My son played this song for me once. Took me awhile to understand it. But that son is dead now. Yesterday was his birthday. He told me well thru this song. Now he far far away😢
I'm an alcoholic and a stoner and that's all I do everyday. My grandma dont know what to do with me cause I use up her money for liquor and weed. I just want to get better. But this song reminded me of my son's father as well.
I used to listen to this song and think about my mom as I was battling depression and addiction. I’m 8 years clean and now have a great relationship with my mom. She battling cancer and I’m thankful I’m here and that I’m here for her to help her as much as helped me through those hard times.
@@stephanierose7753 I know but he was only 17. He didn't understand the long term ramifications of his actions. He was shot and killed but it was a direct result of using meth 😭
Song reminds me of my ex she knew she could never be what I needed and tried to warn me but I never listened I eventually got pushed away by her just exactly how she wanted
Ill love this song with all of my heart until the day I f****** die how beautiful and so sad I'll cry my f****** eyes out to this song but it's one of my favorite of all time
See in this world you have to hate the one they call the Messiah because people followed Jesus but in this world they have to hate the Messiah here to know what best for them it a reverse psychology here.mauh
My song for everyone who hates me. I hate myself enough y’know we don’t need anymore hate, there’s enough to go around in this world. We need more love in our hearts
My step grandson has battled alcohol addiction for about 5 years. He's 23 and my late hubs and I raised him. Things go well for a while and he relapses. He did again last night. I said some mean things today to him and now I feel guilt.
I have homeless son who is missing & this song reminds me of him. He says similar things to me. What i don't understand that he doesn't seem to get is, that i could never hate him and no way I could ever forget him. I love him so much.
Edit: okay that's weird. I remember for YEARS reading this song was to his mom. But now Google says it's to one of his old girlfriends??? I'm SO confused. I love how many people are like "im so glad my parents listened to this kind of music while I was growing up, and introduced me to so many amazing songs" cos like..... I was actually the one who showed my mom. Into The Ocean was the first song either of us heard by Blue October. And she loved that one the most, while i gravitated more towards this one as an addict who the lyrics resonated with on such a deep level. We've both been through extensive trauma, horrible depression and anxiety and other severe mental illnesses, and addiction in my case. So when I found Blue October, I was in like... I think middle school?? It was a long time ago (I'm 30 now), and I IMMEDIATELY showed my mom because I knew she would love it. (I was right) One thing I love about Blue October, more specifically Justin, the singer, is that he clearly really does struggle with the same things, and was never pretending to..... And every. single. time. I've started a new chapter in my life, i find that Blue October had JUST released a new album right before, where he details his journey through the chapter I'm just then opening. And I will never be able to word just how much I appreciate Blue October and the songs. I've felt relief at not being alone, I've bawled my eyes out when listening to Hate Me because I deeply felt what he was saying. How he wanted his mom to hate him and leave him behind because he knew it was the only way she'd stop putting him above herself, and finally live for her instead of always for him. Even though he knew for her to he happy, he couldn't be a part of her life. And as I've gotten older, that's very much something I can relate to.... And I've cried when listening to Fear, and how I could just feel all the pressure I've put on myself for years finally be somewhat lifted off me, and feeling like someone was telling me i could finally let go of all the fear and self hatred and pain, and yeah i was allowed to feel it but didnt need to internalize it, and blame myself and shoulder it all on my own in silence. I Hope You're Happy when leaving a relationship that was very toxic on both sides but still wishing the other person the best, and not letting myself hate them. Listened to Home next to my sleeping fiancé, the love of my life i found after that breakup. And him making me excited for the future for the first time, instead of terrified. So much of my life parallels Justin's, and I wish I could meet him and tell him just how much he and his music have helped me.... Through some of the absolute darkest points of my life.....
I’m sorry mom for treating you like trash before you passed away & I’ll never forgive myself for treating the one woman on this planet who loves me beyond the grave & back like she’s nothing who gave me life.
I’ve tried to kill myself three times now, still something I battle with, but doing better. Thank you blue October, for finding the words I couldn’t come up with myself
Wish my grandma was still.here to see how much I've improved. Just wish she was still here. I know she is as a gardian angel but it's still hurts to not tell her physically.
