*This is what I hear in my head when wearing that burger king paper crown*

I feel like the most underappreciated line is "If we can break through the ceiling above us, there's no point in looking below." Like this one line both signifies the potential of wealth being put in front of others wellbeing, and is a Segway into the songs 'inner meaning.'

I've been rewatching this every now and then for 1/3 of my life now. Both the song and the animation really struck into me.

The one guy: *Literally eats his opponent.* The same guy: *O h m y t i e i s a l i t t l e u n d o n e...*

*we live in a society*

The song is about the balance of power in our world, and how easily we fall in pursuit of that power. The brainwashed get dragged back under the spell once woken, the politician must cannibalize himself and his own beliefs to survive, the businessmen only has so much time before he too is toppled, the police can commit acts of savagery for as long as the people allow him, and the rebels can be free only as long as they are willing to die for their cause. Only those who do not chase power, truly have it. If you never seek to get "on top" you'll find yourself already there.

guy with a crown: *exists* another guy with a crown: so... you chosen death

So much meaning, truth and facts in this single song ❤️

My brain at 2am: We could be FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I know I am a little late here but did anyone else notice that the only group in harmony is the triangle people and they are also the only group that starts and ends with the same king. The business men have to throw each other down to get their crowns and it is always short lived, the anarchist has his crown only when he is about to martyr himself, the cop has his crown only when he brutalized the anarchist which is implied that it does not end well due to everyone video taping it, the guy and girl have crowns when they escape tv cthulhu but are immediately recaptured, and the politicians are clones literally eating each other to get the crown. Meanwhile the pyramid heads are passively observing everything. Their king had no conflict to get his crown and no one attempts to take it. They are literally the only people in this story at peace and in harmony with each other.

It never get's old... Great video

I set this as my alarm for work in the morning years ago...That intro hits hard and fast at 6am haven't been late since.

Everyone's interpreting the meaning, I'm just wondering what would happen if Cop guy and Octo fought each other

Kill guy with crown and get a crown Thats how mafia works

The one song on the playlist I never skip

Tribe society is one of the best bands I’ve ever listened to 🔥

Runnin' with all of my brothers I always wondered how far we could go If we could break through the ceiling above us There'd be no point of us looking below We could be free We could be free Finally We could be free I've been through the darkest of caves and suffered One hundred steps off the end of the road Painted with passion, my favorite color Hope I'm alive when this story gets old We could be free We could be free Finally We could be free I ain't at home Home's where I'm going I close my eyes to see I'll take my throne, lay it on a mountain And make myself a king I said whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh Make myself a king I said whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh Make myself a king Lost in a world full of none believers Searching for smoke in a still water pond A nothing king, they called a dreamer This is my life and I call it a song We could be free We could be free Finally We could be free I ain't at home Home's where I'm going I close my eyes to see I'll take my throne, lay it on a mountain And make myself a king I said whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh Make myself a king I said whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh Make myself a king Kicked through the shackles Broke through the chains There's no oppression There's no one to blame but you Kicked through the shackles Broke through the chains There's no oppression There's no one to blame but you I said whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh Make myself a king I said whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh Make myself a king I ain't at home Home's where I'm going I close my eyes to see I'll take my throne, lay it on a mountain And make myself a king I said whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh Make myself a king I said whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh Make myself a king Make myself a king

Shout out to myself for bringing me here. I'm happy that I brought me here.

This is some intense king of the hill match

I was 10yo when I first had watched and listen to this, and damn 9 years later it's still kicks hard AF world went even more insane...

Aliens: Wtf. Me: Yeah, that's Humans for you.

3:11 DeviantArt is gonna love this

Bruh I feel like literally everything in this video is accurate to 2020 so far

It describes our ’make myself a king" society well. Music and video are brilliant.

I think this is one of the best recommendations I've gotten ever

this is a perfect loop,i just realized that

8 years later, and this song is still a masterpiece

"All the world is a stage, the men and women are merely players; we all have our entrances and exits" - William Shakespeare

Gives a hole new meaning to ,,King of the hill''

Клип шикарный,песня шикарная - гремучая смесь крутоты

"i close my eyes to see"... poetic

Never trusting my pet triangle again

I love how this clip talks about the crisis of values in our society, not only the "illuminati confirmed",but the way that the society is taking. Simply amazing

Every year, this becomes more relatable.

double king would love this place...

Castle brought me here.....that opening with the killers kiss of stab and this was the bgm playing everything was just mesmerizing in the eyes and ears

Love this song ❤

We could be free.... or we keep listening to this bomb ass music. (couldn't resist)

