- Therapist analyzes the lyrics of Last Resort by Papa Roach to help individuals understand the mindset of suicidal people as well as encourage those with suicidal thoughts to take one last try toward healing by reaching out for support. Suicidal thoughts tell us that there are no other options for us, but the truth is if you reach out you might find new possibilities.

This song/album is one of the few reasons I'm still here
Falling in Reverse did this song it's own justice, soo powerful
@@iiJaws autotuned to shit though, unfortunately.
@@strider5119 But Jacoby Shaddix saw it differently, he also thinks the version is great, watch the video with Ronnie and Jacoby
I'm glad you're still here..... Metallica and Slayer were there for me.
Tool, beartooth, and 5fdp for me. Almost drank myself to death on purpose... depression and addiction are hell. Glad we're all still here. Music saved us
this is soo true Taylor about the last cry for help. I was in this situation 5 years ago after my divorce. I was so close to doing it and I said to a co-worker "I don't care I won't be here monday" Thankfully he took it seriously and called my boss right away. It was a sunday. She drove to meet me at work from her home. She started talking to me , taking my feelings seriously. I told her that my daughter would be better off without me and shocked me by telling me that her dad commited suicide when she was little and that she wasn't better off. That shook me and I got some help at that very moment. I am very thankful to her.
Thank you for staying. Praying for you man. I miss my brother deeply. Same situation. Ive never been the same since. Much love
Wow. What an incredible story. It just proves that when people actually talk to each other about issues such as this, that wonderful things can happen. I've heard a few stories down the years of people taking their lives completely unexpectedly, people with lovely families amid affluent surroundings...no apparent logic. Whatever we're going through, we just need to TALK to someone and share our innermost feelings of fear, loneliness or paranoia. Please, just TALK.
The Falling in Reverse cover of this, literally broke me, I bawled.
I deal with suicidal Ideology, it's been a none stop battle for the last 9 years and Ronny nailed it with a more adult feeling, Papa Roach made this in my adolescence and the meaning really didn't impact me back then, now.. it's very very real.
From Micro: @Atlas_UK Yeah, it's interesting how we can re-discover a music years later as it just resonates differently with our heart. I like to think that we somehow "meet" the right music at significant times - and when the timing is appropriate there is a real magic happening. The experience you have with Papa Roach, of now feeling like it's somehow like holding a mirror to you, is one that I'm sure many of us can relate to here. And somehow there may be comfort to find in at least knowing that we are not alone in our struggles, even when it feels like we're prisoners of our own mind and that no one can see it. For what it's worth from a stranger like me, I see you, I hear you right now, and I understand through my own struggles suicidal ideation the heaviness of the burdens you've been carrying.
I started to struggle with suicidal thoughts when I was a kid, but to me it is something that comes and go usually. When it's gone though it's not really away. It's simply more muted. It feels like having this dark shadow following you everywhere you go and like you just can't get rid of it. I hate that it manifests as this inner voice that invites me to give up on everything - to give up on hope - whether I am having a good or a bad time. It doesn't discriminate between what's good or not. It's just constantly and continuously there, while it doesn't feel like you can just push it away or ignore it either. It's like being stuck in the same room with someone trying to influence you to move towards a different direction while you know it is no good. It takes so much energy to compose with it daily, to keep finding your way through this life while there's a song on repeat inside of your mind telling you to end it all.
Nine years of struggling with this must have been such a hard and intense battle for you. I can't begin to imagine the amount of tears and dark days you had to go through. It is so hard to feel like your own mind is a trap you're stuck in, and that what's inside of it keeps bringing you down more and more. It's even more difficult that it'shard to express it, to actually put words on it and find someone that would be able to hear you out. Suicidal ideation is a lonely burden to carry, and for all these reasons I'm so thankful you chose to speak about it today, because you certainly don't deserve to stay alone with it. Not years ago, not today, not ever.
If there is one certainty in the midst of this, it is that you are never wrong for opening up, for talking about it, for reaching out or even asking for help. There are burdens that need to be spoken so they can appear less intimidating, eventually less heavy. And there are people out there willing to carry the burdens with us - who understand what it's like, who get it because they've been there too, and who can bring inspiration as they speak from the other side of this obstacle - from where breathing feels much lighter and is not in contradiction with being alive.
