Seriously though like that just messes me up every time. It's pure art and you can just hear the desperation. When any art can make you feel what the artist does, it's just beautiful
People tend to forget that screaming is an "emotion". You don't only scream out in anger. Its just sad when people do not realise that. This kind of music has a lot more meaning and has helped so many more people than any pop song ever could.
Screaming is the only way to express a certain type of pain. The pain where you hurt so bad and you are so angry at the feeling of constantly feeling broken and worthless but feeling trapped without any way to change things. People hear the scream and don't listen to the words and fail to understand songs like this with heavy screams are some of the most emotional songs you will ever hear.
ik you put it in quotes, but screaming is absolutely not an emotion; screaming comes as a result of certain emotions you feel. and you don’t know what any pop song has or has not done for someone. stop judging just because you feel judged about your taste in music
Bro... listening to this years after really brings back memories. I used to feel so broken, I used to cut myself, I went to counselling, I had no one who’d hug me. I’m 21 now, moved out of home at 18, I’m so much fuckin better, I love my life. You guys will get through this. Edit. This song hits different now that my brother passed away from OD a month ago. There’s always something different going wrong aye. I think I’ve hit rock bottom first time in a while.
3:11 holy shit that always gets me crying. "How are we on a scale of one to ten?" "Could you tell me what you see?" "Do you wanna talk about it?" "How does that make you feel?" "Have you ever took a blade to your wrists?" "Have you been skipping meals?" "We're gonna try sledging new today" "How does that make you feel?"
żømběygïrl øf đěāţh reminds me of when I was hospitalized a few times 3 years ago. This song brings it all back. Reminds me that I've changed so much for the better. Mental illness and substance addictions are fucking brutal. You basically become your own shadow because there's nothing really there anymore. Therapy and wanting to get better and really live life is what keeps me alive. Everyday can have its ups and downs but you just keep fighting just to prove you can and will be happy someday.
the part of this song that ALWAYS brings me to tears is the "how are we on a scale of one to ten? could you tell me what you see? do you wanna talk about it? how does that make you feel?" personally, every time i hear this, i can't help but hear the sarcasm of these lyrics. maybe it's just me, but when i was going through therapy, when i was feeling less than human because of my depression, these are questions i was asked frequently. but these are questions that will never have a definitive answer. i could never accurately explain how i felt, nor could i even hope to make anyone understand why i felt the way i did. it's hard to make someone understand your depression, your anxiety, your thoughts, when they haven't experienced it themselves. and while this song brings back so many shitty memories, it is my favorite -- it is beautiful. because it's a reminder that i'm not alone.
this song brings tears to my eyes too, but it's the lines "have you ever took a blad to your wrist / have you been skipping meals" that does it. the thought that so many kids nowadays can relate to this line... it broke my heart when i first heard the song :(
@@priscilla5605 idk as someone with anxiety and ADHD I vividly remember my teachers asking me theses exact same questions, just singling you out as being the "troubled child". I hated that shit so much. No good psychologist should be asking questions like those
I get this song now. In the beginning he talks about his addiction to drugs. The hospital for souls is the REHAB he went into. The lyrics throughout are the conversations he had with this doctor. did you ever slit your wrists? have you been skipping meals? were going to try something new today..how does that make you feel? interesting and he doesn't want them to leave him there to burn
Crissy Bailey finally someone who understands the mean of a song, only idiots saying that this song is for emo fags and melodramatic... they dont know what passing through drugs is, hoping that one day they will understand whats real pain...
Crissy Bailey i first heard this song when i was in and out of inpatient therapy and it all made sense immediately. He captures the feeling of addiction and the apathy of it all so well. Love this song to this day~
I'm sorry for your loss. I agree. I did the same thing. I thought I couldn't fear death any longer. I was so fucking wrong. It isn't the answer. No matter how bad it gets guys... just never stop fighting. Please.
Lyrics And then I found out how hard it is to really change Even hell can get comfy once you've settled in I just wanted the numb inside me to leave No matter how fucked you get The sun will return and you come back down! The funny thing is all I ever wanted I already had There's glimpses of heaven in every day In the friends that I have, the music I made The love that I feel, I just had to start again The days are a death wish A witch hunt for an exit I am powerless The fragile, the broken Sit in circles and stay unspoken We are powerless Because we all walk alone on an empty staircase Idle in the halls and nameless faces I am powerless Everybody wants to go to heaven But nobody wants to die I can fear death no longer I've died a thousand times A wasteful universe And we don't know our soul was Emptiness inside our heads But no one dares to dwell Throw me to the flames Watch me burn Set my world ablaze Watch me burn How are we on a scale of one to ten? You can tell me, what do you say? Do you wanna talk about it? How does that make you feel? Have you ever took a blade to your wrists Have you've been skipping meals We're gonna try something new today How does that make you feel? Hold me close, don't let go, watch me Hold me close, don't let go, watch me Hold me close, don't let go, watch me In this hospital for souls Hold me close, don't let go, watch me Hold me close, don't let go, watch me Hold me close, don't let go, watch me In this hospital for souls Hold me close, don't let go, watch me Hold me close, don't let go, watch me Hold me close, don't let go, watch me In this hospital for souls Hold me close, don't let go, watch me burn Hold me close, tell me go, watch me burn Hold me close, don't let go, watch me burn In this hospital for souls Hold me close, don't let go, watch me burn Hold me close, tell me go, watch me burn Hold me close, don't let go, watch me burn In this hospital for souls
First time I heard this song, I was 15. Now I'm 23, listening to it again for the first time. It hits much harder than it did now, now that I'm not an angsty teen and I've been through hell and back. Fuck, I am so goddamn proud of me.
To whomever is reading this: Thank you so much for existing. Whatever you're going through right now, it can't stay that way forever. Please stay strong. You're not alone. "How are we on a scale of one to ten? Could you tell me what you see? Do you wanna talk about it? How does that make you feel? Have you ever took a blade to your wrists? Have you been skipping meals? We're gunna try something new today. How does that make you feel?"
+trying to smile this is going to sound stupid, and cliche, but trust me, the world needs people like you, to make an impact from your perspective. hold on. Oliver skyes can, so can you. be brave. people care about you. I care about you. be brave
i met my best friend in a mental hospital (a hospital for souls) and this song is my life preserver, and this song kept me alive when nothing else did. thank you, Bring me the Horizon, without you, i wouldn't have met my best friend, and i wouldn't be here today. these lyrics embraced me when i didn't want to do anything, it made me feel understood, thank you
I've been through the trenches of depression and heartbreak, and made it to the other side. That being said, I'm glad you're still here, please continue to take care of yourself.
+basement gerard, you are my favorite person on this comment chain. also, MCR forever. isn't this such a great song? I love BMTH, and this song is probably my favorite.
There’s something to be said for people that don’t run away from their pain. One day we will learn to embrace it and make something so beautiful and healing to those around us In fact we probably already are and have no idea 💚💖🤍👁🔮
The days are a death wish A witch hunt for an exit(I am powerless) The fragile,the broken Sit in circles and stay unspoken(we are powerless) Because we all walk alone on an empty staircase idle halls and nameless faces(I am powerless) Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die I can fear death no longer I've died a thousand times A wasteful universe and we don't know our soul was emptiness inside our heads but no one dares to dwell Throw me to the flames Watch me burn set my world ablaze Watch me burn How are we on a scale of one to ten?

