I just realized the “heavy competition” is referencing past videos: - A bone-a-fide director (sloppy jarnt) - A garbage inspector (work hard play hard) - A dinner plate collector (to do bricks) - A slime dissector and a talking swamp rat who loves to call and chit chat (everything can be a little better) FUCK I love every single thing going on with this channel so much
uh, do you have an appointment Make a PowerPoint That's a perfect case in point Of something we could do together If we were bestest friends forever Before you say your counterpoint And my thoughts become disjoint-t-t-t-ted-d-d-d There's a couple more things to consider (oh- oh-) Maybe talk about it over dinner Because I skipped lunch And then I took quite the punch So I went to skip town But I let myself down Because I missed my train and there was only me to blame But now I think I'm glad I came cause there's a playdate underway, and oh, I- I think I want to, I really want to, I really think I want to play it cool I think I wanna take you to my house And tell you all my secrets To finally prove that I'm a genius Did you know that one day my house is gonna finally fall down And I'll be in it And now I wade into the bullshit, uh oh oh Hey. Now that we're best friends, do you wanna comb my hair? Or we could do what best friends do and show each other our nightmares Slow down, they'll hear your heart pound (DON'T FORGET TO LOOK FOR A COMMON LINK!) Don't sweat, oh, where were we at? In the attic, perfect, we're spring cleaning, broom tag teaming, Hey, uh, I've been meaning to uh- Show me what you do Show me point of view Point your view at me when I am S-I-N-G-I-N-G Just make the music sound good You're so good at being good at.. Uh oh, you're fucking it up You're good at taking good things and just fucking them up No best friend for no good freak! (NO BEST FRIEND FOR NO GOOD FREAK!) Play pretend week after week!

(YOU'LL ALWAYS WIN IF YOU) Don't even try I think I wanna take you to my house And tell you all my secrets To finally prove that I'm a genius Did you know that one day my house is gonna finally fall down And I'll be in it And now I wade into the bullshit, uh oh oh I think I wanna take you to my house And tell you all my secrets To finally prove that I'm a genius Did you know that one day my house is gonna finally fall down And I'll be in it And now I wade into the bullshit, uh oooooooooooooohh...!!!!! stop i loved your audition you have got ambition you'd make a great addition but there's heavy competition there's a bonafide director a garbage inspector a dinnerplate collector there's even a slime dissector there's a talking swamp rat who loves to call and chit chat but it is pretty clear that you don't know shit about that. THIS NIGHTMARE CONTRAPTION HAS NO ROOM FOR DISTRACTIONS! IT'S ONE AND ONLY ACTION SHOULD BE PRODUCT EXTRACTION I'VE SEEN EVERYTHING I'M SURE NOW SO LET'S QUIT WASTING TIME FEEL FREE TO FIND YOUR OWN HOUSE BUT THIS ONE, IT IS MINE I'M A SOLO CHEERLEADER, I MADE THIS HOUSE A HOME AND I DON'T WANT ANY VISITORS I'LL DIE IN HERE ALONE......!!! MAKE A POWERPOINT THAT'S A PERFECT CASE IN POINT OF SOMETHING WE WILL NEVER DO TOGETHER I ALREADY DID IT BY MYSELF
the fact that the red haired contestant had the task to file their taxes and their immediate reaction is to grab soap and pour all over the documents and go “😄👍” is killing me I love them
I really like all the references to previous videos In the first verse there’s this line: "Because I missed my train And there was only me to blame” Which is obviously the a reference to the opening of “everything I own” “I’m gonna miss my train It’s not until tomorrow But I need to be prepared for when there’s No one else to blame” Then at the the end, they list off a series of characters, which are all references to previous videos: “There’s a bona fide director” Reference to sloppy jarnt, which shows a film director at the end "A garbage inspector” Pretty sure that’s a reference to the TikTok “what’s for dinner” “A dinner-plate collector” This line is more clear, it’s a reference to “To Do Bricks” which has a set of magical plates "There’s even a slime dissector” I think that’s a reference to “I’m at the beach today, which has Drive45 playing with slime "There’s a Talking swamp rat Who loves to call and chit-chat” That’s a more obvious reference to "everything can be a little better” which has a swamp rat named Curtis the Coypu who calls in Drive45’s hotline and talks for way too long
Drive45 helped me through the worst depressive period of my entire life. I’m not someone who ever says “your music saved my life”, but quite literally I wouldn’t be alive today if it weren’t for Drive45. They didn’t necessarily save me lol, but they absolutely showed me a different side of music and, by-proxy, a different side of life. I will forever be grateful for that❤️
I can relate so much with this, they inspire me, I often get stuck in depression and forget about my hobbies and stop having interests, but after I watch and listen to drive45 I just get so much inspiration, and I get the motivation to work on making music again
I’m taking a stab in the 75% dark and guessing this song is about like, a scientist trying to make friends, but being disappointed because nobody can match their intelligence, and eventually giving up and becoming a loner
@@misterbrick4276 tbh i think this *is* trying to find a deeper narrative/lore in it, the face value analysis would be more like "what happened and how it made you feel"
I think it's about an egotistical person who sabotages all their relationships so there's nothing in the way of how they see themselves. like how he gives the girls tasks but then gives them all the wrong things to do them on purpose
I always took it as someone having difficulty relating to their peers around them, his expectations and self-doubt causing a rift between both parties. In a group project, where you have to make a powerpoint, both parties need to work together, when one doesn't meet halfway then it might as well have been done by one person. ''IT'S ONE AND ONLY ACTION SHOULD BE PRODUCT EXTRACTION'' His mind is only there to make his music, he thinks. Instead of letting someone into his house, he retreats into his mind/house, convincing it's all he needs as he's been in there as long as he's been alive despite still wanting connection. He ends up doing the powerpoint himself.
this really captures the pull-and-push of desperately needing and rejecting connection. a great video to watch while experiencing Mental Health. genuinely think drive45 is one of the most astonishing artistic geniuses of this decade.
I was listening to weezer and machine girl and found this in my recommended, i dont know who this is but Im feeling strong gender envy This dude is giving off the exact energy i want to have
I've been waiting a while for someone to take this whole "quirky internetpop" sound and just go full Cardiacs/Max Tundra mode with it. I imagine this is what Renaldo and the Loaf would sound like if they grew up in the internet age.
I don't know if you read comments at all but your work always find a way of resonating with me! I will forever be grateful for the content you put out!
I think this song is about a heavily obsessed young boy longing to become best friends with his favorite TV stars and celebrities. But as he doesn’t get what he wants, he starts to pretend to be the TV celebrities. Soon, he works up the courage to talk to the stars, but he knows he’ll never become best friends with them.
