I have a real connection to this song. like "more I try to move on the more I feel alone" is so true. my life has been falling apart lately and this perfectly describes it.
+ThatOneUA-camrFreak This is so true! And "The fire began is burning me alive" is also one for me! This is the one song that makes me sing with my heart.
This song means so much more to me now that I know Adam Young (Owl City) suffers from anxiety. I can see even more now how he felt when writing this song.
@@starstrikefuck the simple explanation is that you havr LOTS of trouble falling asleep. To go into more detail as well as my knoledge allows: Normally your body dosn't produce enough melatonin or other hormones that send your body into shut down mode. However your body still suffers the normal effects of sleep deprivation. It also can make you more prone to sleep walking and sleep paralysis.
+Godzillagirl gamingandcreations "I'm a silhouette, chasing rainbows on my own. But the more I try to move on, the more I feel alone. So I watch the summer stars to lead me home."
Most relatable Owl City song, yet! He has this essence of relatability scattered throughout his songs and this one hits it home for me. We all have our issues that may seem insurmountable at one point or another and this song not only shows that, but also tells that, despite that, we can move forward with hope that things will get better! Seriously, I'm getting a lump in my throat from both listening and explaining this right now. Not from complete sadness, but knowing that there is happiness in the darkest times! God bless Adam Young and his amazing compositions!
The past hurts way more than anything. No matter how much i try, memories never leave. im still trying to recover today. so many people have left me in life. so many people have never understood. I dont understand why the good people always have to be hurt. but i've realized that everything happens for a reason. I didn't need the people who left me. they promised to stay but they didn't. they always said it was my fault.... but they just couldn't accept me. and now... I have one best friend..... a true and real one. and we'll never leave early other
preach it cucco, i know the pain, it takes a hell of a long time to get over that stuff, i have a few close friends now but i'm not sure they are all here to stay. All i can say is hang in there, you feel alone for a while, but someone always comes around :) and im glad you met a real friend, we all need them.
I know how u feel😦.But everyone can't live forever right😔?I lost 3 people in two years.And sometimes I think it's my fault.I just they didn't have to leave like this.
me too my grandpa passed not even a month ago. my dad passed before I was even five. I'm no stranger to the heartache. and the pain. I bundle it all up in a ball and never let it out. I'm stressed depressed. and not loved. there are a lot of days we're ending it seems better than anything. my friends are moving and I'm all alone chasing rainbows all alone and the more I try to move on the more I feel alone and abandoned. I need help
Me too exept i can get panic attacks. We're all here for you, just know you not the only one and there are people to talk too if you need it! We're in this insane game called life together, and we don't haveto be competing if we dont want to.
I have a hard time swallowinng the fact that he can write such cheery songs like "Shooting Star", "Fireflies", "Good Time" and "See You Again" and then he also sings things like "Wolfbite", "Vanilla Twilight" and this . . . I know many singers switch from upbeat to mopey, but I always found this guy songs to be more heart felt (even his cheery songs) and well . . . this is just kind of messed up
Well, Shooting Star and Good Time were super superficial and that was not him at all. Any fan of his old stuff knows that. His Midsummer Station CD wasn't really him. I think his agent or other people were worried about him not being or staying popular enough and tried to get him to become like the other singers= techno and superficial. Fireflies, on the other hand, WAS more him. Even if it wasn't really deep and interiorly revealing like some of his songs, it was nerdy and it was still him.
I can really relate to this song. I had lost a horse two days ago. It ripped me apart in the inside. Her name was Kallie, a beautiful red chestnut with the whitest blaze and the most sweetest eyes. She helped me through the death of my horse Tucker 5 years ago. With Tucker, it was extremely hard. He was there ever since I was a baby. He was my teacher, my friend, and my family. I miss those two with all my heart.
Same. First my hamster the cousin then frog the grandma the gerbil then other grandma making me grandparent less then all my friends then people start to bully me. And now my dog is sick and I broke my arm. Hope life gets better for everyone.
I don't make poems but some people say that I write very good stories that are in the same tone as this song is. I was able to really surprise my English teacher in high school with it, she even said it was best in class even tho I didn't finish it because I got so into it I wrote 8 full pages of it.
"The fire I began is burning me alive, but I know better than to leave and let it die." I feel like the "fire" he's talking about can be seen as life itself. Sometimes the fire hurts and burns. But other times, it's warm and brings comfort. Sometimes you just have to stick around the fire long enough to appreciate those moments. If you give up on it and let it die out just because you got burned a few times, others won't get to feel the warmth and happiness that your fire could've given them. And I'm sure all of us have at least one person who will sit nearby and enjoy your fire with you. Even through all the burns.
