All these years I thought the cover was a winged angel, watching from a distance. Now I realize it's only a man carrying a heavy burden up a steep hill.
Footprints- "Here I am wide open, surrendering to your side. I have laid down my armour, I have no sword at my side. I leave behind me the ruins of the fortress I swore to defend; I leave behind me foundations; I'll leave you a man I'll need you to mend. And through all the battles around me I never believed I would fight. Yet here I stand, a broken soldier, shivering and naked, in your winter light." Gosh, those vocals are so deep and emotionals.
each of these tracks correspond with each stage of loss. Watching from a distance: Denial. Footprints: Anger. Bridges: Depression. Faces: Bargaining. Echoes: Acceptance
Sorry, English is not my native language, but what does Bargaining mean in this case? I really love this album and I also listened to it when I was without any disappointments. Since last week I am in the phase of denial, but I also develop anger and thoughts on what I have to change on myself to feel better. I hope I have not to go through the third phase of this album, I really do.
@@nordicwarking3707 it means offering up a sacrifice or accepting a hardship in order to win something back that has been lost. Striking a bargain with the gods, the universe, or the dead
There are no riffs that are more heartbreaking, no lyrics that are more crushing. And still, listening to this record is incredibly therapeutic and healing. Best doom album ever.
Actually, since you were wondering, things have taken a very positive turn in the year since I posted this video. I've met a new girl who actually gives a shit about me and the previous one has decided to respect my newfound relationship and no longer speaks to me. Other things have also gotten better but mostly that. Hope is invisible sometimes, but more often than not it's still there.
Tristan's words in the description, hard to read them because I know but don't like to think of it. You know why you are a man Tristan? NO!, not because of what you're looking at down there, because you never labeled all women cut from the same cloth of the one who hurt you. Many women, say we all men are the same, but they never gave the good men a slight chance and their harsh decision, become lesbians. Be well whereever you are Tristan.
This is an album I have slept on for some time. I'm almost glad I'm finding it in a stable place in my life because otherwise I'd probably have killed myself listening to this. There is something to be said for deeply personal emotional doom that connects on an intensely relatable level. It's less about riffs and brutality and more about creating an atmosphere of hollow-eyed depression and I'll be goddamned if this doesn't absolutely nail that. Respect to the PlanetTristan glad you're back on the path to righteousness. Everyone is confronted by the heartbreak endemic of the passing of time. People grow apart, people die, people make choices that change the nature of their relationships to each other. All one can do is live deliberately and create their own place in the cosmos.
This album is pure gold. Every time I listen to it, it's like they tell me "hey dude, I know how it feels" . Each song is so fucking emotional and deep...a total masterpiece!
"When I am not alone, I sever silent moments; building bridges with meaningless words and only feel the distance further." Christ. That's an amazing lyric and far too relatable. This is one of the most moving albums I've ever encountered.
Some of the best lyrics about heartbreak I've ever had the pleasure of singing along to. This album goes beyond just the inherent feelings of sadness of going through a break-up but focuses on how loss you can really feel sometimes. How a broken heart can make you question all of existence, How a broken heart can make you question everything that you are, even though you know it doesn't matter what they think of you, even though you know you cant let that define you, they've left you behind and you look at yourself and there's nothing there.
A friend of mine use to listen too this band, I got her into it. At the beginning of this year she deleted herself, listening to this all over again makes me extremely depressed.. RIP Allie..
that sucks, hope you are holding up buddy, while this a great album even if im in a good mood this albums burden of instant darkness and dread. even for the strongest of us. You are not alone, theres always a light at the end of the tunnel even if its a small dim little flame
Just came back from seeing them play this album live. I cried. I cried a lot. spoke to Patrick after the show, shook his hand, thanked him for the emotions. what a guy.
