1) the outfit Tyler is wearing closely resembles the outfit the main character wears in All My Sons, the play the band got its name from 2) Tyler has confirmed that this song is about a really bad panic attack he's had on college 3) every time he dodges, it represents an album. The half-dodge at the beginning is Self-Titled, then Vessel, Blurryface, and Trench dodge to the left, then SAI dodges to the right, then Clancy doesn't dodge and the car has to dodge him 4) oh yeah they've been repeating shots, like a fairly local shot in overcompensate and now the heavydirtysoul and car Radio shots here
@@LucasDZuritafor 1) Google bros outfit it's literally the same For 3) I mean, one dodge per album, going the other way only for the sai, and ending wearing the dang Clancy mask...it seems clear to me
Yep, that's one of the first things my 11 yo pointed out as we watched the debut. To further the analogy, Tyler is literally singing about getting out of the way, off the road, out of the headlights (spotlight) because the car (fears, insecurities, isms) is coming at him so fast. Each time defaulting in the same direction, then trying the other way as SAI was a 'diversion' or an attempt at something completely different (the sound primarily). I find a lot of Ride in this one ,too. Shielding your eyes from the spotlight. I see it as each attempt at healing, getting better at it every time 😉 An escapee. And now Clancy is going to face the problems head on! ❤|-/💛
Very old school garage punk. I’m also curious to see if the few notes at the very beginning of the video, before the song starts, is the end of another song from the album.
I think it’s the same song actually. It’s because he’s playing the episode over and over again in his mind because that’s what people with anxiety do. You remember something bad and keep going back stressing over it again again.
You are, HANDS DOWN, my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE reactor to this EPIC BAND!! I literally have tears STREAMING down my face with this one! This song hit on a different level for me; there's NO WORDS! LOVE THESE BØYS!!! ❤❤❤
I am as a fan of TØP happy with your reaction video to TØP, you don't just react to the video but you also understand the theory that relates one TØP song to another.
i'm so glad i discovered your channel right before their new album's release!! i've spent the last few weeks enjoying all your tøp reactions, it's so awesome to watch someone become a fan and to be able to discover all the songs over again! your insights on the lyrics are always on point and your joy is contagious, thank you for your work 🙏
I love you !!! You are so good at reacting to TØP ❤ I love it when you take the time to pause the video and explain the meaning of it all. Thank you so much! Also, by the way, why did you call them 'Cucumbers 'are back again?. 😂I'm curious..
Yesss 🥳 been waiting for your reaction ever since the song got released ^^ Really glad you enjoyed the song. Thank you for dissecting the lyrics, for sharing your thoughts. Always a pleasure to hear you explaining your thought processes. So yeah, thanks for taking the time to truly listen to the song, pausing it, thinking about everything and sharing your interpretation with us. Tøp tier reaction (haha ^^). Hope you're having a good day 🙌🏻
Thanks for this great reaction video…it gave new meaning to this song, for me. At first all I could hear/see was the desperation in Tyler and it really bummed me out to think of him going thru those dark days 🥺 But you were seeing his growth & his sharing of the wisdom with the youth. That’s hopeful and beautiful 💞 Love the fast rockin garage punk band sound contrasted w/the ukulele and soft ‘woah woahs’ at the end ❤💛
Tyler did confirm a music video for all the songs on the album and they'll all be released by May 17 - so by the date the album releases, we will know the entire story (most of the remaining will all be released that day)
The release date got pushed back a week..... It's now releasing on.... Oh, I wanna say the 24th?! They needed just a Little🤏more time to finish all the music vids for this album, and weren't gonna make it without extending the release date. But, only one week, so... Not too much more of a wait! 💜
See how he went left (his own way) few times, then he went ✨THE RIGHT✨ way one time and then he is back on his own way with Clancy mask and with more confidence. It is about his albums. The Scaled and Icy was "the right way" as it was more radio friendly and popy, but it wasn't how he wanted, it was about what the masses wanted 💁🏻♀️ And now he is back on the trackt with creating the things that he loves the most 🎉
A few songs reference headlights. One is Fake You Out - "in the night, headlights call my name." Then in this video, one of the flyers on the wall in the club has more lyrics from FyO, "Our brains are sick but that's ok!"
Also while this song isn't lore related, one theory is that Clancy/Tyler is being completely taken over by Blurryface while Clancy is infiltrating the bishops. The fact that the black paint has spread further than ever in this video could be a potential easter egg alluding to that
Great dive into this song. I love it so much for the underground punk feel it has. I really appreciate your take on the youth being full of heart and passion. As an parent with 4 kids from 19-29 yrs old I see the passion they have and I miss it so much. I think this is why I "get" TOP'S music(and other bands)to my core. I need that passion and fire for life and maybe we all do because it's the reminder that there are still things to look forward to. Also as a bonus if you screw up you can start fresh next semester. Sorry about being long winded, lol ^_^
Great reaction! The opening vibe I got from this song was the punk rock of the 70's like The Ramones. But, of course, TOP changes it up. The connection to HeavyDirtySoul seemed obvious to me, but you took that deeper -- thanks for that. Once again, Tyler uses the symbol of a car to represent his journey.
Fil, do watch the 'Behind the Scenes' vid to this track. Your reaction to any TOP song is, knowledgeable, insightful and joyous to watch. It's a shame that parcel i sent to you didn't arrive it had a Ned in it.... #QcumberSquad #TOP - Fil, I'm off back to the study
OMGosh, SAME..... like, literally ALL DANG DAY, EVERYDAY....! I CAN'T get enough; this one hits different with me, though.... On a very personal and all too relatable level!! ❤️🩹❤️🩹
Sounds like punk rock also. As others said, this song is based on true events in Tyler's past. Also listen to the vocal track only (without music), you'll hear more clearly what is hidden in the backtrack. (or pull the lyrics). There's more lyrics behind. Also I've seen men sniffle when they hear this song. The certain part makes people very emotional, no matter the gender. Tyler's voice depicting the emotion, you can hear it means something to him. BTW, the crowd is gathered of true TØP fans. This song is basically going back to roots, to Tyler's college times and Blurryface. You got the main message right, nice reaction! Loved that you remembered Car radio (the similar scenery). Not everyone notices the details.
The fact that rhis song is about an actual experience of Tyler's from back in college, when he had a panic attack and wound up in the road in front of an oncoming car hits real close to home for me. Back in high school, there were many times I found myself walking in the middle of the road, hoping to be taken out by someone not paying attention..
did tyler say this? i’ve been a fan since vessel released and i never heard this from him, very interested and makes me view the video and song different!
@@luke-tx4zx I've yet to be told anything to the contrary, and have been told by several people that follow them more closely than I when I had asked, that Tyler confirmed it during the video shoot
@@luke-tx4zx from what seems to be the absolutely accurate account from Tyler (per people that were in the video,) is that it's about panic attacks in college. So many people have taken that comment, this video and some lyrics from past songs and insist that it means 100% that Tyler attempted to take his own life. Is it possible, of course. It just frustrates me that so many people are treating it like he straight up said that that's what happened.
Ok this song is so weird for me. A few months ago I had a mental breakdown that caused me to run in the middle of the road at 2 am, and every time I saw a car, I didn’t run at it, but I hoped it would hit me and I could be done, and the chorus of the song is literally what was going through my brain at that time. I ended up in the psych ward for a week after that, and am doing much better now, but this song just takes me back and not in a good way
Hey phil you need to react to the song Deathbed by Relient k! It’s an 11 minute long story and it’s beautiful poetry. It doesn’t have a music video so just find the audio, but the story it tells fills your mind more than any video could
1) the outfit Tyler is wearing closely resembles the outfit the main character wears in All My Sons, the play the band got its name from

