@raffistewartx3 Thinking for yourself doesn't mean you do the opposite of everything you hear. Nothing is stopping you from obeying the song, or thinking about the message behind it and deciding for yourself what you should do ;)
@JesseNovak I never said do the opposite, I just said it gives you the right to form your own opinions. And if your opinions disagree with the song, so be it. I agree with what you're saying as it is what I meant myself.
I think the most prominent message is "Thou shalt give equal worth to tragedies that happen in non-English speaking countries, as to those that happen in English speak countries."
We're an independent label trying to make it in this game and the best way to do that is by being more known on youtube.One of the ways we stand out is we help unsigned artists get more fans by uploading their songs for a new fan base

because he is famous? you dont know him so why are ya hatin him? ye this is far away from justin beaver vids
@whateverppl1229 i hate justin beaber because he has no talent and is only popular because of loads of teenage kids, his manager and a record label, he's no one specail, just lucky
This song speaks, on a visceral level, of the human condition existing throughout most of recorded human history and free will not being a myth once you break the cycle of your own creation myth.

I'm a 90's kid..grew up with the monday's, oasis, the roses....and the ocean scene that is full of colour. and i do love the floyd, the zepplin and all the rest. but this beat is so refreshing. at the end of the day, the bands were great........but yes, they just were bands. fuckin respect mate. this tune wull be old skool in 10 year,
the message to this song is .... are you ready guys ? ... cuz your arguing bout this allot ... ok here it goes, the message is dont be a knob head just be yourself (if yourself is a knobhead then ..... though shalt always .... THOUGH SHALT ALWAYS KILL yourself) only joking there ;)
@Psynyde So you get enjoyment out of listening to this piece of shit track? You like listening to some neckbeard teach you lessons that you'd learn in a Grade 10 media class?
@Loquacious2afault i think he was listing examples of people not thinking for themselves. he was trying to give examples and show people that they really havent questioned much of what they believe even if they think they have
@Loquacious2afault thats the point of the whole song u silly prick, it contradicts itself all over the place. jesus christ! worse again - this is the most popular comment. ever heard of irony???? idiots
