LYRICS
I can see the darkness in me and it's quite amazing
Life and death is no mystery and I wanna taste it
Step inside of my mind and you'll find
Curiosity, animosity, high philosophy, hyper prophesized meditation
Reminisce on my wonder years and I wonder here
Sentiments of my words ain't been so sincere
The sentiment of my nerves that I just persevere
The big thought of fallin' off disappeared to my fate
They say that Heaven's real
Analyze my demise I say I'm super anxious
Recognize I deprive this fear and then embrace it
Vandalizing these walls only if they could talk
Conversations don't contemplate to my dark thoughts
Lookin' down on my soul now
Tell me I'm in control now
Tell me I can live long and I can live wrong and I can live right
And I can sing songs and I can unite with you that I love, you that I like
Look at my life and tell me I fight
This that final destination, this that find some information
This that find some inspiration, this that crack the instillation
This that quantum jump and fist pump and that bomb detonation
Please don't bomb my nation, embalming fluid waiting
I got mind control when I'm here, you gon' hate me when I'm gone
Ain't no blood pumpin' no fear, I got hope inside of my bones
This that life beyond your own life, this say this go for mankind
This that outer-body experience no coincidence you been died
Bitch you're dead
Say you will never ever catch me no, no, no
Say you will never ever catch me no, no, no
Say you will never ever catch me no, no, no
Say you will never ever catch me no, no, no
Say you will never ever catch me
Say you will never ever catch me
Say you will never ev-

I found this video a few weeks after my younger brother was killed in November of 2016. I watched it over and over again and I couldn't stop crying. Its so surreal and heartbreaking and beautiful- I don't have the words to describe how much this song means to me. It reminds me of the church my brother and I grew up in. It reminds me of staying up past bedtime and hearing Flylo's music on adultswim, It reminds me of the park we used to play at as kids. Marcus, there isn't a single moment that goes by that I don't miss you. I think about you every day and I feel so empty knowing you were taken away from us. I'm so grateful that I grew up with you as my brother. Ill say it forever- I love you and I miss you and I cant wait to see you again.

Its as if the kids are confused at the church's sorrow. Although they are the ones deceased, they are the ones most at peace. The church is distressed, yet the children are dancing. Its one of those things where its like "don't be sad because its over, be happy that it happened." Their lives cut short, yet they continue to live in spirit.

Flying Lotus explored the theme of death from every angle in his album (hence the album title, "You're Dead"). In this track, he expresses the celebration of life. The emphasis on that celebration is found during a period of grief. The symbolic display in this video merely captures the freedom of the conscious spirit as it leaves the body. While we lose many loved ones, we can't forget that with life comes suffering. The longer you live, the more pain you endure. In a sense, Flying Lotus used children to portray a life short-lived, and therefore providing an escape from a life on earth filled with burden and pain; A bit of optimism in mortality. (but thats just my take lol)

really great analysis. I thought similarly about how the video/song conveys death as a relief from suffering in a way. I also thought especially toward the end that even though the children passed away, their spirits maintained the same innocence and playfulness that children know.

let me explain...anyone can die an emotional death, physical death, financial death, mental death or a spiritual death but some people are reborn and reborn as in, killing off the old ways about them or the environment around them, they bring about a new way of living and become leaders to guide others to become better thereby making everything better for everyone. death cant keep holding us back forever...death will never ever catch mmmmeeeeeeeee..nnnooooooo! noooooo!nnnnoooooooo!

This song and video really captures the surreal feeling of being at a funeral. If you've ever been to a funeral, you know exactly what I'm talking about. You're never quite prepared for it. Seeing all these people that you normally see in good spirits at a family gathering, but they're all so sad and heartbroken. Seeing the person you used to know, now just an inanimate object. The beauty and softness of the flowers and the plush inside casket for someone who can never know them. The off smell that funeral halls have. It's a sickening sensation. It gets your heart racing, but makes your stomach and your body seize, petrified. The adrenaline and the slow, somber melancholy. This song just nails it for me. No other depiction of a funeral I've seen really gets that feeling across.

I did an album/project dedicated to him & his fight. It's called I.am.ISAIAH It took alot out of me to create the songs & videos. Clearly it was not only was heatbreaking, 💔 but also therapudic through dealing with my son's death. Some of the best music deals with true pain. Thanks Kendrick & Flying lotus for doing this piece. 💯🏆

3:20 this one shot always blew my mind. The two dancers are initially in slow motion while the other kids are at normal speed, but when the beat hits the dancers suddenly move at the same speed as the other kids. Either those kids are superhuman dancers or there’s some kind of video trickery I’ve yet to find out.
@hirokokueh3541 2 жыл бұрын
the dancers and the background kids didn't intersect with each other during the slow motion, so they can split the frame, play the left half slower. at 3:29 you can see the rope jumping girl at the front is edited on, so I assume the pole at 3:21 is also edited on, the camera didn't move during the slow motion.

I have to say this video is by far the greatest music video I have EVER seen.