BMTH music is so meaningful, all the lyrics are so accurate about what I've been through and what I'm going, and it says to me "if I've survived so will you", that's why this band is a life saviour.
You guys are pathetic. A song isn't about 'truth' or identifying to the meaningless lyrics that relate to nothing and anything, just fucking enjoy the music.
Lots of people talk about understanding the song but if you truly like or even love a song, the song has it's own meaning to you... Something that relates to it that has happened in your life or you've seen.
@@klooooud the first few times I heard this song I broke down into tears, I don't cry anymore to this song, but god the lyrics are so powerful and emotional to me still
I'm here 10 years later and I'm literally crying thinking how broken I was as a teen. This is the music that got me through it🥺 It gets better, someway it will, I promise❤
He's pouring his heart out in the lyrics, you can feel it. I'm not going to go real deep into my life because that's just something I don't do, but I was abused (physically and emotionally) by my mother for 13 years. I've got scars inside and out. Everyone thinks I hold up pretty well because when people meet me they have no idea. They think I'm fine and I've got my crap together, but in reality, inside I'm crumbling. My dad and stepmom have no idea. They have no idea I have certain habits either. But seeing all these comments and listening carefully to this song inspired me. Everyone out there is going through something, and if anyone ever needs anything... I'm here.
we all deal with our own shit, i mean i see comments like these but i went through the same exact stuff, even worse and honestly we all need to calm down.... we're lucky we have A FUCKING ROOF OVER OUR HEADS AT SOME POINT IN TIME, WE'RE LUCKY WE'RE NOT BEING SOLD OFF AS RAPE WIVES AT THE AGE OF 11. this is happening to lots of individuals and they're telling their stories of how they worked and worked to become whole and sane again... I suggest we all do that.
***** well i mean, i just know that if i was in one of the more awful situations like we both explained, i would be fucking angry at seeing comments like these (if I even had access to a computer...). you're right, we all just should grow more of a backbone i think, or at least our perspectives and opinions should.
I took my daughter to see BMTH & she played me several songs prior to the concert & Ollie is a lyrical genius! This is coming from a middle aged mother!
@@akankshakeshari689 they dont hate it bc its dark or loud, they hate it bc it validates the feelings that they hide, once i learned that it made sense why people dont like this kind of music, it scares their soul bc they didnt think anyone else felt this way