To these thoughts that try to take the best of you, I want to say to them that you matter very much, and you didn't come so far to let them have the last word. That you know and understand them, that you see through them and have so much strength within than they could ever imagine. And I want to say to you that you belong in this world, even during moments when you feel like you don't. You will get through this, friend. And through it, you can be sure that you have allies here willing to walk alongside you. You're not alone.
Sending much hugs and thoughts your way.
-Micro
@@HeartSupport You should check out falling in reverses cover of this song it hits the heart in a mature way that feels more impactive.
@@HeartSupport Thank you for the kind message Micro, The battle continues, but I know the consequences would result in not my own demise, but another's too, my mother's heart would give out for sure given her poor health, and it would take her too, taking my own life is one thing but my moms too, I couldn't forgive myself for that, So I fight on.
what an AMAZING version by Falling in Reverse
Ronnie is a pure Genius
Had a feeling youd get around to this one lol
Papa Roach is my favorite band, so heres the story behind last resort
Jacoby, the singer, wrote it about a childhood friend of his, named Mark Parham.
Jacoby and Mark had a rough upbringing, both used drugs + alcohol quite heavily
Eventually the drugs sent Mark into depressive spiral, eventually leading to him attempting suicide.
Mark went to treatment, got sober, came back, and jacoby felt like he couldn’t relate to who mark had become bc jacoby was still very much in that world of addiction
The song is about Marks downward spiral through the eyes of jacoby, who felt responsible for the whole thing because he was the one who introduced drugs to the situation
Years later jacoby eventually had his own issues with depression and suicidal tendencies, as such he says the song took on a new meaning for him at that time
Today Mark and Jacoby are both alive and well, got sober, and have families
holy shit
Therapist, I'm sorry about the friend you lost. You're an inspiration to many lost souls who listen to you. God bless you for the good work you do.
I am suicidal, i have tried to take my own life three times, the first time i got help put on me, that made me realise i needed the help, although it took a long time for me to realise it, but i realised it finally.
The thoughts of myself and the way i went through my days at the worst pain, to be honest if people knew and could actually be put into my shoes to see and feel the way i feel as a non suicidal person, they would most likely never even vocal the words that suicidal people are selfish and it is a selfish act.
The last time of my suicidal attempt i stood on a bridge in the early morning above a traintrack, if falling from the bridge didn’t do it, the train would definitively do it and send the peace of mind finally to me to get rid of the bullying horrible demonic thoughts that every waking hour haunted me……but my fear of doing it got the better of me, although i blamed myself for that too, that i was such a weak person who couldn’t even do this, i am happy that fear took over once again.
For anyone who is suicidal and feel that you are in the darkness wandering alone, remember that you are loved, cherished and appreciated for you, you are amazing and i am sending you lots of love ❤️ and hugs 🤗.
You are not alone, you got me, reach out your hand and i will meet it halfway 😊.
Now, you must react to the Reimagined version of Last Resort by Falling in Reverse. the same lyrics, but another emotion masterpiece
The fact that you describe it as a fight, You're literally in a battle with yourself, and its relentless. Having someone, anyone, to listen and make you feel not alone, make you feel like SOMEONE actually cares if you live or die, is sometimes all you need to push back against the darkness.
Some of the songs that have helped me in my darker moments, maybe they can help some of yall too -
Korn - Daddy (that one can be tough to listen too. Very graphic)
Deftones - Sextape
Flyleaf - Im so sick
Alice in chains - rain when i die
Alice in chains - down in a hole
Papa roach - lifeline
Linkin park - powerless
Audioslave - i am the highway
Led Zeppelin - Gallows pole
Everyone else jams to this song this song used to make me cry my damn eyes out
When I first heard it as a teen, I just rocked out to it because of the rhythm and energy. As I've gotten older, and I've taken down many of my emotional walls, this song hits in a completely different way. I have to hold tears back everytime I listen to this song
As a person that as battled this for over decade it is mind refreshing to watch someone that gets it!! Spread peace and love!!!!
I wish I could find someone like you to talk to. I love your insights and you seem easy to talk to. I just had my 24 year anniversary of being a quadriplegic and in a wheelchair from a car accident which i was passenger. I have yet to really talk to anyone about it seriously.
Ronnie Radke/Falling In Reverse covered Last Resort in a very different way. Their version brings out a lot of different things even though it's the same song.
Absolutely! That's a must-listen too track.
