If you listen to this, you have incredibly good taste
Why thank you
Thanks :)
:D
Наиля Рахманова I agree with your sentiment
:)
I've seen some people in the comments say they don't understand how the music video is related to the song, but in my opinion, the music video corresponds beautifully with the song!!! I went kinda overboard on my analysis but here it is lol
I think the song is from the point of view of a wife who has a very controlling husband/spouse. throughout the video, clips are shown of an old timey 1950s or 1960s couple, which is symbolic, because back then, women were still expected to be submissive housewives. during the first part of the video, the couple gets married. they have made a commitment to each other, which corresponds to the "I'll pack it in, pack it in, never smoke anything, never eat anything that will compromise my health, and baby, that means you, too, that means you" part. this new commitment puts pressure on the wife, because in those days, women were expected to fulfill a certain role in the household, while the men could do whatever they wanted. the "that means you, too, that means you" part might be intended to express the wife's desire for the husband to contribute to the relationship and the family as much as she does.
in the next part, the woman is shown doing various chores, and serving her husband. she is shown cleaning, cooking, sewing, tending to the children (they have children, which are a burden on the wife, and they keep her tied down.), et cetera. at the end of the first part, it becomes more and more evident that the woman has a tense relationship with her husband, as he is shown doing things that visibly upset her.
as the video progresses, the woman starts doing leisurely activities, like biking, practicing her makeup, and horse riding. then, after that little taste of freedom, it transitions into what I assume is an old kitchen appliance advertisement. I assume the visuals in the advertisement clip are meant to show that the wife is doubting herself. she saw how fun it was to be free, but she's afraid she's not wanting what she's *supposed* to want.
she clearly doesn't want to be a submissive housewife anymore, but her husband is still trying to control her. according to the lyrics, I think the husband is limiting what kind of food the wife eats, where she goes, etc, and using lent (the yearly christian fasting period) as an excuse to deprive her of these things.
eventually, she just gets fed up with this lifestyle, and she straight up leaves him. at the very end, she is shown having fun with a new man, implying that she finally found a lover who's good for her.
Edit: i put the wrong decades. my bad
wow thank you for this!
Wow. Such a well put analysis, thank you! I didn't know "lent" had that meaning.
I think the kitchen appliance visuals are also meant to be the woman comparing herself to various appliances, like a dishwasher, an oven etc.
Acting like a machine, which is very in line with the song’s cadence
Made to do the same tasks every single day without rest and wanting to really be a person again
I reread this almost Everytime I listen to this song I love it so much😭
this is such a good analysis wow
The amount I've listened to this song within the past week is unhealthy
The only truly unhealthy amount of times to listen to this song is 0
Give it up for lent
I listened like for 3 hours
me too-
Same even this year
It's bizarre that this band isnt huge. This song slaps so hard.
exactly i cant believe this official video only has 200k views
never mind i just saw the audio version has 1m views...LMAO
In my experience, as a south american person, if the song isn't as easy as "move your booty" and needs you to have reading comprenhention... it won't be listened as much as if it was just someone blabbering some catchy stuff (a good example is bad bunny)
Totally agree! Today I’ve heard this song for the first time - and it’s ten years old already! Why we missed this gem 😢
All of there stuff is rockin❤️❤️❤️❤️
"Give it up, give it up, give it up, fräulein."
Every time.
Shit, I'm not the only one who heard it as such! Low-key still sing it as such tho
Can never unhear this. Thx.
Oh my gosh I thought it was that too
That is it right fraulen means in rough translation woman
"Unihearse"
I hate when a song is awesome, yet no one has ever heard of it
sometimes it''s good, it means you'll find people with only good taste in music if they like it.
@@-bismark trueeeee!! Tho it's sad that the song I listen to everyday..people doesn't even know about.cuz this music is poggs
I love what u hate xD i always hope, my favorite songs never become a trend or sth, bc trends are so temporary:/
I just found this song and makes me mad that I've listened to autoheart before but never listened to this >:(((
hey algorithm sometimes ain’t generous okay 😔
I listen to this song everyday, sometimes back to back. It's so catchy, I even dreamt of it. Obsessed.