2 years ago iwas battle with depression and i was in such a bad place in my life but i was kinda in deny. one day i hear this song for pure random and inmeatily i star to cry i was all my feelings in one place. i remember listen this song every day and human by christina perry the time of my treatment last year sometimes the songs get to people in such an incredible ways i thank God for being alive today
I am a teenager and I feel that everyone will have one depressing time in their life. When I listen to this song it just makes me thankful for everything I have. Everyone thank god for all the blessings you have. You all are really thoughtful and reading your comments really touched me. Hope you all feel better after reading this :)
It has been like several years since this song was released. Still one of my favorite Owl City songs. Just as many of the comments I can relate to this song *a lot.* Most of my life has been a constant neglect from everyone, sometimes even from my own family. Now it is different, I'm starting to learn how to fight and mentally healthier, but every single time I listen to this masterpiece I go back to the past and recall how I felt when I was totally brittle, what I had to go through to be here, and I thank everyone who helped me. I cried today listening to this song. I'm your fan forever Owl City. Thank you.
Y'know... such a sad song can often bring out people's worst feelings... but this one makes me happy. It's just kinda nice to know I'm not the only one who has hard times... that they're a common thing. And it makes me think, "If they can get through it... so can I!"
To everyone reading this: I know it seems difficult right now, whatever your problems may be (Depression, abuse of some kind or another, or even a breakup), but believe me when I say you can make it through it. I believe in you, and I'm sure many other people do too. It may be hard, but it's worth the fight ^_^
+Emily L. I can relate to you because my dad left when i was five years old, he left to California to he homeless and do drugs. my aunt whent to go look for him and she found him but she said that he is dieing. and he is only 37. me and my brother lived with our mom which she taoes drugs too. so the courts took us away and now I live with my grandma.
I absolutely adore this song. The lyrics describes the way I feel about my life these days. I get emotional listening to this song. Been a fan of Owl City for a long time, so a big thanks to Adam Young :)
***** What a traumatic and horrible experience you've gone through Jack. I truly felt sorrowful after reading your message. How would they like it if the same was done to them!!! I really do resent anyone hurting and abusing others. That makes me so angry and mad :( Cruel people like that are just cowards themselves I think. I've become more emotional due to my wonderful dad passing away from cancer some years ago, and it's only me and my mum at home now. I tend to live a solitary life as I don't have any close friends, but I do have friends who know me. I play and listen to music a lot, and play video games to keep my mind occupied. Music means a lot to me :)
***** is there anyone you can confide in, like a close friend if you have one that is? Or your parents perhaps. How about getting in touch with the Samaritans. As u can see, I can be very protective and helpful when I hear of people in distress. I've finished school and in Uni now, so I have no-one bullying me. If u need anymore advice, I'll be glad to help. I know life must be hard for u right now, but be strong my friend. I must admit I was teased a bit in secondary school, but not abused thankfully. I got used to it.
***** Adding to what u said, not everyone hates u. I'm a true pacifist and always happy to help others in need like yourself. I dislike people who have an antagonistic attitude, so I sometimes try to ignore what they say or do to prevent provoking abuse of any kind. I'm not sure if this advice helps u or not. Try and be brave if u can.
This is such a beautiful song, and so easy to understand if you have felt this. He really explains what it's like to lose someone too early. He brilliantly conveys the feeling of endless, bottomless grief, and the feeling of absolutely nothing, when you can fell nothing at all. Very poetic. Beautiful.
the rainbows are my friends the more i try to get thrm to notice me like real friends i get more lonely so i feel like a silhouette that no hears or sees :'( i am crying
Well that's pawesome! What do you call a wolf that's gone missing? A where-wolf. I'm not financially stable, so I became a loan wolf! What's a dog's favorite breakfast? Woof-les. :D
This is such a beautiful song! I have been kinda sad lately because I have relized how many owl city songs I don't like but I came back to this song and all hope came back!

This song is a song that resembles me the best. I can relate so much to it as the lyrics in this song ties into so many things inside me and within my life.
