BAMFrankie it's not so important really. I just have delusions in my little life. I'm so shy, and I can't have many and real friends. For example, I had a fantadtic best friend, she was really important for me. But a day she decided to don't talk more with me. I need someone who can always support me.. o something like this... Thanks for all, we are strangers, but you have done something of special :)
After over 40 years of fighting depression I feel I've lost the essence of who I am. When life itself feels like a sickness the biggest comfort is knowing there's always a cure if you can wait long enough.
I agree. I don't want optimistic platitudes; what I want is to be held and be told that I'm not alone (referring to finally being in the arms of the love of my life). All I want is to wake up to the sight of "her" face every morning...but my broken brain has a way of waking me up and reminding me that I'm alone, and that I disgust everyone with my illness.
@@philsilverthorn you know someone is going through a difficult time when just the prospect that they could feel better one day is what keeps them going. I'm not what I once was but it's not always easy to see, but then I remember what I've lost. Lights flicker briefly. All the best man.
Do you guys just ever, like, get sick of holding in all of our emotions, holding back all the tears. And just, *want* to cry, let it pour out, and just, let it go. Finally let go of all the stress of appearing "happy" and showing a quick little smile.
I once left the house(full o family) drove to a secluded mud lane got out and tried to scream...it was more of a squeeky let down...it Pissed me off even more than I was so i tried Again and Again! I was glad when I finally started laughing at myself. I needed a mood changer. That was probably 40 yrs ago. It still makes me laugh. NEED TO LAUGH at least sometimes 🍃🕊🍃
Hello, you sound very sad. We all have felt that way at one time or another. All can change in just an instant. Something surprisingly nice happens to you, or funny, or amusing,just anything that breaks up the mundane of your present thinking and that reminds you there is so much in this world to experience... and you are an important part of it. GOD loves you and many people would be sad. God Bless You
My son ended himself. It is the worst thing to ever happen to me and our whole family. I can't even imagine how terrible and lost he felt to do such a thing. I blame myself everyday. It definitely ruined my life. Don't do such a thing to your mother. Or to yourself. You may not agree, but Jesus loves you and he has a plan for you.
Kath111 I don't think you understand the meaning of "melancholy"... I'd say try Deftones - Knife Prty or their newer unreleased track "Smile". Doesn't get much more melancholy than that,.
I went through child sexual exploitation and trafficking. Only my ex fiancee even knows. I never thought I'd be allowed to escape I wasn't allowed to go to school, I had 40c fevers ignored. I was prostituted for years. I used to look out the window and if the moon was out it was a "good night" because it made it easier to float out of my body and through the window until it was over. This song is that feeling in sound and lyrics. I can't believe I survived that. The pain feels terminal, in an odd way. Child sex abuse is the curse of loneliness to that child, at least inside, no matter how many people ever care, or how much they care, you'll somehow feel alone.
@@chimera2654 thank you that actually means a lot because I have pretty much nobody just one online friend. I just got out of a really toxic 9-year relationship, and I really don't know anything about myself yet, and I'm 25. I feel like 2022 is going to be the Year actually start to get to know myself a little bit. Wishing you so much love and light for 2022 as well because you're obviously a strong and kind person to go out of your way to say this, thank you for caring x
Sexual abuse is dark and lonely, and the only people who understand are the ones that live through it. No matter how well you explain it, it can't be felt by a non-survivor. You survived...you are strong. You can overcome. You can be the light in the world that you never saw and the warmth that you never felt. Big heart felt hugs and warmth sent to lighten your path. 💕
"That there, that's not me..I'm not here, this isn't happening.." I mean.. those lyrics! Can't people simply enjoy the music instead of comparing music? Its not even fair. Geez, Thom Yorke, eargasm every friggin' time. Thanks for the genius.
I have really bad anxiety.Some days it is extremely hard to function. There seems to be nothing that can take your mind off of what is bothering you (why you are anxious - fears, breakups, life changes, etc). U go to parties, clubs, events, and celebrate holidays to try to distract yourself, but they never work.Society tells u that you have to keep living and being a "normal person," so you go through the motions like a ghost or empty shell when it'd just be easier if u disappeared
@@3dollarsjams909 i still go thru things although not in a daily basis. I have people looking up to me so I hold my pains inside me as to nobody to notice.
This song perfectly describes what I like to call being fickle. You fall easily for others. You get into commited relationships where you really love the person but you find yourself falling into other’s eyes, you constantly get crushes and your heart gets broken, you’re a hopeless romantic, you have no solid future, you feel as if you’re just drifting along desperate to be tied down but nothing ever will. Hang on, salvation is out there. I feel your pain; I understand you.
Then you’ve never been IN love, yet. That’s the salvation. True love. When you know for sure you can’t just look at others or romanticize about them because you’re actually feeling in love for the first time ever.. But even then you might not be believed… That’s the true heart breaker. When someone else doesn’t want to go down the waterfall with you when you promise safe landing and a brighter future ahead. When you mean it. When you make plans and not promises.
Getting into relationships? Talk about easy mode. Try having nobody in life but your negative thoughts. Total loneliness and isolation eating away at your soul. feeling like a ghost. Nobody notices you. The few times you try to reach out to others they ignore you. This song feels more like that to me tbh. No friends No significant others No support systems No help Not even fucking pity from others Those who do notice you either use you or treat you like shit for being different. I have every single fucking right to be bitter.
@@fizzie6902 Dude I feel you. Keep trying to reach out most of my "friends" wouldnt even think to Invite me over . I have never had a Girlfriend but fuck it being bitter wont change a thing. I still tag along with my "freinds" even if im not realy desired or wanted. You may not be anyones number one but at least you have something to slowly build up enought courage to actually speak up for yourself and meet people who deserve you. Before that I had no one Dont become a Hero just jet. Hang in there a littel longer and dont give your bitter side any room. Start with hating yourself less and stop hating the World for what it did to you even if you have every right to do so. Forgive yourself for being so lonly and forgive the world for being so fucked. Think aboiut everything you have no matter how insignificant and be greatfull for it. Not because others have it worse but because these things / people you have in your life right now are your Starting line to Improve from. And even if you are only abel to move very slowly forward still do so. Even if you fall back you know how rock bottem feels like so at least it wont be anything new. JUST DO IT as shia once said. Listen I dont know you and im not gonna pretend you now have a friend in me but you will eventaully meet people that want you. And even if not what do you have to lose ? your allready at Rock bottem. From one bitter stranger to another take care
This is the first time I've ever heard this song I've been trying to get more and more into Radiohead lately. I've heard so much about them and I remember hearing a couple songs years back and thinking they weren't anything special.. but I didn't really like slow songs. My music taste wasn't very diverse. I pretty much just liked Creep because it was emotional but still had that grungy guitar in the chorus. Now I'm trying again, because they *are* something special. I already listened to Pablo Honey and Ok Computer. And my god, this song is gorgeous. I literally can't tell how I feel. Comforted, safe, sad. Lonely, yet not alone anymore. I'm so glad I gave radiohead another chance. Gonna try more albums soon for when the bad days hit :')
Idk if this a coincidence or not, but I am going through the same phase right now as you stated, I first heard Creep when I was like 13, now I'm 15 and still discovering other Radiohead songs that'll give me joy. :))
Listen all the way through, just as he's being overwhelmed by dissonance, suddenly everything resolves, the melody, the timing, the lyrics, everything in its right place. This song is not depressing, it's shows that there is hope.
