I'm listening to the following, a lot. I also like the videos. I'm curious if you have any thoughts.
Mine are:
This is about depression, even though it looks like it's about alcoholism.

That's how they chase me.
LSD I guess? It's trippy. Fleeting happiness.

Religion, forgiveness, other people?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebILIKHi9wo
I don't know...
This one is definitely about drinking

And 8-bit.

While I agree it contains themes on depression, I believe the content is more on how we try to cope with such feeling with escapism, drugs or simply avoidance. It also illustrates tue characters being able to fight back, not simply being helpless.
Fever the Ghost;
While I admit to having no experience with lysergic acid diethylamide, the artstyle seems more reminiscent of surrealist street guerrilla art and can be seen in a poetically literal fashion: sun comes up, nature awakens, knocks on your roof, you gather your beast and dive straight into it. You see many wonders, fight your own demons, find a place of enlightenment and fill the world... an often unsettling experience. Ect.
White Flag;
Borrowing some symbolism from the name and title screen, Paradise Lost refers to the concept of mankind's inability to accept an ideal situation, as per the biblical garden of Eden. Combined with a sign of truce (the flag) and fairly blatant icons, it feels like a warning of what we might be headed towards as a human race as well as hope for a better world. End this religious game.
Drunk Arcade;
Some people think of finding partners in a bar as a game... this makes that literal. ^..^
On the last one, I primarily like that "Back Back Forward Punch" repeats. It's a fave like "Eat Sleep Rave Repeat".
^..^?
