Hey! I love doing these deep-dives because it makes me appreciate the songs even more! I'd love to hear your thoughts on Animosity and which songs you'd like me to cover next!

ua-cam.com/video/8ndRhCk38Ho/v-deo.htmlsi=ZaxMh1oOag5Ay7jw..hey check it out .They are on shiprocked playing with Michael Starr of Steel panther .
Nena! Your analysis of all The Warning songs are spot on. Couldn't agree with you more!!
ANIMOSITY is a sparkling lyrical diamond on an album full of absolute gems
YES!!!! The album is absolute Perfection. I can't imagine a better album, but I'm sure they are going to blow our minds with the next one!
They were on the Shiprocked cruise last week and played it. The next morning it was Mayday, Mayday as a storm crashed the ship into a dock causing damage. They were delayed 8 hours. They did a 2nd show on the cruise a few days later and they led off with this song. To end the cruise they do an all star jam featuring members of the 30 or so bands on the cruise. The Warning got the honor of doing the shows encore with Michael Starr of Steel Panther.
Wow! That is a crazy story! I would have loved to have been on that cruise! Love all the opportunities they've been given lately - so well deserved!
My favorite line. If karma doesn't hit you then I will.
So clever! 😊🤘🏻⚡️
I love that line
Nena - you nailed it in your interpretation of the "fake funerals for all my friends" section. This is exactly what they explained - except that it was written by Paulina. This is about a friend who told her that she should just hang out with them because the band was a waste of time and they would never amount to anything. Or something along those lines. And, in typical Pau fashion, she wasn't having any of that and took her "pau-er" back with scathing lyrics. Terrific video, as always! Truly hope you can get to their newest single, S!ck - that deserves an analysis by you!
It spends so long that I saw the clip that I had forgotten it was Pau, but that makes perfect sense! I love her clever way of having her voice heard artistically while addressing haters 😊😂. She is a force to be reckoned with! Thanks for sharing!
It is common wisdom that you should not cross Pau, or you shall be immortalized.
I’ve been wondering where fans got this from. Is this a video on Patreon? Or from an interview?
One messes with Pau at one's own risk.
@@KOOL_AID_KIDNeither. It is part of fan lore and because of this song that Pau might write a song about you if you piss her off.
My granddaughter tells me that “ship” is also short for “relationship”, so I think that Pau’s mastery of poetic figurative language and metaphors is at use here, and she’s saying both a figurative Ship, and an actual relationship that are both sinking, therefore the need to utter “mayday, mayday”. Love your analyses.
Brilliant!!!! I hadn’t considered that! Very impressive possibility! 😊🤘🏻⚡️
@macgherhardt - give you granddaughter a Scooby snack! Very insightful!
Pau's brain is on a different level
Absolutely! She is amazing!
I think Pau is from another planet, LOL!
@@psychologyofrock All 3 are amazing. My favorite is Ale. She's quiet but one hell of a bassist. Her thunderous bass is heard in every song!!
The story I remember hearing is. A friend of Pau’s had a birthday party/sleepover. Pau went to the birthday party. But The Warning had a concert so she had to leave and not do the sleepover. Monday when Pau got to school she found out that the birthday girl had bad mouth Pau and said Pau was wasting her time since the band was never going anywhere. Don’t piss Pau off she will write a song about you.
I bet that woman that little girl grew up to be regrets that now since she would have a Rock Star as a friend if she had just kept her mouth shut. But we as fans she think her for causing this great song to be written.
I love how she uses her life experiences and observations as inspiration. A true artist!
If I were friends with these 3 girls, I wouldn't care if they were rockstars. I think their personality, friendship, and love of life would be more than enough.
Pau's former friend also stated "girls don't play drums."
What a joke! She definitely proved them wrong, and went on to win awards for drumming and to be a member of a band that is taking over the world! ⚡️🤘🏻😊
That’s hilarious! Pau plays drums better than at least 90% of male drummers out there.
Indeed!
So he was ex-ed by her for a very good reason. Well done, Pau!
Reminds me of the awesome Sheila E.!
She always heard that even after a lot of successful albums and performing with the best, e.g. Prince and Tito Puente.
We have to give her a huge THANK YOU for paving the way for Pau and other talented ladies
This is Paulina's very personal song about a betrayal and a friendship that went bad.
