I remember the night when 808s dropped and the radio hosts were so confused. This auto tune and heavy 808s have become a staple of rap and hip hop 10 years later. This man was so ahead
in what way? All I hear is a super generic pop song with a singer that can't sing and puts awful autotune. The world is crazy man. Stop making stupid untalented people famous!
ZiplineShazam I think in Kanye's case it was a way to produce a new and interesting sound. To evoke a mood. Like any other musical innovation. The guy can obviously sound good without it, so I don't think that was his motivation.
just because it has autotune it doesn't make it bad the weeknd got a really good voice and on travis scott - Pray 4 Love he used autotune for the effect
I remember how hated this song used to be by his so-called fans because it wasn't the classic rap sound they expected from Kanye West. Meanwhile this is a masterpiece.
This whole album is underrated I guess because of how perfect his other albums are but even though a couple songs didn’t age well pretty much all of them are great and if you don’t compare it to his other albums it’s actually an awesome listen
I realized his musical talent then but because of the autotone he was dismissed. But he paved the way for Drake with this. I see why they became rivals now.

They're 808 kicks I think which is the main part of 808 and heartbreak. That was at the time when 808s starting coming out and being really popular for hip hop beats.

Kanye always knew that Africa was the future, he was way ahead of his time .This was a song inspired by African drums which was an unpopular thing in the America those times ! I remember this video randomly popping up on tv in 2009. I was sitting with my grandmother who was purely African with no Western influence whatsoever, To my surprise she liked the song! Let me tell you he hit the nail with those African drums and my grandmother resonated with it because they were echo's of our traditional African music , that made me realize that with music you don't have to speak someone's language for them to like it, nor do you have to share the shame identity, culture, heritage and history. Music is a Universal language ! and it speaks to the soul in ways that words can never express.
It speaks to the emotions of us. I can tell you this right now... as a big fan of rap and even vulgar rap--- it speaks to our mind/ego/emotions/feelings--- which most people think is their soul... but that said... only Songs that glorify Jehovah (the creator of life and soul/breath of life) can really reach your soul. That and love/romance songs that enliven you. Others just speak to who I am amongst the masses. But songs of love and glorification of Jah --- really reach my soul and who I am before God

i remember seeing this on MTV as a kid and it used to scare the shit outta me.. watching it years later rlly is something bc this music video is just so beautiful to me
"I'm in love with you, but the vibe is wrong"... This song reflects literally the ending of my relationship. I'm devastated but this song and its album are really helping me to understand a relationship can end because other reasons than losing love for each other and be able to get over it.
This is what is most painful...When there is still love between two people, is that one of them, decide to reject you "again" and block you in all possible communications...Like in this beautiful masterpiece... ua-cam.com/video/OydK91JjFOw/v-deo.html The worst is when the rejection is based on a stupid misunderstanding on the one hand, and a very bad understanding on the other hand, having triggered "The damned Kraken & his cohort of demons", destroying everything... Anger is always a bad advisor... It makes you make many mistakes, like erasing yourself, refusing him from now on, all access to your conscience, your thoughts, as he did himself, and lock yourself in a cold mutism to heal, move forward and especially protect yourself from all new venomous and painful stings... Instinctively you must protect yourself and take refuge in your citadel...