Yay I'm not the only one!
Same it’s just too good
You know what’s wild? You wrote this comment 8 years ago…I found Autoheart 2 days ago! How have I not heard of them before this?! Sheer brilliance!!!
HAHAHA
Honestly that’s perfectly reasonable 😙
Lyrics:
Should I stay,
Should I go,
Should I run far away to the point Where I can't even see the universe.
I know I'm killing time and baby
That's not fine
I'll pack it in
Pack it in
Never smoke anything
Never eat anything that will Compromise my health
And baby that means you too, that means you.
It's impossible to pinpoint
You were like a fat joint
I cannot remember
You back in November
Never going to allocate
All of this dark hate
Stuck in the middle
In the middle of it.
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
For Lent
Take a break
Pack it in
Take it out to the bin
Isn't it counterfeit
Take a hit
A little bit
Wasn't it not worth it
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't wanna even know
Why you haven't sold
Our band of gold
Isn't it counterfeit
Take hit a little bit
Wasn't it not worth it.
Slip up
Faux Pas
When we blunder
All I see
Is another thunderstorm
Brewing above the house of anarchy we share
When we have a visitor
They are visibly disturbed
They don't wanna hang around in the company of you and I
And I don't blame them one iota
No I don't
It's impossible to pinpoint
You were like a fat joint
I cannot remember
You back in December
Never gonna dissipate
All of this black hate
Stuck in the middle
In the middle of it all
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
For Lent
Take a break
Pack it in
Take it out to the bin
Isn't it counterfeit
Take a hit a little bit
Wasn't it not worth it
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't wanna even know
Why you haven't sold our band of gold
Isn't it counterfeit
Take a hit a little bit
Wasn't it not worth it
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't wanna be your personal assistant
You’ll meet my resistance everyday--oh
What’s it gonna take
To make it crystal clear to you
We are through
I’m angrily surprised at you
I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna
Be like this back then
Yes maybe - now it’s crazy
We’re not good for one another
No
no
no
I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna act like this
You know I wanna be free
I want to be free
I want to be free
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up for lent
Take a break
Pack it in
Take it out to the bin
Isn’t it counterfeit
Take a hit
A little bit
Wasn’t it not worth it
I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna even know
Why you haven’t even sold our band of gold
Isn’t it counterfeit
Take a hit
A little bit
Wasn’t it not worth it
Whoah
Thank you so much
the video makes the song even better, didn't know that was possible
The driving at I want to be free is so perfect
This came out 7 years ago and it’s still one of my all time favourite songs
Spotify just told me that it was my favourite song of 2020 and it helped me the most during the tough times. Couldn't agree more.
This song is 10 years old, WHY I’ve only heard it for the first time ever today,! Such a great one!
I just heard this song yesterday... I'm listening to it on repeat till I hate it... only problem... I dont think I ever will XD
hate it yet?
@@0ctopus4 I think not:)
Hate it yet, it's been a while 💀
I hope you forgot about this song and just remembered it because of me lol
with a song like this, its hard not to want so much more attention for the artist, but then again, having a song fill a niche and only be known to a small portion of people is like crack.
that being said, NEVER GATEKEEP MUSIC!! Music is for everyone! especially a masterpiece like this
I impulsively recommend this song and band on the daily.
This song is about bad\toxic marriage, isnt it?
like all art, interpretation is up to the interpretor. It could be about self control, if you change the priority of importance in the lyrics. It could be about a crumbling friendship, or one that is being rebuilt. Someone else could probably come up with something else that could also make sense. Not that what I suggested neccesarily makes sense.
I’m pretty sure it is
It is, primarily.
yup
i imagine so
I know we are exclusively limited, but we who listen to autoheart, know the pain and know the joy. There music has bought me a lot man.
This song has been with me through my parents divorce and two breakups, Definitely my favorite song. I want to be freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
This is the most amazing thing they've done. I don't know what happened with the new album.
This and Moscow are my favorites honestly
Seth-Ezra The God of Bread stalker’s tango is great
@@sunther8041 oh I love that one too
New album is amazing, it's a really big work which takes some years. Damn, it's contains 15 songs. And have its own concept.
