okay hear me out, ive been breaking this song down for days and heres my interpretation of it: the first verse is in the perspective of matt. he's saying that mr. rattlebone makes him feel better while also harming him physically. he brings him peace while also destroying him. the chorus is saying that mr. rattlebone(a personification of his addiction since being on drugs makes you emaciated) haunts him and has seen his darkest moments. the second verse is in the perspective of mr. rattlebone and is saying that hes now going to take over matts life and be a burden on him but at the same time put his pain at ease. the outro says "i am the driver" as in "i am in control." "i am the shadow" as in "i am the darkness that constantly follows you." "i am the hearse" as in "i control when/where/how you die." it can be argued that as the outro goes on it shifts from mr. rattlebone speaking to matt speaking, but thats fully debatable.
@@linalea04 only comment I have, apart from this being amazing, is that I do think the ending shifts from Mr. Rattlebones to Matt, as you can faintly hear it change from "I am the hearse" to "I'm in the hearse". Then the very last line is both Rattle and Matt, in my mind, singing together
You're like the calmest Slit to my neck Bring me in closer Spruce up my soul and you fill it with coal Then you douse it in lava Chained to my desk Beckoning nausea Desperately chosen from a crowd of one and I, I Call me Mr. Rattlebone Holy Ghost who haunts your home They don't know you like I know you Call me Mr. Rattlebone That's right Fuck all the drama I'll be your muse Now take what I offer Straight up the nose down the throat It's a bearable bruise on your conscious But don't it feel good? Don't you feel calmer I am the way and the life in the best looking truth Oh, oh, oh, oh Call me Mr. Rattlebone Holy Ghost who haunts your home They don't know you like I know you Call me Mr. Rattlebone I am the driver, I am the shadow, and I am the hearse I am the driver, I am the shadow, and I am the hearse I am the driver, I am the shadow, and I am the hearse I am the driver, I am the shadow, and I am the hearse I am the driver, I am the shadow, and I am the hearse I am the driver, I am the shadow, and I'm in the hearse I am the driver, I am the shadow, and I'm in the hearse I am the driver, I am the shadow, and I am the hearse
Thank for lyrics y yes I'd rather die alone. No harm to anyone, yet these times are dangerous God forbid you speak up for others' those who claim to be evangelists are drunk on hate and will kill, so be it. Never wanting to be a martyr means to an end.
This is the only thing curing my depression atm. It's hard to believe life is beautiful after all that happened, and yet there it is, present all along just waiting to be seen and felt. Thank you for all your songs, my heart goes out to you.
Life will get better you just have to be strong if you let it change you to a monster or you have truly lost, every thing happens for a reason and bad things make you stronger it will get better you just have to feel proud that you got through it all after and still be able to love yourself and think of yourself as a good person I hope anyone that read this far has a good day and can look back and think about this f*cked up thing we call life (:
MrMoonwalkingBear Unfortunately sarcasm doesn't translate well over comments on RU-vid videos. In the case that this isn't sarcasm, however, I urge you to reconsider what you just said lmao
Ive just discovered and listened to all of your music on RU-vid. I have to say I'm AMAZED at your musical talent, your passion, and your voice. This is real music with meaning you know? I'm just in awe of you Matt M. Keep it up.
I still think Matt maeson is highly underrated... Seriously, people just don't appreciate amazing music anymore. Keep it up Matt and I'll keep listening 😊
HAHAHAHA i've never related to a comment so much so here it is [Intro] Call me "Mr. Rattlebone" Call me "Mr. Rattlebone" Call me "Mr. Rattlebone" Call me "Mr. Rattlebone" [Verse 1] You're like the calmest slit to my neck Bring me in closer Spruce up my soul and you fill it with coal then you douse it in lava Chained to my desk Beckoning nausea Desperately chosen from a crowd of one, and I-I? [Chorus] Call me "Mr. Rattlebone" Holy Ghost who haunts your home They don't know you like I know Call me "Mr. Rattlebone" [Verse 2] That's right, "fuck all the drama," I'll be your muse Now, take what I offer Straight up the nose, down the throat, it's a bearable bruise on your conscience But don't it feel good? Don't you feel calmer? I am the way and the life in the best looking truth Oh, oh, oh, oh
I keep coming back here expecting to see millions and millions of views, but it still hasn't happened. Why are so many people sleeping on this dude? Nobody on today's top 40 charts even comes close to the kind of talent Matt Maeson has.
