"And I'll be haunting all the lives that cared for me." That was the line that got me tearing up. 😥
Same thats why i never left
That one line is why I never attempted again
“All the blood escaping me won’t end the pain” hits hard in a real good way ESPECIALLY IN DECENT RECOVERY YO. anyone else really actually experience that line & this whole song? & the cutting part is easy but the regretting part is so FUCKED
@@Sanoctis same it scared my mom when she found me I never wanted to see her like that again
The very reason I’m still here
Last year for my mom's birthday my parents were going to a Shinedown concert and badflower was one of the opening artists.
My dad hasn't heard of them before, this was the first song he heard.
He immediately showed it to me and was telling me that he wasn't sure how my mom would like it.
By the end of the song I was in tears and looking away from him.
That's how my dad found out I was suicidal and cutting.
This probably doesn't matter to anyone. But I want to thank this song.
I may not have been alive if I hadn't heard this song. Thanks to Badflower I was able to have conversations with my family that I was too scared to start before.
😭🙏😇👑👊stay STRONG Gracie!!!Please turn to God and the Lord!! They saved my life when I attempted to end it. God in the Lord are both very real! My prayers are with u and ur family!!!!!🌺💖🙏
@@davidnance2624 I mean. Kinda shitty to push your religion on someone like this, but I know you had good intentions
Stay strong! Life can be hard, but just like a storm, the pain will lift. Even the longest of storms open up to show a brighter day
That is very good. I struggled with the same thing a couple of years ago, but my parents found out from my school principal and they were able to help me. Life is better now that i'm out of that season. I can see that I have friends and family whom i love and who love me.
@@moonshadow1795 David Nance isn't pushing his religion on her, just like you aren't pushing ur beliefs on her. David Nance gave encouragement from his perspective, you gave ur encouragement from ur perspective. everyone believes something. so whatever you say is going to come out of that belief.
cheers my friend.
This song basically explains the thought of suicide and explains self-harm. It really opens up what people have dealt with yet can't explain.
"This life is overwhelming ad im ready for the next one"
That one hits hard
❤
the line that gets me is the part about him writing his note. it rings so true to my own experience
Should’ve wrote a letter, but I had nothing to write about. 😯
..HITS..LIKE..TON..BRICKS.. FALLING..ON..YOU..HITS REALLY..REALLY..HARD..
THAT IS WHERE I'M AT NOW..READY FOR THE NEXT..ONE..NEXT..LIFE..
There is a life after this one. Just like there was one before this one. Don't take things too seriously, friend. I know that's easier said than done. But it's all temporary. Love ya.
Songs don’t usually make me cry, but this did. This hits home
Same. Please stay strong
@@namratasharma3230 thank you, you too!
Yeah....
Not for me .. Its a great song ! I'm addictive to listening to this 😅....
Should try "Promise Me". The music video brought me to tears.
i have old scars from about 3 years ago and a few of them, i STILL can’t feel when i touch them because of the nerve damage.. scared the hell out of me seeing the flesh and muscle underneath. been clean since that day. stay strong loves 💗🥀
Proud of you! Stay strong always. You are loved and you deserve the world.
I still haven't gotten out if it but maybe someday. I'm fighting :))
mishti ; mishti ; it really helped me a lot to look in the mirror EVERY day and tell myself that i’m good enough and really say it with meaning. i hope you realize that you’re good enough also. i don’t know you, but i give you my utter most compassion, luck, and empathy. from your comment i can tell you’re and amazing human with a big heart ❤️ stay strong
I can relate, I definitely destroyed some nerves in my thigh when I did it. My grandma was yelling at me because of who knows what, but for some reason I got so upset that I tore it open twice. I realized what I did and started to panic. I, naturally, didn't say anything and did basic first aid on myself. I could see muscle and tissue, I knew it needed stitches bit I didn't want to hurt myself more, so I just wrapped in the worst way possible. I can't feel them when I touch them, but when I get worked up the burn. It's weird, and they get darker under water. Hate the sight of them, but they're battle scars. No one but one person knows, and now all of you people that have suffered similar situations. Please remember, they are battle scars. You are strong, you are beautiful, handsome and amazing people. If you ever, and I mean ever need someone to talk about, please let me know.
Happy you're still here.
I heard this song while going through cancer treatment. My cancer was one of the more treatable ones, but the treatment was extremely hard on my body. When I wasn't sleeping I was doubled over a toilet puking up my guts and there were a lot of days when I wondered if I could go on, if I should just end the pain, and I heard this song. It resonated with me. Two years later and I'm in remission. I still have problems left over from cancer, but I made it through.
Lost my family 4th of July. Im an bad alcoholic and I think I'm fucking done with this one too. Everything is bleak and black
@@michaelroyer388 It's been just a month, but do you feel any better? I don't know how much it can help, but remember that you are never alone in this world and eventually things will turn for the better. I hope you can find that light at the end of the tunnel.
