It's kinda interesting that at no point does he actually say that he's drunk, he say's he's thirsty or trashed but never specifically drunk, it's always danced around or avoided like he can't admit it to himself.

No one has mentioned this yet, but at the end of the song he throws up, falls down then the moment he rolls on his back the entire video turns into a dream sequence of him sliding down into darkness. The way most people die from alcahol is this exact thing. He was choking to death through the whole ending.

[@ScottAnimations2021]

Wow, I'll never be able to look at it the same again. Also, something people don't mention as well is the fact that his mood changes to being a caring, responsible person to slow non energetic, moody guy is very on point to how drinking to much actually does to a person.

​@WhateverWhenever888 it is relatable to me aswell, but nonetheless this song perfectly portrays how terrible drinking to this level frequently is.

[@the_actual_alex]

love the fact this some of this could really apply to any addiction, not just alcohol "Feel so much better than usual I feel indisputable Oh I think that I might be beautiful" "Another night losing it more than I can afford Was I just feeling bored? Am I that insecure?" "Don't wake me up from this spell I'm under if I'm still breathing I know that I will be ugly when I feel like myself again" "I'm gonna hate myself tomorrow then I'll do it again"

As someone with depersonalization-derealization disorder combined with maladaptive daydreaming disorder + addiction to food and videogames, all as ways to hide from reality by indulging in short-term meaningless pleasures, this song is basically word for word my experience (minus the actual drinking ofc) during my worst moments. I'm now thankfully far removed from that and have gotten way better, but I still love this song, I think because hearing it for the first time made me feel so seen. I also think that the genre of electronic is great for this sort of thing because the highs that you get and the fast-paced thoughts are something that electronic music really makes you feel to your core, even if you haven't quite experienced something like this before

"As long as I'm thirsty, no one can hurt me" Legitimately the belief of all alcoholics put into words. It's a broken mentality but it's a hope that all of us strive to prove: that something out there let's us survive the struggles of life. "Trying to look at heaven, but I cant see the stars." However, this hope amounts to nothing, because all that happens is he hates himself, he doesnt need others to do it for him. Beautiful song. Edit: I wanted to say that yes there is hope, but cripplingly terrible addictions like alcohol are not it.

“Feels so much better than usual-“ the chorus perfectly expresses the high of giving into addiction, you feel so much better in that moment. But even under the influence, you know it’s temporary. “But now I’m feeling so beautiful/ Don’t wake me up from the spell I’m under if I’m still breathing/ I know that I will be ugly when I feel like myself again,” You continue to escalate and fuel that high because you know that once you’re sober you’ll hate yourself.

[@FanZ2626]

This is probably the most affective depictions of problematic alcohol use I've ever seen; when I (hopefully) have kids someday, as soon as they get old enough to consider drinking, I intend to show them this as a warning of a type of of tempting thought and behavioral patterns that should be avoided.

Or introduce them to the song without warning them about alcohol, that way they're gonna figure out the song's message for themselves (it'll be more effective that way)

[@FanZ2626]

@@Stvhlinger Maybe; but I do feel like this is the kind of song that could easily be misinterpreted, especially if you only heard it without also seeing the video; in this case I could see someone mistaking it for a CELEBRATION of drinking if they focus too much on the mostly-cheerful tone and don't catch the details of the lyrics, especially since those lyrics contain a huge amount of rationalization and self-deception on the part of the singer. And a lot of the implications here only make sense once you have enough life experience under your belt. So I definitely think it also merits some discussion; but it probably wouldn't hurt for someone's first viewing/listening to be as blind as possible. Then probably have them re-watch the whole thing after discussing what it's actually about.

[@Stvhlinger]

@@FanZ2626 I guess you could ask them their thoughts once they've watched it, and you could discuss afterwards if you want to. There's no harm in that. But I have to add, the song here, along with the lyrics makes it easy for someone to understand what the character is going through, even if they've had little to no experience with alcoholism. I think you can make your kids watch it when they're teenagers, when they're close to adolescence? That choice is definitely up to you, and not me. Goodluck.

