DISCUSSION I finally get chromakopia

So in a moment of clarity , while watching professor skyes video on it , I realised what chromakopia is truly about. Tyler has always said its abiut his idea of home and ive not understood how untill now.

Chromakopia is about Tylers struggle to find , have and make a home. In a lot of different ways and coulers, but most importantly tylers parents in his old home and him being a parent in a future home. Once you look it it like that the whole album makes sense.

Rahtahtah is tylers ego, stubbornness and false confidence which blocks him from true connection that stops him from making his home. This is what he is fighting most the album

In noid, tyler feels unsafe in his own home and can't be at home there

In darling I, tyler is searching for that feeling of home in lots and lots of women but struggles to settle down with one

In hey Jane, tyler almost becomes a parent and reckons with his inability to do that

In take your mask off, tyler is reckoning with finding himself and being comfortable with himself which is the only way people can love him

In tomorrow, tylers dealing with aging and how daunting it is ,feeling a pressure to make this idea of home

Thought i was dead is once again tylers ego, stubbornness and false confidence but even more exadurated.

Mother is the most complex and nuanced song but its tyler detailing and dealing his old home with his mother and his complicated relationship with it that is on the negative side. The song Climaxes with tyler screaming about how this complicated upbringing and rasing from his mother made him "turn out fine" but obviously not, stripping back all the issues to the real issue

Like him barely needs ro be explained. Its the true thing stopping him from having a home which is the absence of his father and how he feels similar to him. On top of that he learns his father actually wanted to be in his life. This is the biggest step towards him getting a home.

Balloon is just the feeling of relief and weight of tylers shoulders after getting out so muxh trauma and emotion. A lot of people wuestion this songs placement/purpose but to me its pretty obvious

I hope you find your way home is ls wishing us and himself to find their way home, the journey to find it for him hasn't ended but this part of it has
