I watched this high at the height of depression during the pandemic and was in a dark room playing this on my projector. It felt like I was there with him the whole special. When he screamed "i said get the f**k up!!" I took that personally and got up and danced the rest of the song and the next day put my foot forward to change my life. He literally spoke to me through his own battle and man I hope it did thos for others. I'm in a much better place now. Thank you Bo. ❤

Watching this on drugs during a negative episode ON A PROJECTOR is definitely not how I would chose to experience this piece of media but hell I’m glad you got something good out of it. I watched this when I felt sort of ok-ish on my little computer screen and was like “welp, idk if I’m ever watching that again.” I did, but it was hard the first time.

@BillGD Год назад

The amazing thing about this is how well it stands alone, and how much harder it can hit in the context of his full special. It's right at the moment of hitting "rock bottom" and it's like he's pulling you under water to the 'depths' of his depression. Gives me chills every time. Also when he picks up the camera it's basically the first time the camera is really moving in the whole special, so it's especially jarring.

@omnivice14 Год назад

I think the sad part about that is that when I first watched his "Kanye Rant", the moment he said "thank you, I hope your happy", it actually hit me just how depressed and low he actually was. But then it also hit me that everyone was cheering, and it shocked me that no one else was actually hearing how broken he actually sounded. I think this isn't so much him dragging us in, but welcoming us into the place he's already been in. With COVID happening, quarentine, and so many people suddenly getting cut off from the outside world; all people have is the internet (that place where everyone knows everybody), but without that real human connection, depression is still a very real thing that takes place. So he it sounds more like he's telling us it's not so bad once you learn to accept that it's happening, and you move from there. Worry about what's important (namely yourself and those you immediately effect) and don't worry about the rest.

@SongwritingDeconstructed Год назад

it's also quite literal in that it's about experiencing panic attacks on stage - the water (stage) inviting you in saying it's fine and an instant you're drowning. All eyes are quite literally on him while he feels like he's dying. Are you feeling nervous, it's just begun - if you're someone that experiences panic attacks it hits so hard

@dannywareham2293 Год назад

I am convinced this is not him singing; it's his anxiety. The blue (depression) light, the "notice me, notice me" lyrics, the despair that nothing matters (rising oceans), the ending that feels like a panic attack. "Inside" is not about Covid (which he never mentions) - it's about being in his own head, listening to his inside voices...

@mistahj6597 Год назад

So.... it's him, got it

@elrojogrande744 5 месяцев назад

@mistahj6597 bo often uses color to differentiate different parts of his personality to make a point or focus on a specific part of himself. see left brain/right brain or the bit about making a sandwich drunk vs. high. its a specific part of his personality, not the whole. so not ""him"" thats the distinction the person youre responding to was trying to make.

@TTolland 3 месяца назад

Inside also plays on the metaphor of being "locked in" that room. He leaves the room at the end which represents him breaking through the anxiety

@tuckerreyeltsgng 2 месяца назад

This is one of my favorite comments ever

@GeirGunnarss Год назад

I always tear up at "You say the oceans rising like I give a shit. You say the whole world's ending, honey it already did" I have always felt that his use of the laugh track here is a jab at his audience who, no matter how heartfelt or serious his message was/is, would just laugh and not get it.

@Imbalanxd Год назад

I see the "like I give a shit" as a moment of honesty, that even though he believes in climate change and what its doing to the earth, he doesn't truly give a shit. Similarly we are his audience, and maybe we should have a moment of honesty and admit that we don't get it.

@ivankawnartist Год назад

@Imbalanxd I find that if that is an honest statement, that it's a defeated Bo who has given up on life and the world and the people around him. It's sad and a bad thing no matter how you spin it.

@ivankawnartist Год назад

It's similar to "Can't handle this." A lot of people laugh at burritos, but it's a metaphor for life, and how we can try to pack so much into it when it simply may not fit.

@SolDizZo Год назад

It's a catch 22, because he can't help himself in making it funny, even ironic funny. Here's my problem: seeing the funny is exactly how you transcend a hard situation. His problem is he was the only one stuck in his head, unable to laugh with the audience. This song is a reflection of his inner state of mind during a panic attack.