This randomly came on in my playlist 8 years after I first discovered them, and the lyrics dug up a lot of old painful memories. I'm not exactly sad or anything, just emotional over the fact that the worst of it all is finally over, but also grieving how much my poor younger self had to suffer. When he sings "hold me close, don't let go", it makes me want to picture myself embracing my younger self, since I had to pull through every single major life problem completely on my own and I'm finally the adult I wish I could've had for support. This really struck a chord in me and has me in tears. Although life is still hard, especially during this awful pandemic, I still am grateful to have finally found at least some peace in my life after the rollercoaster I've been through, and I hope everyone else does too.
Bring me the horizons music helped me through my darkest times when I was completely alone. I almost gave up when I had a month left until I was free but this music was the thing I scream cried to in the middle of the night on my mp3. The impact it made upon me was incredible and I'll never forget. Thank you bring me the horizon, you gave me power, helped me feel so much less alone, and helped me find the words for my pain. Thank you for being here and making this music.
-"I've died a thousand times" - Could this possibly be a reference to that old saying "A coward dies a thousand deaths?". It may not be particularly relevant, but it's quite an interesting thought...
I think it's how a suicidal person kills him/herself thousands of times in his/her head. The song obviously already has to do with being suicidal, as you can tell from the lyrics, "The days are a death wish, a witch hunt for an exit."
I think he means about all of those bad moments in our lifes that all of us been through. The death of a beloved brother, a breakup... simple examples, you know, just all of those little or huge things that kill us a little bit.
A coward dies a thousand deaths, but the leaders die thousands of more times, as per the rank It's relevant, as the truly weak will bear their scars far longer than "us". This is why we need a hospital for souls.
I was so confused for years about how I was feeling, and one day, when I was sixteen this song came into my life... now i'm 22 and i still saying thank you to this song for put my feelings into letters
I honestly believe this is one of the best albums ever produced. Each song has an impressive display of the band’s capabilities. Oli was absolutely on fire here. Can’t wait to get my BMTH tattoo soon.
I'll be getting one too, I'm gonna do a dreamcatcher with the symbol of sempiternal in the middle or the umbrella from TTS that has a knife in the cable of the it. Do you already know what tattoo you are going to do? Or you got the tattoo?
I used to hate this song cause of how long the intro is, but now over a year after the album release I finally listen to the whole song and it's just so good.
TheKyozetteUchiha12 Wow same thing here ... now its like my favorite song , the lyrics are incredible . This song is full of emotion i love it ! Bmth did an awesome job with this album by far my favorite album of all the time .
This song help me control my cutting, whenever I knew I shouldn't do it but I had no one to help me, I turned to this song and listened over and over again. Thank you bmth for making great music, it helped a lot.
This song... I just... I don't think I've ever heard a song... that can hit you deep in your emotions and your thoughts. deep within my mind... that deep place where I want privacy, that deep place where nobody can be except me.... this song left its mark there... It's that powerful...
Раньше мне казалась эта песня длинной и я воспринимал ее как просто качественный продукт с точки зрения продакшена. Но после определенных событий в жизни, она уже воспринимается по другому. Я слушаю ее только когда меня никто не видит. И после повторных прослушиваний, после слёз наступает какое-то спокойствие и тревога уходит. Это как излить кому-то душу, но рядом нет никого.
My friend, I’m glad you’ve found solace in this song. Are you from Ukraine or Russia?I have friends in both places and it saddens me to see the state of things from here in canada, but either way I’m sending strength. Hold in there friend, it will be over eventually
Чтобы понять эту песню надо хорошо знать английский и понимать все слова. Это одна из тех песен, в которых самое главное это именно слова песни. Если понимаешь слова, то тут же и вокал, и инструментал, и аранжировка сразу по-другому воспринимаются. Осознаёшь насколько это душераздирающая песня, прямо крик души.
I was very suicidal in 2013 before my life turned around. This song was something I'd play every single day. I believe it helped in some ways I really really do.
"have you ever took a blade to your wrist, have you been skipping meals? we're gonna try something today, how does that make you feel?" honestly in love with that part so much .
Going through such a hard time in my life. bmth always makes me feel heard I started listening in middle school and I’m almost 27. The emotion is just something I can’t explain
When I first heard this song, it didn't touch me the way I guess it was supposed to. I mean, it touched me. The song, the lyrics, how the lyrics are strangely poetic and simple, but deep. The first part of the song is obvious. "The fragile, the broken, sit in circles and stay unspoken. We are powerless." I guess that this would represent how someone can be depressed and be surrounded by people like their own, how they can be near people yet still be so desperately lonely. Then the line, "Because we all walk alone on an empty staircase, silent halls and nameless faces". People who are depressed just feel blank. We don't feel the wind. We don't taste food. It's more than sadness. It's a numb that takes over you and eats away at your soul. When we walk through school, we don't hear people. We don't see their faces. So this line, I suppose, is only obvious. But it's those lines that's near the very climax of the song that get's to me. "How are we on a scale of one to ten? Can you tell me what you see? Do you want to talk about it? How does that make you feel? Have you ever taken a blade to your wrists? Have you been skipping meals? We're gonna try something new today, how does that make you feel?" I mean, I guess that for some people, they'd take it as Oliver legitimately asking them questions to make them feel better. But I thought-Oli's oughtta be a little bit more darker than that. He always has been. Particularly in such an emotional song. Having been in a hospital, those lines sound like things that the doctors in white ask you after you wake up from losing too much blood from the slits in your wrist. They're too professional. Too clean cut. "Have you ever taken a blade to your wrists? Have you been skipping meals?" And, particularly- "We're gonna try something new today, how does that make you feel?" I remember being asked those questions in the hospital, not necessarily in the sentence said in this song, but it makes me sort of realize just to what extent Oliver's mind goes. I like BMTH for the way they portray their songs, like a musical picture in front of you-but also very dark, twisted. Oliver stating those lines can awaken the memory of being in the hospital for any kid who's been that far, and it's this strange, dark touch, like "Hey, kid. I know who fuckish they are. You'll get through this." It's coming from a depressed persons perspective, how everything just makes you wanna crumple to pieces, how you just don't know what to do anymore-that awful hopelessness. Lines that sound one way to one person, and another way to another-that is poetry. It targets certain people and leaves the others with wide theories and imaginations. So yeah XD
I do not know you guys, but I think that Oli is an amazing writer, the way he puts his life in his music, the way with which he touches people with his lyrics. It is difficult to believe that a young guy as he wrote lyrics so profound and touching such as this one, this is one of the reasons that I am adicted to his music.
Just one year ago, my field of perception was so small that I couldn’t see anything getting better in the future. It was like standing in an open field surrounded by fog. No hope in sight. Instead of giving up, I just waited it out. I didn’t do any inspirational shit, I just let things fall into place. In just one year, the fog has cleared and I’m able to see life differently. I guess what I’m trying to say is that nothing lasts forever, and it’s always rewarding to look back and thank yourself for continuing to live despite the hardships you may go through.
BlastoiseBabe hey I see you everywhere on bmth around the same time I was here too but I never saw you before. 2015 and 16 sucked for me. I was heavily depressed because of a lot of things especially a toxic relationship, let's just say it was suicidal. But I got out of it all, somehow. And I'm here again tonight just remembering everything and I see you and I hope you're doing good. Idk. I hope you're well and everything in your life is better than before. Never give up
Amazing that they chose this artwork. It looks peaceful but the more you study, the more you feel the emotion. The creases of the lips whisper pain, eyes closed whisper “God, give me peace”.
For me this song represents how they progressed from angsty deathcore kids to incredible emotionally powerful songwriters. Not saying I don't love Count Your (fockin) Blessings, but wow.
If all you hear is screaming, then you’re allowing your biases to get into the way of the real message the artist is trying to convey. Metal may not be everyone’s cup of tea and that’s fine. But it doesn’t mean it’s talentless and pointless screaming with no substance . Everyone has a story to tell. I love bring me the horizon. Music has pulled me through the death of my brother, it helped me get through my suicidal thoughts after my brother died, it helped me collect myself until I was able to stay sober long enough to get my life together and it continues to help me battle issues when everyone else said that they’d be there for me had left. Music has made me actually realize 2 things. I can’t live without it. And it will help carry me and others. And that’s why music is beautiful. It doesn’t matter if you like rock or not. Music is about finding what moves you
Just got out of my third psychiatric admission and I really understand what Oli says. "There's glimpses of heaven in every day. In fhe friends I have, the music I make, the love that I feel. I just had to start again".
The best thing about coming back to this song for the first time in three years is realizing how much better everything has gotten than how it was when I resonated with this song. For a while when I was in between mostly-okay and not-great-at-all, I refused to listen to this song because of how much it hurt to relate to. But I'm glad to say things have gotten much better, and if anyone feels like things won't, they will, sooner or later. Just be patient, and keep trying. On days you're too tired to try, just know you're still good enough and it's okay to take days to rest. Life is stressful for everyone, and theres nothing wrong with needing a break from the world. Breaks are hard to find, I know, but even finding 10 minutes on a day to shift your mindset to that of something a little more uplifting, your outlook on life will follow. If worrying about the future is what stresses you out the most, try not to worry about what you cant control now, and pick a smaller task. Simply focus on trying to make today at least a little better than yesterday, if that's all you can do.
when i first listened to this album, i thought i’d be gone before i graduated high school. now i’m a (single) 22 year old mom, but it’s the best thing i’ve ever experienced. you guys got this. i’m open to talk to if you ever need anything (: don’t hesitate. ♡︎
Banger, could perfectly describe what i feel now, being 18 and having the worst moment of my life. Can't control what's hapenning, loosing slowly my mind, hopes going away... hope one day it'll be better...
My grandmother just died because of the virus and I learned that my big sis has suicide issues 8 years ago and I never knew it, so I want to become a rock to support them all. It's too hard to be powerless. Suicide seems to be the worst thing in this world, seriously how a human being can suffer this much? Well, I just wanted to say that there's always an escape, a hope that you can be happy again. But well I don't know who I am to say things like this? How can I do something for these people? I don't know 🤷
You start wishing your death... Everything irritates you with ease Talking to others becomes a tedious action, as you think every word and movement you do will be a mistake... Definetly not an experience i would reccomend anyone to suffer. Once you escape from that shit, you grow up as a person and you become stronger than ever, but getting away from it is the hardest part.
@@fkstfr6253 Dealing with the problem that is causing depression. Because depression isnt a spontaneous disease, it borns due to a problem you have ( lack of friends, loss of a loved one, lack of money etc) Thats the hardest part because the problems are so fucking enormous.
I remember hearing this song for the first time and I had a knife to my throat ready to end it all and my ex girlfriend walked in and stopped me from doing it. We don't talk anymore of course, but I thank her for stopping me. My life does have meaning 🙏🙏
this came out when i was in middle school, and i used to listen to it daily but i didn't relate to it as much, i was just depressed. now i'm 18 listening to this again for the first time in years, and i relate to these lyrics 100%. it's crazy to see the change in my whole teenage years from 12-17. my teenage years were one of my worst years changing drastically in only 6 years, it only got worse and worse each year. i finally got the help i need and i'm 75% better🖤
When he starts screaming "watch me burn" chills run up my spine and.. Like this sudden urge of crying gets to me. Its just so deep. Personally For me. Oliver is speaking to his fans and himself.
@@mostafaehab4277 definitely they don't, they make an Album using so many generous and all of that songs have good lyrics if you put atention and you are not an edgy boy trying to look cool only cause you want a sound more powerful.
First time I listened to this song I was alone in the dark and I cried throughout the entire song. This song is so emotionally raw, it's overwhelming amazing and I can't even listen to this song without feeling a chill.
The truth is he awakened. That's why he doesn't need to sleep too much, energy flows stronger. That's why this whole album is about the sheep, and the wolves. He has awakened and seen it, but he's powerless to stop anything. It hurts him to the core because he sincerely cares and feels sad that no one listens... If you do your own research though you'll find way more similarities, flower of life.
yes. I've been on a spiritual path since 2012 I've been thru hell in the process I've had horrible creatures in my bed hugging me . you can tell he's awakened and put the song together perfectly, thought+emotion+energy = manifestation. the song penetrates the subconscious nicely.
all of bmth songs are so inspirational this song never fails to bring me up when im feeling like shit.......have you ever token a blade to your wrist? have you been skipping meals? we are gonna try something new today how does that make you feel.....those lyrics
This song got me through 2013, as soon as it came out. Scratch that, this whole album did. Getting this album tattooed on me before September 28, before I see them live, FINALLY
Holy shit. I only Just discovered this song and the lyrics. I have never found a song by BMTH (or most other bands) that I can connect with on such a deep level other than Sleepwalking. I remember when I thought BMTH was another generic Deathcore band. I was so wrong. How are we on a scale of one to ten? Could you tell me what you see? Do you wanna talk about it? How does that make you feel?
Arsène Fox No, the mood of the song and the fact that the lyrics can be interpreted in multiple ways in which I can connect with is why I love this song. As far as I am concerned, this songs meaning can just be as general as trying to recover from a trauma or mental complication that is severing your connection from the world around you. Being left with the wreckage of your past and searching desperately for a way out of it. I know Oli wrote it about overcoming drug addiction, but a lot of the lyrics on this album can just as easily be related to struggles with PTSD, anxiety, depression, trauma, guilt, shame, personal morals, and coming to terms with what you believe (i.e religion or spirituality). Funnily enough, drug addiction usually causes a wealth of mental complications anyway. So the words he writes are directly interchangeable to the same things I can connect with. Same results, just a different cause or means to reach them. I hope I made sense.
One of the best songs I've ever heard. I understand that this song is mostly about depression. But from some point of view I can understand it because I have the OCD and sometimes my case seems really bad.
in 2016, when I went through rough shit I'd blast this song on the speakers and ignore the entire world. I'd scream, cry, self harm to it. In 2019, I'm seeing bring me the horizon in a month. and im finally decently happy. never give up.
the "How are we on a scale of one to ten? You can tell me, what do you say? Do you wanna talk about it? How does that make you feel? Have you ever took a blade to your wrists? Have you've been skipping meals? We're gonna try something new today, how does that make you feel?" part makes me so sad and made me cry the first time I heard this song, because even though I am completely fine and never had these questions been asked to me my entire life, it's still so sad and you can hear the sarcasm, people probably asked those questions to him a lot, and this song is so personal, that makes it even more beautiful than it already is
This song is so heart whelming. I love. I felt such a connection to it. All the situations. Specially, I felt a strong connection to the lines "have you ever took a blade to your wrists? Have you been skipping meals? We're gonna try something new today. How does that make you feel?" Really moved by those words since I have battled and overcame a deep depression and cutting habits. And since I have been suffering from bulimia since I was a kid. Today, I'm 21 and I'm a chronical bulimic guy. So it does. It moves me in many ways.
Everyone's saying this music is inspiring and stuff, but I just get all bummed out when I listen to it. I still love it though, it's a strange attraction. Anyone else get the same thing?
If it's supposed to make us happy shouldn't my headache that I got from seeing Ronnie Radke's face in his mugshot and how it looks to much like my cousin be gone?!
Geometry Dash Catbug This music is inspiring everytime when i hear this song i think about so many thinks for example:My life,the world,humans,religion(the meaning of hell and heaven) and other strange stuff and every time i feel sad but it isnt a sad feeling like iam depressed its just a feel i cant describe.