I really related a lot to this song during graduate school. I was feeling terribly burnt out and really struggled to finish my research thesis. I didn't like how it was turning out and just got so bored with it and wanted to quit. To me this song is about that feeling. Being overwhelmed and at the same time not really wanting to be where you are currently in life. It's not necessarily suicidal, but complacent in not giving a fuck anymore and just wanting to "float off" to somewhere else.
never really related to someone this much, I am at that point of life and music is one of the few things that keep me going and aspire me to not give....
This is exactly what the song means to me as well. It's when you don't feel that energy and enthusiasm to do stuff anymore. You want to stop caring so then you'll be free, but you know you'll eventually have to care.
To the people on the other side of the screen. I dunno what you've been going through, and I don't know what the future holds, but if you need someone to vent to, or need some advice from a more objective viewpoint, then you can reach out to me. I might not be able to reply quickly, but I'll try my best to be someone who can help others, since I dunno how to help myself lol. So, yeah. Idk, but life sucks, and it's cool how you've managed to hold on so far, even if you've barely scraped by. And if you can't really talk to anyone irl rn, then I'll be here, on the other side of the screen. What I say might not be much of a help, but it's free lol.
I love this song, it fits perfectly with my life situation. A month later I graduate from school and I just turned 18, I do not understand what to do with life. The two years of high school were just a gray mass of nothingness, many days were just the same and cyclically repeated. I don't have many friends left, and when I talk to my classmates, I feel empty because I talk to them about superficial everyday things, many people are just not interested in me. Sometimes I just want to go back to when I was 16 and my life was full of color, when I made a lot of mistakes, but then I felt that someone needed me. Sometimes in the evening I get this feeling and I scroll through the "I am not here" part, just because I do not feel like an adult, I have not learned much and now I will have to live on my own soon, it scares me
You are still so young and there’s still so many opportunities coming your way. Open yourself to accept change and take any opportunity you can. You don’t have to have everything figured out by 18, it took me 3 years after I graduated highschool to realise what I wanted to do with my life and what I wanted to study in college. You have to do things at your own pace. I know what it feels like to have those “friends” that you find hard to relate to, people who are supposedly your friends but you don’t get a sense of comfort or that you can be your authentic self around them. It’s very energy draining and you know you deserve better. I realise this comment is from a year ago so I hope you’ve been able to accomplish a few things since then. Even if it’s just small things that have made your life better
I feel this song is about a soul trapped in the wrong body..of unhappiness...of the soul wanting to be freed...like your soul is trapped in the rock of a mountain..and you're singing this while you float into nothingness looking at your own living self as a second person !
This song is like a gateway .. no matter what mood im in, it takes me far away, to a different place.. like ours, but not.. crazy huh?... it makes me feel so much.. nor too positive either .
I wonder what the world would be like if Radiohead didn't exist to translate our multi-dimensional sorrow into exquisite pieces of raw emotional sounds.
This song takes me back to the most tragic moment in my existence. It’s haunting and amazing how I can smell flowers that were outside my apartment and hear her voice void of anything beyond the emptiness and soon to be eternal silence. Musically a masterpiece but not a place I go often but sometimes without any choice I arrive here. Music is so powerful if your tuned into it. Where in this case it’s not a fun ride, Radiohead is one of the best at painting a vision into one’s mind with atmospheric bliss. If that goes south, it’s not their bad. We are all on our own page. Music saved my life do many times. Not in the sense that I was gonna jump out a window and it stopped me but sometimes just giving you room to exhale or sometimes just remembering.
+Briana Vescova +vanessa withheart Dont let circumstances blind you for see the real light of life, never surrender and someone there will need you, even if dont know you, seek your path in this life, dont dissapear without do your things here
Special song to me since I live in Dublin, built on the river Liffey. And I'm a recovering heroin/crack/benzo addict and probably an alcoholic too. Its just too hard to be in this world at times. There's so much beauty in this world and while I've experienced all kinds of it and plenty of love... Its pretty hard to exorcise the void from you when you have breathed it for so long. I miss you Louise.
@@masterknife8423 lol, totally forgot about that movie. Mostly I remember Annette Benning getting ploughed and Mena Suevaris tits. Back in 99 I remember seeing stuff like Fight Club, American Pie, Matrix, Sleepy Hollow, Magnolia, Blair Witch, 6th Sense, Being John Malkovich... Cinema was really cheap sometimes and so many great flicks around then... A bloody fortune to go now and very little variety.
this is one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard. it reminds me of when i was at a point in my life where i was about to give up, i was at a point where i felt so empty and discontent. it was really a hard time. it reminds me of the struggles i used to endure in relationships i had and over all a depressing and sad time. though currently i’m at a point in my life where i’ve never felt more happy and more content. i have my whole life together right now and it’s amazing. just know if ur ever in situations like that it always gets better. trust me.
Nothing has happened to me but I've been this way all my life. I don't have any hardships. And yet I would rather hide from the world than engage with it. Why do I suffer so much over so little? How could I possibly change the world when I can't even change myself? Days in bed turn to weeks and months and the world leaves me behind. Just like it always has.
Yeah I get you. I like to think I’ve had it good my whole life. But I still absolutely hate the world at times. I do think that if I had no one to care about I would be less motivated then I already am.
@@schnoogens76i love how people talk about so called omnipotent being like he is just another dude. God not forgetting about me doesn't make me happier,so artificial
i lost my best friend to suicide on november 16 2023. we met when we were 5 the summer before kindergarten. he had just turned 36 on halloween and i turned 36 the day after Christmas. i wish i could have helped him. i wish i knew how bad he must have been suffering. he left behind a 4 year old daughter. i have a 4 year old daughter and cannot imagine what she must be feeling. i miss you james. i hope you are at peace. ill look after everything here for as long as i can and see you on the other side my friend. maybe we can play some chess. maybe you’ll let me win for once. a big part of me died with you and it’s been hard to resurrect it and im beginning to think i never will be able to. i miss you man. i hope we get to meet again
To everyone feeling like the song... I promise you, things will get better one day. It might take some time and it's probably not going to be easy, but one day will realize things are starting to get better. I've spent my whole life struggling with pain, and it took me so damn long but I've finally learned how to not let the darkness get ahold of my soul. I'm better now, I've found peace in life. You can be happier too, all you have to do is never give up. May love and peace find your soul, I wish you the best!