Gotta say i just really dont enjoy falling in reverse's take on it. I feel like it made the song way more, idk emo doesnt seem like the right word for it, but all the energy is gone and thats what makes the song great to me. I can understand why people like it but i cant listen to the same exact lyrics and not just hear papa roach behind it
@@Mandonburphy Fair thought there
@@Mandonburphy the song at the time was made for one of jacoby's friends who lost his mother and the song prevented him from taking his life.
It’s amazing! With the original I generally get caught up in how catchy the song is and when I do listen to the lyrics they aren’t sung in a super emotional way more of a pissed off way so I’m like damn but I don’t get super emotional whereas the falling in reverse version made me tear up and made me super emotional the first time I heard it
MUST listen to Falling In Reverse covering it! You will be mind blown !!!!!!!
Gotta listen to Ronies version now. Falling in Reverse has changed a lot over the years.
OMG. Thank you for your perspective. I can't describe how much I connect. Thank you. Stay awesome.
I'm a survivor of 22 attempts. I learned that the pain doesn't stop. It transfers to those who love you. I'm so happy that I found my purpose 8 years ago. No self harming thoughts since. Loving Life!
Therapist I am sorry to hear about your friend and thank you for your words to people dealing with suicide
This song just helped me get through the hardest times of my life. Love papa roach!!!
sometimes its just because we have reached the limit and want an end of the pain..... i reached out and a friend found me moments from the end and got me to a hospital so good for you for trying to help
My counselor says "suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem"
I have had many low points in my life, I would be ready to end my life, and every time I backed out at the last minute in fear of dying and fear of it being painful.
My most recent one, was only 2 years ago. I grabbed my gun, I knew exactly how I was going to hold it, pin it up to the wall with my weight as to not give it any room to flinch when I pulled the trigger. I knew exactly where I was going to shoot in order to make it quick and painless. When I went to chamber a round, my gun was empty. As it turned out, my wife had noticed my mental health declining for months, and she grew worried, and a week before she had hidden my loaded magazine. Her and I may be divorcing, we may have had some serious problems, and she may have said things to me out of anger that were so aweful that I don't care to repeat it. But, despite everything, she cared enough to remove a hazard from my path, and she actually saved my life because of it. She walked in on me when I was getting ready to do it, and I yelled at her asking where my ammo was, she simply told me she hid it last week. To this day, I don't think she fully comprehends that she saved my life
in part thanks to this song and the story behind it I've gotten help I've needed at the time.
So depression is tamed if not treated, I'm still around and doing things.
What a powerful song, this.
This channel is a refreshing take on some of the feelings our hearts and minds go through.
For me it feels like I’m playing hide and seek with the black dog.
I think like I’ve found a solid hiding space for a bit of a reprieve. Sometimes for a day, sometimes for years but then the bastard turns up and bites me on the ass.
Wish somebody would tell me I’m fine hit hard all those years ago and it still packs a punch.
It’s an amazing gift to be able to support someone who has mental turmoil and I really enjoy being others voice of reason and believing in the good in all but fuck me it’s tough when looking for a little reciprocation.
Big love. Love the channel and the energy ❤
Perfect song Perfect reaction
You are an amazing human being, lady.
This is my theme song unfortunately. Thankyou for dissecting it so well. Ivr lived with this mindset for about 36 of 46 years and its only my kids that keep me alive
So I've suffered from depression since i was 5 years old. I know that sounds odd, and even then i didn't know or understand it until i got older. My mother passed away suddenly when i was 5, then my father passed when I was 15. I'm 29 now, I had attempted suicide a handful of times throughout my life. I now see a counselor regularly, and I take medication for my depression and anxiety. Honestly, I don't think i would be here today if it wasn't for a several people who are incredibly important to me. Two friends of mine, they may not have known the proper words to say, but that was fine, because knowing they were there for me spoke so much louder than words possibly could. My oldest brother, he is always willing to listen and help me understand and talk through what i may be going through or feeling. After our father passed, he was in a low place and almost ended his life after drinking to much, my oldest sister is the one who found him in that state, and got him the help he needed. It's comforting knowing I can turn to my brother when I'm in a low place, since he has been there before, and still came out the other side. When I told him I was going to counseling and was prescribed antidepressants and found a medicine that helped, he said something that he has never said to me before, he told me he was proud of me.
And most importantly, my daughter. Because of her, i have completely changed as a person, and she is my reason to stay in this world, she is truly my guiding light when I'm at my darkest place in my head the proper words to say, but that was okay, because knowing they were there for me spoke so much louder than words possibly could. And most importantly, my daughter. Because of her, i have completely changed as a person, and she is my reason to stay in this world, she is truly my guiding light when I'm at my darkest place in my head.
