what started as a joke tweet about the skits on SB2H being allegories for managing depression turned into this thread, kinda reached an enlightened state one........... hopefully this somehow makes someone find value in the existence of these skits
the SB2H skits are actually an allegory for managing and dealing with depression: there's a lot of things you can do about it and in the end it always feels like you lose
Think about it like you could listen to the song then skip when the skits come on but that's a pain. Like actively managing your unhealthy habits. Its worth it but it doesn't feel worth it until you stop doing it and realize how bad it is when you don't take those steps
You could just sit there and listen to it and that's very bad for you mental and it puts you into the same mindset cudi was in when he was making the rest of the album, and eventually, you get use to it and possibly like it and you need to seek help immediately
Or you could avoid the songs/album all together which is what most people do, however when you do this you deny yourself this awesome album for such a small thing. you've decided the inconveniences of skipping a song are not made up for by an otherwise amazing album
this is like how depression and anxiety gets out of control and consumes us. we decide having a fun time out with friends is not worth going to because of the awful "what ifs" or that putting your physical health at risk with substances is worth it if it stops the pain
so its all an allegory for how much we let this horrible force inside us control our actions and lives because no matter what you choose there's consequences in some way, and I think you could go a step further and say because of how manic the rest of the album is that's also
a metaphor for how even when you overcome the bad times things don't get better, and that realization is what brings more bad times. so some of the rage from the album is from how when you're supposedly doing everything right but you still arent happy the effort doesn't seem
worth it at all, and you allow yourself to sit back into complacency which doesn't make it better. yes you can put in more work to make things better but maintaining that state of being slightly less depressed is more exhausting than just letting it happen
so in the end that begs the question: is the effort worth it? is there a chance for things to get better? why was i/this album made this way?
this started out as a meme but like...... i kinda made some good points here