Oh, you're talking about I Can Build A Fire - it is my favorite album. Everything on a different level, but with its own aesthetic and vibe of 80s
My two incredible kiddos were listening to this song which drew me in from the downstairs. I just stood there staring at them with a stupid grin on my face.
I listen to music everyday as medicine now this is a new pill.
i can’t stop going back to this song , it’s hard to get tired of it
I can't believe I didn't know Autoheart existed until a few months ago, now they're all I listen to
i love this song so much, it randomly auto played 3-4 years ago and i’ve been obsessed since
Just found this song. Can’t stop listening.
I specifically remember hearing this song for the first time. I was getting dropped off at middle school and this song was playing on the radio. I made myself remember some part of the lyrics and looked them up as soon as I got home that day. Still love this song 9 years later 🥰
WHY DOESN'T THIS VIDEO HAVE MORE VIEWS??
I got really excited when I heard this in the background of an ad.
I love it when the music vid does the song so much justice omg
i once listened to this song for four hours on repeat with no breaks
favorite song at the moment, they need more recognition!!!
woah
How have I only heard this absolutely beautifully song today.
Literally. I just discovered it yesterday lol
Found this song when I was hitting a low point in my life
Found it in my Spotify recommended 🤯
I'm obsessed with this song
x2
i want to listen to this song for the first time again
Me too
I loved this song to begin with just listening to it, but watching the music video now, it begins to haunt me.
I love this song so much. I’m never sick of it. It’s so good
I hadn't realised this song had come out for download and I'd been waiting soooo long for it! I first heard this song when they put in on MySpace years ago!!! LOVE IT!!! Downloaded and listened to obsessively, I may add :-D xx
This song really got me brave enough to confront and leave a relationship.
This song is in the top 10 of my 2023 recap! 🎉🎉❤
all the lyrics in the comments i tried to sing were wrong so im sending this to try and sing at 5am again

yo how the fuck did this fly under my radar for so long
This song cured my pandemic depression, thank you!
thanks spotify :)
Aha same! Thanks spotify :D
Same ! Best recommendation ever
Serious shame that this only has 7,800 views.
The chances of you seeing this are slim but it has 238K views now. I still consider that low
@@the1andonlycakelover57 It now has 900k!
I remember the first time I listened this. It’s been two years, but this song is still my favourite one. Back than I was suffering from the painful breakup. I ended the most long-lasting relationship I ever had, toxic and destructive one. Although I already had a new gf at that moment (we’re still together and I love her with all my heart), I used to question myself all the time. Did I make the right choice? What if my ex gf won’t get through it without me? What if I should’ve try a little bit harder? And then, this song popped up in my recommendations. It was like a punch in the face - in a very best way possible. There’s no other song that feels so close to me. Even the November and December mentioned in the lyrics, it’s that time of the year when I visited my ex for the last time the year before. What am I trying to say, this song did really let me know that I want to be free, I NEED to be free. All three of the 'Lent' single songs (this one, ‘Foolishly Wrong' and ‘Stalker’s Tango') became my therapy. You guys, I have no words to say how thankful I am to you.
I’m sorry for venting, I just really love this song, this album and this band.
This song is absolutely brilliant. You guys need to go on tour and come to Scotland :)
this is one of those songs that gets even better every time you listen to it, seriously never gets old
This song is addicting
I could listen to this song all day, every day, and I don't think I'd ever get sick of it
Congrats on getting the backing in a commercial! I assume you guys are proud of that
what commercial and what song?
Só agora descobri Autoheart!? 😮 Apaixonei-me 😍
I cant belive this song is 10 years old
This song makes my brain go brrrrrr
*Ive listened to this over 50 times today, and I found it today*
What the heck I really love this song and it’s 2024 ♥️
why did it take 10 years for this banger to enter my ears
does anyone else keep hearing this song in the background of an adt advertisement called "technology that adapts with you" or is that just me???
I think it is on that add yeah
Made the mistake of speeding it up to 1.25x after drinking a coffee. I’m almost sure I’ll never feel this inspired and full of life again. Oops.
