@Samuel Carrell Yup. The worst is when you did nothing wrong, but you still hate yourself, because you don't think you'll ever be good enough for anyone, not just for you.
Found this song in the midst of my wife leaving and divorce I know it's him speaking to his parents but felt that it hit hard of what I was going through
It's music, art. It's up for interpretation. Nathan commented about it and said: I mean, all my music’s pretty personal, but for this song specifically, kinda got two meanings for me. I’m kind of like, a perfectionist, and so I feel like I constantly am letting myself down, like nothing’s ever good enough…but also, just kind of growing up as a kid, feeling like I wasn’t really listened to, or my voice wasn’t really worth much. So, this song kind of has several meanings for me, but, a lot of my music has a lot of different meanings for, you know, different parts of my life.
Tbs has it right to be honest... The old guy watching the younger man die, over and over... is himself. This whole song he is talking to himself. In his video for Hope... He runs into the older version of himself, caged... like he was in outcast... The old man, is him.
IKR I did a good thing and got my whole class into NF on Spotify we listen to leave me alone,PAID MY DUES,let you down,outcast,intro,the search,when i grow up,change,how could you Leave us ect
In the end all we have is love and hope, I do not know what happened but maybe talk to the person again, if it turns out, great, if not, you did everything you could to make it right. Best wishes from germany
At the end of the video, I realized that he was apologizing to himself, for being so terrible to himself for so long. Those scenes were all him trying to process his trauma. The old man version of Nathan is confronting his suffocated guilt about how he treated himself, in childhood, as a teenager, and an adult. It’s a hard reality check for me as a young adult. Perhaps I am too hard on myself
LYRICS : Feels like we're on the edge right now I wish that I could say I'm proud I'm sorry that I let you down I let you down All these voices in my head get loud I wish that I could shut them out I'm sorry that I let you down Let you down Yeah, I guess I'm a disappointment Doing everything I can I don't wanna make you disappointed It's annoying I just wanna make you feel like everything I ever did Was never tryna make an issue for you But I guess the more you thought about everything You were never even wrong in the first place, right? Yeah, I'ma just ignore you, walking towards you With my head down, lookin' at the ground, I'm embarrassed for you Paranoia, what did I do wrong this time? That's parents for you Very loyal? Shoulda had my back but you put a knife in it My hands are full, what else should I carry for you? I cared for you, but Feels like we're on the edge right now I wish that I could say I'm proud I'm sorry that I let you down Let you down All these voices in my head get loud I wish that I could shut them out I'm sorry that I let you down Let you down Yeah, you don't wanna make this work You just wanna make this worse Want me to listen to you But you don't ever hear my words You don't wanna know my hurt, yet Let me guess You want an apology, probably How can we keep going at a rate like this? We can't, so I guess I'ma have to leave Please don't come after me I just wanna be alone right now, I don't really wanna think at all Go ahead, just drink it off Both know you're gonna call tomorrow like nothing's wrong Ain't that what you always do? I feel like every time I talk to you You're in an awful mood What else can I offer you? There's nothing left right now, I gave it all to you Feels like we're on the edge right now I wish that I could say I'm proud I'm sorry that I let you down Let you down All these voices in my head get loud I wish that I could shut them out I'm sorry that I let you down Let you down Yeah, don't talk down to me That's not gonna work now Packed all my clothes and I moved out I don't even wanna go to your house Everytime I sit on that couch I feel like you lecture me Eventually, I bet that we could have made this work And probably woulda figured things out But I guess I'm a letdown But it's cool, I checked out Oh, you wanna be friends now? Okay, let's put my fake face on and pretend now Sit around and talk about the good times That didn't even happen I mean, why are you laughing? Must have missed that joke let me see if I can find a reaction No, but at least you're happy Feels like we're on the edge right now I wish that I could say I'm proud I'm sorry that I let you down Oh, I let you down All these voices in my head get loud And I wish that I could shut them out I'm sorry that I let you down Oh, let you down Yeah, I'm sorry I'm so sorry now Yeah, I'm sorry That I let you down
I remember crying myself to sleep listening to this song when I was younger and hoping that tomorrow would be better. Tomorrow still hasn’t arrived, I’m sorry younger me🫂
I only discovered this song now and its so healing. Exactly what ive been trough with my parents. Ive always thought i was being crazy and unthankful for feeling this way. Its been almost 4 years since i moved out and only now ive come to realize that i in fact am not crazy and that they did me wrong. Thank you for these heartstriking lyrics.
Ohh, this song strikes me on so many levels. Father son relationship. The relationship with ourselves. If you are reading this, please remember that you are Great, just the way you are Now.
