Firstly I feel like mother mother get the wrong kind of audience, such as me, i feel like I’m unworthy of such great music. Secondly, they’re so underrated and need FAR more attention. God please, send down a miracle.
rgehsdzfdh How about you stop gatekeeping and let people do what they want with music they like, no one is ‘unworthy’ of listening to a band because you don’t need to earn your right to like a band or listen to their music.
rgehsdzfdh I partly agree with this however they spend a lot of time on those and saying that someone doesn’t deserve an audience for something so harmless is dumb. Also it doesn’t matter if they don’t get the meaning when you can just look it up online
The "I could feel what you felt" line after the euphoria line is disturbing because that means that he must've spilled his euphoria too while watching her.
Something I find interesting, and concerning, is that it doesn't mention his neighbor's pronouns, but most people have assumed they are female. While this would be a more common situation; a woman being preyed on by some creepy man, it is interesting that there is, seemingly purposefully, absolutely no mention of pronouns, just "you". Maybe implying that everyone is the victim, which ties into the theory that this is a metaphor for mental health and dissociation. Just an interesting concept
@@jeffblimsfalcetto3748 I take the song as he's talking to himself. like his higher self is talking to him. The song is creepy and stalker-ish because thats that how he feels about the way he's dissociated in order to calm himself down, like a bit of a crazy person.
I am your neighbor I can see you I got these blinds that I peek through And when you're crying I see your tears fall down They're making oceans That in I Sink and drown I feel I know you I feel I know you well I've seen you go through I've seen you go through hell I was there when you First let euphoria Spill on your bed sheets I could feel What you felt Do you feel used? Well I would too, I would too And would you use me Like I did you? Oh you would too I am your neighbor I can hear you I got this tin can With a string through And when you're crying I hear your shaky breath And when you're lying I hear your heart confess Time's slipping away Cuz I see your moving signs everyday You got your things in your boxes Your oven's always cold You'll leave me all alone with just an Empty peep hole Do you feel used? Well I would too, I would too And would you use me Like I did you? Oh you would too
One day, when I was really upset, I found a new meaning to this song. It's most likely wrong, but I'm happy to have a personal meaning. To me, it's about watching a friend vent and go through a hard time, but not being able to do anything. Being unsure of what to do and how to help. You enjoy listening but you can't help. In the end, they left
I remember how I listened to this while I was in a car. And when we were passing nearby a car accident, the song was playing at 4:05. And that was really dark and creepy because the instrumentals fitted perfect.
I personally imagine a stalker who's self aware but he cant help himself and he only seeks to know they're safe and he'll do anything to keep them safe from harm but he hates himself because by definition if he were discovered it'd hurt them so hes tortured with conflicting thoughts
No not really .. the lyrics which say " Would you use me like I did you ?" which means that they only stalk the person for their own pleasure and ecstasy
Stalking never sounded so damn good. Jokes aside this is so damn good the harmonies the melody, lyrics it is so pure and lovely, even though it is very deep. I love it.
Many people say this is about a stalker or an ex lover but when I listened to it I thought it was about someone with two personalities, like DID or something like that. Great song though, love Mother Mother to bits
To me, it's about being seen and wishing to be seen. And the feeling of bittersweet validation that someone is there for you through your darkest lonliest moments. Dont we all secretly hope someone knew what we were going through when we were otherwise isolated and withdrawn due to depression? I'm glad the song had them come to a mutual underatanding.
