A First In My NF Journey... | NF- Let You Down REACTION (DonVon) 

It’s both… there’s a parent/father theme for sure, but he is talking about standing by and watching himself suffer instead of taking action also.🔥🖤🔥🖤

This track is highly metaphorical with many allegorical meanings. It's universally relatable with the lyrics that point towards parents letting down their children and vice versa with kids to parents. However, at the end, we see the older man and it shows a portion of the "Real" tattoo on his forearm. Then we hear, "Nathan." NF has that exact tattoo. My interpretation is that the older man is NF standing at the waters edge pondering about his past failures in his younger self. We see him standing there not helping younger Nate, because these are memories in his head and he can't literally rewind time and rescue his younger self from anxiety, depression, and the mistakes that made him into the man he is today (older).

Older Nate talking to younger Nate. This song is wayyy deeper than most people realize.

This song made my brain hurt

This song is him looking back on his life and realizing how he failed himself by not taking action sooner to fix himself

Remember this... in Intro2 Nate says 'telling all of my fans to WAKE UP... but feel like I haven't'... as he depicts himself as the older version of himself at the end of this video... taking responsibility for his own actions so he can forgive others... ? Whatchoo think... ;)

You may be the first reactor that figured the whole 'sins of the father' theme out on your own... and how these learned behavior cycles are hard to break without a lot of grace and inner-battles one goes through to conquer our fears in order to start a new generation of children who get to experience true freedom provided from a parent that made it through the 'fire' coming out more refined by it instead of giving in and just repeating their actions... PEACE ;)

I believe this song is 6 times platinum right now. NF!!!

Let you down went triple platinum he mentioned it in WHY, I remember riding to work in the passenger with my gf and I heard him on the radio and I started crying. The first song I ever heard was this thing called love. I was struggling with EVERY relationship I had. Parents, siblings, friends. Everything. He wasn't very popular, so watching him be in the radio so fast was like a "yes boi get your air time get your voice out there speak to this generation" everything he says is everything I think but never say and he even mentions that literal line in a song. The relation is out of this world, and every time I feel crippling lonely I remember I'm not because THIS DUDE exists somewhere speaking facts 24/7

When I heard it I thought it was like a relationship song until I seen the video, but it could mean a lot of things

In the 1st scene where he was drowning representing represents him drowning and sorrow and him watching himself as years went by and did nothing the 2nd scene where hes burning in the car represents his anger and him watching himself after years pass and hes done nothing

I believe it is Nathan, as his future self, talking to his current self... like current Nate talked to his younger self. GREAT reaction!!!

I don't know where/if "no excuses" falls on your journey but make sure you check that one out. 👊🏿👊🏿

Its symbolizing him and how he is worried he is going to become his dad, cause he doesnt know how to be a father

The pitching voice is NF himself but recorded in that mode. You got yourself a new subscriber.

The old man in the video is NF when he's older, at the end you can hear his wife call him....

NF is Legendary..Another great NF reaction!

It's both

This song reminds me of my daughters relationship 😢

Bro I have the song as my ringtone right now and when it started it scared the ever loving crap out of me

NF is the old man. Elderly NF is dying or allowing his old self to die which is a core tenet in Christianity. In a way the elderly NF is a father to his old self that still resides in his mind or flesh, it started with him. Nathan has to put to death his old self in order to put on his new self… Colossians 3:5-11: "Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator."

Yes, I believe the older man is NF throughout this video..........

I feel like it's his own perspective like he's singing it to his old self maybe? because she calls him Nate at the end and that's his name?Great reaction tho bro new fan here 💪🏽

🔥🔥💯💯 Reaction NFrealmusic 💯💯, you called it early!!

to me the track is 100% about dad. video is about himself.

You should react to “Mansion”-NF

Wow you got it!! I’ve watched so many reactors whiff. Great job!!

Need to listen to lie by nf

Nice take on the song DonVon. As many have said NF has a dual meaning with this song and video.