There's something artistically beautiful about the way his screams turn to whispers.
A suffering soul behind a soft voice.
Seriously though like that just messes me up every time. It's pure art and you can just hear the desperation. When any art can make you feel what the artist does, it's just beautiful
Beautifully written
Hero Cuke its 2 different people singing...
That's kinda like Kurt Cobain's whispering in Something in the Way, although he sang the whole song very quietly.

NO ITS A SANDWICH
People tend to forget that screaming is an "emotion". You don't only scream out in anger. Its just sad when people do not realise that. This kind of music has a lot more meaning and has helped so many more people than any pop song ever could.
💯💯
Screaming is the only way to express a certain type of pain. The pain where you hurt so bad and you are so angry at the feeling of constantly feeling broken and worthless but feeling trapped without any way to change things. People hear the scream and don't listen to the words and fail to understand songs like this with heavy screams are some of the most emotional songs you will ever hear.
Bro these comments are so accurate I almost started crying because that shit is true asf
Saved me
ik you put it in quotes, but screaming is absolutely not an emotion; screaming comes as a result of certain emotions you feel. and you don’t know what any pop song has or has not done for someone. stop judging just because you feel judged about your taste in music
At some point it stops being a song and starts bring a masterpiece.

Bro... listening to this years after really brings back memories. I used to feel so broken, I used to cut myself, I went to counselling, I had no one who’d hug me. I’m 21 now, moved out of home at 18, I’m so much fuckin better, I love my life. You guys will get through this.
Edit. This song hits different now that my brother passed away from OD a month ago. There’s always something different going wrong aye. I think I’ve hit rock bottom first time in a while.
im right there with you. 22 now, i thought id be dead by 18 for sure. i guess its a good thing we were wrong. things aren't perfect but they're better
I was gonna kill myself at age 12, but for some reason I'm still here....
Funny how the world makes you stay for no reason, haha.... :)
we all die someday :)

Sempiternal is one of the best albums ever produced.
Is just amazing, literally every song on this récord is so awesome.
YES

A decade later still an amazing album.
3:11 holy shit that always gets me crying.
"How are we on a scale of one to ten?"
"Could you tell me what you see?"
"Do you wanna talk about it?"
"How does that make you feel?"
"Have you ever took a blade to your wrists?"
"Have you been skipping meals?"
"We're gonna try sledging new today"
"How does that make you feel?"
żømběygïrl øf đěāţh reminds me of when I was hospitalized a few times 3 years ago. This song brings it all back. Reminds me that I've changed so much for the better. Mental illness and substance addictions are fucking brutal. You basically become your own shadow because there's nothing really there anymore. Therapy and wanting to get better and really live life is what keeps me alive. Everyday can have its ups and downs but you just keep fighting just to prove you can and will be happy someday.
Same here, first time I listened to that part I cried
reminds me of when I used to be suicidal
Mιѕтer Brιgнтѕιde it gets to me to and it still DOES with everything happening....... just want to give up
Claire B that shadow can also become a voice in your head and make you suffer more than needed.
I think musically and lyrically this is the best song they've ever made... so much emotion.
and the snakes start to sing is a close second
My two favourites off the album

