R.I.P to my youth and you could call this the funeral I'm just telling the truth And you can play this at my funeral Wrap me up in Chanel inside my coffin Might go to Hell and there ain't no stopping Might be a sinner and I might be a saint I'd like to be proud, but somehow I'm ashamed Sweet little baby in a world full of pain I gotta be honest, I don't know if I could take it Everybody's talking, but what's anybody saying? Mama said if I really want to, then I can change, yeah yeah R.I.P. to my youth If you really listen, then this is to you Mama, there is only so much I can do Tough for you to witness it but it was for me too I'm using white lighters to see what's in front of me R.I.P. to my youth And you could call this the funeral I'm just telling the truth, yeah You can play this at my funeral Tell my sister don't cry and don't be sad I'm in Paradise with Dad Close my eyes and then cross my arms Put me in the dirt, let me dream with the stars Throw me in a box with the oxygen off You gave me the key then you locked every lock When I can't breathe, I won't ask you to stop When I can't breathe, don't call for a cop I was naive and hopeful and lost Now I'm aware and trapped in my thoughts What do I do? What do I do? I don't believe it if I don't keep proof I don't believe it if I don't know you I don't believe it if it's on the news or on the Internet I need a cigarette I'm using white lighters to see what's in front of me I'm using white lighters to see R.I.P. to my youth And you could call this the funeral I'm just telling the truth And you can play this at my funeral Tell my sister don't cry and don't be sad I'm in Paradise with Dad Close my eyes and then cross my arms Put me in the dirt, let me be with the stars
Some of you might not understand this part when he says “white lighters” to guide what’s in front of him. The meaning behind white lighters is that it is seen as bad luck to use them because Bob Marley used a white lighter before he died
This is one of my favorite songs by them. No, it is my favorite song by them. It just feels so real. It's the death of a childhood that died so early. Waking up an adult when you weren't supposed to be. Already walking with stained hands and an addiction to something. That's what this song is, and it's something I feel too deeply
He's walking along the side walk, letting the rain drop down on his hoodie; hood pulled over earphones that are quietly playing this. The rain grows heavier and heavier, the song repeats again and again. He reaches the almost empty highway, he lets the music take over, he closes his eyes, clutches his backpack and takes a deep breath and walks out in the middle of the highway road, rain pouring; soaking him. He holds up a white lighter, lighting it as he almost doesn't hear a truck drive up the road, barely being able to drive itself. The truck hits him and his last words are.... "i'm using white lighters to see what's infront of me..."
So, I’m 12. I consider myself to be quite mature for my age. I’ve been thinking recently that I have depression, how do I bring it up in conversation without not being taken seriously?
I'm sorry that no one commented in time. Sending you IMMENSE love. I know exactly how you feel. I bottled it up for so long and it led me on to dangerous paths. If you're gonna talk about, be blatantly honest. Say how you feel and then establish or categorize your feelings. Are you depressed? Are you lonely? Etc. I guess it just gives you more clarity. Please, do not be ashamed. Say what you want and how you want to. Again, mad love your way. If you ever need to talk, comment back and I'll try and reach out privately.
Kid ur still 12 i am 23 next guy will be 32 and the next 50 time flies by Depression is sth u will have no matter in this world keep the headphones in ur ears lsn to music and laugh to this shitty World its the only way to face it i know it sucks but faceit with a smile at least you will look badass bro gl i hope ur doing well much love
Tell my sister don't cry and don't be sad I'm in Paradise with Dad, close my eyes and cross my arms, put me in the dirt let me dream with the Stars. .......BROOOOO fuccing HEART!!!!!!!!!!!💔💔💔💔💔🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
(lol my experience with this song) it was 7th grade. you were on a girl scout trip, you were next to one of your best friends, both lying in your sleeping bags staring at each other, she turned on this song as you wrapped your arm around her. your friend asked one of the other girls “what would you call this?” the other girl replied “two gays” it was at that moment you knew you were falling for your best friend
Honestly I appreciate the people that comments the lyrics because the lyrics to a song takes a lot of typing and like I'm way to lazy for that soooooooo
I decided to turn off feelings for a while, because I was feeling too much, but now, I can’t turn them on anymore ‘cause I think that this is what is keeping me alive.
This song used to make me feel sad and I thought about my mom and that she’s no longer with us. But now my dad is gone too, it hurts deeply in a different way. Tell my sister don’t cry and don’t be sad I’m in paradise with ‘them’ 🖤
Now there's a thunderstorm and I'm just lying in bed crying letting every lightning flash reflect in my eyes, like crying lightning.. At the end of the song it's completely dark and quiet, all I hear is the sound of a plane flying somewhere in the sky. Isn't this what a perfect life looks like?
Meu Deus eu sempre escutei essa música pq achava gostosinha e agora eu tô chorando pq ela faz TODO SENTIDO E EU NUNCA TINHA VISTO DESSE LADO VSF EU AMO ESSA BANDA