You need to find peace inside yourself first :/ And then you will find peace and content in your environment. Accept and love yourself and let go of the past that binds you to this anger and unhappiness. Once you do that, you will love yourself and your life.
well, I'm normally a cynical person who sees the world in a negative light. Due to the many tragic family deaths of reltives, including my brother. at a young age
thank you very much for your kind advice sir. I'm not the suicidal type mind you. just a person who suffers from a bad past. Not even officially diagnosed with depression
Your comment stood out to me.... I... hope everything works out. What I would tell you is to stop fighting yourself. Be patient. You might feel imprisoned within your own emotions, but before you can move on, you have to accept them first. It's okay to be angry. It's okay to be unhappy. There is a time for everything, and your time has yet to come.
I just lost my best furry friend but ive never lost a pet so close, and this explains my feelingz so exactly its unbeliveable.EDIT:does anyone else feel hiw heart wrenchingly this hits home? Howthis decribes your depression so exactly? If so, please leave a thumbs-up in the comments so all who read this know they arent alone. And that there are others out yhere. Even if its just for support, it's always appreciated by the other person.
I can't believe it's already been 5 years since this song has been released. I remember how popular this song was in my old school. I miss owl city so much!!
I thought I was the one helping my friends get through their lives. In the end they were the ones helping me get through life, after listening to this song it reminded me of myself and my eyes that see other people's pain. Whenever I saw their pain I felt it. The trauma, depression, problems, etc.. I was like them. Going through life like a silhouette.
This song freaking kills me. Literally. I feel like something is ripping my heart in half lol. But nonetheless..I still can't tear myself from pressing repeat..
There are times I just need this song. Even though it's one of Adam's older songs it's still one of my favorites because it just describes my life so well. Adam's songs just have a way of making you connect with them, it's hard to explain. But I love every single one of them, and I love Adam
I'm literally crying from the comments, cause they're so nice and supportive. Even if they weren't made for me, they just make me feel so much better. Thank you.
lets all just accept that all of us here are depressed and need a hug and the truth...we are all worth it. Let no one tell u other wise, if they do their selling something. I will never get a reset button and u wont either. We all just wish that all of it could reset...Just to let u know, anywhere u are in the world, I will help u with anything ur going through. I'm also going through that time...keep pushing forward....I believe in u :).
Man I feel you, I had to go through one of the phases where you wish everything could go back to how it use to be and it sucks but yes keep pushing I believe in YOU Emu Gad
This song is So fitting. Especially the part " will i ever love again?". I am Unable to love. I can't feel this emotion and i Never could in the past. I want to know this feeling. But for now i just cant
I bought some calligraphy brushes and black papers at Fullybooked. The store is about to close when they played this song. I did asked the cashier what is the title of the song because the melodic structure really fits what I am going through right now. Then, as I read the lyrics, it really describes what is my mental state now. Thank you for this video
I love this song, after all these years, I still feel what Adam sings about. And btw, wrong album cover. This is from Midsummer Station but you have All Things Bright And Beautiful cover.
My fiancé left me on thanksgiving day, saying she lost feelings for me a long time ago and she was afraid to hurt my feelings. Two weeks later she has a new boyfriend... she will never understand what she did to me, and this song is exactly what I needed to hear... I'm nothing, I've lost hope, and I can't come to grips with the situation I'm in... I truly do walk alone anywhere I go
to be honest, when i didnt have depression, i didnt even understand anything- but now i witnessed it, its relatable. now that its gone, its just bad memories. just read the bible everybody! it cheered me up! just an advice~
I enjoy making people smile and laugh but on the inside, this song is my life. Some days are better than others. But the bad days have been scary. I have been dealing with this for years. It was better at one point but now it's really tough. Just taking it day by day now.
leannajaffe you and me both. I can make everyone happy except myself. but at least they're are more happy than depressed. I take it as I'm fighting their depression too by making them happy.
this song relates to me so much... i wake up in tears everyday, have lots of grief, heartache, pain, i always feel like a silhouette bc nobody notices me, i push people away bc i dont want to hurt them, and the friend i do have are starting to lose intrest in me... i love stargazing tho, its one of the few things in this world that actually make me happy...
Goodbye Dad and Grandpa.Grandpa passed away less then a month ago and my father when I was five. It feels like someone stabbed a raw scare . Old wounds reopened and fresh ones added to my collection of heartache. Im depressed and my family doesn't even notice. Im a silhouette chasing rainbows of false hope alone.😢😢😭😭😭
Amber Riggen You're not alone. Remember that. Also remember that, while this will hurt, even the darkest night has an end, a new dawn, and the sun will shine again. You'll be fine. It'll take time, but you'll make it. Eventually. Take it from someone who has lost so many in life: Everything will be OK. Give it time so you can heal, remember to be happy, bright-minded, and hopeful, and you'll get there for real.