I'm so proud of you even though I don't know you! I hope every single person that goes through this (including me) will get better and learn to love themselves like no one will ! If we are OK with ourselves we will be with others too.
I just entered my sophmore year of high school. Since I started high school, it feels like everyone's lost interest in me, and nobody talks to me anymore. Last year was spent pretty much seeing all my old friends getting into relationships, expanding their friend groups, and living their teen years to the fullest while I watch from the sidelines alone. Trying to make friends is out of the question, at this point everyone's got their friend groups solidified and don't care about anyone else. I'm a background character in my own life.
I Hope it’s better now. Honestly I’m still pretty lonely and it’s my senior year of high school. I wish I had memories to look back to but I don’t. I only have classmates who talk to me time to time but not really friends
This is one of my favourite songs of all time. I am in love with the way it conveys emptiness, not a sadness or anything so strong. It feels to me like there's a light at the end of the tunnel but I no longer have the will to walk there if that makes sense, like there's a way out but there's no reason to escape. This song scrapes at the bottom of my heart, at emotions I didn't even know I had and I don't think there's any song quite like it in the world
When I feel depressed I just play this song to give me comfort! Can't believe how one song can make you feel heard by your own thoughts...feel like giving up again
I could go on forever about the Lyrics and composition of this utter masterpiece. After all these years it still resonates through me carrying every emotion with it. A reminder of how to pull through life's chaos and turmoil. Recovering n rising through any pain.
When I was in the ICU a few years ago... ...for some reason this song, of all songs got stuck in my head...as I'd lay there next to the window, that just had the most perfect view of the cimatery below. Sometimes the irony of life is impossible to lose.
Basically it's an introvert's song about his introversion. Sometimes we feel forced to deal and get along with society it starts to suffocate us. Thom is an introverted rockstar who only wants to create his music but doesn't want to deal with the success and fame that goes with it. It's frightening for him, to be the one in the spotlight.
this is the first time im listening to this song and its beautiful. the whole song feels like a thick, sticky, terrible longing to be elsewhere while stuck where we are, unhappy. i suffer from depersonalization and derealization, so life hardly feels real to me. i wonder if i even AM here. i feel so alone at all times because my mind tells me that i am. i wish i could just be anywhere else. i want my body to dissipate into nothingness, leaving me scattered and free. im holding on for life to get better, but eventually i know i will have to let go.

This was the song from the book 'Playlist for the dead' which lead me to listen to this song. Sometimes being a bookworm helps u discover such good songs. :))
To me, this is the only song that doesn't just talk about anxiety. It makes you feel the anxiety itself and therefore, it is very relatable and hard-hitting. I wonder why it is, that we have the ability to make our own lives hell.
The way those strings dissonantly drone against the rest of the song, the way the bass plays melody for a while. It's too relatable. The deepest pit of you is the one calling the shots. And the only way you can make everything feel like it's "fitting" right is by lifting yourself with cries. You're drifting in and out, nowhere yet in too many places at once.
Might be my last post... Still debating though. Hope everyone out there is alright. To the ones that aren’t, I’m there with you. To bad we can’t squeeze and scream at each other and somehow blow out this angst and misery... If your at the edge, sit there a while... Don’t jump yet... Look down. Is everything at the edge really as bad as what’s down there? If your situation is so dark that the abyss looks more enticing then do it... But if you have even a single doubt... Stay at the edge for another day. Maybe one day we can drag our worthless asses to the mainland lol
@@jebushwplainview9453 I'm so glad to hear that. Please have something/someone to hold on to. I know it's easier said than done but once you have them or recognize that you have them, they'll be worth it.
I absolutely love this song. You uploaded it right when my (now ex) girlfriend and I were going through some horrible problems and I turned to this song quite a bit. Strange coincidence.
An extremely close friend recently cut off contact with me for reasons I don't understand as of yet. This song perfectly capsulates every single one of my emotions. All I can think of is all the good times we had together and I see her in everything. I'm not here in the present, I'm living through memories past.
When you're whispering to yourself, " I'm not here, this isn't happening" and you keep doing it, at a point you become that line.. You become a non-existent entity. If you don't exist, you are not contributing to that reality and therefore, the reality which you're experiencing , it isn't actually happening.
This use to be my favourite song. Since I've had heartbreak and grief, but life is long. I hope for everyone to find their peace and happiness within the short time we have in this existence ❤
So many people I know including myself and Radiohead had a super difficult time in their life that changed their life and it's trajectory when he wrote this song.
My friend loves Radiohead. One day I was just like ´hey, why not listen to it?´ so I just listened to a few songs, told her, and she told me to listen to listen to this song. I’m very glad she did. Currently I’m dealing with depression and such, and this and no surprises perfectly described it
I remember listening to this song for the first time when it was brand new as a bootleg copy downloaded over dialup. I knew immediately it was something special. They've developed it a lot but it's easy to hold on to that special fondness of the raw original and the snapshot of my life that it captured at that time.
The title of Radiohead’s “How to Disappear Completely” (2000) derives from author Doug Richmond’s 1986 collection of short stories “How to Disappear Completely and Never Be Found.” Thom Yorke claimed : “I dreamt I was floating down the Liffey and there was nothing I could do. I was flying around Dublin and I really was in the dream. THE WHOLE SONG IS MY EXPERIENCES OF REALLY FLOATING.” Yorke had a conversation with R.E.M. lead vocalist Michael Stipe, where the latter suggested the former he deal with his issues by pulling the shutters down and uttering some kind of mantra. Hence the lyrics : “I’m not here This isn’t happening I’m not here I’m not here” An impressive amount of time and effort was invested into the string section, which was arranged by guitarist Johnny Greenwood and performed by the Orchestra of St. John’s (founded in 1967 by John Lubbock). 💙💭💚
I'm not a huge Radiohead fan, I couldn't ever really get into their style. But I heard this song for the first time about 12 years ago and it's been one of my favorites ever since.
