Which song means the most to each of you individually? Personally I love Say Nothing and World Keeps Spinning as the singles. I love your more pop direction as much as your rock direction. Keep at it! Also, which was the first song you've written for the record?
This song and History of Violence are pure gold. Unique and Truth in music is what makes music amazing. Theory of Deadman are straight up GOATS 🐐 23 years old and this music can relate with anyone’s true reality.
@@SportfanisCOD They are truly amazing. But even if every one of their other songs sucked or were unrelatable, this video and song would still be my favorite, If nothing else from them. This song is beautifully, tragically pin point exact.
This song has described my life the past few months. This too shall pass. To anyone going through hard times, stay strong and stay blessed. You’re not alone.
Facts, I lost my mom 1/31/2020.... needed to hear this when it came out. My step dad family is all I have left besides my wife and kids. And not a single one said a thing to me not even my own stepdad who raised me since I was 2.
Cant wait to see you in concert, remember next time you're mean to someone, maybe they are going through stuff. Treat people like you want to be treated.
This is exactly how I felt after I got back from Afghanistan. It’s like a time capsule for people “welcome home” but it’s not your home any more. Everyone changed, but they say it was you.
This busted right through my chest. I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you for all that you've given and sacrificed. *I will never forget!*
Thank you for your service, much appreciated, and I'm sorry the pain you had to go through, and I know what a painful road it is to be on, but thank you for all you have done for this country and defending my freedom and the freedom of this country
I hear ya brother. I joined the army when I was 19. My grandfather was in Vietnam and Korea I know the look of someone who has seen some shit. Saw alot of my brothers come back not the same... I'm glad you made it back dude... well part of you anyway
“World Keeps Spinning” Lyrics: [Verse 1] Why I always gotta be afraid? Yeah, I'm sick of all the stomach aches Always dizzy, haven't eaten nothing Always sleeping, haven't seen nobody Out here living in the Wild West A lack of confidence is when I'm at my best I'm just a burnout trying to fade away Like a moth drawn to the flame They talking shit, ain't quick enough to block it, no I'm getting hit, fallin' down, so I'm staying low I feel it's all for nothing, I'm feeling all alone That voice is saying something, it's saying, "Welcome home" [Chorus] I miss my mom, I miss my friends I miss it all, but in the end Woah, the world keeps spinning Woah, the world keeps spinning I'm feeling lost, I'm feeling dead I feel it's all maybe in my head Woah, the world keeps spinning Woah, the world keeps spinning [Verse 2] Body's aching from all the stress (All the stress) Yeah, I'm dead inside, my skin a mess (My skin a mess) One on one, I can hold my own But I'm out here fighting like I'm Al Capone Gonna sell it like it's end of days (End of days) My mama telling me it's just a phase (It's just a phase) I don't know what to do, yeah, I just want to scream I don't mean shit to you, I ain't a human being [Chorus] I miss my mom, I miss my friends I miss it all, but in the end Woah, the world keeps spinning Woah, the world keeps spinning I'm feeling lost, I'm feeling dead I feel it's all maybe in my head Woah, the world keeps spinning Woah, the world keeps spinning [Verse 3] Home alone is when I hurt the most Floating through life like a fucking ghost I ain't stupid, I can be who I wanna be I ain't blind, I can see what you do to me There's no plan that I can't oversee I feel that no one got a fucking brain Monkey see, monkey do, monkey me, monkey you Monkey see, monkey do, monkey me, monkey you [Chorus] I miss my mom, I miss my friends I miss it all, but in the end Woah, the world keeps spinning Woah, the world keeps spinning I'm feeling lost, I'm feeling dead I feel it's all maybe in my head Woah, the world keeps spinning Woah, the world keeps spinning
I love the clash I hope their newer albums will sound like this I would also like if. They do an album where they songs in their older style and songs in their newer style
Thank you Theory. I think about "it" on a daily. I lost my parents six months apart and am estranged from my only sibling. My daughter is why "my world keeps spinning" and individuals coming together like you guys.
@@RodrigoRenzo my impression is you ARE being genuine... after reading response. I'm struggling harder than I thought I EVER would. It's trauma and I cannot get a grip. Everyone is pretty shitty like trying to say that I am not the "only one who has problems" and the gist of it all is nobody gives a single solitary fuck. So I am thankful and crying very hard now Rodrigo. I HAVE NOBODY FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME and CONDITIONS ARE EXTREMELY OUT OF THE ORDINARY.
@@lauralakely3114 I wouldn't take your time with a long answer, and I orefere beeing objective: Hooponopono saved my life. I hope is does something for you. Start by reading Zero Limit from Joe Vitale.
@@@@@Theory; I'm in the military. This song reminds me of every time I would return home from a deployment. 4 deployments in 6 yrs is bat shit crazy. What I realized is I live in the past b/c I could never keep up. When you leave for a long time, 18 -22 months at a time the world keeps moving and when you return you can't catch up. Great song Thank you!!!
My dad committed suicide last week, and it hurts so much.. He was my boss, mentor and friend. We talked everyday. He begged for help. And I tried everything, I tried getting him counseling, talking, everything. But nothing helped. My dad left his wife, and 5 other kids. I miss him everyday. It's never the answer... please get help!
Man I can't imagine how you are you feeling. Just dropping some love your way. I survived a suicide attempt from 2007. It wasn't planned. Something came over me very sudden. Someone found me called 911. I've went through years of therapy. Irony spent last 10yrs fight cancer to stay alive. Life is really something. It's tragic as there is really nothing you can do. It's the worst feeling to feel you don't belong in this world anymore. Yet I can only imagine the way it's left you all to feel. I'm so very sorry for your loss. Suicide seems to be on the rise. I'm glad to see so many bring attn to the awareness.
@@racerdude23 oh wow! What was his favorite song they did? I love so many but "Santa Monica" is so nice "takes me away" to a relaxing state of mind. I lost my dad Oct 3, 2019.. alot of unanswered questions. Went to ER on a Monday for stomach virus admitted for colon infection w/mild stool bleed. By Thur landed ICU in coma? Week later gone! Idk just no sense other than medical error. You take care. I would love to know the song if you know. I don't think they have a bad one. You keep on shining ☀️
@@susansimpson72 I am so sorry for your loss. And proud you made through your struggles. I wish my dad was.. His 2 favorite was Rx Medicate, and Santa Monica (mine also) and really liked the sun has set on me.
As many other veterans have commented, these lyrics hit so hard. I feel it to the bones. I served 01-05 in the middle east and have felt this way in my life so much. The song gives me hope that knowing someone else is speaking how I feel.
