This song, by a comedian, is a showcase of the hopeless, fucked up, irredeemable, state of humanity.

These 2 particular lines brings a tidal wave of emotions:

20 thousand years of this, seven more to go

The quiet comprehending of the ending of it all (Actually, the whole song, the whole album gets me)

That Funny Feeling ~ Bo Burnham

Stunning 8K-resolution meditation app. In honor of the revolution, it's half off at the GAP. Deadpool's self-awareness, loving parents, harmless fun. The backlash to the backlash to the thing that's just begun.

There it is again, that funny feeling That funny feeling There it is again, that funny feeling That funny feeling

The surgeon generals' pop-up shop, Robert Iger's face. Discount Etsy agitprop, Bugles' take on race. Female Colonel Sanders, easy answers, civil war. The whole world at your fingertips, the ocean at your door.

Live-action Lion King, the Pepsi Halftime Show. 20 thousand years of this, seven more to go. Carpool Karaoke, Steve Aoki, Logan Paul. A gift shop at the gun range, a mass shooting at the mall.

There it is again, that funny feeling That funny feeling There it is again, that funny feeling That funny feeling

Reading Pornhub's terms of service, going for a drive. And obeying all the traffic laws in Grand Theft Auto five. Full agoraphobic, losing focus, cover blown. A book on getting better hand-delivered by a drone.

Total disassociation, fully out your mind. Googling "derealization", hating what you find. That unapparent summer air in early fall. The quiet comprehending of the ending of it all.

There it is again, that funny feeling That funny feeling There it is again, that funny feeling That funny feeling

Hey, what can you say? We were overdue But it'll be over soon, you wait Hey, what can you say? We were overdue But it'll be over soon, just wait, ba-da-da, ba-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da

About a year after it came out, I was singing along with it during a depressive episode and realized 'seven' wasn't accurate anymore. It freaked me out, but I realized that part of the nature of the song is the impending doom, and I have to change the lyrics when I get to that part.

..Four more to go.

Don't forget to factor in the time between him writing, recording, and releasing it.

This the way the world ends. Not with a bang, but a whimper.
