The other "entity" is "Fear" (personified). Jonny is the stepfather who beat him in the basement (where "Anger" is). This is DEFINITELY a song everyone needs to listen to several times. Especially re-listen to "Mansion" again, "Outro", then this one again! It's a beautiful journey (and, story).

[djgilmore]

I'm stoked for this one! It's a masterpiece that NF has talked about in interviews. He's brilliant at personifying emotions, using metaphor, allegory, symbolism, cinematics, and beat selection. You're in for a treat on this one!

Continuing, Jonny is NF's abusive Step-Dad that took him to the basement and beat him, as referenced in "Mansion." Nate literally personified the emotion, Fear, for this track. He was speaking specifically to fear; as this is a direct continuity between the imagery we see in "Intro II" with Nate burying fear in the backyard with a shovel. Moving forward, Nate will continue to have inner dialogue with himself and he will personify other emotions. Brilliant and introspective to another artistic level.

Great breakdown!
That was Nate and Fear battling. He said in mansion fear moved in. In this song he said “is this me or the fear talking”?
Johnny is the universal name for an abuser. His moms boyfriend abused him. he mentioned that in mansion song.

[icey]

On intro 2 at the end of the video, you can see him digging a hole, so he had this battle between fear already planned years in advance. Crazy storytelling

[Owenschaefer]

I don’t listen to a lot of the artists you cover on a daily basis but I still absolutely love to see the reaction. Usually people are more focused on the music than the reaction but with your channel I think people are showing up for you!

[Careless.Saint]

Thank you for being a reaction channel that actually listens to the song and tries to understand the artist. It’s very refreshing and the kind of channel that I’ve been looking for.

My daily therapy session, loving it as always; you cure my depression.

LYRICS AND THE PERSPECTIVES

FEAR: you scared of me, it’s embarrassing If it wasn't for me, you would've never wrote Therapy I've been here for you, but how come you're never there for me? It's a little bit twisted, but I miss when you and I had scary dreams

NF: I don't really wanna talk about it

FEAR: Well, that's too bad now, Nate, shut up! Now where were we? Way back in the day when You and I had it all mapped out in the basement Cryin' in your room like a baby

NF:"I wish mom was here"

FEAR: We all do—so we wouldn't have to hear about it Every single record you don't really wanna change me Yeah, I'm the one that made this happen Do you really wanna get rid of your main attraction? Let's pack our bags and go back to Gladwin now Yeah, it's time for the third record And you know I got the content I don't wanna make you nervous But it ain't like it used to be We got a lotta people watching' You told me that you don't want me in your life, that's pretty hard to digest And I told you I'd leave when we die, and we ain't died yet Therapy Session was beautiful, Nate, but I'm wondering' what's coming' next Yeah, get that stupid hat off of your head when I'm talkin' to you, you hear what I said? You don't like the prison I built you? Yeah, you wanna know what the funny thing is? You keep on talkin' to me like a stranger, but we've been together since you were a kid, yeah Took us from a no-name Told you everything was okay Now you tryna cut me out of it like I ain't never been a part of it I am the heart of it, I made this whole thing Yeah, I put us on the dope stage You must have no brain What's the point of having guns if you can't aim? What's the point of having blood with no veins? What's the point of having love with no pain? What I'm sayin' is me without you doesn't make any sense I know I'm intense in controlling, but you need to learn how to cope with it That's just the way that it is If you didn't want me to live in your house, you shouldn't have let me move in It's comfortable here and I like it, I got my own room and everything It don't get better than this! You say you wanna own your life, then wake up and take your own advice You just mad 'cause you know I'm right Yeah, I'm flattered you put me in Mansion, but you should've told 'em right 'Bout your hands on the coldest nights You didn't tell 'em 'bout the times you and I used to hold the mic I mean, what are you, outta your mind? 'Cause both of us will be, come on, let's go outside! Is this what you wanted? Both of us out in the open? Let's do it then I mean, why are you doing' this? I know that you're mad, but I'm not in the mood for this We got a record to drop So why you actin' like I'm not a part of it? And where is my shovel at? Prolly all back—where it always is You can't get rid of all of me I'm the reason why—

NF:Nah, shut up, I don't wanna hear another sentence

FEAR: Hey, I'm NF, "Is it me or the fear talkin'?" Ha! What a dumb question! Yeah, it's real music 'til the day we die, right? Yeah, ain't that the slogan, Nathan?