I swear this band sings to my life: I was bullied so much in school to the point I just want to vanish(The world keeps spinning). But I kept going, finished school and took a job but wasn’t happy (Santa monica) than I meet my husband and it was „all of nothing“ ❤️🤧 we even play that song on our weeding and have it engraved on our wedding rings Sorry if my English is weird
Pay attention to the story, two people on the brink of destruction unknowingly effecting each others life. The teacher realizing his teaching isn't all for nothing, the student seeing a glimmer of hope. The effects people can have on you are incredible. Some can take away all hope, some can make is seem worthwhile.
I just listened to this song 3 times in a row. Cried 3 times... Never did I want to hurt myself, but I truly understand this story. Thanks for opening my eyes again.
I love the “feeling” that this song gives me! It makes me remember a time in my life when things were easier….the world made more sense….and people seemed happier and nicer! I SO WISH WE ALL COULD GO BACK TO THOSE DAYS…… But like the song says, “The world 🌎 keeps spinning…..”
Saw Theory in February just before the world changed. I saw them in a small venue. It was the 4th time I have seen them live. It was a tremendous show. I cannot believe how much Theory have grown as a band.
This song is really heartfelt and down to earth. I am amazed about the beautiful sad stories you lovely people have shared here in the comments. There is nothing wrong in feeling lonely sometimes but always look after yourselves and loved ones, help is in places you least expect. Sharing my love to you all ❤
44 years and there's not a single day that I haven't contemplated my death in one way or another. While I might not believe I am worthy of Love, I still know that I am loved. I'm still here. Not for myself, but for those I love the most. Suicide is the most selfish act anyone can perform towards a loved one. It takes everything from them and gives them nothing but pain, regret, and depression in return. I'm not going to say "It will get better" because it more than likely won't. But I will say that there is NOTHING we cannot survive and push ourselves through, if we are determined to be the best we can, for those we love.
This song makes me think about my son who left Idaho as a kid of 21 and went to North Dakota to work on the oil rigs. He took his car and a sleeping bag. We sure went thru growing pains, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. The opportunity for him was amazing. Over 100k a yr, for 5 yrs+ while all his friends couldn’t hack it he became a man and will have life long friends from working in the patch. I love him dearly. I have so much respect for those who work in those conditions. #realmen
This song is so good. I get watering eye's when he says "I miss my mom, I miss my dad" one of my favorite songs of all time. Thanks theory of a Deadman. looking forward to seeing you in concert again!
It's a battle everyday, it helps to know that we aren't in the fight alone even when it feels like it sometimes. We have lost so many beautiful talented people leading a "dream" life. It's time everyone understands how daunting depression is and that status, fame, and fortune doesn't mean squat. Get help if u need/want it please. I (We) don't want anymore funerals to go to, especially preventable ones.
Perfectly describes my struggles with depression and suicidal tendencies/thoughts, it so fuckin tough to move day to day, seeing the news, watching your entire life fall apart bit by bit, it hurts, but im still truckin, one day at a time
This song helps me soooo much. I love you guys so much. I've battled depression and suicide for so long now that I feel so numb. But this song helps to control it, somehow.....
@Clay Sigurdson thanks Clay and honestly I would like to let you know that your prayers were answered... I was planning on coming to ends this weekend but I held back those thoughts and feelings... God bless you.
@@proculusjulius7035 no doubt ✌️ just like you 🤟 did you see my tattoo ⬅️ it has Chester under the Logo. L/P & Chester saved my life! Esp through a divorce. Then anger, fighting cancer, good times, depression, the just because! I remember how I found out he passed. I woke up 7/20/17 very upset went to UA-cam my medicine "Linkin Park & that day the song was Papercut" but I seen Linkin Park lead singer dead. I was furious over such a horrible prank but then I stop & I thought of Chester. I know "I'm an addict in recovery and a suicide attempt survivor from 07" someone had found me & called a ambulance. So I knew that guy who was so happy and shined to the world, how he was hurting inside as well he would talk about it. I go to Google. ..I was 🙏 that at his date of birth behind it would not be that dash with a date of death and let me tell you..IDGAF what no one says he took a part of me with him ... I haven't had many people be 💯 "not leave" but no matter what that music was there! 💖 Layne with AIC & Mad Season really helped during drug addiction and to get clean 11 years & 3 months now. So when I say I get you I swear I do. Love to you 🤟🥊
@@proculusjulius7035 oh wow your comment to Clay I just seen 😳😳 yeah don't give up man. I know it's hard. Trust me each day is different..it will pass. Keep being strong 💪💕
Man I remember the first time hearing Theory Of a Deadman "Santa Monica" when the video hit. I was instantly a fan and I'm glad to still see them persevering they are a totally underrated band.😎🤘
Sometimes this needs to happen to individuals... you are not alone, im not alone... spread awareness, suicide is never an option... What do you mean it's not an option? Slaps person in their face, Goddamnit suicide is never an option i said!!! Seriously, your life, even if you have no one and feel 100% alone is only temporary feelings... Sometimes to be able to change the world, you must change yourself...Amen
This video... is PERFECT (the videography, actors, the band, as is the music, and how the cuts go with the music, within the video), it's awesome (the message is timely, and needed), and very true (in the way the message was portrayed! As well as, I resonated with it myself, as someone with a declining neurological condition (probably Agent Orange birth defects from veteran parent)... which affects my brain, as well as my body. Being currently homeless, coming up 22 months, doesn't help, though I am constantly working to help myself, and my communities, via strictly online means, attempting to change the world from wherever I stay, am taken, go, or end up... and facing enemies because, well, I won't stop doing good, and that threatens a lot of socio/psychopaths, whom I oddly run into more than the average street girl, I believe! (What does that say about me?) Thugs, and my grown daughter (also in my position out here), protect me... best they can. I have a West Side mind, an East Side heart, and South Side manners, so, I wear bright pink most of the time, or black, or neon green, when I'm not in hiding, just to be safe, out here. Thanks for the inspiring video. Things like music help me a lot. Some of us have no possessions to speak of out here, except our phones (often just wifi-enabled devices). We don't have money. We can't go to see live music. But we can listen to it on our devices, anywhere we go. It gets us through long nights, it gets us putting one foot in front of the other, continuing on, especially if we don't want to, but have to. I'm 49 years old. I'll find Home again. So will my kid (23). If it wasn't for music, both of us would more than likely be dead already. "GREAT JOB!" TO EVERYONE WHO WORKED ON THIS VIDEO!! I, personally, LOVE IT! LOTS OF HEART, LOTS OF INTELLIGENT MESSAGE... DELIVERED PERFECTLY.
Kind of spooky the lyrics in this one released before shortly before the COVID 19 outbreak!!! Great song, powerful message like so many in this bands collection
@particularbored6072 well it's true only if you didn't have a business and you want to die because of s year or 2 of lock out laws you are piss weak compared to others
I love this song. It resonates with me so much; see my son is in prison for a yr. And I wrote the lyrics down for him. Your a hero. We love you. Thank you for touching our lives from Arkansas. Come soon. Thanks with love, peace and happiness.