Im here bc of the book playlist for the dead and o my guys if you didnt readed it yet i swear, you should. Its very beautiful and toutching. I seriously recommend it 😊
It’s one of the best books I’ve ever read, this was already one of my favourite songs before I read it and I was happy to see it on the playlist in the book
Reading the book playlist for the dead and this song was the title for the first chapter, really helps me understand after the prologue and it’s relatable…
This songs has always conjured in my mind the stillness and empty void proceeding the blast from an atom bomb. The wide eyed and vacant 1000 yard stare, mediating on the existential and the mind empty and vast as space. The shock and awe following some great tragedy. The feeling of drifting lost through the chasm of the cosmos. Very impressive journey of emotions, Radiohead has mastered that art.
I watch one video with this song,and in the video was showing pictures of old time people dead in the 20's,30's 1800's when people used to take picture of their dead relatives as if they were alive,this is so weird ...LOL.
To everyone listening to this song feeling like they should disappear, this is to let you know that you will be missed, that there are people who love you and that things will get better. Maybe not tomorrow and maybe not next week but slowly things will get better until you're glad to be alive. Keep on going cos you are a wonderful human and the world won't be as amazing if you aren't in it.
Someone posted this in the original video: "I wonder if anyone ever looked up How To Disappear Completely and then they found this song, and it saved them"
My grandma died just recently and I can't begin to imagine what crossed her mind before she went. When she passed, she wasn't lucid and couldn't see who was with her. It seemed like the light dimmed and, for a while, it rained non-stop, as if planet Earth was weeping with us. Time seemed to stop entirely and I felt numb for the longest time in my life. I found it hard to complete even the simplest task. I pondered on my own mortality for days. What legacy are we leaving behind for everyone to witness? What do we want to say before we go? What mark do you want to leave behind for everyone to remember by? Is it better to be immortal and forgotten or mortal and remembered for the rest of human existence? I'm still trying to find meaning in the suffering, but I'm drawing blanks. How is inflicting pain on my family and I a test? A test of what? Faith in a God I don't believe in?
This should go on a pmdd playlist. I have PMDD & am staying in a homeless shelter right now. Working on getting some headphones bc I can't even use music to help me unless I sit in the car to be by myself, but it's too hot to do that.
My ex got me here. I love this song. I wish I wasn't here n i wish this wasn't happenin. But I must go on existing even if as a ghost jus pass in through.
@@epiccatV.2 maybe not. Its like fire, we need it for various things. But it will burn if you touch it. Then you learn. Same as relationships. Gotta use that hurt to learn about yourself and others. Relationships end for a reason. Just gotta learn to invest in yourself, set goals, love yourself and the more you better yourself the more you learn to love yourself . The more value you put on yourself and therefor the right person will acknowledge that value and they will appreciate you more. Loneliness comes and goes but a tranquil heart and peace of mind lasts a lot longer.
I found this song through a game called STALKER: Anomaly, and let me tell you, I have never felt more in peace until I've listened to this song while sitting near a campfire with my fellow brethren beside me.
I always go around feeling optimistic, cheerful looking like having a great personality but I barely have any personality. I always imitate what others do no real feelings. I lost myself a while back. I do not even know Who I am anymore. I know deep down people hate me and they would want to get rid of me including me. Times I wanted to get rid of myself is innumerable. But still I just kept on living to not make the people who truly love me sad. I do not know how long I can keep up with this. I know no one will see this so I will just leave it here
Description: hope you liked it Man I’m in tears alone in my dark room and have been staring at a hunting knife on my drawer, I absolutely loved the song and will listen to it again and again
This song.. it's so perfect to describe this period of my life. I feel so empty, and alone, and.. I don't know, but it is terrible.
I sincerely hope things get better for you and that life treats you well
BAMFrankie thanks a lot, you are very kind. I'm trying to live my life with happyness, even if I always feel alone.
+Maria Claudia De Vita I'm a stranger, but if you ever feel alone, I'm not that strange. Talk to me if you need.
BAMFrankie it's not so important really. I just have delusions in my little life. I'm so shy, and I can't have many and real friends. For example, I had a fantadtic best friend, she was really important for me. But a day she decided to don't talk more with me. I need someone who can always support me.. o something like this... Thanks for all, we are strangers, but you have done something of special :)
BAMFrankie and sorry my English, it's not so good.
Fuck all the toxic optimism. You have the right to feel like shit no matter where you are in life. But make sure you don't stay like that forever.
I agree with ya. It’s ok to not be ok.
Bless you
After over 40 years of fighting depression I feel I've lost the essence of who I am. When life itself feels like a sickness the biggest comfort is knowing there's always a cure if you can wait long enough.

Do you guys just ever, like, get sick of holding in all of our emotions, holding back all the tears. And just, *want* to cry, let it pour out, and just, let it go. Finally let go of all the stress of appearing "happy" and showing a quick little smile.
I once left the house(full o family) drove to a secluded mud lane got out and tried to scream...it was more of a squeeky let down...it Pissed me off even more than I was so i tried Again and Again! I was glad when I finally started laughing at myself.
I needed a mood changer.
That was probably 40 yrs ago. It still makes me laugh.
NEED TO LAUGH at least sometimes 🍃🕊🍃
All the time mate.
ok but you first
ye generaly speaking best thing to do is to learn to let go xd
I’ve held it in too long and lost the ability to cry it’s just awful
Been on a Radiohead binge while here on lockdown. Seems somehow fitting.
It is fitting even not being on lockdown.
Same here. Thom York's voice is mesmerizing
It is totally, poetically fitting!
This song mirrored some of the darkest days in my life. This whole album has a mystical healing property for me.
@@thewhuthut kind of druggie things? Same. Sometime just want to drive away through the long highway road,,
Wish I could disappear completely and no one will remember me. I just can't through it anymore but I don't want to make my mom sad
dont dissapear
Hang in there, Rizal. There is just enough good in the world to continue living.
Hello, you sound very sad. We all have felt that way at one time or another. All can change in just an instant. Something surprisingly nice happens to you, or funny, or amusing,just anything that breaks up the mundane of your present thinking and that reminds you there is so much in this world to experience... and you are an important part of it. GOD loves you and many people would be sad.
God Bless You
My son ended himself. It is the worst thing to ever happen to me and our whole family. I can't even imagine how terrible and lost he felt to do such a thing. I blame myself everyday. It definitely ruined my life. Don't do such a thing to your mother. Or to yourself. You may not agree, but Jesus loves you and he has a plan for you.
@@gammaray4689 hey can I talk to you please it will kind of matter to me alot and will be of great help for me maybe
I want this played at my funeral.
LOL
Same here.
I, at least someone notices me when I die.
@@eff0165 It doesn't matter. We are all going to die forgotten.
Yes! But a little more uplifting! With strobe lights and fireworks :)
Because this will be a party
For me anyway
this is probably one of the most melancholy songs ive ever heard
Try Avenged Sevenflod - I Won't See You Tonight Part 1. Also very good song.
Kath111 I don't think you understand the meaning of "melancholy"...
