Teachers are teaching you how to live within the system, how to get to a desired result so that that result can be pointed to as a statistic that will result in funding. Higher education is the place where you are taught to learn and a lot of kids have problems with thinking for themselves because of their experience of previous schooling. "Teachers" in higher education are facilitators that provide a frame work for your own further education.
@@Flesharrower Yep. As a teacher at the high school level, I need my kids to learn a narrow band of stuff to regurgitate onto a test, or I get fired. I let the kids know that, that I'm supposed to be training them to regurgitate the narrative our society wants from them, and I try to teach them stuff beyond that, but it doesn't change the need to play the game. Blame state boards of education, and politicians who have turned up the role of schools as centers of indoctrination and acculturation for our kids. Most of us get into the field because we're passionate about something, but that doesn't keep us from being tools of a society that wants to turn kids into obedient drones.
this song is not exactly about teachers you find in schools. it's about how society is as a whole in this age of information. the line "teacher, teacher, self-proclaimed preacher" sums up the whole song really well. so really, it's no about teachers at all. it's more about people who spew "facts" they read while lacking actual experience.
The main message of the lyrics is not to believe everything you're told, or to always buy into what you're raised to believe. Basically, the song is about learning to think for yourself and make your own decisions about what is right and what is wrong. Plus, it's just a kick-ass song!
Don't be shy - pull up the lyrics so you can follow along..... Eventually, after a few songs - you'll be able to hear the lyrics..... You build an ear for it! #jinjerarmy #jinjer
Yeah, reading the lyrics is really helpful when you first dive into metal with distorted vocals. Even now after listening to it for years there's still times I can't understand all the lyrics in a song, but after reading them I can clearly hear it and it seems odd I wasn't able to pick it up to begin with.
I am a teacher and I like that song and that message is right as well as your opinions! And yes, this is not only about tachers in school but about all these other people wo want to teach you their own ideology to make you do as they like. So, no offense taken at all! 😁👍
Jinjer has said that this song is about not just blindly following authority. They used a school as a metaphor, but the idea applies to any authority because you might end up following fools.
One of the team is very focused on the lyrics and the meaning while the other member of the team is into the music and melody. That's what makes you a great team!
So much fun...I watched this twice! ✌🔥 "Just Another" or "Scissors" for some early stuff, "Pit of Consciousness" live in Kiev or the official video is a banger, "Retrospection" for some love your parents vibes or "Home Back" to watch Jinjer address some real world problems and melt our faces off. Your pick...can't go wrong with any of their songs!
I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see your reaction at the end. So worth it. You two make me smile. I truly enjoy watching your reactions. Keep it up.
This band became my favorite band with the first month of listening to all their songs in December of 2019. They don’t have a single bad song. Plus they have a new album dropping this yr hopefully soon.
Thats when I discovered them as well and within a month they became my favorite also. And I agree there isnt one bad Jinjer song and they all are unique and different sounding.
@@ultratality haha the algorithm tried to convince me but I figured anything that it kept pushing at me that much wouldn't be something I'd like. Especially with the Pisces thumbnail haha.
@@j.f.fisher5318 Lol it brought it up cuz I just started to get into Unleash the Archers and Arch Enemy. That was brought up on my timeline cuz all the new slipknot music videos that were coming out at the time.
I didn't even get into them until after the covid lockdown.... I was watching stuff like alien Weaponry and the hu... pisces live session kept coming up as suggested. So I finally gave it a go. Now, quick background of my musical taste.... love death metal, blackened death metal and black metal... barrage of blast beats and growl vocals start to finish. So when Tatiana dropped her growls after the snare rim shots....holy heck, I was mesmerized. I jumped head first into the Jinjer rabbit hole ever since. I still listen to death, blackened death and black metal, but Jinjer has been on HEAVY rotation for several months
@@BradAndLex you both are my new favorite! I have loved metal all my life and watching you "get" the instrumentals as speaking is awesome. Brad is still figuring it out but he's getting there 😂 it's a great balance with his focus on the lyrics. I spent many years not even knowing what many if my favorite songs were truly about but I knew what the instruments spoke to me. ML&R
I saw Jinjer in Denver Colorado in September of 2019.. they opened their set with Teacher Teacher! I bought tickets to see them again.. But, Covid happened... Supposed to be back in Denver this November.. I've since moved to Arizona.. I'm flying break to Denver to see them there... Yes, they are that good! Amazing live band!