@@facundoapuzzo4417 👏👏
I feel you... Everyday forever now. At least I've got the music 🎶 to hold me down
the part of this song that ALWAYS brings me to tears is the "how are we on a scale of one to ten? could you tell me what you see? do you wanna talk about it? how does that make you feel?"
personally, every time i hear this, i can't help but hear the sarcasm of these lyrics. maybe it's just me, but when i was going through therapy, when i was feeling less than human because of my depression, these are questions i was asked frequently. but these are questions that will never have a definitive answer. i could never accurately explain how i felt, nor could i even hope to make anyone understand why i felt the way i did. it's hard to make someone understand your depression, your anxiety, your thoughts, when they haven't experienced it themselves.
and while this song brings back so many shitty memories, it is my favorite -- it is beautiful. because it's a reminder that i'm not alone.
this song brings tears to my eyes too, but it's the lines "have you ever took a blad to your wrist / have you been skipping meals" that does it. the thought that so many kids nowadays can relate to this line... it broke my heart when i first heard the song :(
***** yep
Absolutely agree
I tried to explain it to my friend but I realized that it's like screaming into the void, it's doesn't make sense
I always feel like is the psychologist talking to me, these are common questions when you're in session, but yeah, it's like sarcasm in this song ♥
@@priscilla5605 idk as someone with anxiety and ADHD I vividly remember my teachers asking me theses exact same questions, just singling you out as being the "troubled child". I hated that shit so much. No good psychologist should be asking questions like those
I get this song now. In the beginning he talks about his addiction to drugs. The hospital for souls is the REHAB he went into. The lyrics throughout are the conversations he had with this doctor. did you ever slit your wrists? have you been skipping meals? were going to try something new today..how does that make you feel? interesting and he doesn't want them to leave him there to burn
Sad Panda thank you, it's what im good at hehe ^^
Crissy Bailey finally someone who understands the mean of a song, only idiots saying that this song is for emo fags and melodramatic... they dont know what passing through drugs is, hoping that one day they will understand whats real pain...
I understand it now to its pretty cool
Crissy Bailey i first heard this song when i was in and out of inpatient therapy and it all made sense immediately. He captures the feeling of addiction and the apathy of it all so well. Love this song to this day~
awesome guys
I tried taking my life this year, now im seeking out help... Death is not the answer. thank god my dad talked me down. rest in peace dad
Im all for happy times and not being dead. But
Balls and penis
Stay safe, Nate! I'm glad you're reaching out for the help you need and deserve. You'll make it through!
Then you either wernt real or wasnt ready
bro u can go trought it sad your dad passed away but just be strong. Life is beautiful
I'm sorry for your loss. I agree. I did the same thing. I thought I couldn't fear death any longer. I was so fucking wrong. It isn't the answer. No matter how bad it gets guys... just never stop fighting. Please.
Lyrics
And then I found out how hard it is to really change
Even hell can get comfy once you've settled in
I just wanted the numb inside me to leave
No matter how fucked you get
The sun will return and you come back down!
The funny thing is all I ever wanted I already had
There's glimpses of heaven in every day
In the friends that I have, the music I made
The love that I feel, I just had to start again
The days are a death wish
A witch hunt for an exit
I am powerless
The fragile, the broken
Sit in circles and stay unspoken
We are powerless
Because we all walk alone on an empty staircase
Idle in the halls and nameless faces
I am powerless
Everybody wants to go to heaven
But nobody wants to die
I can fear death no longer
I've died a thousand times
A wasteful universe
And we don't know our soul was
Emptiness inside our heads
But no one dares to dwell
Throw me to the flames
Watch me burn
Set my world ablaze
Watch me burn
How are we on a scale of one to ten?
You can tell me, what do you say?
Do you wanna talk about it?
How does that make you feel?
Have you ever took a blade to your wrists
Have you've been skipping meals
We're gonna try something new today
How does that make you feel?
Hold me close, don't let go, watch me
Hold me close, don't let go, watch me
Hold me close, don't let go, watch me
In this hospital for souls
Hold me close, don't let go, watch me
Hold me close, don't let go, watch me

Hold me close, don't let go, watch me

Hold me close, tell me go, watch me burn
Hold me close, don't let go, watch me burn

Hold me close, tell me go, watch me burn
Hold me close, don't let go, watch me burn

"The sun will return and you come back down!" is "there's alwaays hell when you come back down"
Thx
First time I heard this song, I was 15. Now I'm 23, listening to it again for the first time. It hits much harder than it did now, now that I'm not an angsty teen and I've been through hell and back. Fuck, I am so goddamn proud of me.
"I've been through hell and back" - perfect for this song
hope i'll do like u im 18 and im having the worst moments in my life

I thought it was just me lol
so true
There’s something to be said for people that don’t run away from their pain. One day we will learn to embrace it and make something so beautiful and healing to those around us In fact we probably already are and have no idea 💚💖🤍👁🔮

Even though I am no longer my dramatic emo middle school self, this song is still an absolute banger
saw your comment and just started laughing because same :D only it was high school for me.
Me over here being called emo for playing this on the bus
Imagine if they played this at the royal Albert hall..
BMTH music is so meaningful, all the lyrics are so accurate about what I've been through and what I'm going, and it says to me "if I've survived so will you", that's why this band is a life saviour.
Agreed. This album means so much to me. And the lyrics ring with so much truth.
You guys are pathetic. A song isn't about 'truth' or identifying to the meaningless lyrics that relate to nothing and anything, just fucking enjoy the music.

Lots of people talk about understanding the song but if you truly like or even love a song, the song has it's own meaning to you... Something that relates to it that has happened in your life or you've seen.

Totally agree bro fml.

i could hear the fucking emotion he poured out the first time i listened to this song.
I get that feeling every time I listen to Don't Go. The emotion is so raw and I end up sobbing every damn time
After Oli gave his speech at the APMAS, I realized that this song goes into specifics of his time at rehab. So much respect for Bring me the Horizon.
I'm here 10 years later and I'm literally crying thinking how broken I was as a teen. This is the music that got me through it🥺
It gets better, someway it will, I promise❤
Stay strong 🙏

He's pouring his heart out in the lyrics, you can feel it. I'm not going to go real deep into my life because that's just something I don't do, but I was abused (physically and emotionally) by my mother for 13 years. I've got scars inside and out. Everyone thinks I hold up pretty well because when people meet me they have no idea. They think I'm fine and I've got my crap together, but in reality, inside I'm crumbling. My dad and stepmom have no idea. They have no idea I have certain habits either. But seeing all these comments and listening carefully to this song inspired me. Everyone out there is going through something, and if anyone ever needs anything... I'm here.
You're an inspiration to show that people have inner strength over anything and I admire you.
we all deal with our own shit, i mean i see comments like these but i went through the same exact stuff, even worse and honestly we all need to calm down.... we're lucky we have A FUCKING ROOF OVER OUR HEADS AT SOME POINT IN TIME, WE'RE LUCKY WE'RE NOT BEING SOLD OFF AS RAPE WIVES AT THE AGE OF 11. this is happening to lots of individuals and they're telling their stories of how they worked and worked to become whole and sane again... I suggest we all do that.
*****
well i mean, i just know that if i was in one of the more awful situations like we both explained, i would be fucking angry at seeing comments like these (if I even had access to a computer...). you're right, we all just should grow more of a backbone i think, or at least our perspectives and opinions should.