⚡️⚡️⚡️
Very nice, I enjoyed your lyrical analysis! I think Pau wrote the lyrics about an ended friendship. Careful if you harm these ladies, they'll write songs about you (Narcisista, Animosity)... 😉 I'm already curious about an analysis of the new single SICK... you will notice a lot of contradictions from the video to the lyrics (the colour pink, Pau doing Asian girlish moves whilst singing "Give me violence", screaming the word Silence", the smashed fly...). Maybe Sick would be interesting for you. Thanks a lot, greetings from Germany! Their Euro tour in April is on the edge of being sold out! 19 shows in 9 countries, many venue upgrades due to the overwhelming demand, and still close to be sold out! 👍🤘
Thanks so much! I completely agree that S!ck would be a fascinating song to cover. I disagree with those say the song isn’t deep, I think there is actually a lot there. It’s likely to be my next analysis! 😊🤘🏻⚡️
And all those shows in the month of April. Their bus better not break down.
I've seen this band in concert 8 times. They are everything that you can imagine and more live, however, what sets them apart from other bands is their songwriting. I believe at one point in the future, people will write books about the genius behind Paulina's mastery of storytelling. She's completely on another level.
I completely agree!!!
Lyrics by Pau, and Dany made sure she understood what Pau meant so she could do them justice.
Interesting! I’d love to hear yhem discuss this - is there a clip somewhere? 😊
@@psychologyofrock Dany speaks about how she interprets and ultimately performs Pau's lyrics with utmost emotion in an interview with Allison Hagendorf. If you watch the full interview go to timestamp 29:39 with Dany's explanation.
Thank you so much! I look forward to watching!
It's easy to forgive, it's hard to forget.
Well said. ⚡️🤘🏻
The lyrics were written by Pau.
Thank you so much for letting me know! I was curious. She did a great job as always! 😊🤘🏻⚡️
Awesome review. I love this song because I can be one of those “can’t let it go” types.
This is Pau’s song & to the best of my knowledge is “based” on that friend who told her to quit music cuz it wasn’t going anywhere. It’s a recurring theme all the way back to their EP of people telling her/them they won’t make it so why try (or her famous “drums are for boys” story from TEDx).
I love the amazing example they are setting for girls/women who want to play instruments or get into the rock scene. I'm so glad they did not listen to the "friends" who told them they wouldn't make it! Glad you enjoyed!
Awesome review, I think the "'Cause I can't let it go
No, I won't let it go" part, it's about not to quit on practicing and pursuing their musical career.
I heard this song a few years ago and immediately became a Patron. Favorite lyrics of all time. If Karma doesn’t hit then I will.
I agree! Incredible line! 😊⚡️🤘🏻
There's a video of the *"full concert"* they did on the deck stage at Shiprocked. The video starts with *"Animosity".* Which is the third song of the set. Songs *"Disciple"* & *"Z"* were later uploaded separately on the full concert video. Anyway, during the first time Dany sang *"Mayday Mayday This ship is going down".* The guy behind the camera said & you can clearly hear it *"I hope not".* 😆 That was hilarious. Since their cruise ship was involve in an accident with a pier in Jamaica.
I heard that in the video! Hilarious! :)
They are lyrical geniuses and bad ass rockstars .
YES!!!
There's a new Canadian teen rock trio that would be a great candidate for lyric analysis for their debut video single.
Band is Freeze The Fall, song is Glitch.
Inspired by The Warning, their video debuted on February 1st, and already has over 17,000 views.
interesting, I haven't heard of them, I will check them out!
@psychologyofrock
They're definitely going places! Their EP drops April 6th. The singer is 16, bassist and drummer are 15.
Wow! That’s amazing!
@@psychologyofrock Quinn, the lead singer/guitarist also plays piano and did a cover of Pau's song BREATHE. So very good!
@psychologyofrock
Quinn discovered The Warning when she was 12, and taught herself guitar by learning Dany's parts.
On the one hand, how cool would it be to have TW write a song about you. On the other hand, how terrifying would it be to live with the wrath of Pau! Nena, I always look forward to your TW analysis videos of these three freakishly talented geniuses and your still pics are always brilliant!
Hey Randy! So glad you enjoyed! Which song would you like to see next? 😊🤘🏻⚡️
@@psychologyofrock I’d love to hear your breakdown of Revenant. I’ve never heard Pau explain the inspiration for it and it seems to be a dark complex song. Thanks Nena!