@iesika7387 Год назад

That use of the laugh track is too spot on, too. The thing that has hit me hardest in any of his performances was the moment in Can't Handle This when he said he should disregard his own mental health to just shut up and do his job, and everybody cheered because the lights and music came up. And that he knew the crowd would do that and clearly built it into the show.

@michellewest4796 Год назад

This is the climax of the special. The build up came to this song, and it's an experiance to watch the whole thing. It also mirrors a manic episode, with the last part, where he brings you to him and gives you a vertigo-inducing close up. That's another layer to "It's almost over, it's just begun" because there's only one song after this one. I see the "The ocean's rising, like I give a shit" and "The whole world's ending, honey, it already did" as compassion burnout. You can't do anything by yourself, and you can't get the world to help, so you're just drowning in the negativity of the world until you just CAN'T care anymore, there's no more energy to care about the world when you can't care about yourself. I'm glad to see you react to this, you get more out of the first watch than some people get out of their tenth rewatch. I'd like to see you do a full reaction of the entire special like you did for Hamilton, even if it's only available via patreon.

@TuxKamen Год назад

I sort of viewed the climax of this song, with him swinging the camera around like he did, as well as the lights going wild at the climax of "Can't Handle This" as reflecting his mental state, his way of showing what's going on in his head at those times, the chaos. I don't see a lot of people mentioning that, though, so I could be reading too much

@frankingy2008 Год назад

Thank you for mentioning the "come on get your fucking hands up!" That part always kills me because I agree it is a really mainstream rapper parody flow and is a perfect example of how Bo is able to make fun of genres while also making them dope in his own unique way.

@sunnythekitkat2651 Год назад

@Ragamuffin89 Год назад

I love that you reacted to this. It's an explanation/sequel to the Can't Handle This performance that led to him quitting for 5 years. He'd worked so hard on his mental health to get to the point where he was confident to start perform live again and then boom, covid happened and everyone was stuck Inside, hence the title of the Netflix special. ❤

@SongwritingDeconstructed Год назад

i just commented with similar sentiments. It's great that so many people are able to relate to this song through the lens of it being about depression, but it's actually incredibly specific and extremely literal lyricism. Having gone through a similar journey myself with agoraphobia and had big plans for 2020 being the year i got back out there...yeah, i relate to Inside on a level I don't think a lot of people do (and I'm honestly happy for that on their behalf because it's a nightmare living this way)

@beatty1229 7 месяцев назад

Correct

@RikFTK Год назад

I cried so hard when this song came up at the end of Inside when I first watched it. Loose from the special it's a very powerful and meaningful song, but in context of Inside, it's devestating, escpecially in combination with the scene that comes right after it.

@Call_Em_Yall Год назад

Same and I still do. Same with Can't Handle This. I swear only Bo can make you laugh and cry in the same special.

@donaldpaulson3920 Год назад

Also the laugh track in a serious moment was because it would happen all the time during his shows, he'd be profound and people would just keep laughing throughout everything

@ebreshea1337 Год назад

I mean, Bo put the punchline there, though. He said "not the best place to have them", which is severe understatement. I feel like a person with anxiety would laugh even harder than someone who doesn't understand that.

@Mahathemime89 Год назад

"then the funniest thing happened" also has a dark undertone when given this is nearly the last song of the special. He was ready to reenter society then he got stuck inside and made this special which is a descension into madness. So, he cant reenter because hes back to where he was 5 years ago because of the limited contact with people. Its like he gets out of the hole just to be pushed back into the hole.

@henrydyer303 Год назад

The line “got it good now get inside” could also be taken to mean get Inside, which is the title of this comedy special. The layering on this one line is crazy.

