    I love some good story telling. Especially how there are so many ways to interpret them. Either he is watching a younger version of himself, or maybe that whole time it was his father, and when its revealed at the end that the old man is Nathan, its NFs way of explaining his fear of becoming his father. He wants to be present and be a positive role model for his own kids, and he fears letting them down. Great song and video.

      I think it's more like he is afraid of letting himself down
      He is afraid of being sad and depressed, locking himself inside a cage with the keys in his hand!
      We can see this clearly in Hope when he watches the same old version of himself inside the mansion

      @@mohameda.elemary3342 I too see it as letting himself down. Ngl I hate and love this song. It makes me just depressed bc I think Abt the 4 yrs of highschool I spent alone, the only thing driving me forward my passion for soccer. To hopefully get recruited by college coaches and have that moment of signing the contract Infront of Alot of plp. I know it's selfish but I just always wanted to feel special and be someone important. But as the years went my coach kind of ruined how things went with his shit tactics. He was never a soccer coach in the first place, he was a football coach . And senior year, the worst year of my life, basically everything I worked for just for it to be a huge let down, and it was my other 2 fellow seniors on the team who signed a contract Infront of hundreds of people, while I was there watching, painfully screaming inside, replaying this song. I don't really feel suicidal but at that moment I just wanted to leave forever.

      Great insight Nate S. I think it is intended to be both, he might even say "parent", but if you listen to Nate from The Search he feels like he let himself down and that becomes clearer in Hope because it definitely is the old Nate in the cell. The version of Nate that stayed trapped in the cage he built himself even though he has the keys. That is pretty clear. But, I know Nate has says he likes to leave things open for interpretation, and your theory is amazing. Nice one.

    It's crazy from the perspective of someone who knows nothing about videography.
    Watching your videos points out all these camera tracks and the tone they set scene by scene simply with the camera work and how it plays into the story.
    It's something that I personally never noticed, and would've never thought about. However, once pointed out I can easily see how the entire visuals could be changed without them. Fantastic videos. Innovative, and eye opening.

  • @ArkAddikt
    @ArkAddikt Рік тому +2

    This is a continuation of his story, here he is looking back as an old man, watching a part of himself die. Its good to note that this is the NF in all black in the video. In his recent video Hope, (great reaction to that), NF opens a room to find this man, in a cage, which is representing another video, Outcast. the juxtaposition of Let you Down and Outcast my have a deeper meaning. Here I feel NF is seeing his darker self die maybe, but still arises in his later life in Hope. love the reactions, new fave channel :)

    I noticed you watched Hope before Let You Down but im not sure if you caught it but the man in the cage of Hope is the same man in Let You Down here. Then him being in the cage is part of the Perception album, Outcast music video.
    ps. I was apart of the Motto video and it was such a great experience. I'm the one he put his feet up on my shoulder, I'm on the left (when watching the video). It was truly a great experience meeting Nate and getting the chance to talk to him. For me, the coolest part of it all was just being on a set which was my first time ever, and just seeing how hard he works on his projects and how involved he is in the process. I don't know if every artist is like this or what, but Nate is something special . He's also directing too with how he wants things done too. His director he's used for 20 to 21 videos, Patrick Tohill, he's the mastermind behind his videos.

    The moment when he opens the casket and is sad, yet he could have saved him when he was drowning/burning in the car. That part just gets me deep in my feels, looking at the perspective of parent and son, parents want to say they did everything for you, everything to save you, yet they are shocked when you fail. And the at the end it's Nathan (NF), showing his fear of becoming his father
