I relate to this despite still being at puberty at the time of writing. Maybe i just want to go back to when i was a child but in my current state? I mean i feel like i would be happy if i was back then but with my current mental state(without my mental health issues) and i wasn't that happy back them( or I'm delusional and insane) and I'm not happy now(or maybe everyone is right and I'm faking it and lying to myself)
So i have gerascofobia (fear of growing up) and this is my comfort song for when i have panic attacks about growing up edit: wow this blew up. I've been reading the comments and noticed all the arguments about this one person making fun of my fear, i don't really mind it now since i'm not so scared of it (i still am but not at the point of having panic attacks like some time ago) but it's still really disrespectfull and rude to say that, i'm saying this in the nicest way possible, but please don't do it again you can trigger someone's anxiety or somethign like that if you make jokes of that kind, also, thanks for all of you for sticking up for me. (sorry for the spelling errors, english is not my native lenguage.)
@@fyoozhn I get that you were trying to make a joke, but maybe not the appropriate time to drop it? Not everyone wants to be told to 'grow up' and 'get over it' when they've told people about a fear:)
Sahvana dennis hope things get better for you! if there is anything i can help with, you can contact me on my social media and i’m here for a talk if you need it! 💞
Do you ever think "I want to go home" even though you're in your house? That's how I'm feeling. I want to go back to when I had stuff to look forward to. When almost all the days were good and it was so easy to be happy about stuff. I miss when i didn't have 5000 responsibilities. I don't want to grow up. I want to go back. I want to go home.
We all grow up and I understand ;-; I miss being a baby cause there was a playground at the mall I really loved now I am 8 but honestly it's sad and weird this place is about wonder and at the mall it was white and pink but also those kind of dreamcore places I really loved it but sadly it is getting quite worse in this world as it is I always wished it went away but it seems that the virus will not go away
@@the_dumbrabbitxx.5927 danm you're just 8 and you're already feeling like this? hope things get better for you, but if you want some honest advice from someone who's double your age, squeeze in that playgroung while you can. you may not feel like a kid anymore but you kind of still are, so you can pretend to be one for at least some more 5 good years. it's what i did, i pretended to still be a kid untill i hit 14 (and the pandemic hit). i hope things get better in time for you and the people your age to have the normal teen years that i'll never get, and i'm sorry for your childhood, i could never imagine passing through all of this 8 years younger.
I didn’t have the best childhood because of everything that happened after the incident but before that incident, I had what you could call a perfect life. I didn’t have a father even back then but it never really bothered me because I always received a lot of love and affection from my mother, teachers, best friends, and friends. I really want to go back to those days when I wasn’t constantly upset, to the days where I felt appreciated and loved for who I was but most wishes don’t come true and this wish of mine won’t come true either.
This song feels calming when you’re a kid, but as you get older it gets stronger and more depressing seriously. I’m becoming a teen and it’s starting to hit very hard.. I’ve shed a tear. (another edit, I wanna say this. no matter what age, depression can hit. so dont worry if u feel strange. this is society and sometimes u gotta accept it. but at least try to carry on with life, if u know. I hope u feel well.
@@hannahbg1852 it still affects us at ages 10+ because when we were all around 6 or 8 we were happier(or at least every esle was) and everything was better. No twitter, no existential dread, no constantly being yelled at and compared to horrible people(or maybe I'm a monster and my horrible mind is twisting my perception)
@@niikoashl3yyy467 sometimes we do think that way when we fail something or feel very down, it's good to feel sad sometimes, pizza and friends can't make us feel better every time..
I honestly feel like this song is talking about suicide, the thought that things have changed and not being in the right place, wanting to go back to the times when everything was simple and you didn't have as many worries as you do now, wanting to disappear of the world, '' Just to be a kid again ''
lyrics (even tho people already posted it): i feel so funny these days id rather sleep then stay awake trees used to talk to me now i know what is real what is fake now i know whats real whats fake rather sleep then stay awake are we from outerspace? this doesnt feel like the right place and we will try anything just to be a kid again, just to be a kid once again now i know whats real whats fake rather sleep then stay awake just to be a kid again la la la la la la la (probably incorrect but i tried)
i suffer from a lot of hallucinations along with depersonalization and derealization. this song is a huge comfort for me because it somehow encompasses all those things and the feelings it brings with it into a delicate melody. it’s truly beautiful and sounds even better when slowed
That's sad what your going through but I'm glad you can still find comfort for you, I just like listening to music like this cause it feels better to listen to music in my bed in the night alone then have that but without music but oof, hope your doing well ❤
@@thebdqjet7974I don’t know if you’ll know this but, I depart from the world a lot and zone out a lot, and forget what I do and can’t tell what’s real and what’s fake, should I tell someone about that?
