    When this song came out it described exactly where I was and how I felt. I felt this way threw my childhood and continued with my first marriage.
    It’s was a very painful time. In a painful relationship.
    I made it out and threw.
    To anyone who is feeling this song to your core. Please know you can change your situation. Yes, it is going to hurt. But, Give yourself the grace and love to change. As a now 53 yr. Old who went on to raise 4 kids with a wonderful man.
    For me I had to completely cut myself from the relationship I was in. Now as I look back it was the hardest time of my life but, So worth it.
    Sending Lots of Love and strength to those who currently feel this song.💖

    This song describes a feeling that is so very hard to describe. When your heart has been absolutely obliterated to a point where you could not feel anything worse. You have nothing else to lose, and the emotional pain becomes almost funny. You don’t know whether to laugh or cry so you laugh in absolute hopelessness - hence the upbeat tone to the song. My interpretation of this piece of art. This song can be put into any context.

      Dear KittyKat this feeling is very dangerous, the mind disconnects from reality and you can do dangerous things. When I see this movie I think I'm very lucky. A tip for anyone. If you are in this situation and it is out of your control, you have to do what you like most to bury the bad thoughts. Time always fixes everything

    1992 was a year on broken glass for me. I had terrible problems at work, not all my fault. Some of this song's lyrics sound quite ironic to me - "If you want to hurt me You're doing really well, my dear", "Take me from the wreckage, Save me from the blast". The song really is a masterpiece, though, and it actually helped me to cope. Annie Lennox is the greatest female singer today.

    Happy 25th anniversary to this song! All of a sudden it's fall 1992 and I'm a young man of 23 and not a middle aged man of 48, all over again. And to think (both of) my parents were as old as I am now,when this song was released. Time sure flies,and music is metaphorically speaking,a time machine. When I first heard this 25 yrs ago, I thought the melody sounded like that of "Black and White," by three dog night,from 1972.

    This was a hit when I was in 3rd grade. All of us jammed out to this. It was different than anything else at the time. The actual music to the song is addicting and she did a good job. I feel she is a big part of the inspiration of recent music. Call me maybe, sound familiar? Lady Gaga, Katie Perry, and so on. This brings back some of the only good childhood memories I have in life. Hanging with my friends at the park or out riding bikes, maybe playing outside in the rain cause we did that then we may have even been waring parachute pants or overalls on backwards as well. Lol. I still like this song today obviously why I'm on the comments section now.

    This song describes the worst breakup I ever went through, a relationship where I found out my fiance' was cheating... The sad part for men is when you go through the worst thing that ever happened to you, you learn really fast there is nobody coming to save or help you. You just have to man up and move on, and that's what I did...Don't even try to talk to anyone about how you feel or you can expect judgement or ridicule... Your friends and family might have a kind word for you, but really don't give a crap... Learned a lot about life and love after that...

      I always heard "POKEMON, POKEMON BROKEN DOWN" since I was 8.
      LOL I love you.

    I remember hearing the song when I was younger but I didn't really understand the lyrics, it's fun this song has a sad/negative narrative about going through a breakup but you wouldn't even know it because of the upbeat tune

    Probably the only person who'd get the urge to UA-cam this song after watching a John Moxley/Kenny Omega match...

    Don't you just hate it when spelling mistakes spoil a perfectly good lyrics' video?
