[@Ruisu-San]

Hello Nena…It’s true! Pau is very excited about directing this video. The Manager (Rudy) gave her a green light for that. Pau is very creative, so I think she will do a great job. BTW, I don’t know if you are familiar with Rudy, this guy is their manager, but he has become more than that, he is family now. He protects them, gives them advice and push them to be better everyday. He taught them how to use social media in a productive way to grow their fandom and promote their music. He is not the typical manager, he was in Hollywood before he met “The warning”. He didn’t know much about the music business, but when he saw the ladies playing years ago, something happen in his heart, he knew he had to help them. I think he deserves a video from you, maybe an analysis of his personality and relationship with the girls would be fantastic.

[@psychologyofrock]

Very interesting idea! I agree they are extremely fortunate to have him. I'm so glad they truly seem to be surrounded by support!

[@TeemarkConvair]

@@psychologyofrock fascinating idea!

[@Robertsmith-dy3sh]

The depth and Darkness in a lot of The Warnings lyrics is such a wild contrast to the sparkling fun personalities the girls have. I feel that they really have the ability to get the emotion and vibe they are shooting for across without having to be ultra literal in the lyrics, absolute masters of their craft!

[@psychologyofrock]

Yes! Well said. I think having both aspects makes an incredible package. There is nothing I dislike about these incredible women. :)

[@cncs2806]

Pau herself confirmed it in an interview. She said she always had a vision of what a "Qué más quieres" video should look like and decided to direct it herself. Apparently they recorded it before traveling to Mexico City for the Vive Latino festival.

[@psychologyofrock]

Fantastic! I can’t wait to see it! 😊🤘🏻⚡️

[@nichep1]

Yes, Pau said she was the co-director.

[@psychologyofrock]

Excellent! 😊🤘🏻

[@KOOL_AID_KID]

Early video this week 🤩 needed this! 😅 Also want to say that this is my favourite out of all the new singles 😁

[@psychologyofrock]

It’s a great one. So far, S!CK is my favorite from the new singles, but it might get eclipsed by Automatic Sun after I hear it 😊⚡️ I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

[@kenbourne8011]

Again and again these ladies produce a lyrical depth that eclipses their ages. The professional maturity continues to impress. The talent here is simply undeniable and how they use it is improving exponentially. They are special Nena, and well on their way to being an all time act.

[@psychologyofrock]

Hi Ken! I could not agree more! Simply outstanding!

[@louiebee6745]

Excellent analysis Nena! Once again at 4:26 more 'drowning' references courtesy of Pau. Speaking of, one can only imagine what she has up her sleeve in bringing her dark lyrics and vision to life as a music video. You know it's gonna be interesting, to say the least!🤘⚡

[@psychologyofrock]

It’s going to be amazing - I’m sure it’s fulfilling for her to be able to pursue additional creative avenues! 😊🤘🏻❤️

[@ornitorrinkko]

I believe that this is the clearest lyrics regarding the manipulative and obsessive relationship that exists between, on the one hand, social media-consumerism-political propaganda-the internet-artificial intelligence (and the social chaos that has been unleashed in the world), and on the other hand, we, the people, consumers, and addicts, from all over the world. That's my interpretation. It's the same theme (for me) of Sick, More, Hell You Call a Dream... (and even Disciple and Error), it fits with the title of the album: Keep Me Fed.

[@psychologyofrock]

I agree that there is definitely a strong theme on this album. I know some people are speculating that it’s a concept album - I guess we will have to wait and see. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! ⚡️

[@gasparole]

One can only wonder the lyrics TW will come up with when they fall in love.

