[@whiteshirt9074]

I feel like the most underappreciated line is "If we can break through the ceiling above us, there's no point in looking below." Like this one line both signifies the potential of wealth being put in front of others wellbeing, and is a Segway into the songs 'inner meaning.'

[@techpriest6962]

I can see how you view it this way, though only by looking below us can human appreciate what they have. Looking up creates greed and anger.

[@killerd54]

That is my favorite part about this video, everyone that broke through the ceiling looked up and went up too, the couple watching TV, wall street business men, the rebel looked up and the cop looked down.

[@killerd54]

However the cop was the only one who kept his kingship, because he was the only one to look below and stay below, he is a king, a bad king.

[@1mol831]

What if we all seek the bottom of the pit, maybe breaking the floor will get us below the abyss and outside the whelm? Break through the floor below us, there is no point listening to what's above us??

[@neowolf09]

If we can learn to rule ourselves, then there's no need to look down on anyone else, because we will all be kings of ourselves and our own lives. It seems very anarchism/anarcho-libertarianism. At least that's my take. Could be my own bias.

The song is about the balance of power in our world, and how easily we fall in pursuit of that power. The brainwashed get dragged back under the spell once woken, the politician must cannibalize himself and his own beliefs to survive, the businessmen only has so much time before he too is toppled, the police can commit acts of savagery for as long as the people allow him, and the rebels can be free only as long as they are willing to die for their cause. Only those who do not chase power, truly have it. If you never seek to get "on top" you'll find yourself already there.

I know I am a little late here but did anyone else notice that the only group in harmony is the triangle people and they are also the only group that starts and ends with the same king. The business men have to throw each other down to get their crowns and it is always short lived, the anarchist has his crown only when he is about to martyr himself, the cop has his crown only when he brutalized the anarchist which is implied that it does not end well due to everyone video taping it, the guy and girl have crowns when they escape tv cthulhu but are immediately recaptured, and the politicians are clones literally eating each other to get the crown. Meanwhile the pyramid heads are passively observing everything. Their king had no conflict to get his crown and no one attempts to take it. They are literally the only people in this story at peace and in harmony with each other.

[@Ronushi-33]

I think the crown does not represents "leadership" or to be literally a king; in the video, some of the given scenarios doesn't even have anything to do with "ruling" over other people, it has to do with being "successful" and maybe "free" and the subjective nocion of success and freedom that each of the characters have. For example, the buisness man climbing the pyramid is a clear methaphor for the merithocracy model: "work hard and you'll be successful", "work harder than anyone else to stand out among others", we have this utopia in wich we think that only those who struggle the most will be rewarded with recognition, will be worthy of a crown. And maybe you get to stand for some time at the end of the pyramid but... then what? Probably sooner or later you'll come across someone who's just better than you, or has "worked more and harder", and again, then what? It is an ilussional sense of poupose. Returning to the conception of success, while the rebel found a sense of accomplishment in fighting against that oppression in the sake of freedom, that search lead him to use violence, and that violence met more violence. In the other hand, the cop "succeeded" through the exessive use of violence and oppression, and total impunity was granted to him (no one did nothing, just filmed him while he beated the sh*it out the guy with the hoodie). I think the most unfortunate scenario was the one with the "swimmers", imo, they were the only ones who embraced true sense of success, they found true freedom by getting to swim up to the surface of that uncertain and absorbent realm that is media and TV. They stared at eachother and probably found the notion of The Other, true connection between people. Although it didn't last long. They were soon dragged down again to the dephts of ignorance. In the minwhile the politicians are eating eachother, i don't have much to say about it, i think it's all pretty obvious, they are just visible faces, power figures, deep down they're all the same. No politician has ever looked into the roots of society's true problems. They triumph over eachother by blaming eachother, talking about faults in the other model instead of dedicating that time to actually try to improve things. That's the hate speech. The media loves to show us a lot of sensationalist press to keep us interested. They show us violence, all kinds of cathastrophes and scandalous situations. They show us people against other people. The hate speech works because we love to see our own hate projected and represented in figures of power, and thats why we choose those figures. And behind all that is this supposed group of people that makes it easier for this great machinery to continue to work perfectly. Witnessing how we fall over and over again, making the same mistakes again and again..

A system with the sole purpose of motivating you to work harder and strive for higher positions. But it's all a shroud to keep the wheel turning. The work to become better is what runs the process.

Right?! Maybe he was trying to become a martyr. "We could be free! We could be free!" Everyone capturing his death on their phones definitely conveys that he got media attention, even if the people on their phones were framing Goliath/the officer as the "King"/hero...although (I could be reading too far into this) the shadows the people are casting on the ground at 1:18 kinda look like they're trapping the officer in a cage. Maybe that could be indicative of their intentions to expose him and knock that crown off his head? That would mean the martyr succeeded...

[@drumaholik13]

Definitely. History shows that without strong leaders, the world falls apart. I think this video is saying that if these leaders become too self interested and power hungry, they'll do more harm than good. History shows that good leaders need to balance smart decision making with the compassion to do what's right for their people.