NF:Thought I told you to keep your mouth shut

FEAR:I mean, so what? You know I never listen Let me guess We gon' dig a hole, kill the track, and prolly put a beat in it Rap about it for like three minutes Ayy, that's pretty deep, isn't it? Wait a minute, you don't really think for a second that you're puttin' me in this?

NF:No, of course not, just a lil' deeper then we'll go inside and we can stop diggin'

FEAR:Woo! You had me scared for a second, I thought we were diggin' my grave

NF:We did, what, you don't like being' afraid? It's a dose of your own medicine What, you don't like how it tastes? My therapist told me don't bury my issues, but I'ma be honest, man, I'm feelin' great! I think it's only right we go back to where you were created I wrote a song for Johnny without you, but he ain't gon' like it, let's see how he takes it He probably don't even remember us, does he? I wish I was burying' anger, but both of us know I'ma need him for that song, he still lives in the basement Almost done, shoulda done this a year ago I don't know why I waited You know how I get, I put everything off of my personal life, you hear what I'm sayin'? That was a joke Yeah, it's hilarious, ain't it? You'll spend the rest of your life in my backyard or back of my mind, depends how you see it Put the shovel away, time to go back in the house now, you'll be out in a week Tellin' me you want your room back, that's funny; what, you ain't got nowhere to sleep? I'ma just look out the window and laugh at you, this is crazy to me 'Cause I thought you had me in prison this whole time, but I'm the one holding' the keys

[Crowelephant]

I feel like this is his best song. It has a great message, the pacing is perfect, and the conversational tone makes it feel like a story as much as it is a song, a window into his life and how he overcomes fear.

[butterflymama]

So excited to see your reaction, Tom! NF said in an interview that this is his favorite song. It is so intellectually written. A masterpiece!! Let's

[Wobniar]

Hope that you listened to the song “Mansion” again before reacting to this song bc that song ties into this one. Fear moved into his mind and made a room for itself in the song “Mansion” in this song (Intro 3) it’s fear having a conversation with Nate.
In the song “Mansion” NF says “is that me or the fear talking?” and in this song Fear mocks him by saying “Is it me or the fear talking? Ha! What a dumb question”

[myst]

Soooo pumped for this Tom. Thanks again for going back and rewatching the Outro video. Some very big ties into this song. Looking forward to it.

[jordyt]

That addiction perspective really helped. Currently struggling with detox and it really helped me to think abt it and.focus more on getting the help i need instead of giving in. I also love NF, hes my idol, so great reaction as well, i love your videos and way of analysing deep thoughts and meanings in the songs you listen to. Keep it going!

[samanthagall]

I've watched sooo many NF reactions. It's nice to hear someone who understands it all on the first go around

[lithuanianavgeek]

I’m a diehard NF fan the first time I listened to this I had mix feelings on the song but when I saw the lyrics it was one of my favorites because it’s very relatable

[TheKhashix]

I thought i would’ve stopped watching your videos after a few reactions, yet here I am. Love the comments you provide on these more emotional songs; makes life feel a bit more worthwhile. Mad respect, keep on teaching people to respect themselves

[blake]

"I thought you had me in prison this whole time, but I'm the one holding the keys". In the song "Mansion" he talks about not opening the doors to the outside because the last time he did, Fear came in and never left. And because of Fear, he shut himself inside his "mansion" and thought of it as his prison

[jrcastillo]

Bro NF is literally gotta be my fav artist he talks about his real life situations. And puts all his heart into his songs❤️

[kerttukaljulaid]

Yes yes yes!!! I've been waiting for this! This made my day thank you!! Hope you're having an awesome day Tom&Nick!

Outcast, one of my favourite NF songs is next on the journey