Don't decide let life decide for you it is what it is everyone around you can't man up to fight their own fear's they are calling upon higher power's but they don't know that they are selling their everything that means future, past and the here and now. I'm no wise man i sell realities and if i don't get paid the price i want then i'll have to eat the book, the painting, the note's to a song plus the beat. Don't follow my footsteps, don't like this comment it is a path worse than death. -The unknown
Me definitely cuz I just went through a breakup one month ago 😭 and I heard this song on Roblox so I typed in some of the lyrics and here I am BUT THIS MAKES ME THINK ABOUT MY EX A LOT 😭
@@naomihall8976 Your ex doesn't deserve you. There are a lot of trustworthy people out there, one day you'll find them and come to realize you never needed to think about your ex when you have those people to think about. You'll get through this. Don't trust me, just believe me.
@Haters toh jalte rahege Things won't get better, life's just a wave of good things and bad things. There is a good side to the world, I believe in you and many other people do, don't give up just yet.
the relationship between parents is not just a relationship it’s a personal friendship that is destined to grow stronger and stronger the more your life goes on but the way a father is meant to be in life is not like that
I really love NF's music. He doesn't curse, he doesn't talk about inappropriate things and stuff like other rappers. He hits home every time. It's so meaningful.
My father died last month. He always felt that I didn't care about him and let him down more than he had expected. I don't blame him, I was never good at expressing myself and I had many problems of my own to deal with. During his last few weeks, we tried our best for him to recover. We had long crossed our physical, mental and financial limits, but we still kept trying to save him. I just wished that he had gotten a last chance to feel that all of us genuinely cared. I wasn't even able to fulfil his last wish. He just wanted to come home and spend his remaining time together with all of us. Instead, he died alone on an ICU bed surrounded by unknown faces. So many painful regrets, yet there is nothing to do but live on and try to be there for others with more effort. I guess that is the only way left for me to honor the life he spent providing for us.
People are always afraid of letting others down but never realise they’ve let themselves down until it’s too late. You can’t fully love someone if you don’t love yourself first.
Damn, I feel called out lol For real now, anyone reading this, take care of yourself, don't be like us. Some of us (or me at least) consider ourselfs beyond help and that fucked us up too much. Remember that you matter and always put your happyness first before others
Hey NF my mom told me to tell you these exact words: "hey NF if my daughter sends you this comment I'm dead now you are one of my idols and I wish I could have met you when I was alive and I told my daughter to do what she desires and she knows that at this moment in time I'm watching her write this comment." These were her exact words from 1year ago how do I remember this? I really don't know how I remember this but she told me to tell each one of her idols these exact words
This is proof that anybody can achieve anything. And dont underestimate yourself because you are the only person who can choose what you ganna be. Dont listen to other people who judge you because whatever you believe you can achieve 💯
I was recently diagnosed with PTSD after being misdiagnosed for 12 years. Made my life HELL. I’m finally getting the therapy I need but unfortunately my mom kicked me out before I even started my exposure/COPE therapy.
Sort of pointing out the obvious there. Along the same lines, this video also doesn't contain robots, clowns, a scene of paragliding or any of the other things that would make absolutely no sense within the narrative of this song.
@@trenthurrelbrink6489 He said in one of his interviews that it is about a lot of things, and in that interview he also stated, that he doesn't want to tell to much about it, because he wants the person who listens to his music have there own interpretation of it. He never mentioned his dad in that one, so maybe its a part of that, but it's much more complex.
i literally saw the song silence on tiktok and it remind me of this song but i didn't know the name of it or the lyrics cos i forgot about it so i genuinely serched up sad song man in a burning car looking at his dad 😂😅
I know I'm late on commenting, but I remember hearing this on the radio on the way to school and singing it word for word, understanding the lyrics, this song is amazing and will stay that way for years on, so glad this man released these great songs
Imagine being alone all your life. Dying without a family and having no friends to mourn for you. It's like you've never existed...... I hope this doesn't happen to anyone.
Is it funny if I feel the same way even if I'm surrounded by family and friends? Like I don't think they care about me, everyone's busy and I feel like I'm a burden to anyone who would even care for me? So I draw the circle around me and let nobody inside, that way it's good to both me and everyone else. At the moment all I hope is, I changed at least one soul for their own betterment. I really do, or I'm a total failure.
@@mrforeigner2167 but don't ever feel failure man!!!! I feel the same ...and this life is sometimes worthless for me...but never lose hope......we are all with you
Nate has such an honest, empathetic, and compassionate way of just telling it like it is without holding back, his words cut deeper than any knife and hit harder than any rock, the guy has a talent for hard hitters that hit home, I think what he’s got going on blows allot of artists out of the water due to his genuine nature. The guys really been hurt in life and it takes a really brave person to step up and share that with the world to let them know that their not alone. Thanks Nate…. Keep hitting it out of the park.
to all the kids who tried their best to make their parents proud but every effort is nothing to them if you don’t achieve anything edit: thank you for noticing my comment i thought it’d get lost down the comment section but i guess most of us live the same lives •_•
You know sometimes is hard to get out of bed because you know that you will just be a waste to society. Everyday we are covered so much as humans but sometimes we need to reflect on ourselfs.
i slept without a “good night” i woke up without a “good morning” and i can live without a “i’m proud of you” because in the end we only have ourselves
This song hits so damn hard . When half your family has high expectations for you, but you just cant do good enough for them, you never feel enough. They see your flaws but won’t acknowledge your progress. It feels like you can’t do anything right, but they have no idea what you’re going through. And why you do the things do, why you can’t be the “perfect child”. The constant comparing and lecturing wears you down. And it just makes you want to cry, so you just fall into a deep depression without them even realising it .
everything since intro is connected in a whole story (except the clouds mixtape videos). like the white clothes in hope was given to him in the search.