[Intro]
And then I found out how hard it is to really change
Even Hell can get comfy once you've settled in
I just wanted the numb inside me to leave
No matter how fucked you get
Sorrow is there when you come back down
Funny thing is, all I ever wanted I already had
There's glimpses of heaven in every day
In the friends I have, the music I make, with the love I feel
I just had to start again
[Verse 1]
The days are a death wish
A witch-hunt for an exit
I am powerless
The fragile, the broken
Sit in circles and stay unspoken
We are powerless
Because we all walk alone on an empty staircase
Silent halls and nameless faces
I am powerless
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody wants to go to Heaven, but nobody wants to die
I can't fear death, no longer, I've died a thousand times
Why explore the universe when we don't know ourselves?
There's an emptiness inside our heads that no one dares to dwell
[Chorus]
Throw me to the flames
Watch me burn
Set my world ablaze
Watch me burn
[Verse 2]
How are we on a scale of one to ten?
Could you tell me what you see?
Do you wanna talk about it?
How does that make you feel?
Have you ever took a blade to your wrists?
Or have you been skipping meals?
We're gonna try something new today
How does that make you feel?

This randomly came on in my playlist 8 years after I first discovered them, and the lyrics dug up a lot of old painful memories. I'm not exactly sad or anything, just emotional over the fact that the worst of it all is finally over, but also grieving how much my poor younger self had to suffer. When he sings "hold me close, don't let go", it makes me want to picture myself embracing my younger self, since I had to pull through every single major life problem completely on my own and I'm finally the adult I wish I could've had for support. This really struck a chord in me and has me in tears. Although life is still hard, especially during this awful pandemic, I still am grateful to have finally found at least some peace in my life after the rollercoaster I've been through, and I hope everyone else does too.
This is my favorite song by them and honestly his voice just makes me cry everytime I listen to it
same.
True and instead you have broken heart its the best medicine :(
Mc.Placka but sleepwalking and true friends are the best from bmth and its really good for a broken heart
All songs are best :3 (from BMTH) :3

Bring me the horizons music helped me through my darkest times when I was completely alone. I almost gave up when I had a month left until I was free but this music was the thing I scream cried to in the middle of the night on my mp3. The impact it made upon me was incredible and I'll never forget. Thank you bring me the horizon, you gave me power, helped me feel so much less alone, and helped me find the words for my pain. Thank you for being here and making this music.
-"I've died a thousand times" -
Could this possibly be a reference to that old saying "A coward dies a thousand deaths?". It may not be particularly relevant, but it's quite an interesting thought...
or it could be self-erasing and depersonalization from the drug use. Not sure if that's what Oli went through.
I think it's how a suicidal person kills him/herself thousands of times in his/her head. The song obviously already has to do with being suicidal, as you can tell from the lyrics, "The days are a death wish, a witch hunt for an exit."
we all do
I think he means about all of those bad moments in our lifes that all of us been through. The death of a beloved brother, a breakup... simple examples, you know, just all of those little or huge things that kill us a little bit.
A coward dies a thousand deaths, but the leaders die thousands of more times, as per the rank
It's relevant, as the truly weak will bear their scars far longer than "us".
This is why we need a hospital for souls.
I was so confused for years about how I was feeling, and one day, when I was sixteen this song came into my life... now i'm 22 and i still saying thank you to this song for put my feelings into letters
I feel like I learn something new about myself in these lyrics with every listen.
same
yeah same.

I honestly believe this is one of the best albums ever produced. Each song has an impressive display of the band’s capabilities. Oli was absolutely on fire here. Can’t wait to get my BMTH tattoo soon.
I'll be getting one too, I'm gonna do a dreamcatcher with the symbol of sempiternal in the middle or the umbrella from TTS that has a knife in the cable of the it.
Do you already know what tattoo you are going to do? Or you got the tattoo?
I used to hate this song cause of how long the intro is, but now over a year after the album release I finally listen to the whole song and it's just so good.
Same here! I kept skipping it until today when I finally decided to listen to the whole song. It's amazing.
TheKyozetteUchiha12 Wow same thing here ... now its like my favorite song , the lyrics are incredible . This song is full of emotion i love it ! Bmth did an awesome job with this album by far my favorite album of all the time .
Same xD I just decided to listen to it yesterday lol
Hahaha now all because I also ._. I realized that it is better than the wafer and shadow moses
Same c: Like I love this song. The lyrics are also really awesome. It makes me feel healen.
This isn't just a song. This is a masterpiece, nightmare and fact list
''i cant fear death no longer, ive died a thousand times''
There is no other band like BMTH.
Plus one
"hold me close,
don't let go,
watch me burn,
in the hospital for souls..."
when it keeps repeating...the feels.
This song help me control my cutting, whenever I knew I shouldn't do it but I had no one to help me, I turned to this song and listened over and over again. Thank you bmth for making great music, it helped a lot.
Ballert.

as a person dealing with depression for years now, the intro to this song is so relatable. the whole song is just really powerful.
This song... I just... I don't think I've ever heard a song... that can hit you deep in your emotions and your thoughts. deep within my mind... that deep place where I want privacy, that deep place where nobody can be except me.... this song left its mark there... It's that powerful...
1:07 - 1:34 Goosebumps every time.