@@JadeWithAGun yeah I'm here. Thank you!!! All is good I guess. Still drinking. Not thinking of it so much. Sometimes. All is well ty. Look me up on FB. My name is....lol
Sadly it don't get easier im a survivor for 5 years now have far more health issues than with the cancer. 4 years later with the addition of heart failure to the list of maladies caused by chemo side effects, i lost my head too and now struggle with suicidal thought. 5 attempts, but someone always intervenes.
Cancer sucks
I'm so sorry. I lost my 10 year son in 2015 to Ewing's Sarcoma. My mom died of cancer this year
Watching cancer take your loved ones definitely changes you
Theres so much pain in his words. Beauty and pain are a deadly combination.
Dont think I've ever heard a song that captures the shit running through your head everyday at a million miles a second when your in this position so accurately. It's a voice for those that cant explain themselves, a billboard for how pointless suicide is and a warning to those with loved ones in trouble
Cool
In other words listen to this song when your feeling suicidal he will tell you what happens when you kus.. basically
This isn't good for my mental health but here I am, sobbing, with this on repeat...
I survived. You're listening to the song because you know you need to heal. Love and good vibes.
same buddy
Sometimes you just gotta let it out man, you can't bottle it up forever. Believe me I've been there, more than I'd like to admit. Be safe and I hope things turn around for you ✌️
I find that confronting the thing that nearly killed me brings a certain sense of "I won that battle, it didn't take me." Listening to this song kind of makes me think about that day but then I correct myself to thinking that again, "I survived that and I'm stronger because of it." I'm not happier, far from it, but I'm still here.
You are still here. You are so strong. Keep fighting.
Same
A song that finally understands what I can’t explain
Yeah. It really carries and speaks to how my life seems to be.
Speaks the words of pain from slot of us
You're not alone
Stay strong. If No one else has told you. I love you and I value you. May better things be ahead. Many hugs. Many many hugs. I've never met you..however I love you!!
I cried listening to this and reading the lyrics. We are all together, even when we feel so alone. I don't know you, but I LOVE you!
Maybe I’m alive because I didn’t really wanna die.. that is true desperation right there. Shout out to all those going through tough times. You will pull through. Love you all.
The first time I heard this song I couldn't stop the tears from flowing. It just perfectly describes how I felt 3 years ago with a double-whammy of depression and anxiety. I honestly didn't think I'd make it to my 18th birthday. I'm 20 now and I've since gotten counseling and am in a better place mentally, but this song still hits a nerve. It's a long road to recovery, and just believing it can get better is already half the battle, but if you reach out to someone about what you're going through it can feel like a weight has been lifted off you. Even having just one person you can confide in without fear of judgement could make all the difference, as it did for me.
Look into Ketamine infusions by a physician. It will change your life. Blessings.
Thanks for putting that suicide hotline on the end. I hope it helps someone.
Angela O'Rourke wish someone would list 1 time it did....Just 1. It’s a non profit don’t they have statistics ooooh.
Ditto
Yeah but does it really help?
Mostly it doesn't (as I know)
Some fail to call it, but when you do... you know someone "cares" for you by being in that job.
But they convince you not to do anything... I find it pathetic to call it.
I did a couple times, they haven't persuaded me.
This is a personal experience, and someone who has lost one, as well as my friends and father having that experience.
Someone on the phone won't be enough.. it has to be someone that holds value.
If you are a highly charismatic person, I guess you can? But they say the most cliché things on the hotline.
My county is so corrupt that when they even hear you say anything negative, their first thought is to throw us in the mental hospital. So that's why when I get out each time, I get quieter and more secretive. There are so much things for different people, but for that stuff... you can't be too cliché because people are gonna see it. Unless, if the cliché thing is actually true.
Angela O'Rourke it helped me
lol the hotline is bullshit , i called it twice and they transfered me to a dead end
This song pretty much says it all. After several suicide attempts I still don't know how I am still here. I've overdosed hung myself gassed myself and self harmed for over 30 years. I remember being so angry at myself and everyone else when I would wake up in hospital alive. After years and years of causing trauma to myself and all the people that cared I finally decided to listen to everyone and get help for my mental health and PTSD instead of just telling everyone what they wanted to hear. I've covered my self harm scars with beautiful butterflies and pretty stuff and I now understand why I was in such a dark place and I felt like I had no other choice. I'm so happy I'm still here now and chose to make the things other people might see as nothing a blessing. Simple things like a bird landing on a branch. If your not here you can't appreciate that small thing. If I can get through it, I know you can it xxx
Hey, I know I'm two years late but I hope you're still here now and doing well. I have self harmed since the summer after my sophomore year of high school. I have thought about suicide a few times and even planned things out, but never acted on it out of fear of what would happen. I am proud to say that I have just graduated high school and I have not self harmed for the past 4 months. I have so much to live for and so do you. ❤❤❤
As a sufferer of type 1 Bipolar disorder, this song really helps explain how it feels when I’m in a depressive episode. While lately I’ve been having manic phases it’s hard on my family to understand how it feels and how to help me and support me. I used to cut as a teenager and was a rebellious and pain for them to care for. When I got diagnosed after graduating high school I was in a super dark place to the point where I thought of jumping into traffic or that every time someone hugged me they were putting cameras on me. While I haven’t cut in over 3 years there is a very thin thin sanity line that still tells me not to do these things and it’s scary sometimes. Not a day goes by when I’m not taking my meds that I don’t think of self harm. Unfortunately for me, not being medicated is NOT an option. I’ve been taking medications for 15 years of my life for ADHD and now bipolar disorder, while I was able to get off focalin and can manage my adult adhd, being 21 now I never thought life would be this hard for me. To everyone who doesn’t have it, bless you and I hope you never have to go through the trip that this disorder is, to those who say they have it when they don’t, fuck you. Why would you wanna identify as something that is such a struggle for me to handle. To those of you who also have bipolar disorder, stay strong, we are few but we are strong. And to those that believe bipolar disorder is daily ups and downs you’re so wrong and uneducated. Humans are all emotional but bipolar consists of phases, educate yourself and spread awareness to help those of us who struggle with it to not feel alone.
