    Yo Fam,
    I've been wanting to share something super personal for a while and just wasn't exactly sure how to do it. I'm at the point now where I've heard countless stories from you. Some of you have said my music changed your life, helped you through depression, addiction, a lost loved one, the list goes on. Honestly, I feel bad because you don't know how much that truly means to me, because I've been there too... In the depths.
    Six years ago I overdosed on heroin. I struggled with opiate addiction from a young age. I was trapped in it, had no passion, no direction, and truly hated myself. It was such a dark time for me and my family because when it gets bad enough, hope begins to dim and there's no escaping reality. I'm not telling you to preach or say how I found some magical cure or that everyone needs to live like I do. I'm the biggest advocate for people living their own lives and spreading their own love in their own ways. I'm just sharing my story and relating because music saved my life too. With everything that has been going on with my career, I always keep reminding myself of that. My main goal with music is to try and help people overcome their struggles and also enjoy the moment.
    With all that said , 'Take You Down' is about my struggles with addiction and what it can do to families and loved ones. It's more specifically about my mom, and how no matter what, she never gave up on me and always continued to see the good even though all I was doing was messing up. To anyone struggling like I did, not just with addiction but anything in life, I hope you guys can find peace in your struggles and know that anything can be overcome. I've been clean since that overdose and I owe that to finding my passion and being surrounded by the most loving people I could ever ask for. Thank you for always listening and being open. Thank you for sharing your own stories and your love of music with me. Love you all forever :)

    This is hella depressing but everytime I hear the part 'this life is like a razor, When it cuts I bleed. But it's in my hand and I'm doing it to me' I start to cry... my entire life I feel like I've been sabotaging my own life because I don't feel like I'm good enough to live. But I'm trying so hard to change that mindset and become a person I'm proud of being and earning the place I have on this earth. This is honestly my most favorite song ever because it reminds me of how far I've come.

      -Change is one of the most difficult things that we face.
      -Change is inevitable
      -one reason we dont like change is we get comfortable with were we are.
      -we get used to our friends, or job, the place we live.
      -and even if it's not perfect, we accept it because it's familiar.
      -what happens is because we are not willing to change, we get stuck with what god used to do, instead of moving forward and doing what god is about to do.
      -just because god has blessed you with what you have, it doesn't mean you can just sit back and settle there.
      - you have to stay open to what god is doing now.
      -what worked 5 years ago, might not work today.
      -if you want to be successful, you have to be willing to change.
      -every blessing is not ment to be permanent.
      -every provision is not ment to last forever.
      -we should constantly evaluate our friendships.
      -who is speaking into your life, who are you depending on.
      -make sure they are not dragging you down, limiting you from blossoming.
      -everybody is not supposed to be in our life forever.
      -if you don't get rid of the wrong friends you will never meet the right friends.

      What is “good enough”? Who told you that you had to earn your place? You’re here on purpose whether you do something with your life or not. It took me a long time to come to that conclusion. If you do absolutely nothing with your life you’ve already earned your spot. Sometimes just getting up and starting your day is an accomplishment. Life is a journey NOT a destination. Pride yourself in small things, they can add up with time.

    This song is incredibly close to my heart. For years I have struggled with depression and anxiety and other things.
    I've scared almost everyone in my life away from me because of it. Friends have abandoned me when I needed them the most, family became quiet, and I became distant because of it.. I didn't want to hurt anyone else because I was hurting myself. I would be pushing people away without realizing it, losing myself because of it, stuffing down my feelings til it began to kill me and take over my head. I was all alone with seemingly no one to turn to. I didn't want to take anyone else down with me. So I became quiet too.. I faked a smile, and distanced myself from people who I knew didn't care about me and my mental health, but what I didn't realize is that I was pushing away people who cared. Cause I cared about them too much, I didn't want to hurt them too..
    I am at my all time low in my life, attempted suicide because of it a few weeks ago, but here I am still.
    I am still suffering more than my brain can wrap itself around, more than I can contain.
    Illenium if you wind up reading this, I'd like you to know that when you released this song I had never felt more connected to you. I felt everything that was put into this song. I felt every emotion, every word, every pain felt, everything. I cried as soon as I heard it, drew some art inspired by it, and still listen to it everyday. It reminds me of how you pulled yourself out of a dark time, and I hope I can do it too.
    I'd like to thank you for making this, it really hits close to home.
    Love you Nick. Thank you for your wonderful music.

We maybe different in terms of creed, caste, religion and society but we feel the same. That's what connects us and the medium being this wonderful song. A person from an another country and place can't feel the same but through a medium relating to both the sides. This is music. Wishing you a great life ahead and success. And for me too. Cheers! 🎂

    I lost my husband of 25 years in January due to complications of addictions. We weren't together at the time because of the addiction but we had 4 amazing daughters together and I'll always Love him. In May this year I saw you perform at EDC Vegas and tripped with you. It was an experience I will never forget. Thank you for that journey through my feelings and helping me connect. "Where'd you go?" was particularly special. Thank you. I am your new fan and I hope you find your peace. Much love to all 💗

      I'm very sorry to hear about your husband. It's obviously not the same, but my best friend passed July 2019 from an OD. I remember thinking at his funeral how I wish he'd been there to crack a joke and make us feel better. He had a knack for making the best of shitty situations, but he struggled after returning from Iraq and the addiction set in hard. Rest in peace bud, and I'll catch ya on the other side.

