    "What happens to the little girl?" My interpretation is she is leading him to the light. That is his real life daughter.

    • @zeromatica
      @zeromatica 4 роки тому +31

      It’s his daughter. In all his videos / recent songs it’s his way of showing his battle with depression and past addiction. She has been a rock for him and anytime he feels like he’s losing control she’s always there to bring him back to reality and settle him back down. Hence why he was the werewolf type thing and then back to normal when she grabs hold of him. She’s always there for him and him for her.

      @tristantknight 3 роки тому +2

      I agree with her being the light..as you notice in the video she is next to him, then afterwards she standing by the doorway that's emanating bright light. That's a metaphor in itself that I think many people and all reactors i've watched have missed.

    “I’m a liar, I’m a cheater, I’m a non believer” is what other people call Ronnie because he is a pretty controversial person. The metaphor is all these people attacking him and calling him these things, it pushes him to the edge and turning him into what they think he is, a “Popular Monster”. If that makes sense

    When I first heard this, I started crying because of how relatable it is. I feel numb every day, and sometimes when I check the mail, I cross the road not caring if a car hits me. It’s hard to describe. I’m trying my best to be more open about it. This song has helped me a lot.

  • @Tethmes
    @Tethmes 4 роки тому +211

    This will be somewhat of a lengthy comment, sorry lol... First of all, FANTASTIC breakdown of the song. One of the best and most astute reactions I've seen on it. You even picked up on things you didn't even realize, such as the name of the band. They used to be a lot more poppy back in the day. You wanted my sub brother, you got it.
    Next up, just to get this part out of the way, has to be the trilogy. I'll be very much looking forward to see if you catch the way the story weaves together between them on your first time through. In order: Losing My Mind, Losing My Life, Drugs. (very important, watch them to the very end.)
    After those, I also highly suggest The Drug In Me is Reimagined, which is the reimagining of one of their songs from 2011, The Drug In Me is You. If possible, watch them back to back so you have context on the pretty significant differences between the two. This will also let you hear him a decade ago to see just how much the music has changed.
    Now, to answer a couple things from this video for ya: Yes, the tattoos are real. He's super inked up. Also, the little girl is actually his daughter, Willow. She's popped up in his songs periodically over the last few years, generally as the anchor bringing him back to reality in the narrative, which is sort of what you saw here.
    Also, don't be surprised if Ronnie reacts to your reaction... he does that on his stream from time to time. ;)
    I think that's it for now. Have a good one, stay safe, and definitely keep up the good work here!

    • @ROOKCAST
      @ROOKCAST  4 роки тому +46

      Wow.. first off, thank you so much for taking the time to type this out. I’m really happy my breakdown is being received well by the hardcore fans of the band, it’s always nerve-racking reacting to something completely new because you have no context for anything. So I truly appreciate that you liked it.
      Second, I love the insight here. Like I said in the video, I definitely want to react to more of their stuff because this one was phenomenal. I think doing something like a series of reactions on the “trilogy” would be the best place to start. I really want to understand the band more because they clearly have so much depth to them.
      Thank you for answering the tattoos and little girl questions!! I assumed it was someone important but I had no way to know for sure. I love that she brings him back to reality at the end. Also, I can’t imagine how long those tattoos took in the chair 🤣

      Rook Reacts as someone who has been on both sides of the spectrum, it’s 100% true on how someone so broken would come to the conclusion of crashing just to feel anything. That’s pure numbness. I too have experienced this and fortunately for me I survived that accident. To anyone hurting, stay strong. The best is yet to come, just wait.

It blows me away that this was a first time listen and you caught everything that the song was portraying. Ronnie Radke is an absolute genius and writes every part of every song they put out from the ground up. Every other reaction hits on the energy but you absolutely nailed the feel. Thank you for this

      That line there...... two years ago I was drunk as fuck driving home, I was listening to some depressing song, I wasnt in a good spot in my life. Literally held my foot down on the gas, ended up crashing into a bunch of trees. I was cut out of the car and airlifted. This was the first song by falling in reverse I've listened to. And holy fuck, those few words slapped me right in the fucking face.

    it’s just… pure inspiration, ugh. i couldn’t even tell you how many times i’ve heard his song and/or watched the music video… it’s actually inspired a lot of poems in my collection, too. lots of ronnie’s songs have. on days i feel like shit, i’ll just read through the musics and i’ll feel comforted, lol.
    “every single fucking day i get closer to the grave, i’m terrified, i fell asleep at the wheel again, crashed my car just to feel again”
    i legit SOBBED the first time i heard that. this is teaching me on so many planes. strangely enough, this is so comforting to me.🥰 kinda wanna go write some poetry now after months and months of ‘creative malfunction’, lol. thank you for these videos.🤍

    Talking about the line "Crashed my car just to feel agian," you're spot on. A few years back I was in a dead-end job with terrible managers and a terrible atmosphere that utterly obliterated all sense of self-worth and value I had, made me cynical and hateful, and burned up all of my patience.
    There were many days driving home from work where I would think "...you know, I could just crash my car right now, and maybe then I'd feel some kind of meaningful...something..."
    That line blew my mind the first time I heard it.

