your condom breaks

you feel a lump on your breast

your friends are ignoring you

you’re stranded on an island 

you got rejected by a crush

you get into a car accident

you got stung by a bee/wasp

you got fired from your job

you’re in an earthquake

your tattoo gets infected

your house is on fire

you’re lost in the woods

you get arrested abroad

you get robbed

your partner cheated on you

you’re on a ship that’s sinking

you fall into ice

you’re stuck in an elevator

you hit a deer with your car

you have food poisoning

your pet passed away

you fall off of a horse

you or your friend has alcohol poisoning

you have toxic shock syndrome

finally taking some time to post something longer.

inside really destroyed me, I’m just gonna talk pretty short about the movie, the songs and some quotes so this post doesn’t end up being a 500 page book. starting the parallels between it and "make happy"

in the ending of make happy you see Bo enter a small room after preforming, he sings one last song "are you happy?". he leaves the room after finishing and doesn't preform anything for the next 5 years. at the start of inside, he's back in that same room. he leaves only to later on find an excuse to come back

the movie starts off with the song "content" where Bo sings that he has been depressed but will still try to make content, seeing if it could help with his mental state.

‘Robert's been a little depressed (no) And so today I'm gonna try just. Getting up, sitting down. Going back to work. Might not help, but still, it couldn't hurt’

The next song is “comedy”

in this song Bo sings that he wants to help people, but that the only thing he can do is comedy, and try to make people feel better with jokes. but he’s unsure if it’s okay for him to joke when literally the whole world is ending (it didn’t actually end but like that’s what people thought yk)

‘Should I be joking at a time like this? Somebody help me out, 'cause I don't know. And I want to help to leave this world better than I found it And I fear that comedy won't help, and the fear is not unfounded Should I stop trying to be funny?’

then we have FaceTime with my mom

honestly I’m kinda struggling with this one, except for the obvious fact that the song is about Bo FaceTiming with his mom to me I just seems like he doesn’t have anything better to do so he just talks to his mom. “My mother's covering her camera with her thumb I'll waste my time FaceTiming with my mom” I’m really unsure about this one, so I’d love to hear other people’s opinions on this one.

moving on to how the world works

ok this one I actually have something to say about, so the song starts of with Bo explaining how the world “works” in the kind of way you’d explain it in a kids show. Then socko comes out and explains it in a way that focuses a lot on social criticism, he talks about the world in a very pessimistic but real way. The song also talks about how Bo wants to help but he feels unsure about what to because he has a lot of privileges and the bad things that are happening in the world doesn’t really have anything to do with him. So after socko is done with his part Bo says this:

“That's pretty intense No shit What can I do to help? Read a book or something, I don't know Just don't burden me with the responsibility of educating you It's incredibly exhausting. I'm sorry, Socko I was just trying to become a better person Why do you rich fucking white people Insist on seeing every socio-political conflict Through the myopic lens of your own self-actualization? This isn't about you So either get with it, or get out of the fucking way”

White Woman's Instagram

again, one I’m struggling with.

the way I interpreted it was that he was talking about how people tend to copy each other to fit in. Like he sings a lot of different thing that “every” white woman posts on insta. Still I’m very unsure about this one.

the next one is unpaid intern but this one is so short and the lyrics are so hard to read deep meanings into so I’m just gonna say this, it’s about unpaid interns.

oOOOOH BOY. okay here’s the pitch

It’d be dually narrated by Lister and Bliss. 

Lister, who is healing from various serious injuries, has decided that he wants to become a ‘better’ human. This involves giving up smoking and alcohol, definitely getting over his crush on Jimmy, and being more in control of his behaviour and personality. He’s started to realise that being famous just isn’t as fun as it used to be, but it’s not like he can escape now… can he?

Bliss, who has just broken up with her megastar boyfriend, has suddenly become super famous for being ‘Rowan Omondi’s girlfriend’, and has to deal with everything that comes with that - fame, online hate and a social media following - but the only person who’d understand is her ex-boyfriend! Trying to deal with being in the spotlight just for being someone’s girlfriend, and the sudden promise of money when she starts to get offers of Instagram sponsorships… maybe she could try being famous, just for a little while… what could go wrong?