​@@StvhlingerI think that sounds best. Kids aren't dumb, but they can misinterpret messages (just like adults). But respecting their intelligence and building an honest rapport where you then share how you viewed the song and animation would be a good approach to foster a trusting, supportive relationship where they feel they could come to you and be heard and respected in the future. And it's a great song and video, so they'll probably think their parent is a little cooler 😂

Everything this song is, explains the exact reason why I haven't touched a bottle of alcohol for over a year. The feeling of losing control, finally letting go of everything inside me whenever i had the chance. It scared me. My authentic self, my soul and all its colours were kept hidden inside me 24/7, and drinking was the one thing that allowed me to let it all out. Be myself. Have fun MY way. Do what I WANTED. GET MY FREEDOM. Over this year i changed. I learned so much, discovered more about myself and my loved ones. For anyone who's struggling with alcohol rn, all it takes is one week. Literally one week. You could change your life, give yourself the happiness you deserve without literal poison. The best part? You'll enjoy every waking moment. Stay strong. Stay clean.

This is the single best video on all of youtube. Not just because the song is fire, but because the music video is maybe the most expressive animation I've ever seen. Yeah, it's not as visually impressive as Spiderverse, but I think it barely gets the edge because of just how genius every aspect of this animation is. The only problem is when he has the skull instead of his normal head, it's very clearly off time.

[@RiDaku]

This is one of my favorite depictions of alcoholism. The faces, his demons, appearing at the door before he's even touched a glass, showing that he knows exactly what's going to happen. "Just" being used for one, two, three, four, five, six, eight drinks because he's excusing himself, pretending like everything's fine until he's too drunk to care. By twelve drinks he's self-actualizing, he's coming to terms (again) with his alcoholism and questioning himself, comes face to face with his demons of addiction, and then decides to drown them in more booze. You can also see him gradually becoming less and less happy. The first few drinks he's smiling and having a good time, and as the song quickly spirals out of control getting faster and faster you can also see him spiraling out of control and hating it. Absolutely incredible depth and storytelling for a bouncy song that a lot of alcoholics party to without realizing the irony.

[@nonoah4284]

Good articulation of the message. Except that after 12 drinks you're not thinking anything.

This song is so catchy man! I could listen to it 5 times over and NOT be bored with it. Plus, it aswell as the animation is full of symbolism about the struggles of alcoholism and addiction in general. Moderation when consuming alcohol is ALWAYS important! The faces laughing at skully are the demons he's trying to escape by drinking so much, only to return because he feels worse after all that. My favorite part is 3:09 Just the imagery of him falling upon the drinks and starting to be *hurt* by them with each collision happening with the drumbeats-SATISFYING AND AMAZING(or should i say "AA" mazing?) *Ba-dum tss*

I noticed that after he loses consciousness the heads don’t say “*just* 12 drinks.” They say “12 drinks” like he’s not even trying to make it seem like a small amount anymore. And after that point he’s not making up excuses either, just left to realize how deep he’s gotten in his addiction. The last thing left is his real reason (aside from now being addicted), that he does it to drown his insecurities and make his brain foggy so he’s unable to think about it so much while in his drunken state

[@xenoswarrior6900]

I totally agree. This whole song by definition is a song about justifying reasons to become "Drunk". I feel the heads stop saying "just # drinks" and change simply because right before they say "12 drinks", he asks if he was saying something, as he himself has forgotten why he is drinking. He cant even remember the number, because the number doesnt matter. The truth is, at a certain point, as you said, he doesnt care how many, he is simply drinking, and that's all he cares about. He wants to simply drink because, "As long as I'm thirsty, nobody can hurt me."

[@xenoswarrior6900]

Edit: actually after another relisten, he jumps from "just 8 drinks" to asking if he was saying something. He leaves a hospital and then says "12 drinks". So he literally just lost track and doesnt care.