I’ve been a metal head my whole life and honestly seeing people react this way to metal as someone new to this genre.. man makes me remember being that younger man once feeing the music hot harder. I appreciate y’all. ALSO my friend get that girl to a metal show! She’s feeling it! 🤘🏼
First of all! This is the most interesting reaction channel of them all, for me, as a Norwegian 50 year old metalhead, for many reasons. You are real! To watch Lex discover metal and how her eyes lit up, her smile and energy. Fantastic to watch. To watch and listen to Brad really trying to understand what is going on are amasing too. For me, when growing up with the new wave of brithish heavy metal in late 70 and early 80s and the evolution into thrash and death metal coming out of San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York and follow up with scandinavian Black metal in the early 90s towards todays music scene with Jinjer, Spiritbox and a lot of other incredible bands. You two have a crasy lot of interesting metal bands to get into, and I cant wait to watch it. I love you both :)
I love how you caught how the lyrics and music compliment each other, I think this is one of Jinjer's best examples of doing that. Which to me compounds their strength as a group, Tati knowing how to compliment the instruments and the instruments on how to compliment Tati. They are all incredible and I am glad to see ya'll enjoying them. This is my favorite track from them hands down with a close second being "I Speak Astronomy", ya'll NEED to check that song out.
Love how Lex is just loving Jinjer! You must continue this journey down the Jinjer rabbit hole, you won't regret it. You should pull up the lyrics though. It's uncanny how clearly you you'll hear the lyrics being sung.
Can’t wait until you guys watch JINGER’s - “Home Back & Captain Clock Live” Don’t see or look first Come in blind we will know!!! She’s not yet unleashed the vocal beast 🎶🎧✌️
Oh nice! Teacher Teacher is one of my favorite songs. If you want to see an absolutely incredible and impressive live performance, i recommend JINJER - Pit of Consciousness (Live in Kiev) as your next Jinjner reaction :)
The solution to not understanding the songs is simple. Have the lyrics pulled up on your phone or other device to glance at while you’re watching the video. You’ll get so much more out of the songs and also see that Tatiana is not just a great vocalist and mesmerizing front of the band, but a gifted writer as well.
It’s been so long Sense any music hits like there’s does. It’s bringing back days from 80s when hair bands where dropping new stuff. It’s exciting again
""Good evening, kids. Take your seats. Open up your Bibles I’m gonna chastise a rival so keep your eyes wide open The young soul lost control, made her first faul This is my duty to set the bounds She grabbed my hand, took me in, placed me in front of a class She gave a hint I was the clou of her mass I’m in the middle of her Holy of Holies, I have no worries! I saw dusty icons on the walls I saw needles and stones So she put a paper bag on my head She pointed finger at me, and then she said: Dear Lord, forgive me as I’m slapping this sinful child By your hand I’m led so I will show what is wrong and what is right Choose your label cuz I’m mercy, merciful Put your knuckles on the table, meet my friend Ferule Who’ll punish you! When their prejudice let us down We stand firmly on our ground Don’t let their school make a fool of you Because the teachers may be fools too Laws chalked on a blackboard Can’t be erased until it gets boring The lady spoke and then she choked On the convictions oh so alluring She made a pause in her verbal overdose My paper bag slipped down on the floor I took a look around, there was no sanctuary Desks empty, the school was all imaginary Teacher, teacher! Self-proclaimed preacher Under the flag of welfare your lectures start to blare! We need no soap shoved down our throats So keep your monologues unrated and remote I am a bad example of order This life is not a prison and you are not a warden Please, teacher teacher! Leave us alone As we accept life lessons from no one Your idols scream to me throwing shame on my face As I turn away from infamy and disgrace I smile to you, cuz I want you to see How I break the rules in front of your trinity
brad & lex i think it would be cool if you did a post song breakdown of the lyrics. because this song is deep asf and i know the talk about the lyrics would have been interesting
@@CrazyIrishmen7 yeah these reaction videos are content driven inclusive environments. I've been noticing some of the same people across multiple channels as well. And that's really cool.
I love watching new Jinjer fans being born! I'm subbing just for that! After a few more reactions - I highly suggest their Live in Melbourne show - it's available on their UA-cam channel!
