Very true, but the only reason she isn't afraid of the darkness anymore is because she lived through it by experiencing suicidal ideations and possible attempts; can't get any darker by hitting that form of rock bottom.
"You don't get to die until you get it right, you said.. I envy the dead" That hit my soul. Makes you think about how we all have a purpose in life and we don't die until it's fulfilled one way or another. Deep.
interesting aspect. I see it as she was meaning it as encouraging someone in a dark place. like no you will not die this way you will get things right. You will see the light and the happiness once again. At least hoping for it.
she does not describe suicide. spiritual and buddhist people know this. she is describing rebirth and reincarnation, and how your soul is trapped on this planet in an endless cycle of reincarnation until you “get it right” and learn how to live right. she wants her soul to be able to ascend and therefore actually “die.”
@@dareaper11 I can appreciate your reply and words. I posted this 3 years ago, and it was after reading her interview where (not verbatim) she states that this song was inspired by her learning about the suicide trees and her heritage. She spoke about how people go there and how everyone has different reasons for making that ultimate decision. She talks about how the suicide trees (Jukai) is a place that she had visited in her mind, and that after her brother passed, she had down moments and she was obsession with death. She also stated that she knows that it sounded morbid..That this song was a result of poetry written and that It was a fantasy of hers to go there. How these words resonates in some may differ when it comes to intake, it's art and the message is recieved in variation.

This album has resonated throughout my entire being. I have had a rough year. My boyfriend and I got robbed several times, losing our art and work in the process. My boyfriend got into a horrible accident and miraculously survived but totaled his car. His car was how he made his money. And last week, he was shot and killed due to senseless gun violence in Atlanta. We were one body, one mind, one laugh. One voice. We went everywhere together, we did everything together. We lived together and planned on spending the rest of our lives together. Tragedies like this you feel lost in this abyss of madness that we are so used to calling 'reality'. It makes you wonder what is real. What is fake. What is our real potential and purpose as humans on this earth? What is on the other side? Is my boyfriend okay on the other side? I lost my best friend and this type of devastation drives you to long for death. But something's there. Some force. One may call it God, the Most High. Reminding you that you're journeys not over. Jhene aiko has always been my safe haven because oddly she drops her albums around the same time life cuts me down. Though I felt like I couldn't go on with my life, I, somehow, made it out alive 💙 #longlivesmurf
The part at the end where she says “Made it out alive” gets me everytime because, I don’t think many people know what it’s like to have life bully you and beat you down until you don’t want to exist anymore, and then you still somehow find strength to fight and live your life and spread love. The album TRIP by Jhené Aiko is an underrated masterpiece and the visual that goes along with it is also very powerful. A real tear jerker for me. I adore her ♥️
This is more than just music. The other day I had a mental breakdown and as I cried these lyrics kept playing in my head. Well the only lyrics I knew at the time were “hell is not a place, he’ll is not a certain evil, hell is other ppl, or the lack there of, or their lack of love”. After I got up from the ground, something kept telling me to listen to the song and read the lyrics. She basically tried to commit suicide but she she was pulled out of it because it wasn’t her time. As I experienced my panic attack I had suiciadal thoughts but my 1 yr old was in the room and as he watched me cry he layed with me which pulled me out of it. But this song is deep is hell and resonated on so many levels. “Made it out alive”.
This is what Jhene said about the song Jukai; "One night I was in [the studio] with the Fisticuffs and we were partaking in marijuana and we were watching a documentary about Aokigahara, the suicide forest in Japan. My great-grandmother was born in Hawaii, but she's actually Japanese. My grandfather is Japanese, too. So I've always wanted to go. After my brother passed - actually, my whole life - I've been very interested in death. Not afraid of it, but interested and intrigued. I was watching that [documentary] and it was such a beautiful forest. Maybe people go there and they just feel at peace. Of course, everyone has different reasons for making that decision. "It's definitely a place I've been in my mind: 'Hmm, if I were to decide to do that, how would I do it?' So we started with a guitar and I wanted to write a song about that place and go there in my mind. I know that sounds morbid, but it was true. It was a fantasy of me going there. It's not super obvious in the song, but I say how my feet keep touching the ground [and] it's not working for me. Then I'm saved by a guy. But in real life I was on a hike in Big Sur and I was getting emotional. Then I looked up through the trees and I saw the sun. It felt like the sun saved me, which, in itself, is [symbolic]: the Son of God or the sun in our solar system. It just felt like a love story. "It's a double/triple entendre: The male voice that you hear throughout the album is the love interest or my conscience. He also represents the devil disguised as an angel, because he keeps offering me these drugs. It's like, 'Who are you, really?' He appears at first to be an angel, but then he turns into someone that is not."