I have had friends and coworkers who suddenly ended their lives, and I just can't help but think
"how did I miss the signs when I suffer from those demons too? I hide it with humor and always being happy and friendly, and it just hurts knowing that they had done the same thing and I didn't see it. What could I have done to possibly help them? What can I do in the future for someone who may be at the lowest point in their life?"
There are many things that keep me up at night, and this is the most recurring one
Forever is my favorite paparoach song
I like the way my friends are supportive that I will take my life because they know the pain
love you so much!
I just found this and I have watched every video I have had a smile on my face it's so nice to see someone get into metal I love the dancing I struggle with BPD and chemical dependant issues I had a bad night last night and was lost in my head and watched the sulfer video after watching alot of videos i fell asleep and woke up still clean abd still alive thank you so much
I don't know you, but it makes me truly happy to read that you're still here.
And I agree, I love her music reaction/break down videos because her energy while listening to it is intoxicating, and then when she breaks down the lyrics to give her thoughts on what it means is so very entertaining and helpful. I listen to all genres of music, but rock and metal are my go to. People tend to think those of us who listen to metal and what not are angry and violent individuals, when in reality, we are actually pretty upbeat people. I think because since we listen to extremely energetic songs that are able to put into words many of our thoughts, feelings and emotions that otherwise we wouldn't be able to express ourselves, it's a form of letting go those bottled up emotions
Thanks for opening this beautiful channel
Thank you
My friend took her own life as a Master's Degree holder in Counseling with her own practice. She also had young children. It's so hard.😢
Look girl there's a reason I assume & or I'd bet that you are successful at what you do because that passion definitely comes across as true sincerity to those seeking words that may help them figure the way out of whatever storm ones in! So keep on keeping on & know that smiling stay strong face of personality you have helps !
What a lovely reaction. ❤ 🙋♂
Between angels and insects by papa roach is my faviorate. Your reactions are the best🤘🏻🏴
The thought of doing it crossed my mind today, but I can never go through with it because I don't just think about myself. I consider how it will impact the people around me who love me. Even though today is extremely challenging, it doesn't mean that tomorrow won't be better. If you're one of those people hurting inside, know that you're not alone and that everything is going to be fine. You'll be alright. Fight the battle and never give up. I hope this helps someone going through hard times. Remember, God is with you, and He loves you.
As I'm preparing to comment on your comment, I realize you made this comment a month ago, so I just want to start by saying, I hope you're still with us.
I have these thoughts daily. Sometimes just a quick thought, other times it's a constant presence for days. Two things help me not act on those impulses.
1: my counselor has said to me " suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem". I stated this as a response in someone else's comment as well.
2: I try and focus on the one thing in this world that is more important to me then anything, even more important than my life and my darkness. My daughter. She is the one thing in this world that gives me the strength to tolerate my depression and suicidal thoughts
@@reaper4earthcod801 Still alive and going strong thanks for kind words
There is a music video of theirs called Broken Home and there it tells what they have been through, it is very good to analyze. I recommend it, papa roach - broken home
This album is one of those rare albums that you can play from first to last song without skipping!! Another no skip album is the Rancid….and out come the wolves album!
my wife and I cried when this song came out. we did not not think another song!! well all you need to do in listen to ears or Fears the first album.
Please listen to Pantera's cemetery Gates.
Im developing a massive crush on you. You are so unapologetically you, you don’t seem to filter your feelings and you’re so in tune to feels and that is such a rarre gift
Interesting explanation on how you define the two meanings of "The Last Resort." To take that a little further, I think that the one fighting and striving to stay alive might equate to a primal or subconscious process that is inherent in every living thing on Earth, human or not; the will to survive. It's the bad mental side versus the biological side.
Falling in Reverse’s cover of this hits so much harder to me. Like this version will always be a banger but Falling in Reverse makes you feel the lyrics.
only so much of that constant battle you can take before you finally just say ok
Something a lot of people don't realize, is everyone has a breaking point. Some of us are fortunate enough to never realize that. Others, know exactly where there breaking point is.
You rock, as a human :)
This song is true as can be. My dad tried. I don't go into it but he made it.
Love your analysis, i would like u listen to Youth of the Nation from POD, and The kids aren't alright, from The Offspring. Those songs always hit me hard.
