I think the biggest talent of Bo is understanding the history and interconnectivity of philosophy, communism, capitalism, 21st century living, introspection, agoraphobia, anxiety... just all these seemingly disconnected themes and weaving them together in a unique voice with an artistic narrative.

I think when Bo Burnham was talking about “the world is ending/Honey it already did” he was specifically talking about for him, which you get from understanding the context that he was having panic attacks on stage and and to quit comedy. Panic attacks make you feel like you’re dying. It’s not just “the world is over for everybody, we’re all rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic”, it’s “your doomsday talk can’t scare me anymore because I’ve already been through what feels like the worst. you want me to contemplate the end of the world? I’m already there, I’ve been doing that for a while now.”

"Every single cricket every fish in the sea
Gives what they can and gets what they need"
That line of How the World Works is also a reference to Karl Marx. Specifically: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need".
This line is how the idealistic verse of the song that reflects how nature works ends.
So, I guess he's saying nature works with this balance of what each individual gives and takes from the world and when that balance is broken we get Socko's verse, a world filled with exploitation.

"...it's like a joke, but it's actually a good song" is the most concise review of "Inside" there is, tbh.