The first time i ever listened to this song I didnt hear the story. Then I listeneed again and heard it. It felt like wanting to die but then making it out alive on the other side (Being saved or finding healing) It's a beautiful song.
Thank You Penny. You saved me. I think you saved a lot of us. Your music brings peace to my soul. Wishing you nothing but the best, now and forever, until Twenty88.
I saw an interview of Jhene where she explains that Jukai is another term for what they call the suicide forest in Japan. Their is a documentary of the Suicide Forest that VICE did. This song has so much emotion to it , to any one who ever thought about taking their own life including jhene. which is why she says she made it out alive at the end.
I heard this song for the first time earlier today while walking amongst throngs of people exiting and entering a train station via a mall and when I heard the lines "Hell is not a place, hell is not a certain evil. Hell is other people or lack thereof and their lack of love." I swear to god I've never felt so alone surrounded by so many people. Everything was just kind of in slow motion and though everyone was moving so fast to and fro, time moved in a very peculiar way. This song speaks to my fucking soul. jfc
before when i used to listen to this song i just loved it bc of how calming and beautiful it was. but then when i was in a really bad place i began actually listening to the lyrics and hanging on every word. it just described how i was feeling perfectly. i keep coming back to it every now and then and i can’t listen to it anymore without breaking down. it just brings me back to that mindset and i feel everything all over again. it’s insane how a song can do that to someone
When she says "if anyone should try and find me, just know I'm where I wanna be" like dam I felt that in my soul but JUST👏🏽 KNOW👏🏽JHENE 👏🏽 MAKES 👏🏽AMAZING 👏🏽MUSIC👏🏽DONT👏🏽ARGUE👏🏽WITH👏🏽ME👏🏽
Jhene is everything! She writes her pain in paper and contribute it to music and you can tell by the tone of voice that she's hurting. She lost someone so dear to her which is her brother, and I can only imagine what she is going through. I know I would be in her position if I lost my brothers.
I'll never forget when I first ever heard this song. I was half asleep in the passenger and i felt like this song carried me away to a dream land. The words resonated with me so so much, each word just echoed in my head and the sound felt like it was hitting me right in the chest. It was so magical I almost cried.
Her music let people share their pain and thoughts. We don't have a lot of artists like her today - she's one of kind. Give all of you big hugges, be strong and give yourself self love. Everything Will be OK, I Promise. ❤
I honestly believe she had a situation where she wanted to leave earth early and decided to end up staying . this song is so beautiful. And I wonder if she ever did go to Forest near Mount Fuji (sea of trees) also known as (Aokigahara). The struggle of life and death ....beautiful
My mom told me she went to Jukai and she met someone, they talked for a while then she forgot what she was doing so she left. I believe it was her guardian angel
Lyrics: Oh I, oh I Oh I, oh I Oh I, oh I If anyone should try and find me Just know I'm where I wanna be I left the house all clean and tidy Don't come searchin', please I've made my way down to the forest Way down to the sea of trees (the sea of trees) The eagle grows, it gets enormous And then it has to bleed All the way out All the way out On my way out I found a way out Up in a tree Up in a tree Could you believe it? Wouldn't you believe Hell is not a place Hell is not a certain evil Hell is other people Or the lack thereof And their lack of love And their lack of love I tried, but my feet kept touchin' the ground (touch the ground) If I died, would it even make a sound in the sea of trees? (sea of trees) No need to bother lookin' for me Don't come, don't come, don't come searchin' for me You don't get to die until you get it right, you said I envy the dead, yeah I'm way out, I'm way out I'm way down in the sea of trees I'm way out What is that I see? Starin' back at me Okay now I'm okay now Alive, alive Made it out alive Made it out alive Surprise, surprise, surprise Surprise I'm out alive Made it out alive Made it out alive Away, away, away What are you doing out here? I don't know What's your name? Penny Are you okay? I think you saved me
I found this song accidentally a week to the day thatI went to the forest where I live. I'm only here bc I couldn't find the pills that I was planning on taking. Later on I found them right where I had put them. I know my daughter who passed away stopped me from finding the pills. I struggled with wanting to be here for a few days after. I know it is selfish and hurtful to others that depend on you to end your life. No judgment here. It's just my own conclusion for my situation. I'm glad I found this song. The part at the end where the man asks her if she's okay, her name and then she says that he saved her- I believe in my I interpretation that he is an Angel. Life is harsh. It can be painful or beautiful. Thank you for this song. It is helping me process what happened.