You'll get to see them again in the land down under. Be marry for the burdens of mortality are no longer constraining them... They will welcome you if you let them. Everyone is hopeful. Achieve it
@PennyLane Roche i have been abandoned by a neglecting mother who decided to make her own life , a father completly unaware of the needs of someone who grows up in this day and age ,soy i have been put up to the worst conditions possible for me to be able to develop my own self normally, i had to suffer first and make mistakes in order to learn and develop myself and i was much likely treatened like garbage my entire life, i had to first be very stupid and make so many mistakes to find in myself the will to change, even if that simply increased my suffering over the years and i can only see with one eye because of a leucoma in one of my eyes, i can barely even see with that eye, so i have a usualy problems with my vision, but i always think of not letting all this stupid things happening in my life to take me down no matter what, im going to fight to enjoy my life until my last second of life in this existential plain,because i know i at least dont deserve this bs to happen to me, so dont let this stupid stuff you dont deserve happen to you anymore and fight from being free from it.
there are days when this is me. there are also days when this song describes exactly what i have gone through and how i feel at an exact moment. i love and cherish this song. as well as many of Adams songs. they just bring me back to who i am, and who i used to be. there are a lot of days where i wish i could forget everything bad that had ever happened to me. but as the song says, the more i try to move on, the more i feel alone. my past is apart of who i am. i cant forget that... oh well... thank y'all for letting me vent..
This was one song that I shared with a boy I once cared for. He liked it so much that he decided to write it into his assignment and I helped him with it. We were so closed before. There were so many happy memories, and we shared every one of them. I thought we would have much more. Then things happened. We parted. And now I listened to this song, reminiscing, and every single lyric hit me and keep on reminding me about the past. I'm new to this grief I can't explain, but I'm no stranger to the heartache and the pain.

![Owl City - Silhouette Lyrics [Full HD]](/img/tr.png)
I have a real connection to this song. like "more I try to move on the more I feel alone" is so true. my life has been falling apart lately and this perfectly describes it.
True that. So one of my only friends left showed me this and now it is all I listen to. And five nights at Freddy's.
+ThatOneUA-camrFreak This is so true! And "The fire began is burning me alive" is also one for me!
This is the one song that makes me sing with my heart.
+ThatOneUA-camrFreak The part about phobias and fears really gets me, as I have bad anxiety.
I learned to ecept it so yea
it's been almost 6 years since I last smiled😑😒😧
Does anyone ever think this is really how he's feeling...? About his life, his music, his fans?
I think everyone does...
cookierain I'm wondering if he wrote this after his wife died
Amber S. It was his girlfriend, not his wife, but that could be.
The Strangest Username I looked it up and I think it said he just got through a breakup. I think vanilla twilight was the girlfriends death.
WHO WOULD WANNA BREAKUP WITH ADAM?
This is Owl City's most underrated song ever. It really deserves more attention
Totally agree. Try to listen this without vocals, it's amazing.
This song means so much more to me now that I know Adam Young (Owl City) suffers from anxiety. I can see even more now how he felt when writing this song.
Lydia Kelly He also has insomnia. That is Fireflies.
@@platinumraven118 I waz actually wondering, what is insomnia?
@@starstrikefuck the simple explanation is that you havr LOTS of trouble falling asleep.

@@platinumraven118 Oh, ok.
So technically it would worsen his anxiety.

I'm here because of vizi.

You mean every comment section
thanks for making me smile :)
The Nigerian Thunder yeah
I cry every single time I listen to this. I am suffering from anxiety and depression, and these lyrics depict my feelings perfectly.
Same here bud. All we can do is suffer through it and hope for the best. (and to maybe find some help to reduce the pain)
Me too exept i can get panic attacks. We're all here for you, just know you not the only one and there are people to talk too if you need it! We're in this insane game called life together, and we don't haveto be competing if we dont want to.
Thanks. I got meds recently, but still sometimes have down moments. I don't really have many people to vent to or talk to that truly understand.
yeah i no dat. I had meds un til my sister dumped them in the sink. But just no that thre are lots of people that care about you! You arent alone!
Thank you. You're very kind. 😊
My sister asked me why I liked a song that didn't make sense.
