Chance the Rapper released a music video for "Same Drugs" earlier today, and it was pretty awesome! I hope you enjoyed it, and I think you'll enjoy it even more once you take a step deeper into the meaning of the lyrics and the music video. And I can help you with that. This video is an explanation of Chance the Rapper's "Same Drugs" song's lyrics' meaning, as well as an explanation of the music video.
It's a pretty deep song, and it's crazy that it's not actually about drugs. In fact, it's about childhood friendships and growing up. The music video adds to this, but I'll just let my video up above start doing the talking. Let me know what you think and comment songs you want to hear me explain!

It has a double meaning. Chance used to do acid and lsd and now he just smokes cigarettes. It's a comparison to the quality of his relationships with people. Chance is a genius in his writing creating a lot of room for comprehension and understanding to the meanings in the unknown.

I knew this was about friendship & a childhood friend. This song reminded me of just that. My old childhood memories, friendships, family. This is my FAVORITE song from Coloring Book. Listen & sing to it all the time!

Could the puppets represent how everyone is a puppet for someone higher up and by not signing a record label and working for himself he's the only one that's not a puppet?

I thought this was a given, at the core the song is essentially about becoming different from who you used to be especially in comparison to your past relationships wth someone.

4 Years after the video released. 5 Years after the original song. This was one of the most breathtaking and hardest hitting song that Chance ever made. The Big Day may have been a terrible album, but I think Chance’s songs about his past always hurt my soul since it’s so relatable asf. I know nobody will read this, but this song hurt my soul. It’s unfortunate that when I was younger I didn’t try my hardest to be friends with my ‘Wendy’. Instead I acted like a wuss and unfortunately and this is the cost of all my actions. The connection that our relationship was now dead is the reason of me being “A shadow of what I once was.” I lost connection with ‘Wendy’ and now scarred for life….. I’m just praying for a second chance… We are all humans, we make mistakes, but is it too late to reconnect? The last three years have been tough man, instead of listening music because of the vibes, I know listen to it because of the deep connection it has with me. I just want a second chance…

I disagree that it's about childhood. That "you were always perfect, I was only practice" line cements it as a falling out of love song. Someone whose outgrown the other. I think all that Peter Pan stuff is him longing for the magic they had together that's long gone. Not really an expression of childhood.

Great video, enjoyed i a lot! However the noise reduction on your audio has a lot of issues, every single time there is a cut in the video you can hear some noise coming and going, its super distracting and thats a shame cause everything else about this video is awesome and i enjoyed it a lot! Would suggest doing something about it!

My daughter is dealing with a lot as she has entered adult life at 18. This song has me looking at all my children. It hurts seeing them leave. It is about Peter Pan.

Could you check out "Tree of life" by Funeral Suits? The band isn't really that popular but I'd be interested in hearing your view on the song and whether you like it or not. You don't actually have to do a video on it (though that would be awesome) but maybe just reply to my comment shortly :)

Peter Pan is dark sometimes but tbh it’s so meaningful Peter Pan is mostly about a boy who’s the savior for children he helps those who need it he does kill them sometimes but still Peter is so awesome tbh he’s always someone everyone has always been

Dude the content is quality, visually it looks good, but the noise spike at the start of each clip is so distracting and makes me not want to finish this video. I'm sure you applied an automatic noise reduction effect to the audio but it has to reanalyze on the start of every clip which is why there is a spike in noise before it does its magic. There are ways to avoid that. Please fix that.