I want to cry now, as both of my childhood cats sit on my chest and I turn 18 in 2 weeks. Like they saw me as a kid and now an adult. The cat picture makes me cry also, anyways love you guys! :)
I mean, the original song is dark. It's about how life becomes more depressing as you age older... And older.... When you're a Kid, it's happy, fun, and exciting! But when you're older.... It's... Not that fun anymore.... I really feel the meaning of the song, even though I'm still not that old! Maybe I'm different afterall.... :)
everyone in the comment section already knows this, but this song is so flipping sad :( "I feel so funny these days, I'd rather sleep than stay awake. Trees used to talk to me Now I know what's real and what is fake" She's dealing with depression. Her childlike innocence ("trees used to talk to me") has been replaced with an unbearable slump that keeps her in bed all day instead of experiencing the world like she used to. "Are we from outer space? This doesn't feel like the right place. And we'll try anything Just to be a kid once again." She's disillusioned with the world as she knows it ("are we from outer space?") and reflects on how out of place she feels. She remarks how, as we age and become more separate from the rest of the world, many will try anything to be a kid again, such as taking drugs that bring you to your 'happy place'-or worse.
Mine passed in 2022. He was an absolute chonker but I miss him. I remember when he would just jump on my hard and sleep next to me. It’s been 2 years and he’s been sitting in his box as powder but I wish I could grasp him once again and tell him a proper goodbye. I hope that I meet him again…
@@SirTaxFraudALot Don't worry, you will, I'm sorry for your and top comments loss but don't worry, you'll see them again when it's your time to cross the Rainbow bridge only this time it'll be for all Eternity in Paradise and bliss forever, I've lost MANY MANY fur Babies in my 33 years of life on this Earth and lemme tell you it never ever hurts less but that's why I look forward to my own death, cause our fur Babies are the first to greet us when we get to the pearly gates of God's Kingdom and then we have endless time and pleasure will them and our passed Family and Friends that will never ever end, that's the best thing about Heaven, you could be there for 1,000,000 Eons and you'll still have no less time to experience blissfully Paradise! 🥹
I hated my childhood, but I still love this song lol. I just personally think that the quality of your childhood isn't your choice. You are a child, you can't get away from parents if they are abusive, you're indoctrinated into certain view points, school forms your skills and talents, you aren't allowed to learn what you want, other kids will bully you for no reasonable reason. Childhood quality is not your choice. At least adulthood quality can somewhat be controlled by yourself. While adulthood is filled with more stress than childhood, at least you're allowed to decide how you think about it. If you are a child and you are stressed, tough luck. You are stuck, and no one will help you. Also, I like experiencing more than just a couple emotions. As a kid, I would either feel happy or sad. I love knowing myself better, as a person. I love exploring other people, and what makes them passionate. I love being able to explore my emotions other than just simple happiness or sadness, and explore my own passions.
Oh how i miss the days of being a happy and joyful kid back then where i had little to nothing to worry about, playing at recess with my old friends, going home after a good day of elementary school and playing with toys and just being happy, all the free time as a kid was just another day but you dont realize how much value time has until you dont have it as much as when you were a kid
4 year old me: I wanna be a big girl already so I can watch big girl shows! Me now: 😔 I wish I could just be a little kid again.. When we all were younger we didn’t know we were making memories we were just being ourselves and having fun..just like 5 year old me squealing in excitement on a little kid ride at Busch Gardens
not me crying my eyes out and listening to this song because it reminds me of when all my friends liked me and we would hang out with each other this summer and now I’m excluded out of every conversation my friend group has 😵😀😃😄😁
I really likes this song. There aren't many things that make me happy, at least for a while. And when I really find something, the same raw reality falls that that's not real. I live in a constant frustration of not finding that something. Because it's not real. Then.. Sometimes I just don't know how to live. Sometimes living in deception could be good.