Since it's too late to get tickets for their LA show in October..I will be at home... and put on their entire Melbourne concert on my TV. Sadly, I don't have the funds for going to their Sacramento or San Diego shows.
This is the song a lot of lyrics can be picked up and I Speak Astronomy OMV would be a really good one too and it’s one of the best videos production wise I’ve seen.Like to see you two do Tools song Lateralus
For the next Jinjer song? Now I watched you a couple of times,.. I guess "Home Back" could be a good one, an anti-war song (there still is civil war in their hometown), if you like live songs, definitely try "On the Top" or "Pit of Consciousness" (both from Kiev), if you want to feel good, try "Just Another", if you want to make another journey, try " I Speak Astronomy". Then again, if you want to get to the deeper problems of our time, you may experience an angry Mother Nature in "Ape" and a pissed-off Mother Nature in "The Prophecy" (both official videos). Well, that`sat least part of the buffet! Enjoy! 😁🤘
Home Back is powerful. And brutal as befits the subject matter of their hometown getting caught in the war. Tatiana says it "isn't getting bombed anymore" now that there is a ceasefire but no end in sight unless Ukraine accepts Russia's demand to turn eastern Ukraine into a puppet state.
Oh guys, and don't forget "who's gonna be the one", where, like in home back, we can hear the lowest levels in Tatiana's growls.. 🙂 plus, Lex, you can also enjoy some reggae, Jinjer style..
Mad respect for Tatiana because her diction during singing is great and English is NOT her natural language, its a learned second or third language! Amazing
Great reaction again! I also had interesting philosophy teacher in university. He study himself Hegel and Kant. So when the philosophy history class came to those two he was telling us to only read it from certain book, because in his opinion other books were wrong. 😅
I can't wait until you guys start reacting to Slayer and Amon Amarth and stuff! Lex jumps feet first into every one of these and her energy is honestly infectious IMO & I love how Brad always tries to hear the lyrics inside the music and I know from experience the more you focus on the words the easier it is to understand people when they growl/scream in general, I compare it to trying to understand someone with a really strong accent, the more you listen the more you hear 👍❤️
It’s not over till lead singer Femme Fatale Tatiana Shmailyuk gets the WALL OF DEATH!!!! Wait what, the drummer is using “DOUBLE BUTTED STICKS “meaning there is no tip-end of the drum stick, nice!!
You both are very correct people. It is extremely refreshing to whitness genuine minds like yours in this world of fake shit. I love both of you. Keep on vibing to good music. If you want more jinjer then pls listen to "home back" and " who is gonna be the one". If you want older tracks from jinjer. " scissors" and "exposed as a liar". Those are my 4 favourit songs. Greetings from Austria
Great reaction! Please check out Who Is Going To Be The One or I Speak Astrology next. Brad you can always pull the lyrics up while watching the video or before to get an idea on what the song is about.
That wall of death at the end of the video takes me back to some great Amon Amarth shows lol bound to break something or come out bleeding but when you're caught in the moment it's complete catharsis
You made an amazing point! Knowing the lyrics do help appreciate the music. Metal in general has aggressive emotions, which aren't always a bad thing. Great videos!
I love that personal Halloween story, it what makes me wan't to watch reaction videos like this - I am happy I pushed the subscribe button before watching this one :)
New Jinjer! They dropped the first video for their new album on the 17th (the album will be released August 27th), check it out: Vortex (official video) ua-cam.com/video/AiaOSGZTwtY/v-deo.html Enjoy! ❤🤘
Dammit! Brad! Lex! You guys have got me hooked on Jinjer! You introduced me to them and NOW I have tickets to see them in SF on Oct 28, AND as LUCK would have it, I fly down to San Diego for work the next day on Oct 29 and I have tickets to them THERE too! (Now I'm buying T-shirts for my girl and I to go the show! *Aghh*)
Great reaction!🤗 A measure of a great band is...are they good & is their message. Well Jenjer is breaking hearts & minds revelant. Plus I have a crush on Tatiana too..
Yet another great reaction! You make such a great combo with the slightly different ways you approach it and therefore react to it. Also loved the way this moved you personally and reminded you of the stories of your life - that's what art is for. And you didn't digress with the university story Lex, quite on the contrary, for me it was an integral part of your reaction! And also great to observe how Brad is learning to understand Tati, I went through the same process :D. Oh, and when it comes to recommendations please watch "I speak Astronomy"!
