    This is super sad. Especially because the person who made this, (forgot his name, ;'( ) made it about his friend committing suicide. T^T

    The meaning of the video.
    "Don't expect for a friend to stay in your life forever"

    • @thyblank
      @thyblank 3 роки тому +16

      I thought the meaning was to keep your friends close and not to forget them or they’ll commit suicide.
      More specifically cuz they’ll feel lost and think you abandoned them, they’ll feel “unstable” without you.

  • @lehi7517
    @lehi7517 8 років тому +1046

    I feel like this song has more meaning like he didn't really build one he just had a unstable friend, possible suicidal, and always played together but once he went to college he lost connection with that friend in which the "built friend" committed suicide because he couldn't handle it alone as if he felt abandoned. Idk that just me heh
    Edit: changed the 'she' to a 'he' since people are triggered by it :))

    Here’s a story
    The boy sat next to the tree he loved to talk at with his old friend. He looked at the dead body he brought out to bury at there. The girl he met saw him outside, she didn’t plan for this but she went anyway. She was wearing a short dress of hers, trying to impress him. She took her shoes off so she could feel the soothing grass touch her feet. The girl went up to boy saying *’Hey handsome!’* He never told her about him, thinking it was embarrassing to have a friend that could barely even walk on it’s own. She was running up to him. The boy was scared she would see the body so he slide it behind the other side of the tree. The boy was sitting down with his legs out. The girl walked over and got close to him, the boy was uncomfortable with this. He put his knee up when she got even closer. There the two were, standing in a formation *(like the picture)* that was so flirtatious, the girl had to when him over! *’I have something to tell you...’* she’s whisper in his ear smiling. *’N-not now Clara...”* the boy mumbled. Clara look at him confused of why he was rejecting her actions. She put her lips close to his...kissing him. *’CLARA I SAID NOT NOW!’ the boy yelled pushing her away. Clara tried again not knowing when to give up. This time he couldn’t stop holding back the tear. He cried. *’W-what did I do?! I’m just trying to say I love you, Jack! Why don’t you like me?!’* Clara yelled raging and crying. Jack ran off crying. Clara was going to go after him, but found something...*’a broken robot?’* There she saw a metal name tag that would be used for Jack’s old friend’s grave. It read at the bottom *I’m sorry I left you for a girl...I realize you were lonely now...I’m sorry once again. -Jack, your best friend.*

    Lyrics:
    I built a friend, with three pieces of plastic and a pen
    i made him on the table in the den, I gave him my old cellphone for a head, for a head
    And we spent, holidays in my house and we left presents in the stocking
    And we bought bolts and things and strings and a new watch, that's what he got
    And we had so much fun together, we knew we'd be friends forever
    And we had so much fun together, we had so much fun
    Then i left, for college in September and we wept
    Cause we can't be together, so I kept pictures to remember my old friend
    my old friend, then i met this girl at graduation
    And forget my oldest creation, and I guess
    I'll see him next vacation, send my best I send my best
    and we had so much fun together, we knew we'd be friends forever
    and we had so much fun together, we had so much fun I came home
    To find him on the table with a note, scribbled out in pencil with a pencil and we wrote
    That he just wasn't stable all alone, all alone
    Next to him, an empty glass of water that he spilled
    All over the body that I built, it fizzled and it popped and then it killed
    And then it killed
    And we had so much fun together, we thought we'd be friends forever
    And we, had so much fun together we had so much fun
    I built a friend.
    edit: Omg this took me 30 minutes so I need support!!

    You may think that you'll be friends forever, but I had a friend (she was a girl) who I was best friends with and we did have so much fun together, and we knew that we would be friends forever, but fate had other ideas. We were super close and loved each other to death, but when her mom got arrested, she had to move in with her grandparents, going to another school. Me and her were inseparable and no one could destroy our friendship besides fate. We used to talk for hours everyday, but turned into just minutes every week, the seconds every month, now we don't talk anymore. She moved 3 years ago. I cry to this day still. while I'm 14 and crying over a girl, you're probably thinking that I'm a little bitch, but the thing is that we were the closest friends ever. So close, that God separated us. I haven't talked to her in 2 years, but I still think about her, because I love her. And it breaks my heart that I will never see the person who changed my whole life and made me who I am today. She was new to my school, so I decided to help her out. We became really good friends, but by time Christmas came, she moved. I guess that was a Christmas gift from God and fate. The worst gift ever, loosing your best friend who makes you smile just by a simple "hi" and turns the absolute worst day in the absolute best day ever with just a hug. Nothing could ruin our friendship, besides god and fate.

      freakyfrog gaming i would try getting into contact with her I had a similar situation and I hadn’t gotten the chance to contact her for several years and by then everything I had of her had been deleted both from my phone and my head so I barely remember her name since we always used nicknames but I remember everything about her and I tried getting in contact but I couldn’t I’m still sad 2 years later after trying, remembering my actual best friend who literally knew everything about me and no one is even close to taking her place and no one will it’s sad and life but I would say at least try to get into contact with her again you may get your best friend back unlike me