I remember my other half reached out to me was his last resort of losing his life. I was torn into peaces. He was battling for years until his last breath.
Please, PLEASE, tell me you gonna post Ronnie's version of this song!
As someone who loves both bands and hear this kind of music ever since I was in my late childhood, I say that both resonates with the time that passed, iykwim. The pain transformed into rage and hate as a teenager and then you actually allowing yourself to feel, to sorrow, to cry and whatnot, y'know
You need to do a review of Papa Roach's "Leave A Light On", and Disturbed's "A Reason To Fight" which makes me cry every time I hear it cause it really hits home. Both are huge supporters of mental health reform and suicide prevention. David Draiman (Disturbed) stops the show at some concerts and talks about it. He has people up on the stage who are suffering from thoughts of suicide and need to be lifted up and understood and then plays this song.
If no one has mentioned this if im not mistaken he wrote this song because of one of his close friends who had attempted suicide and later when he hit his lowest this song also helped him.
one that is incredibly heavy but also allows great discussion is Su$cide from Ren. its done in 2 parts where first is from a the persons perspective and the 2nd is from someone left behind and it really is an eye opener.
Great job with your analysis and reaction to the song Last Resort from Papa Roach if you enjoy this song you might want to check out We Are The Youth of A Nation from P.O.D.
Please react to the Falling in Reverse reimagining of this song. You will be amazed at how much more emotion is brought out of the lyrics. It was played for the lead singer of Papa Roach before being released & he loved it.
We're good at the silence
Try being "unemployable" for 10 years... I thought of topping myself. Now i manage my own store. Theres always light at the end
Get out of my head. You are driving me out of my mind. Lol. Seriously I fuckn love it all. You are my favorite person. I love you. (Not in a creepy wired way.) but in a fellow human being, relatable and it just doesn’t feel like such a lonely way.) no one really gets music most of the time. They just like the melodies. Thank you
I remember locking myself in a bathroom and swallowing alot of pills while playing this song dont remember much but waking up in a hospital to my stomach being pumped!!!
I stumbled upon your videos two days ago, and I really like these reactions to metal songs, it made me think about changing stuff in my life... so a big Thank You! from here. I would really like if you would react to some Pantera. They are my favorite band, and the pioneers of groove metal which is commonly about personal struggles. Some songs from Pantera (that I can somewhat relate to): Cemetery Gates, I'm Broken, The Sleep, Revolution is my name.
Edit: I would definitely watch a Linkin Park or a TOOL reaction too
Eu ainda estou aqui! Só me lembro de uma frase do filme náufrago: continue respirando nunca se sabe o que a maré poderá trazer.
Would love to hear your reaction to Papa Roach’s latest song Leave The Light On. A great song of hope for those struggling.
When I took electric guitar lessons as a teenager my guitar teacher Jack wanted me to learn this song.
therapists always say we know what you feel realy you don't, after my deadly motorcycle accident all i hear is we feel the pain the struggle to survive i don't think so. i'm sick of it
have you reacted to falling in reverse's cover of last resort? sooo good
I'm new here so I browsed for any FIR songs but couldnt find one😢 I mean atleast the LR one that was actually commissioned by PR for their anniversary.
Fun fact. Jacoby wrote this song inspired by a friend of his who attempted suicide (it’s actually not about Jacoby himself). His friend is alive and in a good place now.
And I'm back to my teens for a moment.
You should check out the cover of this song from Falling In Reverse "last resort reimagined" in Jacoby's words he said ronnie nailed the real emotional meaning of the song
You have to dig into Wage War. A few of my favorite tracks, Stitch, Don't Let Me Fade Away, High Horse among many more.
Nu metal saved my life, i was put in a psychic hospital and i was being watch all the time by guards if i did something bad like self harm. If anyone has those thoughts, please call someone. Talk about it. God bless
Where do you get this uncencored version?? Me want it..!!
DO the song Fire Away by Chris Stapleton, perfect for this channel
I would love to see you do a breakdown video of
Popular Monster and Voice's in my Head by Falling in Reverse
Also most songs by Citizen Soldier good to react to
You've got to do the new Nothing More song If It Doesn't Hurt
He is right about it being selfish to commit suicide. Because it brings all this pain onto the people in your life. When your the one having these thoughts and struggling you look out and see and all you see is the ones you love hurt because that’s what you mind makes you see. So to keep from hurting them if you are no longer around they won’t hurt because you believe you’re the one hurting them. I have been in this position more times in my life than I want to admit and honestly if not for my kids I would have done it but I know I have to be there for them to protect them. I also have had to watch my teen go through this and had to take him to the hospital and he was committed for a week and it broke my heart cause I know how hard life is and scary these thoughts are.