[@psychologyofrock]

They will definitely be intense! :)

[@KOOL_AID_KID]

Also want to point out that Q+Q is right before MORE on the track list we have so far. It’s like both songs are fighting over each other in a lyrical kind of way 🤔

[@psychologyofrock]

Strong theme so far for KMF 😊🤘🏻

[@KOOL_AID_KID]

@@psychologyofrockagreed

[@joseangelmoreno8380]

Yes Paulina said when it was written in was originally in English but that they wanted a song in their native language on this album so they changed the lyrics to Spanish hopefully when their far along in their careers they make a all Spanish rock album

[@psychologyofrock]

I think that would be amazing! I truly hope they go forward with that! :)

[@jluisg622]

Todas las letras de los temas de The Warning ,siempre dejan un mensaje,la relación toxica en el tema Qué Más Quieres en la vida real es mas común de lo que imaginamos

[@glengibbs1949]

Thanks! Always enjoy your The Warnng analysis. I can read and hear Spanish nearly fluently and was instantly struck by these lyrics. When I played it and translated the lyrics for my wife, she found it very disturbing. The disturbing lyrics, to me, harken back to the darkness of QOTMS. This song is pure The Warning in every sense, and it rocks!. I love it!

[@psychologyofrock]

It’s intentionally disturbing 😊 I think the lyrics are brilliant and another great “warning”. Very excited for Automatic Sun! ⚡️

[@carlaauri8461]

Hello Nena, wonderful analytical view of a song that as you work your way through I started applying a broader perspective to it. As you correctly point out before anything it always is a personal interpretation. As a sociologist and native Spanish speaker I also can’t help understanding this manipulative behavior to institutions and governments (each here fill out the blank). Something we should all be aware and protective specially the youth where indoctrination occurs fast and often lasting. Thanks again for your dedication and expert analysis, love from Mexico ❤️

[@psychologyofrock]

So glad you enjoyed it, and I appreciate you sharing your insight! Agree with the idea that manipulative behavior is not confined to relationships... :)

[@carlaauri8461]

@@psychologyofrock Thank you Nena you are so generous. You are correct, in fact studies show institutional manipulation lay out a path (intentionally) where individuals develop habits of control often targeting those that are at a subordinate level and closer (Family or otherwise).

Having been in an abusive relationship with a narcissist, this song hits differently now that I know what it’s about.

[@wannabedane4046]

Hey Nena, I like your analysis and have nothing to offer in return apart from my appreciation ;o) In the end, I guess, we'll have to wait for the album to be released to know if the songs are inter-connected conceptually.

[@psychologyofrock]

Yes :) I can't wait!

[@torresilk4277]

I’m sure I’m a bit slow with this thought but as all the songs had co writers then that would be why it started out as English. But the girls are always in charge and the Spanish works soooo well for this. 😁

[@psychologyofrock]

I agree. I think the impact would have been so much less if it had been recorded in English…

[@jg75cl]

Very interesting and I agree. Now I think there is another layer of analysis. Many of the lyrics in Keep me Fed are not written just to tell a story, but they insinuate that one can end up doing what is criticized (like Consume). The phrase "the power that you give me" I think has to do with how that abusive relationship is fed (in the emotional psychological sense, which is what the song is about). In other words, the relationship could have started well. But in the process something unequal in power and authority began to occur, with small things, until reaching a level of manipulation and asymmetry that was harmful. In other words, there was a cycle that allowed it to increase over time. The narrative of the song serves as a warning. The desire to manipulate in order to get something begins in childhood and does not abandon us. I think that the lyrics of The Warning seek to awaken our conscience that sometimes becomes numb or distracted in the society in which we live.

[@briancoburn9556]

Great video as always, Nena. I'm pretty sure the term Gaslighting comes from the 1944 film, Gaslight. It starred Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman. In it, Charles was doing things to make Ingrid question her sanity. Looking forward to your next video.

[@psychologyofrock]

You are absolutely correct, Brian! I love that you knew that! 😊

[@louiebee6745]

LOVE that movie! Ingrid Bergman won an Oscar for Best Actress in Gaslight.

[@psychologyofrock]

Well-deserved! 😊

[@jimschoeff4185]

I have never been in a relationship like this song alludes to. However, I have been in a relationship with someone who was healing from being in this type of relationship. The damage done is incomprehensible, and it takes time and patience to help someone recover from the emotional abuse. Imagine not being able to believe and trust that someone cares for you and has no ulterior motives.