I guess that it only make sense to people they apply to.
Agreed, only people who have felt pain, loss, and misery can really understand this song and it's beautiful story it tells, beautiful and sad.
Well, sometimes people can't understand their own language.
So true.
I need a hug. .-.

Well, Shooting Star and Good Time were super superficial and that was not him at all. Any fan of his old stuff knows that. His Midsummer Station CD wasn't really him.

They're not truly gone. They're a silhouette watching over you.
Just think one day, you may get to ride them into to sunset of life once more.

"The fire i began, is burning me alive"
His poetry. It's my inspiration. I wrote 8 poems and no one but me knows I wrote them. It's really hard to compare to the Masterpieces of Adam Young.
I don't make poems but some people say that I write very good stories that are in the same tone as this song is. I was able to really surprise my English teacher in high school with it, she even said it was best in class even tho I didn't finish it because I got so into it I wrote 8 full pages of it.
I've been told I write really depressing poetry when I'm bored at school.
Georgius Arga it still burns
But I know better than to leave and let it dieeeee..... this is too much 😢😢
"The fire I began is burning me alive, but I know better than to leave and let it die."
I feel like the "fire" he's talking about can be seen as life itself. Sometimes the fire hurts and burns. But other times, it's warm and brings comfort. Sometimes you just have to stick around the fire long enough to appreciate those moments. If you give up on it and let it die out just because you got burned a few times, others won't get to feel the warmth and happiness that your fire could've given them. And I'm sure all of us have at least one person who will sit nearby and enjoy your fire with you. Even through all the burns.
Irrelevant Person I so agree
2 years ago iwas battle with depression and i was in such a bad place in my life but i was kinda in deny. one day i hear this song for pure random and inmeatily i star to cry i was all my feelings in one place. i remember listen this song every day and human by christina perry the time of my treatment last year sometimes the songs get to people in such an incredible ways i thank God for being alive today
'inmeatily'
I am a teenager and I feel that everyone will have one depressing time in their life. When I listen to this song it just makes me thankful for everything I have. Everyone thank god for all the blessings you have. You all are really thoughtful and reading your comments really touched me. Hope you all feel better after reading this :)
Damn there is a chance ur an adult now lmao
From age 7 to age 18 and still listening this song
And still cry with every line 😭
It has been like several years since this song was released. Still one of my favorite Owl City songs. Just as many of the comments I can relate to this song *a lot.* Most of my life has been a constant neglect from everyone, sometimes even from my own family. Now it is different, I'm starting to learn how to fight and mentally healthier, but every single time I listen to this masterpiece I go back to the past and recall how I felt when I was totally brittle, what I had to go through to be here, and I thank everyone who helped me. I cried today listening to this song. I'm your fan forever Owl City. Thank you.
This song man. So much emotion out into it, every time I listen to it i feel like im going back in time back when everything was good.
This is one of those songs that just hits you in the face with sadness even if you are happy af at the moment, like It will change your emotions fast.
Y'know... such a sad song can often bring out people's worst feelings... but this one makes me happy. It's just kinda nice to know I'm not the only one who has hard times... that they're a common thing. And it makes me think, "If they can get through it... so can I!"
That's a good way to think, and I'll pray that you can overcome your hard times.
I now am a different person.
I am a depressed person now.
Don't forget the crippling anxiety that accompanies it....

Thank you...
Thanks... TT
To everyone reading this: I know it seems difficult right now, whatever your problems may be (Depression, abuse of some kind or another, or even a breakup), but believe me when I say you can make it through it. I believe in you, and I'm sure many other people do too. It may be hard, but it's worth the fight ^_^
+Emily L. I can relate to you because my dad left when i was five years old, he left to California to he homeless and do drugs. my aunt whent to go look for him and she found him but she said that he is dieing. and he is only 37. me and my brother lived with our mom which she taoes drugs too. so the courts took us away and now I live with my grandma.
Oh hey 111th like that sorta made me feel better. :) also thanks...
