This song speaks about anorexia and eating disorder. 'I am a man, so I must be insane' gives me like stereotype that only women can be anorexic and if the men say they are anorexic, society takes them as joke or as ey are insane.
@@deaththekid6614 Yes I believe so... He suffered a lot of things like with alcohol and drugs , but I'm pretty sure one of the women did aswell and I read the thing so long ago so I cant remember but I think it was Jasmin?
I thought this would be about just an eating disorder but now it seems like it’s more about a man trying to be the “ideal man”. With the lines starting with, ‘in my design’ it sounds as if he’s trying to make himself someone he’s not.
In my personal experience, my eating disorder makes me have this ideal in my mind that is literally unattainable. To me it feels like he’s singing about both in a way if that makes sense
@@Kryssamaee i meant that not only a certain demographic (in this case, skinny white girls are the only ones that are portrayed -and not even properly but that's another story) can have EDs, not that everyone goes through it. Sorry for the misunderstanding
This is the kind of song you put on at like 3 am well you're having a mental breakdown because you're life is in a neverending spiral downhill but listening to it makes you feel a little bit better
I think that line "I'm a man so I must be insane" could also be about how 'men aren't supposed to be emotional' and so the fact he is struggling means there has to be something 'really wrong' with him (or it's just how I feel either way it's a good line)
Its seems to indicate desperation, he goes through extremes and exaggerates a smidge about social looks and how he wants to fit into them to be “attractive” to the girl he likes ofc. And he is fully aware to almost mocking it too. It does also revolve around his low self esteem aswell
I’m going on a date with a guy on the 4th. I like him, he’s nice. But I can’t help but thinking of returning to my old habit of starving. I need to look better, I’m too fat. I’m trying to accept myself. But my brain is trying to tell me he won’t like me because I’m fat. I’m scared. Edit ; wasn’t sure whether or not I should delete this comment, but he didn’t like me (how I expected.) my appearance was the reason. But lesson learnt; “when I go hungry I go hungry for the truth” I’d rather be with someone who accepts me for who I am and loves me for my past, my scars, my experiences and of course me for me. Although I haven’t completely healed, I learnt that I deserve better. We all search and search for love, for love that we could easily give ourselves but choose not to. Love yourself before anyone else does.
Starving yourself isn't going to make you any "better". You don't need to change for him at all. If you are going on a date, that means he already likes you for you, and he cares about you. And if he cares, he doesn't want you to be unhealthy with starving. Please, there's nothing wrong with wanting to look good for someone but your well being is always priority and more important than that. I understand how it is, but you have to remind yourself how important it is to take care of yourself. You shouldnt starve yourself, you are not too fat. Pls stay safe and I hope you have a good date!
Oof you should really eat, i mean i almost never eat breakfast so that part is fine at least to me but you should eat dinner not eating for a whole day it's really bad for your health
@@VeryGoodDad Yah it's really bad for you, i have friend does it for religious reasons and he hates it. it's bad it might not be as bad at first but long term of that will have some very bad effects in the future and it can lead to a lot of serious diseases like ulser and it can destroy your stomach
feels so good to have a song about boys with anorexia, i feel insane like the song says since no one will beleive me if i say i have anorexia since im also a man. I just want to be pretty and muscular like the boys at school so girls will like me
I thought so too, specially because of the first sentence... Maybe that's just one of the themes of the song, I have the feeling that in general it talks about trying to fit into the schemes of society. (edit: or into the expectatives that other put there for us)