You feel that guys? You feel the emotion? The pain? The regret?
Whatever is going on in your life, you can get through it and come out stronger than before.
As a stranger you don't know... I promise.
i sure hope so. i attempted again today, didn’t work yet again
😢
I hope so. I can't see a way out of my pain and suffering besides this. I love the song its how I feel.
@@claytonlassiter1686 lol...
Thank you
"Suicide doesnt end the chances of life getting worse. It eliminates the possibility of it ever getting better."
I hate that quote lmao .
@@godamnit9453 It's very harmful to say to suicidal people.
@@godamnit9453 it's a really bad quote. A majority of people committing suicide aren't doing it out of fear it'll get worse, they're doing it because it's already worse than they can emotionally tolerate anymore...
i’m proud of everyone for making it this far.
thanks
Barely here...
Thank you so much. You made my day ❤
Thankyou
🤣🤣🤣
You don't know me
My friend well really my brother just committed suicide around July 10th of last year just before my birthday. He was .more than words can say about how everyone loved him. But no one knew what was wrong. I went through so much. I lived him missed him hated him all for what he did. He taught me how to fight and helped me more than I could ever help him. We graduated in 2019. I saw him for what I did not know was the last time. He grabbed me from the back shook me like a rag doll saying we did it we finally did it! Got me into college. He made me be a better guy I was lazy almost failing but he got me through it. I miss you josh. I will see you again and raise hell with you again on the golden durt road in heaven
God bless Josh
He knows his pain and he knows exactly what went wrong. He will make it all right in the end and he can give you strength too ❤️
If you ever need a friend or even just a listening ear I am here (:
@@rhiannonsieg2775 I appreciate it so much thank you !

"And all I really wanted was someone to give a little fuck, but I waited there forever and nobody even looked up." This line perfectly describes my literal cries for help that landed me in a therapist's office that did more harm than help.
It usually does. Those medications will f you up. It's love that you need and it doesn't come in pill form. Love yourself. Take care of yourself. Be your own best friend.
Wish I didn't read this... Not your fault or anything, but I just finally worked up courage to schedule myself and I have 5 days before the appt. In the past, I've had horrible experiences with therapy. Since I was freaking 6!! I didn't know what they were doing, I do now. I finally started to see.... Stopped it. Got worse. Just praying that this time will be different, because I just can't go anywhere without it.
There’s always someone who cares about you. Someone who will always miss you if you left. Even if it would just be me. I’d miss you. I hope you’re doing better. I’ve been in the same position when I was a kid. Things got better though. Things can’t be dark forever.
All the therapy in the world can't help a life with no one that really cares..
@@lyndayates7533 Love doesn't cure any illness, meds do.
I just found out that this song not only saved me in May, but also saved the man I want to be with, it saved him in May as well. These comments, this song, all the people this saved is very wholesome. I'm glad you are all still here
I had attempted suicide twice when I was 18 and within months after my second my life completely changed, just because you can't see the light yet doesn't mean that it's not right behind a corner. THINGS WILL GET BETTER. This world is too big and there's too much possibility to think that you're doomed no matter what.
This hits deep as someone who's survived 3 suicide attempts a few years back. 😥 No longer cut either. I'm in my 20's now and life's slowly getting better.
It'll keep getting better. I'm 14 and I've witnessed friends of mine end it. A year ago I felt hopeless, and now I feel like I can get up in the morning instead of making an excuse not to
I care, never feel like you shall do, turn to to that again, however is the most repectful way of saying, please dont; i care. Listen to that voice saying, you're beautiful, you're important & you will get through this. Read your comment and had to comment!
"Suicide doesn't end the possibility of things getting any worse, it ends the possibility of things getting any better"
but actually it does end the probability of things getting worse.
Actually it ends All of it. Better , worse, lonliness , being bullied, isolation, so much pain and turmoil, left behind , ignored, made fun of, too much sadness , overwhelming grief and most of all a very shattered broken heart. Nowhere to go , no ones there to talk to, way too many tears. Tear off all my skin and disappear.