It seems a bit enigmatic, but I will take another look/listen and see :) It's such a masterpiece.
Nice watch ... Thank You !! You nailed the meaning and it was Pau who penned the lyrics.... the saying goes "don't make Pau mad.... She'll write a song about you !" Cheers !!
😂 Love her!!!! so glad you enjoyed! ⚡️🤘🏻
Pretty great analysis. I think it's about the breaking up of friends, more than any kind of romantic breakup. I wonder if Pau's "non-existant world" is a reference to a video game. She used to stream her gaming on Twitch, a few years ago. I'd love to see your take on "S!ck". I saw one viewer's interpretation that there was an inverted meaning, but I lost the thread and can't put the pieces together in my head. Maybe you'll see it. LOL!
I’ve decided to do that one next - I really think it’s actually a very profound song! Thanks for the suggestion! Great call about the nonexistent world potentially being video games :-)
and they sang it in the ShipRocked
Love it! :)
Pau wrote the lyrics about a friend who told them they are wasting their time and the band will go any where! Don't upset Pau !!!! or she will write a song about you.
Lol, indeed! 😊🤘🏻⚡️
Yep this is a great song lyrically from Pau🤘Dany does a great job singing it live
Yesssss! Agree completely! 😊🤘🏻⚡️
Love this! But you left out a line after "Alive means to be dead" next line is "A bullet to the head"
I definitely don’t think it’s literal, I feel like it’s an extension of the line before, showing she’s just going through the motions because she’s numb at this point…
Hi Nena, great job as always. As far as I know, it's about Pau and her severed relationship with a female friend. I never saw that interview you mentioned so I can't help you there. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for sharing! The song makes it seem like a romantic relationship, but I think having a severed friendship could inspire a song like Animosity, especially from Pau :)
Joy! That is what happens when I see you upload a TW song because I always get an additional layer of understanding for some parts of the lyrics. Thank you!
Even with all the love Animosity receives, I still think it is underrated and I was somewhat guilty of that until I witnessed it live, then it also jumped to my top five.
They have unleashed a new song/video that I think deserves your attention: Sick.
Musically is somewhat simple, but the lyrics are fun. I bet you will enjoy it.
I love S!CK and think it is much deeper than meets the eye - it’s likely my next lyrical analysis. So glad you enjoyed the video! 😊🤘🏻⚡️
If you want to take a deep-dive into the troubled mind of a young girl dealing with extreme homesickness and feeling out of place, have a look at "When I'm Alone" - ua-cam.com/video/H1vbioHf9zo/v-deo.html
Spoiler backstory: Written by 15yo Dany as a solo homework assignment when the band attended Berklee School of Music in Boston (2015). In addition to being homesick after being away from home for 5 weeks, she was surrounded by older, English-only speakers during most of her classes, so when she was tasked to write a song during her last week she ended up writing lyrics that described her loneliness and how out of place she felt. She was initialy stumped, but ended up pouring out her soul in an overnight writing session so the song could be presented the next day. Known as "Dany's Song" by the fanbase.
Love that song! ♥️♥️♥️
This band! Beautiful women. Beautiful souls, Beautiful musicians, Beautiful minds. Blessed with a generational talent and the passion to be an all-time great act.
Perfectly stated , Ken! 😊🤘🏻⚡️
There’s probably very few of us walking this planet that can’t relate in some form to the lyrics of this song.
Pau so eloquently details what most of us have felt at some point in our lives which further reinforces the relatability that TW has lyrically to the masses despite their relatively young ages.
Dany has spoken about the responsibility she feels about portraying Pau’s intent while singing this song and as you mentioned, she nails it in typical Dany fashion.
I’m likely completely out in left field here but I always think Ale’s dramatic bass slide coming out of the breakdown is a show of solidarity with her sister in her own way besides just being musically interesting.
Great point! I can see what you’re saying! And yes, I agree the song is completely relatable 😊⚡️
Very well interpreted!
Thanks so much!
Another great video, thank you Nena 👌😎🙏🔥🎸🤘
So glad you enjoyed, Mikey! What song would you like to see next? 😊🤘🏻⚡️
@@psychologyofrock my favourite band, of all time, the doors, but I really appreciate and enjoy your video break downs 🙏😎🙏🔥🎸🤘
Any song in particular?
