This is Dangerous! YUNGBLUD ft. Lil Yachty - When We Die Therapist Reacts

[@ProjekktGaming]

The song and visuals are showing how situations like living impoverished or thoughts of suicide can lead to drugs (floating/escapism). The chorus is the addiction speaking. The point where it's all you think about. And maybe some hope that the addiction will be over. Lil Yachty's verse is speaking to a partner that quit drugs and he is trying to get that situation back by bringingthem back to his distorted world. The visual of diving into water upward. Swimming around like it's fun whilst actually drowning. I don't think it's dangerous. It's an allegory of the lies you spoke about. Understanding escapism is the key to understanding this song/video. It's incredible.

I could totally see myself on a nice summer day smoking a joint on the front porch to this song

Been having this on repeat since it came out! For me, someone who struggles with depression, this song is actually so liberating.. I feel like this song is more about life after death than it is about drugs. Remember, art is typically expressed through metaphors and symbolism. Art is amazing because it can be interpreted in so many different ways, but I'm 99% sure YUNGBLUD's idea behind the teenagers on the ground is to represent all the youngins we've lost to suicide. They aren't high, they're "dead", Lil Yachty's shirt actually says "I wanna go home", referring to the afterlife. I feel like they're slowly realizing they still have a conscious on the other side.. which sets them free, knowing they don't have to live in fear (of death/suffering/past or possible future mistakes) and finally being able to trust and enjoy the universe/the unknown! So they take a leap of faith and jump into to water together, symbolizing a rebirth (reincarnating to Earth), before ending it with the close up of his eye, his "new life, new eyes". Like seeing life in a different perspective ❤️ It does remind me of the many people who have experienced spiritual awakenings and rebirths while being under the influence of non addictive psychedelic substances like ayahuasca, DMT or psilocybine (microdosing of mushrooms; that is already being used in therapy for people with mood disorders), especially because of Lil Yachty's line "come and do drugs with me". I've never had any psychedelic but I did have a spiritual awakening, and it did make me realize there's no use in trying to escape this reality, so why not enjoy myself for the time being.. in a healthy way ofcourse, after gaining this new perspective! 😄 I feel like this song has the same message. Instead of trying to unalive yourself, "come and take drugs with me" or in other words; try a different perspective. Anyways, that's my take, thank you for reacting to this one!! 🥰

Ohhh I see. That’s a very interesting interpretation!! Thank you for sharing this perspective and shedding a new light on it. I appreciate that. You’re right. That’s the beauty of art. Love how you so eloquently and interestingly communicated that.

[@KimberleySamantha999]

@@rosalieelliottofficial love hearing you value other interpretations, and I appreciate you for being so open minded to be able to see where I'm coming from! It is true that alot of YUNGBLUD's followers probably won't view the song in this perspective, and in that sense I totally see how taking the lyrics very literally can be dangerous. It could help clear things up if he would be able to release an interview or a video clearing up what he actually meant with the lyrics. Other than that, people need the warning you gave in this video regardless, so thank you for that Rosalie, I appreciate you for not shying away from the truth!!! Keep shining that light, much love! ❤️

@@rosalieelliottofficial that means alot coming from you!! 🥹 Been watching you for years (LOVED the Ren hype on the channel!), yet I've been having troubles with expressing myself and commenting on video's, so thank you for the opportunity to grow as well and welcoming me back, it means more than meets the eye ❤️

His acoustic version to this is phenomenal. I love it better.

[@cathyba5113]

Your reaction is just brilliant. Thank you for your work

[@MacheteMB1775]

yungblud sort of made me think of Liam Gallagher in is younger days

[@Sibuna]

loved the reaction sm

[@rosalieelliottofficial]

Thank you very much :)

[@oscarhokom8394]

React to the acoustic version it’s better. Get to hear his voice better.

[@LostHate]

Just a heads up Rosalie The Warning has to new songs dropping the 8th Hell You Call A Dream and Qué Más Quieres

[@AMF0000]

When we die , we get the truth and the way to life, you let no mind control you or manipulate you . Dreams ? Another way of live a lie . Truth persons don't dream .

[@melaniebruzzese8467]

I kind of heard this differently but it's just my interpretation. I thought it was about those ideas of suicide and doing drugs that are escapism. That when someone says come and do drugs with me, because I believe lil yachty was addicted to drugs but managed to detox, that despite those feelings at first actually when you're dead will you get that feeling anymore. I read it as don't do drugs so the opposite. This is how I helped my 12 year old understand the song. When she watched the video she asked if they were dead. I think they're supposed to be dead and living the afterlife but to her they looked dead. Then it looked like they were drowning with only a moment of good feeling and touch. It was mostly drowning so it felt like maybe it's not so good. Maybe I just used my mother's intuition to portray that way to protect my daughter. Who knows? Hopefully there are other parents supporting their kids with this song. I don't think jumping off a building and looking half dead looked attractive, it was a message to say, nah.....

Ren dropped 3 days ago. Transports you back to motown and then slays sting.

[@ItsMeBliz]

Please 🙏🏻 react to Ren "losing it", its doing big numbers atm on KZbin reactions and I think you would enjoy a different side of his music.

[@ET-xj3qq]

Gurl this music video and song is beautiful what you talking about sad 🤣

Hiii 🌹 Rosalie

[@oscarhokom8394]

Good song

[@torrentbits]

You're thinking of Richard Ashcroft of the Verve or Liam Gallagher of Oasis?

[@joellidstrom668]

Hello! Try out ”White lion - When the children cry”☝🏻

Storms of Africa by Enya….

I presume the person with the glasses was John Lennon?

[@queenofdeejays]

John Lennon. I think this is the person u didn't remember the name of ;)

[@laskinov]

Oasis?

[@randlewilliams8288]

Nice vocals, but I wouldn’t want listen to this if drinking gin or vodka.

[@craigmcnamee]

I do like YB a lot but with his and Yachty's quite young fanbases I have a hard time with this one. Being a British born 80's kid and teens in the 90's I absolutely adore the BritPop sound and nod's to Oasis and the Verve but lyrically yeah, it's really quite problematic.

[@bartonbagnes4605]

His vocals are nice, but I can't support these lyrics. Come and do drugs with him? Hard pass. Misery loves company, but it doesn't have to be me. And no you can't still get high, though you may still crave it. But you don't have a body at first for the chemicals to react on. And when you resurrect you will have a perfect body not susceptible to pain, poison or any other chemicals.

[@nicholasblue]

Great analysis, Rosalie. Love the music and the vibe, but the message was a lie. Be present; running and hiding from life is never the answer.

[@mimoleta]

I'm not advocating for drug use but the way you said you cannot function while on drugs or have a cohesive conversation with someone especially acid or shrooms shows me you don't know what you're talking about.

[@meatsite]

exactly what i was thinking. 💀💀
