    “There will be a day when you can say you’re ok and mean it” and “I promise you it’ll all make sense again” are the most uplifting lyrics I’ve ever heard. Ever.

    Honestly, the ability Dodie has to actually relate to any and every person who has ever been through any tough situation just blows my mind. It's like she's having the most genuine, eye-opening conversation with you and there just happens to be incredible music accompanying. I have the utmost respect for her and her ability to write lyrics that hit home, every bloody time. She deserves everything good that ever comes her way, and more.

  • @rebeccaogden4583

    Everybody’s got a kite y’all. Ya feel like your kite is punctured and broken and the string has snapped, but other people have duck tape. They can help you fix your kite, tape it back together and bring it out of the darkness. Whatever you’re going through, you’ll be okay.

    I feel like the kite represents the internal issues we burden with ourselves constantly because we don't know how to let the negativity go since you've been holding onto it for so long. But once you learn to let all of those things go, you stop spinning in the circle and focusing on this problems - instead you learn to see the world around you that you may have missed before.
    Beautiful dodie

    • @amyb2589
      @amyb2589 6 років тому +8

      I agree - and I think when she realised there were other people going through the same thing at the end, it made it easier to let go with them, because you don't feel so alone.

    A message for people who are feeling down :
    Please , don’t die . I know you feel like know one understands what you are going through but try making some friends , Internet ones are great as it’s not as awkward as talking to people irl . Take a hot bath , maybe a shower whatever suits you , then read a book , have a snack . Do little things that make you feel okay , do things that make you feel human . Get a hot water bottle and curl up under a duvet. Keep warm . Try helping other people as well , you have experiences that give you knowledge that some people will never have and use it to help people , the reward is great.
    You’re not going to believe a word I say
    But everything will be okay
    Maybe tomorrow
    Maybe a long time from now
    But there will be a day where you can say you’re okay and mean it .
    If you need to cry
    Cry
    If you want to scream
    Scream
    Break something
    Shout as loud as you can
    This is your world
    And you are in control of it
    If something is upsetting you
    Tell someone
    More people care about you than you realise
    I promise , I care .

    The last part reminded me of when my school let go of hundreds of balloons, symbolising letting go of someone who had died who I was very close to. We would never truly let go of them, but we would discover peace, and remind ourselves that they were now at peace.
    This song and this video are pieces of art. Thank you.

    i love how the kite represents the emotions or life of the person struggling. there are highs and lows, loops and turns. but eventually, they are up high and happy with all the other ‘kites’, finally happy with their life that makes sense.

    • @meg136
      @meg136 7 років тому

    This song NEVER fails to make me cry and it’s always those two lines “there are a hundred people who will listen to you cry and I get that they don’t get it but they love you so much that you won’t regret it” those lines just open the flood gates but after I’ve cried for a little bit it doesn’t feel so bad anymore.

I just need them around to not look lonely. And they need me, cause they all have no one else. Not even each other. That’s the funny thing. All these people, and none of them really like each other at all. Some actively hate each other. They’re there for me, and I’m not nice enough to tell them to get a fucking life. So no, not amazing.

    {LYRICS}
    I've got a secret for the mad
    In a little bit of time it won't hurt so bad
    And I get that I don't get it
    But you will burn right now but then you won't regret it
    You're not gonna believe a word I say
    What's the point in just drowning another day
    And I get that I don't get it
    But the world will show you that you won't regret it
    Little things, all the stereotypes
    They're gonna help you get through this one night
    And there will be a day when you can say you're okay and mean it
    I promise you it'll all make sense again
    I promise you it'll all make sense again
    There's nothing to do right now but try
    There are a hundred people who will listen to you cry
    And I get that they don't get it
    But they love you so much that you won't regret it
    You're at the bottom, this is it
    Just get through, you will be fixed
    And you think, that I don't get it
    But I burned my way through and I don't regret it
    Little things, all the stereotypes
    They're gonna help you get through this one night
    And there will be a day when you can say you're okay and mean it
    I promise you it'll all make sense again
    I promise you it'll all make sense again
    I promise you it'll all make sense again

    alright so this is my take on it. the kite represents this person and all their feelings tying them down. the kite is flyin through the air chillin and seeing all these beautiful things but not really being able to live and enjoy it all. like when it shows the person flying the kite for the first time, the kite is just seeing everything but not living through it and enjoying it. the 100 people who will listen to you cry is all these kites being there for the main kite and right after dodie sings "you will be fixed" the kite flies off and ends up living through all the beauty. it's flying through the trees and with the beautiful nature realising that it's all making sense again. then at the end it shows all these people letting go of their kites which is them realising it will all be okay one day and they're letting go of all those feelings and emotions tying them down and holding them back