I'd say try Deftones - Knife Prty or their newer unreleased track "Smile". Doesn't get much more melancholy than that,.
shady4091
I think Weatherman by +44 would be more appropriate. Still a good song though!
Connor Moritz This guys knows.
shady4091 One of my fav songs although I think Chino once said it doesnt sound melancholy and more like seductive but violent at the same time
I went through child sexual exploitation and trafficking. Only my ex fiancee even knows. I never thought I'd be allowed to escape I wasn't allowed to go to school, I had 40c fevers ignored. I was prostituted for years. I used to look out the window and if the moon was out it was a "good night" because it made it easier to float out of my body and through the window until it was over.
This song is that feeling in sound and lyrics. I can't believe I survived that. The pain feels terminal, in an odd way. Child sex abuse is the curse of loneliness to that child, at least inside, no matter how many people ever care, or how much they care, you'll somehow feel alone.
you’re so strong. i’m proud of you. it’s not an easy thing to go through. sending you lots of love. i wish you nothing but happiness for the new year.
@@chimera2654 thank you that actually means a lot because I have pretty much nobody just one online friend. I just got out of a really toxic 9-year relationship, and I really don't know anything about myself yet, and I'm 25. I feel like 2022 is going to be the Year actually start to get to know myself a little bit. Wishing you so much love and light for 2022 as well because you're obviously a strong and kind person to go out of your way to say this, thank you for caring x
Sexual abuse is dark and lonely, and the only people who understand are the ones that live through it. No matter how well you explain it, it can't be felt by a non-survivor. You survived...you are strong. You can overcome. You can be the light in the world that you never saw and the warmth that you never felt. Big heart felt hugs and warmth sent to lighten your path. 💕
Wishing all of them a cruel death. I wish you a happy life full of peace and no alarms or surprises.
@@b00sted33 thank you so much friend 🖤
"That there, that's not me..I'm not here, this isn't happening.."
I mean.. those lyrics!
Can't people simply enjoy the music instead of comparing music? Its not even fair.
Geez, Thom Yorke, eargasm every friggin' time. Thanks for the genius.
I have really bad anxiety.Some days it is extremely hard to function. There seems to be nothing that can take your mind off of what is bothering you (why you are anxious - fears, breakups, life changes, etc). U go to parties, clubs, events, and celebrate holidays to try to distract yourself, but they never work.Society tells u that you have to keep living and being a "normal person," so you go through the motions like a ghost or empty shell when it'd just be easier if u disappeared
Are u OK now ?
@@3dollarsjams909 i still go thru things although not in a daily basis. I have people looking up to me so I hold my pains inside me as to nobody to notice.
This song perfectly describes what I like to call being fickle. You fall easily for others. You get into commited relationships where you really love the person but you find yourself falling into other’s eyes, you constantly get crushes and your heart gets broken, you’re a hopeless romantic, you have no solid future, you feel as if you’re just drifting along desperate to be tied down but nothing ever will. Hang on, salvation is out there. I feel your pain; I understand you.
Then you’ve never been IN love, yet. That’s the salvation. True love. When you know for sure you can’t just look at others or romanticize about them because you’re actually feeling in love for the first time ever.. But even then you might not be believed… That’s the true heart breaker. When someone else doesn’t want to go down the waterfall with you when you promise safe landing and a brighter future ahead. When you mean it.
When you make plans and not promises.
:((
That's not a hopeless romantic, that's a fucker.
Getting into relationships? Talk about easy mode. Try having nobody in life but your negative thoughts. Total loneliness and isolation eating away at your soul. feeling like a ghost. Nobody notices you. The few times you try to reach out to others they ignore you. This song feels more like that to me tbh.
No friends
No significant others
No support systems
No help
Not even fucking pity from others
Those who do notice you either use you or treat you like shit for being different.
I have every single fucking right to be bitter.
@@fizzie6902 Dude I feel you. Keep trying to reach out most of my "friends" wouldnt even think to Invite me over . I have never had a Girlfriend but fuck it being bitter wont change a thing.
I still tag along with my "freinds" even if im not realy desired or wanted.
You may not be anyones number one but at least you have something to slowly build up enought courage to actually speak up for yourself and meet people who deserve you. Before that I had no one
Dont become a Hero just jet. Hang in there a littel longer and dont give your bitter side any room. Start with hating yourself less and stop hating the World for what it did to you even if you have every right to do so.
Forgive yourself for being so lonly and forgive the world for being so fucked. Think aboiut everything you have no matter how insignificant and be greatfull for it.
Not because others have it worse but because these things / people you have in your life right now are your Starting line to Improve from.
And even if you are only abel to move very slowly forward still do so. Even if you fall back you know how rock bottem feels like so at least it wont be anything new.
JUST DO IT
as shia once said.
Listen I dont know you and im not gonna pretend you now have a friend in me but you will eventaully meet people that want you.
And even if not what do you have to lose ? your allready at Rock bottem. From one bitter stranger to another take care
This is the first time I've ever heard this song
I've been trying to get more and more into Radiohead lately. I've heard so much about them and I remember hearing a couple songs years back and thinking they weren't anything special.. but I didn't really like slow songs. My music taste wasn't very diverse. I pretty much just liked Creep because it was emotional but still had that grungy guitar in the chorus.
Now I'm trying again, because they *are* something special. I already listened to Pablo Honey and Ok Computer. And my god, this song is gorgeous. I literally can't tell how I feel. Comforted, safe, sad. Lonely, yet not alone anymore.
I'm so glad I gave radiohead another chance. Gonna try more albums soon for when the bad days hit :')
Ditto. It's the song writing the lyrics that made me take a second look.
Idk if this a coincidence or not, but I am going through the same phase right now as you stated, I first heard Creep when I was like 13, now I'm 15 and still discovering other Radiohead songs that'll give me joy. :))
You’re going to live In Rainbows
Try in rainbows or the bends as your next album then kid a after those (this song is actually from kid a)
Listen all the way through, just as he's being overwhelmed by dissonance, suddenly everything resolves, the melody, the timing, the lyrics, everything in its right place. This song is not depressing, it's shows that there is hope.
I really related a lot to this song during graduate school. I was feeling terribly burnt out and really struggled to finish my research thesis. I didn't like how it was turning out and just got so bored with it and wanted to quit. To me this song is about that feeling. Being overwhelmed and at the same time not really wanting to be where you are currently in life. It's not necessarily suicidal, but complacent in not giving a fuck anymore and just wanting to "float off" to somewhere else.
never really related to someone this much, I am at that point of life and music is one of the few things that keep me going and aspire me to not give....
🤗that was the Music of oír high school times, i tried to evangelize w Radio anyone i knew...but the call gets to one or not.
