    That album got no appreciation, that's a crime
  • @judgeevans7202
    When Kanye said that if I was trying to relate this to more people I would say I'm struggling with loving myself but that's not the case here I felt that on a spiritual level
  • @lovesalsa69
    This song isn’t just talking about how he wants to murder people instead it’s talking about his challenges with depression and being bipolar. He also talks about how he has dark thoughts and how sometimes it can take over his mind. This song truly is one of the best out there
  • @benjable7502
    This comment section don’t take Ye seriously enough
  • @riverscuomo7140
    This is about Melon giving MBDTF a 6. Really tho, this is such a beautiful track.
  • @walkingw3348
    "The most beautiful thoughts are always inside the darkest" Instead of killing him, he forgives him.
  • I played this in the car one time with my friend and when it said “today I thought about killing you “ My friend looked at me and was concerned asf 😂
  • @colemorton9338
    I can’t afford to lose Ye. I pray he gets help before it’s too late.

    Tbh I really like this, despite all the off-beat weirdness, cold line delivery, and the weird beat, it's a bit of a guilty pleasure to me
  • The instrumental in the beginning is gorgeous. The most beautiful thing I've heard in awhile. It imulates how I feel inside sometimes
  • I can't explain just how much I love and appreciate this song and the album it belongs to
  • @chad2037
    I can't be the only one who lowkey likes the beat
  • @Bx0x0x
    "hurt so bad I go numb" is one of my favorite Ye lyrics, just the way he delivers it
  • I think like myself who deals with similar stuff. The "you" in I thought about killing you - is the negative aspect of his bipolar depression that when not in a state of mania - does not wish to associate with himself. as if the Mania itself is another person. He thought about killing him today, because he loves himself more than he loves that side of him, and you best believe he thought about killing himself -- all of him. To stop these thoughts. So you best belief he thought about killing you (Mania). Yet at the end - "The most beautiful thoughts are always inside the darkest" Instead of killing him, he forgives him.