I'm up North in the oilfield in the winters and this is exactly how it always feels. I've walked away from everything that I've ever loved, and it's been hard. Definitely feel like Al Capone taking on the world sometimes.
This is exactly how depression feels and it's horrible, this song sums it up basically what allot of us have to deal with it's a constant battle against ourselves, but please seek help it really helps, your life is so precious , please stay safe everyone
for some reason, your music speaks to me. Always has. The nearest show to me is Cleveland, but for a handicapped guy, its kinda far to travel. Keep doing what you guys do, and Theory (of a Dead Man) will continue to help folks like me.
The end of the video shows how one act of kindness can work for healing both ways. His teacher felt good for the student, which helped him. The student felt confidence after getting the mark from the teacher. Be kind always...goes a very long way
Helping me break free from the mental and physical abuse my ex put me through.i just got the courage to leave 3 weeks ago and my mind and my heart are at war music brings me peace
I'm sorry for what you went through, and so proud of you that you got out of that situation. Your whole life is ahead of you, and I pray that you see all the good and beautiful things that are waiting for you.
I love this song. I have probably listened to it a dozen times in the last couple days. It resonates how I feel right now. As a disabled veteran I can't work anymore and I miss how I had something I loved which was serving and it was taken from me. But somehow the world keeps spinning. I just hope things get better soon.
Yup the world is going to go on. Hope you have found something new to dedicate yourself to. You can still serve even if you don't have a uniform on. If things aren't getting better don't be dumb enough not to reach out.
This song hits me hard. This year has nearly broken me. But this gives me hope that next year will be the year everything gets better for everyone on this planet.
Who else can empathize with every single f***in part of the song and video? From losing everyone to suicide to wanting to kill the bullies to a teacher that cares. Damn theory stop reading my mind......
Have never seen this video and have always loved this song and the twist at the end got me. I'm a recovering addict/alcoholic and was active for over 18 years and I was floating through life like a ghost. Hell I was a ghost. I'm 4 years clean but everyday is a fight. Some days worse than others and I have horrible tinnitus and at the start of the ringing 2 years ago I didn't know how I was gonna make it through it. I shut down for almost a month and did not want to deal with any of it anymore but as bad as things can be I love being on this planet and im not ready to leave just yet so that ending was perfect. When you know the teacher is going through it too and has been through it, it makes it much easier to talk
This song speaks to me. The world is a crazy place, things don't always make sense. I'll never forget my family/friends that have passed away (good memories last forever)
These guys keep putting out good music. Not too many bands still do that. I cant wait for them to be in Mobile at the Soul Kitchen. I most definitely need 2 tickets!
Seen Theory live here on the east coast. Best live performance out of the 100+ concerts I've been to. Can't recommend them enough. GO SEE THEM LIVE! You won't regret a second of it.
THEORY this song absolutely brings sadness to me because I get emotional alot this song completely helped me. I keep replaying this to give me some relief from getting angry
I think they really knocked it out the park with these 3 songs, world keeps spinning, history of violence and RX. These songs tell such a story and really shows how they have grown musically and how the world has become in the last 5-7 years in my opinion
Damn this song hit's me hard right now. This has been my experience for 20+ years of my life and right now is an exceptionally hard time. I never heard a song hit the nail on the head like this.
I love you guys so much my 1st experience was our last X-Fest.. They could never top that one.. I asked Tyler could I touch his hand Maaannn! This song hits hard for me #fanforever 💞
Just a awesome song 👌 I'm sure this will hit home for many 😞 But I'm sure it will make some take life head-on and keep kicking 👍💪 Keep rockn T.O.A.D. 🤘😎🤘
Great album guys! I personally don't LOVE the direction you guys are taking but, you guys have been my favorite band for 15 years and I will follow you guys to hell and back 🤘🤘🤘🤘
This song speaks to me. I have anxiety sometimes because of my Asperger's Syndrome. And just about the only thing that helps me is music and you guys. Loved how you guys embraced the nickname us fans gave you. Thanks for finally using the nickname us fans gave you. I have been meaning to say that.
@Robert McGuire Things get better. Just hang in there. Take things slow. And if you're in college just make sure to take breaks in between homework and studying. I'm not in college so I can't give the best advice but I think my advice is good.
Thank you for your lirycs, thank you for your music. Love it. Thanks for lighting such a huge problem like suiside or school shooting. Keep doing, that you doing. Keep helping people even through music. Hope it will help peoples who need it.
This song reflects on how much I have been craving for companionship since I got out of high school and become a college student. Despite how successful I am, some my old friends wouldn’t call or Facebook message me back. Especially my old buddy Dylan, who lives in San Diego, did not inform me about canceling our Casino trip due to his sister’s wedding in Hawaii. He did apologize soon after the argument. But I am still pissed about it despite of telling to chill out. I don’t deserve to be treated like this! Since then, I have been picky on people who are whether or not they’re at my age to hang out with. Part of me felt more like a teen kid at heart while I’m currently in my late 20’s. Whether they are cool-looking, passionate about movies & sports, or being famous, those are the kind of people I like to hang out with. But being picky is not a Healthy thing cause I ended up beating my head so hard til it bleeds. Thanks for making my day THEORY!🙏 This music video did help bring to light.
Aint that the truth. Everyone i know, everyone i thought i knew, only 2 have been around since graduation. The rest, disappeared. Most recently I had another disappear. I know they read the messages but ignore. Im not going to try. They will message back if they care enough.
I feel this man. Im 20 already in my career field and going to college both full time yet I can't seem to have friends that have my back because they rather not bother.
I get you there man. Been the case for me my whole life. The problem I grew up with all seem to have disappeared. It started to slip away slowly and now there's nothing. I send the odd message out to a few of them still here and there but its rare that I ever hear anything back from them, usually just being left on read if they bother at all that is. It's a lonely world that's the sad truth.