This song is perfect. She is at peace with the darkness that sometimes wanders into her life and makes her want to escape it and she manages to portray the pain and suicidal thoughts she experiences in a way that a lot of people can resonate with. Her thoughts are not scary, dark as they may be. It's almost as though they reach out to the listener to share in the melancholy and despair. She leaves the house tidy and tells people not to come searching for her - her resolution is clean. She has thought about it and decided and she is satisfied with what the result is going to be. Even when she tries and her feet keep touching the ground, she shows no resistance. She shows absolutely no resistance to her misery nor to her failed suicide attempt. It is scary at first - this extreme apathy, but she realizes quickly that fighting does not help and in doing so, it becomes easier for her to accept the perhaps debilitating fate that is she meant to stay alive. She makes it out of the forest alive - having treated both death and life with the same attitude. She has transcended frugal human emotions. Stunning!
Take 5 grams of shrooms and you live this song. It was the most beautiful experience of my life. I interpret this song as the experience of an ego death. And oneness with the creator of the universe
cant get this out of my head and I love it... Thankyou so much Jhene you have helped me so much in the past few years since i found you. Wish only the best for you
My girl put this movie on some days ago and after watchin it and hearing this I get it.... Death is apart of life , you gotta move on and fulfill your life to the fullest for your brother jhene, he'd want that !We love you and support you !
I have 2 brothers and one sister. My parents divorced a few years ago. I live with my dad and his wife. Sometimes my mood is depressed and I'm an anxios person. This music helps me a lot when I feel that no one else can do it the same way. #peace
I'm trying to go wherever Mama Jhene is taking us in this melody.I wish I could live in this song. Love, loss, desperation, discovery, coming out of the darkness and into His marvelous Light. She said the sun (Son) saved her, He saved me too. Thanks for putting your entire being into your music.
omg at first i didn’t notice the real meaning of this song but then i searched up jukai and everything made so much more sense jukai is a forest also known as the see of trees where it’s known for people to commit suicide and her lyrics man it’s talking ab her (someone) trying to commit s*icide and i never understood the ending of the song but it all makes sense. please take care guys 💛 u are worthy of life and i’m so proud that u made it out alive 💛 u are so strong
this will always be my favourite song of Jhene's - it resonates so deeply with me and was released during one of the lowest points of my life and helped put my journey into words; going from 'looking for a way out' back then, up to today where i can now happily say like the end of the song - "i'm okay now.. made it out alive" :)
Jhene has an angelic type of voice I can visualize what she is saying. She is truly a great artist and deserves an abounding amount of credit, more then she is getting for her work!
this song is so beautiful that it brought me to tears. it speaks to my soul. my friend invited me to her concert at the end of the month! i can't wait!!
when you high just blast this song and just look up at the wall and just listen to her voice and what she’s saying !! it’s the best feeling even if you not high
heard this for the first time, i’ve been severely depressed for years and i’ve made it out alive i never thought i’d even be this age i am today last year was my last year living for me but i’m still here cause there’s so much more to life and i deserve to fully experience every good thing and not cut it short i’ll forever love jhene the way she speaks through her songs there’s so much i relate to such a beautiful song
I think the love that she found from meeting this love interest saved her from feeling lonely in the world. If you never felt loved as a child you seek that as an adult. And therefore jhene falls in love with this guy who saves her from her loneliness. But as the album progresses you realized that they weren’t right for each other he hurt her and she felt lonely and unloved like she did before. You have to find happiness and love within yourself and then by connecting with the right people.