This is exactly what the song means to me as well. It's when you don't feel that energy and enthusiasm to do stuff anymore. You want to stop caring so then you'll be free, but you know you'll eventually have to care.
Stfu you fucking pussy
@@regularshow960 exactly.
I think everyone feels like this at some point in their life... :(
All the time now
:)
this song makes me question my existence and makes me feel dread that i’ll never find love and that i’ll be alone forever
You won't be alone forever, I promise
Your not alone
I just want the ability to not give a fuck and throw all my emotions to the bin.
@@mcw5181hey watch your profanity
To the people on the other side of the screen. I dunno what you've been going through, and I don't know what the future holds, but if you need someone to vent to, or need some advice from a more objective viewpoint, then you can reach out to me. I might not be able to reply quickly, but I'll try my best to be someone who can help others, since I dunno how to help myself lol.
So, yeah. Idk, but life sucks, and it's cool how you've managed to hold on so far, even if you've barely scraped by. And if you can't really talk to anyone irl rn, then I'll be here, on the other side of the screen. What I say might not be much of a help, but it's free lol.
Hey
@@pranavSharma-lm3mw yo
This made me cry... thank you
It helped love it did and ifin you need it I’m hear you my not be much I am hugs to them that are hurt or lost we won’t leave you behind
you must be a precious human being!! hope you are okay!!!
I love this song, it fits perfectly with my life situation. A month later I graduate from school and I just turned 18, I do not understand what to do with life. The two years of high school were just a gray mass of nothingness, many days were just the same and cyclically repeated. I don't have many friends left, and when I talk to my classmates, I feel empty because I talk to them about superficial everyday things, many people are just not interested in me. Sometimes I just want to go back to when I was 16 and my life was full of color, when I made a lot of mistakes, but then I felt that someone needed me. Sometimes in the evening I get this feeling and I scroll through the "I am not here" part, just because I do not feel like an adult, I have not learned much and now I will have to live on my own soon, it scares me
toot too roo
Same
You are still so young and there’s still so many opportunities coming your way. Open yourself to accept change and take any opportunity you can. You don’t have to have everything figured out by 18, it took me 3 years after I graduated highschool to realise what I wanted to do with my life and what I wanted to study in college. You have to do things at your own pace. I know what it feels like to have those “friends” that you find hard to relate to, people who are supposedly your friends but you don’t get a sense of comfort or that you can be your authentic self around them. It’s very energy draining and you know you deserve better. I realise this comment is from a year ago so I hope you’ve been able to accomplish a few things since then. Even if it’s just small things that have made your life better
Same, I’m a senior right now and I have no clue what to do. I just know I want to become successful in my life.
I feel this song is about a soul trapped in the wrong body..of unhappiness...of the soul wanting to be freed...like your soul is trapped in the rock of a mountain..and you're singing this while you float into nothingness looking at your own living self as a second person !
Meghna you killed it. Awesome interpretation
yeah i feel like this most of the time
And your soul is screaming from your inside, wanting to go away, anywhere but not here.
Feels a lot like dissociation
Yes but instead of body it’s life for me
Depressing, relatable and yet angelic❤
This song is like a gateway .. no matter what mood im in, it takes me far away, to a different place.. like ours, but not.. crazy huh?... it makes me feel so much.. nor too positive either .
I wonder what the world would be like if Radiohead didn't exist to translate our multi-dimensional sorrow into exquisite pieces of raw emotional sounds.
Placebo is ok for that to😊
for real
I get on these Radiohead binges sometimes, usually in winter. I'm on one of those binges now and I couldn't be happier.
this song brings so much comfort. i have such a connection with it. i love it so much.
This song takes me back to the most tragic moment in my existence. It’s haunting and amazing how I can smell flowers that were outside my apartment and hear her voice void of anything beyond the emptiness and soon to be eternal silence. Musically a masterpiece but not a place I go often but sometimes without any choice I arrive here. Music is so powerful if your tuned into it. Where in this case it’s not a fun ride, Radiohead is one of the best at painting a vision into one’s mind with atmospheric bliss. If that goes south, it’s not their bad. We are all on our own page. Music saved my life do many times. Not in the sense that I was gonna jump out a window and it stopped me but sometimes just giving you room to exhale or sometimes just remembering.
what a fun song to sing along to during karoke night thank you so much for uploading this
Wish I could disappear completely
If only we had been born as ghosts, so we could quietly chortle at the absurdity of the living.
The twist is cousiousness is an illusion and you were never a person in the way the general population thinks about it.

Special song to me since I live in Dublin, built on the river Liffey. And I'm a recovering heroin/crack/benzo addict and probably an alcoholic too. Its just too hard to be in this world at times. There's so much beauty in this world and while I've experienced all kinds of it and plenty of love... Its pretty hard to exorcise the void from you when you have breathed it for so long. I miss you Louise.
Hope you take care my fellow Irishman 🇮🇪💪♥️
For a second I thought you gonna make an American Beauty reference with the sentence "there's so much beauty in this world" lol
@@masterknife8423 lol, totally forgot about that movie. Mostly I remember Annette Benning getting ploughed and Mena Suevaris tits. Back in 99 I remember seeing stuff like Fight Club, American Pie, Matrix, Sleepy Hollow, Magnolia, Blair Witch, 6th Sense, Being John Malkovich...
Cinema was really cheap sometimes and so many great flicks around then...
A bloody fortune to go now and very little variety.
this is one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard. it reminds me of when i was at a point in my life where i was about to give up, i was at a point where i felt so empty and discontent. it was really a hard time. it reminds me of the struggles i used to endure in relationships i had and over all a depressing and sad time. though currently i’m at a point in my life where i’ve never felt more happy and more content. i have my whole life together right now and it’s amazing. just know if ur ever in situations like that it always gets better. trust me.
Nothing has happened to me but I've been this way all my life. I don't have any hardships. And yet I would rather hide from the world than engage with it. Why do I suffer so much over so little? How could I possibly change the world when I can't even change myself? Days in bed turn to weeks and months and the world leaves me behind. Just like it always has.
Have you forgotten God?? He has not forgotten about you. Find what God wants for you and pursue!
i getchu
Yeah I get you. I like to think I’ve had it good my whole life. But I still absolutely hate the world at times. I do think that if I had no one to care about I would be less motivated then I already am.
Look into shadow work, trust me.