[@psychologyofrock]

Well said, Jim. This type of manipulation can leave deep emotional scars. It takes time,space, and sometimes even therapy to heal from this…

[@jimschoeff4185]

Therapy was a large part of the healing process. The therapist included me in some sessions so I would understand and be aware of things I could help with.@@psychologyofrock

[@DenisDolisy]

Thank you for the great analysis ! I fully agree with you. It's really impressive how much the girls know about psychology at their young age and the little time they have to learn new things. They really continuously impress me !

[@psychologyofrock]

It’s truly amazing! They are wise beyond their years!

[@DenisDolisy]

@@psychologyofrock Yes, they truly are 🖤🖤

[@DarrellW_UK]

I finally get to know what it’s all about! Wow, that’s serious vibes I did think maybe it had a pretty dark meaning but not quite like this! Of the odd few words I could pick up I guessed maybe it was about a relationship gone bad but OMG, Pau is a lyrical genius, I bet it came out of some of those books her and Dany used to like reading 😜. Yeah I’m very much looking forward to what you make of Automatic Sun, I have a few ideas but need to listen to it some more; looking forward to seeing your thoughts!

[@psychologyofrock]

Oh yes, it is definitely dark! :) I have only heard a snippet of Automatic Sun - I'm looking forward to the release!

[@DarrellW_UK]

@@psychologyofrock you’re probably going to think that I’m crazy but my rethink is based on clues in the video. A qui is used a lot, pointing to a key; the band at the wedding is Las Wawas - the pet name for The Warning by the South American fans also Wawa is the bands affectionate name for their old North American tour bus; Rudy as the Pastor at the wedding - also on Dust to Dust; time on the clock in the Police station 8:26 - 26/08 = release date of the new album; the chest we don’t see what’s in it - maybe the remaining songs of the album. So to me it could be a message rather than a satirical look at Mexican soaps and the Cartel; we shall see😁

[@lequ1152]

The Warning's covering of these dark themes will surely educate and help many to avoid toxic relationships or have the strength to get out of them. As always I enjoyed your analysis. Also can anyone direct me to where I can get a "You Have Been Warned" shirt? Yes I have checked their merch site and have Emailed them asking if it may be available.

[@psychologyofrock]

Yes, they are good with giving us "warnings" :)

[@markdicesare7936]

this was very enlightening because I never try to look inside a song that way so thanks for that.

[@psychologyofrock]

You are very welcome, Mark! 😊🤘🏻⚡️

[@leesupnorth8229]

I can see this song meaning two different things depending on how you look at it. If you listen with a Queen Of The Murder Scene view point it's about a toxic relationship that no one should ever be in, but if you listen with a Error or XXI Century Blood view point it can be about technology. Big technology companies always want people to buy new "Bigger and Better" products, and social media companies attract people to stay on their website as long as possible, even banks and government agencies push online only forms and documents. The push of technology leads to accounts being hacked, social media addiction, and cyber bullying. Even with these risks we always come back for more. That is because there's good things like finding new music, connecting with old friends and watching videos like this one. Basically the internet itself is a toxic relationship filled with some good but mostly bad things. I heard at one time ( I'm not sure of the truthfulness of this story though) that the term "gaslighting" came from an early 1900s play in wich a husband kept turning down the gas powered lamps in the house. When his wife would ask why the lights were dim he would say they weren't and there must be something wrong with her. What a horrible way to be. If anyone out there is with someone like that please get out of the relationship, you deserve better.

[@psychologyofrock]

Very interesting thoughts, Lee! Thanks so much for sharing! 😊🤘🏻⚡️

[@AdmiralYeti8042]

You should listen to the entire “Queen of the Murder Scene” and break that down. It’s a concept album that tells a tragic story of love, obsession and murder and it never comes out and says it directly and the more I listen to it the more I’m floored that a masterpiece like this was made by a band so young.

[@psychologyofrock]

I absolutely love the album and have been planning on doing a whole series for a long time! Great suggestion! 😊🤘🏻⚡️

The Warning continue to show a pattern where their songs are about relationships, which can be seen as a relationship between individuals, but always strongly hint at a relationship between human beings and the world we all live in.