@@psychologyofrock rider's of the storm 🙏😎🙏
A slightly different take on the bridge.... Mayday, mayday, this (friend)ship/(relation)ship is going down. Another thought... it always gets me when, later in the album (in the bridge of Revenant) Pau sings "You can't erase what has been done - You can forgive, you can move on." Almost as if she has finally resolved the anger from Animosity. At least that's how I like to think of it.
I hadn't thought of that possibility until reading these comments. Definitely could be! Love your connection to Revenant. :)
Great Analysis Nena!
Animosity is one of my favorites from ERROR as well, but like you said, they're all great. I like these lyrics so much I requested this song for my 'Hand Written Lyrics Reward' from their Patreon, Artist and above Tiers... It's in the mail as we speak, and I can't wait to get it!!!
Wow!!!! That’s amazing!!!! 😊⚡️🤘🏻
Thank you for analysis of one of my favorite Warning song. Can you make the analysis of Martirio? The English translation of course. I read the translation and I think it is a complex and deep lyrics.
I will add that to the list! 😊⚡️🤘🏻
@@psychologyofrockConsider that the word "entrégate" can be interpreted in many ways, for example, "Me entregué al 100%- I gave my best or I gave 100% of myself), so when the lyrics says "es tu destino entrégate" to me it means "it's your destiny(everyone's destiny is to shine), "entrégate"(embrace it), that's the key word in the song.
In Spanish we have the word "rindete" to "surrender", as I am Mexican I never consider "entregate" as surrender (only in the police context, example, "estás rodeado, entregate-you are surrounded, surrender".
"This ship is going down"reminds me of Annie lenox's "why" where she uses the line "this boat is sinking". I always thought she was talking about the relationship being the boat, so I kinda thought the same about "this ship is going down" talking about the relationship
A lot of people are saying that, which is something I hadn't considered. I thought it was more of an introspective line, but I think the relationship interpretation makes sense. :)
@@psychologyofrock there's a guy that did a psychological interpretation of it months ago, he thought the same as u
really? Interesting!
Hey Nena, I enjoyed your analysis despite not being a big lyrics guy. Most of the time you could plug in the lyrics to "I Am The Walrus" in a given song and I'd be just as pleased with it. I do agree that The Warning is capable of some damn good lyrics well beyond their years. 😘
Indeed! :)
I completely agree about the bridge and the lyrics "bury the truth in the lie you created, bury yourself and remember me when you're alone" is one of my favorite lyric's from any of their songs. You hit the nail on the head with the story behind the song and the "ship" Pau was referring to being a relationship. This song was my least favorite song on the Mayday EP when it came out but it's grown on me a lot since and is now one of my top 5 favorites on the ERROR album.
That's interesting it was your least favorite at first. I am a runner and I stumbled across The Warning after the Mayday EP was released. Every day I would listen to it when running on this particular trail and when the "mayday, mayday" part came on, it was always when the trail opened up to this big meadow, and the song seemed even more majestic. :) As for "ship", I had never considered this was a slang for relationship until reading these comments, but it makes the mayday lines even more clever (although changes the tone of the bridge.) The song is a work of art!
This is also my favourite - and as an early-for-me "random" song I stumbled upon, it convinced me these girls could do no wrong. It's musically very well-written, specially Dany's guitar parts and the shifting dynamics. But what really stands out is the lyrics with their raw, honest, and ugly vulnerability.
Yes! Great points!
Awesome thanks again.. You're the best.. The Warning is the best , I'm the best, everyone who follows The Warning is the best.. 💯%TWA IS THE BEST. 🤘🎶☮️
:) The Warning have brought so many people together!
My all-time favorite song. ☻
It’s definitely up there for me as well!
somehow, i think we're on the same channel re: Animosity 😹 here's the comment i normal post for it...
Dany (guitar) works hard to get the emotion correct that Pau (drums) was experiencing when she wrote this song... *Animosity* was spawned from a childhood friendship breaking up...
basically the story is that someone said something like, "come hang out with us. that band thing won't go anywhere. why are you wasting your time?" well, you can imagine how that went over... TWA like to joke that the moral of the story is "Don't upset Pau or you may be memorialized in a song" 😹
*Fade Away* from the _"Escape the Mind"_ EP is similar to *Animosity* in that both talk about moving on after others have attempted to sully your drive and determination... i can easily see both of them being initially developed around the same time frame...
_some lyrics from _*_Fade Away_*_ :_
They told me I couldn't do it
That I would stumble and fall
I would get cuts and bruises
That I just should give up
[...]