@@schnoogens76i love how people talk about so called omnipotent being like he is just another dude. God not forgetting about me doesn't make me happier,so artificial
i lost my best friend to suicide on november 16 2023. we met when we were 5 the summer before kindergarten. he had just turned 36 on halloween and i turned 36 the day after Christmas. i wish i could have helped him. i wish i knew how bad he must have been suffering. he left behind a 4 year old daughter. i have a 4 year old daughter and cannot imagine what she must be feeling. i miss you james. i hope you are at peace. ill look after everything here for as long as i can and see you on the other side my friend. maybe we can play some chess. maybe you’ll let me
win for once. a big part of me died with you and it’s been hard to resurrect it and im beginning to think i never will be able to. i miss you man. i hope we get to meet again
To everyone feeling like the song... I promise you, things will get better one day. It might take some time and it's probably not going to be easy, but one day will realize things are starting to get better. I've spent my whole life struggling with pain, and it took me so damn long but I've finally learned how to not let the darkness get ahold of my soul. I'm better now, I've found peace in life. You can be happier too, all you have to do is never give up. May love and peace find your soul, I wish you the best!
I'm so proud of you even though I don't know you! I hope every single person that goes through this (including me) will get better and learn to love themselves like no one will ! If we are OK with ourselves we will be with others too.
I just entered my sophmore year of high school. Since I started high school, it feels like everyone's lost interest in me, and nobody talks to me anymore. Last year was spent pretty much seeing all my old friends getting into relationships, expanding their friend groups, and living their teen years to the fullest while I watch from the sidelines alone. Trying to make friends is out of the question, at this point everyone's got their friend groups solidified and don't care about anyone else. I'm a background character in my own life.
we’re in the same situation, i’m even a sophomore too, you’ve got this ❤
I Hope it’s better now. Honestly I’m still pretty lonely and it’s my senior year of high school. I wish I had memories to look back to but I don’t. I only have classmates who talk to me time to time but not really friends
This is one of my favourite songs of all time. I am in love with the way it conveys emptiness, not a sadness or anything so strong. It feels to me like there's a light at the end of the tunnel but I no longer have the will to walk there if that makes sense, like there's a way out but there's no reason to escape. This song scrapes at the bottom of my heart, at emotions I didn't even know I had and I don't think there's any song quite like it in the world
Reading these comments is such a heart breaking experience. Hope things get better for you guys, please remember that you are loved.
this is thom's fav track
When I feel depressed I just play this song to give me comfort! Can't believe how one song can make you feel heard by your own thoughts...feel like giving up again
I could go on forever about the Lyrics and composition of this utter masterpiece.
After all these years it still resonates through me carrying every emotion with it.
A reminder of how to pull through life's chaos and turmoil. Recovering n rising through any pain.
When I was in the ICU a few years ago...
...for some reason this song, of all songs got stuck in my head...as I'd lay there next to the window, that just had the most perfect view of the cimatery below.
Sometimes the irony of life is impossible to lose.
Basically it's an introvert's song about his introversion. Sometimes we feel forced to deal and get along with society it starts to suffocate us. Thom is an introverted rockstar who only wants to create his music but doesn't want to deal with the success and fame that goes with it. It's frightening for him, to be the one in the spotlight.
Living your whole life as if you're broken is, somehow, a comforting way to live.
this is the first time im listening to this song and its beautiful. the whole song feels like a thick, sticky, terrible longing to be elsewhere while stuck where we are, unhappy. i suffer from depersonalization and derealization, so life hardly feels real to me. i wonder if i even AM here. i feel so alone at all times because my mind tells me that i am. i wish i could just be anywhere else. i want my body to dissipate into nothingness, leaving me scattered and free. im holding on for life to get better, but eventually i know i will have to let go.

This was the song from the book 'Playlist for the dead' which lead me to listen to this song. Sometimes being a bookworm helps u discover such good songs. :))
Omgg same. I was just reading that
same...
Who else here because someone or a group of people who you thought you were close to, threw you out like yesterday's trash
You read my mind
You’re not alone, my friend
Yeah dude, happened 3 years ago. I'm still not over it. It sucks. We're not alone.
Yup
Wow
To me, this is the only song that doesn't just talk about anxiety. It makes you feel the anxiety itself and therefore, it is very relatable and hard-hitting. I wonder why it is, that we have the ability to make our own lives hell.
The way those strings dissonantly drone against the rest of the song, the way the bass plays melody for a while. It's too relatable. The deepest pit of you is the one calling the shots. And the only way you can make everything feel like it's "fitting" right is by lifting yourself with cries. You're drifting in and out, nowhere yet in too many places at once.
Might be my last post...
Still debating though.
Hope everyone out there is alright.
To the ones that aren’t, I’m there with you.
To bad we can’t squeeze and scream at each other and somehow blow out this angst and misery...
If your at the edge, sit there a while...
Don’t jump yet...
Look down.
Is everything at the edge really as bad as what’s down there?
If your situation is so dark that the abyss looks more enticing then do it...
But if you have even a single doubt...
Stay at the edge for another day.
Maybe one day we can drag our worthless asses to the mainland lol
thanks so much for this comment, I started crying, but in a good way. I hope you're still here as well.

I would have to say this song moves me the most of any of radiohead's. I actually leave my own head with it.
This, Paranoid Android and Weird Fishes Man.
I absolutely love this song. You uploaded it right when my (now ex) girlfriend and I were going through some horrible problems and I turned to this song quite a bit. Strange coincidence.
This gives me a vibe where an old lady forgets her memories slowly by slowly B((
An extremely close friend recently cut off contact with me for reasons I don't understand as of yet. This song perfectly capsulates every single one of my emotions. All I can think of is all the good times we had together and I see her in everything. I'm not here in the present, I'm living through memories past.
Me too, she was my everything, and maybe that was the problem.
I hope you find peace within yourself and accept where you are in the present, I believe in you.
To everyone we love and miss. Thank Radiohead for this beautiful song and ILMSWCAC for posting!
Damn. I've got goosebumps all over my body...
When you're whispering to yourself,
" I'm not here, this isn't happening"
and you keep doing it, at a point you become that line..
You become a non-existent entity. If you don't exist, you are not contributing to that reality and therefore, the reality which you're experiencing , it isn't actually happening.

love this book so much! I don't normally read but this book keeps me reading.
This use to be my favourite song. Since I've had heartbreak and grief, but life is long. I hope for everyone to find their peace and happiness within the short time we have in this existence ❤
So many people I know including myself and Radiohead had a super difficult time in their life that changed their life and it's trajectory when he wrote this song.
Does make you want to give up, but something about letting the world beat me just pisses me off, so I’m still here
Fuck yeah!
Take my life , whoever you are who owns, and who has the control of everything. Just take it back already, before I do it myself
do not
I love this song. Its sad but I love dancing to it (especially slow dancing)
I want to close my eyes and scream it
My friend loves Radiohead. One day I was just like ´hey, why not listen to it?´ so I just listened to a few songs, told her, and she told me to listen to listen to this song. I’m very glad she did. Currently I’m dealing with depression and such, and this and no surprises perfectly described it
playlist for the dead... huh I'm not the only one
nope. just read the first chapter!!!!!!
