![]() ![]() While the exact extent of Deadmau5's announcement was unclear, in July 2012 he announced that there would be a shoot for a music video to go along with "Professional Griefers", and that he needed around 2000 fans to come and act as extras for the video. ![]() Deadmau5's response explained that he intended on doing releasing "Professional Griefers" alongside something huge. Fans were thrilled by the announcement of Deadmau5's collaboration with Gerard in early 2012, but questioned why he was holding back the release of "Professional Griefers" as a single. Soon, a collaboration was born, and Deadmau5 worked with Gerard Way, using his vocals to add to his song. Deadmau5 would put on a show that received critical acclaim, having used what he would come to call his 'Expert Griefing Machine', despite having changed the song's name.ĭeadmau5 at the helm of the Expert Griefing Machine In this form, "Professional Griefers" was a mere instrumental track, which Deadmau5 unleashed upon his fans during his Meowington Hax Tour as part of his headlining performance at Lollapalooza. Over time, Deadmau5 altered his song, and thus changed "Expert Griefers" into "Professional Griefers". Thank you for this beautiful song! No one can argue with thatInitially, Deadmau5 previewed a new unreleased track under the name "Expert Griefers" through Deadmau5's Ustream account toward the beginning of 2011. It's a testament to how dark our thoughts can be, and to the demon that is depression. He says he will pretend which is what he has been doing while this melody has played over and over in his head. He gives it away when he says I'll pretend to be happy instead of using "you". "I'll pretend to be happy, and I don't care, You cry yourself to sleep, and I don't care."This is kind of a give away for my interpretation, because this song has so many notes of being disappointed in himself. Our thoughts really determine how we feel about ourselves. It's simple and melodic, a haunting melody that would be found in someone's head. It's not vengeful as it may be for an ex. And the background track reflects that as well. ![]() When I heard this immediately, I thought, yes, this is far deeper than a breakup. It's likely a combination of self-hatred and words cast upon him by others. Another interpretation is that these could be words people said to him that he has internalized, and he has let them become a part of his personage. He refers to this breaking point when writes, "You knew this day would come, and you did, and you really should have waited". It's that breaking point where you give up on trying to understand your feelings or your position in life. The writer is venting his frustrations with himself, but is so upset that he can't or doesn't really desire to change where he is at. The way the song is written repetitively suggests that this is an internal dialogue. It's a poem to one's self, a sad one at that. This song kills me everytime I hear it mainly because of the way I read it. You knew this day would come, and it did, and you should have waited I'll pretend to be happy, and I don't care You contradict everything, and I don't care You knew this day would come, and it did, and you really should have waited ![]() Go cry yourself to sleep, and you should, because I'm so faded You knew this day would come, and you did, and you really should have waited You're wasting our time, and I don't care You cry yourself to sleep, and I don't care You're a walking disaster, and I don't care You're weak and you're gullible, and I don't care ![]()