    The ending was my absolute favourite part. When everyone just appeared with their kites, it was so beautiful. And then when they all let their kites go, it felt so much more personal. These are all people, going through similar things and they can help each other, be there for each other and love one another. Let go of your kite, see those around you, and realise that you are not alone ❤️

    Dearest Dodie,
    This song came into my life at a time when I needed it the most. Last year I was diagnosed with Anxiety and Panic Disorder, and when I heard thing song for the first time, it was as if you wrote it specifically for me. I sincerely want to thank you for sharing it all those months ago. Whenever I am panicked or feeling sorry for myself because of my strange mental health, I look to this song (or your music in general) and it always calms me down. This video is beautiful, and it perfectly pairs with the song. I just sat here and completely zoned out for the duration, and I think it will serve as a great place of visual refuge for me in those moments of uncertainty. Thank you for sharing. Sending you much love.

    Been losing people like losing hairpins. So effortlessly. Strange when one thing is distorted, the other falls back in place. Blue. Everything was blue that day. The sky. The song. The bus I rode. The cover of the book I bought. And of course, the metaphor. I once read a tweet "Are you healed or distracted?" I question this almost everyday. I hope you find this someday somehow.

    Lyrics ^^
    I've got a secret for the mad
    In a little bit of time it won't hurt so bad
    And I get that I don't get it
    But you will burn right now but then you won't regret it
    You're not gonna believe a word I say
    What's the point in just drowning another day
    And I get that I don't get it
    But the world will show you that you won't regret it
    Little things, all the stereotypes
    They're gonna help you get through this one night
    And there will be a day when you can say you're okay and mean it
    I promise you it'll all make sense again
    I promise you it'll all make sense again
    There's nothing to do right now but try
    There are a hundred people who will listen to you cry
    And I get that they don't get it
    But they love you so much that you won't regret it
    You're at the bottom, this is it
    Just get through, you will be fixed
    And you think, that I don't get it
    But I burned my way through and I don't regret it
    Little things, all the stereotypes
    They're gonna help you get through this one night
    And there will be a day when you can say you're okay and mean it
    I promise you it'll all make sense again
    I promise you it'll all make sense again
    I promise you it'll all make sense again
    I promise you it'll all make sense again

    I’m currently going through emotional numbness which basically means I feel things but not like how it’s meant to be, like my feelings are in my head but not my heart, telling me what should be happening but they just aren’t. It was really bad this past summer, and I was listening to Dodie’s originals for the hundredth time & even singing along, but this time I really truly listened. And as soon as she sang “you’re at the bottom, this is it. Just get through, you will be fixed,” I completely broke down and every single feeling came rushing in and it was an experience like nothing else. I haven’t felt emotions that strong since then, but I know that one day that’ll be what’s normal for me, and I’m very excited for that. This song & Dodie hold a very special place in my heart, thank you Dodie for being this kind and sharing your thoughts with us like this

    this song is so therapeutic for me. I've recently gone through the worst 4 years of my life where I was (an still am) struggling with extreme anxiety, depression, and depersonalization/derealization. I've gotten so far down that I attempted, more than once. But now i'm on anti-depressants and you know what? I went ice skating for one of the first times ever and talked to a bunch of people there, and just a couple of months ago I would get hour-long panic attacks just by thinking of going to school and seeing people. What dodie says really is true, you just gotta stick through it because where theres a beginning, there is always an end.

    So many little things to notice that I don't know if they were intentional or not. For example:
    -when the little plants in the background became big and the trees were smaller it just makes so much sense, sometimes the small things are just looming over you while the big things can feel so easy to deal with
    -The way the seasons flowed, there was more winter/fall than spring/summer. It always feels worse than it does sunny but if you keep moving you'll come to a good spot.
    -And the last thing I noticed is that when she finally let go of her kite the tree's stopped falling apart really fast like they normally did which I think means that while your going through tough times living can feel like a blur.
    Sorry for any mistakes or confusing statements I'm typing through tears.

