Gondola is a deceivingly powerful meme.

[@kipras14]

This has legitimate artistic value.

[@DandyDNA]

2:51 After he's gone, after the music quite literally stops, the world still goes on. Excellent summary of how depressed people feel: that they are not able to make their mark, that they are unable to prove they exist.

[@vivi-fe5rj]

I'm going to say something possibly pretensions: this is the most powerful suicide "meme" I've seen. I've seen a lot of them, the /biz/ wojak breakdowns, the pepe day of retribution, and doomer depression. Nothing comes close to this. Gondola is a great "meme" because it is about observing, and this "meme" eludes to the fact that after years of observing, this Gondola despaired at the state of the world. Gondola's psyche is not clouded by poor stocks, is not preoccupied with failures in dating, is not inherently depressive as the doomer, Gondola simply is. However, even in this objective state of observing, Gondola noticed something so horrible about the world that he couldn't bear to observe anymore - his only purpose in life. That is why I say that this is the most moving/disturbing of all suicide memes I've seen. This Gondola wasn't driven over the edge by a relationship, by failure, or by anything of the sort. This objective entity killed himself because of something he observed about the absurdity of existence. That, to me, is what makes this "meme" so great.

No, because the "im noticing the truth about life" is ironically, a sign of being clouded by depression.

[@NoveskeYT]

Isn't that country top 5 in quality of life?

[@TheThingInMySink]

Yeah, and my city is the 2nd greatest consumer of amphetamines in relation to it's populatuion in Europe. But I digress because I was mostly referring to how everything looks gray and bleak and it's always raining, if not then it's snowing or giant balls of ice are dropping from the sky because our thundergod is angry.

[@nihlus9589]

Finland is the happiest country because all the unhappy people keep killing themselves

[@Bllinker]

[@mr.strugglesnuggle6668]

+Noveske Yes but Finland is one of the countries with the most suicides as well.

[@Bigos4]

They say Gondola is a dead meme... For me it's a deeper meaning, a really melancholic "meme" that's different from others. They say it's dead, because they don't understand it, they want something to laugh at. For me Gondola would be alive somewhere forever...

[@ezechiel4619]

And still now we somehow still get to bump in to Gandola, but there’s no shame in fact it’s a miracle.

[@roastpolice1139]

The direction in this is actually incredible. It's a lot better than what big budget movie studios can do. There's no music cue that tells you "time to be scared now!". It shows us everything, and leaves us to find out what's there for our selves. The run down apartment that Gondola lives in tells us he's poor. He can't afford a house of his own, or even a decent apartment. Instead, all he has is his run down room. He's playing a somewhat sinister but upbeat sounding song through out the whole thing. while a TV with a static screen is on in the background, maybe telling us that Gondola's life has become static itself. As he walks into the bathroom you can see another Gondola, transparent and sitting in the shower looking down, showing us the depressing showers Gondola has had, as the real Gondola sits there staring into the mirror thinking about his life, the more he thinks about it, the paler his reflection becomes as the life drains out of it, until it's nearly complete white showing us that Gondola's will to live has finally disappeared. As he leaves the room, you can see another Gondola sitting by the door with a bottle of alcohol sits right next to him, showing us Gondola's alcoholic tendencies. Gondola calmly walks into his room, gets the rope, and just hangs. No fear, no hesitation. He'd already made up his mind, and threw his fear out when he did it. The camera zooms in on him as he hangs, the sinister but upbeat music still playing, TV still static, and cars passing in the background without anyone noticing, because the world goes on even without Gondola. Then, just like Gondola, lightning strikes. The power that was on just a second ago just dies as we watch, just as Gondola did. He now hangs in a quiet and dark room, all by him self. And the the cameras pans out and to the top of the roof, where you can see another Gondola. Perhaps it's Gondola's soul after passing away, looking over the city he once lived in. Or perhaps it's another completely different Gondola, ready to end everything just like the one we saw before. I probably looked way too into things. I also have no clue what the image on the TV was, and I'm not very confident in my understanding of the video, and I'm positive I missed some stuff as well.

[@OkayNope]

this is truly the best gondola art/video that ever seen. i can tell a lot of effort was put into this. amazing

[@chestnut4860]

Go On, Nobody Did Once Like Anything Gondola Just when you think you’re safe In the middle of this pouring rain You stare at your reflection And you ask if you are sane Cause the nights been going for far too long And your thoughts are leaking poison The whiskey in the table Won’t hold you back another night, son Despite the fact that we hide it Deep down we are gondola Waiting for the day to say goodbye Despite the proven facts We choose to walk alone Because deep down we are gondola And we need to pick up that phone The town then flood And the waters raised As the moonlight hits me on the face Dark clouds above The thunder roars And my thoughts seep down to my human pours No one here and no one there But the memories where I have failed The light grey ghost in the bathroom mirror Oh god that’s me! How’d I end up here?? Despite the fact that we hide it Deep down we are gondola Waiting for the day to say goodbye Despite the proven facts We choose to walk alone Because deep down we are gondola And we need to pick up that phone This night isn’t for me And it isn’t for you The waters right at my window I’m staring right at my door As the blood from my eyes leaks into the carpet floor I’ve pushed the limit I’ve gone insane Is there anyone who can understand my brain?? Cause now It’s all Come around Despite the fact that I hide it Deep down I am gondola Waiting for my final day to say goodbye Despite the proven facts I choose to walk alone Because deep down I am gondola And I need to pick up that phone