i sing this song a lot, and it's kinda akward and sad, you see, i never get to listen or see something that explains so well the way i feel about this issues, it triggers me but i just like it a lot. sorry.
I know we don't know each other, but I'm really sorry about the relapse... Please reach out to those close to you, I know it's hard but you can get through it, it's amazing you made it two years without it, I wish you luck on recovering... Please stay safe
As a dude who has had an ed in the past and horribly body dysphoria, this song speaks to me and it's so important to acknowledge that men can get ed's and mental illnesses to. We're human too.
as a currently recovering anorexic female, im proud of you. its hard to admit something like this when you're a man. there are certain expectations. stay strong
You don't need to do that to yourself, your date must already like you for you and starving yourself won't do anything positive. You only ruin your metabolism and it affects your mental functions and is just unhealthy for every part of you overall. you can still eat and have your desirable body type, you just need to eat the right things and have a proper diet and/or workout regime if you wish. Sometimes it's hard to care for yourself, I know, but your health should come before anything. Excessive starving/exercise will only worsen the situation, it's really not good for you at all. I know we don't know each other, but from one person to another please take care of yourself and make sure to eat/drink water everyday whenever you feel hungry/thirsty. Please stay safe, and I hope your date goes well
@@glassesmorty3019 I know it's bad for me but I can't keep my thoughts in my head, it just developes into action. im seeking help but it still haunts me, the little voices in my head are always ringing.. Im trying to keep myself healthy... Thank you for the kind words, I really need them.
@@LiJun- I believe in you that you can conquer and rule over the thoughts, there's no shame in getting the help you rightfully need. If by seeking you mean you still searching, I sincerely hope you find someone or something that will help you. You are strong and you can do anything you set your mind to, and to try to keep yourself healthy is already amazing. Good luck 💕
The "sane" of insane is super distinct. And I think it makes sense, because society is very "men aren't supposed to feel things" and it's implying that he's starving himself for a girl, which would explain the "I'm a man so I must be insane"
Glassesmorty thank you! I appreciate it. But um I don’t really want pity... sorry if that sounds rude I’m not good with words. But recently I’ve found ways to cope with my thoughts and it really helps!
@@lachrymose324 If you know anybody or anyways where you could cope healthier, you should try them out and try to express yourself that way instead of the unhealthy ways, I know what it's like to cope unhealthy and it will get you no where so please I hope you find a healthy way to stick to, don't be afraid to reach out to anyone close to you
descubrí a mother mother gracias a una parodia, el tipo dice esta frase fea y luego esta canción toca de fondo xD la escena se repite en mi cabeza cada vez que la oigo...si lo se .-.
lol this reminds me of onetime in science we had to do this science thing and me and my friend were in a group with this dude and he said something about his arm and then my friend called his arm fat and then i was like “that’s mean now he’s gonna die of anorexia because u called him fat” and then i took this bone thing and i said “THIS IS GONNA BE HIS ARM SOON, KEIRA DON’T CALL PEOPLE FAT” yes i have a very dark sense of humor how do i stop doing this plz help
This song speaks about anorexia and eating disorder.
'I am a man, so I must be insane' gives me like stereotype that only women can be anorexic and if the men say they are anorexic, society takes them as joke or as ey are insane.
Also the line "I am a man and I confess I fake" alluding to feeling like a fake man because "men don't have anorexia"
I like that line where it says: "I wanna look so skinny,she wants to feel my bones against her skin."
Its "Im gonna look so skinny she'll wanna feel my bones against her skin" But i agree with you A LOT