@@OFFICIALSYXCRWD21 Lost from nf connects to hope because he finds the paddle on the mountain and the paddle was in the beginning of hope when he was in the middle of the ocean lost at sea
Carl Williams 1 week ago You! I love you! I comment because I remember on the verge of suicide but I’ve found the only source of help and I want you to get the help you need! Society says "if you dont act like this or look like this you are lower", Jesus shows "all the broken, lost, depressed, hurt, outcast, bullied, come to me and I will give you rest for your souls” People will tell you “you are fine” no, you are broken and lost and you need help from the only one that can literally do anything. Maybe you are feeling just numb and hopeless, just dead inside (spiritually dead), just a walking breathing corpse, what’s the point? There is actual hope, not just saying that to say it, you can be made new, a new beginning, a new heart, 2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” I’ve been saved and changed and I want you to be, and yeah I admit before I was a Christian I hated God and religion, didn’t care I was stealing cars and bikes, self brutalizing, beating people up, hit someone with a type of motorcycle, committing adultery in my heart and so on…. yet God saved me and changed me and I just am going through the comments and I want you to give up trying to do this yourself, give up running away from God and run to God, its a free gift! You are VALUABLE, and hey I’d love to to tell YOU the GOOD NEWS, but there is some bad news first, bare with me. You and I, we broke God’s laws, every time we have lied and stolen, said a bad word, hated someone, looked with lust, blasphemed (like saying OMG-), saying bad words, and so on. We have spent our life in rebellion against God, storing up His wrath, yet He provides us food, family, and the breath we use to blaspheme His name. You see, God is perfectly Holy, Just and Good. His justice means Hell for those who are guilty, a just judge is going to bring forth justice for those who break the law, and God will righteously punish sin and condemn guilty sinners to Hell. However, there’s GOOD NEWS! God made a way for sinners to be forgiven without violating justice. You and I broke, God’s laws, Jesus came to pay our bail! He took on flesh in the person of Jesus Christ. He lived the sinless life we failed to do having the perfect righteousness, and then offered Himself on the cross as a sacrifice for sin. If you trust in Jesus He will take your dirty broken record upon Himself and be punished for you, and give you His righteousness as a gift! Imagine you are in the middle of the road distracted with your headphones on, there’s a HUGE truck coming towards you, and before it hits you, someone whom you’ve spent your life hating runs into the road, pushes you out of the way and is completely crushed and slaughtered by the force of the truck for you, how would you feel? Well that’s what Jesus did for us when Jesus took the wrath of the Father that we deserved, was buried, then rose from the dead… showing the penalty fully paid! God offers salvation as a gift, you can either reject it or receive through repentance (giving up fighting against God, turning away from sin and turning to God) and place your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 5:8 “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” No amount of good deeds or works can save you, simply just receive it! God promises eternal life and a new heart that will desire righteousness. If you have a Bible I recommend you read the Gospel of Matthew! Jesus calls you to go to Him! Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. If you have not forgiven someone, please forgive them as Jesus offers to forgive you despite our rebellion, not forgiving can bring forth bitterness, so forgive, and let go! Luke 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” My instagram is @redeemedthroughChrist if you ever need someone to contact, no I don’t need you to follow me, just send a message, and yes I'm going to talk about Jesus because YES I love conversations but only Jesus can save you, but tell me what’s going on, spam me all you’d like I don’t mind! Also some counseling and a playlist with some music and helpful videos! My advice would be, stay away from depressing music, this society is corrupt and is targeting the youth and it is negatively impacting there mindset, along with the shows and so on. Coming to Christ is the end of your old self, and a new beginning. Even through the hardest times we have hope in Him, and our sin separates and hides us from God, but through Jesus we can be reconciled! God bless and I love love love love you so much, and God loves you infinitely more enough to die for you!

This video is about a father that wasn't there when his son needed him ,now that he is dead he regrets it ,he is sorry that he let his son down . 💔 the words of this song hits me deep.
It’s about him, you would’ve been right until the very end when his presumed future wife says, “Nathan.” Implying it was about how his past self let his future self down.

That's why I always listen to him, my parents say I shouldn't be listening to the stuff you listed so I showed them my playlist they were proud, it was ALL and ONLY NF
That is NF as an old man. Cliffhanger at the very end showed us that. The camera panned to his arm showing us the Real tattoo which Nf has in real life on that arm and the woman calls out nathan which is his name.
