Listened to this song in the car with my boyfriend a few days before I left him. It was in a way a cry for help. Show him how he makes me feel. What his abuse has done to me. Left me broken and hollow. Yet I still wanted him to fix it. That's the ironic part about toxic relationships. You know they're eating you alive but you welcome it in. Because that's all you think you're worth at the time.
This song will forever beautifully haunt our hearts. This song and this whole album especially Comin' Home and Sometimes (I Wish), really strike deep into the broken hearts of many. With the hurt and finding the will to move forward with that pain, this album is a reflection of that. City and Colour is one of the most underrated bands i have come accross and seriously wish to see them live to experience the aura of the concert he would undoubtedly greatly procuce. Dallas Green is a genius who makes great music transformed by sorrow and pain that we can relate to. I love artists who can do that. Makes us feel less alone when reminiscing with these beautiful songs. If you are reading this, all will be okay. The pain you feel may feel like eternity. Despite that, think about what is keeping you alive in this moment. Why do you still still stay alive even is this horrid pain youre in? Those around who love you that you dont want to let down or pass the pain onto? Or simply not not seeing the sun rise ever again? To have that first sip of coffee of the day or drag of a cigarette that makes you feel at home. Keep doing what it is that keeps you going because strength is strength, doesnt matter what behind it that keeps you driven, keep it alive because really as you keep it so, it makes you stay alive. And that is a wonderful thing. Stay strong, and enjoy the things that keep you here today and fight for it for those who in their life matter to them even if its just just a dog or cat, to them, you are their whole world. Dont suddenly take that away from them. You are loved no matter what situation youre in. Human or animal, they love you and wouldnt want to go. Stay alive as your long your vessel allows you to. Pain is always temporary. When reaching rock bottom the only way is up, my friends. See it like the clouds of the sky. They come and pass like sadness. Even if it stays for weeks or even months, but it'll pass and then there will eventually be sunshine.
Here In 2024. Been here since maybe 2009 or whenever I first heard this album. Coming back to this talented musician. We are survivors and we are surviving.
Reminds me of quotes from Rise Against songs:""how we survive, is what makes us who we are" from Survive;"the time that we kill keeps us alive"- from Rumors of my Demise Have been greatly exaggerated
So let's face it this was never what you wanted And I know its fun to pretend Now blank stares and empty threats Are all I have, they're all I have. So drown me and if you can Or we could just have conversation. And I fall, I fall, I faulter But I found you, before I drift away Now you still speak of day old hate Though your whole world has gone up into flames And isn't it great to find that you're really worth nothing And how safe it is to feel safe. So drown me and if you can Or we could just have conversation. And I fall, I fall, I falter But I found you, before I drift away The things we do just to stay alive The things we do just to stay alive The things we do just to stay alive The things we do just to keep ourselves alive
I haven't stopped listening to this since someone very special showed me it.it now holds some very good memories!:). Such a powerful yet calming song love it....
@@juliaalbernaz9896 "and isnt it great to find that you're really worth nothing" hits harder each time. Never fell more in love with a song or lyrics in my life.
@@jessicaawilliams8393 Yess exactly! It's funny because a year ago I told the person who wrote the comment to come back here and listen to this song again. And now that you answered my comment I come back here and it feels like the very first time I listen to it, an amazing feeling, because it's been months since I don't listen to this song, and I was really needing it right now. I'm kinda in a bad state of mind, so thank you Jessica, hope you're having a great week and a great life aswell
i know that feel... just try to joy up and accept yourself the way you are, how ever you are. we are all human, we all make mistakes and some things about us just make us wanna end it, but for the sake of all around you and for the little joy you can get in the futur, stai with us man!
I search this song up on my phone and play it in my head phones and lay down and just like get so sleepy listening to this song haha (: his voice is so amazing haha
This song relates to my ex haha. I love this song, its so chill and I could listen to it all day. Dallas Green.. too many wonderful words could be used to describe that man.
"Now you still speak of day old hate Though your whole world has gone up into flames And isn't it great to find that you're really worth nothing And how safe it is to feel safe"
Usually when I play songs over and over and over and over and over, and over , I get tired of the song, even though I REALLY love the song. But eventually its just like "Bleh." That didnt happen to this song.I don't think it ever will
But we are ... We're messed up if we're listening to this. Sad and confused. We're crazy in our own Dallas Green kinda way. But I love it, so I'm not complaining, really.
I feel as if that wouldn't really be condoned by the message this music brings. That being said, it is your prerogative and no one in heaven or hell could stop you.