Some albums that sound great at first start to get old overtime and the albums that take longer to get into become more appealing. This album, however, I loved right away, and no matter how many times I hear it, I still love it just as much
You've said it Prog Ride. When I start to listen, the first thing that came to my mind was "... and here comes the harsh vocals" like much of the bands of today and then Pat Walker mute my thoughts. I love metal, it's been the wheel of energy in this body of mine, from Pagan's MInd to Slayer, from Theatre of Tragedy to Manila Road, a lot of ground covered and yet this is the first album or band that has shut my throat with sadness, loneliness and anguish. Walker's vocals resemble someone who is crying deeply from within, inconsolable, no tears or few of them dare to escape and the drums have a profund effect like solely big drops of rain falling onto something made out of metal, peaceful, tranquilizing yet with a sound of beautiful loneliness. What an original musical effort, sure, The 3rd and the Mortal and Solitude Aeturnus' first albums have a sad tone, but not at this level, it's hard to listen when he sings but at the end, it's strangely rewarding.
Still pretty much one of the most beautiful/heartbreaking albums of all time. The atmosphere, the lyrics, the production, the fucking voice of Patrick Walker -> godlike thru and thru.
Life sucks sometimes, but you always got good music and whiskey. Anyone who deceives themselves that life is all joy and fun is full of shit or very fortunate.
yeah, that happened to me, except it was 10 years - 1/3 of my life and all of my adult life. spent every single day with her, and she left like it was absolutely nothing at all. she also stole my dog and started dating a friend of mine a few months later. like, how do you spend 10 years with someone and then just throw them away like garbage?
I feel sorry for that dude, but better days are coming....Similiar things happened to me, but after some years of doing fine in solitude, i met a special lady and she is my wife now, we are living a very good life and have a deep relationship...Walk your way with an open heart and your wounds will heal...the times are going to change and I hope you will be happy again ...
I'm a little confused. From most of the comments it seems like people are interpreting the lyrics like the protagonist's ex did something really shitty to him. But to me it seems like he is regretting his own choices in the relationship, and can't blame his ex at all for what happened.
So they are ambivalent and open to interpretation. This kind of writings tend to grow, increase in depth and have hidden or unrevealed voice. All this come to the listener in time through ones experiences in life, situations where they are and how comprehension of oneself develops with The person one is growing into.
The arguments don't really matter. Severance is severance. Grief from breaking up with a partner, friend, or relative.....losing them to circumstance, fate, cancer, drugs, suicide, indifference, cheating, regret, religion. It's all the same. The basic stages with variation will always be there. When I first heard this, I got the overwhelming sense of a suicide or attempted suicide or addiction....but that's just me.
This album... if there was only one album where you can basically FEEL the singer's emotion, it's this one. The first time I heard it almost when it came out to now maybe the 18-millionth damn time, it punches you in the gut. Damn I love this one.
The last time I was this obsessed with an album. It was around 1997 when I first heard "Morningrise" by Opeth. My greatest regret of the last few decades, was not listening to Watching from a Distance sooner.
My first time hearing this tonight and I do believe my musical ear has changed forever. Tomorrow will be the start of my awakening. Thank you Jay not that you'll see this
49:40 The last seconds of this sublime recording are like the last seconds of life in a breath, the echo that ends and ends the anguish. Everything ends in the end, everything dies. Real Doom.
waited many years to see this band and finally had the opportunity to experience this record from start to finish last october. my arms are sore from the wounds i inflict into them. stabbing myself until i finally release from this existence. all of the emotions i can no longer feel i put into my skin. waiting to die...
People often ask why I listen to so many bands that convey pain, sadness, and tragedy. They just can't understand that I feel a genuine connection to such honest, beautiful music. This is the way that I really feel; I'm not going to pretend like I don't feel all of these things by listening to "happy" music, of which I do like a great deal of within specific genres and eras. That would be being dishonest to myself.
So beyond excited they are coming to Arizona in October playing the album in it's entirety. Sucks I can't find this album anywhere. I play the fuck out of this video. Hope you're doing better dude.