It ends both possibilities dumbass smh
@@porkyminchasc1150 savage!!👌😂
Very true. Depending if you believe in any religion, you may have a after life or not.
This. This is why music is so important. You are not alone. Don't give up, we are here, you will get through this.
This song is so deep. To those who struggle please reach out to someone. It's hard to start talking but it does help when you find the right ears.
This song was given to me by a good freind in a Psych Ward who told me that this song was very special to her. Listening to it now, I understand why. Thanks for the song bailey.
PSA
never date someone you meet in a psych ward, or rehab. Just some friendly advice to anyone that may make that mistake.
I know, i know, codependent self destruction is fun... dont.
@@CNYKnifeNerd Date who you love, it's gonna be the best thing for your life
@@CNYKnifeNerd I don't think they were talking about a S/O. Just a buddy. Maybe I misunderstood tho
This song speaks to me in so many ways. When my grandmother died I tried to slit my wrists and I didn't cut deep enough. My parents don't even know about it and never will.
Me and my daughter share the same scars...so sorry about your granddaughter
@@tonyalynch980 I appreciate it greatly.
That line about you're parents not knowing hits hard. My parents don't know anything about my teen years, I thought of suicide often. At least it gets a bit better. I'm an adult now and don't think about suicide anymore, life isn't always easy but it's better. I lost my grandparents in high school and that was hard, sometimes when I think about my grandma I just break down crying still.
@@blitzen5038 I still do as well.
When my grandpa was dying in the hospital I couldn’t handle loosing my best friend so I cut in the hospital bathroom. No one ever knew about that time. I’m “better” now. But the urge still comes back sometimes.
This is the most relatable song I've ever listened to. Never even heard of this band but now I'm hooked.
My brother did this. This made me understand and face his final moments on this earth. I love you bro.
4 years clean from cutting and I wish ik this song and I wish everyone who listens to this is doing well and just know you’re loved by all the right people and I am so proud of you for getting through whatever it was you got through and you’re so strong ❤️
This song reminds me of a close friend who was struggling horribly. I pray she stays here with us. It's hard to listen to this song but I appreciate it. I love you N ❤ I'm so proud of how far you've come
These lyrics brought tears to my eyes. This song pretty much explained my whole past year, but I'm doing better now. I'd hate for anyone to experience my situation/what these lyrics describe, but this song is so beautifully and powerfully written that I think it can apply to anyone in some aspect of their life. What an amazing song. To anyone reading this: you may not want to be alive right now but there are many people who are happy you are. You got this 💪
i love that they put the hotline at the end. and this is such a true song. thats what many of us have felt before atpemting or before we go all the way. but remeber when you go all the way then your ending, the chance for a new day. God gave you a life don't waist it or end it. live knowing that your not the only one and there are people, who want to help. and not everyone knows what you've been through, or what your going to be going through. but God does believe it or not. God loves you for who you are, not for what you do or what you have done. God bess your soul. don't end your life, restore it.
Amen
Amen!!😇🙏👑
Not gonna lie, I don't necessarily agree with your comment, but couldn't contain myself from liking it to make it 69.
@@cheyennemartin2211 thanks, it's alright if you disagree, or don't fully agree, I aprieate your honesty, and thanks for like.
No one helps anyone
“The cutting part was easy, but regretting it is so fucked” makes you think
What I don't like about people that cut is I feel they are just doing it for attention when they're people actually out there that have similar thoughts end it all. It's not the same thing as thinking and doing. Not that it shouldn't be a paid attention to to, but the ones that really are in that mind State don't go parading about it. That's all. -Tammy B.
Thanks for understanding.
@@tammybrowne6510 so people substituting dying for cutting are faking to you..? we don’t go around flaunting it. we sometimes cope with humor but that’s different. the majority of people like that are in that state of mind.
@@tammybrowne6510 I've only cut ONCE in my life. When I was in high school. It didn't help. I did it because people I knew did it. I figured "if it helps...why not try it?"...it wasn't for me. When my friends who cut found out that I had cut, they (VERY understandably) freaked out. On the surface, it very likely seemed like I was just copying them for "fun"...but I thought that maybe it would help with my inner pain (which was hidden). Like I said...it didn't help me. BUT it IS a coping mechanism for some people. I am absolutely not saying it's ok to hurt yourself ever, but if you've never been in that place mentally/emotionally, it's hard to understand why someone would do it. The reason some people seem to "show it off" is because they are literally asking for help and they might not know how else to go about it. It's not easy. If that's their way of asking for help, then maybe we DO need to pay more attention to them.
Also, anyone reading this comment who needs to hear this: I'm VERY likely a complete stranger to you, but I do care. Your life is NOT insignificant, no matter what your brain tells you. Life IS hard, existing is hard...but we're all in it together.