You're going to make new friends. Things that happened in the past... Those relationships were based on the person that you used to be. People are comfortable with you if you never improve... Once you change your life for the better it shines a light on other people's lives and they don't really want to see that. So like cockroaches they will scatter when the light hits
First time I really listened to this song was in the car the night of my friends funeral. He was 35 and in my improv troupe. only got to perform with him once but didn't after that because I let my demons tell me I wasn't good anymore and not worth it. He was always trying to get me to go back through positive comments and imaging on messenger because I became I recluse and didn't leave my apartment for months except for fast food after I lost my job. He tried and tried while fighting his own demons. He drank a lot and didn't take care of himself so he developed a heart problem that killed him within months of being diagnosed. I thought I knew him, as arrogant as I was, having only talked to him a few times. But at his funeral, I learned how incredible he was. He was smart. And I mean smart like PhD in science smart. He sang baritone in a nationally recognized chorus. He was a good friend to those who would let him in. But he never talked about himself. Never bragged. Just lifted others up, although he himself felt low. I realized all too late in that car, that I missed out on what could have been a beautiful friendship that would've taught me a lot, I could've been a friend to him as well. I realized too, that as far as greatness and self sabotage, we were similar in that we squandered our potential to our inner demons and self doubt. Most importantly, I realized his journey was over. He never got that chance to change it, to become that giant that he was to more people. Not that he wanted notoriety, but he could've had it, had the world known about how great he truly was. And it circled back to me, driving in my car on a dark freeway alone, really listening to this song as something other than background noise, that I began to understand one important thing, I have to keep moving. I've wasted a lot of time being afraid to take chances, and my time isn't limitless. After a year or two of watching my family falter and succumb to drug abuse, alcoholism, depression, debt, sexual abuse, they froze in place and I froze too, afraid to move on with my life because I didn't want to leave them behind. But the world keeps spinning, always, no matter what. Even if everyone around you gets stuck in their misery, time moves on. I wasted a lot of time trying to help people who didn't want to help themselves. A lot of time feeling sorry for myself. But in the end, I felt like I woke up, two years later, with that horrible realization, time had left me behind too. Suddenly, after hearing this song, I saw forward for the first time in years, and thought about what's next. As painful as it was, I realized my future needed to be carved out now, alone. While I still have time.
Both my parents are gone, my family dont speak to me, im the black sheep. Ive been physically, emotionally and sexually abused by those i love. I can so relate to this song. The pain is almost unbearable. But, despite all this, the world keeps spinning, and, im still here trying to figure out why. Why am i still here.
With the exception of sexual abuse, I can relate. I have been broken down so many times over that I don't know how I can still want to love and be loved. The worst part is having this done to me by my supposed friends and family and then when I call them out on it, they turn EVERYTHING around on me and all that emotional pain is felt over again. I hate to use the term emotional rape to describe it, but that's the only way I can. And God forbid if I cry or show too much sadness for what I have to endure and have endured, because then something's wrong with "ME"?................... yeah the problem is no support or love shown (to me or for me) at all and just like you I wonder why the hell am I even here (why was I even born)????? I just wanted you know you aren't ALONE
U can come to me n hangout or the wording is accurate way to phrase things,its okay to cry nothing wrong that at all...hugs/appreciate,know that I myself have a good heart n I do care n love others,yes i loveyou n I am concerned ,friends aren't always good or necessary, that would fill in gaps or make u feel complete...stepping stones,your going to go through emotions u may bit quite understand what they are fully,it sometimes takes awhile to comprehend what your feeling or what tour mind n body are coping with and trying to cope with,life is very strange times,many things have changed in the world even over the last few yrs,
THEORY really hits topic's that are serious and brings them to the surface through their songs/music....and helps the rest of us understand. #WORLDisaSHITTYplace #learn2beKIND #survive
Ask us anything! We'll be answering questions tomorrow, leading up to the premiere.
Which song means the most to each of you individually? Personally I love Say Nothing and World Keeps Spinning as the singles. I love your more pop direction as much as your rock direction. Keep at it! Also, which was the first song you've written for the record?
@@Stingcolony they said ask tomorrow 🤣
Danny broad they said they're answering tomorrow
@@Stingcolony ok my bad sorry lol
When will you be Theory of a Deadman again? Also when are you coming to India?
This is hands down, no internet pop seeking, my favorite song. I'm 37yrs old and I've heard all kinds of music. This song is perfect, to me.
I agree 👍
This song and History of Violence are pure gold. Unique and Truth in music is what makes music amazing. Theory of Deadman are straight up GOATS 🐐 23 years old and this music can relate with anyone’s true reality.
Feel this song was literally ripped from my head.
@@chrislastname1994 Right?
@@SportfanisCOD They are truly amazing. But even if every one of their other songs sucked or were unrelatable, this video and song would still be my favorite, If nothing else from them.
This song is beautifully, tragically pin point exact.
This song has described my life the past few months. This too shall pass. To anyone going through hard times, stay strong and stay blessed. You’re not alone.
Feel like a ghost in a world of fleshlings just my feeling though
Try years for me lol but still here
haven't seen my mom and my friends for 7 years now, I don't know how I'm still standing
my mom died 10-02-22 so idk how im still standing either but i am still here
It amazes me how a song comes out right when you need it..
Thank-you for putting such beautiful, heart-felt music into this world.
Tell me about it. My dad took his life 2 weeks ago today. And I watched the release of this song this morning. Its something I needed to see today.
My EXACT, CAN'T SAY IT ENOUGH, EXACT THOUGHT, Thank you God!!! You really do save lives Jesus...Amen

Facts, I lost my mom 1/31/2020.... needed to hear this when it came out. My step dad family is all I have left besides my wife and kids. And not a single one said a thing to me not even my own stepdad who raised me since I was 2.
Cant wait to see you in concert, remember next time you're mean to someone, maybe they are going through stuff. Treat people like you want to be treated.
This is exactly how I felt after I got back from Afghanistan. It’s like a time capsule for people “welcome home” but it’s not your home any more. Everyone changed, but they say it was you.
This busted right through my chest. I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you for all that you've given and sacrificed. *I will never forget!*
Thank you for your service and sacrifice for our country 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you for your service, much appreciated, and I'm sorry the pain you had to go through, and I know what a painful road it is to be on, but thank you for all you have done for this country and defending my freedom and the freedom of this country
I hear ya brother. I joined the army when I was 19. My grandfather was in Vietnam and Korea I know the look of someone who has seen some shit. Saw alot of my brothers come back not the same... I'm glad you made it back dude... well part of you anyway
Thank you for your service chin up boss
“World Keeps Spinning”
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Why I always gotta be afraid?