I love this song, too. Y'all keep doin' what you do! I'd recommend Vortex next. Tatiana really integrates the growling in a very organic way in that one. It has a nice build to it.
First found your channel when you were reacting to NF, who is my favorite rapper. Those reactions are great, and I enjoy your others too. But there's something about your reactions to metal recently. Metal is my favorite genre by far, and I love these reactions so much. Especially how fired up you get. Lex, you're a metalhead for sure, and Brad you're not far behind. Welcome to the family.
You guys are great..and what a band to get into...the birth of two new Metalheads! 🤟 bless ya Lex... she got it from the start... Brad your getting there...stay real🙏🤟
A Teacher should teach you how to think Not teach you what to think. This is the main problem today I think ..They are teaching you how to pass a test
Teachers are teaching you how to live within the system, how to get to a desired result so that that result can be pointed to as a statistic that will result in funding. Higher education is the place where you are taught to learn and a lot of kids have problems with thinking for themselves because of their experience of previous schooling.

I love how much Lex is loving Jinjer. lol.
I agree with you. I'm a giant fan of Jinjer ots amazing to see more fans of theres and you can tell she digs it
She vibed hard on those blast beats after the first chorus. It was a thing of beauty.
Me too!
Wonder how they would like arch enemy or otep keeping with the femal lead metal band theme
@@chrisrose7508 they need Spiritbox in their lives, so badly

Probably my favorite Jinjer song (tough to pick between this and I Speak Astronomy)
@@brad_wilson it is their BEST song... doesn't mean it should be favorite, but i recognize this as having all the elements, it is their best effort
i mean... with the captions, you'd believe its Makka. Pakka. [music] tango (check 1:30) :D
It’s about Catholic school and how awful it is…
@@DynamiteProd It's about more than that. It's a metaphor just like OP said.
Lex is such a metalhead now. Brad is getting a good ear. I love to see it
Great to see the birth of a new Metalhead! 🤟

Any suggestions for the best lyrics video.?

I don't think I've ever seen such an adorable metalhead omg I'm loving these
I knew that Lex will go hard once Tati starts growling! One of us, one of us! 😂 Lots of love from Europe!
she looks like she's ready to go into a mosh pit :D
That girl needs 50 CC's of Slayer, STAT!

Mad respect for you two jumping into so many different genres. LOVE your content and honest reactions!
Yup, I stand by what I said. Lex is a born metalhead.
Ha! Lex was way more into the blast beats than I ever thought! Metal head for sure!
Definitely
She be moshin'
I love blast beats. George Kollias... shall rise shall be dead is awesome... the drum cam version. It's off his 1-man band project.
Blast beats are best when used with light hand, same with double bass. Contrast makes it so much more interesting than a whole song with either.
I LOVE JINJER SO MUCH AND I LOVE YOU BOTH... im literally crying right now
I LOVE YOU!!!!
So much fun...I watched this twice! ✌🔥
"Just Another" or "Scissors" for some early stuff, "Pit of Consciousness" live in Kiev or the official video is a banger, "Retrospection" for some love your parents vibes or "Home Back" to watch Jinjer address some real world problems and melt our faces off. Your pick...can't go wrong with any of their songs!

Nice to see you two becoming invested enough in Jinjer to take the time to study, listen, and learn how to understand. Good on both of you!

Can’t wait until you guys watch JINGER’s - “Home Back & Captain Clock Live”
Don’t see or look first
Come in blind we will know!!! She’s not yet unleashed the vocal beast 🎶🎧✌️
the closed caption translation had me laughing so hard. Too funny!!!
I just saw them this past friday & they were IMMACULATE.
Oh nice! Teacher Teacher is one of my favorite songs. If you want to see an absolutely incredible and impressive live performance, i recommend JINJER - Pit of Consciousness (Live in Kiev) as your next Jinjner reaction :)
Must-read-the-lyrics song. Very personal, very deep and very dark. I am afraid they won't enjoy it without reading the lyrics.
Simply the best lead vocalist I've ever heard....Tatiana is fantastic and the band is unbelievably great.
