I used to listen to Kimya a LOT back in 2005- 2013. Didn't know it at the time but I'm an alcoholic and suddenly it all makes so much sense. I didn't know alcoholism would lead to psychosis and seizures, mine did. Sober since Jan 7th 2023
Im so proud of you!! My friend's father is an alcoholic, and a lot has happened in the past few weeks for them. i really hope he gets help before it gets worse
im an alcoholic. I dont know how I got to this point, but I got to it. this song had driven me too wanting too get sober. I dont know if getting sober is something I am capable of, but thanks to kimya, I want to try.
Alcoholism/addiction affects millions of people across the world. I know many alcoholics who are now in recovery and their stories are very similar to what This song portrays. Kimya is amazing,
My extraordinary friend who took her own life shook our town to the core. We had a memorial for her and someone sang this song, it really hit hard then, like I finally realized she was gone and it was for nothing just being young and impulsive. I really miss her everyday.
Six years. I discovered kimya from that movie Juno. All of her music is fantastic if you ask me, but this one really has shaken me. Its really eerie how off-putting this masterpiece is. Def my fave song from her now, taking the place of 'I will never forget'
"First I cried for him, then I cried for me, haunted by the ghost of the girl used to be. But the rock with wholes are warm in my hands and I buried my toes in the hot hot sand, and the silver pink pony kisses me and says 'you've come a long long way and you deserve to be really happy..."
that line kind of resonated with e because today I realized that I really am a different person that I used to be. glad drugs and alcohol weren't involved in that change, though. I fear those cause my mind is bad enough without them already and anything else and I feel I would become a pitiable husk
It's been 5 years. I'll tell you right now that no amount of suffering on earth is even close to the torture of "hell", Jesus Christ called it outer darkness where there will be weeping, gnashing of teeth and unquenchable fire.
@@willowtree3854 i think she took it off to show who she was and to convince him she wasn't going to shoot. He was really scared and her seeing his fear mad her feel sad.
Constantin Valdor but then she proceeded to shoot? And she made the promise prior to taking off the wig so my thoughts is that she as Tina Turner made the promise not to shoot but she herself didn’t, so when she took off the wig the promise was irrelevant and she shot herself. Just a thought but who knows honestly.
This song is incredibly sad, reminds me of 2008....But more importantly it reminds me of my mindset in 2008. A part of me wonders if some of these lyrics are unapologetic descriptions of actual events. For you see, whenever you are going through hell, it is really easy to be brazenly candid about lived events. You recount them exactly as they happened. The more outlandish these events seem, the better. Your reality is so crazy that is unbelievable to most. You speak the truth and everyone hears an allegory. A perfect disguise put in plain view. There are just too many specifics in this song for me to pass them off as clever lyrics...I know...I know what this is. And for those out there who can relate to this song....you know exactly what I am talking about.
you, my friend, have a profoundly accurate view of this and what it is, and your comment resonated with me almost as much as the underlying and overlaying nuances and raw blunt truth wielded with a sledgehammer hand that is the song itself props
3 days and then another 2 to redo all the ones I hated, not including editing and storyboards. Note: If you are going to be drawing with Expo markers all day, open a window.
my dad died like a month ago due to alcohol poisoning or alcohol withdrawl we dont knowz but something alcohol related. it's summer where I am and he told me that this summer he was going to get sober. he never got the chance to get clean. he was my best friend. I was the one that found him. please try for your loved ones to get clean, and have a few extra years with you. I would kill for one more conversation with my dad
padiddle is a car game (like punch buggy, when the first person to see a VW bug can punch the other) wherein the first person to see a car missing a headlight has to call padiddle and hit the roof. Some versions make you strip if you re the last to call
I shocked myself when I started bawling like 30 seconds into the video, I tried to catch as much as the lyrics and by the end of it I kinda knew what it was. I wish you all guys a good day/night.
Z. Chase a kid in my school said I would burn in he'll and I replied with this "as if I would be scared of burning in hell while I was already there" then he ran away and told the principle what I said and she just went into her office and cuntinued with her work XD
I was 9 when this video came out and I used to listen to it with my older cousin in her computer room. Listening to it 11 years later and being able to actually relate to the lyrics along with the nostalgia is such an emotional trip
my mom was an alcoholic since before my older brother was born, and was all the way until she passed. i started drinking when i was 11 and quickly became an alcoholic for 5 years. i learned some pretty bad coping skills when i was young and they just stuck. my dad always told me i would “end up like my mom” when he wanted to hurt me, and i held onto that. if everyone else sees it, might as well make it happen. self fulfilling prophecy. i’m sober now, have been for a while, but last time i drank, i really thought i could be okay, but instantly fell back into the hole within that hour. i feel horrible when i drink, it’s a good feeling on the surface but inside it’s fucking awful. i first listened to this song last summer, and i immediately got that awful feeling i get when i’m drunk. i feel gross, almost dirty, and a type of sadness that isn’t recognizable, a sadness i haven’t felt outside of drinking. but the ending of this song, it makes me hopeful. my mom was so close to being sober, but it was taken away from her so quickly when she died. i still have time to change my “fate”. throughout all my trauma and shitty childhood memories and years of loneliness and being lost, i know i still have a light. the good memories of my mom, and her hopes of soberness, they guide me to a new happiness. we can all make our own decisions, even if they are extremely difficult and impossible seeming, we push through all of the shittiness and trouble, so we can find a light at the end.
I got to meet her once after a set at some awful bar with some people I think I still hate to this day---she was just the most genuine person ever and. Wow. What a gal.
This song is beautiful. The words are well put together. It’s an emotional rollercoaster. It is sad that this song is being used for a trend, it means that I will always hear that one part, but I’ll never get sick of it
Me and my friend use to listen to this song all the time. Now I cry everytime I hear this song and sometimes it's the only way I can cry. We drifted apart now because life happens. The worst times of my life she was there. This song reminds me of who I use to be and drops an anchor that keeps me from drifting away from who I am...
I am crying because my newly minted adult daughter is hanging by a thread. Life is hard for them. We both love Kimya Dawson. They say they want to live but have dark thoughts all the time.
one of the few songs that make me feel something, also as well as the other comment somewhere below i don't usually like fan-made music videos but this one rules.
I'm sure lots of people say this but i have never found a song that I can relate to more than this one. particularly "haunted by the ghost of the girl I used to be". I'm grateful to kimya Dawson for writing such honest music :)
667 comment. Kimyas lyrics share the understanding of navigation to/from our darkest places *ie self exit attempts* and it hits in a way that keeps some from having to go there themselves. It's some of the truest therapy that exists. She should really be sending the bill in the mail 😂
ive found that i relate to this maybe in some ways not literally but this song makes me realize im a very messed up individual...all because of horny men. this song made me cry when i heard it for the first time. i was going through something awful but i find comfort in this song