Tammy Browne how the hell can you say that ? Do you even imagine the amount of pain you have to feel to just hold a blade, to make yourself bleed, to make yourself in pain, to cover your wrists and arms and hands and thighs and skin with scars and blood ? I mean, I won’t deny sometime leaving physical traces on your skin is a kinda proof of what you’re going through and everything. But cutting is so much than that. Cutting is calming yet so painful, cutting is something you look forward to everyday, something than can be your only escape, but something that brings you so much pain, not because of the actual pain you feel when the blade touch your skin, but when you think about it, when you hide it, when you see the disgust in your parents eyes and everything, it is so painful you just want to die (and do it again, paradoxically)
I HATE it when people say it is just for attention. Cutting is the only thing keeping me alive right now as it is probably the thing that will kill me. Judging from your comment, I don’t think you’re trying to be rude or something, you just don’t seem to understand. Well, if you don’t, try to take a fucking piece of glass and put it close to your skin. Is it easy, to self harm ? Do you think you could do that, only to draw attention ? Well, I couldn’t. (And anyway nobody would show you anything but disgust)
Cutting is a fucking double edge blade (sad pun but I think it’s true). Don’t say that people who cut are just trying to grasp attention or pity. Don’t minimise the pain. My skin wouldn’t be as it is now just for attention. People are not hanging themselves just for attention.
Have a good day.
My dad committed suicide and my boyfriend saved me from an attempt a couple years ago. I’m better now, if anyone ever needs a friend I’m here. Just stay.

Dude, putting the suicide prevention hotline at the end.. I’m not suicidal (most of the time.) but that could be really helpful❤️❤️
The suicide hotline doesnt do shit.
Chelle Belle you beat me to it.
The hotline sucks
@@chellebelle3952 Even if it's a single step in the right direction for someone who finds a better alternative, it can't hurt
Well it could be really helpful except for one small problem
Most suicide hotline workers are complete assholes, have no idea what they're doing or are bad at giving advice, also the fact they're SEVERELY understaffed and thus means if you call them with a gun pointed at your head wondering whether or not to go through with it you'll probably be on hold for 30 minutes
"This life is overwhelming and I'm ready for the next one" is the line that attached me to this song.
If you're reading this and having a rough time,hang in there. You are loved,you matter and it will get better. Love to all💜
Thank you. Good on you. Bless you.
@@N1K0LA1nAR1 Nice demi flag 👍
I was married for 11 years and was completely devoted to my wife and kids, I found out that she had been cheating on me for a while then she took our kids and left then all at once I was completely alone in a home where I would come home from work and be greeted at the door with love and open arms then all of a sudden emptiness. I now have split custody of my children but for a while when they weren't with me I contemplated suicide so many times trying to cope with everything. I felt worthless and like no one else would love me again like a spouse should, then I found the most loving and respectful woman who had been treated the same way as me and we connected and have been dating for the last 4 months and everything has been going well. If you're going through a similar situation I promise there is someone who is wanting someone like you to love and hold onto. Keep your head up and know that you're loved, you're beautiful, and unique in your own way and there is no other you for this world to enjoy your company.
i first heard this song and it hit home hard. i relate to it a little too well and it has me in my feelings but it's such a good song and i hope it shows people it's not worth it
Well, I've read some of the comments and I want to say one thing.... No matter what you face in life, taking your own life is just giving up. Everyone deserves a happy life, and throwing away your life at a low won't allow it to get better.. So if you feel suicidal, just remember, people care for you, even if you don't think so.
I followed this song for a bit. My pops passed in this covid shit. Remember this song is about hope not despair. If your feeling bad, get help, please
When i first listened to this song i wasnt really paying much attention to the lyrics but when i stopped for a second a actually listened the meaning hit me like a bus and i couldnt help tearing up Badflower has so much meaning in each song that you cant help but feel them and thats why i love them so much
My 26-year-old daughter doesn't think that anything special is in her life or ever happens in her life or to her for that matter her beautiful, smart and vibrant 5-year-old proves differently. I wish she were the one raising her instead of myself so that she would/could understand how special this little girl, who looks so very much like her, truly is. We all love you, Alex!
If you’re looking for a sign not to kill yourself, this is it. You may have messed up your life. You may have completely pulled the pin out of the grenade, and laid on it with your own choices. But I can tell you... I can PROMISE you... with every ounce of my being- your life is not over. You are not a waste. You still have meaning and purpose. Your life can still make such an enormous difference. It may make an enormous difference just for your own family.... or more families than you can count.
Thank you
Thanks..
I remember this feeling way too well, and sometimes it comes back. Depression itself is a ghost, it doesn't truly go away.
I won't promise things get better, or that everything works out.
But I do promise you have more control over your life than you think right now. This darkness might be part of you, but it is not all of you. It lies. And it twists. And it tries to take. But it's power is false. It's not your master no matter what it tries to convince you.
No one can tell you who or what you are meant to be, certainly not depression. It has no idea of your potential. Who you are and where you're going is up to you. And you do not need a grand purpose, or high ambitions to matter. You already do, that much I can promise.
You matter to me though I may never meet you or hug you or even say your name. You matter because your very existence began to create ripples through the world you may never see, but are there. Every stranger you've smiled at, every kind word you've given, every sweet thought or well wish you have ever had means something.
And I thank you for them. Keep going and make some waves.