This song makes me think of my dog; Sandy. I named her for the sandy color of her fur. She lived in three homes. My old house, the house I currently live in, and my grandfather's house. I lived in a very rural place where most everything was farms, ranches, or just vast oceans of nothing but grass and brush. We were sitting on our porch when a man in his pickup truck pulled up to our gate, and asked my dad if he wanted some puppies free. My dad said yes despite already having our Border Collie; Pepper. We also had some goats. Pepper liked to heard the goats around, nipping at their feet. So we took in the two puppies. One was a brindle Catahoula. The other was a Black-Mouth Curr. I chose the sandy colored one and named her Sandy. My brother took the Catahoula and named her Belle. We lived there for about another year until Pepper -our Collie- passed away at the age of 13. Then only a year after we had to move for my dad's work. We sold off our goats and their babies. And we gave Sandy and Belle to our grandfather while we moved. So we packed up and left South Texas for a pretty enough place in a small town near the state capital. A few months after moving in we had our dogs returned to us. Sandy and Belle. And we all lived happily. That's the way it should have gone. My grandpa had taken Belle hunting. She was killed by a wild hog. There were two dogs, in the crates. My grandpa had brought an almost identical dog to Belle. But my brother noticed this dog was a boy, not a girl. He was heartbroken. So we just kept Sandy. Another 2 years passed and we kept Sandy until we noticed she was constantly tearing things up. She was a mutt, bred to hunt alongside man. We didn't do much hunting so we gave her back to my grandpa. My grandma gave her the name Rose, but every time we visited I called her Sandy. I'm pretty sure she remembered who I was. She got extremely excited when I walked up to her. I would offer my hand for her to sniff so she could recognize me. I still loved her. But unfortunately last year she passed away during the hurricane that devastated South Texas. Now I know what it's like to lose something you've loved and cared for almost your whole life. Goodbye Sandy ❤ :) (Holy shit just realized I wrote my dogs whole life story, oops.)
The part i am most terrified of growing up is not seeing your loved ones anymore, having more responsibilities, losing your childhood friends and death.
"This totally innocent phrase actually means this super dark thing, this is super deep guys, I'm totally not one of regular kids at school because I was able to figure it out."
I'm not even that old yet, but I resonate with this song a lot. I have no friends anymore, and all I have is myself these days. now, i'm even uninterested in making art anymore, which used to be my biggest passion. I don't know, I just feel empty and numb, curled up in my bed
I know your comment is from 1 year ago but know that if you need to talk I'm here, ok? I know it's weird coming from a stranger on the internet but I've been in the same situation as you and I can definitely say that we all need someone in these moments.
“Rather sleep then stay awake..just to be a kid again”....Everyone wishes time could stop and we could all be a kid forever...Free and have fun..not taxes and bills...Forever haunts me..
I’m 15 and I’d do anything to go back to those good old days… I miss playing in the backyard with my neighbours’ kids, I miss being a happy little girl… I miss those days when all I really cared about what toys I’ll share with friends, I miss playing pretend or hide and seek… I miss arriving home from kindergarten and drinking cocoa that’d my grandma would always make, I miss those times when grandpa would tell me funny stories and I’d burst out laughing… I miss my childhood friends, I miss my childhood pets… I miss being that carefree little girl without any mental problems and stress, I wanna go back…
querer ser niño de nuevo para poder volver experimentar lo que te gustaba y divertia de niño ya sea actividad fisica o videos de internet en mi caso son videos de animacion de undertale que miraba de niño y me divertia demasiado ahora lo miro con casi 16 años y no siento lo mismo que cuando era chico
When I was a child, I was always looking for ways to grow up faster to escape my family. Now that I got adopted, all I want to do is be a kid again. Maybe that would hurt but I’d do anything for it.
Idk but at the part ”id rather sleep than stay awake” It reminds me when someone wakes up me from my deep dream, like when its dark and my mom turns the light on and wakes me up, like THE LIGHT HURTS MY EYES SM- and i just wanna go back to my dream not to school😭
I have the same thing, I grew up in a not so conducive environment so there’s always that almost dissociation, so stay strong it’s a very hard disorder as you do need to find ‘real from fake’.
"Now i know what's real and what is fake" i feel can either relate to being able to imagine more as a young child and be more open minded, or becoming depressed and pretending like everyone around you and everything is fake and only exists to haunt and torture you
this song gives me a fear of being an adult when i was a kid, i'd see the world as this happy place with no flaws but now i see it for what it is what's real, and what's fake and i'd rather sleep than stay awake. i wanna be a kid again and i'd do anything to forget how horrible and corrupt humans are, to go back when my parents werent always yelling at me about my grades or because i wanted to cut my hair short i wanna go back to when things didnt matter
This is how I feel, my childhood wasn't bad growing up, but the older I get this song sticks to me like glue, depression sucks and this song hits me right in my soul.
those feelings are real, but dont forget your good moments in life. Perhaps there might be interesting moments that will happen in the future that is worth witnessing, so keep the ladder going pal
This song to me reminds me of myself because I would rather lock myself in my world rather than be in reality which is an idealized version of the real world and my persona is also an idealized version of me. I always wanted to be a kid again even though I am 12, I am worried about turning 13 next year. My parents just wanted me to be happy and live in the real world but I refused to. I always dream to get into a world where everything is happy and always my way. So my parents took me to a counselor and she helped a bit but I am still broken only to find out that I can never be fixed and return to my normal and happy self.