Same but that's because they r amazing in every way
Раньше мне казалась эта песня длинной и я воспринимал ее как просто качественный продукт с точки зрения продакшена. Но после определенных событий в жизни, она уже воспринимается по другому. Я слушаю ее только когда меня никто не видит. И после повторных прослушиваний, после слёз наступает какое-то спокойствие и тревога уходит. Это как излить кому-то душу, но рядом нет никого.
как же я тебя понимаю...
Мы все справимся
Took the words right out of my mouth
My friend, I’m glad you’ve found solace in this song. Are you from Ukraine or Russia?I have friends in both places and it saddens me to see the state of things from here in canada, but either way I’m sending strength. Hold in there friend, it will be over eventually
Чтобы понять эту песню надо хорошо знать английский и понимать все слова. Это одна из тех песен, в которых самое главное это именно слова песни. Если понимаешь слова, то тут же и вокал, и инструментал, и аранжировка сразу по-другому воспринимаются. Осознаёшь насколько это душераздирающая песня, прямо крик души.
This song means so much to me! i was suicidal for almost 10 years... Thank you for this song and stay strong brothers and sisters!
I was very suicidal in 2013 before my life turned around. This song was something I'd play every single day. I believe it helped in some ways I really really do.
Me too, this kind of music helped me in 2012/13
oh shut up and get a life, no one cares
+Sci-Fi Tributes I did get a life, considering im not like that now, thanks for your input tho:))
you're really really strong and I have so much respect for that ❤
+Hedwig van der Meulen thankyou :)
There's no words to explain how this makes me feel, no matter the mood i'm in I always find myself coming back to this.
same
"have you ever took a blade to your wrist, have you been skipping meals? we're gonna try something today, how does that make you feel?" honestly in love with that part so much .
Going through such a hard time in my life. bmth always makes me feel heard I started listening in middle school and I’m almost 27. The emotion is just something I can’t explain
sending best wishes dude!!♥
Oliver's voice at around 3:39 to 3:42 is one of the most attractive things I've ever heard.
When I first heard this song, it didn't touch me the way I guess it was supposed to.
I mean, it touched me. The song, the lyrics, how the lyrics are strangely poetic and simple, but deep. The first part of the song is obvious. "The fragile, the broken, sit in circles and stay unspoken. We are powerless." I guess that this would represent how someone can be depressed and be surrounded by people like their own, how they can be near people yet still be so desperately lonely. Then the line, "Because we all walk alone on an empty staircase, silent halls and nameless faces". People who are depressed just feel blank. We don't feel the wind. We don't taste food. It's more than sadness. It's a numb that takes over you and eats away at your soul. When we walk through school, we don't hear people. We don't see their faces. So this line, I suppose, is only obvious.
But it's those lines that's near the very climax of the song that get's to me. "How are we on a scale of one to ten? Can you tell me what you see? Do you want to talk about it? How does that make you feel? Have you ever taken a blade to your wrists? Have you been skipping meals? We're gonna try something new today, how does that make you feel?"
I mean, I guess that for some people, they'd take it as Oliver legitimately asking them questions to make them feel better. But I thought-Oli's oughtta be a little bit more darker than that. He always has been. Particularly in such an emotional song. Having been in a hospital, those lines sound like things that the doctors in white ask you after you wake up from losing too much blood from the slits in your wrist. They're too professional. Too clean cut. "Have you ever taken a blade to your wrists? Have you been skipping meals?" And, particularly- "We're gonna try something new today, how does that make you feel?"
I remember being asked those questions in the hospital, not necessarily in the sentence said in this song, but it makes me sort of realize just to what extent Oliver's mind goes. I like BMTH for the way they portray their songs, like a musical picture in front of you-but also very dark, twisted. Oliver stating those lines can awaken the memory of being in the hospital for any kid who's been that far, and it's this strange, dark touch, like "Hey, kid. I know who fuckish they are. You'll get through this." It's coming from a depressed persons perspective, how everything just makes you wanna crumple to pieces, how you just don't know what to do anymore-that awful hopelessness. Lines that sound one way to one person, and another way to another-that is poetry. It targets certain people and leaves the others with wide theories and imaginations.
So yeah XD
amén
I do not know you guys, but I think that Oli is an amazing writer, the way he puts his life in his music, the way with which he touches people with his lyrics. It is difficult to believe that a young guy as he wrote lyrics so profound and touching such as this one, this is one of the reasons that I am adicted to his music.
Just one year ago, my field of perception was so small that I couldn’t see anything getting better in the future. It was like standing in an open field surrounded by fog. No hope in sight. Instead of giving up, I just waited it out. I didn’t do any inspirational shit, I just let things fall into place. In just one year, the fog has cleared and I’m able to see life differently. I guess what I’m trying to say is that nothing lasts forever, and it’s always rewarding to look back and thank yourself for continuing to live despite the hardships you may go through.
Cool words, last sentence is perfect.
''Hold me close, don't let go, watch me burn''
alia sofia yes omg
I feel you man. I'm hurting too.
I'd never let you go, I'd burn with you.
BlastoiseBabe hey I see you everywhere on bmth around the same time I was here too but I never saw you before. 2015 and 16 sucked for me. I was heavily depressed because of a lot of things especially a toxic relationship, let's just say it was suicidal. But I got out of it all, somehow. And I'm here again tonight just remembering everything and I see you and I hope you're doing good. Idk. I hope you're well and everything in your life is better than before. Never give up
No, he's reserved with someone for being burnt
Lol
The buildup and the way it all just feels like it comes crashing down is just art man. Their best song in my opinion.
Amazing that they chose this artwork. It looks peaceful but the more you study, the more you feel the emotion. The creases of the lips whisper pain, eyes closed whisper “God, give me peace”.
For me this song represents how they progressed from angsty deathcore kids to incredible emotionally powerful songwriters. Not saying I don't love Count Your (fockin) Blessings, but wow.
(fockin) - true 😂😂
but i also really agree on that. they really changed, for the better!
this song brings back so many emotions from my high school years.
If all you hear is screaming, then you’re allowing your biases to get into the way of the real message the artist is trying to convey. Metal may not be everyone’s cup of tea and that’s fine. But it doesn’t mean it’s talentless and pointless screaming with no substance . Everyone has a story to tell. I love bring me the horizon. Music has pulled me through the death of my brother, it helped me get through my suicidal thoughts after my brother died, it helped me collect myself until I was able to stay sober long enough to get my life together and it continues to help me battle issues when everyone else said that they’d be there for me had left. Music has made me actually realize 2 things. I can’t live without it. And it will help carry me and others. And that’s why music is beautiful. It doesn’t matter if you like rock or not. Music is about finding what moves you
Just got out of my third psychiatric admission and I really understand what Oli says. "There's glimpses of heaven in every day. In fhe friends I have, the music I make, the love that I feel. I just had to start again".
The best thing about coming back to this song for the first time in three years is realizing how much better everything has gotten than how it was when I resonated with this song.
For a while when I was in between mostly-okay and not-great-at-all, I refused to listen to this song because of how much it hurt to relate to. But I'm glad to say things have gotten much better, and if anyone feels like things won't, they will, sooner or later. Just be patient, and keep trying. On days you're too tired to try, just know you're still good enough and it's okay to take days to rest. Life is stressful for everyone, and theres nothing wrong with needing a break from the world. Breaks are hard to find, I know, but even finding 10 minutes on a day to shift your mindset to that of something a little more uplifting, your outlook on life will follow.
If worrying about the future is what stresses you out the most, try not to worry about what you cant control now, and pick a smaller task. Simply focus on trying to make today at least a little better than yesterday, if that's all you can do.
when i first listened to this album, i thought i’d be gone before i graduated high school. now i’m a (single) 22 year old mom, but it’s the best thing i’ve ever experienced. you guys got this. i’m open to talk to if you ever need anything (: don’t hesitate. ♡︎
I seriously would like to talk with you, i'm in highschool and I really need some advice, please tell me where we can do it.
Banger, could perfectly describe what i feel now, being 18 and having the worst moment of my life. Can't control what's hapenning, loosing slowly my mind, hopes going away... hope one day it'll be better...
It will bro. One day this pain will become a memory ❤
Keep fighting. Life wouldn't be life without suffering. When u conquer it, you'll learn to get through the adversity and come out a better person.
@@schemeteam2954yeah things i cant control like it'll never be the same, dad goes away
The year is 2020... how’s everyone doing wit this quarantine
Managing, but these are tough times. We will get through this fucking shit.
My grandmother just died because of the virus and I learned that my big sis has suicide issues 8 years ago and I never knew it, so I want to become a rock to support them all. It's too hard to be powerless. Suicide seems to be the worst thing in this world, seriously how a human being can suffer this much? Well, I just wanted to say that there's always an escape, a hope that you can be happy again. But well I don't know who I am to say things like this? How can I do something for these people? I don't know 🤷
Bora morre
my life only got worse from this quarantine
Bella Ciao
the entire time i'm listening to this song, i'm scared the statue's eyes were going to open

Ash Sylvia YAAAAS DOCTOR WHO!!

