Find people. Find people who make you feel at home and at the most peace. Find people who bring you joy and bring out the absolute best in you. Find them, and spend life with them. You know what I'm saying? Find people who you can enjoy life with and make it enjoyable in general. Make memories, lots of them. Because that's the only thing I can take with you. Just the memories of appreciating each other's company, doing nothing and everything together. You can only bring the days where life was worth all the troubles you had to experience as well. Life's never "living" when you're doing it alone, and I'm speaking from my personal past experience. It's not the same without some close company. Us as humans were never made to do life alone. So yeah, that's what you can do.
this has been one of my comfort songs for years. after countless hospitalizations and treatments for mental health / substance abuse, i finally understand why: i was suffering with borderline personality disorder. it’s like a switch was flipped. my life finally makes sense. now that the problem is defined it can be defeated. i wouldn’t wish it on anyone. i know it’s such a cliche, but it does get better. keep fighting the good fight. here’s to never being that low again 💛
Your music makes my want to run around my mind and squeeze every single thought of mine out of existence. I just want to feel nothing. I want to think nothing. I want to be nothing. I don’t want to exist anymore because I feel so far from everything, everyone, it’s like there’s no hope that I could find my way back.
@@acidyouth I've been there. Thinking it's all over. Thinking there's nowhere to run, nowhere to escape to. No motivation to carry on. Planning suicide. But my advice to get out of this is to think of something you love. Could be a person, object, group, feeling, anything really. Then just think how lucky you are to have that in your life. Think of all the good that's done for you. Carry on and stick around if for no other reason but that thing you love. These times you're experiencing are hard, but they'll get easier. You'll find a way. I know you will. Idk if any of that made any sense but I love you and sending good luck to you.
To two of my best friends who recently passed in a wreck: I know you fought for y'alls lives Damion. And I'm so sorry the drunk bastard hit yall anyways. I hope you know that me just seeing you walk the halls in school this year made me happy, happy to know you were happy and healthy. I miss our classes from previous years; you were always the funniest person in every group. You helped tremendously last year with being a band manager and just hanging around the drumline. Eric, where do I start with you... you were my brother. Someone who I knew was always there for me. Someone who meant the world to me. And you seemed invincible. You're personality, you're laugh, you're smile, you were just bright. You made the whole drumline smile when we needed it. I miss you're awkward hellos, your heartfelt goodbyes. You were just you, and you were amazing. I love you my brother. I love you both so deeply. It's only been 5 days since yall left this world, and its felt like it's been months, yet at the same time, hours since you two went. I'm just thankful neither of yall had to go alone, and it's only fitting you two went with each other cuz yall just couldn't leave the others side. Thank you both for making high school so amazing and giving me family beyond blood. And thank you Damion, for saving your girlfriend and Michael. We'll make sure they make it in life. Again, I love you both with all my heart brothers.
@@schmud143 damn man… i think this is the first reply I got to this comment and it’s Eric’s birthday. Thank you for the well wishes buddy, I’ve been doing good. I hope you’re doing good too.
this music doesnt just give some nice sad vibe thats great to listen to and fill ur room with, he is literally singing my exact thoughts and feelings its insane how deep this hits
I don't wanna ruin this feeling for you but these are struggles most people go through at least once in their life ... When I'm sad or down it just gets worse and worse because I know even my problems and thoughts aren't unique or special at all ... Your just living a life someone probably lived before

wouldn't it be so nice if you saw a comment written by one of your past lovers about how this song reminds them of you. you both come here once in a while to think of one another, without having any clue that you're both in the same situation.
This song actually is a testament to exactly how I felt in my life as of recently. Being broke, drinking myself to sleep or into a belligerent and emotional state of mind, living with no job, girl troubles, etc. It really made me think about how I've used alcohol to cope with things that were out of my control and to appear way more confident than how I felt inside. Makes me think that there's too much of this world to explore and too many miles of open road to just let pass by. Struggle breeds epiphanies to pass down, like a good luck charm to the next. Make sure your story can mean something to the reader.