The solution to not understanding the songs is simple. Have the lyrics pulled up on your phone or other device to glance at while you’re watching the video. You’ll get so much more out of the songs and also see that Tatiana is not just a great vocalist and mesmerizing front of the band, but a gifted writer as well.
Metal, heavy music, unites us all
You guys make for a good mix. Brad seems to analyze, sort and assess while Lex feels and picks up the emotional essence a song conveys.
I'm loving to see them coming to the metal side of the force
It's been a hot minute since I've been in a mosh pit but the feeling you get when you're in it is so liberating. You gotta give it a shot guys!
I loved Lex's reaction starting at 3:45, during the blast-beats part of the song. You were going in!
Awesome reaction and awesome song!!....you guys are awesome....and Jinjer is touring the US this year.
Love watching this journey!! You two seriously make a great pair!! Ying & Yang and all that!!
I would recommend home back as a next jinjer reaction! Very powerfull and emotional song, it sends shivers down my spine every time.
It’s been so long Sense any music hits like there’s does. It’s bringing back days from 80s when hair bands where dropping new stuff. It’s exciting again
""Good evening, kids. Take your seats. Open up your Bibles
I’m gonna chastise a rival so keep your eyes wide open
The young soul lost control, made her first faul
This is my duty to set the bounds
She grabbed my hand, took me in, placed me in front of a class
She gave a hint I was the clou of her mass
I’m in the middle of her Holy of Holies, I have no worries!
I saw dusty icons on the walls
I saw needles and stones
So she put a paper bag on my head
She pointed finger at me, and then she said:
Dear Lord, forgive me as I’m slapping this sinful child
By your hand I’m led so I will show what is wrong and what is right
Choose your label cuz I’m mercy, merciful
Put your knuckles on the table, meet my friend Ferule
Who’ll punish you!
When their prejudice let us down
We stand firmly on our ground
Don’t let their school make a fool of you
Because the teachers may be fools too
Laws chalked on a blackboard
Can’t be erased until it gets boring
The lady spoke and then she choked
On the convictions oh so alluring
She made a pause in her verbal overdose
My paper bag slipped down on the floor
I took a look around, there was no sanctuary
Desks empty, the school was all imaginary
Teacher, teacher! Self-proclaimed preacher
Under the flag of welfare your lectures start to blare!
We need no soap shoved down our throats
So keep your monologues unrated and remote
I am a bad example of order
This life is not a prison and you are not a warden

I smile to you, cuz I want you to see
How I break the rules in front of your trinity

Oh guys, and don't forget "who's gonna be the one", where, like in home back, we can hear the lowest levels in Tatiana's growls.. 🙂 plus, Lex, you can also enjoy some reggae, Jinjer style..
You feel it in your spine... there chills girly I get them to with this song
Mad respect for Tatiana because her diction during singing is great and English is NOT her natural language, its a learned second or third language! Amazing
You guys are so perfect together, I almost feel like you guys never argue, fuss or fight! Love Lex, the little metal head!!! Keep em commin😎
Lex is now a metalhead ya gotta love her. Lots of love from Ireland
Jinjer retrospection!!!!!!!!
Aww man! I have been waiting for this one! Couch Gang!!
Brad even had a little stink face when the blast beats started!
Yeah and that's rare.
The quiet bridge 9:54 just rules. That's so prog.
Great reaction again! I also had interesting philosophy teacher in university. He study himself Hegel and Kant. So when the philosophy history class came to those two he was telling us to only read it from certain book, because in his opinion other books were wrong. 😅
Love it. Do “speak astronomy” next
I can't wait until you guys start reacting to Slayer and Amon Amarth and stuff!
Lex jumps feet first into every one of these and her energy is honestly infectious IMO & I love how Brad always tries to hear the lyrics inside the music and I know from experience the more you focus on the words the easier it is to understand people when they growl/scream in general, I compare it to trying to understand someone with a really strong accent, the more you listen the more you hear 👍❤️
Just saw jinjer live in Vegas they are on tour what a fucking great show you two must go
It’s not over till lead singer Femme Fatale Tatiana Shmailyuk gets the WALL OF DEATH!!!!
Wait what, the drummer is using “DOUBLE BUTTED STICKS “meaning there is no tip-end of the drum stick, nice!!
You both are very correct people.
It is extremely refreshing to whitness genuine minds like yours in this world of fake shit.