Well, I see your point in the imagery, but the fact is police aren't that bad. They are just normal people that usually obey the law. Its ironic, but so are civilians. Weird, huh? Think about this.

Most of the time, people join the police to help and do some good in the world. Now, if you look at statistics on how many cops have been outed as being corrupt and compare it with how many people have been outed as criminals(both of these in the past 10 years for a large sample group) you'll see that police have lower rates of criminal activity than civilians. A martyr is someone killed for their beliefs. What was the hooded guy's belief? That the police are corrupted? So, the logical answer to that is we should break the law and assault them. But wait, there's more. Most logical people would perceive this so called "martyr" as a criminal, while the cop was acting in self defense. Who cast the first stone? The red hood guy. Why was there fire everywhere? Because people like the red hood guy cause cause with vigilantism. This is why we have a code of law that police and civilians alike have to follow. Instead of having martyrs and rebellions against the mostly uncorrupt police force, maybe we should pass laws to single out the select few police that are actually corrupt. Placing the blame on a group is wrong. Kind of like if I blame Black people for all drug problems or White people for all racism, punishing everyone will only cause resentment and more problems. Anyways, sorry if I misunderstood you or anything. I perceived that message as anti-blue.

Morale of the story: The crown is useless

[@KingKamidereSama]

+Caleb Cali moral of the story: society is fucked up and those in power will stay in power unless we do something but we never will because we're just as brainwashed as everyone else I'm pretty sure and that the right people never get the crown; the real crown is those who decide who gets it. I wouldn't say the crown is useless- the only ones we'll ever be able to achieve are though. There isn't an illuminati that we can prove- but society's definitely brainwashed and that's a fact. Positive overtones negative undertones? Everyone acts happy but inside is hurting. Now society's Negative overtones and positive undertones that only fuel the negative ones, all of a sudden everyone's hurting and inside they are the opposite and just force themselves into pain without opening their eyes. Both times we were blind. Now and then. That's the only thing that stays the same really. The illuminati is us... we, the people. The ones who put themselves into these horrible situations without thinking for a damn second if you consume yourself you're not going to get twice as big you just die. That's the illuminati if I've ever seen one.

[@leatcanned]

don't forget the second part. Those with the power to put themselves in power will do so. rarely do they ever do so for anyones empowerment or to help anyone but themselves.

[@dirtyshirt2821]

The real crown is the one you cannot see but you feel and know it's there... There is materialistic what we see like in the video. There is another that none other compare to. The beings or people that feel the need to wear materials for stature are the true brainwashed individuals as it's tied to greed. Remove your physical crown and develop the spiritual one, it is the richest... 🕉️ ☯️ Notice how the Illuminati still had a physical crown.....

[@alexgeorge5476]

wrong, the moral of the story is that you are never truly in power unless you have the ability to overthrow any opponent or defeat and rival in the past present or future.

Clearly, everyone in this comment section have their own thoughts. But here are mine, divided: The Policeman / Hooded figure For me, it is a clear notion of the fact that people who show their disagreement become completely silenced by the brutal forces of the government. Meanwhile, others do little about it and crave nought but recognition and fame on media by sharing it. The Octopus This creatures has screens all over it and takes control of humans. I see the octopus as our society and technology. We are fed by propaganda, information and half-truths. We sit behind our televisions and devices looking st others suffering. It is entertaining and encapsulating dor some reason. The Crowns First, i wasnt sure what they meant. They had no apparent correlation. But then i realised, thats the point. Every person has their own individual goals, their own set of problems. The crown doesnt mean leadership over all, it means king of your world.

[@emuse9587]

probably the most meaningful song I've heard in a long time.

[@AdopteunTrump]

The song “Kings” by Tribe Society is a powerful anthem of emancipation and liberation. The lyrics evoke a journey towards freedom from social constraints and personal limitations. The opening lines, “Running with all my brothers / I always wondered how far we could go,” reveal a sense of camaraderie and collective ambition. The idea of breaking through the ceiling symbolizes overcoming barriers and reaching new heights, both metaphorically and literally. This sets the tone for a story of struggle for freedom and personal fulfillment. The recurring theme of freedom is emphasized throughout the song. Lyrics like "We will continue to be free, we will continue to be free / Finally, we will continue to be free" emphasize a desire for liberation from various forms of oppression and suffering. The mention of “darkest caves and suffering” and “a hundred steps to the end of the road” paints a vivid picture of the struggles he faced throughout the journey. Despite these difficulties, the protagonist remains optimistic, as stated "Painted with passion, my favorite color / I hope to be alive when the story is old". This suggests that passion and hope are the driving forces in his quest for freedom. The chorus, “I'm not at home, it's home I'm going / I close my eyes to see / I will take my throne, I will place it on a mountain / And I will make myself king”, sums up the essence of the song. It evokes the idea of creating your own destiny and finding a place to belong. The act of “making yourself king” is a metaphor for empowerment and taking control of your life. The repetition of “whoa-oh-oh” adds a triumphant, celebratory tone, reinforcing the message of self-liberation. The song ends with a powerful declaration of liberation from envelopes and chains, symbolizing the ultimate achievement of freedom and self-sovereignty. Lyrics layers