This saved me from mental distress I mean I could beat my bones Hell, why not To hear that crunching feeling so not afraid of going to hell That's so not my ego It would be so profound I could just sit under a big old tree Legs crossed like I'm big bino no Internet can intercross me Watch the bears swim, eat, live like themselves do Yes I could just feel my bones crushing....... This where I want to be
Jhene is my inspiration my everything !! I can relate to her so much , just like jhene I too kept a journal since I was 12 writing my everyday problems I’m now 16 and still write in my journal that means so much to me . I also lost someone so dear to me and feel everything jhene talks about I’ve never heard any other music that I can relate to as much as hers I love her and her music she will continue to inspire forever 🔐
This is a very touching song, and reading the comments here on UA-cam makes the song even more touching. But Jhene is a great soulful singer, nice soft tone to her voice. I can just roll & relax in the car for hours & listen to her music.
Had me in Tears near the end because I can relate to her seeing my dead uncle & hearing him call me by my nickname except I don't need LSD to see him I already see & hear him in my dreams.💔
You know when she says “I tried but my feet kept touching the ground”, is that attempted suicide ? ... hanging? After her brothers death she really suffered from depression
@@tiffanylcurtis2038 There’s an interview she did where she talked about this and answered your question, it was an attempt of suicide by hanging herself but that’s how she felt and so that’s how she described it. (She was on a hike) sorry if this doesn’t make sense
She isn't suicidal, she's just so content with Life she isn't afraid to face the darkness anymore. 🌻🦄
Thanks. only the real understand this
Rodney Warner 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾✌🏽
Exactly!! Simplicity is life just let it flow freely. Ase . Ase . Ase
you have to be aware of and acknowledge the darkness to love and appreciate the light 🥰🌝🌱🦋
Very true, but the only reason she isn't afraid of the darkness anymore is because she lived through it by experiencing suicidal ideations and possible attempts; can't get any darker by hitting that form of rock bottom.
hell is not a place, hell is not a certain evil. hell is other people. or the lack thereof and their lack of love. truth in these lyrics!!!
Mmampe Mahlane especially after yesterday. This is my favorite quote 😍😍
Favourite part
Mmampe Mahlane truth 100%
Jhene is so lyrically talented!!!
Loved that.It gave me the chills when she said that
"You don't get to die until you get it right, you said.. I envy the dead"
That hit my soul. Makes you think about how we all have a purpose in life and we don't die until it's fulfilled one way or another. Deep.
Niggas die everyday B
interesting aspect. I see it as she was meaning it as encouraging someone in a dark place. like no you will not die this way you will get things right. You will see the light and the happiness once again. At least hoping for it.
Agreed I came across this album as I was awakening and found out the deeper meaning of life and death also the balance
Her words describe suicide, however she sings that she made it out alive. There is sadness there but she is still fighting to live..
I agree!!!
Yeah
Yes!
she does not describe suicide. spiritual and buddhist people know this. she is describing rebirth and reincarnation, and how your soul is trapped on this planet in an endless cycle of reincarnation until you “get it right” and learn how to live right. she wants her soul to be able to ascend and therefore actually “die.”

This is what Jhene said about the song Jukai;
"One night I was in [the studio] with the Fisticuffs and we were partaking in marijuana and we were watching a documentary about Aokigahara, the suicide forest in Japan. My great-grandmother was born in Hawaii, but she's actually Japanese. My grandfather is Japanese, too. So I've always wanted to go. After my brother passed - actually, my whole life - I've been very interested in death. Not afraid of it, but interested and intrigued. I was watching that [documentary] and it was such a beautiful forest. Maybe people go there and they just feel at peace. Of course, everyone has different reasons for making that decision.
