    This song feels like both hopelessness and relief. Like you've been fighting a war you knew you would never win and it's almost over. You won't win in the end, but let's see how long you can keep going.
    That when it's over, no matter what happens next, you finally get to breath again.

    I know most people see it as a fandom song but I see it as the journey one goes through when they are suicidal and by the end of the song they have something to live for

      Thank you! Everyone keeps saying “my fandom brought me here” but it drives me crazy because this is really about a suicidal man who by the end of the day, realizes he really does have something to live for.

      This comment really struck a chord with me- When I found this song through a fandom, I was in such a terrible mental space. I've only just now come across it again in a much better mental space than before, and seeing this song with your perspective makes it that much more meaningful to me now. Thank you so much

      fightmefairy it can be both. A good story puts the characters through a journey where they question every step, and at some point want to quit. That’s similar to the journey people go through when suicidal. Full disclaimer, I don’t see suicide as “quitting”. At that point in the journey it can seem like the least painful, and in some cases the only, option. It is not taking the easy way out, because if you’re at that point it has not been easy.
      As for my personal view, this song is about the battle between two sides of something: a positive voice and a negative voice. Everyone has the voices in their heads, real or fictional, which is why this doesn’t have to be one or the other. It’s about every journey.
      I like to believe in the middle of the song the “we” changes from the person and their mind to the person and society. This represents the change from an internal battle to facing the external battle.
      There doesn’t have to be a right or wrong answer, let it be whatever it will be. The main fact is that it represents a journey where someone comes out the other end. Whoever that someone is for the listener isn’t for one person to decide.
      Also, sorry this was long, it was kinda just a thought dump. If you’ve read all the way through thank you!! And I hope I don’t come off rude.

      You are 100% correct. Ive had nothing but tragedy in my life since I was 14 years old (best friend got shot dead by his abusive father, one brother dying in Afghanistan, another being driven mad, my mom fighting cancer 3 times and succumbing to it on the third time [passed a month and half ago]). Im now 28 and after 4 attempts at suicide Ive realized its not worth dying for those who have shaped and molded me along the way will always be with me as long as I keep going and never giving up. This song is a prime example of how to look back on your life and see how your life has shaped you to become who you are today. All the pain is only temporary in the grand scheme of things. Take the good with the bad and never give up on life my anonymous friends. Never give up hope and find your happiness.

    This song is my anthem right now. At 28 years old, just out of a really tough divorce, I've finally decided to follow my dreams and do something that I'm passionate about. I start college this fall in a new state with no support whatsoever. I can't wait to come back to this comment in a few years and see just how far I've come. Follow your dreams, guys. It's always possible if you set your mind heart and soul to it.

      Siber wolf Yeah. Not a single problem. I figured at least 1 person would mess up. I.E. Fall down, miss their steps, ect. But nope. It all went off perfectly. As a side note though, I'm enjoying college so much more than high school. I was told college was much more difficult, but that's not the case at all. Hell, I don't even have class Thursday/Friday! And even on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, I only have class for 4 hours. 8 A.M. - noon. It's an amazing experience.

I remember listening to this and reminiscing about the few months the server lasted, and here I stand today, reminiscing about my prior reminiscing.

    “let’s see how far we’ve come”
    to me that means even if everything falls apart you’re going to still run, run, run to see how far you’ll take yourself.

    To me this song is about the moment someone finds out that their childhood is over. The simple world that they once knew is burning down. In its place is a harsher reality. Waking up he feels the same, but new responsibilities have appeared on his shoulders; he's heavier than before. He cries and he runs, but he can't run backward or forward. He's stuck in the present reality.

    Listening to this song on the first day of school - I know it’s kinda inappropriate, but. After 7 long and treacherous months of suffering and rotting in my bed? I’m so proud of myself. I feel the best I have ever felt _in my life._
    To catch you all up to speed I’m disabled with a plethora of different things. It came to a climax at the end of last year, so bad that all I could do was lay in bed. I could barely even get up to shower. (Hell, showers are still hard now.)
    But? But I’m feeling _better._ This is amazing. I feel so *good!* I’m kinda in the middle of my journey of healing, but hey. It gets better. And I’m using this song to celebrate - celebrate *_how far I’ve come._*