Vivziepop send me here
same :)
same :3
yup
Same

I absolutely adore this song. The lyrics describes the way I feel about my life these days. I get emotional listening to this song. Been a fan of Owl City for a long time, so a big thanks to Adam Young :)
***** What a traumatic and horrible experience you've gone through Jack. I truly felt sorrowful after reading your message. How would they like it if the same was done to them!!! I really do resent anyone hurting and abusing others. That makes me so angry and mad :(
Cruel people like that are just cowards themselves I think. I've become more emotional due to my wonderful dad passing away from cancer some years ago, and it's only me and my mum at home now. I tend to live a solitary life as I don't have any close friends, but I do have friends who know me. I play and listen to music a lot, and play video games to keep my mind occupied. Music means a lot to me :)
***** is there anyone you can confide in, like a close friend if you have one that is? Or your parents perhaps. How about getting in touch with the Samaritans.
As u can see, I can be very protective and helpful when I hear of people in distress. I've finished school and in Uni now, so I have no-one bullying me. If u need anymore advice, I'll be glad to help. I know life must be hard for u right now, but be strong my friend. I must admit I was teased a bit in secondary school, but not abused thankfully. I got used to it.
***** Adding to what u said, not everyone hates u. I'm a true pacifist and always happy to help others in need like yourself. I dislike people who have an antagonistic attitude, so I sometimes try to ignore what they say or do to prevent provoking abuse of any kind. I'm not sure if this advice helps u or not. Try and be brave if u can.
I swear this is one of the only songs that can make me cry almost without fail. It's such a beautiful song.
the voice he used to do one one of my favorite songs...FIREFLY
This is such a beautiful song, and so easy to understand if you have felt this. He really explains what it's like to lose someone too early. He brilliantly conveys the feeling of endless, bottomless grief, and the feeling of absolutely nothing, when you can fell nothing at all. Very poetic. Beautiful.
the rainbows are my friends the more i try to get thrm to notice me like real friends i get more lonely so i feel like a silhouette that no hears or sees :'( i am crying
+Violet Wolf i will be ur friend
+Violet Wolf ues i do
Well that's pawesome! What do you call a wolf that's gone missing? A where-wolf. I'm not financially stable, so I became a loan wolf! What's a dog's favorite breakfast? Woof-les. :D
That was a joke spam XD
+Violet Wolf nice jokes
Love this song so much you don't even know how much it relates to me
ikr
i do
This is such a beautiful song! I have been kinda sad lately because I have relized how many owl city songs I don't like but I came back to this song and all hope came back!
A friend asked "Do you have a song that you completely, one hundred percent relate to and tells your life story?"
I sent her a link to this song.
it's nice to reflect with this song every time you feel like the world is burning
Beautiful... I have no words. This song spoke to me.
7 years ago I thought "why would Adam write such a sad and hopeless song?"
But damn, I sure can relate today...
I made it until the last few lyrics, then I just couldn't hold back the waterworks
It's ok it happened to me to
Same
This song relates to my entire life.... ;(
Yep. 😥
agreed 😳
+Rexx omg to sans in 1 spot!
+Perma Flower .... Ok...

*You're efforts seemed to have cheered them up a little...
*They thank you for trying to cheer them up, but they re still sad.
CoyoteStarCraft 69>[ACT]>[Console]
*You tell them everything will be okay, and that they'll never be alone.
*This seems to help them a bit more.

i just keep playing the replay button. so much emotions on this song.
This song is a song that resembles me the best. I can relate so much to it as the lyrics in this song ties into so many things inside me and within my life.
An Orange Fox Send Me Here, But This Song is so so... Great! :'3
Me too
+VinneyDragon Spam!? Vivziepop's spam!?
Same
+Mac Bloodsworth Yes
Hehe XD I love spam, And not only was it spam that brought me here it was also the fact that I just love owl city in general :)
When he says : "I'm sick of the past,I can't erase"
I FEEL THAT
why....why am I always so angry and unhappy. I don't......I don't want to be like this.....please.
You need to find peace inside yourself first :/ And then you will find peace and content in your environment. Accept and love yourself and let go of the past that binds you to this anger and unhappiness. Once you do that, you will love yourself and your life.
well, I'm normally a cynical person who sees the world in a negative light. Due to the many tragic family deaths of reltives, including my brother. at a young age
thank you very much for your kind advice sir. I'm not the suicidal type mind you. just a person who suffers from a bad past. Not even officially diagnosed with depression
Your comment stood out to me.... I... hope everything works out. What I would tell you is to stop fighting yourself. Be patient. You might feel imprisoned within your own emotions, but before you can move on, you have to accept them first. It's okay to be angry. It's okay to be unhappy. There is a time for everything, and your time has yet to come.
Geronimo thank you ever so kindly sir.