@beatty1229 7 месяцев назад

It’s like when you’re expressing something and releasing anxiety and then it’s like, “no, get back in your mind and suffer” Inside is being stuck inside your own head or in this world that others have manipulated

@erinw4935 16 дней назад

Yeah, I always like names that have more than one meaning, and you go into Inside thinking it's about the pandemic and being, y'know, inside. Which Bo sort of originally intended. But, Inside also refers to, I think, getting Inside Bo's mental state, which far too many fans had been trying to pry into, and Inside a general sort of idea of nihilism and depression beyond Bo's own mind.

@satoristeve Год назад

This is my favorite Bo song right now. There's objectively not very many lyrics at all, but yet it's got an incredible amount of depth that we all intuitively understand to some degree if we have the relevant context and subtext. This came out right at the height of the lockdowns, when the only place we *could* go was "where everybody knows everybody"-our own house. And we were all super-depressed and lacking that social connection like telling stories and jokes to a group of people you’re hanging out with, even if we didn’t have a laugh track to use as an artificial replacement. Also this is in some ways the intellectual sequel to Can't Handle This (Kanye Rant). The laugh track is part of that. Humans cross-culturally sometimes laugh in response to being psychologically distressed/uncomfortable. It's an instinct. At a comedy show with a live audience, the crowd is already mentally primed to react with laughter. So even though he writes all of these deeply vulnerable and personal things as jokes and he expects the laughter, I'd imagine sometimes it might still get in your head that people are laughing at your emotional distress. Maybe especially if you're prone to anxiety. It's so common a tool used in comedy that sometimes we don't even notice when we're in the audience and in the moment that we're laughing at things that aren't really things to laugh about. But it's a hell of a lot more obvious if it's just you sitting in your living room alone. Especially if there's a laugh track highlighting it for you.

@killwellrecords Год назад

the point in the special this song comes in at, and the point in the pandemic when this special came out, just add so many emotional layers to this one, it was like the zeitgeist of ominous heavy heartedness at the time - that being said I think this is my favorite reaction/breakdown to this song 💜

@thejerg Год назад

Wait. Wait. WAAAAIIIIT! I cannot count how many people I've watched react to this. How many times I've watched the special... And here you are, once again making a connection I haven't seen someone else pick up on... Inverting the chorus' meaning after the last verse. Both Bo and you are geniuses at what you do!

@FpowTheDeadFool Год назад

Please watch the entire Inside special! All of the videos are intensified with the flow of the entire special in a way that these individual breakdowns just can't capture on their own. Watching them all separately is like looking at a puzzle piece by piece, the greater picture cuts deeeeeeeeep.

@mastod0n1 Год назад

Inside is a masterpiece that I watched once around when it came out and I'm still not sure if I'm ready to watch it again. That's how much it impacted me. It really does cut deep.

@SongwritingDeconstructed Год назад

The song is about the beginning of his journey with agoraphobia after the first times he had panic attacks on stage (and I believe in Make Happy you can see he's having one at the end of the Kanye Rant. That deer in the headlights look and the way he RUNS offstage) - examine the lyrics through that lens. It's *incredibly* literal lyricism. 'You say the ocean's rising like i give a shit, you say the whole world's ending honey it already did'. If you're a regular with panic attacks you will FEEL that. You cannot care about anything beyond that moment and that moment stretches into infinity (and yes before anyone gets mad it DOES have that double meaning about wider depression and paralysis in the face of the awful inevitable but what is Bo if not a fucking master lyricist)

@PaladinNasicom Год назад

All Eyes On Me always bothered me in a way I couldn't articulate, and after your analysis I finally feel like I can understand the emotions and put words to them. I didn't expect that from a react channel, so thank you sincerely for the help.

@soccerwizard975 Год назад

I highly suggest simply watching his latest special on a LIve one day. Sequence matters here. I would also say catching up on his previous stuff to kinda get familiar with how he sees comedy. He doesn't see it like a stand-up artist once he starts his netflix stuff. He sees it like a theater performance and it only adds to his overall message.

@ellyraeken Год назад

it literally just hit me what i think “it’s almost over, it’s just begun” means. i think the “it’s almost over” can allude to his mental journey from 2015-2020 and ‘it’s just begun” alludes to the beginning of covid, where a lot of people’s mental health declined. so maybe, he built himself back up and finally almost healed, but then when covid hit, he felt like he was back at the beginning of his mental health journey.

