he has to walk through or among the sheeps/blind followers that follow thebalready set paths. I'm assuming or guessing that if he continues to tell this story in the future videos of the songs of Album 4, that eventually this path going to lead him to his now lovely wife. Given he has hinted that the album is going to contain more of his songs like this and songs talking about how She has been like the light at the end if the tunnel in his life. It would be really cool given how great of a story teller he is and how he only writes his own experiences. Im guessing this album will be an emotional rollercoaster. 🙏🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@strayshottz4485]

He's usually talking to himself

[@johnpaul4070]

The song was lit! Classic NF

[@goodsonsk]

You didn't play the entire 'The Search' video. It comes back on after the song title fades away... Interesting finish...

[@alanawrisley2860]

It's his " Real" hat he always wears. For Real Music. His album drops July 26th. It's called The Search. This is the title song. The cover art released also

[@corylyonsmusic]

If you watch again, the balloons symbolize his "baggage" or whatever he called it. He points at them and says "I brought a few with me". Also, at the beginning, the cage is in the background like he broke out. So he has whatever "problems" that he still carries with him, those being the balloons.

[@shanongavinski3609]

Dude. You didn't even finish the video. Everybody knows the best part is after the credits role. The balloons are his burdens as he states in the song.

[@JBeeship]

In a interview he did, Nate is apart of every process of him making his stuff. The label he is signed with is his best friend, and he has a say in the editing, the production and etc. He literally will watch it and edit his videos and he thinks that helps what his vision is comes together.

[@michelletaylor369]

He just got married I know a few months ago!

[@shanongavinski3609]

Balloons were in "Why" too. He also refers to his album Therapy Session and Mansion when he says there was something funny going on up in his house so he needed to see a therapist. His albums are all a story of his life. Start at the beginning.

[@lmfw9789]

Bro you gotta see what happens at the end. I believe it is very important!! Very symbolic!

[@khareamchatterie8091]

The people in the back ground are the "people in his mind that he can't get out his house" as he said

[@shellsc3173]

Where has this dude been? He has reacted to too many NF songs not to know the symbolism??....Smh

If I remember right... there are more "burdens/balloons" than previous music videos and they make the cart harder and heavier to push. Right me if I'm wrong

[@darrinharville1714]

U hit that right bout it's personal. Nate don't do interview but he's got 1 u can find it on KZbin and he talks bout how everything is how he could b feeling right then or what he's been thru and what makes me love this kids music so much is the fact he ain't gotta cuss all the time or at all 2 get his point across. I'm a southerner I listen 2 country as my num 1 kinda music the rap and so on I don't judge ppl by how they talk cuz it's expression of their inner feelings it's just nice 2 c some these young bucks can make these beats the same just easier on the ears sometimes lol

Does Balloons are demons that he’s caring around that they won’t let him go.

[@devanstaggs2374]

The balloons are his burdens. The people in White symbolize people that have less burdens that’s y they have less balloons. At the beginning of the song the cage in the back symbolizes the cage from his song outcast. When the guy at the end gives him a set of white clothes he is telling us that he is letting go of some of his burdens.
