    I was raised in the projects in a single parent home. I was bullied everyday and talked down to by my teachers. I would play this song everyday as loud as I could, dreaming of a way out. I am now an engineer with a wife and 4 kids. We don’t live in the project, I own a house. My kids don’t have do homework by candle light or worry about when/where their next meal will come from. I can provide for their every need. When life got hard I would play this song and dream about a better life. I’ve been blessed. Thanks for this song.

    Staind, Chevelle and other bands helped me through my darkest days in the early 2000’s. Failed marriage, failed relationships. So bad that I was close to being homeless. Music like this helped me thru the bad. Within years, I met the lady that would be my wife. Showing me how to love. How to live. Always pushing me to be a better man. 13 years later, I can never imagine what life would be without her. 2 amazing kids. A great Job. It’s something I could never dream of. Thankful everyday. Thank you Staind.

      True. I was everybody's fool in high school. I was the popular guy who was goofy and fun loving enough to be surrounded by everyone un my hometown. I grew up as a gifted child with ADHD. I was depressed behind my funny demeanor. I faced unfathomable losses and tragedies at a startling age. To numb the pain, I partied too much for a year and turned into alcohol abuse and stopped attending university as a result. Subsequently, I lost my identity, was extremely sad, felt trapped in my life and my hometown so I attempted suicide twice. First time at 17. Second at 21. Weeks after my second attempt, I departed from my hometown and built a new life away in Paris. 7 years passed by, and even though I didn't completely forgive myself or others due to recurring PTSD, I came back to school, started over in Paris and graduated college & grad school with Honors and recreated a life I'm PROUD of. I had to relearn how to live, how to make friends, how to interact with people, how to accept, how to love, how to repair my broken relationships, how to make peace. Everything. I changed my look, my appearance, my tastes, my wardrobe, my body shape, my mindset, even some personality traits I had to do away with in order to mature and blossom into an adult.
      I'm PROUD because my friends and family are PROUD of me. I'm PROUD of the person I am today for surviving suicide. Depression still lingers, l still cry here and there but I'm more at peace and accepting of myself and my mistakes than I was when I was a teenager. I'm 28 and I hope to face many more days. I must.

      @@anushasharma9946 This song is a mixed bag for me. You see, I was a shaken baby, and so the words, "somebody shake me cause I, I must be sleeping..." and "I'm so afraid of waking, please don't shake me!" are especially poignant to me, and not always in a good way. In fact, they quite often remind me of my disability that was the result of shaken baby syndrome.
      At the same time, however, I love Staind and Aaron Lewis. They have so many songs that speak volumes to me, and I even went to an acoustic concert of his in Portland many years ago. Everything I know about him, everything I have heard, speaks of a good, caring person that puts his heart and his soul into his music... which is why I can listen to this song because I know he doesn't mean it as a way to hurt someone but as a way to simply wake them up.
      When I listen to "So Far Away," I do so to remind myself that life has BOTH good and bad, and we need both. Without the bad times, we won't recognize the good... and while it is hard for me to listen to, it's sometimes a message that I need to remind myself of.