Haven't even started the song, and I'm crying from this comment. I just feel like nothing I do matters anymore, so seeing this? Seeing you say that it DOES matter? Yeah... No stopping the tears now. I just want to thank you from the bottom of my broken-down heart. You saved a life today, mine.
Such an underrated comment that I will forever appreciate. I wish I could give you more than 1 like.
My youngest son tried to commit suicide last year I didn't judge him I was there n supportive he went n got help he needed a year later those thoughts are gone ive never told my kids I understand more then I tell them I grew up in the 70s I know what it feels like to not be wanted to be loved to want to exist n to just close my eyes but that was in my younger days but I think that helped understand his feeling's more then most who ever reads this thanks for listening I've keep what my son tried to myself n haven't spoke of it since that day be strong n there is hope out there reach out someone will listen 💓
This was me several years ago, but with a gun. Believe in God or not, you are here for a purpose. There are people whose lives are better because you are here. Everyday you impact someones life in some way. There are others who know your pain and feel for you. It has been over 20 years since I tried to give up, I beat depression. Keep up the fight no matter how bad it is, you can beat it. You are stronger than you think.
*when the people in the comments care more then your family* Me: why thank you good sirs,madams, and thems

This song is painfully beautiful. I'm drawn to it. I've struggled my whole adult life with these thoughts, and the line that I cling to in this is, "the cutting part was easy but regretting it is so fucked." Regretting it is so fucked.
i felt a lot of pain but it didnt stop my heart . cheers
Love this song! Stops my thoughts of giving up
Thank you for making this it's my favorite video of this song on here. I am trying to master it on my ukulele cause I saw them in concert and this song really makes experience so much emotion so I keep going back to this for a reference.
I don’t know who you are out there and it doesn’t really matter. Just know someone out there cares. Always.
no one does... i feel so so lonely
@@chaitannyak9505 it feels like that more often than not and it's hard to take a stranger's word for it but someone somewhere does care. I've told myself almost verbatim what you said over and over even though it's not true. Even if they may not express it, someone does care. Stay safe stay healthy ♥
Bands like these who choose to a speak a few people who's emotions control all our lives at times! It takes courage and passion to do this! Thank you to Badflower and the commenters sharing their stories! You all took tonight's blades away from me! Still struggling but better! 🙂Thank you to you all!
I listened to this song around 7:30 in the morning. I've been thinking about it all day. Now, I have to do something else. At least I got the name of the song.
What do you mean
Bruh I'm blasting it at 2 am
i remember when i got out of the hospital for a suicide attempt my mom played this song and said it reminded her of me
Dang she really called you a bad son
My dad said that to me too. I just got out 3 days ago🥺
That's really sad
Hey sweetie! I was listening to this song, and I think it really reminded me of you.
*TAKE THE BLADE AWAY FROM ME, I AM A FREAK, I AM AFRAID THAT ALL THE BLOOD ESCAPING ME WONT END THE PAIN AND ILL BE HAUNTING ALL THE LIVES THAT CARED FOR ME-- I DIED TO BE, THE WHITE GHOST OF THE MAN THAT I WAS MEANT TO BE*
@@porkyminchasc1150 DEPRESSION! FUCK YEAH!
0:31 love the instrumental part
This song came on the radio and I had to pretend like I didn't know every word. Mother looked at me very weird when I started quietly singing
Every lyric in this song gives me goosebumps, 💙 anyone going through some shit reach out to your friends family anyone, there is help there, we love you 💙
I’m married and have a family already and still hiding my scars from my parents to protect them from how they would feel about there “perfect son”
I feel ya. I attempted suicide in June of 2016. Survived that. It's still a fight. Sometimes, those feelings come back strong.
Amazing how many lives are impacted by this song. Keep fighting for another day.
Just found you by a fluke .....one of the best things that has happened to me in a long time!! This song says just what im feeling.........Someone else finally gets it.
This song hurts so much yet feels so good
I’m fucking done with life, I can’t deal with the thoughts that go through my mind every night. I will never be enough for my family. This song is literally what my life is. It’s what goes through my mind every fucking night. I can’t do this anymore.
❤
Your song would be breaking down by I Prevail. Hang in there!
please stay with us, it can be better. please
@@bean_boy4511 see the thing is it can’t get better I know I’m going to lose the fight I can’t keep fighting, I don’t know when it will happen all I know is it will, I’m sorry
@@dominicprimus3864 Please just keep going, just give us a few more steps, one step at a time. It might seem hopeless, but just know that i am rooting for you. And if you won’t do it for me, find someone you will do it for, because we’re so close to the top, and the view is so rewarding. So please, just a few more steps.
I just found this song yet I’ve never heard something that so well explains what I’m trying to say and I can’t stop listening to it. The music is great, the lyrics are amazing and the best is so catchy
Everyone: The perfect song doesnt exist
Me: well um, have ya heard of Ghost?