@@mamaziha79 mine was after 35 year marriage I was totally unforgivabley betrayed , not cheating but far worse for me but nothing to her , I was put in care at 5 , adopted at7 put back in care at 11 left care 16 joined army , met future wife at 19 still virgin, she pursued me relentlessly, I was more than hesitant . We got together , I told her “ I will never cheat on you , never hit you , if you want me never to lie , don’t ask about my past” I kept my word , she did too. After 30 years some thing was wrong , the dice was rolling , didn’t know what it was , said nothing , was extra vigilant , my defences were up . Then sept 2017 my wife and 2 daughters announced they had found my family , it took £ 14000 and failed cos of actions I had taken to hide . I had 2 forged id’s then 1 they knew me as,it took dna test to find my family in USA . To them this was really good they were ecstatic , to me it was end of my world which was just them. I never asked fo it, After 35 years in total I was out of house in 20 mins . Left everything but clothes on my back and 1 hold-all ,I know they didn’t understand , I lived homeless on spare ground behind garden center , 4 years later was seen by friend of friend , they told my wife , who arrived with 2 daughters and 1st grandchild I had never met. They full of apologies and vowing never to communicate with my family again ,. It took 4 weeks to convince me to go back with them, it was not the same , seperate bedrooms , never touched my wife , I wouldn’t even go in bathroom when she was in it, Met my younger daughters friend from unI many time she was studying psychology. One day she was stareing at me for longest time till I said “what” , she replied “ you need some serious professional help, your head is all mashed up”. They all went on to list odd behaviour ,like asking to use toilet every time , asking if I could make cup of tea , only ever sitting on kitchen chair in kitchen and turning it to face door, disappearing for up to three days , having an object fear of grandchild, terrible nightmares all night every night that I had no memory, many more , too many to mention, all I could say was “ something ain’t right it’s not the same ,the vibe is wrong , I’m not loving you the way I want to “ daughters friend said “ that’s love lockdown by Kanye west” Never heard of it before so hear I am listening to it , and at last talking , This song could be my road back to not been crazy and scaring people
+William Schwenke Spaceships!!!! Dude just because Kanye doesn't make music like this anymore it doesn't mean it doesn't exist anymore. I'm 18 and still bumping that College Dropout
+zongo maqutu I never said it doesn't exist, I'm just kids will never know Kanye for the Artist he really he is. They're caught up on the hate that people give him and they don't give him a chance to know who and what he really is all about. I still say Kanye is all time Top 10 Rapper/Producer!! I just wish he could still make songs that could be Hits, Billboards Top 10 like he used to. Now it's just Features with other Artists and it doesn't show his true ability for the Rapper he actually is
You can say whatever you want about kanye. Hate him or love him, he makes great music either way. to me 808 and heartbreak and mbdtf are his best albums hands down.
I love how every comment is reminiscing on the past "Kanye". But when 808's was released 6 years ago, people said the same shit: "808's sucks, bring back the old Kanye" blah blah blah... Some amazing fans you are. When will you all realize that he switches his style up every album. :/
Everything you said is correct, but I'd say that his style is evolved starting from 808's, I mean there would be no MBDTF w/out 808's and the same for Yeezus with MBDTF. But again, you said it: people used to HATE 808's when it first come out, now they keep saying the same shit about "past" Kanye. They're not fans.
@@kurtkurtkurt3449 I would assume most of his money is in assets like stocks, real estate, prized possessions that appreciate in value over time, and some in a savings account. And I don't think any smart person or their financial advisors would have or suggest 150 million in cash. The cash is just losing to inflation and is costing an opportunity to make even more money. 150 million in a checking account would make sense given his net worth and isn't easily stolen. PS: learn financial literacy and how to manage money
This entire album is still outshining with creativity, more than anything else that has been put out since and still can't get even close to this talented albeit eccentric, but immensely unique and talented individual! ❤
+Randy Reyes he never was humbe look up old interviews of him in 2002 saying he will be the fucking best and he didn't have an album out yet and saying he's his own favorite rapper
Randy Reyes you have to be confident in order to make it nobody makes it big being humble they have to believe in themselves and it is neccesary considering that he is a rapper where arrogance is welcomed specially in the beginning of his career people said he couldn't rap and was only a producer so he used his arrogance and became one of biggest artists to shame them
Man.... can’t believe people didn’t fuck with 808’s when it first came out. I can understand electro pop by a rapper was crazy and unheard of then but everything from 808’s was just so beautiful. Happy to see how influential and popular it is today. They really took this for granted back then.
nikole of course he changed the game Kanye Is one of those artist that influence other artists like that Kanye is the best luv him lol I miss this Kanye I do care about the new Kanye this I really Srry for his parents deaths why did his old fiancé leave him this album amazing
Ive known about it since 2k shame that you cant see my facebook account and no im not going to tell how to reach it but ive told the world about the shizzle thats happening and about to happen nobody cared now its too late
Me too but some of it is back, just look up Kendrick Lamar and Sza in the "All of the Stars" video that just dropped for Black Panther, it will remind you of this but it tops all with the visuals.
for the people who keeps on commenting shit saying: when kanye was kanye what you dont know is that when kanye dropped this song (and also the whole 808 album) everyone kept on saying that they need the old (college dropout/no auto tune kanye) kanye stop comparing between kanye's style , because thats what makes him special and different ... 10 years from now ull go to the blackskinhead video and comment "when kanye was kanye" quote me when im right
preach I vividly remember niggas complaining about this album saying I like his old music I want the old ye from college dropout and late registration his new a shit is wack now years later people are saying I want the old ye from 808's and heartbreak I'm like really MF fucking retards lol
+Varian Moore because kanye is a genius .. he is always way more above any other artist ... let me put it in another way, yeezus is from the future .. it sounds strange but thats what most of the rapper will do in 5-10 years from now on
I only today found out that Kanye produced the album with this song after the death of his mother and the break-up with his fiance. The music video reflects his mood, his depression, as if the memories and the ghosts from the past are haunting him.
I Hated This Album When It Came Out, I Was So Stuck In The Soul Sound Of His First Two Albums And Work He Did For Common, Alicia Keys & John Legend. Fast Foward Almost 20 Years Later, This Entire Album Speaks To Me More Than ANY Of His Albums. The Overall Melancholic Theme, The Simple But Visceral Sound Of The Drums Paired With The Futuristic Synths And 808's Gives It The Sound Of A Peak Society On The Brink Of Destruction Leading Into A Post-Apocalyptic World.
I was like 7 and i had no idea who kanye was but i loved the sound of this song and now i got into kanye nearly 10 years later i realised this beast sung this song along. Hes such a legendary artist
All of kanyes music is like wine it gets better with age when 808s first came out everyone was asking for the old Kanye and now everyone loves it same with yeezus and tlop to follow
Kanye was never one of the artists that I would listen to, but a number of his songs are really nice and stayed with me over the years. Love lockdown is one of them. The visuals are stunning, the combination between the rich content in a minimalist touch is winning my attention all the time. Power music video is also really good.
There's so many... His music is part of my childhood when I didn't have toys to play with. Something about this just touches my inner me and makes me dance and sing.
This song takes me back to childhood when my brother and I used to share the room and this was the song for waking up. I hated this for a while but now I listen to it every time I miss family, as I am working abroad and childhood is gone forever.
Anxhela Dardha very true when I was young i didn’t quite understand the song and now that I’m older (23) I now get what he saying now that I’m going thru Kanye is a mastermind
As someone with relationship ocd/anxiety, trauma, attachment issues and a personality disorder this song makes me feel understood and at home when it comes to love. I don't know if I really love anyone in my life because I never feel like I love anyone "enough". Anxiety and overthining kicks in. And then I have to runaway because I'm confused. But yet I still got love and I'm still in love with that someone. This song is much deeper than people may think. It's show how anxiety, stress, trauma, and mental disorders can really fuck love up and relationships for someone and feel like you have no control over it. Other than to runaway from that person or end the relationship.
It's crazy because I have heard this a million times because I loved old Kanye. .. And I guess I never really paid much attention to the meaning of the lyrics because damn... This realization hit me hard in my feels
D. This jive turkey right jeeeer huuuuuh, I got such a bromance w/this skillets jams... I mean, he looks me deep n da I & idk, i cant say 4sho I'd bolt 4 da doro.... Long live The cataclysmic galactis of absolute lyrical genius... Haaaaaaaaaaters