Yeah, I'm sick of all the stomach aches
Always dizzy, haven't eaten nothing
Always sleeping, haven't seen nobody
Out here living in the Wild West
A lack of confidence is when I'm at my best
I'm just a burnout trying to fade away
Like a moth drawn to the flame
They talking shit, ain't quick enough to block it, no
I'm getting hit, fallin' down, so I'm staying low
I feel it's all for nothing, I'm feeling all alone
That voice is saying something, it's saying, "Welcome home"
[Chorus]
I miss my mom, I miss my friends
I miss it all, but in the end
Woah, the world keeps spinning
Woah, the world keeps spinning
I'm feeling lost, I'm feeling dead
I feel it's all maybe in my head
Woah, the world keeps spinning
Woah, the world keeps spinning
[Verse 2]
Body's aching from all the stress (All the stress)
Yeah, I'm dead inside, my skin a mess (My skin a mess)
One on one, I can hold my own
But I'm out here fighting like I'm Al Capone
Gonna sell it like it's end of days (End of days)
My mama telling me it's just a phase (It's just a phase)
I don't know what to do, yeah, I just want to scream
I don't mean shit to you, I ain't a human being
[Chorus]
I miss my mom, I miss my friends
I miss it all, but in the end
Woah, the world keeps spinning
Woah, the world keeps spinning
I'm feeling lost, I'm feeling dead
I feel it's all maybe in my head
Woah, the world keeps spinning
Woah, the world keeps spinning
[Verse 3]
Home alone is when I hurt the most
Floating through life like a fucking ghost
I ain't stupid, I can be who I wanna be
I ain't blind, I can see what you do to me
There's no plan that I can't oversee
I feel that no one got a fucking brain
Monkey see, monkey do, monkey me, monkey you
Monkey see, monkey do, monkey me, monkey you
[Chorus]
I miss my mom, I miss my friends
I miss it all, but in the end
Woah, the world keeps spinning
Woah, the world keeps spinning
I'm feeling lost, I'm feeling dead
I feel it's all maybe in my head
Woah, the world keeps spinning
Woah, the world keeps spinning
I'm to damn old to be so cold
I miss my mama
crobot
Thanks!
Gracias por las letras
Okay sounding more like OLD THEORY and little new - loving it ! 🥰
Yeah thats right
I love the clash I hope their newer albums will sound like this I would also like if. They do an album where they songs in their older style and songs in their newer style
I'm back againahhhh.... Lol it was the song and you! Lol 😍
As a combat veteran, this is a great song that many can relate to. Well done, guys...
Thank you Theory. I think about "it" on a daily. I lost my parents six months apart and am estranged from my only sibling. My daughter is why "my world keeps spinning" and individuals coming together like you guys.
Everyone is fighting their own battles, hold my hand.
@@RodrigoRenzo Are u being insensitive or what? Those thoughts are constantly there and I literally don't have a hand to hold. I'm trying dude.
@@lauralakely3114 I don't think you understood what I've said, in a nutshell I've said: you're not alone in your suffering, count on me
@@RodrigoRenzo my impression is you ARE being genuine... after reading response. I'm struggling harder than I thought I EVER would. It's trauma and I cannot get a grip. Everyone is pretty shitty like trying to say that I am not the "only one who has problems" and the gist of it all is nobody gives a single solitary fuck. So I am thankful and crying very hard now Rodrigo. I HAVE NOBODY FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME and CONDITIONS ARE EXTREMELY OUT OF THE ORDINARY.
@@lauralakely3114 I wouldn't take your time with a long answer, and I orefere beeing objective: Hooponopono saved my life. I hope is does something for you. Start by reading Zero Limit from Joe Vitale.
@@@@@Theory; I'm in the military. This song reminds me of every time I would return home from a deployment. 4 deployments in 6 yrs is bat shit crazy. What I realized is I live in the past b/c I could never keep up. When you leave for a long time, 18 -22 months at a time the world keeps moving and when you return you can't catch up. Great song Thank you!!!
Thank you for your service! God bless you!
@@renaebrown8897 thank you 26.5 done and retired now!! 😀
My dad committed suicide last week, and it hurts so much..
He was my boss, mentor and friend.
We talked everyday. He begged for help. And I tried everything, I tried getting him counseling, talking, everything. But nothing helped.
My dad left his wife, and 5 other kids. I miss him everyday.
It's never the answer... please get help!
Man I can't imagine how you are you feeling. Just dropping some love your way. I survived a suicide attempt from 2007. It wasn't planned. Something came over me very sudden. Someone found me called 911. I've went through years of therapy. Irony spent last 10yrs fight cancer to stay alive. Life is really something. It's tragic as there is really nothing you can do. It's the worst feeling to feel you don't belong in this world anymore. Yet I can only imagine the way it's left you all to feel. I'm so very sorry for your loss. Suicide seems to be on the rise. I'm glad to see so many bring attn to the awareness.
This was also my dad's favorite band. So this is even more meaningful!
Thank u for saying it's never the answer. I have a daughter and I don't want her to hurt. Sometimes I wonder which would be worse for her.
@@racerdude23 oh wow! What was his favorite song they did? I love so many but "Santa Monica" is so nice "takes me away" to a relaxing state of mind. I lost my dad Oct 3, 2019.. alot of unanswered questions. Went to ER on a Monday for stomach virus admitted for colon infection w/mild stool bleed. By Thur landed ICU in coma? Week later gone! Idk just no sense other than medical error. You take care. I would love to know the song if you know. I don't think they have a bad one. You keep on shining ☀️
@@susansimpson72 I am so sorry for your loss. And proud you made through your struggles. I wish my dad was..
His 2 favorite was Rx Medicate, and Santa Monica (mine also) and really liked the sun has set on me.
As many other veterans have commented, these lyrics hit so hard. I feel it to the bones. I served 01-05 in the middle east and have felt this way in my life so much. The song gives me hope that knowing someone else is speaking how I feel.
Thank you for your service I hope you find peace
I swear this band sings to my life: I was bullied so much in school to the point I just want to vanish(The world keeps spinning). But I kept going, finished school and took a job but wasn’t happy (Santa monica) than I meet my husband and it was „all of nothing“ ❤️🤧 we even play that song on our weeding and have it engraved on our wedding rings
Sorry if my English is weird
Pay attention to the story, two people on the brink of destruction unknowingly effecting each others life. The teacher realizing his teaching isn't all for nothing, the student seeing a glimmer of hope.
The effects people can have on you are incredible. Some can take away all hope, some can make is seem worthwhile.
I just listened to this song 3 times in a row. Cried 3 times... Never did I want to hurt myself, but I truly understand this story. Thanks for opening my eyes again.
I love the “feeling” that this song gives me! It makes me remember a time in my life when things were easier….the world made more sense….and people seemed happier and nicer!
I SO WISH WE ALL COULD GO BACK TO THOSE DAYS…… But like the song says, “The world 🌎 keeps spinning…..”
This video made my boyfriend tear up. I’ve only seen that happen a few times so this really hit hard. Great song, can’t stop listening.
I'm amazed what music does to our souls,a outlet to our deep pain,its a gift that just keeps gifting.I would be trapped in my own head without music!!
Saw Theory in February just before the world changed. I saw them in a small venue. It was the 4th time I have seen them live. It was a tremendous show. I cannot believe how much Theory have grown as a band.
Great band! We saw them at Mavericks in Feb just before the world changed.
"A lack of confidence is when I'm at my best"🖤
Theory always making music that mirrors my emotions
This song is really heartfelt and down to earth. I am amazed about the beautiful sad stories you lovely people have shared here in the comments. There is nothing wrong in feeling lonely sometimes but always look after yourselves and loved ones, help is in places you least expect. Sharing my love to you all ❤
44 years and there's not a single day that I haven't contemplated my death in one way or another.