I'd challenge 1) and 3), they both seem like huge stretches without much evidence.

Spot on with albums
the outfit is an old school uniform hence “i remember certain things, what i was wearing” about the college he was going to
I have been waiting for your reaction. You always give such a perfect, informed analysis of every aspect of the art. you GET it. Thank you so much!
Very old school garage punk. I’m also curious to see if the few notes at the very beginning of the video, before the song starts, is the end of another song from the album.
What another song? 😮
@@JoaquinDanielSifuentesRivera¿
That’s unrelated to the album, the song before Next Semester is Overcompensate, which has already been released.
I think it’s the same song actually. It’s because he’s playing the episode over and over again in his mind because that’s what people with anxiety do. You remember something bad and keep going back stressing over it again again.
now we know what song it is ;)
You are, HANDS DOWN, my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE reactor to this EPIC BAND!!
I literally have tears STREAMING down my face with this one!
This song hit on a different level for me; there's NO WORDS!

i love the new behind the scenes video they released for this song today. cool to see tyler teaching the crowd the song.
Wonderful, insightful reaction and great words of wisdom! Can't wait to see TØP in concert with my daughters
I love you !!! You are so good at reacting to TØP ❤

I'll have to find the video where all that started... 😂

Finally ! I was SO waiting for your reaction !!
You are the best reactor! I love the detail of analysis you do, along with words of wisdom. Such interesting observations. Thank you!
I never connected Goner with this one and I definitely see the connection. Thanks!
I’ve been waiting for this! Such a great reaction and breakdown. It was as wise and insightful as the song itself. Thanks!
Been waiting for this reaction, it definitely didn't disappoint! Imagine how good this song will be live!

Great breakdown! This album so far is shaping up to be my favorite. This song is so darn good! It also gives me early 80s punk vibes.
Man..ive been waiting on this so bad! Fil you never disappoint, i love how much you just get them ❤

You NEED to do the line by twenty one pilots 😅
I feel like this whole album is Tyler backsliding but I keep being hopeful that its the lore and not him 😢
was here 🥒
I read the title in a different context😂my dislike has turned into a like
listen lad, i really don't mind you stopping in the song, BUT PLEASE NOT IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERSE MAN