I was jerked around by a woman that profoundly affected me. For years I tried to make it work, poured my heart, sweat and blood in it. Nothing was enough to convince her. It never came to fruition. She found someone else that convinced her with minor effort and she left me, our bond, our trust and relationship, just as alone as when she found me first. I took care of her and loved her the purest way I could. I stand on my own now, moving on and listening to this to quell the anguish of her no longer existing.
Well, IMVHO, and this is the very first time I gave a deep listening to this one, also going through lyrics…, compering with Candlemass masterpiece, is incorrect (trying not saying unfortunate) and as this one, regardless how great on its genre can be (no doubt on that), is not Epic (not even close), not Metallic (not even close), while is definitely not Doom (please check doom definition in any dictionary available). To me sounds heavily romantic (painful romanticism of a kind, the one is hard to cope with at times) and for that I definitely embrace and listen.
Was on a quest to discover new Funeral Doom bands and so I didn't expect to be enthralled by this style of Doom but damn it the simple, direct and heartfelt lyrics + the way they were sang just really hits home!
in your journey have you found anything like this??. I dont really dig this kind of music but damn i've had this on repeat a lot.. i dont really know why. I dont like other "sadness, phobia,hate hard metal bands". This is just so melodic.
Besides the band 40 Watt Sun which is another band by the SAME singer of this one, not really. But, other people keep saying Pallbearer ripped off(or are influenced) by Warning but frankly I'm not feeling it.
I feel for you brother, keep moving forward friend, just because horrible things happen too you does not give you the queue to stop trying to be better. Keep moving forward man! your past experiences don't define you or your chooses today & tomorrow!
this is great music to listen to while suffering through a toxic relationship...his lyrics relate to the pain but it also gives hope and strength to persevere or just move on.
The description sounds just like what happened to me this past June... Used, cheated on, thrown to the fucking vultures hovering above. This album pretty much sums it up.
Beautiful album and one of my favorites. The emotion present throughout is raw and honest, but I have to be really careful when listening to it. It's Ol' Reliable when I'm feeling all shades of awful and I need something the relate with, but too much and it starts having a real effect on me. It's just raw, pained, and sad. No man should ever feel this way.
On the surface some people may look and act like an angel, but deep down inside, once you dissect their surface, you realize they’re carrying a burden with weighted shoulders. Now look back at the album cover.
Back again 4 years later and everything looks so much different. The music and words mean so much more now I’m out the other side. Makes me appreciate this album, and the connectivity of music so much more ❤
I FOUND IT! i tried to remember the name of this first track for days. All of the sudden it came to me 'Warning Metal' sure enough its the track. That first riff has never been so satisfying. This album better than heroin
At first I thought each song kinda sounded samey, but if you distinguish each by lyrical content instead of music itself, then it’s really solid. With that said I wouldn’t be mad if the whole album was just one song split into different parts.
I first heard this about a year and a month ago. At least once a week, I have listened to it since. Not intentionally. It has a way of creeping into my thoughts no matter what I'm doing. I'm actually listening to it on UA-cam right now so my friends don't see me listening to it on Spotify yet again. I first put it on play on Spotify based on the cover art in my recommended. I just wanted something to listen to on my ride home from work. I had no idea what I was getting into... an album has never made me cry so hard. My memories of listening to this in the car, in the shower, in my room in the dark... they'll stick with me forever. For real. Nothing helps me better with change or loss. I just left the house I was living in with my mom and she was a hoarder. Listening to this album was like watching my thoughts progress over all that time. I feel bad for some of the people in reviews I've read who had to enter this album knowing its excellent reception and ended up having their expectations too high and hated it. Going into this album blind completely shook me, and I know I'll never have a musical experience exactly like that again. It feels like a privilege.
