Is it just me or does it sound like he's singing about depersonalisation? Its where you feel disconeccted from the rest of the world and everything feels different or like you're not really there in the moment, kind of like you're viewing it from an outsiders perspective or you feel like you're dreaming. It sounds like he wants to be able to fully experience the moment rather than being spaced out all the time and he wants to know "what its like outside". It could be different but that's how I view it
I think its dissociation, but you've got the right idea! I personally think it shows robbie stuck in a bubble, trying to become normal by breaking out but he can't until now😍 I lov this gu-
At his Missouri concert, someone had a seizure and he just stopped everything and say on the edge of the stage until the kid was wheeled out. Robbie is my favorite person on this earth
It’s like the “Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off” music video but in heaven. I love everything about it, i want to live in this video.
x1.25 is literally how it feels to have a panic attack while trying to figure out what your mind is telling you x2 is an anime theme song x0.5 is literally a nightmare
i think its a introvert realising how far and isolated they've become and the abyss they were sinking it like hes inside a telescope watching everyone else hence why at the end when Robbie wakes up looking for a way out and at the end he brakes his bubble i guess like he's trying to change. i got the same feeling from ghost boys even him looking at himself and realising how happy he was before introversion this causes his to wake up.
One of the best things about Cavetown is his multi-creativity. He obviously makes the most amazing song but then pairs it with masterpieces like this video. Edit: shoutouts to the people that made this happen. Couldn’t have been possible without them, I’m sure.
I’ll figure out tonight, what it is I need to do Fabricate a lie, and lay it back to you In my head it’s only letters Make it make sense to make it better (Music) Mmm Mmm Mmm (Verse 2) It’s a perfect time to put my money in my mouth Chew it up and spit it directly on the ground Make some plans I’ll never get to, Shake some hands at the venue (Music break) Mmm Mmm Mmm (Chorus) Sittin’ in a telescope Silently with his fingers entwined He puts his hand to the glass “What’s it like outside?” (Whats it like outside?) (Whats it like outside?) (Verse 3) Through the winds it’s dark, single digit on the clock Singing “yessiree I sure like you a lot” All I need is to get her She’ll be happy if you let her (Music) Mmm Mmm Mmm (Chorus) Sittin’ in a telescope Silently with his fingers entwined He puts his hand to the glass “What’s it like outside?” Mmm “Ooh, What’s it like outside?”
Please never stop making music, you've helped hold my world together for almost 2 years now and I've only met you once but it was magical getting to see your performance and then hug you after. A night I'll never forget. You're music is truly inspiring. ❤
Me: *cries from music video and lyrics Also me: *finally calms down after 30 minutes Robbie: (in the description) “I would personally die for each and every one of you” Me: ......*begins to cry once again Edit: I rarely do edits but I mean....I have 888 likes how could I not
Hey Robbie, I just wanted to say how great your music is. I know you probably won't read this and it will never emerge in the sea of oncoming comments, but you're amazing. Your songs are great, and overall you're a great person. I went to your STL concert, and, I'm not going to lie, I cried. Your songs are so inspiring and they really helped me get through a difficult part of life. You're a cool dude.
This song reminds me of getting out of bed after sleeping in for 4 days and after ratting pizza and crap food. And playing my ps4 . Then I finally open my bedroom door
Honestly, this song is so good- like hecc Robbie is a freaking genius, the video is just so brilliant, the contrast of him as a baby and then SEEING HIM THIS FAR - I’m dead Robbie you got all my heart
guess who burst into tears? it's me. i always start to cry when i hear: "all i need is to get her, she'll be happy if you let her " " what's it like outside?" 💔⭐ luv u robbie, good boy it's masterpiece ❤️
Seriously seeing the look in Robin's eyes makes me actually see the same person who has been making music and videos all these years, unbelievable to see this guy and who he is and where he's at now💔 I literally Cried at the end! It was just so powerful!! Like he was almost screaming to get "outside" of this bubble that always contained him, and seeing the childhood images was heartbreaking because i'm sure we can all relate with time going to fast and missing being a kid, Bless you Robbie for being the light and the reason to keep going for so Many people!!♡ i love you my guy ;w;
Did I wake up from an anxiety attack like five hours before I always get up? Yes. Was this all caused because of a nightmare? Unfortunately, yes. Is this the first thing I went to to calm down? Yes. Oh well, I will just have to suck it up. Thank you Cavetown for making music that people can listen to. Others can listen if they are a case with a much better reason to be panicked. Sorry for rambling, I have waited enough of anyone's time who has read this, and I apologize. I guess I just needed to ramble. I love you all💙 Stay safe no matter what is happening.
robbie, you’re a blessing in my and so many else’s lives. thank you for sharing your music. personally, life kinda beat me down and broke my body and mind to the point of me kinda planning to stop it,. but you’re music picked me back up at a real murky time and gave me a lil something to hang on to. so i know my tiny voice doesn’t mean much, but all of these people love you and you’ve saved some:) thank you robbie. we love you and owe you so much.
robin is aware of everything around him but he feels powerless to do anything, like watching people through a telescope. in the end, he breaks free. The fish bowl being taken off is symbolic for his release
I want to share with you the fact that I've understood that you speak Spanish just because you used the word rare=strange. I know you don't care but I wanted to tell you lol
SITTING IN A TELESCOPE SILENTLY WITH HIS FINGERS ENTWINED HE PUTS HIS HAND TO THE GLASS "WHAT'S IT LIKE OUTSIDE?" *screaming and crying bc this is so beautiful."
Honestly this is such an amazing song and it’s hard to pick a favourite Cavetown song because they’re all so good. I even showed it to my sister and she’s really picky when in comes to music, and she liked it. So its safe to say my plan to convert her into a Cavetown fan is in progress.
@@riona3296 ahh- then that's why I haven't heard it. I don't have an apple phone or Spotify. Thank you btw! Have a good evening/day, wherever you are friend :)
dear robbie, thank you for saving me. you made me feel safe. you helped me find myself in a dark tunnel that i was stuck in. i appreciate your music and you as a person. and from the bottom of my heart i love you for all that you are. keep making music please. 💓
After watching this video like 300 times, I only Just noticed, ...that near the end, when Robbie puts his hand on the glass....that, someone on the other side....does the same!....this really IS an amazing video!.....
robbie- thank you so much for your art. i can relate to your music and especially this song very strongly. i have some really tough health stuff going on that has made me lose most of my friends and feel extremely isolated emotionally and physically. this conveys that very well. you have both inspired me as a writer and your music has helped me get through a lot. you’re an angel, and you’re so loved. thank you again.
I found you years ago from a twenty one pilots cover, and stayed because your original music is so cool! Not only that, but I always agreed with your chats, and have been so conflicted in my own personality. I never knew why your music resonated with me so well, but recently, I’ve also discovered that I’m aromantic, which is a term I first heard when you mentioned it. Robbie, you’re such an inspiration to me, and I really hope for the best to your career!
Ahh this is my favorite song!! I was having a rough night and this may sound weird but even one good thing happening can have a huge effect on my mood and state and this IS SUCH A GOOD THING OMG!! Thank you for this!!