How many anorexia songs do "Mother Mother" creates??
I know there are a lot, but it is only because one of the members suffered from Anorexia
Yes
Bee idk but I can relate at all of them
@@glassesmorty3019 was it Ryan who suffered anorexia?
@@deaththekid6614 Yes I believe so... He suffered a lot of things like with alcohol and drugs , but I'm pretty sure one of the women did aswell and I read the thing so long ago so I cant remember but I think it was Jasmin?

I think it means a lot of things. Spot on, though.
I seen it as he has an eating disorder, trying to become the perfect skinny man for this girl
sometimes eating disorders manifest themselves as a chase after one's ideal doesb't it
In my personal experience, my eating disorder makes me have this ideal in my mind that is literally unattainable. To me it feels like he’s singing about both in a way if that makes sense
I think they go hand in hand
Eating disorders affect everyone, such a great song
uhh, not everyone has an eating disorder stop spreading false information on serious topics
@@Kryssamaee i meant that not only a certain demographic (in this case, skinny white girls are the only ones that are portrayed -and not even properly but that's another story) can have EDs, not that everyone goes through it. Sorry for the misunderstanding

It's 11:30 pm and I'm doing that right now lol
How'd you know??? I'm giving up on recovery
@@JaxxyStar HAHAHAHAH SAME RIGHT NOW
WAIR A MINUTE- it's 3 am rn and doing exactly that.....
I think that line "I'm a man so I must be insane" could also be about how 'men aren't supposed to be emotional' and so the fact he is struggling means there has to be something 'really wrong' with him (or it's just how I feel either way it's a good line)
Also it could be since men don't typically have eating disorders
@@Ellie-hu9gj well eating disorders are emotional things, I like that you wanted to point it out separately though
@@jude8067 yea, as a male that had/has an eating disorder it sand out more, and I just felt like adding that view as well
@@Ellie-hu9gj completely understandable and I hope you're doing better

Wym exaggerated these are my exact thoughts 😔🧍🏻♀️
it's a song about a guy having anorexia
I love how you put some recourses in the desc for ppl who resonate with the song ❤
Camera guy: "This kid's definitely on crack right now.".
Kid: "1:39.".
Keep playing this, reaper man, and bit by bit, over and over. How did I live this long without listening to mother mother?
OOH HERE’S SOME RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MOTHER MOTHER SONGS!!
Polynesia
Oh Ana
Verbatim
Burning Pile
Wisdom
Body
:D HAVE FUN!!
“i confess i fake” related to the fact that many people with anorexia think they are faking
I really like mother mother for all the songs they make about topics that aren’t discussed much.
Anorexia, it is clear. Well, this people love to write lyrics about problems of self steem and mental issues.
Mother Mother literally did a song called Problems.
Isn't it these people
Martina it’s because it’s things they’ve been threw but their newer music is much happier compared to this
i mean calling anorexia a self esteem issue is an understatement.
@aBXANneDoned InTheUSA ...Anorexia is a mental illness
You know its getting bad again if you listen to this song on repeat

I skipped dinner and breakfast and just discovered this song. That's really weird
Oof you should really eat, i mean i almost never eat breakfast so that part is fine at least to me but you should eat dinner not eating for a whole day it's really bad for your health
@@VeryGoodDad Yah it's really bad for you, i have friend does it for religious reasons and he hates it. it's bad it might not be as bad at first but long term of that will have some very bad effects in the future and it can lead to a lot of serious diseases like ulser and it can destroy your stomach
For those who don’t eat breakfast I recommend smoothies with protein in it. They are yummy and easy on the stomach.
I hope you're doing better now:( eating disorders suck
Ok
“Thought I wrote the book on fun.. until I put it out to find I couldn’t sell a single one” oof
For a lyric video from 2016 this feels very 2008
nah, the font and the colors are 2016-like
But the spelling is 2016
Listening to this song in the hospital with a plastic tube down my throat... but hey YOLO
@@MOceanal hell no I'm in here for five months
Keep going!! I’m proud!
You doing good? 💜
This was seven months ago now but, I hope your doing better now and are out of the hospital 💚
feels so good to have a song about boys with anorexia, i feel insane like the song says since no one will beleive me if i say i have anorexia since im also a man. I just want to be pretty and muscular like the boys at school so girls will like me
I think this speaks about anorexia, but I'm probably looking too deep into this.
【Cogfell Straithe】 not sure, but oh ana definitely is
I thought so too, specially because of the first sentence... Maybe that's just one of the themes of the song, I have the feeling that in general it talks about trying to fit into the schemes of society.
(edit: or into the expectatives that other put there for us)
Most likely.
【Cogfell Straithe】 no shit
【Cogfell Straithe】 it is. Ryan wrote this as a way of coping.
i sing this song a lot, and it's kinda akward and sad, you see, i never get to listen or see something that explains so well the way i feel about this issues, it triggers me but i just like it a lot.
sorry.
It's funny that I've discovered this on the day that I've decided to purge after two years of not doing so...hehe, yeah..funny..
I know we don't know each other, but I'm really sorry about the relapse... Please reach out to those close to you, I know it's hard but you can get through it, it's amazing you made it two years without it, I wish you luck on recovering... Please stay safe

hell yeah a song about my internal monologue 24/7 n i c e
I love the descent. It’s not all pretty and they say it so… pretty.
It sounds more like
"I am a man so I must be in shape"
Rather than insane, also would male more sense with the anoraxia
Idk though for sure tho