I just had an awful day, a bunch of pent up feelings finally exploded out of me. Driving about to this at night, and shouting my heart out to the last minute of the song is a form of emotion and relief I can't even begin to describe. I felt like demonds inside of me were being exorcised with each shout. Thank you for making this song.
Fuck. I just love you man. I haven't found a song I didn't love of yours. The emotion in your voice just takes me somewhere else. You're gunna be huge.
Don't know how this ONLY 2 million views. This is pain turned into music in it's purest form, amazing. Granted this is just the audio and I think the video has way more.
I've just started seeing a therapist and it's made me feel even crazier in the head. They make me feel like I'm normal but if only they heard my thoughts 24/7 they'd know something isn't right. I just wish I could put into words how my own shadow seems to consume me
this part always hits me hard because i have grown up around people i cared about who have died from drugs "that's right, fuck all the drama, i'll be your muse, now take what i offer, straight up the nose down the throat its a bearable bruise on your consonance, but don't it feel good, don't you feel calmer, i am the way in the life and the best looking truth"
I hate when I fall asleep to early and wake up in the middle of the night. I hate waking up in general if I don't have an immediate objective or something to distract me. I always can't help but think about everyone and everything I've lost throughout time and all the amazing memories I share with people I'll never see again. My heart hurts, I feel like I'm losing myself even though I never knew who that was to begin with. The only way to cope is blasting my playlist with a stiff drink and strong joint and even then it just hits harder once that runs out and I realize I'm still in the exact same spot.

Coming from an X opiate addict......this song goes for miles threw my head.....the drug knows you better than yourself....unless you can see yourself out of it...i am the driver i am the shadow and i AM THE HURSE
The words you come up with absolutely give me goosebumps... Cliffy is prob my ABSOLUTELY FAV.. Cuz I BET MY LIFE on U... Goosebumps and power... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE how creatively you express exactly what you want to show the people who understand and those how dont... That is saying God bet his life on you on me on all of us.. I need you to stop torturing yourself. Who said you had any responsibility for anyone else? Easier said than done tho. I dont care if u use anything that I say, but I believe the people who use drugs are the sensitive souls. The ones who can not handle all of the hurt going on in the world I believe were or are angels and I have said this for years. Then I watch the show THE OA! I love Green Mile, he is so sensitive, good natured, and he is HURTING CONSTANTLY! I only dont understand why when he passes on the gift of a VERY VERY LONG LIFE (if U CALL THAT A GIFT), why he does PASS ON HIS GIFT! Maybe he cant! One thing I believe EVERYONE NEEDS TO LEARN IS THAT God does say in the Lord' Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us".. Somewhere else in the bible it is basically said that how can you ask to be forgiven if u cant forgive.. We need to learn to forgive others and ourselves.. I know it can be hard, especially a person who killed or hurt someone u love. If we want to be forgiven we have to forgive as well. Holding on to anger or even something negative, is like holding poison in your mouth. U ingest or swallow more and more is absorbed in your mouth. It makes us sick and suffer the longer we hold on to this. Forgiveness does not mean u allow them to continue to use or hurt u. It does not mean u have to continue to talk to them or even see them, and u dont have to even tell them so. It simply means you let go of the anger from it, and you release it from your boday. I think we all forget 1 VERY VITAL PART OF THIS: We dont forgive OURSELVES! Thats the hardest thing to do, but it causes anger at ourselves, self hatred, makes us doubt and question ourselves and can keep us from growing and moving forward. It actually can limit us from moving forward or make us slide of fall backwards or paralyze us from chasing our dreams along with forming relationships or forming good or positive relationship or from forming relationships at all...
Top of the skull chills with this little ditty. Those ones are my favorite for some reason. Hmm sounds like something written while under the influence of I'm thinking shroomies? It's a stunner beginning to end. I came for the bone rattling, stayed for the song and come back again and again for those top of the skull chills. They are divine. 💜💀💚💀💜
I listen to you all the time, I’m so happy that I found you on here! I prefer your music over anything on the radio or trending! You’re incredibly talented ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

My god this is beautiful, thank you for being you, who created this. You have a beautiful voice, the transition between notes in “rattlebone” was wonderful. You have made something special here and I thank you again for that. 👍🏻