      @freakyfrogmusic9672 7 років тому +18

      I've tried for over a year to get into contact with her, but she got a different phone and I don't have her on any social media platforms. There is only one way for me to talk to her, and that's through a letter. I would like to talk more about this subject privately though. It gets me very sad when I talk about her. Every time I go past her neighborhood I have to hold back from bursting into tears ):

  • @bonbon__9992
    @bonbon__9992 7 років тому +134

    This reminds me of my friend... We met on the internet and were amazing friends on here...
    One day I stopped playing with her a lot.... We stopped talking and stopped hanging out.... Since I missed her we met back on the game we played and had some fun... Then something happened.. I don't remember.... That's because.... She killed her self after it.
    I don't know what happened... but something big happened to her when we stopped talking.. and I was the one there to watch her be over whelmed... I wish I had been there for her everyday I think of her. She was so nice, and she was always up for some fun.... I'll never forget her amazing personality and the game we played... Someday I'll join her... I'll see her and I'll be able to say sorry... Say sorry for not being there and ignoring her sometimes. Had I known she'd do that... I'd do everything I could to save her. Now her life is gone, yet her account still lives... Her sister uses it... I just wish that account still belonged to who made it. The person I knew so well... The person I left and never noticed what I did.
    Never leave a dear friend. They could go through something very bad and you might just not be there... I was lucky to see her last words typed, but you might not.... Spend all your free time with your friends, your family and everyone you love, because before you know it.... They'll be gone, maybe they died from a sickness without choice, or maybe they did it to escape... But it's worth your time to stay.
    Love them while you can.
    They'll be gone before you can say goodbye.

      I’m sorry
      I almost killed myself last September,
      I’m kinda paying for it
      I went to a mental hospital
      I’ve been home for two days
      I’m not just feeling better emotionally
      But physically,
      I see the world totally different now....the first 24 hours at the hospital scared me,
      But I had visitation the next day
      I told my Mom what happened
      And they fixed the problem not just for me
      But for future patients,
      I’m so thankful for my family
      And friends you have no idea
      I...I can’t believe I almost dyed then
      And I was so broken
      But now I’ve been through a lot worse,
      But yet I’ve never felt so happy
      And Appreciative
      I’m strong
      Again
      I’m so sorry about your loss
      Even though I haven’t met her I know she was strong and probably went through hell
      And never told anyone
      I’m praying for you
      God bless

    The parents say, "What friend?"
    "THE ONE I BUILT!!"
    "Oh....that...um...We threw that away..."
    "WHY!?!?"
    "It wasn't real..."
    The girl runs away back to college.

    This song reminds me of how we don't have all the time in the world. Nether do our friends and family. I've heard of so many relationships that have gone southward and nobody had time to make up. I hope my family and friends will always get over our differences, so that we will not live in guilt when time slips through our fingers. Time can be a gift and an enemy, but the truth is... we don't have all the time in the word.

    boy and girl just had a big fight, the girl is really insecure now
    girl: who would you choose , me or your family?
    boy: ofcourse my family
    girl: I knew it you never think about me!!
    boy sits down on his knee and opened a little box with a beautiful ring in it
    boy: do you want to become my family?

    its nice to have a friend that supports u in everything. you will never be lonely because in the future you may find a kind loving person that will never leave you till the end . I have this friend that's nice to other people but acts different to me shes more serious about things but if you a friend like that be grateful , reason told is that she/he acts her/his real true personality and with other people they don't act the same as they do to u they also even might trust you more then the other, be grateful of that. Even if they be mean that's their personality and except it😊

    I transfer school a lot and well...I met lot of fake people. And when i find true best friend. My mom and her boyfriend....He cheat on her and we move again.
    My only true friend was gone.
    Now i am alone again and i have to say i am not happy that girls in my school are talking behind each others back but at least i find peace in music.
    I start listening to these kinda sad songs and BTS.
    LOVE YOURSELF

      It makes people more aware of depression and suicide, while also giving people an opportunity to make fun of those things. I don't think 2018 is a good year to be alive for me, as I get sad pretty often and people don't take me seriously.

We had so much fun Together, i though we will be friends forever..💔 and then for no reason She Left :") she broke my heart and Gone, she called me Crazy all 'cause i cared about her so much. So much... I said i need you to stay, She said you need to clean your head but from what? Idk. She left me wondering why? I still can't find an answer. I've never looked at the Sun after the heartbreak i got from her. I wish i never cared about her. *Maybe* I'm crazy, maybe :") i wanna suicide.

This song just reminds me so much of her, ill never forget the memories. We recently tried to contact her again but she said that she was sorry and didn’t want anything to do with us anymore, we accepted her request and I don’t think we’ll ever talk to her ever again.. I still thank her for making me happy, and pulled me out of my addiction where i just stayed in my room, playing games nonstop. I wish she does well in life.

