I would replace all of my joints with robotic parts. I would augment my faulty lump of a brain with memory that does not fail and good processing capabilities. My eyes replaced with machines that can actually see without horrendous visual aberration. Instead of my skin feeling like it is constantly surging with electrical pain I would replace it with something that could actually conduct an electric shock to others
It feels so nice to finally have someone say “I’m so sorry” instead of saying “nooooo your body is perfect” because if it was, I wouldn’t have all these health problems, reminders of my trauma, and I would be in the right skin
I don't think this is exclusively about trans people, people with eating disorders, disabled people, etc. I think it's an ode to the human race as a whole, not even just to humans, to every organism ever known. It's dedicated to anything that relies on a corporeal form to live.
This song reminds me of something my therapist once told me. He said “so what are you going to do, dismember yourself for being born a man? Being a human being is a very wretched thing. But since your father won’t say it, I’m sorry. I’m sorry for bringing you into this order.”
I have a connective tissue disorder that affects literally every inch, centimeter, cell of my body. There’s usually a few select AJJ songs I keep on repeat, but this is definitely the one for today.
one of the most beautiful things about this song is that it's so... applicable. trans people, sexual trauma survivors, people with chronic illnesses and disabilities, people who struggle/have struggled with self-harm and addiction, people with eating disorders, people who struggle with mental illness, people with body image issues and body dysmorphia... as someone who fits in several of those categories, i'm sorry we all have to have bodies, and i love you guys.
As someone who also fits multiple of those categories I want to say your doing great and I'm proud of you even if I don't know you ❤️💕❤️ have a great day!
theres also those of us who are trying to recover from physical self harm, where sometimes just seeing or touching your bare skin can trigger the urge.
Anyone else feel like they don’t belong in a body? Not just their body but any body. Somthing completely else. Invisible but able to communicate and interact with things and understand them. Almost like somthing like a spirit, but not dead... it’s so confusing but it’s nice
sorry for how late this reply is, but i just wanted to say that this is so dang relatable- i was telling my mom about how i feel like this and she didnt understand, but im so glad someone does omg-
@@SpikeyBagel agreed. It’s dumb, like why can’t I float around and casually talk to people through their brains, all I want is to do cool sheet all day everyday and never have to do anything.
This is the best in that it doesn't play that game of "my specific problem is worse than yours" it acknowledges almost all ailments mental and physical because in order to be ill you must first have a body that is under strain. This is the level we can all stand by and be the same for different reasons
This song is comforting because it's hard just being human with a physical body with living organs that can fail and create constant fear for you, existence is painfull and we dont know why were here or if were even supposed to be here, but we do it anyway because that's what drives us to live and continue living with consciousness, the only existence we've ever known.
this makes me feel both anxiety and comfort. just like my body. this song means so much to me, as im experiencing dysphoria and its like it gets me. thank you.
Experienced the same thing here. The song makes so many things, I agree with every sentence Im this song. I’m so proud of u man, I’m still fighting but I will one day feel free, I hope so..
hello trans people people with low self esteem people who have/ have had eating disorders people who have self harmed before everyone who feels alienated by their own body people who have been assaulted before everyone who has to live with trauma i hope you know that you‘re loved and that you’re doing great

Wow. As someone who's trans, has been sexually abused, has chronic illness AND and eating disorder... I can't even begin to describe how much this resonates with me. Every time I hear this song I begin to tear up, but at the same time, I can't stop listening to it...
As a person with Aspergers this song really hit home for me the difficulty of trying to talk to someone but you just can’t it’s hard when you have an any illness mental or not people Will always take advantage of you and they expect you to act like you don’t have one
As someone that suffered from chronic pain everyday for years, im happy to hear a song that just isnt about saying that my body is perfect, but intstead apologies for the pain out bodies put us through, this song is a very comforting song for me.
This song makes me so happy I'm currently trying to recover from anorexia and I ate today!!!! This song helps a lot it makes me feel like I'm not alone❤

This song always makes me tear up, it's finally put how I feel into words. As a trans man in a DID system, it is very hard for me knowing that I can probably never transition, as our host and the other alters are very feminine and I would never wish dysphoria on them either. I'm so sorry that I have to share this body and cause trouble for everyone. -Josh