I think the crown does not represents "leadership" or to be literally a king; in the video, some of the given scenarios doesn't even have anything to do with "ruling" over other people, it has to do with being "successful" and maybe "free" and the subjective nocion of success and freedom that each of the characters have. For example, the buisness man climbing the pyramid is a clear methaphor for the merithocracy model: "work hard and you'll be successful", "work harder than anyone else to stand out among others", we have this utopia in wich we think that only those who struggle the most will be rewarded with recognition, will be worthy of a crown. And maybe you get to stand for some time at the end of the pyramid but... then what? Probably sooner or later you'll come across someone who's just better than you, or has "worked more and harder", and again, then what? It is an ilussional sense of poupose. Returning to the conception of success, while the rebel found a sense of accomplishment in fighting against that oppression in the sake of freedom, that search lead him to use violence, and that violence met more violence. In the other hand, the cop "succeeded" through the exessive use of violence and oppression, and total impunity was granted to him (no one did nothing, just filmed him while he beated the sh*it out the guy with the hoodie). I think the most unfortunate scenario was the one with the "swimmers", imo, they were the only ones who embraced true sense of success, they found true freedom by getting to swim up to the surface of that uncertain and absorbent realm that is media and TV. They stared at eachother and probably found the notion of The Other, true connection between people. Although it didn't last long. They were soon dragged down again to the dephts of ignorance. In the minwhile the politicians are eating eachother, i don't have much to say about it, i think it's all pretty obvious, they are just visible faces, power figures, deep down they're all the same. No politician has ever looked into the roots of society's true problems. They triumph over eachother by blaming eachother, talking about faults in the other model instead of dedicating that time to actually try to improve things. That's the hate speech. The media loves to show us a lot of sensationalist press to keep us interested. They show us violence, all kinds of cathastrophes and scandalous situations. They show us people against other people. The hate speech works because we love to see our own hate projected and represented in figures of power, and thats why we choose those figures. And behind all that is this supposed group of people that makes it easier for this great machinery to continue to work perfectly. Witnessing how we fall over and over again, making the same mistakes again and again..

IS IT JUST ME OR DOES THIS FIT ALMOST PERFECTLY WITH 'Welcome to Night Vale' ????

i use to listen to this song all the time when i was 9, i’m now 12 and going back to my old music taste, i am happy now.

2:42 Leader: hum.. let me remove this hood to see better -proceeds to remove the hood 2:45 the rest: maybe it will be better -proceeds to remove the hoods 2:48 A moment of reflection 2:51 - 2:53 the rest: is too bright -proceeds to to put the hoods back Maybe that is the reason he's the leader and can have the crown.

Man, not only is this song deep so is the animation.

Its so funny how accurate this is.

*now this says alot about society*

I’m so proud this music got so popular. (This deserves even more recognition..) I was here when there were like.. 80k views I think? I’m so glad TribeSociety are being recognized honestly 💖 This is my fav music so far, I’ve been listening to it for 2-3 years now!

I’m here because one of my great friends that moved away and lost touch sent me this video. Life happens, you get busy working and I never watched it. As I was going through the last messages before he died I came across this.

You either die a hero or live long enough to see your self become the villian

This song just sends chills down my spine.This is true representation of our society.We all reach for the top no matter what.Leaving morals and kindness at the door.

Comment: *we live in a society* Me: “yeah a *tribe society* “

THIS IS AHEAD OF ITS TIME

Pls come back...the world needs your music...

I had been listening to this one since day one, was late in seeing the video though. Definitely wasn't expecting the song to be so full of symbolism, I love it.

Came here from FM6 trailer, amazing music. Will start exploring more from you now, thanks!

broo i have heard this song before and i forgot about it and then i rememberd the song again but i couldnt find it i searched so many channels and so many songs and i finaly found it thank you

This is such a good song

it's look like an Imagine's Dragon song ... love it

Great editing, design and incredible sound . 10/10

This has to be my favorite song now

I'm a college student stuying psychology and sociology, when I lack motivation I watch this and then get back to the grind

3:35 wait, did they just turn themselves off or restart their own cycle 0:42 also I like how he knows whats going to happen but he goes anyway to make a point

Triangle people! I knew it!

The message is simple, no matter what society it situation you are in, there is a looming leader

Never seen the music video until now but I don't think I could have appreciated it 8 years ago anyways, today though this hits different.

1:38 the thicc saved him

Morale of the story: The crown is useless

I love this song

This song hits DEEEEEEP

Imagine dragons+fall out boy=tribe society

pls, make more videos like this. you are the best. you deserve millions of subs :D

This slaps so hard

i Love it

probably the most meaningful song I've heard in a long time.

You're the only one stopping yourself from achieving your own dreams. You're already a king/queen if you stop chasing the crown. Whatever it is, let's just appreciate the song.

Havent heard this in years🔥

1:25 уютненько) лампово)

Nobody: The business men at the beginning: spooder

This song is a masterpiece✨💜

0:48 level 69 chad walk

One of the most accurate videos

You know, if politicians really ate each other during debates it would make being in the tentacled grip of this video octopus more entertaining.

this says a lot about our society, GAMERS RISE UP!

Great work, family...🙏🔥🥊

I’m not happy it’s been 4 years since the last song. I just found this group and I need more.

Themes of Usurper Kings and their deceitful ways in pursuit of wealth and power as well as the entrapment of modern western-culture man and woman kind in the lower class and just the general unjust behavior of "justice". We need more of this thought provoking stuff. Also I think there's an allegory to David and Goliath with a twist... I want to leave a million likes on this baby.

Yaaaaaaaash ! So much insipiration from "Heart of Darkness" the way he destroys the hooded guy ! Same as the shadows in the game ;) Hopefully someone is old enough to remember the game; playstation 1 hehe !

Noone: Not a damn soul: MY uncle talking about Illuminati and theories.

POV: you're a king watching/listening to this masterpiece in 2021

Melhor clip de animação que já vi na minha vida, os produtores estão de parabéns.

*The new mafia city ads looks pretty good*

Awesome

this song marked my childhood

awesome song

1:00 when you first time cooking spaghetti

When School is done and the bell rings Everyone: *WE CAN BE F R E E*