I was thinking 2,013 though
no matter how many times I come back to this track, it still holds up today, class lasts forever.
"I can't lie to you, no matter how many times I uh uhhhh!"
"I'm in love with you, but the vibe is wrong"...
This song reflects literally the ending of my relationship. I'm devastated but this song and its album are really helping me to understand a relationship can end because other reasons than losing love for each other and be able to get over it.
This is what is most painful...When there is still love between two people, is that one of them, decide to reject you "again" and block you in all possible communications...Like in this beautiful masterpiece...
ua-cam.com/video/OydK91JjFOw/v-deo.html
The worst is when the rejection is based on a stupid misunderstanding on the one hand, and a very bad understanding on the other hand, having triggered "The damned Kraken & his cohort of demons", destroying everything...
Anger is always a bad advisor... It makes you make many mistakes, like erasing yourself, refusing him from now on, all access to your conscience, your thoughts, as he did himself, and lock yourself in a cold mutism to heal, move forward and especially protect yourself from all new venomous and painful stings... Instinctively you must protect yourself and take refuge in your citadel...
Even if you have to live with a love lockdown and a cold case love too...
ua-cam.com/video/eMjEyWaoNKE/v-deo.html
To love sincerely and deeply someone and to lose him in such a brutal and violent way...It's hurt like hell...