Hell yeah dude, I like those words. Struggle brings epiphanies to pass down. I was the same way. Couldn’t stand to not be drunk. The whole time I had a feeling it wasn’t right, but never made an attempt to stop it. I’ve been sober for a month now so far, and it just gets easier. It’s possible! You’re right though, it gets you thinking about how much you’ve been missing on life. Hope it inspires of us to see more of what’s that’s out there. Best of luck homie
@@josephineblahblah5972 honestly, I haven't opened up the replies since I wrote that comment lol. But yes, I'm doing better. Alot better. Been sober from booze ever since. Got my own place and an amazing gf by my side. She gets it. I hope all y'all never stop improving. One day at a time we're going to make this world ours. 💛 Stay up, never down.
I really related to this song. Reflecting on myself and the person I've grown to become, I feel ashamed of who I was, and often feel compelled to outrun the past. I was a very angry and confused person, and I made many poor choices that I still find hard to own up to. It's hard to accept yourself as a whole, because it requires that you forgive your past self for the mistakes you made.
Everything that happens build character and molds u to the man you are today. Never be ashamed of your past, just learn from it. Teach others not to do what u did, everything happens for a reason. Your story may one day help a kid going down the wrong road. Keep your head up
Current joys is literally my favorite... I've been like playing all his songs on repeat for months and I find comfort in it. Serenity truly is currently joyful.
I found Alabama to be almost magical with the little towns I visited when I passed through. The people were so nice too. Your arm would get tired just from waving back at the people passing by on the road.
Sometimes I just hate myself why is it so hard to change why on this day am I so lonely I’m tired of complaining I’m tired of making excuses I want to feel human
thats a good start that feeling of being tired, it is what will lead to the change trust me, it takes time but with perseverance you will get there, sometimes you gotta just let go and not try too hard, be aware of it but be a little kind with yourself dont hate yourself-its ok to be lonely complain make excuse, thats human itll change
Hope things have gotten better bud :). I know exactly how you feel and I know that you must have heard this a thousand times, but things get better. It just takes a lot of time unfortunately and extra struggling. However, really hope that you are well!
Im from Alabama and i know that this song is not specifically about it but when i moved away from that small town my life expanded and i feel so removed from my home. But when i visit it all comes back, living in the big world is lonely most days and i can think about the simple times in Alabama
Lyrics: i ran away from myself but i don't like to think about it i became someone else which doesn't actually require a lot of thought just a little noise and a decay i tell you now i can't wait cause i'm sick of being somewhere that i cant stand chipping away at the days i think i'd be better off on a distant planet 2000 light years away i fell in love in the rain but i forget about it i gave up all of my pain but i guess i don't really need it beyond the seas and highways none of the stars know my name cause i'm sick of being someone that i can't stand chipping away at my brain i think i'd be better off on a distant planet 2000 light years away

Matt Glass The lyrics for this song have always scared me and made me very worried about Nick because it sounds like he’s talking about him and his music career in this song. The first verse ending with “just a little noise and decay”, from my understanding noise and decay is something associated with producing and mixing music and in my interpretation of the song it seems like he’s trying to express that he doesn’t feel like himself when he’s performing music. The lines “Think I’d be better off a distant planet 2000 light years away”, and “beyond the seas and highways none of the stars know my name” sounds like he would rather be forgotten and that he feels uncomfortable with his “stardom” for lack of a better word. It definitely seems like the way Kurt Cobain felt before he died. He hated himself because he felt like he became what he never wanted to be through his own art.
We all feel this way sometime, just get comfortable instead. Wait it out and listen to this. After every storm there is always sunshine eventually. The storm is disguised and the sunshine a blessing! Probably a "Blessing in Disguise"
This song makes me think about my life too much at 4am in the morning. im working on myself so i think about how things could be different if maybe i did the right thing but you know how that goes

This song will always make me feel a different way about every aspect of life. It’s not even that I relate 100% to the lyrics. There’s just something about it. It’ll change my life.