this song reminds me soooo much of frankensteins monster. frankenstein is my favorite book and this matches up really well to when adam/the monster was hiding and secretly watching the family he cared about
see, i don’t interpret this from the point of view of some creepy ass neighbor; i see it as being self aware. i think it’s a person calling out to themselves. “i can see you, i feel what you felt, i saw you go through hell”. i think this is the persons inner self basically saying, hey, i know you’re in pain, i know WERE in pain, it’s ok, we’ll get through this. i know what we’re feeling is horrible but i can see you. im here for you. or smth like that idk lmao im being edgy
that's my favourite thing about mother mother songs, there's always a base interpretation that's super obvious but as you listen and read the lyrics you can come up with completely new and interesting interpretations that make just as much sense as the super obvious one
this reminds me of this delusion i had when i was about 8 or 9 (that i still slightly have now) which was that there was a constant presence around me at all hours of the day that watched me. it caused me to develop a lot of paranoid sort of behaviors, like never being able to change out in the open of my room because i just felt like i was being stared at, and hiding under my bedsheets when i would sleep. when i would talk to myself i always found myself speaking to it. it was nice sometimes but most of the time i just wanted it to go away but it never did no matter where i went. to me this song sort of sounds like that presence talking, which also makes it a bit difficult to listen to :((
Pineapples are Growing in snow That last bit of your comment really matches your pfp, Imo. "I'm not scared of my neighbors at all because they're all old people... *thumbs up"*
idk i’m kinda sketchy abt my neighbor across the street bc i used to go out a lot in the summer and hang out w my guy friends and he literally texted my mom about something like “no wonder those boys hang out with her” or something similar and he’s like an older guy, maybe late 40s
I feel like the song is about a guardian angel who a person ignores there's signs and warnings but the guardian angel is still tied to that person Soul so they can't leave them and they feel everything that the person is going through and the Angel tries to communicate with the person in human form but it kind of goes wrong hence the lines " Do you feel used? Well I would too, I would too, and would you use me like I did you? Oh you would too?" is their conversation
i really don't think it's supposed to be taken literally.. idk, to me it's just more that he's living vicariously through someone else, so when they start changing as a person it makes him feel alone but to each their own
I know it's kinda late but for me this song is about being in love with someone who's constantly change friends bc they can't open completely to anyone. Being a neighbor is a metaphor to know someone and them moving out is a metaphor for them changing friends. Especially the last verses 'I see your moving signs everyday' - they're changing friends almost everyday; 'You keep your things in your boxes' - they never "unpack their things in their new home" which means they never open up to anyone and they keep their feelings "packed"; 'Your oven always cold' - they always "eat out and never cook at home" which means they never spend time with their new friends. An empty peephole is just the singer's feeling of emptiness after that person leaves them yet again
To me, this song represents being too involved in someone else's life, in any degree at all, it shows how you start to feel what they feel and think you know them as much as you know yourself, this kind of attachment can happen for different reasons, but it most likely will leave both parties either hurt or unhealthly attached to each other. In my interpretation the neighbor is a friend, watching their loved one (or friend) suffer from their life situation and/or abusive relationship, as they attempt to help but are unable to (since there is nothing you can give aside from emotional support, as you cannot make the decision to end someone's relationship or problems for them) so they simply watch from afar, suffering along side their loved one without this person even knowing it, it's very unhealthy for both of them, this insistance or obssession by the neighbor, even if not externalized is inherently toxic, and for the loved one, even if not aware, there is a constantly pressure (from the neighbor) to perform certain things to sort of "keep the neighbor in line" as to not damage their mental health further or make them even more invested/obssessed.
For me it is a song about an actual creepy neighbor despite the fact that it's probably a metaphor. Many people say that too, but they always mention that he's watching a woman, meanwhile I literally forgot straight people exist when I listened to it the first time and was sure he's watching another guy........ Well. (There's nothing wrong with straight people)
I feel like this is from the pov of someone who likes to watch their neighbor. Maybe it started as aimless people watching. They become wrapped up in the person's life. Either living vicariously though them or like a tv character. They tell themselves, they're not rly stalking the neighbor, they just watch from time to time. They feel devastated seeing their obsession leave, as if it was a betrayal. The "would you use me like i did you? Oh you WOULD too" i think would be about the neighbor catching them and confronting them. They claim the neighbor would have done the sane, justifying it to the neighbor as much as themselves. Or maybe not a confrontation, just them imagining how they'd defend themselves .
i don't even like this song that much, i keep listening to this over and over again because of ryan's vocals. his voice is enough to physically kill me
I think this song is about a person who is close or knows the other person that they are talking about. They can see how this person is going through a lot of mental issues and can relate. They are saying throughout the song that they experience the same things and that they are there for them.
I feel like this song is about a person that you used to be familiar with and consider a friend, but after some traumatic incident, you slowly grow estranged with them and over time, only becomes a neighbour to them. The lines "I feel I know you" and "I saw you go through hell" could be a reference to a time that you knew each other, but the intimate memories have faded and in the end, the person is moving away and leaving you.