I've spent 22 years now as a firefighter.. volunteer from 14 to 21 then career from 21 til present.. I've seen and experienced things no one should ever have to and that combined with coming home one day after a long shift to find my then girlfriend and mother of my daughter cheating on me with the one person I considered a friend from the time I was ten till that day and I started spiraling downwards fast ... I was drinking alot doing pills and anything else I could just hoping I'd not wake up the next day ... one day I came upon this song and was scrolling through my photos and one of my daughters photos popped up and it hit me like a ton of bricks that what I was doing was selfish and she deserved better ... I've been in a much better place since then and as for her mother karma has hit her 4 fold for what she did to me.... like the saying death doesn't end the problem it only keeps things from getting better ... if you need help get it... someone out there will always love you and care about you and want you around.. i promise!!!!
"And I should have told my mother 'Mom, I love you' like a good son."
That part got me tearing up. 😥
After 1 year of having self harm scars I got them covered up with a tattoo that says "every day I fight because my fight matters". It's a reminder I gave myself that no matter how hard life is, you can find better ways to deal with your demons.
I'm not where I want to be but I've made the decision to go to bed every night. Every day I decide to give myself another day. And I'm damn proud of myself for that.
I haven't listen to this song for awhile.... I loved it when it came out.... now I'm crying my eyes because when my sister od I tried and almost die. It's sucks to be in dark place with no way out
My oldest son would always send his brothers and I songs to listen too. We communicate through music. We come from a long line of musicians, we write, compose play and sing. This was the last song he sent to my son Ben before he died from from a heroin overdose. It was an accident he would never have left his two little boys. They worshipped him and he them. His wife of 15 yrs. And her family are the coldest hearted, money loving, emotionally dead, evil tongued people I have ever known and they treated my son like he was lower than a dog turd on the bottom of their shoe. She doesn't ever want to be home with her boys. She wakes up and starts cussing, and bitching about anything she can find to bitch about. My son left me February 12th 2019 his sons were 7 and 9. He was the stay home parent he was an amazing daddy. The first thing that they said when we walked in the funeral home to see Jedidiah they looked at their mother and said it's your fault daddy's dead. This is what you always said to him and us you wished he was dead cuz we'd all be better off. The day before he died she raised his life insurance by $150,000 within 2 months she was dating her ex- fiance having him sleep in their home. She broke it off and I've been living there and taking care of my boys for nearly a year now. I have no family there I'm surrounded by her family everyday I went because the school called CPS on her. She is a respiratory therapist she works nights in Columbus Ohio it's an hour drive from home and she was leaving the boys at home alone all night long...
I'm literally dying there a little more daily. I'm back home in Western Ky. Visiting my family, I'm 60 yrs old I have Lupus I'm tired. I have the opportunity for a job that I've dreamed of for a long time here, my family's here I want to stay but I feel like I'm abandoning Jaden and Lincoln.. I'm sorry guys for pouring out like this but I don't talk about my problems I keep everything to myself but I'm at standing at the crossroad I need some advice please if you read this I'm reaching out for the first time in my life. I've always taken care of everyone am I being selfish for wanting to take this job and live my life for me... Be honest with me. I've never done anything like this so I know in my heart that there's someone our there who has a word for me. But thank you guys, my love and blessings to you all.
Love and Laughter ❣️
Lorrie
I don't have much advice except maybe try to get custody and bring them with you.
I don't know you and you don't know me but I want you to know that I support you and any decision you make. ❤️
Wow...this song makes me think of my x and it kills my soul that he feels so helpless at times....smh...love u J.C.
Dude, I don't want anything to do with s/uicide but this is an amazing song, I love it so much man.
I turn this song all the way up and yell from the top of my lungs I feel this in my soul. Even growing and have my kids I still feel this and I don’t know if it will stop but I have music to yell to when I need it
Man i love this song from beginning to end! It hits on so many levels, it's like finally finding words to feelings and pains that I could never begin to describe. I am a freak, I don't feel normal, I can't even begin to understand what even is normality! Being a single father with two kids and feeling like nothing I do is ever good enough and just wanting to be accepted by the ones I love and the ones who claim to feel the same is a miserable feeling! And as a man we're not supposed to show our feelings and to just be strong, or so I was thought but i can't help but to see the differences in me like I'm falling apart at the seems and I'm at war with my self on every front. It's crazy because I know that It's not healthy but in some messed up way I can find peace and pleasure in destroying my self. The lyrics that stand out the most to me is "I died to be the white ghost of the man that I was meant to be" because I have flirted with the possibility that if some how, or some way if I could end my life just to be that man that I wanted to be for my kids and my self I would do it. But I know that killing my self my end my story but it'll destroy some of the chapters of the people who truly love and care About me. Moral of my story is music and my kids are the only things keeping me alive and going. Thanks
I cry for others but not for myslef.
I need somebody to cry for me.
I will cry for you
@@Nobody_1. 🙇🏻♂️
This song is beautiful. Thanks for the video. Also, this song makes me feel so many emotions. It's one of the greatest songs ever
Hits me in the trans so hard. T_T
Died to become the white ghost of the man that I was meant to be.
pretty sure the singer is cis but god damn that hits deeper than I can explain.