For me, Footprints is how it feels as a man, knowing that if you are not strong enough to live up to society's "invincible" expectations of us, that you will be disregarded and discarded without a second thought. It's a lifelong uphill battle that can never be won no matter how hard we fight, one for which we will only ever be tolerated, but never congratulated. The climactic end of this masterpiece is what happens when you, as a man, have no strength left to continue fighting this endless, thankless war, begging for mercy and acceptance, for reprieve and solace from this purgatory; "Here I am wide open, surrendering to your side I have laid down my armour I have no sword at my side I leave behind me the ruins of the fortress I swore to defend" ...but in doing so you have only sealed your fate, ensuring that you will never find any solace or mercy for your weakness, only rejection. You feel forever damned to walk this Earth knowing the one thing that makes people see value in you is that which was forced upon you by way of simply being born as a man. Either you silently accept the endless toiling of your responsibilities, allowing them to become your very identity, or you rot forever in shameful misery for not "being a man" by showing humanity and vulnerability. It leaves you feeling like a broken soldier who has been left behind, as there's no use for a soldier who no longer has the strength to fight. "I leave behind me foundations I'll leave you a man I'll need you to mend And through all the battles around me I never believed I would fight Yet here I stand, a broken soldier Shivering and naked in your winter light"
Thank you very much for uploading this. I've never really listened to Doom Metal so i had my friend give me some recomendations and he mentioned Warning. This voice is embracing, the music as well. It does sound like lament and grievance.
I've just listen to this album, and even though I'm in a great relationship I cried. 'Cause this band have just express so well what it feels like at the end of a relationship, when you have open your heart and show everything you are to someone. Sad but true
One of the most beautifully somber albums I've ever heard. From the vocal and guitar melodies to brooding pacing to the lyrical themes, it's a masterpiece.
It's 2018 I hope you made it to the light, and have moved on from your misery. But listening to this album can cure the wounded soul. But God damn this album is fucking sad.
"can someone feel too much?"🖤 Over the years I wrote alot, A LOT. -poetry, but usually thought and emotion jotted down in effort to understand why my heart didn't just hurt bc of normal life circumstances, but it literally felt like it was bleeding inside. I never saw anyone handle emotional pain in quite the same way I did, to the extremes I felt. the lyrics I quoted above reminds me of my most repeated sentence in every book I filled; - --Is it possible for someone to feel emotional pain more and deeper than everyone else in the world?-- It felt that way at times
It’s 11.40am and I am glad I found this and read your description. I too wasted my self on something/someone/nothing and the regret is eating me alive. I’m no where near where I thought I would be. No one close to who I thought I could be. I don’t know where I’m going or who I will be. What is me...
Hope you're doing better now a days ❤ a lot can change in 4 years, or like in my case just get progressively worse but mostly the same 😂 I got out of an almost 5 year long relationship straight into the pandemic... I've basically been quite alone, quite isolated and supress my emotions sense that period of time. Something that took me way to long to realize, at 25. Nobody has a clue. Nobody knows. Most people are winging it, and anyone who tells you otherwise just likes the admiration you give them. Don't think about the idealized version of you, or what could have been. It always was going to happen this way, based off of the laws of causality. Maybe one day you'll grow into a person you never thought was even possible. Hope life has been or gets better for all of us poor souls on this side of UA-cam 😂
All these years I thought the cover was a winged angel, watching from a distance. Now I realize it's only a man carrying a heavy burden up a steep hill.
Me too, brother, me too...
We must imagine Sisyphus happy.
lowkey reminds me of Led Zeppelin IV album cover
I was todays years old when i realized that it is not an angel
I feel the message of the album, the metaphor, really plays into this man carrying his burdens looking like an angel

1) Play
2) Try not to cry like a bitch
3) Cry like a bitch

Have you tried Unholy - Rapture?!
It's only when you've lived a horrible moment that you can realise how powerful is this album
énorme cette album !!!!!!
This album is like if you extracted the bleakest moments of Sabbath, and locked them in a trunk in a dank Birmingham basement for 20 years.
Wow !
Footprints- "Here I am wide open, surrendering to your side. I have laid down my armour,
I have no sword at my side. I leave behind me the ruins of the fortress I swore to defend;
I leave behind me foundations; I'll leave you a man I'll need you to mend.