Lyrics: I am your neighbor I can see you I got these blinds that I peek through And when you're crying I see your tears fall down They're making oceans That in I Sink and drown I feel I know you I feel I know you well I've seen you go through I've seen you go through hell I was there when you First let euphoria Spill on your bed sheets I could feel What you felt Do you feel used? Well I would too, I would too And would you use me Like I did you? Oh, you would too I am your neighbor I can hear you I got this tin can With a string through And when you're crying I hear your shaky breath And when you're lying I hear your heart confess Time's slipping away 'Cause I see your moving signs everyday You got your things in your boxes Your oven's always cold You'll leave me all alone with just an Empty peep hole Do you feel used? Well I would too, I would too And would you use me Like I did you? Oh, you would too
Personally, I don't think it's about an actual stalker. I think it's about being in love with someone that is not in love with you anymore. You're still looking at them, feeling their every move and emotion, but they don't really see you anymore. You don't exist for them as they exist for you, and you just kinda remain in an one sided relationship: "Time's slipping away Cuz I see your moving signs everyday You got your things in your boxes Your oven's always cold You'll leave me all alone with just an Empty peep hole" Also, that's why the narrator feels so deeply what the other person is feeling - a 'normal' neighbour wouldn't be able to feel so much ("I feel I know you well"). But hey, it could actually be about a stalker. Or about something totally different. That's why I love Mother Mother. Their lyrics are always so versatile.
*_petition to make famous and overrated people do some exposure for mother mother on social medias_* Dunno i just thought about this bc u know People sayin that they're underrated
I think this is about a creepy ex lover. Because he mentions that he's stalking her, yet he also mentioned that"would you use me like I did you?". So he's basically her creepy ex lover that won't leave her alone.
This song kinda reminds me of a dream I had long ago, where a girl in an abusive family finds a door to a parallel dimension and it leads to the bedroom of a boy with a good family and they become friends.
I don’t know why but I see this as coming from a friend who’s desperate to help their friend but can’t and feels like they’re going insane while watching hopelessly
I feel like this is about when someone feels that the body they own is not them, like if they are a random soul inside a random body, not in the dysphoria way, but in the dissociative way and they feel like this for so much time that star to feel like the other person in the body is supposedly ignoring them or something like that
Esta es mi canción favorita de todo el disco, cuando la escuche por primera vez pensé que iba ser otra canción del montón, pero la verdad me sorprendió mucho
I love how they make such good songs that there are so many interpretations of it unlike the things you hear on the radio where all their song means is to be happy
Saw someone talk about how they thought this song was about how people are always looking into other people's lives and seeing all the shit they have to deal with, but instead of making moves to connect with the other person they just watch claiming they "know what it's like." The other person can end up feeling used only to make the people around them feel better. Honestly, I don't know if that's the actual meaning of the song, but it's the meaning I find the most connection with. Sometimes it can really feel like no one cares about you, but the song is especially uncomfortable when they bring to light that you yourself are no different. Not many people really would reach out in a compassionate way that you want people to do towards you.
I'm still not sure what this song is, but my theory is that this "neighbor" is actually our parent. I think that our other parent is abusive, and the "neighbor" is a bystander in this situation. I think that they may have been the target before we were born, hence why they could feel what we felt and the line 'would you use me, like I did you?'. I think this is why they were so panicked about us "leaving them alone" by moving out. I'm not completely sure about this but this is my best theory.
People take this song too literally. It feels like it’s about someone who is in love with their spouse, losing them every day to a different lover. They have been in their lives for a long time, but now they just feel like a neighbor watching them move out of their relationship while not being able to speak their mind. “Would you use me, like I did you? Oh, you would, too?”. That isn’t a creepy neighbor line. It’s basically being in a rocky relationship. “When you’re lying, I hear your heart confess”. This song is written too emotionally to be just about a literal stalker. It’s a very sad, romantic song.
honestly i would like to make an animation about this to me this song sounds like someone who understands the sadness and hurt in someone elses hurt and wants to help them but they cant and they continue to push the person who understands them the most away
i interpret the message [NOT the song and its contents] to be about celebrities people get obsessed with and fools themselves into believing they know everything about them.
I'm actually surprised the most popular interpretation here seems to be that it's a song about some "creepy neighbour stalker" because all i see is dissociation, especially considering these suicide hints at the end. Dissociation is a coping mechanism, when somebody refers to or thinks of themselves as some other person. This explains why "neighbour" possesses some of very personal memories of someone they "watch" and generally knows too much of them. The calm melody reminds of nothing, but escapism, someone who doesn't want to face just anything negative.
Honestly, in pretty much every song someone is gatekeeping it gets annoying, just stop who cares if someone came from tiktok, or came from an animation meme etc as long as they aren't being toxic it should be fine. Mother Mothers's music wasn't created to be gatekept it was created for everyone to enjoy, just please stop gatekeeping it isn't funny :(
This song kind of reminds me of the strange and random attraction I get to a completely random person and how I feel so involved in their life even though I’ve never met them. I’ve had this happen to me several times and I find it really miserable that they will never know I exist.
This song is great and all, but I think I'm gonna close my curtains now.

This song feels a lot like a companion piece to ghosting somehow. I feel like the stories walk hand in hand.