I just lost my best furry friend but ive never lost a pet so close, and this explains my feelingz so exactly its unbeliveable.EDIT:does anyone else feel hiw heart wrenchingly this hits home? Howthis decribes your depression so exactly? If so, please leave a thumbs-up in the comments so all who read this know they arent alone. And that there are others out yhere. Even if its just for support, it's always appreciated by the other person.
I sit out side looking at the stars wondering what's out there listening to this song
Vivzie drew me here, and this is now my favorite song. It describes my life, and how I feel everyday.
Hehe, "drew" you here xD
I can't believe it's already been 5 years since this song has been released. I remember how popular this song was in my old school. I miss owl city so much!!
HOOOOOOOOO MY GOODNESS... THIS IS PHENOMENAL! It's so pretty!!
I thought I was the one helping my friends get through their lives. In the end they were the ones helping me get through life, after listening to this song it reminded me of myself and my eyes that see other people's pain. Whenever I saw their pain I felt it. The trauma, depression, problems, etc..
I was like them. Going through life like a silhouette.
This song freaking kills me. Literally. I feel like something is ripping my heart in half lol. But nonetheless..I still can't tear myself from pressing repeat..
Just an awesome song. Thank you Adam.
Oh, Owl City is one of my most favorite bands due to this song, thank you for this video.
There are times I just need this song. Even though it's one of Adam's older songs it's still one of my favorites because it just describes my life so well. Adam's songs just have a way of making you connect with them, it's hard to explain. But I love every single one of them, and I love Adam

I'm literally crying from the comments, cause they're so nice and supportive. Even if they weren't made for me, they just make me feel so much better. Thank you.
this is how i feel all the time ;-;
the saddest owl city song I've ever heard, but it's the most relatable one for me :(
Owl City's voice is so comforting 💙
lets all just accept that all of us here are depressed and need a hug and the truth...we are all worth it. Let no one tell u other wise, if they do their selling something. I will never get a reset button and u wont either. We all just wish that all of it could reset...Just to let u know, anywhere u are in the world, I will help u with anything ur going through. I'm also going through that time...keep pushing forward....I believe in u :).
I believe in you too
Man I feel you, I had to go through one of the phases where you wish everything could go back to how it use to be and it sucks but yes keep pushing I believe in YOU Emu Gad
Mr.Spoopy Man Thank you.
No prob
Just checking in, you still good?
The mountain of things I still regret that hit me hard
I love this song. who else?
Agreed.
" I'm sick of the past I can't erase"
😢that hit so close to home.
I love this song. It's so beautiful
its 2018 and i still like this song
this song is basicly a summary of my life
We all are a silhouette but only to be colored in with colors
This song is So fitting. Especially the part " will i ever love again?". I am Unable to love. I can't feel this emotion and i Never could in the past. I want to know this feeling. But for now i just cant
I hope you can learn to feel love.
We are unempathetic... Twoin the same
I remember I was on the swing sets back in elementary school and I was listening to this while crying my eyes out.... What a day that was. :)
I bought some calligraphy brushes and black papers at Fullybooked. The store is about to close when they played this song. I did asked the cashier what is the title of the song because the melodic structure really fits what I am going through right now. Then, as I read the lyrics, it really describes what is my mental state now. Thank you for this video
I love this song, after all these years, I still feel what Adam sings about. And btw, wrong album cover. This is from Midsummer Station but you have All Things Bright And Beautiful cover.
Do you think i could learn this song in 12 hours? I wanna do it for an audition since it's so much my life
+KewlJewl thank you :)
Was it possible?
+LunaGamer Yup
Of course you can!
For some practice, try singing with lyrics then you can do karaoke version 😀
This is late but you can write the lyrics on the app notes or on paper. That how I learned, All my friends in 10 minutes :) and the song was crap
This song reminds me of the most important person I’ve ever met. I miss her.
I listened to this song and was swept away, tears were shed and I thought how much this connects with me
I'm going through a rough patch in my life and this song honestly illustrates what I'm feeling on so many levels.
My fiancé left me on thanksgiving day, saying she lost feelings for me a long time ago and she was afraid to hurt my feelings. Two weeks later she has a new boyfriend... she will never understand what she did to me, and this song is exactly what I needed to hear... I'm nothing, I've lost hope, and I can't come to grips with the situation I'm in... I truly do walk alone anywhere I go
God loves you more then you understand and everywhere you go he is there and calling out to you.
vgmlover I already know. I'm a devout Roman Catholic, and I understand we all have trials to face. But my humanity has come out
Well I hope that God can give you the strength to move beyond the temptation that your humanity gives you.