And through all the battles around me I never believed I would fight.
Yet here I stand, a broken soldier, shivering and naked, in your winter light."
Gosh, those vocals are so deep and emotionals.
Strong indeed!

you describe exactly what it felt like for me when i fist listend to this Masterwork 8 years ago
Crying is the logical thing to do when listening to this album...there's no way around it. Crushing stuff!
49:40 The last seconds of this sublime recording are like the last seconds of life in a breath, the echo that ends and ends the anguish. Everything ends in the end, everything dies. Real Doom.
waited many years to see this band and finally had the opportunity to experience this record from start to finish last october. my arms are sore from the wounds i inflict into them. stabbing myself until i finally release from this existence. all of the emotions i can no longer feel i put into my skin. waiting to die...
People often ask why I listen to so many bands that convey pain, sadness, and tragedy. They just can't understand that I feel a genuine connection to such honest, beautiful music. This is the way that I really feel; I'm not going to pretend like I don't feel all of these things by listening to "happy" music, of which I do like a great deal of within specific genres and eras. That would be being dishonest to myself.
I was thrilled to see Warning play live in Seattle recently. This album was life-changing to me. Cheers to Pat and company.
So beyond excited they are coming to Arizona in October playing the album in it's entirety. Sucks I can't find this album anywhere. I play the fuck out of this video. Hope you're doing better dude.
I need this album on vinyl, this is great shit.
Tony Svart vinyl reissues up for pre order now
I was jerked around by a woman that profoundly affected me. For years I tried to make it work, poured my heart, sweat and blood in it. Nothing was enough to convince her. It never came to fruition. She found someone else that convinced her with minor effort and she left me, our bond, our trust and relationship, just as alone as when she found me first. I took care of her and loved her the purest way I could. I stand on my own now, moving on and listening to this to quell the anguish of her no longer existing.
I feel you brother, finding myself in the same boat these last few months.
I think of my dad that passed away when I listen to this. It hurts so much but sometimes I just need to feel it
Sometimes I think this is the best doom album of all time... but then I remember that Epicus Doomicus Metallicus exists and then I am torn...
To me this beats it by a little bit
Well, IMVHO, and this is the very first time I gave a deep listening to this one, also going through lyrics…, compering with Candlemass masterpiece, is incorrect (trying not saying unfortunate) and as this one, regardless how great on its genre can be (no doubt on that), is not Epic (not even close), not Metallic (not even close), while is definitely not Doom (please check doom definition in any dictionary available). To me sounds heavily romantic (painful romanticism of a kind, the one is hard to cope with at times) and for that I definitely embrace and listen.
Been listening to this album for something like 12 years and everytime I love it as much as the first time, what an amazing album.
Was on a quest to discover new Funeral Doom bands and so I didn't expect to be enthralled by this style of Doom but damn it the simple, direct and heartfelt lyrics + the way they were sang just really hits home!
in your journey have you found anything like this??. I dont really dig this kind of music but damn i've had this on repeat a lot.. i dont really know why. I dont like other "sadness, phobia,hate hard metal bands". This is just so melodic.
Besides the band 40 Watt Sun which is another band by the SAME singer of this one, not really. But, other people keep saying Pallbearer ripped off(or are influenced) by Warning but frankly I'm not feeling it.
try While Heaven Wept - Sorrow of the Angels
CONFIRMED for Roadburn Festival 2017! Singing this album in it's entirety! See you there!
see you in hell !!!!
I feel for you brother, keep moving forward friend, just because horrible things happen too you does not give you the queue to stop trying to be better.
Keep moving forward man!
your past experiences don't define you or your chooses today & tomorrow!
Thx.
This is the saddest album of all time. I love it
this is great music to listen to while suffering through a toxic relationship...his lyrics relate to the pain but it also gives hope and strength to persevere or just move on.