"It's definitely a place I've been in my mind: 'Hmm, if I were to decide to do that, how would I do it?' So we started with a guitar and I wanted to write a song about that place and go there in my mind. I know that sounds morbid, but it was true. It was a fantasy of me going there. It's not super obvious in the song, but I say how my feet keep touching the ground [and] it's not working for me. Then I'm saved by a guy. But in real life I was on a hike in Big Sur and I was getting emotional. Then I looked up through the trees and I saw the sun. It felt like the sun saved me, which, in itself, is [symbolic]: the Son of God or the sun in our solar system. It just felt like a love story.
"It's a double/triple entendre: The male voice that you hear throughout the album is the love interest or my conscience. He also represents the devil disguised as an angel, because he keeps offering me these drugs. It's like, 'Who are you, really?' He appears at first to be an angel, but then he turns into someone that is not."
Where did u get all of these?!
this made me fall in love more with the album. she is so relateable
Ever since I’ve heard and seen a documentary about that forest I too want to go there.
Wow I had no idea she felt this way .
The first time i ever listened to this song I didnt hear the story. Then I listeneed again and heard it. It felt like wanting to die but then making it out alive on the other side (Being saved or finding healing) It's a beautiful song.
It's so amazing how she can go through so much and still produce peaceful music 😊
I feel that's part of it. I feel dead inside and my music brings ppl to tears
Thank You Penny. You saved me. I think you saved a lot of us. Your music brings peace to my soul. Wishing you nothing but the best, now and forever, until Twenty88.

Trip was the only album I've seen heal something during my depression and suicidal tendencies two years ago. Thank you Jhené. ❤
This song makes me cry ..depression can get so hard at times
You just need to get out more

Tanyaah Horan im sure she did at some point and thats why this song is based on that.
Tanyaah Horan she lost her brother in 2012.
Yea she lost her brother and they were real close she refers to him in a lot of her songs. For example her song “promises”. 😭😭
My mom told me she went to Jukai and she met someone, they talked for a while then she forgot what she was doing so she left. I believe it was her guardian angel
" You don't get to leave until you get it right he said I envy the dead. That feeling 🌗
Lyrics:
Oh I, oh I
Oh I, oh I
Oh I, oh I
If anyone should try and find me
Just know I'm where I wanna be
I left the house all clean and tidy
Don't come searchin', please
I've made my way down to the forest
Way down to the sea of trees (the sea of trees)
The eagle grows, it gets enormous
And then it has to bleed
All the way out
All the way out
On my way out
I found a way out
Up in a tree
Up in a tree
Could you believe it?
Wouldn't you believe
Hell is not a place
Hell is not a certain evil
Hell is other people
Or the lack thereof
And their lack of love
And their lack of love
I tried, but my feet kept touchin' the ground (touch the ground)
If I died, would it even make a sound in the sea of trees? (sea of trees)
No need to bother lookin' for me
Don't come, don't come, don't come searchin' for me
You don't get to die until you get it right, you said
I envy the dead, yeah
I'm way out, I'm way out
I'm way down in the sea of trees
I'm way out
What is that I see?
Starin' back at me
Okay now
I'm okay now
Alive, alive
Made it out alive
Made it out alive
Surprise, surprise, surprise
Surprise
I'm out alive
Made it out alive
Made it out alive
Away, away, away
What are you doing out here?
I don't know
What's your name?

Are you okay?
I think you saved me
Thank you for posting this ❤️
Good job
I found this song accidentally a week to the day thatI went to the forest where I live. I'm only here bc I couldn't find the pills that I was planning on taking. Later on I found them right where I had put them. I know my daughter who passed away stopped me from finding the pills. I struggled with wanting to be here for a few days after. I know it is selfish and hurtful to others that depend on you to end your life. No judgment here. It's just my own conclusion for my situation. I'm glad I found this song. The part at the end where the man asks her if she's okay, her name and then she says that he saved her- I believe in my I interpretation that he is an Angel. Life is harsh. It can be painful or beautiful. Thank you for this song. It is helping me process what happened.