"so I watch the summer stars to lead me home"
“ I’m sick of the past I can’t erase”
That’s so me....
Im a bigfans since 2009..
Your songs make me relax, thanks.
to be honest, when i didnt have depression, i didnt even understand anything-
but now i witnessed it, its relatable.
now that its gone, its just bad memories.
just read the bible everybody! it cheered me up! just an advice~
I enjoy making people smile and laugh but on the inside, this song is my life. Some days are better than others. But the bad days have been scary. I have been dealing with this for years. It was better at one point but now it's really tough. Just taking it day by day now.
leannajaffe k :P (i rarely do faces like these now.Congrats for being the lucky one)
leannajaffe
you and me both. I can make everyone happy except myself. but at least they're are more happy than depressed. I take it as I'm fighting their depression too by making them happy.
Salvation is unachievable... (we all know it)
i havent been doing good emotion wise the last few weeks and this song is relatabe😪😪😪😪😪😪💔💔💔
Yeah it can last awhile still happening too
I'm in pre-suicidal depression, you?
Best song ever 100/10
this song relates to me so much... i wake up in tears everyday, have lots of grief, heartache, pain, i always feel like a silhouette bc nobody notices me, i push people away bc i dont want to hurt them, and the friend i do have are starting to lose intrest in me... i love stargazing tho, its one of the few things in this world that actually make me happy...
Listening to this song while raining is the best
Goodbye Dad and Grandpa.Grandpa passed away less then a month ago and my father when I was five. It feels like someone stabbed a raw scare . Old wounds reopened and fresh ones added to my collection of heartache. Im depressed and my family doesn't even notice. Im a silhouette chasing rainbows of false hope alone.😢😢😭😭😭

You're not alone. Remember that. Also remember that, while this will hurt, even the darkest night has an end, a new dawn, and the sun will shine again. You'll be fine. It'll take time, but you'll make it. Eventually. Take it from someone who has lost so many in life: Everything will be OK. Give it time so you can heal, remember to be happy, bright-minded, and hopeful, and you'll get there for real.
You'll get to see them again in the land down under. Be marry for the burdens of mortality are no longer constraining them... They will welcome you if you let them. Everyone is hopeful. Achieve it
My heart is foever broken and never to be recovered from the pain of the past.
I am both depressed and amazed right now.
This always makes me cry. It just reminds me of my past, and what I still am. It exactly explains my life.
Hi from Singapore! I wish you'd have a amazing week =)
I relate with this song, lately I am really sad.... and I always ask if the pain is over. I love this song...
I feel super sorry to those who relate to this song. T-T
@PennyLane Roche i have been abandoned by a neglecting mother who decided to make her own life , a father completly unaware of the needs of someone who grows up in this day and age ,soy i have been put up to the worst conditions possible for me to be able to develop my own self normally, i had to suffer first and make mistakes in order to learn and develop myself and i was much likely treatened like garbage my entire life, i had to first be very stupid and make so many mistakes to find in myself the will to change, even if that simply increased my suffering over the years and i can only see with one eye because of a leucoma in one of my eyes, i can barely even see with that eye, so i have a usualy problems with my vision, but i always think of not letting all this stupid things happening in my life to take me down no matter what, im going to fight to enjoy my life until my last second of life in this existential plain,because i know i at least dont deserve this bs to happen to me, so dont let this stupid stuff you dont deserve happen to you anymore and fight from being free from it.
love this song
there are days when this is me. there are also days when this song describes exactly what i have gone through and how i feel at an exact moment. i love and cherish this song. as well as many of Adams songs. they just bring me back to who i am, and who i used to be. there are a lot of days where i wish i could forget everything bad that had ever happened to me. but as the song says, the more i try to move on, the more i feel alone. my past is apart of who i am. i cant forget that... oh well... thank y'all for letting me vent..
This was one song that I shared with a boy I once cared for. He liked it so much that he decided to write it into his assignment and I helped him with it.
We were so closed before. There were so many happy memories, and we shared every one of them. I thought we would have much more.
Then things happened. We parted.
And now I listened to this song, reminiscing, and every single lyric hit me and keep on reminding me about the past. I'm new to this grief I can't explain, but I'm no stranger to the heartache and the pain.
You don't have to go through the heartache and pain alone.
+vgmlover thanks, I appreciate that