OMG this doesn't speak to me...it screams. My life is overwhelming and I AM READY for the next one...blissful oblivion
From one Tessa to another. Please don't.
my mother felt the same way. then one night she shotgunned rum until she died. this thanksgiving will be 2 years to the day, and my sister (7 now) and i havent been the same since. so even if you feel no reason to stick around, i personally guarantee that someone, somewhere does, and will be crushed if you die. you probably cant see it, either, no one ever does. but they're there. that person is your reason.
You still here?
@@watchdog4936 Yeah...thanks for asking...actually enjoying being laid off and may just take Social Security at 67 and retire!
I tried to kill myself, I sliced my calf open about 15 times. I was on my front porch smoking what I thought would be my last cigarette, when I suddenly came to with ash on my lap and the cigarette butt on the ground. I had taken maybe three hits of that cigarette. When I realized that I had blacked out I was filled with dread and horror. I freaked out, and called an ambulance. A few days later I admitted to my brother over the phone what I done. Two days after that he called me and said 'I talked to my friend about what you went through and he showed me this song because he was so strongly reminded of it'. I cried like a child when I heard it because this is almost exactly what I experienced. I'm very glad the suicide hotline is tagged at the end of the video because not a lot of people realize how common this experience is. I myself fight that realization, just because I want my pain to feel special, and I think a lot of us want to feel the same way. It makes all the negative experiences seem better than they actually are, because we convince ourselves WE'RE the ones going through it. But we all have to accept that life is hard, and depression is even harder, for a lot of us. We need to accept that we all have regret when we try and hurt ourselves.. because we have people we care about even if we don't want to accept it. And they care about us even if they don't reach out as often as we'd like them to. It's a beautiful song and it has a beautiful meaning, my sincerest thanks the artists. My experience happened about a week and a half ago and every time I want to do it again I listen to this song and cry myself to sleep instead of hurting myself. It's not great but it's progress, and I owe that to my brother for showing me the song, and to the artists for understanding this pain and sharing it with the world.
Man this song is so fuckin deep I cry every time I hear it. For anybody out there struggling with pain or addiction keep your head up. There is meaning in this life, everybody just has to find their own
I feel this song deep. Alot dont understand depression is a real thing. It's a struggle especially when you dont have no one that understands thank god I have a wife that sees it and try too help me. All I can say thanks for the song and keep up the good fight for anyone dealing with this there are people just like you and care.
Imagine being alone since the start
The train tracks by my house have these pretty painted murals that say things like "you are loved" and "the world needs you in it". Whenever I wanna throw myself in front of a moving train I think about the fact that they probably put those quotes up there to stop suicides.
Finally, a song that says exactly how I feel.
This hits different. Such an emotional song. I’ve felt the same emotions.
Went thru a particularly painful breakup, this song resonates with me in how I wanted to kill my heart and stop being able to love.
Still feel broken and scared I can't or wont be able to feel as deeply again.
I swear this song keeps me alive. If reminds me of everyone around me. It reminds me that I have more to live for. The line "this life is overwhelming and I'm ready for the next one" stays on repeat in my brain most days. But alas.... here I continue
Happy Born Day. Paddy, I miss u so much. I think of u nearly everyday. I wish things had turned out differently. I'll see u again one day & I know u r watching over me. I love you.
Take the blade away from me!🖤🗡️🖤...( before it's too late.) I'm glad I found this song it is keeping me alive...so far.
I never saw the use of a razor, for me I thought it was too cliche and as I got older I saw more people resort to them. I didn't understand what it feels like to regret the final cut and I'm glad to never have to witness it. But we all have a shattered point in which life has given you a ball too heavy to bind to your already existing chains. from my experience, tables turn when I attempted to use the one thing that brought my any Joy when I first used a rifle, in this case a Walther ppk and 3 in the chamber in case id miss or chickened out. It's terrifying in the moment, like your not even holding the gun yourself and only a brief moment of luck and sheer will can stop you while you beg it to not go off. As rare as it is to jam first shot, it didnt fire. After the hammer fell I knew my life was over but confused as too why it didnt do it's job right. Just the thought of it gives me shivers to this day and this happened a few years ago when I was 18 or so. I'm 21 now and hoping I won't resort to it again because I know I won't be so fortunate. Life is tough, cruel, and never ending in some ways, just don't forget the knowledge and memories are tied only too you. And life is too short to throw them away before your story can be told.
Holy hell man that's some luck there. I dont know you but I'm glad you're still here
Listening to this in 2022 because all the shit from the previous years is still with you.
Sometimes i just really dont want to be alive anymore
Time heals wounds.. 🙏🙏 for u
The older I get, 33 now, I dread someone caring about what happens to me, its just one more person to get hurt. I'm not suicidal but I think about it constantly. Life has hurt inside as long as I can remember. The few loved ones I cant push away and my dogs keep me here. Getting ready to lose one of dogs to cancer and I'm dreading the thoughts that come after.
Thank u for this. Makes me just a little stronger. :)
I swear this channel has really great songs