Stay strong ❤️
This song is perfect. She is at peace with the darkness that sometimes wanders into her life and makes her want to escape it and she manages to portray the pain and suicidal thoughts she experiences in a way that a lot of people can resonate with. Her thoughts are not scary, dark as they may be. It's almost as though they reach out to the listener to share in the melancholy and despair. She leaves the house tidy and tells people not to come searching for her - her resolution is clean. She has thought about it and decided and she is satisfied with what the result is going to be. Even when she tries and her feet keep touching the ground, she shows no resistance. She shows absolutely no resistance to her misery nor to her failed suicide attempt. It is scary at first - this extreme apathy, but she realizes quickly that fighting does not help and in doing so, it becomes easier for her to accept the perhaps debilitating fate that is she meant to stay alive. She makes it out of the forest alive - having treated both death and life with the same attitude. She has transcended frugal human emotions. Stunning!
I’m crying.
Take 5 grams of shrooms and you live this song. It was the most beautiful experience of my life. I interpret this song as the experience of an ego death. And oneness with the creator of the universe
Namaste 🙏 And Blessed Are You To Have A Divinely Awesome Energy Such As This!!!

Death is apart of life , you gotta move on and fulfill your life to the fullest for your brother jhene, he'd want that !We love you and support you !
this song sounds beautiful if u got beats headphones its like ur in a dream..
And jbl headphones, you hear every beat and background sounds 😭✨
This songs brings me peace when I feel like I can't go on any longer
I have 2 brothers and one sister. My parents divorced a few years ago. I live with my dad and his wife. Sometimes my mood is depressed and I'm an anxios person.
This music helps me a lot when I feel that no one else can do it the same way.
#peace
for anyone going through this feeling about yourself, you are here & you are loved. You are so strong💕
Favorite off the album 😍😍
Tracelyn Rouson me too :))
I'm trying to go wherever Mama Jhene is taking us in this melody.I wish I could live in this song. Love, loss, desperation, discovery, coming out of the darkness and into His marvelous Light. She said the sun (Son) saved her, He saved me too. Thanks for putting your entire being into your music.
omg at first i didn’t notice the real meaning of this song but then i searched up jukai and everything made so much more sense jukai is a forest also known as the see of trees where it’s known for people to commit suicide and her lyrics man it’s talking ab her (someone) trying to commit s*icide and i never understood the ending of the song but it all makes sense. please take care guys 💛 u are worthy of life and i’m so proud that u made it out alive 💛 u are so strong
same, now that i know the story behind it, i enjoy the song even more! Hope u are having a great life ✨💛
A real heartful song. My favorite! I hope Jhene Aiko gets better.
this will always be my favourite song of Jhene's - it resonates so deeply with me and was released during one of the lowest points of my life and helped put my journey into words; going from 'looking for a way out' back then, up to today where i can now happily say like the end of the song - "i'm okay now.. made it out alive" :)
Sirius angelic voice💙
This song helped me fight my depression 🙏😫 I just wish I could thank #JHENEAIKO in person😩😩😩😩😢❤️
Happy u got better!💛
Jhene has an angelic type of voice I can visualize what she is saying. She is truly a great artist and deserves an abounding amount of credit, more then she is getting for her work!
this song is so beautiful that it brought me to tears. it speaks to my soul. my friend invited me to her concert at the end of the month! i can't wait!!
“I tried but my feet kept touching the ground” I felt that ..
If you Listening to this in 2021 let's gather here.
I heard this song live in concert and it brought me to tears.
Thank you.
I had anxiety this morning tryin to figure what will calm me and this song it go away all her songs are so spiritual
when you high just blast this song and just look up at the wall and just listen to her voice and what she’s saying !! it’s the best feeling even if you not high
trippy. peppa Nah listen to this lying in the grass looking up at the sky
If y’all didn’t know “Jukai” is the name of the suicidal forest in Japan
Chilombo is a great album but this album will always have a special place in my heart.
Love the whole album but this one is my favorite 😍👌🏾💙
I had no clue this would be our last song !! I love you forever mom
You were the best thing that ever happened to me !!
heard this for the first time, i’ve been severely depressed for years and i’ve made it out alive i never thought i’d even be this age i am today last year was my last year living for me but i’m still here cause there’s so much more to life and i deserve to fully experience every good thing and not cut it short i’ll forever love jhene the way she speaks through her songs there’s so much i relate to such a beautiful song
🥹 we got this!