god that must be so insanely tough. it's hard enough dealing with dysphoria on its own, but being unable to even really transition because you're not the only one in your body... i'm sorry. i hope that you'll be able to find a compromise between you and the others that lets you all be comfortable or you'll find more acceptance in your body as time passes, and that if you don't already have friends that know about your system and make sure to use the right name and pronouns for you, that you'll find some soon. i have no idea how safe it is for you to bind and/or pack when you're fronting since the others all present femininely, or if you'd be comfortable experimenting with makeup to give you a natural masc look (i know the connotations of makeup tend to make it so that not a lot of trans men/mascs want much to do with it, but considering i've seen people completely transform themselves even just for cosplay, it's an option) - or if either of those are even really feasible for you and your system - but even if you only do it at home for yourself, maybe it could help a little...? wishing you and everyone else in the system the best
I automatically get this song playing in my head when I'm sick lol. Hits different after i learnt that a guy of the past really only wanted me for my body and tried to coerce me into bodily things. I don't care about my body. Why do others do that so much. So thank you for being understanding that i sometimes would wish to be a cosmical creature without a physical form at all
I've struggled with health anxiety for most of my life and feel like my body is constantly trying to betray me. This song reaches a part of me no other song has.
[Chorus] I'm so sorry that you have to have a body I'm so sorry that you have to have a body, oh yeah I'm very sorry that you have to have a body [Verse 1] One that will hurt you and be the subject of so much of your fear It will betray you Be used against you Then it will fail on you, my dear But before that, you'll be a doormat For every vicious narcissist in the world Oh, how they'll screw you all up and over Then feed you silence for dessert [Chorus] I'm so sorry that you have to have a body So very sorry that you have to have a body, oh yeah I'm sorry that you have to have a body [Verse 2] Filled with infection One hundred scabs Singing in unison Eyes and hands Sometimes bullets Uninvited Passing through us Uninvited Passing through us [Outro] I'm sorry that you have to have a body I'm so sorry that you have to have a body
As a trans man who's suffered through an ED and CSA many times, as well as C-PTSD, this feels like falling asleep on a cold bed in summer. This and Rejoice are my fav songs of yours. They just give off the comforting feel of it's the end and I'm sorry.
I also deeply relate to both this song and Rejoice, I’m trans, have dealt with an uncomfortable amount of SA, and live in serious chronic pain and I know how powerful it is to deeply relate to both songs. I love everyone even if I don’t like a fair amount of people and have grown to hate a few and I understand how difficult it is to maintain that love at the same time that everything inside of you is screaming at you. It’s not an easy thing to do and you should be proud of who you are.
This song makes me cry because how much I realize that my body is the key source to my sadness and wishing I had approval that I looked good. I struggle with low self esteem and wishing I would get skinner so my mom would stop talking about how I need to lose weight and smile more.
Started testosterone a few weeks ago, I am a trans disabled man and this song will always make me feel safe and understood. I literally couldn't ask for more than what this band and everyone behind it has given to the community. You genuinely give me more faith in humanity daily, and I'm always enthusiastic to see new content, that being music or shitposts honestly. You're my favorite band, and for very good reason
Sometimes I feel like my body is coming apart or decaying while I’m still in it. I don’t know why and I don’t think I should feel this way since I don’t have a chronic illness or anything, but this song has been giving me some massive comfort ever since I first heard it
I have a body but I miss having another body to hold hands with and hug on a chilly winter's day. That other body would have a face with tender eyes to look at me, and a mouth with which to smile.
This is my favorite song off the album and it does such a good job of speaking to feelings that I think are unique to me, but at the same time being universal. It's a song for all of us.
no matter how much i want to be something that has no form - like the sunlight or the wind - i’m still happy i’m able to hug people with these arms and this chest.
even though I dont have body image issues, this song is the most comforting thing ever to me. no matter how bad of a breakdown I'm suffering, when I turn this song on it dries my tears. I know AJJ likely wont see this, but I'd just like to thank them for giving this song to the world, and by extension, me.
This song is my dysphoria comfort song. It makes me feel like someone sees me and that I am heard. I know that AJJ will never see this but this song is song important to me.
I've been trying to find something to comment for over half an hour now, but I can't without going on a tangent about how my life sucks... This song just makes me feel understood, for a change...
One of the few songs that's made tears well up in my eyes. Feels good to be understood, and see so many other people feel something similar gathering in one place.
as a person who struggles with sh, this song, especially the comments on this- fills a little hole in me letting me know i’m not alone. this feeling is familiar which is awful but we will surpass one day.
As someone who’s struggled with body image issues my entire life along with eating disorders (binge eating disorder & now anorexia), this song hits close to home. I used to sit in my room crying as I listened to this song. It feels nice to hear someone understand, to apologize for all the pain my body has caused me by just looking the way it does. Although, I don’t want to put all the blame on my body itself. All it’s ever done for me is carry me through life, help me function, try to keep me alive, and protect me. I think we should give our bodies more credit, and put more of the blame on society for making us hate our bodies the way we often do. No matter what your body looks like, it’s been there for you your entire life. Even if it fails you or causes you pain, all it really wants is to keep you alive. It loves you very much, in a sense.
I don’t know why but this is helping my anxiety that suddenly spiked up so thank you. I’m very confused because my anxiety is about the subject of this song but if it works it works.
12 years and your music still speaks to my soul. Thank you Andrew Jackson Jihad...I’m still peopling. Also I still say your music should be on vinyl records mandatorily.
I hate my body. Every part of it. And it saddens me deeply to know I'm not the only one. I wish people could just see my energy and my essence, without this container. To everyone else struggling, i see you, i know how intimate and sharp the pain is, and i'm sending u small little hugs and love. You're not alone in feeling this way.
"The body was designed in the first place to satisfy the spiritual being we call man, and to be used as a vessel in the 3D so that purpose could be fulfilled"
As someone who has been struggling with bulimia and body dysmorphic disorder for over two years, this song brings me so much comfort I listen to it all the time and sing it to myself in times of self-hatred, thank you so much for this song, it speaks to so many people and has helped me quite a bit
I’ve got really bad hypochondria/ health anxiety and this song just makes me feel understood, I don’t even know if the song is about what I’m struggling from but I relate to it a lot and it’s very comforting.
This is my song. My safe space. My truth and my mind. It‘s the most honest song that talks about my feelings about myself that I ever heard and it will always give me a feeling of acceptance and safety.