    The 'three songs at once' is exactly how my depression of 30 years makes me feel. One voice telling me to do something, one saying there's no point because I won't see it through and the last one telling me to you-know-what. I would not still be here without this sort of music. It just absorbs all the darkness and pain and hopelessness from my soul and lets me smile again.

    I watch a LOT of reaction videos to this song because I really enjoy seeing how much enjoyment people get and the ride they take through all the facets of the song - but this one is my absolute, hands down, favorite reaction. Your video is over a year old now (so this comment is a little late) but the way you really listened and broke down the lyrics, as WELL as watching the video and trying to put it all together is not something everyone does.
    Most importantly, it's always wonderful to hear someone be open to discussing their own struggles as you did, as well as seeing someone pick up on such hard-hitting lines as "crashed my car just to feel again". Great reaction 👍👍 Definitely earned a sub

    I connect to this song on many levels bc like ronnie I suffer depression. The part about crashing his car just to feel again is actually coming from a depression point where some people during a depressed state start to feel numb emotionally n sometimes physically that they cause themselves physical pain just to feel something again n not be numb. This song is soo relatable to so many people n I for one love it to death 😍

Then 'The drug in me is you" and "The drug in me is reimagined" (the same song, 2011 and 2020 version). My personal favourite is "Alone". All Ronnie's songs are about his life.

      Honestly the feedback means way more than you realize. I wanted to do my best to be as genuine as I could. It means so much that that is being received on the viewing end of things. So thank you for taking the time to tell me that!
      I think going along with what Tethmes suggested, I might start next with the “trilogy” and maybe do a series of reactions in those, then work into some of the ones you listed here.
      I really enjoy this background info. I obviously had no idea he had/has another band, as I’m completely new.
      I couldn’t believe how talented he was while I was reacting to this. Just brilliant.

      God I Am wow, I deeply appreciate that. Thank you! Obviously I enjoy the channel growing so quickly but the thing I appreciate the most is being able to connect with you guys in the comments. Music has a way of connecting people and relating them and I think that’s what I’ve enjoyed the most so far. I’m noticing Falling in Reverse seems to have a great hardcore fan base as well. So I’m hoping the video will be able to reach them and it’ll drive even more community around it.

I guess it's easy to say you did a fabulous job because I ended up having a conversation with you as you were commenting throughout the video. You soooo had me intrigued. I've watched other reaction people but they make me laugh, etc., but you really broke this down super well, hats off to you. I love this song and can totally relate because of the frequent frustrations with the not-so-bright people I deal with daily......this music is my outlet! So glad your channel came to visit me!

    This is a great breakdown of these lyrics!! His lyrics and vocal abilities are what always drew me to his music, and you breaking down the lyrics in a mental health prospective- that made me really happy to see an empathetic interpretation that focused on the content. Some of the reactions I've seen haven't shown the kind of understanding of the words being stated in these lyrics-beyond a surface level of acknowledging good lyrics. He just has so much emotion between his lyrics and his vocals that I love to hear another person recognize and break that down to the depth it is at!
    "Crashed my car just to feel again" got the feels when you pointed out that lyric.. Did not realize that was the lyric till now..

      @@ROOKCAST Really depends on the mood i'm in. Sometimes there are moments where i need to push myself a little bit up. In these moments i often hear funny bands like Eskimo Callboy (Hypa Hypa for reference). Sometimes there are aggressive moods where i just scream the fuck out to Slaughter to Prevail (Demolisher for reference). And there are times i just enjoy falling back to the 80s with Don Henley or old Metallica songs or Phil Collins. It depends on the mood and if i buy the authentic of a musician. This could also be rap, just to close the circle. Love Eminem for his overall work, he's a monster (pun intented) and godzilla :D this dude is older then me but is rapping at super sonic speed compared to me. I like rap too, bit this dude is just out of my scale. He definatly skipped school lessons for that, so much to train for that. There are great musicians out there who actually have to share a story, we should all be more listen to that and take our time to understand the message, or just sharing the fun the musician had performing his song (at this point Devin Townsend with "Why" for reference") Hope i could help you out. Now you got a shitload to listen to ;) Greetings from germany :)

    I feel like to fully understand the lyrics you need to know is history. His first band broke up when he went to prison and struggled with drugs. After he was released he formed falling in reverse. In the beginning they struggled because of his past the band wasn't thought of highly even though their music was good. He was see as a monster because of his past and it was something he really struggled with and the only light at the end of the tunnel for him was his daughter. She grounded him and brought him back to reality as seen in the video. It really reflects a lot of what he went through during his career as an artist.

    Hey, man! Great reaction! Greetings from new Russian subscriber! This song is REALLY relatable for me because I went through almost the same things, Ronnie sing in this song. From August 2019 till January 2020 I go through strong depression, when I almost wanted to end myself. I don't wanna do anything and don't wanna see anyone. It was the half an year, with the most struggles.... heaviest shit in my life. And it was the main reason, why I declared 2020 the year when I start to change myself both mentally and physically. And I want to admit, that's to this day I almost turned myself upside down and changing myself from depressed "non-believer" to an actual person who can describe themselves as an a bit ignorant to the problems but still happy man))) Have a two suggestions for ya, from Japan SiM - Who's Next. Band plays a mix of ska punk, Reggae rock and post-hardcore, and Crossfaith - Monolith. They plays in metalcore/electronicore genre. Hope you enjoy it)))