Don't beg those who poison your waters for love and approval They are not the ones that help keep your head on your shoulders and your gaze straight ahead They aren't the voices that tell you you can keep putting one foot in front of the other and move forward little by little Instead they will demand giant leaps And dead-end perfection expect you to walk before you crawl Don't step out of line Be good Be right Always You will dance your biggest dances for those that poison your waters You will sew your costumes with your own eager hands eager to please eager to be seen You will have a whole opera playing as you make moves that aren't your own you don't move without abandon like a real dancer would your moves are well thought out your spirit wants to dance this way but you tell it go that way you step out of body and watch a torso and legs and arms move across the stage taking one correct step after correct step And when the music comes to an abrupt stop you look into the hundreds of eyes waiting for applause waiting for flowers to be thrown at your feet waiting for someone to stand up and say, 'I pick you. This is what I have been waiting for'. But there is only a deafening silence No applause is coming to your ears Feet shuffling Whispering Doors being swung open Doors being shut More silence What's wrong with you? Nothing. You're on the wrong fucking stage Abandoning your own dance for people that poison your waters. Clean up. Find your dance. Go back to yourself and please stop dancing for those who poison your waters
@@zionaguilar6608 Hi Zion, I wrote this a while back and Mr turkleton is like a spine that holds me up and the things that I make to the world sometimes, feel free to message me via prachisingh93@hotmail.com I know it's been a while since your message but I'd love to hear what you come up with - with much enthusiasm and tardiness
wow that hit me real deep, exactly the kind of feeling im going through recently knew ive been faking myself it seems, poetically written, just what i needed to remind myself to just be myself, without trying to please or need for others to accept me as just i am, no constraints nor stress taken on to be someone else who i cant
currently listening to this to try and avoid my anxiety its getting so bad i feel like throwing up. so i came to the calmest and safest place i could think of

Aun recuerdo esos años de colegio tristes y deprimentes mientras escuchaba esta canción! Y me pregunto que ha cambiado hasta ahora y la respuesta es nada, todo sigue siendo igual completamente decadente y triste! Espero que todo esto algun dia cambie aunque no tengo mucha esperanza en ello!
Nada es para.siempre amigo, estuviste apegado a algo y eso te perjudicó, así es esta vida y este mundo material, placeres.momentaneos, pero hay formas de.vivir en paz y armonía . Que sucede?
You left me. You’re in the sky with the stars, and the planets, and my happiness. You’re 2000 light year away from me. And from me myself too. Feel empty like a garden without flowers, feel empty like words will be meaningless forever. Feel empty like I’ll be empty forever. Miss you
I am in Alabama so seeing “it is important to remember you are not in Alabama” makes me wonder why this so my is called Alabama in particular and why it is important to remember you are not in Alabama
I don’t know what i am doing I lost my love i lost my beloved dad I don’t know i could find myself again or not! I don’t know or I don’t wanna know how these things gonna end up!
Fugi de mim mesmo Mas eu não gosto de pensar nisso Eu me tornei outra pessoa O que na verdade não requer muito pensamento Apenas um pouco de barulho e decadência Bem, eu vou te dizer agora, eu não posso esperar Tão doente estar em algum lugar que eu não suporto Lascar nos dias Acho que estaria melhor em um planeta distante 2000 anos-luz de distância Eu me apaixonei na chuva, mas me esqueço disso Eu desisti de toda a minha dor Bem, eu acho que não preciso disso Além dos mares e estradas Nenhuma das estrelas sabe meu nome Porque eu estou cansado de ser alguém que eu não suporto Lascando meu cérebro Acho que estaria melhor em um planeta distante 2000 anos-luz de distância
Hey.... If you manage to find this, I want to say that you're the best part of my life and the person I would love to wake up next to in the future... Uddhjsndkdb I love you ♡
You spent a long day at the beach. How long has it been? 4, 5 6 hours of hanging out on the beach. You did a lot of swimming as well. You ran with your friends up and down the shore line. Sun starts to set and its time to get back in the car and leave. Your tired and your legs are sandy and you hop in the car and you start driving. You live far away from the beach and this song plays on the radio. And all you do is just gaze out the window and let your mind go
Sounds corny i know but i had many experiences like this and its sad cause you dont know if you will ever feel this vibe again so you cherish those moments
Same but for different reasons. I want to move to Washington because I've always loved going there, but my family would be far away if that was the case
Lyrics I ran away from myself, But I don't like to think about it I became someone else Which doesn't actually require a lot of thought Just a little noise and decay Well I'll tell you now, I can't wait So sick being of somewhere that I can't stand Chipping away at the days Think I'd be better off at a distant planet 2000 light years away I fell in love in the rain, but I forget about it I gave up all of my pain Well I guess I don't really need it Beyond the seas and highways None of the stars know my name 'Cause I'm sick of being someone that I can't stand Chipping away at my brain Think I'd be better off at a distant planet 2000 light years away
I run away from myself Drank alot of beer to calm myself Shes walking home and all the way out the door she goes Maybe this love of mine fades fast but the beer in my mind hasnt been there love the sky