From the interview where Pau said she was directing her first music video, with Ivan, she said (based on the high quality of auto-translate😮) she always makes movies in her head of their songs & this one she saw very clearly so the team said do it!. I can’t wait to see it! ….& also when do we get “Paulina Villarreal presents: Queen of the Murder Scene, the movie”?! 😂 move over Rob Zombie!

[@JesusVillanueva]

Pau was recently interviewed by Javier Paniagua. Before her both Rudy and Dany did interviews with the same person, all have been very candid conversations lasting about 2 hours each. I recommended them to any diehard fan, we are all waiting for the Ale interview now. Pertinent to this conversation is a video clip if that interview where they talk about Pau directing "Que Mas Quieres". kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHPaeoiYrdqsrNk Unfortunately the video is in Spanish and while it was auto captioned in Spanish it missed some word, which only make this harder to understand when translated. But there is nothing better than getting information directly from the source.

[@psychologyofrock]

I feel like I miss out on so much by not speaking Spanish! I can understand some words, but I definitely need a translation :-)

[@Ab-yq1hy]

idk i will watch full video shortly but i am at bit you said you would love to hear my interpretation, so i think the woman of the song is taking advantage of the man for something and the man knows its killing him but has no choice but to stay with the woman, the contaxt is not clear its very general, ig they put it into a context of using the man to get the key to unlock set thing, its unrevealed, but yh basiclaly same as you soo far will watch rest of the video now

[@personne-fp6cr]

I was wondering if you could do an analysis of 23 from their album error? Pau said it's a very personal song for her in a live show (i believe it was the one they did in montreal when ale couldn't be there so they did an acoustic set), so i think it was actually written about a specific person! And some of the lyrics lead me to believe it's either about an ex that has moved on, or unrequited love for a close friend (lines like the repeated "is it wrong?" in the chorus, "i guess i'll love you on my own" and "a work of art that's not for me at all") I'd love to hear your thoughts!

[@psychologyofrock]

I will add 23 to the list! :)

I always thought this is from the POV of an abuser. It hits home as it resembles my ex marriage to a nacissist.

[@psychologyofrock]

I agree - it is a surprisingly dark song with very well crafted lyrics. ⚡️ So sorry that you have experienced this type of relationship.

[@Captain_Kirk116]

Hey Nena! I definitely agree with what you said about gaslighting but overall my interpretation of the lyrics seems to be very different from a lot of people cuz I think it has a political message. I think that it's about politicians offering the general public all kinds of "free" stuff and holding it over them until they are reelected. Due to the album title, the phrase "don't bite the hand that feeds" comes to mind. I also think it could be a commentary on the relationship between artists and the music industry, which is probably more likely lol.

[@psychologyofrock]

Interesting thoughts! It could have layers of meanings...

[@johnmacleod9507]

A song like this or any well written song can fit into many situations, politicians, internet algorithms and the purpose behind them or a personal relationship all can gain a level of manipulative control. The Music Industry is in fact infamous for such tactics, I remember hearing how drugs and partying were pushed onto the Runaways and then the leverage put on them afterwards to feed the beast created. Sherry (Cherry?) I think it was spoke about this. While my understanding of the term is imperfect, addiction seems to be a way a person can even do it to themselves after a fashion.

[@macgherhardt1061]

The lyrics reminded me of White Lines, by Grandmaster Flash, 1983, which is about cocaine addiction. So, at first, I thought that’s what this song was about.

[@psychologyofrock]

I will have to look it up!

[@genboyer]

Aloha Nena, I would love to hear QMQ sung in English...just to hear the difference of it's impact compared to Spanish. And what made them compose a song with such heavy lyrics with an uptempo beat? As opposed to 23 or Revenant kind of tempo? I too would like to know if Paulina wrote this all on her own or was it collaborative?

[@psychologyofrock]

I'm not sure! I agree it would be interesting to hear the original English version. I think Spanish is perfect for the song! :)
