His mother claiming his father's absence to be her fault towards the end of the song is just so huge. This is probably his deepest work.
@eres.is.anaries
1:25 - 1:28 after he asks "like him?", his mom's voice replies "like what?" as if she's deliberately trying to avoid answering or stop him from asking. theres so much work out into this album i cant

This entire song was how I felt after my Dad died. He was so abusive yet I still missed him. Along with that I held so much grief over looking so much like him. His voice, his laugh, everything. It stole so much of my own happiness. I still wish sometime I could run to him. But I genuinely am just chasing a ghost of who he was and who I wish he could be.

3:14 those three guitar chords just tickle my brain in a way I can’t put into words. Crazy how such a subtle detail In an instrumental can make all the difference

3:42 BEST PART
@NoahBea
Every time I listen to this song, I remember my mom's struggle to get the attention of my dad who already has another family...
@CEYBLADE
This is the closure that "ANSWER" Tyler needed 4:06
@werafrica4060
Yea Tyler momma wild for that line 0:11
@lumitylover93
Imagine how his dad felt hearing him talk about how much he hates his dad and how he was a horrible dad but his dad really wanted to be there for him
@BraidensWorldEntertainment
As a motherless person I relate to this song heavily, even if its about the absence of a father I can still associate this towards my own mom and how i‘m told I am just as smart as her and other things
@playlonix5798
2:12 “How could I ever miss something that I never had” most relatable line in the whole song
@mochiiGPO
that part where his mom is talking at the end made me cry. imagine how his dad feels hearing his music knowing that tyler didnt know he wanted to be a father to him. shits sad.

@cskyla1844
2:12 "How can I ever miss something that I never had?" is just like Frank Ocean's song "There Will Be Tears" where he also sings about his absent father and missing him even though he was never in his life: "My friends said it wasn't so bad, you can't miss what you ain't had, but I can."

My husband died when our girls were 9 and 13. For years, I told them that they look just like their father, mannerisms, personality and all. I told them they must honor his memory and remember all the things he taught them. Listening to this, I see how much pressure I put on them. They were literally chasing a ghost. I didn't mean to pressure them and take away their individuality and uniqueness as people. I'm 52 and never thought I'd listen to a Tyler, the Creator song, but I listened to the entire album. It's a masterpiece. Keep growing young people. Keep calling us out and healing. Keep confronting us and challenging our parenting and choices. Keep breaking the generational curses. Thank you, because you taught me something today. God bless you, Tyler. ✌🏽💜

Sometimes my uncles say how I have my father's eyes and smile, and I remember that despite the times he yelled at me, the times he hit me, the times he insulted me, or punished me in some other way. I remember that despite all that, he loved my brothers and me, and I miss him so much, cause right at the best moment of our relationship with him as sons and father, he was hospitalized and then died from the damned COVID virus.