And I'll walk, walk
Walk until the very top
And I'll run, run
Even though I stumble and fall
And I'll jump, jump
Jump until I reach the sun
And I'll shine, shine
Shine until my light fades away
TWA ⚡🤘😸🤘⚡ TWA
Great observations and commentary!
@@psychologyofrock thank you, ma'am 😹
Thanks for covering this amazing band and gut-wrenching song. It's so good!
+1 recommendation to check out Freeze The Fall. They're just starting out but they're full of passion and talent.
A few people have recommended them in the comments 😊
Another great analysis. It’s always worth breaking down their songs, there’s usually more there than meets the eye. Thanks.
Agree! They are wise beyond their years!!!
Animosity ,nuevamente un contenido inteligente de TW , este tema lo compuso Pau a un ex-amigo ,su mensaje es directo y a la cabeza ,tremendo tema
:)
If you want another Pau revenge song, take a look at Narcisista. It's in Spanish, but there are good English translations out there.
a classic, yes!
I truly enjoyed this analysis. Animosity is certainly one of my favorites, but I don't think that I could ever have the favorite. Their lyrics are so powerful that at any one time a particular song could become a favorite depending how I feel emotionally, mentally, and physically, I will put that song on repeat. I will listen to your playlist this evening. Is it in any particular order for you?
So glad you enjoyed! I agree that it is impossible to pick a favorite. As for the playlist, there is no particular order. :)
I love these videos, please keep them coming.
And yes I agree with 99% of your analysis.
So glad you are enjoying them! :)
Yes! More please! 😁
⚡️😊🤘🏻
Thank you for the great analysis !
I read in the other comments that Pau has written this song. I'd have been pretty wrong here because I'd have guessed it was Dany as the lyrics seem pretty Fe-like to me.
Picking a favorite song is really hard as they're all so amazing but I'd say Animosity is amongst my top ones too, especially as it was the one that got me hooked on The Warning.
I agree, lol! And I'm glad you love the song as much as I do!
@@psychologyofrock 🖤
Nice interpretation, but as usual TW lyrics can have other interpretations! I’m fairly sure that it was her disdain for her “friends” who slagged her off because they said that the band was a waste of time and would never go anywhere, basically because they wanted her to hang with them and she wanted to practice! Initially your interpretation was more or less the same as mine, great minds eh 😂
I agree! I also think sometimes a song can be inspired by something real, but lyrically take on a slightly different tone or meaning. Always love to analyze The Warning - such incredible art!
Animosity my favorite song :3
It’s soooo good! 😊🤘🏻⚡️

PAULINA LE DEDICÓ LA CANCIÓN A UNA AMIGA
Según he escuchado por ahí, no recuerdo bien, pero fue Paulina la que dijo que la canción estaba dirigida a una amiga personal.
No estoy seguro si Paulina lo comentó en un concierto, o en un vivo que ellas realizan en su día especial (el día especial de Pau son los sábados) o en una entrevista.
Porque recuerdo también y esto fue en un concierto que un tema muy bonito, una balada, lo había compuesto junto a una amiga.
Ahora, no sé si en Animosity, Paulina se refiere a la misma amiga con la cuál habían compuesto aquella canción juntas, o se trata de otra amiga, posterior a ésta.
Lo cierto es que Paulina es muy vísceral al componer canciones de este tipo y con una gran carga emocional.
Guay con serle desleal a Paulina porque te lo hará saber con creces. 😂
Thank you so much for sharing! :)
Hi I still think that Ann and Nancy Wilson. Love all these women

If you watch the video from their "Live Sessions", done in a recording studio in Monterrey, you will see Pau's demeanor is very different from any other performances, very much closed off and angry.
Interesting!

Moral of the story/song: Do NOT piss Pau off or you'll get a song written about you.

Absolutely 😊🤘🏻⚡️

If this is true, there is profesional psychological help out there, it will help her understand herself and move on. If is just a gimic, it’s ok.
I don't think it is about any of The Warning girls, I just think its a literary work that explores this theme :)

You missed a line. I get it, just saying...
I realized that during editing but I feel like it’s an extension of the line before
@@psychologyofrock Probably for the best. The you tube powers that be most likely wouldn't approve of the a "you know what" to the head line and would demonetize/age restrict your video. Great analysis!