@GatfordGames 9 месяцев назад

The moment when Bo grabs the camera was genuinely jarring on first watch. Especially when as the audience we spent so long static. Genuis.

@elijahmonture3180 Год назад

Also, so metaphorical, whether he intended all of it to be, or not.

@ramiroj.2381 Год назад

To me "go where everybody knows everybody" sounds like heaven. The way he speaks about the end of the world is consistent with another song in the special, and the get inside is a call to get with the programme, as if getting more people to agree with the defeatist idea would be a confirmation of his own notion, which comes from a depressed, nihilistic place. The song is a chant calling for adepts and/or a desperate last cry for attention.

@slapology3277 Год назад

I don’t know if anyone else mentioned this but this is also a very good representation of how depression and anxiety works. « Come on in, the water’s fine » - it’s easy and comforting as you know the feeling and why change? I don’t give a shit the ocean is rising and the world is ending, I’m inside my own head.

@peterlewis2178 Год назад

Something that hit me after several watches was the "we're going to go where everybody knows everybody" line. At first, it sounds like you're going out to a place where everyone's close with each other. But if you really think about it, where's the most common place where everybody really knows everyone else? At home, alone. If it's only you, you know everyone else.

@KnoxHill Год назад

Yea I take it as that’s the face value meaning for lockdown & Covid, but then he takes it a step further to the internet where everybody knows everyone’s business. What did we all do during lockdown? Go on our phones and computers while at home

@NoKingsNoGodsOnlyMan Год назад

yeah, isolation is a key way to mess people up... which was the point.

@ebreshea1337 Год назад

@@KnoxHill The internet is also the place where everybody knows better/more than everyone else. Or so they claim. For the first interpretation, I think there's also a reference to the "cheers" theme song, "Sometimes you wanna go / Where everybody knows your name" etc. Maybe a desire for a return to normalcy. Bars were one of the places most affected by the lockdown. Nearly every line can be interpreted in a multitude of ways, which means it can resonate with pretty much anyone. Even just the panic disorder interpretations can be approached from multiple angles.

@lizl2432 26 дней назад

I took “where gonna go where everybody knows everybody knows” like the anxiety … “all eyes on me” like everyone is looking at him and everyone knows his anxiety. When you have panic attacks it feels like when you’re in public everyone knows what’s in your head when they really don’t.

@atypicaloddity 2 месяца назад

The line 'go where everybody knows everybody' is, like you said, a reference to the theme song from Cheers. And he's singing about it at the end of his show while telling everyone to put their hands together: Cheers

@zachoxley Год назад

I always read "We're going to go where everybody knows" as we are all being led to our eventual grave (everyone knows we are all going to end up there). At this point of the special, it was getting toward the end of the mandated quarantine (unbeknownst to Bo) and that line is a clear indicator of the state of his mental decline during the quarantine. A heartbreaker of a song, but another Bo classic.

@SavannahSteel 28 дней назад

What I’ve learned from Bo is that he’s wonderful at disarming the audience before dropping an emotional time bomb on them. You see it time and time again with all of these specials. There’s always one song that’s overwhelmingly beautiful but also incredibly disarming.

@Tyndaal604 8 месяцев назад

The song does seem like somewhat of a surrender. In "Can't handle this" He tells the audience the metaphor of the burrito, making them laugh when he told them his struggle, In this song he's making an example of them with the laugh track because the audience would have laughed anyway even if he wasn't trying to be funny with a metaphor. Almost like both his woes and his jokes would land on deaf ears.

It's all about his mental state. In the beginning he is constantly questioning himself. Are you nervous, are you having fun. Then goes to tell you he was having panic attacks on stage. It's almost over, it's just begun. So he takes a 5 yr break. Decides its time to start again because he feels better. Then when he does. The cycle repeats. Mentally fighting trying to get through it.

@karaclaire412 Год назад

His struggle with panic attacks on stage while having all eyes on him - I can't imagine the discomfort he feels in that moment. In this video he makes sure to stare directly at us so we get a small taste of that discomfort through intense eye contact.