    "Take you down" Lyrics
    I didn't mean to hurt you
    When I hurt myself
    It's just an empty voice screaming out for help
    No I didn't mean to scare you
    But I couldn't see
    That when I went to hell I was taking you with me
    (Chorus)
    When I close my eyes
    I'm climbing in the dark
    Trying not to fall apart
    Sometimes I get so high
    Falling is the only out I see
    And I don't wanna take you down with me
    Take you down, take you down with me
    Down with me
    This life is like a razor
    When it cuts I bleed
    When it's in my hand and I'm doing it to me
    Sometimes it's like an ocean
    And it gets too deep
    There's no way that you can rescue me
    (Chorus 2)
    When I close my eyes
    I'm fighting in the dark
    Trying not to break your heart
    Sometimes I get so high
    Falling is the only out I see
    And I don't wanna take you down with me
    You need to let go now
    Before you dream
    I know that you won't understand
    You need to let go of this hand
    Cause I'm going down
    And I don't wanna take you down with me
    *don't wanna take you down with me*
    This truly does reflect a lot of people who have any kind of problem with addiction, thank you for making this masterpiece and many others I have personally listened to throughout the years! :)

    I’ve listened to this song basically since it’s release. Every once in a while I’ll scroll through the comments for hours reading everyone’s stories. The community here is so incredibly supportive and I genuinely thank everyone for sharing their personal life details.
    I have never left a comment on any video before, and I don’t know if I ever will again. But with my one comment I just want to give a shoutout to all the people listening to this song who AREN’T commenting themselves. I know what it’s like to scroll and scroll and cry and cry. And I know that even though there are so many amazing people sharing their stories, there are 10 times as many more not sharing. I’ve been there. So for all the wallflowers out there, know that you’re not alone. Even if you’re not talking, as long as you’re here, you will have a community that truly understands.
    Hope everyone’s having a good day, and good luck.

    Lyrics
    I didn't mean to hurt you when I hurt myself
    It's just an empty voice screaming out for help
    No, I didn't mean to scare you
    But I couldn't see
    That when I went to hell I was taking you with me
    When I close my eyes
    I'm climbing in the dark
    Trying not to fall apart
    Sometimes I get so high
    Falling is the only out I see
    And I don't wanna take you down with me
    You're the love in my heart
    Only love in my heart
    Take you down
    Take you down with me
    (Don't wanna take you down)
    (Take you down)
    Down with me
    Down, you're down with me
    Down, you're down with me
    (You're the love in my heart)
    (Only love in my heart)
    (Take you down)
    This life is like a razor
    When it cuts, I bleed
    But it's in my hand and I'm doing it to me
    Sometimes it's like an ocean
    And it gets too deep
    And there's no way that now you could rescue me
    When I close my eyes
    I'm fighting in the dark
    Trying not to break your heart
    Sometimes I get so high
    Falling is the only out I see
    And I don't wanna take you down with me
    You need to let it go now
    Before you drown
    I know that you won't understand
    But you need to let go of this hand
    'Cause I'm going down
    And I don't wanna take you down with me
    And I don't wanna take you down with me
    Take you down, down with me

    I was obssessed with cutting myself, and having suicidal thoughts. i found my peace by listening to Illenium, and streaming video games to talk to a lot of people in the community.

    sometimes I feel sad
    sometimes I feel I'm gonna fall apart
    sometimes depression taking over all my body
    there are a lot of things happening in my life, are beating me to fall down, I fall down every time
    sometimes I wish if I fell down I don't wanna get up.
    but one thing for sure I don't know why this pure music giving me so much inspiration.

    Crazy thing about Illenium is his music has been the type of music all us sadboi's have been yearning for. Stories/situations of heartache/rebirth/and unreciprocated love.
    All his musical pieces stem from special places in people's hearts. Thanks for gracing us with your music, Nick.

    • @JV-ps6xp
      @JV-ps6xp 5 років тому +7

      Nick understands every fiber of emotion in the human anatomy at an unsurpassed angle/range.
      He understands the rage, the lies, the emptiness, the loneliness, the loud banging in your head, the screams, the moments with your loved ones, the moments without your loved ones, the hollow insides of people, the feeling of being abandoned, the list can go on, lol.
      Not only is he a beautiful/rare entity seen once in lifetimes, he has the genius to fuse/incorporate/compose these emotions into mindblowing lyrics, verses, choruses, drops, instrumentals. Proof of this is in the genius of Fractures, Lost, Gold, Beautiful Creatures, Reverie, Sound of Walking Away, Where'd U Go etc.
      Sure, his songs may sound simple but every measure and every single second in ALL his songs are well-thought through.
      Illenium is life.