@@mamaziha79 mine was after 35 year marriage I was totally unforgivabley betrayed , not cheating but far worse for me but nothing to her ,
I was put in care at 5 , adopted at7 put back in care at 11 left care 16 joined army , met future wife at 19 still virgin, she pursued me relentlessly, I was more than hesitant .
We got together , I told her “ I will never cheat on you , never hit you , if you want me never to lie , don’t ask about my past” I kept my word , she did too.
After 30 years some thing was wrong , the dice was rolling , didn’t know what it was , said nothing , was extra vigilant , my defences were up . Then sept 2017 my wife and 2 daughters announced they had found my family , it took £ 14000 and failed cos of actions I had taken to hide . I had 2 forged id’s then 1 they knew me as,it took dna test to find my family in USA . To them this was really good they were ecstatic , to me it was end of my world which was just them.
I never asked fo it,
After 35 years in total I was out of house in 20 mins .
Left everything but clothes on my back and 1 hold-all ,I know they didn’t understand ,
I lived homeless on spare ground behind garden center , 4 years later was seen by friend of friend , they told my wife , who arrived with 2 daughters and 1st grandchild I had never met. They full of apologies and vowing never to communicate with my family again ,.
It took 4 weeks to convince me to go back with them, it was not the same , seperate bedrooms , never touched my wife , I wouldn’t even go in bathroom when she was in it,
Met my younger daughters friend from unI many time she was studying psychology. One day she was stareing at me for longest time till I said “what” , she replied “ you need some serious professional help, your head is all mashed up”.
They all went on to list odd behaviour ,like asking to use toilet every time , asking if I could make cup of tea , only ever sitting on kitchen chair in kitchen and turning it to face door, disappearing for up to three days , having an object fear of grandchild, terrible nightmares all night every night that I had no memory, many more , too many to mention, all I could say was “ something ain’t right it’s not the same ,the vibe is wrong , I’m not loving you the way I want to “ daughters friend said “ that’s love lockdown by Kanye west”
Never heard of it before so hear I am listening to it , and at last talking ,
This song could be my road back to not been crazy and scaring people
What are u 16

Today's Kids will NEVER KNOW this side to Kanye West
false
+j galaviz okay....name another song of Kanye's Greatest Songs....This one is an Example...
+William Schwenke Spaceships!!!! Dude just because Kanye doesn't make music like this anymore it doesn't mean it doesn't exist anymore. I'm 18 and still bumping that College Dropout
+zongo maqutu I never said it doesn't exist, I'm just kids will never know Kanye for the Artist he really he is. They're caught up on the hate that people give him and they don't give him a chance to know who and what he really is all about. I still say Kanye is all time Top 10 Rapper/Producer!! I just wish he could still make songs that could be Hits, Billboards Top 10 like he used to. Now it's just Features with other Artists and it doesn't show his true ability for the Rapper he actually is
+William Schwenke have you heard life of pablo or yeezus or my beutiful dark twisted fantasy all are great recent albums of his
Go easy on da young ones, my man
I didn’t get it can u explain pls?
@@memj5869it’s a gta meme
kanye’s aesthetic was ahead of time, genius.
He is a creative Genius
This song was futuristic.. way ahead of its time..
How is it possible for something in the past to be futuristic? It’s not futuristic, it just set the trend
You can say whatever you want about kanye. Hate him or love him, he makes great music either way. to me 808 and heartbreak and mbdtf are his best albums hands down.
graduation was way better
not my favorite but it was really good as well
Aubrey's Wife What! It was way better than mbdtf. That My Beautiful Dark Twisted fantasy album is what made people start hating kanye
and we're supposed to refer to what most people think ? Personally, those are my fave albums. You can have yours lol it's ok :))
Aubrey's Wife Im not saying that popular opinion is bad but its a lot better than unpopular opinion
sometimes there are just songs where the lyrics perfectly relate to what you're going through. this song will always be in my top 5 of all time
I love how every comment is reminiscing on the past "Kanye".
But when 808's was released 6 years ago, people said the same shit:
"808's sucks, bring back the old Kanye" blah blah blah...
Some amazing fans you are. When will you all realize that he switches his style up every album. :/
I don't think these people are even fans. How many of them would have heard Bound 2 if it weren't for everyone talking about the video?
Shiiit, good point.
Everything you said is correct, but I'd say that his style is evolved starting from 808's, I mean there would be no MBDTF w/out 808's and the same for Yeezus with MBDTF. But again, you said it: people used to HATE 808's when it first come out, now they keep saying the same shit about "past" Kanye. They're not fans.
ginoblee94 Precisely. Just wait- 3 years from now, people will talk about how "Yeezus was a classic" and whatnot. Ignorance, ya know?
fhadj EVERY Kanye project has something special to offer. If you can see the best in it then you're pretty much set.