    The meaning was said by Alec Benjamin himself. He said that a boy built this robot toy stuff but as the boy grow up, he got to left for college. Then the robot committed suicide by spilling a glass of water onto himself (probably cause he had a cellphone for a head) cause he was all alone. He said it in his video. I just watched it

We spent five years together . But we parted .I left to a new middle school.I never had friend like her. This song made me cry because it remember her.

    As Kiba Snowpaw, a Furry male alpha Ice Wolf from the ice world of HowlStrom, with 36 years of life enriched by ice magic and a passion for gaming, I find Alec Benjamin's "I Built a Friend" to be a poignant reflection of my own experiences and struggles. This song, with its metaphorical depth and emotional narrative, strikes a chord in my heart, resonating with the isolation and the accelerated maturity I faced growing up.
    In the first verse, the creation of a friend from inanimate objects - "three pieces of plastic and a pen" - is a profound metaphor for the companionship I yearned for in my youth. Like Benjamin's character, I too had to create my own sources of companionship and joy amidst the loneliness. The line "I made him on the table in the den" speaks volumes about finding solace in one's own creativity and imagination, a theme that deeply resonates with me as an individual who often found refuge in the fantastical realms of gaming and the natural beauty of the world.
    The chorus, "And we had so much fun together, We knew we'd be friends forever," captures the innocence and hopefulness of childhood friendships. However, this hopefulness contrasts starkly with my experiences where real-life friendships were fleeting, leading me to find companionship in my gaming adventures and nature photography, where I could see beauty where others saw none.
    Verse 2 and the subsequent chorus depict the inevitable changes and the forgetting of the old friend, symbolizing how childhood innocence and friendships are often left behind as we grow older. This mirrors the struggles I faced, where I had to navigate a world that I grew to see in a way others couldn't comprehend. The pain of losing friends, coupled with the fast-paced maturity I was forced into, aligns closely with the song's themes.
    The third verse, where the character returns to find the friend he built 'killed' itself, is a powerful metaphor for the realization that what we leave behind in childhood cannot always be revived or revisited in the same way. This strikes a parallel with my journey, where revisiting past friendships and experiences never quite fills the void left by their initial loss.
    "I Built a Friend" is more than a song; it's a narrative that encapsulates the loneliness, the creation of unique coping mechanisms, and the eventual acceptance of change and loss. For me, Kiba Snowpaw, it reflects not just a childhood devoid of lasting friendships, but also the unique perspective and depth of understanding I gained in the process. It's a reminder that while we may lose friends and face loneliness, the strength and beauty we find in ourselves and the world around us can offer a different, albeit poignant, kind of companionship.

    (What I think the song means)
    I built a friend,
    With three pieces of plastic and a pen,
    I found him crying on the table in the den,
    I gave him my old cellphone to cheer him up,
    to cheer him up,
    And we spent,
    holidays at my house,
    and we left,
    presents in the stocking,
    and we bought,
    bolts and things and strings and a new watch,
    that what he got to make him happy,
    And we had so much fun together,
    We knew we'd be friends for ever,
    and we had so much fun together,
    we had so much fun,
    Then I had to left,
    for college in September and we wept,
    Cause we can't be together (In a relation ship)
    So I kept,
    Picture to remember my old friend,
    my old friend,
    then I met,
    this girl at graduation, (New GF)
    and forget, my oldest creation, (the friend)
    and I guess, Ill see him next vacation,
    I send my best,
    I send my best,
    and we had so much fun together
    we knew we'd be friends for-ever,
    and we,
    had so much fun together,
    we had so much fun,
    I came home,
    to find him on the table with a note,
    Scribbled out in pencil and he wrote:
    That he was just not stable all alone, all alone,
    Next to him,
    a rope that was tied around her neck,
    All over the body that she built,
    It choked then it strangled then it killed,
    then it killed,
    (The song goes on til the end)
    Sad I know but that was MY understanding

    This will probably get lost in the comments but I wish my best friend was still here. We knew each other since we where five and had been best friends until we turned 13. Before that we had so much fun together, never leaving each other's sides. When we where 12 she slowly became sicker and sicker and hid it from me. She hadn't told me that she got diagnosed with cancer. When we where 13, she stopped coming to school. I was worried and confused so I went to her house to find it empty. When I came home that day my mother broke the news to me that she had died the day before school started. Many people don't know what it's like to feel the pain of your child hood friend die, yes some may move away and lose touch but you still have contact. My words of advice would be to contact your old friend! Don't let something small get in between you.

    This song makes me feel sad and kinda happy.. I’ve had so many friends left in the past, even if they promised they’d stay my friend “forever”……. I’m actually grateful some of them left, the toxic ones I mean….. I miss when I was a kid when I had a strong friend group and when my mental health wasn’t bad to the point of actually needing antidepressants at 15 (you can only get them here at 16 or older usually unless it’s really needed and a doctor thing approved it)
    I miss you all, my ex best friends. We always had so much fun together when it lasted..