I was thinking of it as he wanted to go where everybody knows everybody else, as in Cheers like you said, just somewhere with lots of people and socializing. But then later he's saying the same thing, but talking about the inside of his home. Where everybody does know everybody there, because he's the only one there... That desire to be around others paired with the absolute isolation of quarantine.

I'm super excited to see Knox react to Goodbye by Bo, it's EASILY the most emotional song Bo has ever put out

@elbowguynn Год назад

gotta say, you're the one reactor that i've felt understands Bo and comedians more than anyone else. so much respect for that

@rileymorris8632 11 месяцев назад

the "come on in the water's fine" I feel like is hinting at his fear of re-entering society after quarantine, when he spent the 5 years prior improving his mental state enough to be ok with performing again only to be stuck in quarantine and get as bad, if not worse, than it was before he quit performing back in 2015 with "can't handle this"

So this song has meant so much to me since the special came out for a plethora of reasons. This special cane out after I had gone through agruably the hardest part in my life. My husband and I experienced a miscarriage, we lost our home, walked in on my brother in law overdosed in his home, I had to lose my college tuition in order to get approved for a loan we still ended up losing, and then my husband got diagnosed with cancer all within about a 3 month span of time. All while still dealing with the repercussions of COVID. So when this song came on during the end of the special I felt like Bo was literally speaking to my soul because I had finally felt heard. Someone else agreed that the world had already ended and we might as well just enjoy what we can. My husband had passed out on the couch while we were watching this and he woke up at the credits and I was literally just sobbing on the couch. I will forever love Bo for this special, it came at a moment in my life when I desperately needed it.

You’re missing out on not watching Inside. The placement of the songs and extra bits add so much to all of his songs.

@537monster Год назад

I’m pretty sure that “we’re going to go where everybody knows everybody” is heavily implying death. One of the main themes of the song is just extreme anxiety over the state of the world and our complete helplessness to stop what’s coming. So heaven. I’m assuming he’s saying we’re all going to die.

This song is supposed to be about depression. That’s the reason he has his voice an octave lower and only uses calm notes. Also he doesn’t say ”hands down”, he says “Heads down”. He made this song while he was depressed and his whole playlist is about him getting more and more depressed and going crazy.

i think that the blue light from welcome to the internet represents the internet. its the internet that connects him to his audience now, and he is asking what they think about him

The biggest praise for a song from an American must be "it sounds European." It is basically saying that this sounds different from the highly repetitive tropes in American media

@PalicoJack Год назад

The lyric was "Get your hands up" and then "put your heads down" to do a play off people worshiping in church

@lumbahrye 11 месяцев назад

Awesome breakdown. FIRST time I've heard this song right along with you. I see the "Get your hands up" as a surrender the second time around. Like "You tried to fight it, but you lost. Put your hands up."

@karizma8175 Год назад

I think we are at a renaissance of music right now. The lyrical genius and freedom independent artists have are reaching the masses, thanks to platforms like this. SM can be a positive, however it is also strong in spreading divide and promoting hate. Much love to all.

@kalen1702 Год назад

I love your thought process and vibe, man. Glad you're enjoying some Bo stuff. You really should watch the entire special because someone like you would deeply appreciate the art, messaging, and feeling it will give you.

When he says hands down and covers the light i agree it is an intepretation of him no longing wanting to be in the spotlight, but some light is shining through. So we can take it one of two ways, either A: He is trying to block the spot light but still scene, IE people still coming at him for his fame or B: He is blocking the majority of the spot light but still enjoys the few rays that gets through. Based on his previous anxiety disorder he spoke about but also his love to perform I would say B is a better option. He doesn't want this big spotlight/attention on him, but he does like some of the good that can shine through.

@Adjustvolume 11 месяцев назад

There is also the more likely option is that there is no meaning behind it, but he thought it looked cool lol and we are applying a bigger meaning to a piece of toast.