Your music has helped me through some of the toughest parts in my life thus far and to read what you've said that you've been through made this song and all your other songs even more special to me. I'd just like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the hard work you have done.

    My cat died today. I owned her for only 5 short years, she didn’t deserve the hard life she had, and I wish I could have done more to help make her life better before she passed from some unknown disease.
    Cali, you left a hole in my heart that I’ll never fill. And I love you more than anything.
    I wish I wouldn’t have taken you down with me. Maybe it was my bad luck, whatever it was, she didn’t deserve it. This world is cruel, and you didn’t deserve anything but the best.

    Illenium. Ever since I heard your music few years ago I fell in love.
    I had no idea you struggled with opiate addiction. I'm currently struggling with it too. Been struggling for 3 years now.
    I'm 72 hrs sober from my latest relapse. It feels like I go in cycles and just keep fucking up, right after things were going so well and life seemed to be going OK while sober. Doesn't take long until I fuck up again.
    Sometimes it feels as if there is no way out, but to shut off the lights.
    Your music is so beautiful. So so beautiful. Honestly, I'd be glad if I could touch someones life the way you've touched so many with your beautiful melodies. I think that would give me some purpose you know.
    Anyways I'm just rambling, thank you for everything you do man.

    From a human heart to another human heart, I sincerely thank you for your vulnerability and diving deep into this space. It's so apparent why you do what you do. You've shared parts of so many of our souls, and let us know that we're not alone. The darkness can be so lonely, so daunting, so dim, so bleak, so hopeless. But to hear and know that there are others out there in the darkness fighting the same exact demons radiates hope. And even if one can't feel or see the light in this very moment, even if it seems impossible to go on, to know that one is not alone, can be the spark one is looking for. To know that from this place of complete darkness, one can be an alchemist. One can turn the darkness into art, an expression of the human experience. Because at our very core, we're not all that different. We tap into the same pain, we feel the same joy, we experience the same depth in the universe. We're all just various mixtures of the same stardust. THANK YOU.

    I was filled with suicidal thoughts ...I was feeling almost nothing I started posting suicidal posts on my socials but people said am js looking for attention...this made me more hurt 😔...I died inside .Its a miracle that I'm here listening to this piece of music that changed my life and I'm still breathing because of this song ...IN THIS WORLD MENTAL HEALTH IS UNDERRATED.

    You know what's worse than feeling depressed when no one is there when you need them the most? Feeling depressed even there are friends & family that loves and cares for you. Yet you don't know why you're still depressed.
    This song resonates so hard with that feeling. Here's hoping all of us gets the strength we need to fight it.

      Ironically believing that maybe friends/ family can fill in that void u have within but they only make it worse. Especially sharing a secret assuming they’re best friends protecting ur back. but they’re the one that stabs it when they get the chance for their benefit/amusement. Have friends but nothing more the human being is nothing more than a greedy/selfish.. species

    [Verse 1]
    I didn’t mean to hurt you when I hurt myself
    It’s just an empty lie screaming out for help
    No, I didn’t mean to scare you
    But I couldn’t see that when I went to hell
    I was taking you with me
    [Chorus]
    When I close my eyes
    I’m climbing in the dark
    Trying not to fall apart
    Sometimes I get so high
    Falling is the only out I see
    And I don’t wanna take you down with me
    Take you down, take you down with me
    (Take you down, take you down, take you down)
    Down with me
    [Verse 2]
    This life is like a razor
    When it cuts I bleed
    But it's in my hand
    And I'm doing it to me
    Sometimes it's like an ocean
    And it gets too deep
    There's no way that now
    You could rescue me
    [Chorus]
    When I close my eyes
    I’m fighting in the dark
    Trying not to break your heart
    Sometimes I get so high
    Falling is the only out I see
    And I don’t wanna take you down with me
    [Bridge]
    You need to let it go now
    Before you drown
    I know that you won't understand
    You need to let go of these hands
    Cause I'm going now
    And I don't wanna take you down with me
    [Outro]
    And I don't wanna take you down with me
    Take you down, down with me

    This song really hit home.
    I've been struggling with social anxiety, bad self-esteem and depression for quite a while. Maybe 7 to 8 years now.
    And it is the worst combination...the worst.
    Sometimes I'm fine. Sometimes the darkness overtakes my life and I can't seem to find an exit until I self harm.
    The day I realized I needed professional help was when I realized that I don't know what happiness truly is. I'm not sure I've ever experienced it.
    And just last year in September my doctor told me I had diabetes. Which did not help with my self-esteem...I started eating less...I probably lost 40 pounds within a short amount of time...and ever since....I've had a bad relationship with food. I don't love me.....If it weren't for my boyfriend, I think I would have developed an eating disorder. Yes, I'm still battling my relationship with food. Yes, I still throw up my food (not as often as before) and yes I'm still scared to eat....but I've gotten better.
    I'm not sure where I was going with this....but I just want you guys to know that you aren't alone if you guys are going through something.
    I know it can be hard (trust me, I know) but keep fighting. I still am.
    Take care.
    Hope the best for you all.
