Guys, it is hard. It is lonely and it is challenging, that's what life is about. There's one thing I do regret. I regret the amount of time I sat around listening to everyone who I said I couldn't do the things I wanted to do. 16 did hold better days, but 26 holds even better days. Just don't give up, and you'll win.
I'm 19 and in the army now. I was homeless on Christmas when I was 16. I'm so happy I didn't step in traffic that day. Life got better for myself. Because I made it for myself.
My dad said this song always reminded him of the point of his life his life he was at when the song came out. I did the math and realized he was 18 when it came out. His name is also adam. This gives this much more meaning to me.
@@cayennepeppy Adam's Song is an anthem about darkness, loss, and recovery. Mark (band member) read a letter that a kid wrote to his parents before committing suicide, which led to the making of this song. The meaning behind this song is that things always get better, and that suicide is not the way out.
@@anathemadied nope. Mark said in an interview the song is about his loneliness on tour, and how Tom and Travis would go home to their girlfriends, and Mark would go home and pass the time in his room alone
here are the lyrics: I never thought I'd die alone I laughed the loudest who'd have known? I trace the cord back to the wall No wonder it was never plugged in at all I took my time, I hurried up The choice was mine I didn't think enough I'm too depressed to go on You'll be sorry when I'm gone I never conquered, rarely came Sixteen just held such better days Days when I still felt alive We couldn't wait to get outside The world was wide, too late to try The tour was over, we'd survived I couldn't wait till I got home To pass the time in my room alone I never thought I'd die alone Another six months I'll be unknown Give all my things to all my friends You'll never step foot in my room again You'll close it off, board it up Remember the time that I spilled the cup Of apple juice in the hall Please tell mom this is not her fault I never conquered, when you came Sixteen just held such better days Days when I still felt alive We couldn't wait to get outside The world was wide, too late to try The tour was over, we'd survived I couldn't wait till I got home To pass the time in my room alone I never conquered, when you came Tomorrow holds such better days Days when I can still feel alive When I can't wait to get outside The world is wide, the time goes by The tour is over, I've survived I can't wait till I get home To pass the time in my room alone
16 did hold much better days, i had friends and a girlfriend, seems cheesy right? well it was the little things like the little band we had, where we only had one song we could play. to not state what all went wrong i will say this, cherish what you have now, cause it certainly wont be the same again.
Wanna know something sad ? A columbine survivor hung himself at age 17 with this song playing on repeat when police found him the lyrics were printed off on the floor with the lyric “tell mom this is not her fault” circled It was later found out that he had killed himself because he lost a loved one in the shooting Be thankful for what you have … one day that might save you 🕊✝️
I have always called colorado my first home, I learned recently one of my mom's close friends is a columbine survivor. It always hurts walk past that god forsaken school knowing all the trauma and pain that is burned into those brick walls.
I can give a little more context Greg Barnes was the kid that hung himself, he hung himself in his garage while Adam's Song was playing on repeat on his stereo, his dad came into the garage to find Greg hanging and the song playing in the background. He hung himself because one of his best friend Matt died in the shooting. The thing about the printed words circled is not true, how ever when his dad came into the garage the lyrics that were playing in the background was : Im too depressed to go on, you'll be sorry when im gone.
You'll be alright, enjoy being a teen while it lasts because being an Adult isn't that great, but as someone who spends most of his time playing guitar avoiding people I can tell it's not that bad being a adult
Me too, hits different when ur the age that they sing about. I always wanted to be 16 and in high school but now I'm here and I realized it was as fun as I thought it would be
Being a teenager sucks. I'm 21 and I've found that with adulthood, sure there are responsibilities, but with those responsibilities come freedoms as well. Your world just gets bigger in ways both wanted and unwanted.
I didnt know i was happy to start the year. Then, in March my wife died, and i thought i couldnt be happy again. I started getting used to being alone, playing some video games, and having dinner with friends and family. Then, in October my best friend died... We all start and end somewhere. None of us know where or what we are doing half the time... Enjoy those left around you and be happy
i had a mental breakdown in 2021 with this song, i had never been so alone in my life and police even came all because i was freaking out inside a room. this song was the last thing i remember /: find someone guys. being alone is frighting, its terrible, and some dont even make it past the first couple of years... theyll commit and though ive thought of it i still recognize i can be better and you can too.
Just remember guys Tomorrow holds such better days Days when you can still feel alive When you can't wait to get outside The world is wide, the time goes by The tour is over, you'll survive
Hey, I'm ethan. Im just like most of you, I struggle with something called chronic depression. When I turned 13 my parents split. Since then life hasnt been the same. My parents always fighting with custody, always a hassle. I miss my old life. I'm 16 and it's not holding better days for me. I'm always struggling with my parents and siblings. But now I have a 5-6 month year old sister and I have to show her life is the "best". I just want to end it all, but with her in my life I want her to experience my presence. I love her but I hate life. Anyways it's nice to meet you guys, check my channel for slowed and reverbs if youd like.