COLLEGE DROPOUT was one of the most influential just saying.
Agreed
Now he worth 6.6 Billion, richest black man in America, richer then every other rapper put together, Kanye a legend
He admitted he has 150 million in cash 0_o
@@confinedbydigits rest of his money in the bank but 150 million in cash what if someone break in his house
@@kurtkurtkurt3449 I would assume most of his money is in assets like stocks, real estate, prized possessions that appreciate in value over time, and some in a savings account. And I don't think any smart person or their financial advisors would have or suggest 150 million in cash. The cash is just losing to inflation and is costing an opportunity to make even more money. 150 million in a checking account would make sense given his net worth and isn't easily stolen.

@@tdriver7590 Okay daddy
And still battling serious mental health problems and going through a divorce. I guess $$ can't buy happiness or sanity.
This entire album is still outshining with creativity, more than anything else that has been put out since and still can't get even close to this talented albeit eccentric, but immensely unique and talented individual! ❤
I understand why Kanye is constantly fighting for recognition. He influenced a generation of artist.
And those he influenced have influenced the next generation. Off the top I think of Kid Cudi.
@@ChivasBarcelonaMex tyler too
John Sutton don’t forget lil uzi and juice wrld

Same!! When I heard scars I had to come back to this masterpiece. It’s amazing.
I came after issues
Baby Keem is CERTIFIED 🔥🤩😤😤🥱
@@Hpe4ch fax issues reminded me of this
The devil is in half the details...
Kanye looks humbled here. But honestly I dare you to say Kanye isn't one of the best artist of all time while listening to this masterpiece.
"Of all time" lol saying that in Ye's voice
Amen LOL
+Randy Reyes he never was humbe look up old interviews of him in 2002 saying he will be the fucking best and he didn't have an album out yet and saying he's his own favorite rapper
have to be confident some how, thats just a character he puts up trust me no way you could be this artistic and arrogant
Randy Reyes you have to be confident in order to make it nobody makes it big being humble they have to believe in themselves and it is neccesary considering that he is a rapper where arrogance is welcomed specially in the beginning of his career people said he couldn't rap and was only a producer so he used his arrogance and became one of biggest artists to shame them
Man.... can’t believe people didn’t fuck with 808’s when it first came out. I can understand electro pop by a rapper was crazy and unheard of then but everything from 808’s was just so beautiful. Happy to see how influential and popular it is today. They really took this for granted back then.
I loved this song ever since it came out. I remember going through things as a kid and this song always helped.
I sure did
Kanye will always be ahead of the curve.
I agree.
Kanye really paved the way for a lot of artists.
people don't give him the credit he deserves, they just hate on him for his personality. yet he changed the game.
nikole of course he changed the game Kanye Is one of those artist that influence other artists like that Kanye is the best luv him lol I miss this Kanye I do care about the new Kanye this I really Srry for his parents deaths why did his old fiancé leave him this album amazing
nikole he should derserve more
Humm like who?

Same...gives me the chills I seriously don't know how people hate on Kanye!
remember when he released this and everyone thought he was crazy?
Kairo Well he still is crazy; but yeah, you definitely have had to've been Kanye fan to embrace this when this was released.
Why though?
Yeah, when I heard it first I was like oh wow he's not even making rap albums anymore? Lame. With time I've now seen what it was about.
I recognized it was amazing, even back then!!!!
Kairo lol. He is a bipolar narcissist. I can hear it every time I bump this jam.
Kanye has the ability to foresee the future lockdown.
The ONLY one with a productive brain.