While I might not believe I am worthy of Love, I still know that I am loved.
I'm still here. Not for myself, but for those I love the most.
Suicide is the most selfish act anyone can perform towards a loved one.
It takes everything from them and gives them nothing but pain, regret, and depression in return.
I'm not going to say "It will get better" because it more than likely won't. But I will say that there is NOTHING we cannot survive and push ourselves through, if we are determined to be the best we can, for those we love.
Suicide isn't selfish, God and most of this world are the selfish ones not doing anything to help
The love of my children is the ONLY thing keeping me alive...I suffer so they wont
This song makes me think about my son who left Idaho as a kid of 21 and went to North Dakota to work on the oil rigs. He took his car and a sleeping bag. We sure went thru growing pains, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. The opportunity for him was amazing. Over 100k a yr, for 5 yrs+ while all his friends couldn’t hack it he became a
man and will have life long friends from working in the patch. I love him dearly. I have so much respect for those who work in those conditions. #realmen
Who else is still listening to this great song in 2024?? ❤
Best time to listen to it! It’s only getting shittier out here!!!!
Yup
Umm ..me
Me lol n my girlfriend 😅
Obviously people are gonna return to an amazing song.
This song is so good. I get watering eye's when he says "I miss my mom, I miss my dad" one of my favorite songs of all time. Thanks theory of a Deadman. looking forward to seeing you in concert again!
It's a battle everyday, it helps to know that we aren't in the fight alone even when it feels like it sometimes. We have lost so many beautiful talented people leading a "dream" life. It's time everyone understands how daunting depression is and that status, fame, and fortune doesn't mean squat. Get help if u need/want it please. I (We) don't want anymore funerals to go to, especially preventable ones.
Been listening to this song a lot the past year. But it really hit me after my dad passed away. I understand it a lot more since then.
I just heard this for the first time today. On the radio driving. BLOWN AWAY.
Excellent ✌
Perfectly describes my struggles with depression and suicidal tendencies/thoughts, it so fuckin tough to move day to day, seeing the news, watching your entire life fall apart bit by bit, it hurts, but im still truckin, one day at a time
Whoa. The World keeps spinning. But seriously these lyrics are my life.
This song hits places. People say they get it, but they dont get it.
Felt every word but , "floating through life like a fucking ghost" screamed the loudest for me
This song helps me soooo much. I love you guys so much. I've battled depression and suicide for so long now that I feel so numb. But this song helps to control it, somehow.....
Music has always helped me like that 🤟🥊
@Clay Sigurdson thanks Clay and honestly I would like to let you know that your prayers were answered... I was planning on coming to ends this weekend but I held back those thoughts and feelings... God bless you.
@@susansimpson72 it's refreshing to find someone who's just like me...
@@proculusjulius7035 no doubt ✌️ just like you 🤟 did you see my tattoo ⬅️ it has Chester under the Logo. L/P & Chester saved my life! Esp through a divorce. Then anger, fighting cancer, good times, depression, the just because! I remember how I found out he passed. I woke up 7/20/17 very upset went to UA-cam my medicine "Linkin Park & that day the song was Papercut" but I seen Linkin Park lead singer dead. I was furious over such a horrible prank but then I stop & I thought of Chester. I know "I'm an addict in recovery and a suicide attempt survivor from 07" someone had found me & called a ambulance. So I knew that guy who was so happy and shined to the world, how he was hurting inside as well he would talk about it. I go to Google. ..I was 🙏 that at his date of birth behind it would not be that dash with a date of death and let me tell you..IDGAF what no one says he took a part of me with him ... I haven't had many people be 💯 "not leave" but no matter what that music was there! 💖 Layne with AIC & Mad Season really helped during drug addiction and to get clean 11 years & 3 months now. So when I say I get you I swear I do. Love to you 🤟🥊
@@proculusjulius7035 oh wow your comment to Clay I just seen 😳😳 yeah don't give up man. I know it's hard. Trust me each day is different..it will pass. Keep being strong 💪💕
Been in a rut lately & this song has definitely helped me to identify the need for change. Always enjoy ur creativity as artists
In times of darkness you guys have always been there. Thank you for the positivity in your awesome music.
Man I remember the first time hearing Theory Of a Deadman "Santa Monica" when the video hit. I was instantly a fan and I'm glad to still see them persevering they are a totally underrated band.😎🤘
God is powerful and it not just in your head... 20 year Air Force vet and would love to talk
I’m actually crying because this hits hard
Had to stop myself from that.......
Sometimes this needs to happen to individuals... you are not alone, im not alone... spread awareness, suicide is never an option... What do you mean it's not an option? Slaps person in their face, Goddamnit suicide is never an option i said!!! Seriously, your life, even if you have no one and feel 100% alone is only temporary feelings... Sometimes to be able to change the world, you must change yourself...Amen
Yeah its really from my heart and soul
I’ve been diagnosed with postpartum depression. I have a past of trying to take my life as a teenager. Music helps me every day with depression.
Dean the guitarist from theory reached out to me
Going through a hard time losing my best friend. Idk why or how but this made me cry. Felt good to remember my brother. Thank you guys ❤
This video... is PERFECT (the videography, actors, the band, as is the music, and how the cuts go with the music, within the video), it's awesome (the message is timely, and needed), and very true (in the way the message was portrayed! As well as, I resonated with it myself, as someone with a declining neurological condition (probably Agent Orange birth defects from veteran parent)... which affects my brain, as well as my body. Being currently homeless, coming up 22 months, doesn't help, though I am constantly working to help myself, and my communities, via strictly online means, attempting to change the world from wherever I stay, am taken, go, or end up... and facing enemies because, well, I won't stop doing good, and that threatens a lot of socio/psychopaths, whom I oddly run into more than the average street girl, I believe! (What does that say about me?) Thugs, and my grown daughter (also in my position out here), protect me... best they can. I have a West Side mind, an East Side heart, and South Side manners, so, I wear bright pink most of the time, or black, or neon green, when I'm not in hiding, just to be safe, out here. Thanks for the inspiring video. Things like music help me a lot. Some of us have no possessions to speak of out here, except our phones (often just wifi-enabled devices). We don't have money. We can't go to see live music. But we can listen to it on our devices, anywhere we go. It gets us through long nights, it gets us putting one foot in front of the other, continuing on, especially if we don't want to, but have to. I'm 49 years old. I'll find Home again. So will my kid (23). If it wasn't for music, both of us would more than likely be dead already.
"GREAT JOB!" TO EVERYONE WHO WORKED ON THIS VIDEO!!
I, personally, LOVE IT!
LOTS OF HEART, LOTS OF INTELLIGENT MESSAGE... DELIVERED PERFECTLY.
