Dear Nothing, Nowhere. You are such an inspiration to me as a musician and lyricist. Your single track "Ruiner" got me in that magnificent pre-chorus, the amazing way you put the feeling of depression is beyond me. This song helps me and now I can't stop listening to this amazing album. I would be so happy to actually get the chance to meet you, let alone give you one of my songs to read. So I'll wrap it up with a simple thank you. You are a true talent and I am more than inspired and grateful for discovering you. Keep doing what you love, From simple-fan Itai.
LYRICS: [Verse 1] Growing up, I had a dream in my mind Then it came true, now it got me losing my mind I don't wanna seem ungrateful so I keep it inside Got me reminiscing, thinking of a simpler time Like me and Lopez used to skate down the block Passing time, spitting rhymes at the old parking lot I can't even drive past all the spots that I love 'Cause they're nothing even close to anything like it was But when I see a group of kids in the spot I wanna shake, I wanna tell 'em they don't know what they got Wish that I could travel back and try to tell me to stop 'Cause I had everything, I never needed a lot [Pre-Chorus] It's like I woke up one day and suddenly I grew up I can't remember what had happened, it was all too abrupt Drive around my old town, it's pathetic, I know The only time that I was happy and I can't let it go [Chorus] Was it all really better then? Or am I just getting in my head? And I just wanna go back I wish that I could just go back Was it all really better then? Or am I just getting in my head? And I just wanna go back I wish that I could just go back [Verse 2] I would never trade a friend for the fame But I been on the road touring and it isn't the same Losing touch with all the ones that I love How many calls I gotta miss 'til they stop giving a fuck? Been feeling down so I hit up my mom She told me everything will pass so put it all in a song I know my family can see I got a lot on my plate Seems like every time I'm home it's only just for the day So I been putting all my thoughts in this verse And I don't know that if it's helping or it's making it worse I just know its been a while since I felt like I'm fine I've been trying to learn to live my life one day at a time [Pre-Chorus] It's like I woke up one day and suddenly I grew up I can't remember what had happened, it was all too abrupt Drive around my old town, it's pathetic, I know The only time that I was happy and I can't let it go [Chorus] Was it all really better then? Or am I just getting in my head? And I just wanna go back I wish that I could just go back Was it all really better then? Or am I just getting in my head? And I just wanna go back I wish that I could just go back

I'm still waiting 4 the lyrics lmao ps: this is a bop so underrated I feel nostalgia listening to this and the beats at the end 2:58 idk men its beautiful
Who's here on may 18th? So glad I found Joe, one of my favorite artists forsure.. this song gets me deep in my feelings because I skate and I miss the old days with all my friends and getting into mischief and now I'm 22 with my own apartment and I'm struggling to pay my rent jumping from job to job.. I barely see my family or my mother and it kills me... I wish I could go back to when things were simple. When we didn't have a care in the world. Fuck

Man. This song hits me real hard. I'm around the same age & feel the same exact way. Feels like everything changed, not cause of fame for me, but because of depression. Just isolation, ignoring calls & texts, just people in general. My bed & my Klonopins are my best friends it feels like. Just wanna go back to my childhood, or at least early teens. I miss it & would trade anything to go back.
You made it so far...or they made it so far by finally seeing your genius. We are so proud of you. Thank you for saving our lives. Thank you for being there when no one else understood. Thank you for sharing your art with us. We all fucking love you foreverrrrr♡♡♡♡ "was it really better then?"
Even back in my early teenage years, I knew how lucky I was. I knew I shouldn't have wasted a single second. Yet it didn't stop time from passing, and I still feel kind of shitty about it sometimes. I think it's best to let kids be kids. Let them be hyped about becoming an adult. Who knows, maybe then, they'll learn to come to to terms with growing up and they'll become happy healthy adults.
This is a phenomenal underground artist , I've been rocking with NN since late 2016 thanks to my musical curiosity along with Lil Peep ( RIP ) that led me straight to him , this songs a masterpiece 💯
Holy fuck!!!!! This whole album! But this fucking song man.....I really needed this today....as I'm driving around my old town thinking about this, this song played for the first time....damn
"I wanna shake 'em, wanna tell 'em they don't know what they got" I find myself frequently encouraging my younger siblings to enjoy their life as it is now, I tell them that one day they'll suddenly be like me, 18, with their childhood gone. They just look at me in confusion, they don't understand, and how could they? I wouldn't expect them to. I know I shouldn't say this kinda stuff to them, but sometimes I just can't help it, because it's true, they don't know what they have. Just like how I didn't know what I had when I was 10.
