This song makes me think of my mom.. Her last year battling with cancer was rough and this song resonates so well with the feelings of anticipatory grief I suffered with watching her deteriorate right in front of me. Despite the denial I’d be in sometimes, I always knew “exactly what comes next”. The moment she passed, I felt the worst agony I’ve ever felt, followed by catharsis knowing that she wasn’t suffering anymore.. and neither was I. Even now when I let myself wallow in my grief, there comes a moment where I take a deep breath and realize that the worst has passed and now I must carry on, in honor of her. She is free and I am free. Thank you for this song Free Throw it makes me cry like a baby but it gives me such deep catharsis 🤍
Just want you to know that I’ve experienced this too. My life was upside down for a long time and trying to remember my mom for who she was before that long struggle in the end of life phase. Hope you are well and find your peace. Much love
in my entire life, I have never heard a song that describes so perfectly how I feel most of the time. Every now and then I come back so that I don't feel so alone
Take off my clothes, get into bed I hit the pillow and persistent thoughts begin Of the night ahead I haven't slept well in weeks I don't know how to fix this Or if I'll ever know true peace I hope for the best I need rest I feel the weight press on my chest Open my eyes, take a breath I know exactly what comes next I can't move my legs, I can't move at all Shadows creep along my wall And I just want them gone What did I do wrong to deserve this? Now I can't refrain From any attempt to scream cause every signal coming from my brain Is in vain And it's not fair, every figure looming over me has locked me in its stare Breathe, calm down and give in I hope that it's all over soon Hope you find the end Relax, as the voices start to fade The shadows float away and you find your escape Oh sweet release, rise to my feet A couple tears roll down my cheek I know that I am free I am free even if its momentarily Drop to my knees, I am free I am free momentarily I know that I am free I am free even if its momentarily