The description sounds just like what happened to me this past June... Used, cheated on, thrown to the fucking vultures hovering above. This album pretty much sums it up.
Did you live my life? Cause the exact thing happened to me in June
Beautiful album and one of my favorites. The emotion present throughout is raw and honest, but I have to be really careful when listening to it. It's Ol' Reliable when I'm feeling all shades of awful and I need something the relate with, but too much and it starts having a real effect on me.
It's just raw, pained, and sad. No man should ever feel this way.
I just let it consume me
@@spiritualopportunism4585 pretty much same
Wow! Just wow! Just discovered this album. And it hits hard. Not in a break or toxic Relationship, but Yeah im gonne cry now bye
A TRUE DOOM METAL MASTERPIECE, LADIES AND GENTLEMENS!
Que belleza de álbum una obra maestra sin duda. Muy emocional, triste y desolado. Gracias Warning por tan bellas composiciones.
Funeral doom with clean vocals essentially
Very original LP, nails sounding depressive and mournful really well
On the surface some people may look and act like an angel, but deep down inside, once you dissect their surface, you realize they’re carrying a burden with weighted shoulders. Now look back at the album cover.
Hearing his breaks my heart. Hearing this 15 years after the band that created this masterpiece dissolved breaks my heart even more.
Back again 4 years later and everything looks so much different. The music and words mean so much more now I’m out the other side. Makes me appreciate this album, and the connectivity of music so much more ❤
Here 3:15 am crying, drinking wine and seeing the dark sky, beautiful album.
Reading that description broke my heart, hope you're currently in a better place.
I FOUND IT! i tried to remember the name of this first track for days. All of the sudden it came to me 'Warning Metal' sure enough its the track. That first riff has never been so satisfying. This album better than heroin
At first I thought each song kinda sounded samey, but if you distinguish each by lyrical content instead of music itself, then it’s really solid. With that said I wouldn’t be mad if the whole album was just one song split into different parts.
Right on brother, we've all been there and gone through similar stuff in life. Just keep on moving and listening to Warning.... thanks for the upload
Funny how normal people think they know what a love song sounds like. THIS IS DEVASTATING!! 💔
Between the alcohol and the tears this album dehydrates the fuck out of me.
The album that helped me see what a great genre Doom Metal can be. Once in a decade masterwork.
This is my favorite Metal Album of all Time!🤘
This album is enough to make a grown man cry
I first heard this about a year and a month ago. At least once a week, I have listened to it since. Not intentionally. It has a way of creeping into my thoughts no matter what I'm doing. I'm actually listening to it on UA-cam right now so my friends don't see me listening to it on Spotify yet again. I first put it on play on Spotify based on the cover art in my recommended. I just wanted something to listen to on my ride home from work. I had no idea what I was getting into... an album has never made me cry so hard. My memories of listening to this in the car, in the shower, in my room in the dark... they'll stick with me forever. For real. Nothing helps me better with change or loss. I just left the house I was living in with my mom and she was a hoarder. Listening to this album was like watching my thoughts progress over all that time. I feel bad for some of the people in reviews I've read who had to enter this album knowing its excellent reception and ended up having their expectations too high and hated it. Going into this album blind completely shook me, and I know I'll never have a musical experience exactly like that again. It feels like a privilege.
For me, Footprints is how it feels as a man, knowing that if you are not strong enough to live up to society's "invincible" expectations of us, that you will be disregarded and discarded without a second thought.
It's a lifelong uphill battle that can never be won no matter how hard we fight, one for which we will only ever be tolerated, but never congratulated.
