“I know that you can hear me, all I need is like five minutes,” I gave Lucas 5 minutes and it was honestly very influential and informative. From the very start of the song, Lucas main purpose was to convince and persuade the audience that mental illness is a serious and chronic issue in today’s society. Lucas did this by first establishing ethos, using emotionally loaded language as pathos, and had the logic to back it up with logos. Lucas writes from his perspective in the verse, “maybe it’s my fault, I shoulda paid more attention to what you been doing, maybe I should have been more of an influence,” to show the selected audience that they can be the person that changes someones mind on suicide. Lucas wants the audience to be the emotionally driven to change. Someone does not just change out of the blue, they must be convinced that they are apart of the problem, and Lucas makes the audience feel this way with his unbelievable amounts of pathos.