I'm so sorry that you have to have a body
So very sorry that you have to have a body, oh yeah
I'm sorry that you have to have a body
[Verse 2]
Filled with infection
One hundred scabs
Singing in unison
Eyes and hands
Sometimes bullets
Uninvited
Passing through us
Uninvited
Passing through us
[Outro]
I'm sorry that you have to have a body
I'm so sorry that you have to have a body
My dysphoria 🤝 My insecurities

Relating to this song
As a trans man who's suffered through an ED and CSA many times, as well as C-PTSD, this feels like falling asleep on a cold bed in summer. This and Rejoice are my fav songs of yours. They just give off the comforting feel of it's the end and I'm sorry.
I also deeply relate to both this song and Rejoice, I’m trans, have dealt with an uncomfortable amount of SA, and live in serious chronic pain and I know how powerful it is to deeply relate to both songs. I love everyone even if I don’t like a fair amount of people and have grown to hate a few and I understand how difficult it is to maintain that love at the same time that everything inside of you is screaming at you. It’s not an easy thing to do and you should be proud of who you are.
They perfectly captured how trauma and body dysmorphia feels with both this song and visual
This song makes me cry because how much I realize that my body is the key source to my sadness and wishing I had approval that I looked good. I struggle with low self esteem and wishing I would get skinner so my mom would stop talking about how I need to lose weight and smile more.
so much loaded imagery to company such a poetic song
Started testosterone a few weeks ago, I am a trans disabled man and this song will always make me feel safe and understood. I literally couldn't ask for more than what this band and everyone behind it has given to the community. You genuinely give me more faith in humanity daily, and I'm always enthusiastic to see new content, that being music or shitposts honestly. You're my favorite band, and for very good reason
for the transphobes that are gonna say : yOur TrANsNess i S uR dIsaBiLiTy!!! please stfu
@@maxnickles Speaking for other people you think need defending is such a giveaway about the type of person you are.
@@ChuckNorrizHIM It means we care
@@ChuckNorrizHIM What?
I hope it goes well
And i wish you the best of luck
it’s honestly concerning how much i relate to this song. alas, i find much solace and peacefulness in this.
This song finally explains the feeling of being irrationally afraid of my own body.
Sometimes I feel like my body is coming apart or decaying while I’m still in it. I don’t know why and I don’t think I should feel this way since I don’t have a chronic illness or anything, but this song has been giving me some massive comfort ever since I first heard it
Same
I have a body but I miss having another body to hold hands with and hug on a chilly winter's day. That other body would have a face with tender eyes to look at me, and a mouth with which to smile.
As someone who struggles with self harm and body dysmorphia, this is something I can relate to. It’s nice knowing I’m not alone, though.
Going through cancer treatment I can’t relate more to this song
Im sorry.. I hope everything can go well for you❤️
This song is weirdly gentle. Visceral, but gentle, and I appreciate that
This is my favorite song off the album and it does such a good job of speaking to feelings that I think are unique to me, but at the same time being universal. It's a song for all of us.
no matter how much i want to be something that has no form - like the sunlight or the wind - i’m still happy i’m able to hug people with these arms and this chest.
the fact that so many people with so many different afflictions are moved by this song helps me feel less isolated. i wish you all well 💕
As someone who’s depression has taken a turn for the worse, this song is a huge comfort
This song is making me feel understood!
AJJ was probably the last band I'd expect to blow up on tiktok but I'm really glad it's caused more people listening to their music
This reminds me of the mother mother song body
Like ajj’s take on that almost sorta but it’s still different
Jack stauber x mother mothed
they definitely fit the same vibe, but i think ajj sounds a bit more sentimental.
this song feels like a warm hug
I’m so glad ajj is getting more attention considering they’re one of my favorite bands
I struggle with disorders and depression and this just makes me feel loved even when I’m not I can’t really explain it well
0:55 this hit me too close
same i hate having body dysmorphia
even though I dont have body image issues, this song is the most comforting thing ever to me. no matter how bad of a breakdown I'm suffering, when I turn this song on it dries my tears. I know AJJ likely wont see this, but I'd just like to thank them for giving this song to the world, and by extension, me.
Listened to this the dsy it came out, and did every day for about a year. Things got a bit better but fuck this song is amazing.
This song is my dysphoria comfort song. It makes me feel like someone sees me and that I am heard. I know that AJJ will never see this but this song is song important to me.
I've been trying to find something to comment for over half an hour now, but I can't without going on a tangent about how my life sucks... This song just makes me feel understood, for a change...
0:32 this is what this song is about for me. to me, it's an apology for everyone who did and will do you wrong
Same.
i love this so freakin much
One of the few songs that's made tears well up in my eyes. Feels good to be understood, and see so many other people feel something similar gathering in one place.
I'm sitting in my bed reaching into a bucket. Thank you for always being here through music.
as a person who struggles with sh, this song, especially the comments on this- fills a little hole in me letting me know i’m not alone. this feeling is familiar which is awful but we will surpass one day.
I'm so happy this song is seeing the success that it is, they seriously deserve it. Can't wait til I can see them live again!
I needed this because my body is the reason for most of my pain and anxiety
As someone who’s struggled with body image issues my entire life along with eating disorders (binge eating disorder & now anorexia), this song hits close to home. I used to sit in my room crying as I listened to this song. It feels nice to hear someone understand, to apologize for all the pain my body has caused me by just looking the way it does. Although, I don’t want to put all the blame on my body itself. All it’s ever done for me is carry me through life, help me function, try to keep me alive, and protect me. I think we should give our bodies more credit, and put more of the blame on society for making us hate our bodies the way we often do. No matter what your body looks like, it’s been there for you your entire life. Even if it fails you or causes you pain, all it really wants is to keep you alive. It loves you very much, in a sense.
Just a couple of years, waiting for hormone replacement therapy, love this song, relatable af