I love both of you.
Keep on vibing to good music.
If you want more jinjer then pls listen to "home back" and " who is gonna be the one".
If you want older tracks from jinjer.
" scissors" and "exposed as a liar".
Those are my 4 favourit songs.
Greetings from Austria
Great reaction! Please check out Who Is Going To Be The One or I Speak Astrology next. Brad you can always pull the lyrics up while watching the video or before to get an idea on what the song is about.
Lex is a metal head! She was jammin'...oooh! Lol 🤘🤘🤘
Such a fun reaction. Go get it Lex ❤️🤣
You should check out the Jinjer new album studio report #4. You get to hear Tati recording some vocals and see how they are as people.
The two of you should go see them if they come to a venue near you, i can see you having such a blast experiencing Jinjer live.
Love the little nod to Pink Floyd in the middle: “Teacher, Teacher leave us alone” ;) 👍
Great reaction! Try Outlander next by Jinjer
I love how she's genuinely enjoying Jinjer! ❤
Lex is so cute how much she is getting into this. Ya, this is an awesomely complex song.
Excellent reaction! Love all your reactions 👍
Thank you, Edo!!
That wall of death at the end of the video takes me back to some great Amon Amarth shows lol bound to break something or come out bleeding but when you're caught in the moment it's complete catharsis
Watching Lex’ reactions, and my brain says: Ooh, somebody likes blast beats.
You made an amazing point! Knowing the lyrics do help appreciate the music. Metal in general has aggressive emotions, which aren't always a bad thing. Great videos!
Just here to give props to the drummer and that beast of a bass player.
I love that personal Halloween story, it what makes me wan't to watch reaction videos like this - I am happy I pushed the subscribe button before watching this one :)
You two are wonderful! Another good reaction and a good read on the meaning.
New Jinjer! They dropped the first video for their new album on the 17th (the album will be released August 27th), check it out:
Vortex (official video)

Enjoy! ❤🤘
555 Thank you for your great reaction! The song itself is a bomb. It's hard for me to imagine how talented you need to be to build such a thing.
Dammit! Brad! Lex! You guys have got me hooked on Jinjer! You introduced me to them and NOW I have tickets to see them in SF on Oct 28, AND as LUCK would have it, I fly down to San Diego for work the next day on Oct 29 and I have tickets to them THERE too! (Now I'm buying T-shirts for my girl and I to go the show! *Aghh*)
Its going to be so good!! I can only imagine them live. That voice!!! 😍🤟
Great reaction!🤗 A measure of a great band is...are they good & is their message. Well Jenjer is breaking hearts & minds revelant. Plus I have a crush on Tatiana too..
Yet another great reaction! You make such a great combo with the slightly different ways you approach it and therefore react to it. Also loved the way this moved you personally and reminded you of the stories of your life - that's what art is for. And you didn't digress with the university story Lex, quite on the contrary, for me it was an integral part of your reaction! And also great to observe how Brad is learning to understand Tati, I went through the same process :D.
Oh, and when it comes to recommendations please watch "I speak Astronomy"!
I love this song, too. Y'all keep doin' what you do! I'd recommend Vortex next. Tatiana really integrates the growling in a very organic way in that one. It has a nice build to it.
ROLMFAO!!!!!! i love your initial reaction when Tatyiana starts screaming. the more you listen to metal the more you'll understand.
You NEEEEEED to react to Jinjer "Who's gonna be the one" live! Lex will not be able to sit still at all durning the whole vid. Guaranteed.
First found your channel when you were reacting to NF, who is my favorite rapper. Those reactions are great, and I enjoy your others too. But there's something about your reactions to metal recently. Metal is my favorite genre by far, and I love these reactions so much. Especially how fired up you get. Lex, you're a metalhead for sure, and Brad you're not far behind. Welcome to the family.
I am so glad you caught the prison/warden line. Best line in the song.
Outlander, Scissors, Exposed as a liar and words of wisdom all fire.
It's so fun to see people experience blast beats for the first time.
You guys are great..and what a band to get into...the birth of two new Metalheads! 🤟 bless ya Lex... she got it from the start... Brad your getting there...stay real🙏🤟
Being with you in this new journey is a preveligde.
I love seeing you guys vibe so hard to Jinjer! Welcome to the metalhead family yall
