Listened to this countless times since I found it yesterday, it's like the best metaphor to describe what an autistic meltdown/mental breakdown/overload feels like when it goes crazy and the screaming in your head it induces the feeling throught my body and then the calm comes , a release of those feelings and back to feeling like I can breath and smile again so affective, litteral music therapy ❤❤❤
@@_.starsettler._ wait is the itchiness from sensory overload?? i genuinely have gotten that my whole life and could never figure out why. That's insane
I love how it’s not only a good song, but it’s the story of how someone survived being trapped in a tornado and having a different outlook on life afterwards.
I live in a place with a lot of tornados luckily I’ve never expected a bad one (knock on wood) but I’m still terrified of any type of storm so that would be an actual nightmare for me
tornado hit my house around a year or so ago and this song is exactly how i felt. i didn't know it was coming and i was in my room just waiting out the thunderstorm, i was on a discord call with some friends and they were helping me keep calm. however the lingering feeling of dread grew as the storm kept getting louder, and louder, and then suddenly BOOM! all of my windows flew open and wind, dirt, sticks, and leaves rushed into my room. i screamed, grabbed my phone and cat and tried to get out of my room but the wind kept pushing the door shut. when i finally pried it open i ran as fast as i could to the basement bathroom. part of a tree branch snapped off the old oak tree in the backyard and landed right on top of the garage, the next morning i saw just how close that branch was from landing in my room... i agree this song perfectly captures how it feels, the gradual sense of danger as you realize the weather is getting bad, the sense of panic, and then the calm after the storm
This song, especially 1:17-2:48, is a perfect representation of what happened the first time our protector saved our first host when we were a child. the sense of panic and fear and transition to comfort when the protector fronted and the host met one of the caregivers in the innerworld. that protector has been singing this for weeks (we're an osdd system)
I can't stop listening to this song without almost crying. It feels like a great representation of the emotions I have during a mental breakdown from cptsd. And the messages of "its always darkest before the dawn" and "I keep hanging on" remind me that it always will get better eventually❤❤
Im autistic and struggle with anxiety and 1:53 is a really good representation/ musical representation of how it feels and 2:44 is what it feels to come out of my meltdowns
When Adam sings “That was when I saw my family with my eyes shut real tight,” I imagine him laying peacefully sleeping, his dreams focused on his family, even if that’s not what he means in the song.
A hurricane is kinda like that. It starts violent, then the eye is calm, then the outer wall brings the wind & rain back in, but it’s not as violent as the first wall.
I cried to God about everything thats been happening to me. This was what popped into my recommendations right before bed and i decided to take a listen. It comforted me cuz even tho thats probably not the meaning of the song. It says to me that God is there in the storm watching over you even when it gets really bad.
Tbh, this song makes me feel connected as I suffer with anxiety.. that has gotten so bad to the point it became its own entity.. never letting me be free from *him*.. him as in the entity, and ik this song is about a Tornado(I believe) I still feel very connected..
EVERY FIBRE IN ME SCREAMED OUT BUT I COULDNT MAKE A SOUNDDD, THE WHIRLING OF A VORTEX, A VIOLENT CARROUSEL, IT SOUNDED LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN WAS DRAGGING ME TO HELLLL!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥 *epic music* AND THISSS WAAAAASSS MYYYY PRAAAAYEERRRR, SAVE ME FROM THIS TERRIBLE NIGHTTTMAREEE🗣️🔥🦅
This perfectly describes what I’ve been through the last four days. Had the most awful experience with a mental health medication. Did NOT agree with me. Woke up with extremely scary tachycardia. Sweating, nauseous, couldn’t sleep for days, crying my eyes out. I already have bad anxiety but this pushed me way over the edge. Thought, “This might be the end.” Thank God for Owl City. His music is brightening my day today as I recover from this ordeal. Hold on tight, everyone. You’ll come out okay on the other side. 🩵
Music: ¡And This What My Prayer,Save Me From This TERRIBLE NIGHTMARE! Me: Uhh..It's "Was" Not "What" ._. ...i'll just pretend that says "was",nice music btw,really perfect,I love the music :D
If someone held a gun to me and said I could survive if I listened to this song in its entirety just one time, I would tell my mom I loved and I would not be home for dinner
"AND THIS WAS MY PRAYER, SAVE ME FROM THIS TERRIBLE NIGHTMARE~"
ASCENDING 😍😍😍
REAL
I heard it from a vid and I searched it up immediately lol
@@paigelarsen same lmao

As an autistic person I can agree
yes
as an autistic person (I think), i didn't immediately understand thats that its describing but it makes so much sense
Yeah, I had a shit ton of sensory overloads with itchiness as a kid, terrible. Nothing could really stop it except for coldness

This song hits different when you just barely survived a tornado 😅
Oh gosh! Hope you and your family are ok!😅😅

“How to feel trapped in a tunnel but come out the other side” 🥺🥺🥺
just like a tornado, starts out calm..then get violent, then calms down again.

@@olivijastrandjord well, yes, that too.
@@Chalky_ThreeEE I know you were talking about a tornado, but the way you talked about it reminded me of a hurricane.
A friend showed me this song two days ago and I love it, I wish I had this when I was 16, but glad i have it now
Adam has a way of floating into my life when I need his songs the most. ❤❤ God bless him.
