I think the chorus its a conversation of he and himself, your dark side, and how this dark side always is temption us to come back to the darkness
Did anyone else feel this, there was something off about that kid, something…like, uncanny valley “off”
It’s crazy because Josh directed this video, it’s so simple but at the same time deep
i just now realized the lemonade stand is a literal take on "when life gives you lemons make lemonade"
While, yes, he is Christian, not every time is he speaking a reference to God or religion. But yes, his lyrics are ALWAYS deep.
Will you be my counselor????????
Did you get the reference of the shoelaces? In jails or psych units they take the laces out so they can’t unalive themselves. The chorus sounds like he’s crying out to God!
You forget to talk about the L➿P
Man, i really think ypu should reconsider the tittle 😐
Look at the grill. He's only cooking one burger.
on 2018 "leave The City" help me from end me, the song was exactly released when i got the pull, when i was in univ almost drop out, help me staying alive and left "the city", and GOD thanks, when the pull come again on February when i got new problem related to economic issue, and that almost end me again, but this song, again! release exactly when i need it, so relatable and help me to fight the pull. yeaa i was religious, and hearing this push all my ego, push all things and praying for help to GOD, and yes indeed i should love God better. and is now the time. TOP is the way GOD help me, GOD already Throw a line for me, to help me from my depression, and give me hope for the future.
What if the buns symbolize money (lemonade stand sign) and in the beginning he had to pay which means he had to pay with something else (his mental health) in order to get all of this money which he doesn’t even care about (he throws some buns away) what he really wants is not to backslide into depression and not more money or fame
Might of missed a few things. At the start when tyler shows at the store he throws something away. At the end he had a empty bag and threw it away at the store. Hes stuck in a cycle. Getting the buns. Going through them getting where he wants to be but they are ruined so he goes back for more. Doomed to repeat. Also "kinda wish i never did Saturday " the song Saturday. A very upbeat song from scaled and icy. Not their usual tone. Something about it he regrets. Maybe he is getting some push back from it. Or maybe its a message about what he gave into to do it. Many many layered video.
Can you react to ode to sleep tøp
Did you guys see that the man in the beginning was behind him, and then, in the end, he was on the other side of the store?
É mais um belíssimo trabalho, Tyler consegue nos levar junto a esses momentos mágicos, poéticos…mesmo se tratando de assuntos tão delicados e estigmatizados como a nossa saúde mental, ele trás tudo com sutileza nos fazendo refletir… inclusive sobre Deus, que infelizmente falando por mim deixo tanto a desejar 😢…enfim, TØP é incrível ♾️
You notice how he backslides to where he began at the end of the music vid. And also he was throwing a bun bag away at the beginning showing that’s he’s done this already before.
I’ve noticed all the songs match up to the Bible, I see the story of Peter and Paul here, Peter backslid 3 times from Jesus, 2 buns thrown away = rejecting the body of Christ, 1 cup thrown away = rejecting the blood of Christ, Josh is Paul, peters friend but tired of his backsliding from Jesus so he decided to only cook 1 burger for himself
He keeps looping. Looping so often the kid adds “or 1 bun” to his sign so Tyler can get lemonade. Thats why Tyler stopped his bike suddenly
The song is about the loop, the cycle. And he was literally cycling, throwing 'breadcrumbs' as well, hints all over the place. Just wow. A simple mv with so much to unpack.
my perspective of the video was widely different than yours! In my pov the song seems desperate, like he is begging someone to save him from becoming depressed again, feeling like the tide (metaphor for depression) is over his head, and he is kind of acknowledging how he was not treating the people he loves right and despite wanting their help he also calls for them to let go of him. also if you notice the end frames- its not that he does not let it bring him down, he quite literally is backsliding. back to where the video started (the end shot and the start shot are the same from different angles, we see tyler throw a bag in the trash, then goes in and buys some buns- both in the start and the end. he is repeating the cycle)
Ned represents Tyler’s creativity so I think he’s sharing his creativity to the kid (possibly his younger self) with the bread
I just thought about why the cycle keeps repeating itself. Tyler admits he needs help, and just when he is about to ask his friend, Josh, for support, he regrets it and goes back to the same place.
This music video blew me away. As someone who has ocd, I feel like it very very accurately described the cycle that I go through with obsessions and mental rumination. The idea that you’re trying to do this one thing but you keep sabotaging it and having to go back and try again is the core of ocd for me. “Tendencies on repeat,” “strength enough for one more time,” the idea of trying to “solve” all your problems just to find another thing come up and having to brush the other problems under the rug, and the idea of backsliding in general all speak to the obsessive compulsive cycle of repeating unhealthy habits and not having any control over them, as well as to how exhausting it can be because you don’t WANT to participate in compulsions. And, especially after you’ve had a period where your ocd has been in remission, you just don’t know if you have the strength to deal with it once it starts creeping up again. It’s overwhelming like the tide he mentions in the chorus. This might be a bit of a stretch, but to me the “throw me a line” and “you should let go” lines are directed at friends and family, begging for help, but not being able to overcome the guilt that you’re just weighing them down by pulling them into your cycle. It could also refer to reassurance seeking and knowing that people shouldn’t indulge in your compulsion. I could go on and on about this, deep down I really hope this song is about ocd because it makes me feel so seen and heard. If it is, it’s possibly the best execution of addressing ocd in media that I’ve EVER seen.
My personal interpretation of it sounds like a cry out to his friends who he feels like he has let down because of his "backslides". It really hit home with me at the very end when Josh was flipping his burger, and checking his phone like "I hope he responds soon". Maybe it's not even relevant, but I noticed that he was just making one burger, which kinda represents how he invited his friend over for a simple meal just to spend time together, but he knows he probably won't make it because he's dealing with some stuff. It doesn't stop him from trying though. I've been both of those friends at different times in my life, and I can really feel it here.
The lyrics "I'll take anything you have, if you could throw me a line", has me thinking literally towards Josh, or that one trusted friend in a person's life. Just help me get out of this, and I'll prove that I'm a good friend. I can get those burger buns there safely this time, I promise. I'll "love you better", and appreciate you more. At the same time Tyler is wondering if he's even worth saving, or if he's just going to bring his friend down with him, and that is one hell of an internal struggle.
Lastly, the buns themselves. I read something like this in another comment and it made so much sense, but I can't take credit for it. The buns represent Tylers (our) coping mechanisms. Sometimes we try one, and it's not working like it did before, so we toss it aside without following through. The child in the video seems like he's talking to himself in his youth. Even his younger self needed help to cope, which is why he accepts "1 burger bun" as a form of payment.
Realistically, all of this stuff can be interpreted about a billion different ways, and I don't think any one way is the "right way". But, I think we'll hear what we want to hear, when it's important to heal, and that's all that really matters.
Stay above the tide, y'all. There's always strength enough for one more time. |-/
I just hope Tyler has a really good therapist. I know his music is, in a way, therapeutic, but if this Clancy album is causing him to dig up old hurts, then I just hope he has someone professional to process it with. Family and friends and faith, can all be excellent resources. The Clique (though sometimes overly opinionated 😵💫), are his extended support. I've heard so many say 'TØP saved me'…just don't forget to save yourself, Tyler! 🙏 ❤💛