I found this video after walking into a store and Shazaming the song a few days ago. It was on the same day (May 5, 2010) that my little brother died more than 12 years ago. I watched the video over and over and couldn’t stop tearing up. It was like a confirmation that my brother was speaking to me through this song. I’m a minister’s son so this song hit on different levels bc I can remember when I lost my faith bc of my brother’s untimely death.. I went to visit his grave today and I feel some sort of sadness still, but overall I feel joy in knowing that my bro is happy, he’s free. So, if you have a loved one who has passed on, celebrate their life.

From a Christian point of view, then yes life does not end at the grave, and given Kendrick Lamar's Christian background I would say this is what the song is about.

this is a good point. as good as gkmc was it really is just a representation of what rap was at the time and the strength of kendrick as a story teller. this song + verse stands out as a little teaser for TPAB that really did show how much art could go into hip hop. although i don't think musically TPAB is a very influential album (no one really could match him) it put so many hip hop artists onto a new thought process and that they could no longer just rap over a beat they found to keep it interesting. sorry for my rant im just really feelin it

Oscar Hoare I think TPAB was his best and most powerful album. I always had Nas as my “greatest rapper of all time”, but Kendrick is a close second, if not first now. He’s unbelievably good. His lyrics are top notch, unique voice, great flow, writes what he believes and does it in a way that appeals to people that love lyrics or love beats or love rap in general.

We only see death as unfair because we don't know what's next. Well we don't know what "Space" is, we don't know what life was like millions of years ago (we can only assume and judge off what we know). We also don't know what "WE" were doing before being born. What do you remember before you were born? We weren't meant to know, we are intelligent and should be focusing on the life we have in front of us. There are soooo many things I dislike about life, and society. At the same time, there is more I love about it. Just walk into the woods sometime alone and just listen and look. Go along a mountain and just think. Go into a busy city and just feel. Think about anyone that has ever been there with you / for you. Some people have a disadvantage and don't have a family that's there for them, or even know they're family. It's the path they were given, and there is someone along that path that is meant to cross with your's..for a reason. Reach out to eachother, I think we have something in common as well, suicidal thoughts...trust me, we all have them. Whether you're rich or poor, or happy or sad, there are times that make you feel like you can't or don't want to handle it. It only makes you stronger and take it as a sign to walk a different path, Nobody said you can't choose a different path, just like nobody said it was "easy".

I'm not gonna' give you the God this, God that speech because I know nothing of your religious background. I will tell you this. If I was going to die, I would write a letter/will for the people I love. I would entrust this to a friend who could deliver this to my friends and coworkers. In the letter, my number 1 priority would be to admit my feelings to all of my crushes. All of them. The one on my coworker, the beautiful lady in my literature group, etc. As for my stuff, my poorest friends can keep it all.

The slow and smooth movement of the camera at the beginning captures the somber essence of the video. It turns out to be poignant blend of joy and sadness. The video opens at the funeral for two children, possibly innocent bystanders of gang violence. Unbeknownst to the mourners, the boy and girl rise from their coffins and dance through the aisles before hijacking a hearse and driving away. In my opinion, they wanted something extremely joyful that felt like a catharsis compared to the setting. To me it really shows how the message of taking control of your own life is being spread. The song says, "Lookin' down on my soul now. Tell me I'm in control now." This expresses how society cannot stop you from doing as you please in life no matter the negativity and possible bad outcome. It also says, "Ain't no blood pumpin' no fear I got hope inside of my bones" telling the listeners how there is always a brighter side to come out through where you can make the right choices and prove people wrong with any ideas, stereotypes, or bad will that they give. With the children and people at the church being of black color, it demonstrates how the black community has suffered long enough with being victims of hate from such a young age but are ready to take control of their lives and do as they are capable of, no matter the hardship or work it takes.

Tombé Kemayo Nope, not at all. I really do hope it will bring some comfort to your family during this time. My grandfather passed away here recently and to live and be 92 years old means you've lived a full life. I only share this with you because while he was fading, he told me the same thing I share with you all. Death shouldn't necessarily be a period of mourning but rather a celebration of the person, who they were to you and how much they meant to you. Sure, you are going to miss their presence but they are always going to be here with you. I know it's a bit cliché, but it really is the truth. There are subtle hints that allow you to see that they really are watching over you. I was grabbin' one of those personalized Cokes with names on them and when I reached out to grab one, I saw my grandfather's name right beside mine. That thoroughly convinced me through and through that he's right here with me.

Whereas Never Catch Me is like a Jackson Pollock painting, where there's complex layers that form the whole, and each layer could be it's own painting like each layer here could be it's own song, but to most people they have harder time connecting to it. That's my take on it.

TheFlow how? you probably don't listen to hip-hop, jazz, funk, spoken word etc and his raps are top-notch

This song and music video literally brings a tear to my eye due to the amount of people I’ve lost to the world but it makes me feel good to know that they don’t have to suffer inside this hateful environment but instead get to experience true life with the aid of happiness

this is way too emotional for me..from seeing the little baby viewing the two kids dancing to them hopping out of their caskets into the hearse symbolically representing what it means to be free. after death WE ARE TRULY FREE!

No man, that's not it. That's who they could have been if they weren't lying in caskets. That's what they could have been had the world allowed them the chance to live. Death isn't freedom itself, death is just freedom from the bad parts of life. But life is so much more beautiful then death; but only if it is allowed to be. Otherwise it's just meat in a casket for us.