The climactic end of this masterpiece is what happens when you, as a man, have no strength left to continue fighting this endless, thankless war, begging for mercy and acceptance, for reprieve and solace from this purgatory;
"Here I am wide open, surrendering to your side
I have laid down my armour
I have no sword at my side
I leave behind me the ruins of the fortress I swore to defend"
...but in doing so you have only sealed your fate, ensuring that you will never find any solace or mercy for your weakness, only rejection. You feel forever damned to walk this Earth knowing the one thing that makes people see value in you is that which was forced upon you by way of simply being born as a man. Either you silently accept the endless toiling of your responsibilities, allowing them to become your very identity, or you rot forever in shameful misery for not "being a man" by showing humanity and vulnerability. It leaves you feeling like a broken soldier who has been left behind, as there's no use for a soldier who no longer has the strength to fight.
"I leave behind me foundations
I'll leave you a man I'll need you to mend
And through all the battles around me
I never believed I would fight
Yet here I stand, a broken soldier
Shivering and naked in your winter light"
these vocals are so fucking perfect
17:20 specifically... this is an example I always point out of actually feeling music instead of just listening.
Thank you very much for uploading this. I've never really listened to Doom Metal so i had my friend give me some recomendations and he mentioned Warning. This voice is embracing, the music as well. It does sound like lament and grievance.
This will never stop nursing my aching heart. May you all feel love and never stop living.
I've just listen to this album, and even though I'm in a great relationship I cried. 'Cause this band have just express so well what it feels like at the end of a relationship, when you have open your heart and show everything you are to someone. Sad but true
Sick album mate, one of those fine and underrated bands
i discovered this a few days ago. Its life-changing good.
While the pace of the album lives up to the genre's rep, this is a fine and consistent recording that any lover of Doom should listen to.
One of the most beautifully somber albums I've ever heard. From the vocal and guitar melodies to brooding pacing to the lyrical themes, it's a masterpiece.
First song is extremely familiar like I listened to it a billion times, very good song!
It's 2018 I hope you made it to the light, and have moved on from your misery. But listening to this album can cure the wounded soul. But God damn this album is fucking sad.
this is Astonishing
many thanks for posting
"can someone feel too much?"🖤 Over the years I wrote alot, A LOT. -poetry, but usually thought and emotion jotted down in effort to understand why my heart didn't just hurt bc of normal life circumstances, but it literally felt like it was bleeding inside. I never saw anyone handle emotional pain in quite the same way I did, to the extremes I felt. the lyrics I quoted above reminds me of my most repeated sentence in every book I filled; - --Is it possible for someone to feel emotional pain more and deeper than everyone else in the world?-- It felt that way at times
I don't think I can like this anymore knowing that a chick likes it.
@@kennethshiro9500 i hope you're joking? Why would you inhibit your brain that way?
@@HollySSW24 There's not much to inhibit, believe me.
It’s 11.40am and I am glad I found this and read your description.
I too wasted my self on something/someone/nothing and the regret is eating me alive. I’m no where near where I thought I would be. No one close to who I thought I could be. I don’t know where I’m going or who I will be. What is me...
Hope you're doing better now a days ❤ a lot can change in 4 years, or like in my case just get progressively worse but mostly the same 😂 I got out of an almost 5 year long relationship straight into the pandemic... I've basically been quite alone, quite isolated and supress my emotions sense that period of time.
Something that took me way to long to realize, at 25. Nobody has a clue. Nobody knows. Most people are winging it, and anyone who tells you otherwise just likes the admiration you give them. Don't think about the idealized version of you, or what could have been. It always was going to happen this way, based off of the laws of causality. Maybe one day you'll grow into a person you never thought was even possible. Hope life has been or gets better for all of us poor souls on this side of UA-cam 😂
... WARNING 🇬🇧 from the UK, timeless stunning Doom-Metal - no more words needed, masterpiece ... 🤘 🇬🇧
Glad to see I’m not the only Brit loving Doom Metalhead .......also BM/MeloDeath/DSBM
hope you're doing good after 5 years mate
Damn, I'm concerned too
>HE'S SQUIDWARD, HE'S SQUIDWARD, YOU'RE SQUIDWARD?! I'M SQUIDWARD! Are there any other Squidwards I should know about?
>the vocals on this album:
That ending of Footprints gives me goosebumps everytime... so powerful.