@RatingsFor Год назад

I'm not gonna say the line is this simple, but the first time I watched the special the "it's almost over, it's just begun" line to me referred to the special in general. This song was near the end of the special, it's like he's trying to sooth you because the special has been a lot.

@camcramer22 6 месяцев назад

Going to go where everybody knows has three different meaning throughout the song to me Meaning one at the beginning is a little harder to pin point, but I take it as just a comforting place where everyone is relaxed, like a comedy show. The second meaning, after he mentions the funny thing happening (covid), the place we are going everyone knows is their own home, as we were trapped there. The final meaning of we’re going to go where everybody knows is the afterlife. He mentions climate change, saying the world already ended, this changes the whole meaning of the song at the end, pray for me, as in trying to reach paradise in the afterlife.

I view the laugh tracks as another play on our lives moving digital. I view them as a metaphor for the likes/comments on socials rather than true in person interactions

@annalayland5308 Год назад

“Everybody knows, but, what do they know?” might be the most metal line I’ve heard in a while HOLY CRAP

@frankcanonico1036 Год назад

Amazing how many times I've heard this and never came close to that Interpretation of "where everybody knows." I guess Ren was right about nothing getting past you. If you're not too busy, the playoffs are about to start and the Leafs need a goalie.

@Speedy-gq8wm Год назад

Love your Bo reactions as always, Knox. Keep it up 👍

@Lenny-mt5ht Год назад

The baby 'reentering' thought made me think of the Zeit video by Rammstein. Which is amazing and poignant, but also weirdly appropriate to your thought process 😆

@hassanmawaldi7953 Год назад

I interpreted the get inside line as yeah there are outside problems and the world problems but first come inside yourself and heal your mental health

@victoriac4317 Год назад

It is so satisfying to watch you react to him. Because you analyze, you understand. Case and point; the reference to Can’t Handle This👌🏻

@somerotter Год назад

I also took “where everybody knows” as a Cheers reference, but a dark one - he’s alone in his room, gone where everybody knows his name, because no one but him is there.

@omarkallaste2041 10 месяцев назад

Much respect Fort Knox. As you brick by brick grinded that institution back to simple sand. What was before a prison is now a higher ground. A mountain called Knox Hill.

@SurlyHannah Год назад

idk I always thought "get your hands up" = get them off the keyboard "get on out of your seat" = stop just sitting there, doing nothing

@andybratton8226 Год назад

I absolutely need a job Bellion song preferably an acoustic version so you can see how much he gets into it and how passion he is about music

@lianakirsty Год назад

I always read the ending of the monologue as “you can’t slow it” he was talking about the pandemic and that we all have to get inside aka lockdown, we all know the place etc

@Lamp37820 Год назад

I'm pretty sure the line is "Heads down, pray for me, heads down now, pray for me. Get your fucking hands up" Gives the imagery of those super religious people praying. Heads down, hands up to the Lord.

@rollingtwenty2266 Год назад

The utter relief I feel of a reactor understanding the message of the song compared to others who would literally be like "What funny thing happened"... and they were reacting in like 2021...

@southpawYT Год назад

i was just snapping my fingers pointing at the screen going YES BABY YOU GET IT when you connected get inside=get online and stop trying. i think you're the only person i've seen reacting to Inside tracks who picked that up straight away.

I’m scared of Bo like he’s 6” 6 and he’s depressed like that’s a combo that I would never mess with.

@babyyodel3738 Год назад

I interpreted the everybody knows everybody line to mean heaven cause my grandma use to talk about how in heaven everyone will know everyone, and the lyrics right after are cleary biblical but bos an atheist so it is likley a metaphor for his fame like you were saying

@montyferguson4657 9 месяцев назад

Not going to slow it, heaven knows we tried reminds me of covid-19 2 weeks to slow the curve then he says got it good now get inside meaning you caught covid now get inside and quarantine.

@vesselthanatos3033 Год назад

i always read the climate change lines as being about depression. "you say the ocean's rising like i give a shit. you say the whole world's ending, honey it already did". his world is over, so why does the actual end of the world matter. it's easier to just be inside where nothing can hurt you anymore, because there's nothing to look forward to anymore