True, my brother did that today lol
I miss this era.
Me too but some of it is back, just look up Kendrick Lamar and Sza in the "All of the Stars" video that just dropped for Black Panther, it will remind you of this but it tops all with the visuals.
For real. 808 is one of my favorite albums.
I come back to it on the regular
MrTikkyMikk2 me too
The Auto-Tune rappers we have today are heavily influenced by this haha
for the people who keeps on commenting shit saying: when kanye was kanye
what you dont know is that when kanye dropped this song (and also the whole 808 album) everyone kept on saying that they need the old (college dropout/no auto tune kanye) kanye
stop comparing between kanye's style , because thats what makes him special and different ... 10 years from now ull go to the blackskinhead video and comment "when kanye was kanye"
quote me when im right
preach I vividly remember niggas complaining about this album saying I like his old music I want the old ye from college dropout and late registration his new a
shit is wack now years later people are saying I want the old ye from 808's and heartbreak I'm like really MF fucking retards lol
+Varian Moore thats what you are saying now ... exactly what im saying
in 10 years from now youll appreciate Yeezus more than any album he ever done
+Varian Moore because kanye is a genius .. he is always way more above any other artist ...
let me put it in another way, yeezus is from the future .. it sounds strange but thats what most of the rapper will do in 5-10 years from now on
true
The reason I miss this Kanye is becuazs he wasn't amaragent and was contender now he thinks he's a god
I only today found out that Kanye produced the album with this song after the death of his mother and the break-up with his fiance.
The music video reflects his mood, his depression, as if the memories and the ghosts from the past are haunting him.
This has a spiritual meaning.
Every album usually projects chapters in his life
808’s & Heartbreak era 2009-09
Proof, in my opinion, that music is a cure for conditions like depression.
Arguably his best piece ever. Lyrics are gold. Perfectly describe the experience of a dysfunctional relationship on the brink of ending
Kanye has A LOT of masterpieces
Fact's 💯
#FACTS!
Lmao no. Probably not even top 10. Still, great.
Uh no. The glass animals version is better 😉
I Hated This Album When It Came Out, I Was So Stuck In The Soul Sound Of His First Two Albums And Work He Did For Common, Alicia Keys & John Legend. Fast Foward Almost 20 Years Later, This Entire Album Speaks To Me More Than ANY Of His Albums. The Overall Melancholic Theme, The Simple But Visceral Sound Of The Drums Paired With The Futuristic Synths And 808's Gives It The Sound Of A Peak Society On The Brink Of Destruction Leading Into A Post-Apocalyptic World.
This song used to scare the hell out of me when I was younger😂😂
The Puppy the video used to scare me a little bit when it came out I was 3
I was like 7 and i had no idea who kanye was but i loved the sound of this song and now i got into kanye nearly 10 years later i realised this beast sung this song along. Hes such a legendary artist

Kanye was never one of the artists that I would listen to, but a number of his songs are really nice and stayed with me over the years. Love lockdown is one of them. The visuals are stunning, the combination between the rich content in a minimalist touch is winning my attention all the time. Power music video is also really good.
He is an amazing painter, as well.
There's so many... His music is part of my childhood when I didn't have toys to play with. Something about this just touches my inner me and makes me dance and sing.
Pay attention to exacly just that in his music: rich in minimalistic, its his thing. Thats his repetitive contradiction
❤❤❤Favorite Artist Since 2008❤❤❤
what do you mean what age are we talking about?
Go easy on the young ones
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, BUDDY!?
Your clothes are crazy! You looking crazy!
This song takes me back to childhood when my brother and I used to share the room and this was the song for waking up. I hated this for a while but now I listen to it every time I miss family, as I am working abroad and childhood is gone forever.
I have great memories too,Kanye is a genius
Anxhela Dardha very true when I was young i didn’t quite understand the song and now that I’m older (23) I now get what he saying now that I’m going thru Kanye is a mastermind

If you want the “old Kanye”, you’ll just get a new Kanye because he was AT LEAST a whole decade ahead of the music industry with songs like this!
"Where I wanna go, I don't need you." That's such a powerful line-classic song 🔥🔥🔥
REAL musical GENIUS and KING is onfe and only prince Six SIXMYFACE
“SYSTEM OVERLOAD” gets me everytime. Gold
As someone with relationship ocd/anxiety, trauma, attachment issues and a personality disorder this song makes me feel understood and at home when it comes to love. I don't know if I really love anyone in my life because I never feel like I love anyone "enough". Anxiety and overthining kicks in. And then I have to runaway because I'm confused. But yet I still got love and I'm still in love with that someone. This song is much deeper than people may think. It's show how anxiety, stress, trauma, and mental disorders can really fuck love up and relationships for someone and feel like you have no control over it. Other than to runaway from that person or end the relationship.
It's crazy because I have heard this a million times because I loved old Kanye. .. And I guess I never really paid much attention to the meaning of the lyrics because damn... This realization hit me hard in my feels
Damn. I hope all works out for you! Music really can be something