I can't describe my anger at the "radio edit" of this song. It's a rallying cry to those who are at thier last resort, it tells them they are not alone that someone understands. How DARE some radio censor or pearl clutching republican try to hide that from those who need it
Take a look at avenged sevenfold song: I won’t see you tonight (part 1)….that song really gets into the mindset…but might make you cry :-(
I have two Song Recommendations for reaction “Ghost” by Badflower and “Suicide Letter” by Skippy, both have really strong meanings
keep up the amazing work. more papa roach is definitely needed - infest, between angels and insects, broken home, dead cell, blood brothers, born with nothing die with everything, getting away with murder, scars, to be loved, alive(n' out of control), forever, hollywood whore, i almost told you that i loved you, lifeline, burn, kick in the teeth, still swingin', where did the angels go, wish you never met me, give me back my life, leader of the broken hearts, face everything and rise, falling apart, gravity, crooked teeth, my medication, born for greatness, american dreams, help, none of the above, you're not the only one, who do you trust?, elevate, come around, kill the noise
Song recommendation: Strapping Young Lad - Detox
You need to delve into Nightwish. Such meaning in their lyrics. To start I recommend Storytime by Nightwish ( live cut from Wacken Open Air 2013).
Need listen to scars by papa roach and daughtry
You should also check out gravity and getting away with murder by papa roach I wonder what your thoughts are on those songs
You really need to go down the rabbit hole with papa roach. Id suggest scars be the next one for sure
You NEED to do Jeris Johnson feat BOI WHAT - Battling My Demons 😁
You should react to the falling in reverse cover of this
You should do the new Landmvrks- Creature
The video for the song inspired Demons by Imagine Dragons
Also a good song(s) theory of a dead man’s song medicate (rx song). Also “by the way” by theory of a dead man
Would love to hear you react to:
Godsmack- Keep away
Godsmack- Whatever
Deftones- Change ( In the house of flies)
Staind- Mudshovel
Alice in Chains- Nutshell ( MTV Live)
Korn- Thoughtless
Breaking Benjamin - The Diary of Jane
it's not metal, but you might want to check out Rise Against - Make it Stop (September's Children). It's a really heavy song but has a powerful message.
Would like to hear your interpretation of Falling In Reverse’s version.
Here are a couple other songs around the same situation as last resort. Avenged sevenfold’s victim and fiction and mudvayne’s IMN
I had a very rough experience decades back when my first girlfriend broke up with me.
I turned to the bottle for a short period of time and during one of my binges, I ended up in a very dark place- I'll spare you the details, as I don't want to challenge the community guidlines.
After a few hours, a surge af anger overwhelmed me, I stood up screaming "F* this! I'll never do it- for noone!".
It took me 15 years to taste alcohol again and I composed a song for the matter, which functioned as a catalyst to accept the siuation and move on.
I am curious about your take on the matter.... can an emotion, usually seen as a negative one, be actually beneficial?
To me, it resembles the controlled burning used to control wildfires. Succumb in a healthy way, so to speak.
Honestly though, if not for the music, I don't know where I'd be right now, or if I would be at all...
Alice In Chains ~ Dirt “super dark song”
Alice In Chains ~ Sickman
Alice In Chains ~ Nutshell
Taproot ~ Poem
A Pale Horse Named Death ~ Die Alone “freaking awesome song”
You know it’s funny I was told in the past that they were shocked I havnt committed suicide after everything I have been through and the lost of two major people in my life and I told them I have been on the brink of that so many times for so long that I could never do it cuz I couldn’t leave my grandma alone even tho I feel like I’m a burden to her other than her now I literally have no one but myself
You should do hush by hellyeah
this is incredibly difficult for me to listen to, because the song triggers trauma of abuse, but I'm still listening to this video, kind of in hope of understanding why they did what they did, this was one of their favourite songs, along with in the end by linkin park (which I also just watched)
I never even really realized what this song was about, because all I could associate it with is trauma (and also probably because I am not a native speaker), but listening to this reaction I wonder if what they related to within this song affected why