Ghosting next door instead of in the same house
I always felt like arms tonight was the start, then this, then ghosting
I feel like both of the songs could be from a ghosts POV, one that got too attached to the person they’re haunting

They feel devastated seeing their obsession leave, as if it was a betrayal. The "would you use me like i did you? Oh you WOULD too" i think would be about the neighbor catching them and confronting them. They claim the neighbor would have done the sane, justifying it to the neighbor as much as themselves. Or maybe not a confrontation, just them imagining how they'd defend themselves .

i don't even like this song that much, i keep listening to this over and over again because of ryan's vocals. his voice is enough to physically kill me
I think this song is about a person who is close or knows the other person that they are talking about. They can see how this person is going through a lot of mental issues and can relate. They are saying throughout the song that they experience the same things and that they are there for them.
it's 2018 but I still love this song
I feel like this song is about a person that you used to be familiar with and consider a friend, but after some traumatic incident, you slowly grow estranged with them and over time, only becomes a neighbour to them. The lines "I feel I know you" and "I saw you go through hell" could be a reference to a time that you knew each other, but the intimate memories have faded and in the end, the person is moving away and leaving you.
This song is a bop but suddenly I'm closing my windows 😃
Lyrics:
I am your neighbor I can see you
I got these blinds that I peek through
And when you're crying
I see your tears fall down
They're making oceans
That in I
Sink and drown
I feel I know you
I feel I know you well
I've seen you go through
I've seen you go through hell
I was there when you
First let euphoria
Spill on your bed sheets
I could feel
What you felt
Do you feel used?
Well I would too, I would too
And would you use me
Like I did you?
Oh, you would too
I am your neighbor
I can hear you
I got this tin can
With a string through
And when you're crying
I hear your shaky breath
And when you're lying
I hear your heart confess
Time's slipping away
'Cause I see your moving signs everyday
You got your things in your boxes
Your oven's always cold
You'll leave me all alone with just an
Empty peep hole
Do you feel used?
Well I would too, I would too
And would you use me
Like I did you?
Oh, you would too
Personally, I don't think it's about an actual stalker. I think it's about being in love with someone that is not in love with you anymore. You're still looking at them, feeling their every move and emotion, but they don't really see you anymore. You don't exist for them as they exist for you, and you just kinda remain in an one sided relationship: "Time's slipping away
Cuz I see your moving signs everyday
You got your things in your boxes
Your oven's always cold
You'll leave me all alone with just an
Empty peep hole"
Also, that's why the narrator feels so deeply what the other person is feeling - a 'normal' neighbour wouldn't be able to feel so much ("I feel I know you well").
But hey, it could actually be about a stalker. Or about something totally different. That's why I love Mother Mother. Their lyrics are always so versatile.
i love this five-headed rooster so fucking much you dont even know
I like to believe that the rooster is singing and each head has its own voice
*_petition to make famous and overrated people do some exposure for mother mother on social medias_*
Dunno i just thought about this bc u know
People sayin that they're underrated
You kinda got your wish because of their tiktok
Words cannot express how much i love this song
When I hear this song, I feel like someone i know and love died infront of me.
I think this is about a creepy ex lover. Because he mentions that he's stalking her, yet he also mentioned that"would you use me like I did you?". So he's basically her creepy ex lover that won't leave her alone.
Their music isn't that obvious in it's meaning. I don't think that's it.
This song kinda reminds me of a dream I had long ago, where a girl in an abusive family finds a door to a parallel dimension and it leads to the bedroom of a boy with a good family and they become friends.
This is art with all those interpretations
im starting like this band tho-
their musics ARE BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLLLLL
im feeling soo happy thank you soo much---
I don’t know why but I see this as coming from a friend who’s desperate to help their friend but can’t and feels like they’re going insane while watching hopelessly
banana gremlin
@@noodlethedoodle6174 thank you middle the doodle, for your truly insightful words and contribution to this conversation./s
@@ShadyBun yeah sorry i couldn’t help my self
@@noodlethedoodle6174 it’s not an issue dw
My take on this- This is from the perspective of the ghost from Ghosting; watching the living being and becoming infatuated with them in every way
Finally, a comment about a pov of a ghost. Good to know I'm not the only one who interprets the song like this.