You always bring me to tears your amazing
I think the love that she found from meeting this love interest saved her from feeling lonely in the world. If you never felt loved as a child you seek that as an adult. And therefore jhene falls in love with this guy who saves her from her loneliness. But as the album progresses you realized that they weren’t right for each other he hurt her and she felt lonely and unloved like she did before. You have to find happiness and love within yourself and then by connecting with the right people.
you put my whole life into a song. so beautiful. thank you.
I wish she released a music video for this. Or even if it was like a minute preview. Just to see Jhene’s presence for this song, would be amazing!
I imagined it being shot in a forest with pretty flowers everywhere
KeysTheProblem FanPage yes that would be amazing, with the sun high up in the air and just her chilling. That would be an amazing visual to see!
I grew up with this song, and just know you have changed my life for the better❤
This album is beautiful ❤❤❤❤
Hell is not a place hell is other people...
hopefully this song will help people in Japan and all over the world
being playing it all morning,,i jus love ths lady s music..she sounds so sweet
This saved me from mental distress
I mean I could beat my bones
Hell, why not
To hear that crunching feeling so not afraid of going to hell
That's so not my ego
It would be so profound I could just sit under a big old tree
Legs crossed like I'm big bino no Internet can intercross me
Watch the bears swim, eat, live like themselves do
Yes I could just feel my bones crushing.......
This where I want to be
Jhene is my inspiration my everything !! I can relate to her so much , just like jhene I too kept a journal since I was 12 writing my everyday problems I’m now 16 and still write in my journal that means so much to me . I also lost someone so dear to me and feel everything jhene talks about I’ve never heard any other music that I can relate to as much as hers I love her and her music she will continue to inspire forever 🔐
this song touched my soul😢
words cannot express how exactly i feel abt this song. or how much i love it.
Goosebumps
hey i know you dont know me as yet but am doing a survey what type of music would you like to hear from male artiste
REPLY
This is one of her underrated songs
i love everyones depictions of the lyrics
This is a very touching song, and reading the comments here on UA-cam makes the song even more touching. But Jhene is a great soulful singer, nice soft tone to her voice. I can just roll & relax in the car for hours & listen to her music.
I always get emotional when I listen to this song. This entire album resonates with my spiritual journey.
This is SO beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. I can relate SO much💝🌻
Faaaaaaaave (next to while we're young)
Just putting it out there Jhené hits different when ur high😖😭
Have to admit one of my favourite Jhené songs , so much power through her words💕
I love listening to this song because it’s absolutely calming
Beautiful
man i hear this song and now i am in love with her voice..hell is other people
This song got me through a rough time and my life when she said I’m ok now I felt it to the core 😢
Thank you for helping me make it out alive
are there any other songs that have this vibe? god i love it but i cant describe it
jay electronica eternal sunshine
Grace Crumley i think Jhene's song Limbo has a chill vibe too
The Beatles - Within You, Without You
thats some acid sniffing music lol
michael edwards lmfao wtf😂😂😂Who sniffs acid???😁😁😁
rest in grace moonbin 🤍
If you haven't witnessed the Trip movie... Do yourself a favor, and watch it.✨✨💊🎶✌
Had me in Tears near the end because I can relate to her seeing my dead uncle & hearing him call me by my nickname except I don't need LSD to see him I already see & hear him in my dreams.💔
Yes
So much truth in this song that leads to the higher self! A good song to meditate to 💜
“Made it out alive “ … I love Jhene aiko
🪑 🔥 🪑
I'm glad you made it out alive. Hope your being a "good" person.
You know when she says “I tried but my feet kept touching the ground”, is that attempted suicide ? ... hanging? After her brothers death she really suffered from depression
Wow my brother died a year ago
@Estela Lopez yes
@@tiffanylcurtis2038 There’s an interview she did where she talked about this and answered your question, it was an attempt of suicide by hanging herself but that’s how she felt and so that’s how she described it. (She was on a hike) sorry if this doesn’t make sense
@@lmar228 hey which interview was that
I just read an article on what jukai is and then listened to the song again and im literally in tears rn
I remember listening to this everyday when I worked in the mountain area. This song fit my environment so well because of how peaceful both are.