We then found something called hypnotherapy. The person basically lightly hypnotizes him, and brings back memories that have been lost, and they solve it together. It has worked wonders on my brother. I hope your friend is ok.

    here's my take on this video (it's beautiful by the way, absolutely wonderful. i loved it)
    The kites are symbolic for everyone's mental health. for some, they flourish. for others, there's not much wind. but the wind isn't exactly something you can entirely control. if it's a very windy day, you can get ahead of yourself and be blown away, flying randomly everywhere, everything happening so fast, and causing you to panic. the best thing to do to control the wind when it's too hectic, is to ground yourself. find a friend to confide in and to keep you from flying away.
    on the other hand, there can sometimes be no wind at all. "you're at the bottom, this is it." there are some days when you feel like you're sinking and everything you do is so much effort. your kite is on the ground, limp, lifeless, and dull. but the wind will always come back and pick you back up. and if you have no wind often, artificial wind is fine. (im talking about fans, aka anti-depressants)
    whether or not there's just enough wind, too much, or not enough, everyone else has their own kite and their own journey. you're never alone in whatever high or low you're in. and if you get stuck in a tree, someone who has been there will understand and help.

    I’m listening to this song after so many months, and it’s bringing all those memories back. Last year, I was severely depressed and had a really bad anxiety problem. I was so fed up that one day I hopped in my tub, took a blade and held it up against my arm. I had previously written suicide notes to my friends and family; I was ready to go. However, I decided not to do it. Once I got out of the bathroom I unlocked my phone and launched UA-cam, this song was the first thing on my recommendation. I clicked on it since I loved your other songs and when I listened to the lyrics, I broke down crying. It was a sign that I had to try to live, to look for help. Here I am, over a year later grateful for this song and for the opportunities it gave me. Thank you Dodie for doing this❤️

    About a year ago, I was walking over to the cupboard and was genuinely considering overdosing because my sadness and depression had simply become too much to bear. I'd texted a friend of mine, saying what I was intending to do. I figured that if anyone could help me out of it, they could.
    And they did. They said a lot of meaningful things, but one that I very distinctly remember is when they told me to listen to Secret of the Mad and 6/10. I was apprehensive, but I did. I sat down on my couch, took out my phone, plugged in my earbuds, and put on Secret For the Mad.
    And I cried. I cried a l o t. Because I knew what Dodie was trying to say. I knew that what she was saying is true. And it pulled me through that night. I went back to my room, away from the cupboard, and listened to Dodie's music. I listened to it and cried until I eventually fell asleep. While I was still sad, I was hopeful, and I was alive.
    Now, a year later, I've struggled through a lot of things, and still am dealing with depression (among other things) but I feel so much better. Without this song, I'm not sure if I'd still be here.

    I've been wanting to get a secret for the mad tattoo for so long, but I never knew what to do for it. I want this kite.

    This song is one of the most sincerest comforts I’ve ever felt as someone struggling with mental illness.
    I’ve listened to this at many points in my life, and it never ceases to remind me things will be okay.

    dodie has no idea what these words mean to me and Im pretty sure mentally ill people around the world. I cant listen to it without crying. This is beautiful yet so simple and despite being simple it hits so hard but exactly where it needs to hit you. This is art with a message. She has saved people with this song Im sure 💕💕

    What I love about this song
    1.) it is literally all carried by dodie's wonderful, powerful voice
    2.) the deep, sensitive lyrics
    3.) the repetitive key to symbolise what this song is all about
    4.) this beautiful amination
    Anymore?

    I listen to this every single day on my way to school
    Just because I had liked it tbh, and it was a good song to start the day with
    A few weeks ago, my best friend of 3 years decided I wasn't good enough, and cut ties with me
    The next day when I was listening to this, I actually listened.
    I had always liked the song, but I never actually listened.
    I heard the lyrics, but I didn't listen
    It hit me - I will get through this
    WIth the lyric "there are a hundred people who will listen to you cry", I just started crying.
    Just, crying.
    Other people have gotten through this situation
    Other people love me so so much
    Other people love me
    They love me
    And I would get through this
    Thank you so much Dodie for all you have done, I hope I'll see you at SitC and be able to put into words how much you've helped me
    Thank you

    the lines "I get that I don't get it" and "you think that I don't get it...but" mean so much to me
