i feel like this song stems around someone who deals with paranoia. they know their fears are irrational, but yet their brain still goes into overdrive over trivial or nonexistent things.
I’m dying Slowly Extremely rude and immature. As a person who struggles from anxiety, I found this highly offensive. If you got nothing good to say don’t say it.
Sounds like walking through a busy city at 9:00 pm. Traffic clogging up the road, people walking by, chattering happily. You walk into a pizza place and eat by yourself. You go home alone, feeling slightly wistful for the past.
If you enjoy putting stories to songs I sugest you listen to the band 'Artic Monkeys' their older music,is just honestly very **city** if that maxkes sense
Honestly I always thought the first part of the song where it addresses someone as “you” was a metaphor for depersonalization, but now that I think about it, the lyrics “ease your breath, untie my hands, release my neck if you can” makes me think of psych ward employees restraining a paranoid patient. But as the song continues, you realize the singer is trying and failing to explain that they’re harmless and just irrational, yet nobody at the psych ward believes them.
This music gives me a feeling that no other music can. It's just so beautiful, and in a weird way this song just describes my feelings precisely. I wish more music was like this.
I was singing this before I went into class and we we're being let it, and a music teacher heard me sing the part "putting drugs inside my water" and he just kept staring at me lmao. XD
I deal with paranoia and anxiety. I feel like death is always coming for me no matter what. Sometimes I lock myself in my room cuz that’s the only place I feel kinda safe. My family worry’s about me but that only makes me feel worse because the go through so much trouble just to make sure that I have a good day. I hope that I could get over this soon.
As a person with extreme paranoia disorders, this really hits home. People try to convince me I’m fine, but I always feel like I’m in danger and I’d rather dig out my own skin than leave the relative safety of my tightly locked room
I understand this song is about paranoia but as someone with anxiety, I also really relate to this song. It's scary actually, how much it describes me perfectly.
Olliedafailure 108 it feels more like it's about paranoia and social anxiety and that is very much my department haha am I right mental illness funny mental illness cool ooga booga
Experiencing this right now, I can't leave my room bc I thought I saw someone in my hallway and now I cant go eat dinner ha ha haaaaaaa I hate my mind.
Don’t you just love finding the lord of music on earth and then whilst looking for depressing tunes you find a video from three years ago that is just the right amount of sad and calm? Just me?
I always worry so much about every little thing and over think it. Like, “oh, look it’s a normal person just walking. What if they want to hurt me..?” This song made me feel more normal and validated.
i know this is about someone with paranoia and possibly hallucinations, but i correlate it with my anxiety. i feel like someone is always trying to set me up to embarrass me. it's hard to trust people. i feel like my friends get annoyed when i talk about it, too. idk. just a thought.
(Yo I aint blue in this comment k) Ok I havent listened to cavetown in so long I used to be literally obsessed with cavetown but then I stopped listening to him because I listened to it when I was in a really bad place and just didnt want to be reminded of it but like ugh this song is so calming i think im gonna listen to this dude again hes fucking great
Ok so it has a similar "base line" or chord progression to lemon boy. Think about it. Lemons are plants, which can die of poison. In my theory, this is a sequel to lemon boy in some way, almost dealing with the grief and fear.
Top hats, fedoras and bowler hat wearing beings are a common theme in hallucinations and that kind of thing. I don't know why I needed to say that, I just did
I think the song talks about anxiety, when you feel like everyone is against you or that bad things are going to happen, but you know their just irrational thoughts. But at the same time you think it can't be irrational because it feels so real. The first part where it says "ease your breath, release my neck" it could be refering to the grip anxiety has on you and how it tenses you up.
*this is about him getting help since dealing with anxiety, I guess mental homes? And people treating him differently which later comes 10 feet tall and 888*
this is so underrated? Dude I just discovered Cavetown about twenty minutes ago and I'm now obsessed and this is like second best song so far 1K bazilton
This song kinda describes paranoia, the part about "poison in my food, drugs in my water" and "theres cars coming closer and i think they're trying to run me over"
I keep finding amazing songs by you and jejejrjjssjjd I love them all so much. Thank you for bringing some good music into this age of rap and pop music that all sounds the same. You’ve inspired me to pick up music again and finally enjoy it. Thank you.
I know this probably isn't what the song's about, but I relate to it a lot by interpretating it this way. It makes me think of when there was someone in my life who was unintentionally abusive and the aftermath with my trauma, and certain things making me stressed/scared because of it
why do I feel like one point of the song is about pollution? when he says "the cars are coming closer and I think theyre tryna run me over, poisoning my food and putting drugs inside my water, theres ghosts inside my house and I can taste blood in my mouth" maybe the ghosts part is supposed to be about smoke? idk
This is such a good song and the lyrics r so good and theyre times perfectly and the audio is great and the background is aesthetically pleasing thank u so much lol
I just clicked on this song because I was bored but the lyrics started coming and I got this look on my face and I stg I must’ve looked so funny... So yeah I heavily relate to the underlying paranoia in this song and I don’t know how to feel about that? 😅 Anyways great song
to be honest, his songs seriously give everyone a vibe. it sends goosbumps down my body just of how relaxing, yet vibe this is. his song "green" seriously made me cry. I suggest anyone who hasn't listening to it should, because it talks about your body. (also, can't stand the fact there is a song called "Flaming Hot Cheetos" on my list ;))
as a person with major anxiety and (luckily manageable) paranoira, I feel like this song is about someone with paranoic thoughts and they know that its itrrantiol but theu just can't stop it.