Thank you for the highlight. My daughter thought it was *really* cool! Blessings, Everyone... 😏
Wish you the very best mate jesus loves you
one of those tunes that brings me to tears
Kind of spooky the lyrics in this one released before shortly before the COVID 19 outbreak!!! Great song, powerful message like so many in this bands collection
@Hope To The Weak Only? Mighty finite in your hypocritical words.
@particularbored6072 well it's true only if you didn't have a business and you want to die because of s year or 2 of lock out laws you are piss weak compared to others
I love this song. It resonates with me so much; see my son is in prison for a yr. And I wrote the lyrics down for him. Your a hero. We love you. Thank you for touching our lives from Arkansas. Come soon. Thanks with love, peace and happiness.
I've been in suicidal situation acouple times n made it through. Makes me appreciate great heartfelt music like this so much more. Thank you
This songs verifes that you have to live your life through all pain and confusion. Stay positive and strong bc life doesn't stop going
You guys are so underrated. You already should be leyends!
Amazing all! Peaceful song but with such a great power.
Love you. Keep singing pleasee!
My mother passed 14 days after this premiered and I'm just now hearing it thank you
I am sorry man I really feel you keep it together man this is life we wake up to fight don't lose it my condolences
Sorry for your lost. Please don’t be trolling. Not saying you are.
Condolences I know how you feel lost my mother as well. Keep being strong and brave.
⚡Sorry for ya troubles. Hope you find peace at this difficult time⚡
sorry for your loss
I'm up North in the oilfield in the winters and this is exactly how it always feels. I've walked away from everything that I've ever loved, and it's been hard. Definitely feel like Al Capone taking on the world sometimes.
What goes around comes around as they say in the oil patch in California. Hang in there and save your money.
This is exactly how depression feels and it's horrible, this song sums it up basically what allot of us have to deal with it's a constant battle against ourselves, but please seek help it really helps, your life is so precious , please stay safe everyone
for some reason, your music speaks to me. Always has. The nearest show to me is Cleveland, but for a handicapped guy, its kinda far to travel. Keep doing what you guys do, and Theory (of a Dead Man) will continue to help folks like me.
The end of the video shows how one act of kindness can work for healing both ways. His teacher felt good for the student, which helped him. The student felt confidence after getting the mark from the teacher.
Be kind always...goes a very long way
what did the note say? i cant read it at the end
Helping me break free from the mental and physical abuse my ex put me through.i just got the courage to leave 3 weeks ago and my mind and my heart are at war music brings me peace
I'm sorry for what you went through, and so proud of you that you got out of that situation. Your whole life is ahead of you, and I pray that you see all the good and beautiful things that are waiting for you.
Sorry to here that. I hope you would find someone who is better. 🙏
harley sicily how are you doing Harley? Hope all is well.
I love this song. I have probably listened to it a dozen times in the last couple days.
It resonates how I feel right now. As a disabled veteran I can't work anymore and I miss how I had something I loved which was serving and it was taken from me. But somehow the world keeps spinning.
I just hope things get better soon.
Yup the world is going to go on. Hope you have found something new to dedicate yourself to. You can still serve even if you don't have a uniform on. If things aren't getting better don't be dumb enough not to reach out.
"Going through life like a ghost" ain't that a truth.
This song hits me hard. This year has nearly broken me. But this gives me hope that next year will be the year everything gets better for everyone on this planet.
Who else can empathize with every single f***in part of the song and video? From losing everyone to suicide to wanting to kill the bullies to a teacher that cares. Damn theory stop reading my mind......
Nothing can be more perfect for this crazy year than this song.
i feel his pain every day and i have thought about it evry day
Same here pal
Yep.
Have never seen this video and have always loved this song and the twist at the end got me. I'm a recovering addict/alcoholic and was active for over 18 years and I was floating through life like a ghost. Hell I was a ghost. I'm 4 years clean but everyday is a fight. Some days worse than others and I have horrible tinnitus and at the start of the ringing 2 years ago I didn't know how I was gonna make it through it. I shut down for almost a month and did not want to deal with any of it anymore but as bad as things can be I love being on this planet and im not ready to leave just yet so that ending was perfect. When you know the teacher is going through it too and has been through it, it makes it much easier to talk
Such a powerful message!
This song speaks to me. The world is a crazy place, things don't always make sense. I'll never forget my family/friends that have passed away (good memories last forever)
These guys keep putting out good music. Not too many bands still do that. I cant wait for them to be in Mobile at the Soul Kitchen. I most definitely need 2 tickets!
Adam and Sully sing so good together they sound like each other love the way they do this song amazing
I wonder if these guys ever arrive anywhere. They're always driving around.
The journey is the destination
Same here but same here I don't know but I think they are
lmaoooo i was thinking the same thing the other day😂😂
At the end shows the 4 if them fist fighting over whos paying for burritos and fuel and whos riding shotgun
Whoa, the tires keep spinning. 🎶
Anxiety leads to depression which then leads to this amazing song from TOADM
This one hits so hard. Makes me feel like I'm not alone. Thank you for what you do. Sending love from Ohio ❤️
This song couldn't have come at a better time for me. Thank you guys so much.
Did we just become best friends 🥺🥰 ugh thank you! I hear you.
Another knock out amazing tune. Great reflecting going on here.
What a great music video! Great message, great twist. Keep em coming!
Seen Theory live here on the east coast. Best live performance out of the 100+ concerts I've been to. Can't recommend them enough. GO SEE THEM LIVE! You won't regret a second of it.
THEORY this song absolutely brings sadness to me because I get emotional alot this song completely helped me. I keep replaying this to give me some relief from getting angry
I love that Brian Burkheiser is in this and a group I grow up with this singing this, kinda makes me feel like a kid again
Is that Brian ??? It doesn't look like him.
I love y'all!!! I just thought you should know it!!! You guys hit it out the park everytime, I always look forward to see what you will do next!
I think they really knocked it out the park with these 3 songs, world keeps spinning, history of violence and RX. These songs tell such a story and really shows how they have grown musically and how the world has become in the last 5-7 years in my opinion
My new favorite band. Love this song
followed this bad for yrs i had the frst cd was hooked then now im 41 an still jamming them this band gets better with age
I thought about eating my gun once. Almost did it. This song hit home for me. I truly feel like I’m ghost floating through life.
Thank you guys for this song. It's been on repeat, lulling me to sleep for a while now...
3:20, what does the red writing at the top of the paper say i can barely read it
Damn this song hit's me hard right now. This has been my experience for 20+ years of my life and right now is an exceptionally hard time. I never heard a song hit the nail on the head like this.
I love you guys so much my 1st experience was our last X-Fest.. They could never top that one.. I asked Tyler could I touch his hand Maaannn! This song hits hard for me #fanforever 💞
Just saw them tonight and hearing this song live just resonates in the bones! Great outdoor show!
