"You probably can't understand but for me life is bland and I have this constant hollow feeling" "I ain't what I used to be so don't shed a tear from your window I died a long time ago this just makes it official" It gets repetitive to say it but he was truly years ahead of his time. It's hell on earth when you watch and realize yourself is becoming stale and I fully understand that struggle, a lot of people take till their late 20s or early 30s to get burnt out on life. It comes and goes in waves after you hit that point but man he was so young here. He was finally wrong about something though. He left a lot of people behind, a lot of people truly miss him. Idk if anyone else feels the same way but I feel like if you understand what larson says 90+% of the time then you're in the group of real, logical thinkers and the most of us will understand his mental torment and appreciate his hustle to share and bring us all together in a way. I mean the man has said everything I think of in a way that I could never dream of going about it. A true legend, a true loss. But all goes on and his thoughts will influence many more than he could ever know. His messages didn't go out as far as we would like cause society today just doesn't want accept these facts but they surely didn't fall upon deaf ears.
Yes exactly i am with you 100%..man when it comes to Eyedea i always cry no matter how hard i try not to but the thing is i didn't even hella know Eyedea till a couple months ago and now its like I've been there with him forever man its just terrible how fast he had to die he was so young and very intelligent
+Magcon Foreverr I feel you on that. I'm only 23 now and he was gone a few years before I would find him. Sometimes its like I lost my only role model honestly. I know that Mikey was big up on being YOU but he was so much like us that he could guide us without me even realizing it yet. At this point I usually steer clear of the Confucius music of my desperate times of searching as I I've had the lessons rapped through my head about a million times but from time to time I'll find myself back here making sure this shit sticks and of course paying respects to the brain pain doctor himself. I hope he was just as wrong about death as he was about the image of his own because I'd like nothing more than a few hours with the man who didn't even know he had my life drawn out on paper. I mean dude just think about it, he knew what I'd go through years and years before it'd happen of course until I'd found his music but at least I could get a basic understanding of where my mind would be at. Now that I'm 23 there aren't as many years left that mikey could've forseen and helped me through. He never left a solid "its ok" by the last album he was just as confused and frightened as before and its scary to think that I'll have one day surpassed him or will never get to hear how this stranger so belligerently connected to me feels about life. Its weird and I'm not even that stressed about this stuff anymore but the fact remains that Eyedea would've been my fortune teller for as long as we coexisted. No matter what though this was the guy who showed me how powerful relativity could possibly be and I'll respect him for it for as long as I can.
> "I mean the man has said everything I think of in a way that I could never dream of going about it." So much this. It's uncanny how skillfully he expresses so many thoughts, feelings, and experiences that I have also had. As well as exploring philosophical concepts, psychology, literary devices, music landscapes, rapping, writing, idk. The list goes on. Everyone can see a part of themselves in Mikey, and he will -definitely- never die. What he's done, and what he will do, will echo throughout eternity.
Thank you for your commitment to helping Mikey's work live on. Your contribution to the community around him has made many new fans, and helped the long time fans get their hands on the new content they so need. Much respect to you.
He knew he was a prodigy. He knew music wouldn't save him though. So intelligent...truly a tragedy. Murdered by society. I think that's clear in his writing
Thank you for posting this and continuing to share the message of his art. He and I were born just months apart, and were both born and raised in the Midwest. His music and the messages he conveyed always spoke to me deeply. Im not artist, but his work has had an impact on me as a person and his music has helped me through some tough times. He will always be missed, even by those who never met him face to face. Ive already put my order in for the CD on the BandCamp site, cant wait til it arrives.

That’s because there’s way too much substance for you too ever comprehend... I think that lil peep or xan or maybe even 69 might be more your pace 😂😂😂😂😂

Fuck yeah dude
This man made a song perfectly explaining depression and paranoia at the age of 13. What a guy, thank you Mikey.
Thank you Eyedea. You're a legend.
Long Live Mikey Michael Eyedea Larsen
This song changed my life
He knew he was a prodigy. He knew music wouldn't save him though. So intelligent...truly a tragedy. Murdered by society. I think that's clear in his writing

One of the few tracks that I either cry too, or turn of before said crying commences
Next on my list to memorize 💯
Hands down my favorite to ever do it. One of a kind, fucking genious.
A nice creepy ambient beat. Need the instrumetnal to this.
He was always talented as fuck. This song proves that. #IndieRaps
Shits fly love ya eyedea ill always listen to ur music when im down
thank you.
dudes talking bout being reincarnated through hiphop
I've decided to take destiny into my own hands
You probably can't understand but for me life is bland
And I have this constant hollow feeling
Days are cold, dark and filled with sorrow
Raining clouds from under my ceiling
Dealing with it all would take a person very strong
By the time you hear this I will be gone
Along with my existence will be a way of life for many
I gave some substance, knowledge
And in returned was used to make a petty penny
They've defeated my purpose, deleted my work
Cheated me, seated me underground and wound up bringing me to the surface
They corrupted my image, made me a negative influence
This shady world has been abusive ever since I came into it
Put here with no role models, no one to follow
I've been contorted, aborted, recorded distorted shorted
I forfeit against life, I'm a morbid maniac
Forced off this rough course, breaking the boards and making my own doors
So don't be sad when I leave because I know this is right
I can't take it, I can't fake it, I'm sick of life
I carried people through hard times and thought they were my friends
But they only stayed close to me cause it was the trend
And when I'm gone, no one will miss me
A few years will go by important people will die
And y'all will forget me
I hope the children will be alright without a proper guide
To all my loved ones and followers
Peace out at least I tried
I ain't what I used to be so don't shed a tear from your windows
I died a long time ago this just makes it official I hip hop, being of sound mind and body
Hereby request that my few prized possessions go to the following
Swallowing the facts that may be whacked by the track
Still beauty stands from stained hands and knapsacks filled with aerosol cans and fat cats
My abstract artistic energy must continue
To influence and embody the cats that are dedicated to ruining white walls
With creative strokes of imagination in the paint (splash)
I leave all my physical strength to the guardians of the floor
With their arms locked in a b-boy stance
Enhancing the culture to the more ultra-advanced acrobatical expression
Yes indeed when I leave, my presence will exist in the style
Of the few true but who knew
Smiles will persist with the changing mood
I leave my mood to the...
Musicians, turntablists, and wicked wizards of needles dusty sampling tangible vibe setting rhythm scientists
It's my verbal aspect of my that goes to those riding, vocalizing
Poetical hybrids of life and excitement
Language of the tongue
I offer all my offspring the official mission towards society
The gift of words come and get you some
Yeah the gift of words come get you some
And my positivity, creativity, originality, and history should be spread equally over all that is mentioned above
Along with my many styles, aggression, knowledge, evolution, solution, revolution, tolerance, and love
Miss ya dude.
JID probably heard this...
Great take
Like #420
Who is doing the lyrics? Is it his mom?
T.J. Hargrove Nah, I believe it's the original recording from when he was 15
@@FrankFckngWest he sounded different at the age of 15 I think this was recorded when he was at least 14
This was recommended to me as one of the best hip hop songs of all time, but uh, this isn’t very good tbh
look at the lyrics as poetry. tons of dope lines and techniques on display
Go listen to lil yachty then dude
Read the lyrics and accept and meditate on the message that's the key.. the message not the sound
@ Vaz x hahahhaa
That’s because there’s way too much substance for you too ever comprehend... I think that lil peep or xan or maybe even 69 might be more your pace 😂😂😂😂😂