Damn I feel like I drinked coffee
Thanks for the idea
Idk why it took me so long to find the music video for Lent but it's just as good as the song holy crap
I don't have words for how good this song makes me feel, it's such a euphoria
I just discovered this song, and I’m literally crying so much, this made me so sad for my future
THIS SONG WAS THAT LONG AGO????
it sounds obsessive (verses allude to the singers partner not wanting to break up even though the relationship is truely done for), panicky and broken all at the same time. love it.
im glad instagram started giving me a bunch of ads with this song cause GOD DAMN IT'S SO GOOD
This song is SO addicting!! I love it! ♥
i just found this song this month and im obsessed, ive listened to it countless times and it sucks that it doesnt have more recognition but its kind like our own lil community here
This song is so catchy and fun to sing along to, Ive been listening to it non stop lately
Yep, added to my Top 1000 of all time!
holy fucking shit this song was already great but the music video works with it so beautifully to elevate the whole experience... I'm lost for words and I refuse to elaborate
The Spanish Inquisition 😩
@@B_H_J Want to explain that comment? I've been waiting a year.
@@JohnusSmittinis I don't remember this comment at all and I have no idea what it is supposed to mean 😭
@@B_H_J Darn. We'll never know 🤣
Lent 2024 just started so I'm back. This song is perfect
The hard part is discerning what is stock footage and what was shot new for this video. Bless
My vocabulary after listening to this song: 📈
the editing on this is so fantastic! i know this is an old song but it’s new to me and i can’t stop listening to it!
This song has gotten me through the past few months tbh
same bro
One of those songs I cant skip and one of the few I'll sing along to. It's perfect
Oh my god I’ve been looking for this for so long
Listening to this during lent
Woah. Just stumbled on this it's so good!
i knew i would love it before the first chorus started... this is amazing!
I used to listen to this all the time a couple years ago. Whenever I listen to it, it makes me feel....things. not nostalgia necessarily. Just a lot of feelings.
It's a great song.
First off… if Oingo Boingo and Erasure had a love child… it would be this… right here. Secondly, I discovered this song right after my ex-wife and I separated at the start of ‘22… and this has given me life ever since. I may be late to the game here… but thank you for this.
Kinda get Tally Hall vibes, I love it
I was thinking the same thing!
You guys would like Will Wood and the Tapeworms, Miracle Musical and Lemon Demon
I'm glad other people felt it too! I love both Lemon Demon and Tally Hall/ Miracle Musical.
Autoheart + Tally Hall + Lemon Demon in a playlist slaps SO HARD!
i put this song every day, great song😀
This is my happy to listen to when I’m stressed out
this is the first song i listened to when i got high for the first time and it freaked me tf out i was alone in the house bc my sisters ditched me and told me just to get high so i did and listened to this for like an hour bc i was just so mesmerized and i started crying i guess bc of built up emotions and was like omg this is so me when i was burned out i listened to it again and a deep haunting feeling filled me so i can never listen to this again without feeling intense existential dread for some reason
Amo demais essa música ❤
If you're still here you're a legend😌💅✨
You'd find me here, always, in the comments of autoheart, they are legit dope i swear
This video & the majority of comments are from five years ago, I only just realized the was a video for this epic song.
Absolute JAM!
This song and music video is encouraging me to quit the things that make me unhappy.
i adore this song so much
This song SLAPS
this song itches the best parts of my neurodivergent brain
This was my first song that introduced me to autoheart.
Fun video. Great song. Love the lyrics and beat.
This song is awesome woa
2023 who else here ?
This was 11 years ago? Holy shit
I've spent atleast three years looking for this damn song, all I could even remember was something about the artist using a pink rabbit thing on some of their songs, then here it comes just strolling through my recommendations ffs.
J'adore votre groupe
Oui! Ils sont fantastiques, n'est-ce pas?
oKAY THE DRAWLED ‘UNIVERSE’ AT THE BEGINNING GAAVE ME CHIllS
SAME I love that part
This is awesome!!
This was my favorite song in 5th grade.
Holy shit, King boo