I remember listening to this song for the first time when it was brand new as a bootleg copy downloaded over dialup. I knew immediately it was something special. They've developed it a lot but it's easy to hold on to that special fondness of the raw original and the snapshot of my life that it captured at that time.
11 people failed to disappear
its been 5 years.. now its 33 ppls
Why 11?
we all have.
Now 37
sadly it's 41 now
The title of Radiohead’s “How to Disappear Completely” (2000) derives from author Doug Richmond’s 1986 collection of short stories “How to Disappear Completely and Never Be Found.”
Thom Yorke claimed : “I dreamt I was floating down the Liffey and there was nothing I could do. I was flying around Dublin and I really was in the dream. THE WHOLE SONG IS MY EXPERIENCES OF REALLY FLOATING.”
Yorke had a conversation with R.E.M. lead vocalist Michael Stipe, where the latter suggested the former he deal with his issues by pulling the shutters down and uttering some kind of mantra.
Hence the lyrics :
“I’m not here
This isn’t happening
I’m not here
I’m not here”
An impressive amount of time and effort was invested into the string section, which was arranged by guitarist Johnny Greenwood and performed by the Orchestra of St. John’s (founded in 1967 by John Lubbock). 💙💭💚
I'm not a huge Radiohead fan, I couldn't ever really get into their style. But I heard this song for the first time about 12 years ago and it's been one of my favorites ever since.
Im here bc of the book playlist for the dead and o my guys if you didnt readed it yet i swear, you should. Its very beautiful and toutching. I seriously recommend it 😊
Omg I cried during that book😍😭! I recommend All The Bright Places🙌
Yes yes. OMG (I'm reading PFTD right now hahaha) but yeah still I also recommend All The Bright Places 😄
I'm just starting to read that book I'm glad I'm not the only one here because of it
It’s one of the best books I’ve ever read, this was already one of my favourite songs before I read it and I was happy to see it on the playlist in the book
I feel so empty. Tried to look for ways to completely disapear and found this song.
Thom York has a way to meld everyword into a one word sentence
Reading the book playlist for the dead and this song was the title for the first chapter, really helps me understand after the prologue and it’s relatable…
Me too 😁
Life has got me down and so I’ve been thinking of ending it but I keep talking to my stepdad and he makes me happy and makes me feel better
Good :) please stay with us girly
God bless you
One of my favorite songs.Nice words and music!
This songs has always conjured in my mind the stillness and empty void proceeding the blast from an atom bomb. The wide eyed and vacant 1000 yard stare, mediating on the existential and the mind empty and vast as space. The shock and awe following some great tragedy. The feeling of drifting lost through the chasm of the cosmos. Very impressive journey of emotions, Radiohead has mastered that art.
I watch one video with this song,and in the video was showing pictures of old time people dead in the 20's,30's 1800's when people used to take picture of their dead relatives as if they were alive,this is so weird ...LOL.
Needed this after the day I had today
This is how I feel like all the time.
To everyone listening to this song feeling like they should disappear, this is to let you know that you will be missed, that there are people who love you and that things will get better. Maybe not tomorrow and maybe not next week but slowly things will get better until you're glad to be alive. Keep on going cos you are a wonderful human and the world won't be as amazing if you aren't in it.
Great sentiment
I wish i was never born i feel so empty inside
heaven sent you to me
Not alone man.

My grandma died just recently and I can't begin to imagine what crossed her mind before she went. When she passed, she wasn't lucid and couldn't see who was with her. It seemed like the light dimmed and, for a while, it rained non-stop, as if planet Earth was weeping with us. Time seemed to stop entirely and I felt numb for the longest time in my life. I found it hard to complete even the simplest task. I pondered on my own mortality for days. What legacy are we leaving behind for everyone to witness? What do we want to say before we go? What mark do you want to leave behind for everyone to remember by? Is it better to be immortal and forgotten or mortal and remembered for the rest of human existence? I'm still trying to find meaning in the suffering, but I'm drawing blanks. How is inflicting pain on my family and I a test? A test of what? Faith in a God I don't believe in?
To all those that don´t know: this is what a real depression means.
This should go on a pmdd playlist. I have PMDD & am staying in a homeless shelter right now. Working on getting some headphones bc I can't even use music to help me unless I sit in the car to be by myself, but it's too hot to do that.
adding this to my "music to disassociate to" playlist
Ironic since the song talks about self dissociation
My ex got me here. I love this song. I wish I wasn't here n i wish this wasn't happenin. But I must go on existing even if as a ghost jus pass in through.
Same man, got hurt, came here to get even more hurt.
@@epiccatV.2 maybe not. Its like fire, we need it for various things. But it will burn if you touch it. Then you learn. Same as relationships. Gotta use that hurt to learn about yourself and others. Relationships end for a reason. Just gotta learn to invest in yourself, set goals, love yourself and the more you better yourself the more you learn to love yourself . The more value you put on yourself and therefor the right person will acknowledge that value and they will appreciate you more. Loneliness comes and goes but a tranquil heart and peace of mind lasts a lot longer.
@@jsanchez5890 thank you man. Wise words
The music in the end is just next level.
maybe the best song of all time
Playlist For The Dead, anyone?
Yeppppp
Yessss
meeee!!! just read the first chapter.....ahhhhh
YESSS !!!!!!
Dude I'm one chapter in and already been hitting deep 😳✋
Love this song, Radiohead is awesome !!! this song is so profound...
I found this song through a game called STALKER: Anomaly, and let me tell you, I have never felt more in peace until I've listened to this song while sitting near a campfire with my fellow brethren beside me.
This is my first time listening to this and now I'm a bit sad that I won't be able to turn back to this moment again.
I always go around feeling optimistic, cheerful looking like having a great personality but I barely have any personality. I always imitate what others do no real feelings. I lost myself a while back. I do not even know Who I am anymore. I know deep down people hate me and they would want to get rid of me including me. Times I wanted to get rid of myself is innumerable. But still I just kept on living to not make the people who truly love me sad. I do not know how long I can keep up with this.
I know no one will see this so I will just leave it here
I see you. Are you feeling any relief? Have you someone you trust that you can talk to about how you feel?
this song is to me what someone goes through when theyre forced to do something they cant control. a coping mechanism
i hope it gets better for you
I just listened to this song for the first time; it felt good.
Description: hope you liked it
Man I’m in tears alone in my dark room and have been staring at a hunting knife on my drawer, I absolutely loved the song and will listen to it again and again