Just a awesome song 👌
I'm sure this will hit home for many 😞
But I'm sure it will make some take life head-on and keep kicking 👍💪
Keep rockn T.O.A.D.
🤘😎🤘
Addressing alot of things in a lost soul......
I hear you.......your worth it
Great album guys! I personally don't LOVE the direction you guys are taking but, you guys have been my favorite band for 15 years and I will follow you guys to hell and back 🤘🤘🤘🤘
👍
This song speaks to me. I have anxiety sometimes because of my Asperger's Syndrome. And just about the only thing that helps me is music and you guys. Loved how you guys embraced the nickname us fans gave you. Thanks for finally using the nickname us fans gave you. I have been meaning to say that.
@Robert McGuire Things get better. Just hang in there. Take things slow. And if you're in college just make sure to take breaks in between homework and studying. I'm not in college so I can't give the best advice but I think my advice is good.
I love Theory and how much this album means to people it reflects so much on everyday problems, well done Theory, I’ll love you forever ❤️❤️
Thank you for your lirycs, thank you for your music. Love it.
Thanks for lighting such a huge problem like suiside or school shooting. Keep doing, that you doing. Keep helping people even through music. Hope it will help peoples who need it.
This song reflects on how much I have been craving for companionship since I got out of high school and become a college student. Despite how successful I am, some my old friends wouldn’t call or Facebook message me back. Especially my old buddy Dylan, who lives in San Diego, did not inform me about canceling our Casino trip due to his sister’s wedding in Hawaii. He did apologize soon after the argument. But I am still pissed about it despite of telling to chill out. I don’t deserve to be treated like this!
Since then, I have been picky on people who are whether or not they’re at my age to hang out with. Part of me felt more like a teen kid at heart while I’m currently in my late 20’s. Whether they are cool-looking, passionate about movies & sports, or being famous, those are the kind of people I like to hang out with. But being picky is not a Healthy thing cause I ended up beating my head so hard til it bleeds.
Thanks for making my day THEORY!🙏 This music video did help bring to light.
Aint that the truth. Everyone i know, everyone i thought i knew, only 2 have been around since graduation. The rest, disappeared. Most recently I had another disappear. I know they read the messages but ignore. Im not going to try. They will message back if they care enough.
I feel this man. Im 20 already in my career field and going to college both full time yet I can't seem to have friends that have my back because they rather not bother.
I get you there man. Been the case for me my whole life. The problem I grew up with all seem to have disappeared. It started to slip away slowly and now there's nothing. I send the odd message out to a few of them still here and there but its rare that I ever hear anything back from them, usually just being left on read if they bother at all that is. It's a lonely world that's the sad truth.
I felt this....
You're going to make new friends. Things that happened in the past... Those relationships were based on the person that you used to be. People are comfortable with you if you never improve... Once you change your life for the better it shines a light on other people's lives and they don't really want to see that. So like cockroaches they will scatter when the light hits
Your music has kept me alive for past couple months. Thank you!!! Jeni r
does anyone know what the note says on the paper at the end?
First time I really listened to this song was in the car the night of my friends funeral. He was 35 and in my improv troupe. only got to perform with him once but didn't after that because I let my demons tell me I wasn't good anymore and not worth it. He was always trying to get me to go back through positive comments and imaging on messenger because I became I recluse and didn't leave my apartment for months except for fast food after I lost my job. He tried and tried while fighting his own demons. He drank a lot and didn't take care of himself so he developed a heart problem that killed him within months of being diagnosed. I thought I knew him, as arrogant as I was, having only talked to him a few times. But at his funeral, I learned how incredible he was. He was smart. And I mean smart like PhD in science smart. He sang baritone in a nationally recognized chorus. He was a good friend to those who would let him in. But he never talked about himself. Never bragged. Just lifted others up, although he himself felt low. I realized all too late in that car, that I missed out on what could have been a beautiful friendship that would've taught me a lot, I could've been a friend to him as well. I realized too, that as far as greatness and self sabotage, we were similar in that we squandered our potential to our inner demons and self doubt. Most importantly, I realized his journey was over. He never got that chance to change it, to become that giant that he was to more people. Not that he wanted notoriety, but he could've had it, had the world known about how great he truly was. And it circled back to me, driving in my car on a dark freeway alone, really listening to this song as something other than background noise, that I began to understand one important thing, I have to keep moving. I've wasted a lot of time being afraid to take chances, and my time isn't limitless. After a year or two of watching my family falter and succumb to drug abuse, alcoholism, depression, debt, sexual abuse, they froze in place and I froze too, afraid to move on with my life because I didn't want to leave them behind. But the world keeps spinning, always, no matter what. Even if everyone around you gets stuck in their misery, time moves on. I wasted a lot of time trying to help people who didn't want to help themselves. A lot of time feeling sorry for myself. But in the end, I felt like I woke up, two years later, with that horrible realization, time had left me behind too. Suddenly, after hearing this song, I saw forward for the first time in years, and thought about what's next. As painful as it was, I realized my future needed to be carved out now, alone. While I still have time.
Both my parents are gone, my family dont speak to me, im the black sheep. Ive been physically, emotionally and sexually abused by those i love. I can so relate to this song. The pain is almost unbearable. But, despite all this, the world keeps spinning, and, im still here trying to figure out why. Why am i still here.
With the exception of sexual abuse, I can relate. I have been broken down so many times over that I don't know how I can still want to love and be loved. The worst part is having this done to me by my supposed friends and family and then when I call them out on it, they turn EVERYTHING around on me and all that emotional pain is felt over again. I hate to use the term emotional rape to describe it, but that's the only way I can. And God forbid if I cry or show too much sadness for what I have to endure and have endured, because then something's wrong with "ME"?................... yeah the problem is no support or love shown (to me or for me) at all and just like you I wonder why the hell am I even here (why was I even born)????? I just wanted you know you aren't ALONE
U can come to me n hangout or the wording is accurate way to phrase things,its okay to cry nothing wrong that at all...hugs/appreciate,know that I myself have a good heart n I do care n love others,yes i loveyou n I am concerned ,friends aren't always good or necessary, that would fill in gaps or make u feel complete...stepping stones,your going to go through emotions u may bit quite understand what they are fully,it sometimes takes awhile to comprehend what your feeling or what tour mind n body are coping with and trying to cope with,life is very strange times,many things have changed in the world even over the last few yrs,
Really feeling like this song saved my life.
THEORY really hits topic's that are serious and brings them to the surface through their songs/music....and helps the rest of us understand. #WORLDisaSHITTYplace #learn2beKIND #survive
The hashtags make me cringe so hard
I heard this song for the first time during my 2nd drive to Colorado. The song tells me that I'll be back.
