I just discovered this playlist and I’m shook (Ik Ik I’m hella late to the party)! These analyses are great, and I love that you’ve brought up interpretations of the lyrics that I wouldn’t have initially thought of. Speaking of which, my initial reaction to the lyric “Walls feel like they ready to close in / I suffocate then catch my second wind” was that the walls, in this case, were the lady’s legs, and Kendrick… er… had his head between them. Basically, just an additional sexy lyric, but you’ve really made me think about how they could represent the music industry, as he’s been referencing to the entire album. Again, great video 😊
Echoing what everyone's saying: you deserve more subs for such comprehensive, palatable and engaging content. Fortune favours the industrious so stay on your purpose!
nah she loved him until she meets up with kendrick. thats kendricks reaction to his best friends death. hes using the killer’s girlfriend get back at his possible worst happening in his life
I usually stay away from the explanations, because every time I'll listen to the song and the meaning, it will forever feel different, so I just vibe to it for a little while then listen, but I always knew there was something off about the song, I love it so much but now that I see every thing that can x in this album, and in this song itself, I don't regret ever, saying Kendrick has been, and always will be my favorite artist
Bro its a song I always will either skip or just embrace as an introvert song. Then today before watching this video, I was listening this and this is what I come to see to my surprise. Then someone send me here My thought before I came here: These walls - mean a girl vagina, hence why he say pink interior and gold live inside of you (meaning he is inside of her and its feel good) Now previously before that he mentioned these wall being vacant for a minute- meaning she is 304/she have a man but still kick it with him, also it can mean her man just went to jail for killing his friend and less than a hour in a minute he is banging the killer girl for revenge. Also he hint the wall has kids and here for a good time not a long time, he also mention the wall cries whenever he is around, this can mean the girl is super into him and every time he hit that spot she squirt.
i subscribe to very few people, but your channel is incredible and these "to pimp a butterfly" videos are so great. Therefore im absolutely subscribing to you
Thank you for these amazing breakdowns and all the analysis. This song is a lot deeper than I initially understand. Hope this gains even more support, and if you could break down some of his other tracks like songs from gkmc that would be amazing.