I don’t know why but this is helping my anxiety that suddenly spiked up so thank you. I’m very confused because my anxiety is about the subject of this song but if it works it works.
this is such a gorgeous music video im so obsessed with the animation
This song is so beautiful and can be applied to so many different situations.
12 years and your music still speaks to my soul. Thank you Andrew Jackson Jihad...I’m still peopling.
Also I still say your music should be on vinyl records mandatorily.
our stuff is on vinyl! shop.ajjtheband.com
im honestly so glad ppl are here from tiktok. ajj is such a sick band and its good theyre finally getting more popular ^^
This is the most beautiful and weird thing ever and I’m all for it
I hate my body. Every part of it. And it saddens me deeply to know I'm not the only one. I wish people could just see my energy and my essence, without this container. To everyone else struggling, i see you, i know how intimate and sharp the pain is, and i'm sending u small little hugs and love. You're not alone in feeling this way.
i wish i could just be a brain. but then they’ll criticize my wrinkles and the size of each lobe
00:08 i cant do this anymore
NO NONOA
I dont remember making this comment
Anyone else hear eggs cracking when they loop this song for the fifth time?
When in the song?
"The body was designed in the first place to satisfy the spiritual being we call man, and to be used as a vessel in the 3D so that purpose could be fulfilled"
Can you explain what this means to stupid people like me or maybe just me

Same dw
his voice reminds me of the warmth i feel when i have a fever
Dismorphia Anthem 🥰
Yea 🥰🤩🤪
As someone who has been struggling with bulimia and body dysmorphic disorder for over two years, this song brings me so much comfort I listen to it all the time and sing it to myself in times of self-hatred, thank you so much for this song, it speaks to so many people and has helped me quite a bit
I love the video. It's very fluid. Neat.
I’ve got really bad hypochondria/ health anxiety and this song just makes me feel understood, I don’t even know if the song is about what I’m struggling from but I relate to it a lot and it’s very comforting.
Song always hits me right in the dysphoria
This is my song. My safe space. My truth and my mind. It‘s the most honest song that talks about my feelings about myself that I ever heard and it will always give me a feeling of acceptance and safety.