I wouldn't mind if he was my neighbour
sAME
I love this song sm
I feel like this is about when someone feels that the body they own is not them, like if they are a random soul inside a random body, not in the dysphoria way, but in the dissociative way and they feel like this for so much time that star to feel like the other person in the body is supposedly ignoring them or something like that
Esta es mi canción favorita de todo el disco, cuando la escuche por primera vez pensé que iba ser otra canción del montón, pero la verdad me sorprendió mucho
I love how they make such good songs that there are so many interpretations of it unlike the things you hear on the radio where all their song means is to be happy
One thousandth like, I feel proud
I freaking love mother mother
Saw someone talk about how they thought this song was about how people are always looking into other people's lives and seeing all the shit they have to deal with, but instead of making moves to connect with the other person they just watch claiming they "know what it's like." The other person can end up feeling used only to make the people around them feel better.
Honestly, I don't know if that's the actual meaning of the song, but it's the meaning I find the most connection with. Sometimes it can really feel like no one cares about you, but the song is especially uncomfortable when they bring to light that you yourself are no different. Not many people really would reach out in a compassionate way that you want people to do towards you.
ever time i hear it i love it more
I'm still not sure what this song is, but my theory is that this "neighbor" is actually our parent. I think that our other parent is abusive, and the "neighbor" is a bystander in this situation. I think that they may have been the target before we were born, hence why they could feel what we felt and the line 'would you use me, like I did you?'. I think this is why they were so panicked about us "leaving them alone" by moving out. I'm not completely sure about this but this is my best theory.
People take this song too literally. It feels like it’s about someone who is in love with their spouse, losing them every day to a different lover. They have been in their lives for a long time, but now they just feel like a neighbor watching them move out of their relationship while not being able to speak their mind.
“Would you use me, like I did you? Oh, you would, too?”. That isn’t a creepy neighbor line. It’s basically being in a rocky relationship. “When you’re lying, I hear your heart confess”.
This song is written too emotionally to be just about a literal stalker. It’s a very sad, romantic song.
i love mother mother songs because the comment section is always full of theories about this and that, and every theory is different
This is the best pice of music I’ve ever heard good job
honestly i would like to make an animation about this to me this song sounds like someone who understands the sadness and hurt in someone elses hurt and wants to help them but they cant and they continue to push the person who understands them the most away
me encantan estas canciones 🙏🖤
Like a good neighbor, stay over there!
I read this to the tune of "like a good neighbor, state farm is there"
Aspen_The_Captain_ t-that’s the joke
Faust! Where's Asra?
This song is amazing, but I’m gonna lock my windows, close my curtains, and look every door in the house now
Making a Jekyll + Hyde animatic with this
This is the best song im mad no one is talking about it
This and Ball Cap are this album's favorites for me
i interpret the message [NOT the song and its contents] to be about celebrities people get obsessed with and fools themselves into believing they know everything about them.
I'm actually surprised the most popular interpretation here seems to be that it's a song about some "creepy neighbour stalker" because all i see is dissociation, especially considering these suicide hints at the end. Dissociation is a coping mechanism, when somebody refers to or thinks of themselves as some other person. This explains why "neighbour" possesses some of very personal memories of someone they "watch" and generally knows too much of them. The calm melody reminds of nothing, but escapism, someone who doesn't want to face just anything negative.
Not a band I would wanna live next to... still great jams tho!!
THE KEY CHANGE... OH MY 🖤
This song reminds me of break up promise with important old friend.I cannot explain and find this reason.
Wow, a real love song.
My fav thing about mm yt is reading everybodys interpretation of every song
this would go good with the game?
I think it would go best with that one stalker website on the game where that one guy collects all the stuff she throws out and stuff
The realest song there ever was. We've all done this to some extent.
verbatim, neighbor and ghosting feel like they go together well for me.. Idk why
Honestly, in pretty much every song someone is gatekeeping it gets annoying, just stop who cares if someone came from tiktok, or came from an animation meme etc as long as they aren't being toxic it should be fine. Mother Mothers's music wasn't created to be gatekept it was created for everyone to enjoy, just please stop gatekeeping it isn't funny :(
Facts
Best song on the album. Should been the final song on it
wait this is actually terrifying
blasting this at night with my windows open so my neighbors can hear
These kinda vids need more likes with how many views it has
I was there when you first let your *furry* out
no
no
im probably give lastgangradio so much views all because of mother mother
Wow, UA-cam's auto-play just brought me here. Holy crud this is really good!
#underratedband
Yeah, I hate that.
@@emartin29 don't we all, they're super talented, but have so little attention in comparison to other artists like them
@@Chi-zc8ds I don't like TicToc, but honestly, they have a little bit more fame thanks to it, and I guess that's good.
This song kind of reminds me of the strange and random attraction I get to a completely random person and how I feel so involved in their life even though I’ve never met them. I’ve had this happen to me several times and I find it really miserable that they will never know I exist.