Goddamit whovians XD
Basically what depression does to you makes you not care anymore ):
Yea..
You start wishing your death...
Everything irritates you with ease
Talking to others becomes a tedious action, as you think every word and movement you do will be a mistake...
Definetly not an experience i would reccomend anyone to suffer. Once you escape from that shit, you grow up as a person and you become stronger than ever, but getting away from it is the hardest part.
how do you 'escape"?
@@fkstfr6253 Dealing with the problem that is causing depression. Because depression isnt a spontaneous disease, it borns due to a problem you have ( lack of friends, loss of a loved one, lack of money etc) Thats the hardest part because the problems are so fucking enormous.
@@fabimonbebe277 y
I remember hearing this song for the first time and I had a knife to my throat ready to end it all and my ex girlfriend walked in and stopped me from doing it. We don't talk anymore of course, but I thank her for stopping me. My life does have meaning 🙏🙏
this came out when i was in middle school, and i used to listen to it daily but i didn't relate to it as much, i was just depressed. now i'm 18 listening to this again for the first time in years, and i relate to these lyrics 100%. it's crazy to see the change in my whole teenage years from 12-17. my teenage years were one of my worst years changing drastically in only 6 years, it only got worse and worse each year. i finally got the help i need and i'm 75% better🖤
that's so great that you're better now.
"hold me close, don't let go, watch me burn." So much feelings towards this.
my favorite.
When he starts screaming "watch me burn" chills run up my spine and.. Like this sudden urge of crying gets to me. Its just so deep. Personally For me. Oliver is speaking to his fans and himself.
Bring me the horizon never fails to impress me...
Amelie Stgermain what about the new album "amo" they failed
@@mostafaehab4277 definitely they don't, they make an Album using so many generous and all of that songs have good lyrics if you put atention and you are not an edgy boy trying to look cool only cause you want a sound more powerful.
I’m proud of everyone that is still here listening to this old banger ❤
First time I listened to this song I was alone in the dark and I cried throughout the entire song. This song is so emotionally raw, it's overwhelming amazing and I can't even listen to this song without feeling a chill.
The truth is he awakened. That's why he doesn't need to sleep too much, energy flows stronger. That's why this whole album is about the sheep, and the wolves. He has awakened and seen it, but he's powerless to stop anything. It hurts him to the core because he sincerely cares and feels sad that no one listens... If you do your own research though you'll find way more similarities, flower of life.
This song has a 'zombie apocalypse' feel to it, don't you think? Rather fitting.
Zombies are not fiction
yes. I've been on a spiritual path since 2012 I've been thru hell in the process I've had horrible creatures in my bed hugging me . you can tell he's awakened and put the song together perfectly, thought+emotion+energy = manifestation. the song penetrates the subconscious nicely.
Uh huh...
all of bmth songs are so inspirational this song never fails to bring me up when im feeling like shit.......have you ever token a blade to your wrist? have you been skipping meals? we are gonna try something new today how does that make you feel.....those lyrics
Yess
Took* :)
taken** :)
does it look like i care?
jack barakat You must have missed quite a few days of school if you think the proper verb form is took, my friend.
This song got me through 2013, as soon as it came out. Scratch that, this whole album did. Getting this album tattooed on me before September 28, before I see them live, FINALLY
4:08 always brings me to tears
Holy shit. I only Just discovered this song and the lyrics. I have never found a song by BMTH (or most other bands) that I can connect with on such a deep level other than Sleepwalking. I remember when I thought BMTH was another generic Deathcore band. I was so wrong.
How are we on a scale of one to ten?
Could you tell me what you see?
Do you wanna talk about it?
How does that make you feel?
For me. The most intense songs on Sempiternal are Sleepwalking and Hospital for Souls
Ale Radke 100 percent agree
Arsène Fox No, the mood of the song and the fact that the lyrics can be interpreted in multiple ways in which I can connect with is why I love this song. As far as I am concerned, this songs meaning can just be as general as trying to recover from a trauma or mental complication that is severing your connection from the world around you. Being left with the wreckage of your past and searching desperately for a way out of it. I know Oli wrote it about overcoming drug addiction, but a lot of the lyrics on this album can just as easily be related to struggles with PTSD, anxiety, depression, trauma, guilt, shame, personal morals, and coming to terms with what you believe (i.e religion or spirituality). Funnily enough, drug addiction usually causes a wealth of mental complications anyway. So the words he writes are directly interchangeable to the same things I can connect with. Same results, just a different cause or means to reach them. I hope I made sense.
Ale Radke not sure mate, but my friend told me, that oli sykes said by himself that his favorite song was And The Snakes Starts To Sing,
I think the lyrics are pretty bad, but that's a good interpretation of therapy
One of the best songs I've ever heard. I understand that this song is mostly about depression. But from some point of view I can understand it because I have the OCD and sometimes my case seems really bad.
in 2016, when I went through rough shit I'd blast this song on the speakers and ignore the entire world. I'd scream, cry, self harm to it.
In 2019, I'm seeing bring me the horizon in a month. and im finally decently happy. never give up.
I listened to this song nine years ago, and I'm still listening now. It's not a phase guys, but you'll be okay, trust me.
yeah this is the type of song that you can't really tell anyone you listen to, but it really sticks with you.
1:47 the rhythm that kicks in right here always gets me.
as crazy as this might sound, this song helped me stop cutting. his voice and the music oddly calms me down. thank you, a lot.
best sempiternal song?
+Daniel Parselle for me it's between crooked young and this, but lyrically this hits me more, the build is a little stronger, so easily yes
completely agre
+Daniel Parselle easily! it symbolizes a new chapter in oli's life and is lyrically brilliant!
+Daniel Parselle totally, this could have been an anthem if you ask me
the build-up, the kind-of breakdown, and the lyrics are extremely powerful
+Daniel Parselle Maybe!
the "How are we on a scale of one to ten?
You can tell me, what do you say? Do you wanna talk about it? How does that make you feel? Have you ever took a blade to your wrists? Have you've been skipping meals? We're gonna try something new today, how does that make you feel?" part makes me so sad and made me cry the first time I heard this song, because even though I am completely fine and never had these questions been asked to me my entire life, it's still so sad and you can hear the sarcasm, people probably asked those questions to him a lot, and this song is so personal, that makes it even more beautiful than it already is
This song is so heart whelming. I love. I felt such a connection to it. All the situations. Specially, I felt a strong connection to the lines "have you ever took a blade to your wrists? Have you been skipping meals? We're gonna try something new today. How does that make you feel?" Really moved by those words since I have battled and overcame a deep depression and cutting habits. And since I have been suffering from bulimia since I was a kid. Today, I'm 21 and I'm a chronical bulimic guy. So it does. It moves me in many ways.
Everyone's saying this music is inspiring and stuff, but I just get all bummed out when I listen to it. I still love it though, it's a strange attraction. Anyone else get the same thing?
I have that too! It's an incredibly inspirational song but it's not like it makes me happy, I kinda makes me sad
Yeah, it's just weird. I like it, but it makes me sad, and its WEIRD XD
If it's supposed to make us happy shouldn't my headache that I got from seeing Ronnie Radke's face in his mugshot and how it looks to much like my cousin be gone?!
Geometry Dash Catbug its supposed to make you feel sad, its describing his life in the worst he was in
Geometry Dash Catbug This music is inspiring everytime when i hear this song i think about so many thinks for example:My life,the world,humans,religion(the meaning of hell and heaven) and other strange stuff and every time i feel sad but it isnt a sad feeling like iam depressed its just a feel i cant describe.
